The Cuban Dismissal Crisis
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
It took five days, but the White House has apparently had enough time to consider the question and agrees that yes, communism is a failed system. Even that admission was like pulling teeth from this president, who's been surprisingly muted in his response to the Cuban protests. But even his slow reaction was better than the outrageous responses from others on America's Left, who've decided the real villain in this crisis isn't the brutal regime -- but America!
Black Lives Matter, which is finally ending this ruse that they're anything but Marxist radicals, released a blistering statement blaming the United States for every cruel and inhumane thing that's happened to the Cubans over the last 62 years of oppressive rule. "Since 1962," the group claims, "the United States has forced pain and suffering on the people of Cuba by cutting off food, medicine, and supplies costing the tiny island nation an estimated $130 billion." In their long missive, they accused America of causing instability, called the embargo "absurdly cruel" and said that our foreign policy in the region is essentially "worse than embarrassing." Naturally, they never thought to point the finger at the real culprit of Cuba's misery: communism.
*10* Facts Why Healthcare Workers are Refusing the COVID-19 Vaccine
- By Dr. Christa Krzeminski
For months, the news media has constantly barraged viewers with vaccine, vaccine, vaccine.
It’s amazing how many experts on vaccines and viruses have emerged over the last 11 months. I mean seriously, experts are everywhere…Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, the local grocery store! It is truly astonishing!
One statistic that has been circulating, which many people are questioning, is 40% of front line healthcare workers have refused the vaccine. This number comes from multiple government watchdog organizations who have combed through the data of county health departments.
That is a big number…4 out of 10 healthcare providers have refused the vaccine!
We Should Erase the Racism in Critical Race Theory
- By Eagle Forum
No nation is perfect, and no nation’s history is free of sin and struggles, but America’s commitment to the ideals outlined in the Declaration of Independence set us apart in the world:
We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
These are ideals are under attack, and we must fight back.
SALTY SEZ – No Thank You!
- By Ray Simmons
Most everybody likes to have good things pop up now and then. You’ve probably heard, or maybe even said something like… ‘boy, that sure was a great coincidence, all that coming together.’ I’ve even found myself talking like that. But thinking it over, I really don’t believe in coincidences. God knows everything that has been, that is and that will be. In essence He really controls it all, or sometimes just lets it happen. Just recently I read an article that stated some people are wondering about a supposed coincidence: there were three countries that refused to take the Covid vaccines: Burundi, Tanzania, and Haiti. Now the presidents of those three countries are DEAD. President Pierre Nkurunziza of Burundi, President Jovenel Moïse of Haiti and President John Magufuliof Tanzania, all reasonably young and healthy men. It’s known that President Moise was shot and killed. The article didn’t say why or by whom and didn’t mention how the other two died, but said there were concerns, and questions raised about the ‘coincidence’ of all three presidents refusing the vaccines being dead in less than a year. Some people were even asking what the arithmetical chance of that happening might be. I was never that good at arithmetic so I wouldn’t even suggest a guess.
From Torture to Triumph: Religious Freedom at Work
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
"It would be better for my parents to find my corpse in a ditch than risk what Boko Haram would do to me." - Joy Bishara
It was the middle of the night -- the only time of day when girls like Joy could slip into sleep and forget. On a dark April night, that fragile peace was shattered when she was nudged out of her dreams by a friend in her dorm. "Something is wrong," her classmate whispered. Outside, they heard the gunshots, coming from every direction. "Boko Haram is here." Startled awake, the girls looked at each other in silent terror. They all knew what the noises meant. The terrorists, the ones from their worst nightmares, had come.
What the Protests in Cuba Tell Us About the Left's Agenda for America
- By Neil Patel
As the American left argues openly for socialism, it's helpful to keep in mind just how dreadfully those policies have failed -- and just how viciously socialists have responded to those who got in the way -- in countries throughout the world. Watch the recent protests in Cuba and you will see how regular people feel about the direction the American left wants to take. They aren't happy.
Since the Communist revolution in 1959, leftists in America have celebrated purported Cuban progress in areas such as health care and education. Little mention was made in those quarters about the Cuban government's human rights abuses, which include political executions, arbitrary imprisonments, an unfair legal system and severe limits on freedom of expression, free association, free assembly, free movement and, of course, a free press.
Texas Democrats Flee State to Avoid Election Security Vote
- By Eagle Forum
After last year’s election debacle, states legislatures are considering bills that would make our elections safer. However, Democrats want the opposite. They are even running from their elected duties and asking their big brothers in Washington, D.C. to fight their battles. We are watching this unfold in Texas as we speak.
Texas Senate Republicans considered Senate Bill 1 this week which had a number of provisions to safeguard their elections. It would ban drive-thru voting except for those with disabilities as well as overnight voting. In larger areas, video surveillance would be required along with a live stream during vote counting. Additionally, voter identification would be required as well as information from a person submitting ballots on behalf of someone else.
American Marxism
- By David Limbaugh
Most people sense that America is under assault by America-hating forces and worry that our freedoms are actually in jeopardy. Mark Levin's new book, "American Marxism," confirms those fears, exposes the chilling aims and methods of these malicious groups, and provides a blueprint to restore America to a path of recovery.
Levin has a gift for distilling abstract ideas into understandable terms for lay consumption. I've personally written and discussed many of the ideas he addresses in this compelling book but had not considered the term "counterrevolution" to describe what we're witnessing.
Is Biden Really the Lincoln of Our Time?
- By Pat Buchanan
Traveling to Philadelphia Tuesday, President Joe Biden laid out in apocalyptic terms the gravity of the "threat" to American democracy from Republican efforts to reform and rewrite state election laws.
"We are facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. That's not hyperbole. Since the Civil War. The Confederates back then never breached the Capitol as insurrectionists did on Jan. 6."
Biden is inviting a comparison of what he faces with what Abraham Lincoln faced when he took office in 1861 with seven Southern states having voted to secede and Fort Sumter a month away.

Reports of America's Death Are Greatly Exaggerated
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Look up hyperbole in the dictionary, and you'll find a description of President Joe Biden's speech Tuesday at Philadelphia's National Constitution Center, warning Americans that state election security bills are a "21st Century Jim Crow assault" on democracy. Among his more ridiculous exaggerations, Biden warned: "We're facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. That's not hyperbole. Since the Civil War. The Confederates back then never breached the Capitol as insurrectionists did on January the 6th. I'm not saying this to alarm you; I'm saying this because you should be alarmed."
Legislative Delegations Skirting State Open-meetings Law
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
One day last month, state lawmakers representing Greenville County held separate meetings in a legislative building on the State House grounds in downtown Columbia – about 103 miles from Greenville – to discuss certain county board appointments that they control, as well as rules governing their delegation meetings.
In the smaller Darlington County, the county legislative delegation doesn’t meet as a group on county matters, according to a delegation member.
In neighboring Florence County, delegation meetings for years have been held in Columbia – about 83 miles from Florence – organized by a Senate employee who works for arguably the state’s most-powerful lawmaker.
Could Greenville GOP Delegation be Removed from SC State GOP Club?

South Carolina Democrats May Have A Long Sought-after Opportunity
On July 11, 1804, longstanding political rivals and personal enemies, former Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton and Vice President Aaron Burr raised their dueling pistols and took aim. Due to political upsets by Hamilton, Burr retaliated by challenging Hamilton to a duel in which Hamilton was killed.
Politics has always been an ugly business. Relationships get soured and emotions boil out of control. The ramifications can be long-lasting.
Unfortunately, South Carolina’s Grand Old Party is currently in the middle of such turmoil.
This current dueling all started with the largest county delegation of the South Carolina Republican Party. Any state-wide candidate knows that to win a state-wide election requires a healthy relationship with the Greenville County Republican Party.

Hemphill Award Honors Brashier Legacy of Ministry
- By LaVerne Howell - NGU
Recognizing the life work of a mentor to pastors, North Greenville University (NGU) recently presented the 2021 Paula and Ken Hemphill Award for Denominational Service to the late Dr. T. Walter Brashier, Sr. The honor was bestowed posthumously to the noted real estate developer who died March 24, 2021, at the age of 86, after battling several health issues in recent years.
“Many do not realize that Dr. Brashier was also an evangelist,” said NGU President Dr. Gene C. Fant, Jr. “He preached over 1,000 revivals across the Carolinas, and he was a mentor to pastors all over the place.”
The Hemphill Award was presented on June 15 in Nashville, TN, at NGU’s Alumni and Friends Dinner during the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting. More than 90 people were in attendance at the dinner in the Aquarium Restaurant.
Feds' Bill for No-Fly Secrets: $4,536

'I'm from the Government, and I'm Here to Vaccinate'
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Most people were shocked when the president wanted to go door-to-door with his vaccine campaign -- but that's only the half of it. According to a Pentagon spokesman, the White House is also planning to go barracks to barracks -- requiring the men and women of our voluntary military to involuntarily surrender their freedom and take an unproven shot some of them don't want.
Frankly, Obama Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told CNN, "I think the president ought to issue an order requiring everybody in the military to get a COVID-19 shot -- period. That's an issue involving our national security," he argued. "The last d--- thing you need is to have those in the military that are our warriors unable to respond to a mission because they've gotten COVID-19. There's no excuse for that." Interesting, considering that the same military leadership has been cheerleading the troops' gender reassignment surgery, which renders patients completely undeployable for months. Apparently, it's no problem if you skip out on your job for the extreme LGBT cause. But if you have a personal objection to the vaccine, well then, a handful of potential sick days is unacceptable.

Bogus Claims From the Poor People's Campaign
- By Star Parker
The Poor People's Campaign has announced a "season of nonviolent, moral direct action," targeting the U.S. Senate with disruptive activities every Monday, July 12 through Aug 2.
According to the campaign's co-chair, the Rev. William Barber II, "The Senate must end the filibuster, protect and expand voting rights, and pass a minimum wage of $15 an hour."
Barber is getting national attention. Even President Joe Biden recorded a video expressing his support.
Foundation Files Suit to Halt DC Minor Consent Law
- By Parental Rights Foundation
WASHINGTON -- Today the Parental Rights Foundation, in conjunction with Children's Health Defense, filed suit in federal court on behalf of four DC parents to halt enforcement of DC's Minor Consent to Vaccination Act of 2020. According to the complaint, the new law circumvents the legal and constitutional right of parents to make medical decisions for their minor children.
Passed by the DC Council on a 10-3 vote last November and allowed to pass into law by Mayor Muriel Bowser in December, the Minor Consent Act would allow a medical provider to administer vaccines to any child aged 11 or older if the medical provider decides the minor is mature enough to provide informed consent and if the vaccine is on the list of vaccines recommended by the United States Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
Are the Good Times Over for Biden?
- By Pat Buchanan
Are the Democrats headed for their Little Bighorn, with President Joe Biden as Col. Custer? The wish, you suggest, is father to the thought. Yet, consider.
On taking office, Biden held a winning hand.
Three vaccines, with excellent efficacy rates, had been created and were being administered at a rate of a million shots a day. The pandemic was at its peak but looking certain to turn down, and it did.
This welcome news lifted national spirits, and the economy with it.

The Democratic Senate’s Not-So-Secret Weapon
- By Eagle Forum
You may recall that in April, the House of Representatives passed legislation on D.C. statehood. Unfortunately for us, this has long been a priority of the country’s Democrats. Consequently, almost every Congress there is a push to make Washington, D.C. a state, and Republicans sound like a broken record replaying the reasons why D.C. can’t simply become a state.
For starters, it’s blatantly unconstitutional. Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution enables Congress to govern the District of Colombia. Our Founding Fathers envisioned the location of the Federal government to be an independent entity outside of another state. In doing so, the Founders sought to prevent D.C. from pressures and influence by one state government rather than another.

Facing Racial Realities
- By Mike Scruggs
Measuring an American Dilemma
Charles Murray’s just published book, Facing Reality: Two Truths about Race in America, comes just as Neo-Marxist Critical Race Theory (CRT) doctrines have become major social justice engineering ideology and policy for the Biden Administration and Democrat Party leadership.
Murray is one of the most renowned and courageous political scientists in the U.S. and the world. He has a BA degree from Harvard and MS and PhD degrees from MIT. He is also the author of Losing Ground (1984), The Bell Curve (1994), and Coming Apart (2012), and Human Diversity (2020)
CRT is not a cure for racism; it is racism of the most vicious, hateful, and unforgiving kind—it is flagrantly anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-family, anti-capitalist, anti-history, and knows no truth or moral standard but power. CRT is an immediate threat to our military effectiveness and the integrity of our educational institutions. It is a protection racket that is corrupting American corporations and university administrations, and a divisive threat to public order and safety.
