While America Sleeps
It has been 248 years since the American Colonies declared their independence from Great Britain. Through the awesome Providence of God’s favor, He raised us up from insignificance and brought us through many hardships, dangers, and struggles to become the most powerful, most prosperous, and most freedom-blessed nation in the world. We have spent our tears and blood in this continuous struggle, but it was the Lord of Hosts who guided us and planted and nurtured our determination to persevere. We have raised mighty armies and mighty industries, and achieved spectacular technological advances, but it was always though His kind Providences that we succeeded in our building and in our victories. It has always been His invisible but invincible Arm that has defended us and brought confusion and defeat upon our enemies.
Will a nation that turns its back upon its God-given blessings and protection from its enemies do so without consequences? Will a nation that turns its back upon God’s Word and teachings continue to prosper? Will a nation that openly defies God’s standards long enjoy peace and security? In his 1978 Commencement address at Harvard University, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn summed up how the Russian people had fallen into what turned out to be over 70 years of oppression, suffering, and brutality under Soviet Communism, in which some 60 million people were “swallowed up:”
Mohler: Left-Wing Anti-Semitism Motivated by 'Hatred of God'
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday took the rare step of rebuking his own party’s left flank for anti-Semitism, criticizing them for believing that the principle, “Injustice against one oppressed group is injustice against all … does not extend to the Jewish people.” Schumer usually deploys his speeches to benefit Democrats at Republicans’ expense, but an increasing tally of violent anti-Semitic incidents in progressive strongholds has grown too glaring to ignore. In a Thursday conversation on “Washington Watch,” Southern Seminary President Albert Mohler said left-wing attacks on Jews ultimately boiled down to their “hatred of God.”
Supreme Court Justice Defends Secretive Disciplinary System
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
At a recent S.C. House special committee hearing on judicial reform, Supreme Court Justice John Kittredge touted the “almost non-existent” number of ethics violations committed by state judges.
“Each week, members of the judiciary receive a report of all the ethical violations of judges around the country, and regrettably, it’s a pretty long list,” Kittredge said at the Nov. 7 hearing, the first of two public meetings held so far by the committee.
“But what you don’t see on that long list for every other state in the country,” Kittredge, 67, of Greenville, continued, “is you don’t see reports of South Carolina judges being reprimanded, being sanctioned, being removed.”
The Past Is Always “Prologue," But So Is The Present!
- By W.H. Lamb
THE TRAGIC STORY OF “THE WHITE SHIP”
First off, let’s define the word: “prologue”. Webster’s defines it as ‘anintroductory or preceding event or development’. In a literary work it is often called a ‘preface’, a commentary or explanation that the author includes to clarify the story or the facts that are to follow. The term, ‘the past is prologue’, tells us that, in real life, almost EVERYTHING in the past can bea prologue—or a causative event-- to whatfollows it. Thus, my responding to my “four-legged alarm clock” at 8:30 a.m., and dragging myself out of bed this morning was my ‘prologue’ to getting her breakfast and taking her out for her “morning activity”. That’s a fairly easy concept to grasp. What is more complicated to fathom is how the past of each one of us—I mean the really “long gone past”—has affected who we are, into what family we were born, and even in what country we originated. Now that’s kind of deep, isn’t it? In addition, it’s quite fascinating to “conjecture” various “present scenarios” resulting from a series of “past prologues” that might have happened but didn’t, e.g. a person of the past never existed or an event of the past never occurred. How would that affect our present? In some cases perhaps not at all, or only minimally. In other cases world history would be changed.

Tigerville Christmas Parade Rescheduled for December 9
- By Billy Cannada - NGU
Due to the forecast of inclement weather, the fourth annual Tigerville Christmas Parade is postponed until December 9 at 11 a.m.
“We realize that is will cause inconveniences and disappointments, but we appreciate everyone’s patience,” said Matt Jennings, event organizer and Owner of Cherokee Valley Course and Club. “This is a great event for our community. It’s a family atmosphere, and it represents what Tigerville is all about.”
National Non-Profit Blasts Documentary 'Between Life & Death: Terri Schiavo's Story' an Inaccurate Cover-up on a Tragic Tale
- By Christian Newswire
Film Released on December 3rd - Terri's Birthday - Her Legacy Deserves Better
WASHINGTON -- Yesterday, MSNBC released a 90-minute documentary chronicling the case of Terri Schiavo. Sadly, it failed to capture the real human tragedy that was a woman being forcibly starved and dehydrated to death over 13 agonizing days. Further, it was quite unfortunate that the producers chose to frame this story of horrific abuse through a false lens of supposed "compassion" instead of portraying the real story of what transpired.
We recognize that condensing years, if not decades, of events into a 90-minute video is difficult. Still, the final product does not present even a fair portrayal of the brutality that Terri had to endure at the hands of Michael Schiavo and the Florida courts, which enabled his actions.
John C. Calhoun and the Providential Progress of Technology and Government
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
We moderns are awash in technology. Technology frames our lives physically and mentally, and often — despite its benefits -- dominates us to our detriment, reaching farther into us than we care to admit -- even into our inner depths, spiritually.
More than mere inventions and devices, technology in its deepest sense is a mode of life and of living. It is a powerful and seductive force —ever promising greater ease and convenience and pleasure and titillation and thrill, in limitless or infinite series. An aggressive force with a momentum of its own, it competes with and often overwhelms and overshadows other, healthier, and more civilizing values and ways and rhythms of living.
Senators Try to Tie Up Loose Ends Before Christmas
- By Press Release
Senators Feel the Christmas Crunch
After several rough months for Congress — deposing the Speaker and wrestling over funding the government through the holidays — it may seem that the major issues are out of the way for the rest of 2023. Government funding will continue, via a continuing resolution, through January 2024 and several reauthorizations that still need to be passed (such as the Federal Aviation Administration bill) are not controversial. However, there are real disagreements over abortion funding, immigration, and foreign aid that Congress must resolve before the end of the year.
America, France and the Free Market
- By Veronique de Rugy
It's fashionable to claim that the free-market ideas of Nobel-laureate economist Milton Friedman have failed the country, and that it's time for new policies. Campaigning in 2020, Joe Biden declared that "Milton Friedman isn't running the show anymore." More recently, New York Times columnist David Leonhardt noted that people like Friedman promised that the free market "would bring prosperity for all. It has not."
This is nonsense. For one thing, I wish we lived in a world fashioned more fully by Friedman's ideas. Sadly, while his insights have indeed influenced some U.S. economic policies, particularly during the Reagan administration, the extent of their implementation has been quite limited.
Americans Put the Holiday Hurt on Disney, Target, Others as Boycotts Bleed into Christmas
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
When Disney CEO Bob Iger sat down to talk with employees about his bumpy year at the helm Tuesday, he said, “I knew there were myriad challenges that I would face.” What he didn’t count on was those “myriad challenges” being millions of still-angry Americans. After management ran the brand into the ground over a popular parental rights’ law last year, nothing seems to be rehabilitating the company’s image. Even the second coming of Iger, who was behind the wheel for some of Disney’s best chapters, hasn’t brought back the magic for consumers. Now, staring down a holiday season with crashing stocks, box office losers, and even less goodwill, will Iger stop riding this polarized express?
Green Groups Are No Longer Promoting a Cleaner Environment
- By Stephen Moore
The late, great humorist P.J. O'Rourke used to quip that everyone wants to save the world, but no one wants to wash the dishes.
Well, now that can be said for traditional environmental groups that seem to have lost their way.
Green groups are supposed to be about keeping our rivers, lakes and streams clean. They are supposed to be about fighting litter and keeping toxic chemicals out of the air. Their job is to maintain the beauty of our national parks and save elephants and tigers.
Progressive Public High School Offers Race-Segregated Classes
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies have grown so diverse that they now include policies reminiscent of the Jim Crow era. A Chicago-area school district is attempting to boost academic achievement among black and Latino students by offering blacks-only and Latino-only classes. The segregated classes are called “affinity” classes, and they aim to reduce the so-called “academic achievement gap” by making black and Latino students feel more comfortable in class.
As Evanston, Ill. School Board Vice President Monique Parsons described the problem this month, “Our black students are, for lack of a better word … at the bottom, consistently still. And they are being outperformed consistently.” Evanston could have offered extra tutoring, parent engagement programs, or similar interventions. Instead, they offered special black-only classes taught by black teachers, on the theory that black students would learn better without white peers around.
How To Fix Our Broken Culture
- By Star Parker
Recently published projections for the U.S. population from the U.S. Census Bureau present a picture that should concern every American.
It's a snapshot of a dying society. It's surprising and shocking that it's not getting more attention.
The Census Bureau projects that the U.S. population will stop growing toward the end of the century. After peaking at 370 million in 2080, it will drop to 366 million in 2100, less than 10% higher than where it stood in 2022.
Religious Freedom Victory -- U.S. Capitol Tree Removes Ban on Ornaments Displaying 'Religious Symbols' from Being Displayed on the 2023 Tree
- By Christian Defense Coalition
WASHINGTON -- In past years, the guidelines for submitting ornaments to be displayed on the U.S. Capitol Christmas included the phrase; "Decorations cannot include religious symbols."
That meant ornaments which included; Nativity Displays, the Christ-Child or the Holy Family would be prohibited.
This year, the prohibition on religious symbols from being displayed on U.S. Capitol Tree has been removed from the 2023 ornament guidelines. See link:https://www.uscapitolchristmastree.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/230329_MakeAnOrnament-Flyer.pdf
What is the Evolutionist Perspective on Natural Phenomenon?
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
An evolutionary perspective on natural phenomenon is essentially that only natural phenomenon exists. This is an inherently atheistic view of reality that throws out much of what is described in the Bible before ever looking at any evidence. By its very nature, this view of reality excludes from consideration such events as Creation and the Genesis Flood. Even a more subtle perspective such as intelligent design cannot be considered because ultimately the intelligent designer has to be beyond nature it has to be excluded if you only accept natural phenomena.
Eagles in Action
- By Anne Schlafly, Eagle Forum Chairman
Eagle Forum gets things done! This year, we are very proud of our work on H.R. 2, which is an immigration bill with real border security that passed the House of Representatives. Because of grassroots pressure, the Republicans were able to unite and defend our sovereignty and our borders!
Conservatives do have a strong voice on Capitol Hill and we can achieve our goals. This year proved that a small number of activists can win. We won the fight for Speaker of the House — not once, but twice, by holding the line to conservative values. We stood with the brave Senator Tommy Tuberville, who is fighting for the unborn and the rule of law. Senator Tuberville shows the power of one person's commitment and character and Eagle Forum is proud to stand with Tommy. In this past year, Eagle Forum president, Kris Ullman, has written Letters to the Editor in support of Senator Tuberville that were printed in the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post, two of the largest papers in the country.
Israel, Hamas Trade Prisoners, Extend Ceasefire
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
Israel and Hamas agreed to a four-day ceasefire which began Friday, during which Israel has agreed to release three Palestinian prisoners for every Israeli hostage freed. As of early Monday morning, Islamist terrorists based in Gaza had released 58 hostages, including 39 Israelis, while Israel had freed 117 Palestinians. Despite alleged and real violations of the ceasefire, the combatants agreed Monday to extend the ceasefire for two more days.
Calls for a pause in fighting began immediately after Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on October 7, killing more than 1,200 Israelis, wounding more than 5,000, and kidnapping more than 240 hostages. Hamas militants directly targeted civilians, including elderly women, children, and even babies; they burned, raped, murdered, and committed unspeakable acts of brutality. In context, early calls for a ceasefire — after Hamas finished shooting but before Israel began — implicitly denied that Israel had a right to defend itself, and therefore a right to exist as a sovereign nation.
Shattering Palestinian Political Myths
- By Mike Scruggs
Truth versus Palestinian Propaganda
Four major political myths govern most Palestinian propaganda justifying Jihad against Israel and the Jews.
Jihad is Arabic for “struggle” and in Islamic theology primarily means Holy War against all unbelievers to establish the supremacy of Muslims, Islam, and Islamic Law over them. Jihad is a major Islamic doctrine and accounts for over 31 percent of the text of the three most holy and revered foundational documents of Islam: the Quran, Hadith, and Sira. The Hadith are the collections of Muhammad’s sayings , and the Sira is the collection of Muhammad’s actions and biography. Sharia (Islamic Law) derives from these three. Winston Churchill often referred to Islam as Mohammedanism, because the Quran allegedly came from Allah through the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad, and the Hadith and Sira (together called the Sunna) are the traditions and teachings of Muhammad. Muhammad is therefore the supreme prophetic source of Islam and knowledge of Allah. Jihad is obligatory duty for all who are able to participate.
Earth – The Real Red Planet
- By W.H. Lamb
“None are more hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.” - Johann Von Goethe (1749-1832)
Yes, I know. Mars is called the “Red Planet”. Over the past few decades we’ve seen some phenomenal pictures from the various NASA “Vikings”, “Mariners”, “Pathfinders”, and “Rovers”, those intrepid little explorers who send back great panoramas and detailed photos of Mars over 200 million miles or more back to Earth. As Mr. Spock from Star Trek might comment: “Fascinating”! But when I observe the “color” of Planet Earth, normally called the “blue planet”, I’m referring to the “color” of its prevailing political structures, which are heavily skewed to the collectivist/socialist and destructive to freedom leftist hue---RED (the despicable socialist commies are not generically referred to as “blues”, are they?)
Act Now to Keep Democrats from Gutting Life and Parental Protections from Defense Bill
- By Eagle Forum
The Biden Administration is funding abortion travel in the military, and our elected Representatives can stop it. The new Department of Defense (DoD) policy is a flagrant disregard for long-standing federal law that prohibits taxpayer funding of abortions. Since the beginning of this year, Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has used a procedural tool to object to military promotions by unanimous consent until the Defense Department reverses its policy to pay travel expenses and time off (up to three weeks) for military personnel and their families who go out of state to obtain abortions.

Dems Have Now Officially Rejected President John F. Kennedy's Legacy
- By Stephen Moore
There's a political cartoon going around that shows John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy sitting on a couch watching a speech by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The two hold their palms to their heads and moan that their legacy is being twisted and ruined.
This has the situation completely backward. It isn't RFK Jr. who is rejecting the Kennedy brothers' legacy, but President Joe Biden and the modern-day Democrats.
It's been said many times -- and it happens to be true -- that if JFK were alive today and he were espousing the ideas of his 1,000-day presidency, he would be a Republican. JFK was a staunch Cold War anti-communist/socialist. He espoused lower tax rates, was pro-life, served our country in uniform valiantly, was patriotic, was a hawk on protecting First Amendment civil liberties, and he and his brother, who served as attorney general, took on union and government corruption.
A Thanksgiving Lesson From Grateful and Prepared American Families
- By Veronique de Rugy
Most Americans meticulously plan their Thanksgiving meals and travel, sometimes budgeting months in advance to celebrate at a reasonable price tag. This prudent embodiment of both gratitude and restraint starkly contrasts with the approach of our politicians. It's an inconsistency that, especially this season, merits reflection.
The national debt, much like our Thanksgiving appetites, has swelled to gargantuan proportions. Budget gluttony practically defies the laws of fiscal gravity. In 2023, we reached a record $33 trillion in national debt and a $1.7 trillion deficit. Politicians have opted for the equivalent of year-round sumptuous feasts while ignoring the costs.
Setting the Agenda for Freedom's Comeback
- By Tom DeWeese - American Policy Center
For more than 100 years the free market economy of the United States has been used to prop up the failures of socialism throughout the world. Over-taxed Americans have been forced to pay for it through foreign aid schemes and leftist pretend charity cartels. Armed with plundered American capital, global looters have had free rein to pillage some of the naturally richest nations in the world, now destroyed by socialism. Yet, all the while the socialists were gleefully accepting the cash to finance their failures, Americans were derided for being so rich. Now, many see America as the last source of funds for the plunder. When the lights go out in America’s once shining abundance of freedom and riches, what will these locusts have left but darkness?
