The Relationship Between Science and Peer-Review
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One claim that is commonly made against creation science is that it is not science unless it has been peer-reviewed by the proper journals. In other words, creationists doing their own peer review is not good enough; it has to be by the right journals. Naturally, by the right journals, they mean those that hold to philosophical naturalism and would never approve of an intelligent design or creationist paper. According to the people who make this claim, no matter how good the quality of the research, it does not qualify as science unless approved by the right people. This is a rather authoritarian view of science that is completely contrary to the entire idea of science and the scientific method.
Leibniz and Calhoun: The Christian March of Progress and Postmillennial Truth
- Details
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
Since the Fall, sinful humanity has used and abused language to promote their sinful designs. Today, our liberals call themselves "progressives", and suggest thereby that if we would all follow them, all would be well. Reason and reality, however, say otherwise: and they — reason and reality, by which we trace causes and effects -- clearly show that the thinking and feelings of liberal "progressives" are actually delusional and perverse inversions of reality that, if adopted as personal or public policy, lead to perdition.
All good-hearted and right-thinking people approve of and desire real progress, if by "progress" is meant improvement in the physical and moral and intellectual and spiritual condition of humanity. But the struggle between good and evil in this fallen world is so deep-seated and fundamental that it includes a prior struggle over the very definition of "good" and "evil" and of "progress" and "regress." And, in our age of mass communication and propaganda, he who controls the language controls, for good or for ill, the fate of millions and of nations.

- By Chip White - Greer, SC
Justin Bradley is a proven conservative reformer with a fresh vision for the statehouse. He has fought for taxpayers, stood with law enforcement, fixed roads without raising taxes, and delivered real results for Spartanburg County. Now, he’s ready to take that same fight for accountability and conservative change to the State Senate.
Justin grew up in a working-class home in Spartanburg County and became the first in his family to earn both a bachelor’s and a graduate degree, graduating from USC Upstate and the University of South Carolina School of Law. After law school, he returned home to Spartanburg County to raise his family and serve his community.
Trump Officials Preach Gospel, Praise God at Charlie Kirk Memorial Service
- Details
- By S.A. McCarthy - The Washington Stand
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was honored Sunday in a memorial service attended by President Donald Trump and members of his administration, where Kirk’s Christian faith took center stage. “It’s like an old-time revival, isn’t it?” the president asked, after listening to Charlie’s family, TPUSA colleagues, and friends in the administration preach the gospel for five hours in State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
“Eleven days ago, my friend was martyred for using his voice to engage in peaceful dialogue. Charlie’s assassin thought that he could steal and silence his voice by putting a bullet in his neck,” Kirk’s friend and TPUSA Chief of Staff Mikey McCoy recalled. Quoting philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, he continued, “The tyrant dies and his rule is over; the martyr dies and his rule has just begun. Charlie was not silenced. His movement is only beginning.” McCoy referenced one of Kirk’s frequently-worn t-shirts, featuring the slogan “live free,” and urged the tens of thousands gathered there to do so. “True freedom is not found in doing whatever we want, but pursuing Christ and doing what is right. In Charlie’s words, get married, have more children than you can afford, build a legacy, pass down your values, and pursue the eternal.”
Ukraine War Update September 22, 2025

- By Mike Scruggs
Facts from the Real War versus the Propaganda War
What most of the American and Western European media present to the public on the Ukraine War is Ukrainian propaganda. This propaganda is, however, the product of several dominating sources, which predominantly consist of American Deep-State agencies and their NGO (Non-government agency) fronts, a similarly entrenched anti-Russian British government bureaucracy, and a powerful and ruthless Ukrainian super-nationalist minority of not more than 5 to 15 percent. The Ukrainian core comes from the absolutely dominant and thoroughly corrupt Right Sector and Freedom Party extreme nationalists. I use the term “absolutely dominant” because there has been minimal freedom of speech, political opinion, and media expression since the Right Sector and its allies came to power after a US-backed regime-change coup in 2014—most frequently called the Maidan Revolution. Since the beginning of the Zelensky regime in 2019, all opposition parties have been outlawed; all opposition media has been shut down; and even the large and conservative Ukrainian Orthodox Church has been banned because of its connection to the Russian Orthodox Church.
Some Of Our Favorite Things

I’ve published a version of this article before, and it always gives me a chuckle or two to think about some of my “favorite things”. What about you? I’ll bet you like to think about your “favorite things” just as I do. And in this time of stress and demands by our ‘wanna-be” political masters (Marxists, Dumbocrats, Globalists, Technocrats, mega-billionaires, bought-and-paid-for politicians and the international bankers and asset investors who control all of them), perhaps you’ll get a few much needed pleasant memories to brighten your day, if only for a few moments, and ignore the ravings and babblings of the mental midgets among us who love to posture as our ‘equals” or, more amusingly, as our “betters.”

Many have recently received a reassessment notice. This is not the same thing as a property tax bill, though many people understandably are confusing them. Here’s how it works in Greenville County, what drove recent changes, and why the notice may look scary even when your tax bill doesn’t increase proportionately.

The Case Against Jerome Powell
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
It's hard to believe that a couple years ago Time magazine considered naming Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell as their Person of the Year. He may well have won, if it hadn't been for someone named Taylor Swift.
Powell has been idolized by the Left for one reason: He's been a thorn in the side of President Donald Trump for years. If Trump says "ying," Powell says "yang."
Last week Powell finally lowered the federal funds rate, and better late than never. But his speech to the media was a tirade against Trumponomics. He was filled with doom and gloom in his statement, telling global investors that the economy is growing at only 1.6% so far this year and is expected to grow 1.6% next year.
Taliban Rejects Trump’s Demand to Hand Over Bagram Air Base, Vows to Defend Afghan Sovereignty

- By Emmitt Barry, with reporting from Washington D.C. Bureau Staff
(Worthy News) – The row over Bagram Air Base has escalated sharply, with U.S. President Donald Trump warning of “bad things” if the site is not returned to American control and Taliban leaders vowing to resist any attempt to reclaim it.
On Sunday, the Taliban urged Washington to honor its commitments under the 2020 Doha Agreement, which pledged the U.S. would not threaten Afghanistan’s “territorial integrity and political independence.” The group said America must avoid “repeating the failed experiences of the past” and instead adopt a “realistic and rational approach.”

The Philosophical Nature of Origins
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The topic of origins is very important to understanding who we are and where we come from. The problem is that because none of us were there, assumptions need to be made about the types of processes going on. These assumptions are largely philosophical in nature, because our philosophical presuppositions are going to influence what types of processes we will accept.
Sadly, many people think that such research is totally objective and that the only reason creation and intelligent design models are excluded is because they're not supported by evidence. The problem is that this presumption of objectivity can easily be demonstrated to be erroneous, based on the reactions to both creation and intelligent design.

Charlie Kirk Is a Casualty of the Cultural Counterrevolution
Revolutions and counterrevolutions can get nasty and violent — even cultural revolutions and counterrevolutions. Charlie Kirk was a culture and political warrior — and a very successful one — in a conservative counterrevolution that seeks to undo the Left’s cultural revolution that began in America in the violent street riots and protests of the 1960s, and proceeded to infiltrate and ultimately to take over the country’s cultural institutions, schools, universities, post-graduate institutions, the media, and several religious institutions. This revolution also spread to politics and formed what counterrevolutionaries call the “Deep State.”
Congress Takes a Holiday from Oversight
- Details
- By Ken Buck
Given the recent headlines that President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. military to blow up three Venezuelan ships, the American people could rightly wonder if we are at war. It's a fair question, and one that Congress should be posing through oversight hearings.
The U.S. military blew up a ship on Sept. 2, killing all 11 people on board. On Sept. 15, the military struck again, this time sinking a second ship and killing three people, according to the Defense Department. And President Trump announced on Sept. 16 that, in fact, the U.S. military had "knocked off, actually, three boats." The third had not previously been disclosed.

Are We Going To Let Moon Bats Destroy Us?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
We’ve all seen them in person or on video: Little flying mammals who come out around dusk in search of insects or fruit to eat. A few of them seek out animal blood to drink, and are called “vampire” bats. Most people are afraid of bats (which don’t get in your hair, as an “old wives tale” long has claimed), but except for the remote possibility of being bitten by a rabid bat, they are harmless to humans and generally are beneficial to mankind. All except one.

Millions of Americans are now struggling to fully register and to fully understand, amidst shock and high emotion, the heinous political assassination and murder this past week of Charlie Kirk. As they painfully register the bare fact, and sorrowfully follow the news for details, they sense, quite correctly, that the country and the world in which they live with their loved ones was changed somehow by that terrible event. In their sorrow and anger, they are looking for a better understanding of the great spiritual forces at work, both within and around them. By such terrible events, the Lord Our Shepherd, with the hook of his shepherd's crook, draws us back to Him.
The Assassination of Charlie Kirk: What Do We Do Now?
- Details
- By Tom DeWeese - American Policy Center
The number one thing we cannot do is surrender to fear! Charlie Kirk would never accept that. He would lead the movement to expose the forces of evil and work to eradicate them. Because that’s what always he did! I have never known another activist so brave as Charlie as he routinely went on college campuses – the very heart of the Left’s stronghold since the 1960s, when I started my political activism.
Do Creationist Arguments Result from Incredulity or Agency Detection Bias
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The claim has been made that creationist arguments result from either incredulity or agency detection bias. This claim is primarily a way of dismissing any argument that would infer a designer Regardless of the nature of the argument. The insistence of this problem is never made with a reasonable explanation, the person making it simply continues to insist on the fallacy or bias.
Incredulity fallacy
An argument from incredulity Claims that an idea has to be false because it contradicts the person's personal beliefs, or that they cannot imagine that it is true. It can also take the opposite form of making the case that an idea has to be true for the same reasons. The problem with this fallacy is the fact that personal belief does not in and of itself mean that something is true or false.

Regarding the Assassination of Charlie Kirk
- Details
- By Robert W. Malone, MD, MS
Wikipedia calls him a “right-wing political activist.” That is a gross distortion and over-simplification. Speaking personally, I am deeply saddened and impacted by this assassination. I believe that Charlie was a future president and a gifted communicator, with a remarkably agile mind coupled to a deep commitment to Christianity, the United States, and to the founding principles of this country. His mind was a beacon, and his heart was pure and kind.
Tennessee and the Return to Common Sense: Historical Education is in Fact Safety

- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center
Places like New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and California try to keep the peace by omission, by making law-abiding people get hand-gun licenses –if they are even available, while the Mentally ill & felons and illegal aliens run around carrying, often even brandishing their guns. Who’s safe there? That question was, obviously, rhetorical.
When I was young, kids had their guns in the back window of their pickups in the school parking lot, so they could go hunting on the way home. I don’t remember school shootings ever happening then. Hmmm.
