Ballot-Blocking by States - Blue Versus Trump and Red Versus Biden
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
In a truly federal structure, any constituent member — whether a state or province or canton or whatever -- has the constitutional right — rooted ultimately in the sacred right of self-preservation and self-protection -- to block or to bar from the election ballot candidates it deems inimical to its interests.
This fundamental political right -- once clear and universally understood in America — is now unclear because, in the 1860s — by force of arms rather than by voluntary consent — the United States stopped being a free republic and became instead a centralized and consolidated "indivisible" empire.

Should There Be a Trump Litmus Test?
- By Nate Leupp, Chairman of the 4th Congressional District
On July 19, 2016, I was proud to cast my vote as one of South Carolina’s 50 delegates to the Republican National Convention, 1 of 4 delegates from Greenville County, and 1 of 2,472 from across America and our territories, to officially make Donald J. Trump our party’s nominee. Since that time, the conversation surrounding many of our candidates and grassroots activists is not who they are or what they stand for, but a fight to prove who is “more Trump.” In attempting to prove who is more Trump, the argument really isn’t which candidate is the most like him in personality or principles but has become simply who supports him the most and when they started supporting him.
In the past few primaries in South Carolina, we have seen this used as a campaign strategy at all levels. U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham would not be considered a “Trump Republican” by friend or foe, but has become a strong ally of President Trump, publicly endorsing him, and receiving his endorsement in return. While Sen. Graham strongly supports many aspects of President Trump’s agenda, his campaign message was not that he was like Trump or he shares an identical agenda, but simply that he supports Trump.

Vietnam War Statistics
- By Mike Scruggs
Truth versus Propaganda
A few days before Christmas, the Atlanta Vietnam Veterans Business Association (AVVBA) released its new 47-minute video on The Truths and Myths of the Vietnam War. A few days later the AVVBA sent me an excellent collection of statistics on those who served in the war, including their present adjustment to American society.
As I wrote in my book, Lessons from the Vietnam War: Truths the Media Never Told You, and emphasized in an interview that became part of the video, the Vietnam War was a two-front war. There was military action going on in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and offshore, and there was a propaganda war going on in the United States to influence public opinion against resisting what was essentially a Soviet financed and sponsored North Vietnamese subversion and invasion of South Vietnam. The U.S. and other SEATO (Southeast Asia Treaty Organization) members were bound by the 1955 Paris Peace Treaty ending the French-Indochina War to defend South Vietnam, Laos, and if required, Cambodia, from further Communist aggression.

CIVILIZATION’S INTERREGNUM – Part 7
- By W.H. Lamb
THE NATIONALITY WARS (CA. 2170 A.D.—CA. 2310 A.D.)
NOTE: The first six parts of this continuing story can be read by going to timesexaminer.com, and clicking on my name: W. H. LAMB, under “local columnists”, and scrolling down to Parts 1 through 6. I remind you that these are only “conjectural” stories of a possible future.
---------------------
(A continuation of a lecture by a fictional “history professor” to a class of young adults, sometime in the 32nd century.)
“We concluded our last session detailing the splitting apart of the original Old United States into several smaller countries, and the rise and fall of what was the most successful of those smaller countries—The Confederated Republics of America. This session will deal with what many historians call the beginning of the end of civilization on the Great Northern Continent. Similar evils were perpetrated on the Great Southern Continent during this time also, but we’ll limit the scope of this delving into man’s evil nature just to the GNC and to Euro.

Three Economic Myths to Put To Rest This Year
- By Veronique de Rugy
As a new year dawns, it's customary to reflect on the past and set resolutions for the future. This year, let's resolve to greet three widespread claims with healthy doses of skepticism.
The first dubious claim is that income inequality in the United States has inexorably risen since the 1960s. It's a scary narrative heavily bolstered by the work of three French economists: Thomas Piketty, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman. According to these researchers, the situation was fueled mostly by tax cuts for top income earners during the Reagan administration. Their proposed remedy, not surprisingly, is a sky-high, French-like level of taxation.

Is There Any Evidence for Biblical Creation Part 2
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Before diving into actual evidence for Biblical creation and the Genesis Flood, it is necessary to discuss the differences between how creationists and evolutionists see evidence. These differences result from fundamental differences in the worldview behind the position. Creationists start with God, the Bible, and the implications of God as the intelligent designer and creator of the world and all that is in it. Evolutions, on the other hand, look at evidence from what is essentially an atheistic naturalistic materialistic perspective. While many evolutionists also believe in God, they still look at the evidence from this perspective. If they see any role for Him at all, it is little more than a guiding force. However, it is these differences that explain much of the disagreement between how creationists and evolutionists see evidence.

Startling Surprises in Latest Census Numbers
- By Michael Barone
How's America doing? Government statisticians provide mounds of data that provide useful clues, and none more so than the Census Bureau's estimates of population, announced in the holiday weeks at the end of each calendar year. The latest numbers measure the estimated population of each state as of last July 1 as compared to the constitutionally required decennial census dated April 1, 2020.
These dates thus cover 39 months, almost exactly one-third of a decade, and in this case, date from the imposition of COVID lockdowns. They have the advantage of covering a unique period, and the disadvantage is that there is some doubt about the accuracy of the April 2020 census.
