Government School Funding Nears $1 Trillion as Student Scores Continue to Plummet
- Details
- By USPIE

Government schools in America received a collective $946.5 billion in local, state and federal funding in 2023, according to the Reason Foundation.
The breakdown includes local ($403.4 billion), state ($422.8 billion) and federal ($120.3 billion), the Reason Foundation’s K-12 Spending Spotlight 2025 said.
New York had the highest per-student budget at $36,976, followed by New Jersey at $30,267 per student. Idaho spent the least at $11,937.
Just under $1 trillion is a lot of taxpayer money to indoctrinate our children to hate themselves and our country while failing at their real mission to teach kids to read, write and do math.

The Fake Women’s War against Mike Johnson

- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand

House Republicans are a baffling group to watch. Here they are, under the gun on health care subsidies, appropriations, the must-pass defense bill, and a basket full of other crises pressing in on them before the clock strikes Christmas, and what are their loudest voices doing? Attacking leadership. While the precious minutes tick down on a to-do list that rivals Santa’s, a group of angry GOP women aren’t putting their heads down, uniting, and racing to solve the problems weighing down Congress, they’re slinging arrows at House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) — and then complaining that the GOP isn’t getting anything done. Grab a dictionary, look up the word “counterproductive,” and you’ll understand exactly what the speaker is dealing with.
Operation Rescue’s 2025 Annual Survey Offers Ground-Level View of the Abortion Cartel – Hard-Hitting Data You Can’t Find Anywhere Else
- Details
- By Operation Rescue
WICHITA, Kan. — Operation Rescue just dropped its 2025 Annual Survey, a unique report that provides a broad understanding of abortion in America and equips pro-life advocates with hard-won data to dispel the abortion lobby’s highly coordinated talking points.
The Abortion Cartel has seen record losses this year, but also some alarming trends, especially in the Virtual Back-Alley and chemical abortions. Operation Rescue has documented all of them and offers keen insights and analysis of the post-Roe abortion landscape in 2025.
Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, says, “Operation Rescue stands alone as the only organization — whether pro-life or pro-abortion — that systematically tracks vital data on America’s abortion clinics. We document closures and openings, procedure costs, gestational limits, and a wide range of emerging trends across the abortion industry. No other group provides such an in-depth, ground-level view of the Abortion Cartel and the way it truly operates.”

LAS CRUSES, N.M. — As the new Chief Operating Officer of Southwest Coalition for Life, Mayra Rodiguez is advancing a new model for the future of serving pregnant mothers. After exposing Planned Parenthood’s deceit of women and achieving a landmark victory over the abortion giant in court, Rodriguez is now a champion for authentic women’s health.
“From the heart of Mexico City to the corridors of women’s healthcare in the United States, my journey has always been about serving women,” shared Rodriguez, who once ran three Planned Parenthood centers and will now lead a network of pro-life birthing centers committed to celebrating motherhood and protecting life. “The opposite of abortion isn’t just saying ‘no.’ It’s saying ‘yes’ to birthing centers that empower and uplift women and their families. It’s a joy to help women turn from potential harm and pain into a journey of hope and healing.”
