History's Hope
- By W.H. Lamb
Those of you who have read my columns in the now “extinct” print copy version of The Times Examiner know how much I love classical music. However, I also enjoy other genres of music, particularly the “Big Band” music of the 1930’s and 1940’s, Dixie Land jazz, the music of George Gershwin, the music of Sigmund Romberg and Rogers and Hammerstein from their great Broadway musicals over many years; and I adore the music of George M. Cohan, that “Yankee Doodle Dandy” who wrote hundreds of great songs for his musicals over the decades that stretched over the first half of the 20th century. And of course I love the music of the Christian Church, which is a musical genre all its own. All of these glorious melodies were written during “the good old days” when music was “musical”. Too bad that it isn’t so in our day and age.
Miseducated or Stupid?
- By Walter Williams
A recent Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation survey found that 51 percent of American millennials would rather live in a socialist or communist country than in a capitalist country. Only 42 percent prefer the latter (http://tinyurl.com/ybsejy3f). Twenty-five percent of millennials who know who Vladimir Lenin was view him favorably. Lenin was the first premier of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Half of millennials have never heard of Communist Mao Zedong, who ruled China from 1949 to 1959 and was responsible for the deaths of 45 million Chinese people.

A Home Education Fable
- By Ray Sheen
Fables tell us a story with a deeper meaning. Here is a home education fable.
Once upon a time there was a great kingdom. In this kingdom nearly everyone sought the will of God to do what was right. One of the principles followed by parents was to provide for the education and training of their children. In fact, they had a saying that when a parent trained up their children in the ways of the Lord, when the child was older, they would not depart from those ways.

President George H. W. Bush (June 12, 1924 – November 30, 2018)
- By Erick Erickson - The Resurgent
UN Ambassador, CIA Director, Vice President of the United States, and President of the United States
President George H. W. Bush has died. The 41st President of the United States and last World War II veteran to serve as President, had been in ill health for some time.
President Bush had one of the most impressive careers in modern Washington. He had been a member of the House of Representatives before becoming US Ambassador to the United Nations. He then served as Chairman of the Republican National Committee before being named as Liaison to China. That preceded becoming Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, then Vice President of the United States for eight years before being President for one term.

Savannah Riverkeeper & City of Augusta Install “Watergoat” Trash Traps
- By Press Release
Augusta, GA - The City of Augusta has a new method for curbing the amount of litter and plastic waste that reaches the Savannah River. With the help of Savannah Riverkeeper and the Bigwater Rescue Foundation, the city’s Engineering Department has secured and three “Watergoat” trash traps in local waterways notorious for debris from high traffic: Lake Olmstead, Rae’s Creek, and the Sibley Mill outfall of the Augusta Canal.

Ryan Casts Doubt on ‘Bizarre’ California Elections
- By GOP Presidential
Weeks after House Republicans lost their majority, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Thursday cast serious doubts about the “bizarre” election system in California, where it appears that seven GOP-held seats will flip to Democratic control.
The California election system “just defies logic to me,” Ryan said during a Washington Post event.

President Trump has fulfilled a promise, which many said couldn’t be done, to renegotiate NAFTA and improve the standing of the entire American economy, including the agriculture sector.
Racism -- It's Everywhere! It's Everywhere!
- By David Limbaugh
It's sobering how much race dominates the public discourse today. But as long as we're discussing stereotypes, we should note that leftists and elites are the ones obsessed with race, not the flyover Neanderthals to whom they impute this evil. Give it a rest, eggheads.
Leftists can scarcely discuss any issue without injecting this toxicity. They imagine it everywhere -- the ubiquitous boogeyman that validates their perpetual vilification of conservatives. (Note: I considered using "white men" instead of "conservatives" in the preceding sentence but realized it would be unwise because A) as a possessor and unwitting purveyor of white privilege, I'm not allowed to opine publicly on these matters and B) though race-baiting elites pretend white privilege is the culprit, neither women nor African-Americans are exempt from the taint if they are political conservatives.)
The Boxification of God’s People
- By Ben Graydon
When Jesus told Peter, “You, Peter, are but a little pebble, and upon the bedrock foundation of Myself I will build My ecclesia,” He used a term – ecclesia – that was known in the Roman-ruled world as the institution by which the ideas and values of the Roman empire were carried to and extended throughout the world. Whenever two or more Roman citizens were gathered in one place, Roman ecclesia was present – the authority of the Roman emperor himself was there with them. So Peter knew exactly what Jesus was saying when He spoke of HIS ecclesia. And Jesus was saying that it would be His work – a work of God and not of men.
Is Putin the Provocateur in the Kerch Crisis?
- By Pat Buchanan
On departure for the G-20 gathering in Buenos Aires, President Donald Trump canceled his planned weekend meeting with Vladimir Putin, citing as his reason the Russian military's seizure and holding of three Ukrainian ships and 24 sailors.
But was Putin really the provocateur in Sunday's naval clash outside Kerch Strait, the Black Sea gateway to the Sea of Azov?
Or was the provocateur Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko?

Charleston Earned the #5, Columbia #6 and Greenville #7 as the Cheapest US Metros to have a Baby
- By Lillian K. Ansley
Charleston earned the #5, Columbia #6 and Greenville #7 as the cheapest US Metros to have a baby. As far as state rankings are concerned, South Carolina comes in at #8.
Everyone knows that having a baby is incredibly expensive, from delivery or adoption costs to outfitting a household with strollers, bottles, cribs and layettes. But even if friends and family come together to provide everything needed on day one, there are ongoing costs of raising a child. So how much should a typical couple expect to budget each month?
The Cheat Is On
- By Tony Perkins
You've got to hand it to Democrats. Instead of committing voter fraud, they've got a better idea -- making it legal! And judging by this midterm's House races, the strategy finally paid off.
In places like California, the GOP sat in stunned disbelief as their double-digit leads evaporated like a puff of smoke on election night. Seats in reliably-Republican areas like Orange County vanished in races that, days before, weren't even close. Candidates like Young Kim, one of the shoe-ins heading into Tuesday, watched Democrats chip away at her lead in a cloud of provisional ballot-counting. A week later, she lost. By that point, the questions were already swirling. What happened? And how had pollsters gotten California so wrong?
