Israel Threatens To Destroy Syria Regime If It Joins Gaza War
- By Stefan J. Bos - Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
JERUSALEM/DAMASCUS – Israel has warned that it will destroy Syrian President Bashar Assad’s “regime” if Syria gets involved in the Gaza war, diplomats said Monday.
“The Israelis clearly warned Assad that if Syria was used against them, they would destroy his regime,” a Western diplomatic official told media on condition of anonymity.
Recent months saw several strikes on Iranian targets in Syria, widely blamed on Israel.
The attacks culminated in an April 1 Israeli airstrike that leveled a building next to Tehran’s consulate in Damascus and killed seven commanders in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, two of them generals.
Four Radical Reforms to Shrink the Federal Budget
- By Stephen Moore
It was nearly 50 years ago that a liberal Congress completely dominated by Democrat big spenders passed a new set of budget rules -- the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
It has been a complete and unmitigated disaster. Since the act's passage, the budget has been balanced four times and unbalanced 46 times. This was by design. Despite being called a "budget reform" law, the act was intended to grease the skids for new spending, but even Congress members the '70s who designed it that way couldn't have imagined the Pandora's box of spending and debt it uncorked.
The law's intention was to loosen restrictions on congressional spending, and to that extent, it worked.
Where Is the Safe Space for Jews?
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
A recent trend on college campuses is to install “safe spaces,” places where students — or certain identity-group subsets of students — can go to feel safe. These safe spaces are exclusionary by design; they protect students by insulating them. In extreme cases, safe spaces have been deemed to cover entire campuses, leading to the exclusion or disinvitation of undesirable visitors.
This “safe space” trend has been rightly ridiculed for its tendency to protect college students’ feelings from exposure to opposing viewpoints. Such exposure serves to sharpen the mind and used to be college’s main virtue. Thus, protecting students from “harm” by sequestering them from intellectual diversity undermines the whole point of college education.
The Demonization of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin
- By Mike Scruggs
Russophobia as U.S. Foreign Policy and Media Culture
May 2, 2023, a timely revision April 22, 2024
A few days before Tucker Carlson was dismissed from Fox News, Fox News 9:00 PM host Sean Hannity began his evening show with a statement something like, “We know Putin is evil.” Soon thereafter, Fox News host and contributor Mark Levin chimed in with a few phrases condemning and demonizing Putin. Do we know Putin is evil or is it that we are constantly told by Deepstate politicians and their captive media that Putin is evil? What is the objective basis of such a statement? Would the assumed facts hold up to cross examination and analysis? Given the establishment media’s failure to make the obvious connections between the February 24, 2022, Russian invasion and the February 2014 U.S. State Department-backed coup and regime change in Ukraine, reasonable people have formidable cause to doubt the wisdom and factual basis of such careless and inflammatory language. Moreover, the resulting eight years of continuing war and cultural genocide perpetrated by the new coup-based Ukrainian government against the large Russian ethnic population concentrated in eastern and southern Ukraine gives us a righteous discomfort with such defamation. Both Hannity and Levin also engaged in an episode of this sort of Putin demonizing in February of this year. Moreover, in two previous interviews with President Trump, Hannity had pressed Trump very hard to condemn Putin. Trump, to his credit, refused to engage in such dangerous rhetoric. First of all, Trump is strong enough to maintain his objectivity, and second, smart enough not to make statements that would wreck any possibilities of future negotiations with Putin or the Russian Federation on Ukraine or any other issue.
Title IX Pushes Girls Out
- By Eagle Forum
Biden’s DHHS Moves Forward on Erasing Girls and Women
Washington, D.C. — Today, the Department of Health and Human Services released its rewritten Title IX rule. Originally created to allow women equal access to education, the Biden administration has gutted these protections by expanding the definition of sex to include self-proclaimed ‘gender identity’.
Early last year, DHHS released a proposed version of the rule for the public to review. Over 230,000 comments were received. Eagle Forum joined countless other conservative organizations in opposing the new regulation.

Abiogenesis is Unobservable
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
There are several reasons why abiogenesis is unobservable. The first is that if it did happen, it happened in a place and time beyond our observation. The second reason is that if abiogenesis happens current ideas of it happen to take too long to be observable. Finally, any observation of a new life where it had previously not been seen, could have numerous other explanations other than abiogenesis. They could include simply missing it before, contamination by our own actions or presents, the life that we find could simply come from another location, and there are many more possibilities. All of this adds up to abiogenesis being unobservable.
Because observation is a major aspect of science, this means that abiogenesis cannot legitimately be considered science since it is completely unobservable. The entire idea is nothing but a result of the presupposition of atheistic naturalistic materialism, not science.

392,715 ... It's More Than Just a Number
- By The Restoration Project
ATLANTA -- 392,715. It's just a number until you realize it is the number of abortions completed by Planned Parenthood according to their 2023 annual report. When that realization sinks in one can't help but wonder if 70-75% of those abortions were on Black women. Why? Because in 2012, Protecting Black Life published information revealing that 78% of Planned Parenthood's surgical facilities were within a two-mile radius of black and Latino neighborhoods.
Tucker Carlson Interview of Vladimir Putin - Part 9
- By Mike Scruggs
US Leadership and Promises, Ukrainian Cultural Conflict, Radical Influences on Zelensky
At the end of Part 8 of this series, Tucker Carlson had asked Vladimir Putin whether working with different U.S. presidents had made a difference in US-Russian relations. Putin said that his relations with G.W. Bush were cordial even though Bush had pushed for Ukrainian membership in NATO in 2008, and that his relations with Trump were cordial as well. Relations with Biden had evidently been more difficult.
Vladimir Putin continues: It is not about the personality of the leader; it is about the elites’ mindset. If the idea of domination at any cost, based also on forceful actions, dominates the American society, nothing will change; it will only get worse. But if, in the end, one comes to the awareness that the world has been changing due to objective circumstances, and that one should be able to adapt to them in time, using the advantages that the U.S. still has today, then, perhaps, something may change.
“You Will Own Nothing, And You Will Love It”-- Says The Fascist, Klaus Schwab And His Globalist “World Economic Forum” - Part 1
- By W.H. Lamb
A LITTLE BACKGROUND HISTORY
From their earliest days in the 1920’s, Adolf Hitler and the members of his fledgling National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazis) in war ravaged Germany (that’s WW1 for those who are “historically challenged”) promised all of the German people who believed, correctly, that their nation had been totally humiliated by the Versailles Treaty (which formally ended that war and obligated Germany to pay huge and punitive reparations), that he and his Nazi Party would both restore German dignity and pride, and would make Germany a great nation again, with a strong leader (Hitler) in control.

Idaho's Entire Congressional Delegation Calls Upon the Supreme Court to Protect Idaho from the Biden Administration's Attempt to Expand Abortion into Idaho by Overriding Their State Pro-life Laws
- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON -- Below are quotes from Idaho's congressional delegation.
"The Biden Administration's attempt to preempt Idaho's pro-life laws with a false interpretation of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTLA) would set a precedence that is harmful to America's women and children. EMTLA was deliberately created to protect women and children in active labor. Every American has the fundamental right to life, including the unborn, and Idaho has strong laws in place to ensure innocent lives are protected. I have faith our justice system will stop this blatant use of federal overreach and put an end to Biden's harmful abortion agenda." -- Senator Crapo

Why Small Businesses Hate Bidenomics
- By Stephen Moore
If the economy is so good, why do small business leaders feel so bad?
The latest Small Business Optimism Index from the National Federation of Independent Business could hardly be more depressing. It finds that the men and women who run our 33 million small businesses and hire more than half of American workers are in a somber mood. The survey finds that small-business confidence has reached its lowest point in 12 years.
Amazingly, small company CEOs are even more fearful of the future today than during the COVID-19 pandemic, when most businesses were shuttered. The confidence numbers have decreased every year President Joe Biden has been in office. Here are the numbers, according to NFIB:
Is US Rep. William Timmons Bloating His Voting Record with Out-of-State Proxies?

Timmons Uses 180 Proxy Votes, of which only 25 Are Using SC Representation during the 117th Congress after Opposing It
How often do you come home from a hard day’s work and find bills in the mailbox among campaign postcards from those who remind you why you can't pay those bills due to the rising cost of inflation?
Or as you prepare for your evening meal, here comes out of their bedroom, your YouTube generation and online social media teenage child screaming how much they and their online friends hate a certain candidate’s interruptive campaign ads accusing their opponents repeatedly.
Well, one of those incumbent candidates has been consistently and repeatedly attacking his opponent for not having a perfect record and missing so many votes in his current State House tenure; and at the same time, bragging about how much a perfect attendance record he has had in his US House tenure compared to his opponent.
On closer inspection, there is more than meets the eye.

Nike Stocks Still Tanking a Year after Mulvaney Partnership
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
A lot has happened since Dylan Mulvaney pranced around his yard in a Nike sports bra last April. Days after his face appeared on Bud Light cans — the controversy that launched a thousand boycotts — the sight of him doing jumping jacks in women’s workout gear was almost worst. And a stock chart that looks like a downhill ski slope proves it. Months after the country protested with a bonfire of bra burning, the only swoosh Nike hears now is the sound of profits gushing.
While Bud Light hogged most of the spotlight with its historic collapse, the devastation of Nike’s trans advocacy is real. By August of last year, the brand of Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods was experiencing what experts called “its biggest losing streak since 1980.” With catastrophic losses — upwards of $13 billion dollars in market value — consumer outrage was packing a serious punch.
To Americans Everywhere
- By John Porter - Harrison, Arkansas 72601
Here are some issues which I hope you will give honest and serious consideration when deciding on November 5th, whom we should hire as our president, only eight months from now if we are to prosper and remain living in safety under a Constitutional Republic of free individuals. And there are more than these, but surely this is enough.
Whether one is a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or otherwise, should bear absolutely no consideration. Color of skin, gender, age, (not including ability to function mentally), size of ego, likes to tweet/or not, gives others nicknames, should bear absolutely no consideration.
State Gender Ideology Laws Under Scrutiny in Federal Courts
- By Eagle Forum
States Stop Trans Train
Several courts are dealing with the issue of Gender ideology again. There have been two important rulings recently – one that deals with protecting kids from “medical transitioning” and the other on protecting girls’ sports. Both cases address state laws and these decisions could have serious implications for other state efforts.
Last year, the Idaho legislature passed and signed into law the Vulnerable Child Protection Act, a law that bans minors from receiving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormone, and genital mutilation surgeries and creates a felony charge for those who knowingly participate in these actions. Two families with transgender minors sued the state in an attempt to keep the law from going into effect. A federal district court blocked the law citing equal protection and due process issues. Then, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the state’s appeal. The Attorney General sent an emergency request to the Supreme Court asking it to overturn the 9th circuit and allow the law to go into effect for everyone but the two families suing Idaho. The Supreme Court agreed.
