School Enrollment Numbers Continue to Fall
- By Anne Schlafly Cori, Chairman, Eagle Forum
"Where did all of the children go?" asks a headline in the St Louis Post-Dispatch (2/19/2023). The Covid pandemic is over, yet students have not returned to the public schools. Some school districts in the St. Louis region have 10 percent fewer students than they had in 2019. Nationally, more than 1.5 million students have left public education since the pandemic.
Usually, when a business loses customers, the business tries to figure out how to make its offerings more attractive to reach new customers. They lower their prices or they increase the quality of the merchandise. If the business is losing money, then they cut expenses and lay off workers.

Senate Judiciary Committee Tries to Resurrect Equal Rights Amendment
- By Eagle Forum
Will the ERA be the Phoenix that Rises from the Ashes?
Sparks flew in the Senate on Tuesday as Democrat Senators tried to make a case for raising the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) from the dead. The Senate Judiciary Committee chaired by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) held a hearing entitled, The Equal Rights Amendment: How Congress Can Recognize Ratification and Enshrine Equality in Our Constitution. Although panelists were stacked in favor of the ERA, they failed, yet again, to make the case for removing the deadline on the ERA as well as defending it on its merits.
China Is Openly Infiltrating Our Political System and the American Media Doesn't Seem to Care
- By Neil Patel
The American media has been liberal for decades, but the utter disregard for the truth that pervades much of the reporting today is something new. With all the alarm over misinformation on the right, little attention has been paid to the much broader form of misinformation that dominant corporate media perpetrates today.
One of the biggest stories of our time is the way Communist China has co-opted so many leading American institutions and individuals. How is it that America, a country committed to human rights, is freely trading with China, a country currently operating slave labor camps? That's a serious and important question, but it's one the media barely addresses.

Legitimately questioning the Bible
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The biggest problem associated with questioning the Bible is the tenancy to assume the Bible is wrong unless proven otherwise. Furthermore, that proof is usually based on how well it agrees with a secular perspective. This is definitely not a legitimate way to question the Bible because you are not really giving it a chance. There is a legitimate approach of questioning the Bible but it requires giving the Bible a chance to actually be correct.
Parents and Children Are the GOP Future
- By Josh Hammer
The Republican Party's slow transformation from the Bordeaux-sipping party of Acela Corridor suburbanites into the beer-drinking party of working-class Rust Belt-ers and Sun Belt-ers has been picking up some steam lately. And as the GOP's divorce from the Chamber of Commerce over irreconcilable cultural differences accelerates, a golden opportunity has emerged to recast the GOP not in a 1980s-era image of supply-side tax-cutting, but in a revamped image of the party that focuses on supporting parental rights and protecting vulnerable children from modern society's depredations.
Christian Community Credit Union Donates $10,000 to Assist in Release of MAF Pilot Ryan Koher
- By Christian Community Credit Union
SAN DIMAS, Calif. -- Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) has donated $10,000 to aid in the release of MAF pilot Ryan Koher who has been in a Mozambican high-security prison since November 4, 2022. Koher was on a mission to fly supplies from southern Mozambique to an orphanage in the northern part of the country where there has been insurgent activity. Unfortunately, what should have been a routine flight for the greater good, turned into false allegations. Police believed that the supplies were to support terrorists in the region, a belief that simply doesn't align with the facts. Ryan has been detained for nearly four months, still waiting for specific charges to be filed.

Christian Girls' Basketball Team Forfeits Tournament Game against School with Biological Male
- By Dan Hart - The Washington Stand
On Monday, it was reported that a Christian high school girls’ basketball team in Vermont forfeited a game in the fourth round of a state championship tournament when it was discovered that a biological male who identifies as a transgender female was on the opposing team’s roster. Experts are applauding the school’s decision, pointing to the physical dangers that male athletes pose to female athletes as well as the infringement on fair play that is created by allowing males to compete against females.
“We withdrew from the tournament because we believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players,” said Vicky Fogg, who serves as Head of School at Mid Vermont Christian School (MVCS) in White River Junction. “Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.”

What a difference a word makes in the Bill of Rights, and such a little word at that!
- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting AN establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; …” Bill of Rights, Constitution of the United States.
The little indefinite article “an”, capitalized above, is crucial to interpretation of the first clause of the First Amendment. Use of a wrong article here gives disastrous results from the original intent. Our nation has experienced those disastrous results! This erroneous interpretation, and other reasons, have actually led to the complete deletion of the first religious clause of the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights as debated and ratified by the forefathers into a present collage of US Supreme Court cases, as they rewrite the clause, into a new meaning that no one now can comprehend or understand of the actual religious issues that the first clause identifies. This unconstitutional rewrite by the Supreme Court has led to the suppression of the Word of God concerning the Good News of God in the Cross of Jesus Christ. The innocent youth of the nation have suffered the most!
Georgia Guidestones Darkest Secrets Revealed | Destroyed by a Villian or a Hero?
- By The Why Files
On July 6, 2022, a bomb detonated on a 5-acre plot of farmland in Elberton, Georgia. The explosion destroyed a large monument that had stood on the property for over 40 years. Known as "The Georgia Guidestones", it was four monolithic slabs of granite, weighing over 230,000 pounds, that contained a set of rules for a more peaceful and orderly society. The identity of the builder was a mystery for 40 years, but today I'll tell you who he was. But why did he want to keep his identity a secret? Probably for the same reason the Georgia Guidestones were destroyed. Because, according to the Guidestones, the way to a perfect society is through a one-world government, genetic and racial purity, and massive global depopulation. In other words: A New World Order.
Putin’s February 21 Speech to Russia—Important Excerpts
- By Mike Scruggs
A View of the Ukraine War through Russian Eyes
Vladimir Putin - February 21, 2023, Moscow.
According to Russian scholar and Princeton and New York University professor, Stephen F. Cohen, since 2008 and becoming more intense since 2014, the U.S. political-media establishment has engaged in an ongoing demonization campaign against Russian President Vladimir Putin. Cohen has warned:
“The personal vilification of Russia’s president is propelling the new Cold War toward hot war, poisoning American politics, and degrading US media.”
Just two days before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, conservative Hoover Institute Scholar and frequent Fox News commentator, Victor Davis Hanson, warned President Biden to stop demonizing Putin. Demonization of adversaries severely limits diplomatic alternatives for future peace. It is thoughtless, arrogant, and stupid, and causes unnecessary loss of life.
Letter to the United States Congress
- By Lois Gates - Travelers Rest, SC
To the United States Congress:
Hear this, O foolish people of Congress, who are without understanding. Whose eyes cannot see and whose ears cannot hear.
For among you are found wicked men; you lie in wait as one who sets snares against the people. Who sets traps against your land. As a cage full of birds, so is congress full of deceit. Because your transgressions are many; your sins are increasing greatly. Should Congress be pardoned for this?
You commit adultery against the people by treacherous means and assemble yourselves as troops against the righteous and the weak. You are like well-fed lusty stallions as one seeking after your neighbor’s wife. Astonishing and horrible things have been committed in this land; the leaders talk falsely; the churches rule by their own power and not by GODs. Should Congress not be punished for these things? Shall not GOD take venges on such a nation of leaders as this? You who have sworn by those who are not gods!
Anonymous Texts Target Rep. Magnuson and House Conservatives
- By Josiah Magnuson - SC House Representative for District 38
In the last two weeks, most of our SC Freedom Caucus members, including myself, have become the target of false and misleading text messages that attempt to confuse and misinform voters. This is a statewide effort by anonymous dark money groups who pretend to be conservative but are attacking the most conservative legislators in the House. It is the height of hypocrisy. Don't be deceived!
The first text message sent about me states that I voted to keep a pro-abortion judge on the State Supreme Court bench. This is false.
In reality, I voted No on a ten-year term for Gary Hill, a judge who I had reason to believe was likely not pro-life. Since he was the only option on the ballot (more reason why we need judicial reform), If he was defeated it would have meant a new judicial election would have to be held with new candidates, giving us another shot to elect a strong conservative as a Justice.
Is The Democrat Party An Enemy Of Our Constitutional Republic? (Part 2)
- By W.H. Lamb
“When the righteous are in authority (a-or are increased), the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.” - Proverbs 29:2 1599 Geneva Bible
“When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.” - Proverbs 29:2 N.I.V.
Last time I ended with the contention that “neither of our two main political parties is the same NOW as they were originally…”. The perception has been that what we see today—the Democrat and Republican Parties as they currently exist—is what they have always been. But that is not the case. If we were able to “time travel” back to the last quarter of the 18th century and to most of the 19th century, the time when our present political parties were being conceived and organized, we would not recognize them. If our Founding Generation came back today to the nation they founded in 1787, I contend that not only would they be shocked at what we, their political and spiritual descendants, have allowed befalling their dream but that they would also accuse the US of allowing their visions of constitutional liberty and limited government, that most of them sacrificed so much to bequeath to their future countrymen, to be usurped, violated, and virtually destroyed. And they’d be correct in their accusations.
As Train Derailments and Tensions with China Unfold, Experts See Crisis in U.S. Leadership
- By Dan Hart - The Washington Stand
As yet another massive train derailment unfolded in Nebraska on Tuesday in the wake of the controversial federal response to the derailment disaster that has engulfed East Palestine, Ohio, experts are seeing a connection between the responses to both East Palestine and the recent aggressive actions of the Chinese regime: failed and incompetent American leadership.
“It’s a disaster,” said Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) on Wednesday’s edition of “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins.” “There again [in East Palestine], you have an administration that just checks a box. They don’t — [as] I always say — put the best players in, coach.”
