America, Not Charlie Kirk, Is Reaping the Whirlwind for a Godless Drift

We must speak truth with conviction, but also with love that disarms hatred.

Antonio Gramsci, the Marxist writer. He is credited with the theory of “cultural hegemony” that advocates for changing society through academia, the media, and the culture.

“When will it end?”

That was the question a legacy media commentator asked after conservative talk show host and thought leader Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University. Another lamented, “Is this how we solve our political differences in America?” From the shattered stained glass of Annunciation Catholic School to the crowded fields of Butler County, Pennsylvania, the heartbreaking answer is too often yes.

And yet evil, whether it slinks across a rooftop or slams into twin skyscrapers, is not new. Two thousand years ago, the prophet Hosea watched his own nation, awash in idolatry, turn its back on God and declared a warning from the Lord, “For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind …Continue reading

A New World Order Isn’t Coming, It’s Already Here − and This Is What It Looks Like!

On Sept. 3, 2025, China celebrated the 80th anniversary of its victory over Japan by staging a carefully choreographed event in which 26 world leaders were offered a podium view of Beijing’s impressive military might.

The show of strength was deliberate and reignited a debate in Western media over whether we are on the cusp of a China-centric “new world order” to replace the U.S.-dominated international “rules-based order.”

But as someone who writes about geopolitics, I believe we are already there. It might be in flux, and the U.S. still has a big role in it, but a new world order has begun – and as it develops, it will look increasingly different than what it’s replacing. Continue reading

Emails Show Dr. Fauci Ordered Documents Destroyed and Lied to Congress, Sen. Rand Paul Says

Sen. Rand Paul is calling for Dr. Anthony Fauci to reappear before Congress after emails were uncovered that contradict his testimony to lawmakers.

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee obtained documents showing that Dr. Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, directed NIH employees to destroy records.

These documents suggest your direct involvement in efforts to conceal information related to the Committee’s investigation and appear to contradict your previous testimony before Congress,” Mr. Paul, Kentucky Republican, said in a letter Tuesday to Dr. Fauci. Continue reading

How Charlie Kirk Challenged and Inspired a Generation of Rising Political Influencers

Kirk centered his conservative movement around engaging young minds in political debate and raising up new voices.

By the time he set off on his final campus speaking tour, Charlie Kirk had built an organization of some 250,000 members, all the while engaging in conservative political organizing, engineering get-out-the-vote efforts, drawing tens of millions of dollars in funding, and growing a media influence machine.

A driving force behind Kirk’s movement, Turning Point USA, has been his focus on engaging young minds in political debate and setting an example for new generations of political influencers like himself.

Through this mission, Kirk often found himself on a college campus, delivering a speech or sitting down with a table and a microphone and defying his critics with the prompt “prove me wrong,” even in the face of insults and threats.

He continued this mission until the very end. Continue reading

Nation’s Latest Report Card Teaches a Clear Lesson

A strategist working to restore schools from harmful agendas isn’t surprised that federal spending didn’t improve kids’ math and reading scores.

12th graders’ scores dropped to their lowest level in more than 20 years, according to the National Assessment of Education Progress. Eighth-grade students also lost significant ground in science skills.

The assessments were the first since the pandemic, and the Associated Press says they “reflect a downward drift across grade levels and subject areas.” Continue reading

Garrison: Charlie Kirk, American Martyr

“Jesus defeated death, so you can live.”

This was one of Charlie Kirk’s last posts on X. Like his Savior, Kirk was an exceptional influencer who exemplified grace, love, and understanding. For this, the left had him assassinated. We don’t know who did it, but it looked like a professional job and many socialist Democrats were celebrating. Some of their posts were reprehensible and I won’t repeat them here. Continue reading

Hickman: Some Clear Thinking on Charlie Kirk’s Shocking Assassination

Like a lot of people, I first came across Charlie Kirk when YouTube’s algorithm started showing me short clips of him dismantling woke Leftists at university campuses.

Kirk used politeness combined with simple logic and reason to demonstrate what we all already knew: the Left has no idea what they’re talking about!  Continue reading

Honoring 9/11 by Fixing America’s Immigration Laws

Twenty-four years ago, America awoke to the most horrific attack on our homeland since Pearl Harbor. A cloudless blue September morning was ripped apart by fire and steel, as two hijacked airliners slammed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. In New York, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, firemen and police officers — all perished as the towers collapsed in fire and smoke. In Washington, the Pentagon burned after another jet crashed into its western wall. And in the skies above Pennsylvania, ordinary Americans on Flight 93 fought back, sacrificing their own lives to stop a fourth attack. Continue reading

Whitehead ~ How Tyranny Becomes Entrenched: 9/11 and the Police State’s Endless Power Grabs

The Morning of 9/11, 2001

“The greatest tyrannies are always perpetuated in the name of the noblest causes.”Thomas Paine

* They said it was for safety.

* They said it was for order.

* They said it was for the good of the nation.

They always say it’s for something good… until it isn’t.

Smith: September 11th, 2001 and the Battle Between Civilizations – Islam Is Still America’s Enemy

To this day I still burn with rage as I recall the Islamic terrorist attack against America, with jets plowing into the Twin Trade Towers and setting in motion the horrific scene that followed. Many readers may not have even been born when the most heinous act in U.S. history unfolded on that fateful day of September 1st 2001, but for those of us who sat it in real time, whether on our television screens or the streets adjacent to the Towers, it was a scene that everyone who has ever loved America had seared into their mind and heart, as hot tears of grief and anger flowed down our faces.

At the Epicenter of the Fentanyl Crisis

West Virginia leads the nation in accidental drug overdose deaths despite a 40 percent decrease.

Michael Cole, Lauren’s father and founder of Lauren’s Wish, visits Lauren’s grave at Fletcher Cemetery in Cheat Neck, W. Va., on Aug. 13, 2025. Samira Bouaou/The Epoch Times

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The shadows lengthened as Michael Cole walked through the cemetery near sunset to his daughter’s grave, where he dropped to his knees and kissed the cool, dark stone of her marker.

Head bowed, his hands tenderly swept away bits of grass clinging to the headstone’s base, fingers lingering on shells and heart-shaped stones left as tribute to Lauren Cole’s life. She was 26. Continue reading

Smith: Freedom Delayed Is Freedom Denied

I have been carefully watching our nation evolve over the past two decades, as it has morphed into something unrecognizable, becoming more tyrannical with each passing day, month and year, regardless of whether or not it’s the Democratic Party or the Republican Party holding the reins of power.

And nothing much is changing under President Trump who has only succeeded in proving my assertions from 2016, that he is indeed a Big Spending, Big Government Dyed-in-the-Wool Old-Style Yellow Dog Democrat or simply a New York liberal without any core convictions, when it comes to Americans’ Inalienable God-given Rights and the Bill of Rights and defending them. Oh, he’ll certainly defend them for himself, when he is under attack, but he certainly doesn’t mind trampling on them for the rest of us, especially when there are trillions of dollars at stake.

Dickens: It’s Mediocrates in Merka…

“The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity.” ~ James Fenimore Cooper

“Meh… good enough…[Link]

Creating a culture of rewarding and celebrating conformity in being ordinary.

Unlike Socrates, Mediocrates is not a historically known individual but rather a satirical, fictional “god” or “philosopher” representing mediocrity and the pursuit of average intelligence or skill: Seek not to excel…

Mediocracy: a dominant class consisting of mediocre people, where mediocrity is celebrated and rewarded. Welcome to the herd.

Mediocre: of only ordinary or moderate quality; neither good nor bad; barely adequate.

The Socratic Method encourages argumentative and cooperative dialogue to stimulate critical thinking by posing questions and then responding to them, thereby eliciting ideas and information.

The Mediocratic Method accepts conventional wisdom without question. Continue reading

Slavo: Stanford University’s AI Job Warning

Stanford University has issued a chilling warning about the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs. The number of job opportunities for young professionals in AI-affected sectors across the United States has dropped by 13% over the past three years.

According to a report from the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, AI is going to reduce the number of jobs available to human beings, and has already done so. Continue reading

Marquardt ~ You’ll Own Nothing and Be Happy: Only if You’ve Had a Lobotomy or Been Educated in Today’s Schools

How many people do you know who still believe we have too much C02 on this earth?

How many people do you know who are letting their children being taught “sight words” to hinder their reading abilities.

How many people do you know who think fluoride is good for them?

How many people do you know who believe we must cease of all uses of fossil fuels and transit to only so-called Green energies that are destroying our land, water, and crops and killing us and other living creatures on this earth. Continue reading

Ross: the Paper Prison

I’m going to try to keep this as short as humanly possible, but I am not going to make any promises; I do get carried away sometimes. Before I get to the subject matter I wish to discuss, there is something I think I need to clarify. I call these things essays, but that’s not entirely accurate, the are opinion pieces; my opinion. I do not claim to be right, but I do my very best to provide sufficient evidence to support my opinion.

I have found that people do not want to read things that cause them to call into question their own opinions; they would rather read only those things that validate them. That, if you ask me, ensures that one will never grow; for if they refuse to question their own opinions, their own beliefs, then how will they ever know if they are based upon solid evidence; upon the truth?
