Onward Christian Soldiers?
- By W.H. Lamb
I’m certain that most folks who consider themselves to be “Christians” are familiar with that venerable old hymn, “Onward Christian Soldiers” (1871), with those inspiring words by Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) and the great music by Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900); (yes, the same Sullivan of “Gilbert & Sullivan” operettas fame). There was a time in America—a time that seems to have just about disappeared—when Christians loved to sing hymns with a “military” theme. Most of us know them: Stand Up For Jesus, You Soldiers of the Cross; or Soldiers of Christ Arise. Sadly, many modern hymn books no longer contain hymns like these that portray Christians as “soldiers of the Cross”. In fact, in some denominations and in some other nations, the singing of “Onward Christian Soldiers” has been forbidden by the wimps of their dying Christian (in name only) churches as “too militant”, “too unloving”, “too un-Christ-like”.
Justice for George Floyd Should Turn Our Eyes to the Babies
- By Alveda King
Racism – A socially engineered concept based upon the false premise that there are separate races of human beings. One is a racist when one believes himself to be part of a distinctly separate race of the human species. This concept of racial separatism has no basis in scientific evidence.
"We must learn to live together as brothers [and sisters], or perish together as fools." Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Tuesday, a panel of jurors found ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all three charges in connection with the murder of George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, who died on May 25, 2020 after Chauvin held his knee against his neck or upper body for nine minutes and 29 seconds, as a handcuffed Floyd repeatedly said: "I can't breathe."

SALTY SEZ – The Gift
- By Ray Simmons
It’s getting downright difficult to find a truthful website these days. It seems everybody wants to talk about the Covid virus and the several vaccines supposedly treating it. Hardly anybody calls the vaccines experimental – which is what all of them are. One thing you don’t hear about on-line or in the news is the real pandemic affecting our world, you just might hear a Pastor or two calling attention to it. It’s world-wide, touching every country and every person in some way or another. It’s the pandemic of SIN, and there’s only one vaccine that can cure it, His name is Jesus Christ. When you think about it, it’s far worse than Covid-19, or any other virus out there.
GOP to Planned Parenthood: Mind Your Loan Business
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
There are lots of ways to describe a business with $2 billion dollars in assets -- but "charity" isn't one of them. And yet, that's how Democrats must see Planned Parenthood, the "nonprofit" that just took in its biggest taxpayer-funded haul in history: $618 million dollars. Now, as if that weren't enough, they've stuck out their hand for more -- trying to cash in on the pandemic relief that clearly meant for small businesses. Well, Planned Parenthood isn't "small" and isn't eligible. And if the country's abortion tycoon doesn't give the money back, Senate Republicans want the government to come and take it.
Regular Americans Are Not Going to Fall for the Left's Cynical Politics of Racial Division
- By Neil Patel
The left and the right have been battling it out for months over who can freak out average Americans the most. Regular Americans were definitely not impressed by the photos of team QAnon in capes and horn helmets posing in the U.S. Capitol. Normal Americans may be mad at Washington, but they love our country and don't want to see national monuments turned into a freak party. People had the same reaction when angry left-wing rioters defaced war monuments to our nation's heroes in Washington last summer.
The Left's Systemic Exploitation of Race
- By David Limbaugh
When I occasionally complain about the left politicizing race, fellow conservatives often say to me, "Don't worry about this. They've lost all credibility on the issue, trivializing it by overuse. They're getting no traction with it." Oh?
You'd have to be blind and deaf to deny that this tactic is working for the left politically and that it has caused great harm. Democrats and the left bring up race every five minutes to demonize Republicans and profit politically. It is nothing more than a raw power grab.
Is America Led Today By Anti-Americans?
- By Pat Buchanan
How can America unite again to do great things if we are led by people who believe America suffers from a great sickness of the soul, an original sin that dates back to her birth as a nation?
Consider.
After his long night of prayer for "the right verdict" to be pronounced -- Derek Chauvin was convicted on all three counts -- Joe Biden stepped before the White House cameras to tell us what it all meant.
George Floyd's death, said Biden, "was a murder in the full light of day, and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see the systemic racism... that is a stain on our nation's soul -- the knee on the neck of justice for Black Americans."
House Dems Pass Marijuana Bill
- By Eagle Forum
Tuesday was April 20th, the unofficial holiday of cannabis culture. According to the Delaware Online, “The number 420 has become a secret code among potential roommates and people on dating websites, a way to covertly let someone know that they welcome marijuana into their home or love life.
Unfortunately, legalizing marijuana has long been on the agenda for House democrats. And, on the week of 4/20, it’s no surprise the House majority attempted to slide in a marijuana bill through suspension vote. Under suspension, a bill passes via unanimous consent or voice vote. It’s typically reserved for bills that are not controversial, but that’s not always the case.
Dangerous New Caliphate Emerges in Africa; Extremist Group Boko Haram Responsible for World's Highest Rate of Religious Violence, Reports Open Doors USA
- By Open Doors USA
SANTA ANA, Calif. -- Nigeria hosts the highest rate of religiously-motivated violence in the world, and, according to religious freedom watchdog group Open Doors USA, a new caliphate is emerging in the region of Sub-Saharan Africa.
"The pattern of extremist attacks in this region strikes an alarmingly similar tone to the beginnings of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Without a concentrated effort to counter its spread, we can only expect the new Islamic State to become more dangerous," said David Curry, CEO of Open Doors USA.

Wade Hampton III: Combat - Part 5
- By Bob Dill - Publisher of The Times Examiner
General Wade Hampton III stands alone as one of the greatest warriors of all time. General Hampton was wounded more than five times in the service of his country. He raised troops, arms and money for the service of the Confederacy. He lost his fortune, home and a son as a result of his unselfish devotion to his countrymen. He did not however lose a major engagement in the face of the enemy while in command of a group of fighting men. Confederate History is American History and Wade Hampton III is truly one of the greatest Americans of all time.
Wade Hampton entered the Confederate States service shortly after the bombardment of Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina, April 12, 1861. Hampton traveled to Charleston to personally recruit men for his Legion and the Confederacy. He paid for newspapers to publish calls for volunteers around the State. He was concerned that he was too late to recruit as calls went out after secession for volunteers to enter service in the South Carolina Militia. Hampton interviewed men from the Army, Navy, the Citadel Cadets and civilian life for his recruitment. In seven days he had more men than he could use.
Lawmakers Pushing for More Power in Home Counties
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
State lawmakers are continuing to push bills that would increase legislative delegations’ powers over local K-12 schools and other public agencies in their home counties.
Today, for example, the House Education and Public Works Committee, chaired by Rep. Rita Allison, R-Spartanburg, is scheduled to consider a Senate bill that would allow a legislative delegation – made up of senators and House members in a county – to control the appointment of an interim local school board if a popularly elected board is dissolved following an approved “state-of-education emergency.”
Astroturfing COVID Agitprop
- By Michelle Malkin
Attention, parents: If your children are online, they are being bombarded by an inescapable public relations campaign by all the Bigs -- Big Pharma, Big Government and Big Tech -- to brainwash them about the COVID vaccine.
While children under 18 remain at the lowest risk of COVID-19, peer pressure to get the experimental jabs is enormous. That groupthink is compounded by relentless messaging from politicians, celebrities and social media influencers posting virtue-signaling photos of themselves flaunting their arm Band-Aids and immunization papers. The playing field is rigged by internet titans who ban all dissenters and label all skepticism as "misinformation" or "conspiracy theory." It's mass agitation and propaganda -- agitatsiya -- that would make the old Soviet Marxists proud.
A Border Boiling Over
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
When the 10 Republican lawmakers arrived before midnight to tour the migrant holding facility in Donna, Texas, they were shocked by what they saw. "The migrants, dirty and exhausted, were sitting in row after row. Almost all were silent. The 'facility' was mostly benches, a line of porta-potties, some basic supplies, and a trailer with the sign MOBILE DENTAL UNIT," wrote the Washington Examiner's Byron York. Some migrants had endured a 40-day journey from Honduras. Many had hiked miles through rough terrain in the dead of night, from where smugglers left them to where American border guards picked them up. In March, border guards encountered 172,331 unaccompanied minors, family units, and single adults on the southern border, and the flood keeps on coming. And yet still, Democrats still insist: there is no crisis.

Sin of Planned Parenthood Is Abortion, Not Margaret Sanger
- By Star Parker
The president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Alexis McGill Johnson, has used The New York Times as a confessional to fess up to the racist history of Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger.
"We must reckon with Margaret Sanger's association with white supremacist groups and eugenics," she writes.
Sanger's involvement with the notoriously racist eugenics movement in the 1920s, and her population-control motivations to limit the procreation of "undesirables," is something pro-lifers, particularly black pro-lifers, have been writing about for years.

Russia Massing Troops on Ukraine Border
- By Mike Scruggs
Background on the Ongoing Turmoil in Eastern Ukraine
The population of the Ukraine is about 42 million. Of that 42 million, 78 percent are ethnic Ukrainians, and 17 percent are ethnic Russians. About 23 percent of Ukrainians consider Russian to be their main language. Both Russian and Ukrainian are similar East Slavic languages. Likewise, the genetic DNA mix of Russia and Ukraine are similar. Christianity survived Soviet Communism and is growing rapidly. According to a 2018 Razumkov survey, about 72 percent of Ukrainians identify as Christians. Most, 67 percent, identify as Ukrainian or Russian Orthodox. Orthodox Patriarchates are divided between cultural connections to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and Moscow. About 13 percent are specifically oriented to the Moscow Patriarchate. Most of the Russian ethnic population is located in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine bordering Russia. Several areas in the Donbass region have pro-Russian separatist majorities. These are centered in the cities and regional administrations (oblasts) of Donetsk and Luhansk, which are sometimes referred to as the Donetsk and Luhansk republics.China, Russia Movements Major Test for Biden
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
While the situation at America’s southern border is debated as to whether it is truly a crisis or not; and while congress debates the extent of the administration’s infrastructure bill, there is a much more ominous situation developing on the world scene that could impact, indeed, the entire world.
Both Russia and China are flexing their perspective military muscles in different parts of the globe, and the foreign policy implications for the Biden administration are, to say the least, critical.
Christianity Is the Backbone of America
- By Frank Raddish - Founder/Director Capitol Hill Independent Baptist Ministries
Is America at the point of no return? Our forefathers knew that the only way to keep our country prosperous was to honor God, the family, and the church house. Believe it or not, this quote appeared in the New York Times on November 18, 1992. It said, "The less we emphasize the Christian religion the further we fall into the abyss of poor character and chaos in the United States of America." The things that made America great are the influence of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the power of God that has blessed this country.
Oratory for a Time Such as This
- By W.H. Lamb
(With Apologies to William Shakespeare)
(Reference: “JULIUS CAESAR” by William Shakespeare, Act. 111, Scene 11).
PATRIOTS, AMERICANS, COUNTRYMEN, LISTEN TO ME.
I COME TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH, NOT TO BURY IT.
THE EVIL THAT LIBERALS DO LIVES AFTER THEM,
WHEN IT SHOULD BE BURIED WITH THEIR BONES.
SO SHOULD IT BE WITH ALL COLLECTIVISTS.
THE IGNOBLE BRUTES HAVE TOLD YOU THAT AMERICANISTS ARE DANGEROUS;
THIS IS NOT SO, IT IS A GRIEVOUS FAULT,
AND GRIEVOUSLY HAVE WE BEEN MALIGNED.
SALTY SEZ – Don’t Believe It
- By Ray Simmons
You know, a couple of years ago I had hope the American people would awake to what had been going on for several decades and work to bring the nation back in line. A lot of them did. They went out and voted for President Trump for a second term. When that vote was stolen by a bunch of elected and appointed officials they didn’t know what to do. With Trump gone from the scene they had no leadership. We saw people sworn to defend and protect our Constitution from all attacks, domestic and foreign, become its attackers. Whoopee number 1! We saw Justices chosen to ensure its protection failing to take any action. Whoopee number 2! We saw a frustrated Military without the leadership or the gumption to move against the enemy. Whoopee number 3! Now we are watching as a nation commits suicide and we are wondering why.

Dems Pave a Gavel Road to Court-Packing
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Now we've heard it all. Democrats, who were already the butt of jokes for calling childcare "infrastructure," have done us one better. According to House liberals, court-packing is too! In a tweet, Congressman Mondaire Jones, a New York liberal declared: "Supreme Court expansion is infrastructure." Like a lot of people, Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) couldn't believe their eyes. "You just can't make this stuff up," she shook her head. And unfortunately, Democrats aren't. They're on the march to expand the court -- no matter what they call it.
