A couple of years ago a friend of mine with Tennessee Tax Revolt sent me article which, I will have to admit, did not shock me… since my own wife worked as a teacher at a system in West Tennessee, she kept me well informed of the free lunch and breakfast programs and the participation level in both....
We know that we ave passed from death to life, because we LOVE our brothers. Anyone who does not LOVE remains in death. - 1 John 3:14 “It’s not worth getting angry about!” This may have been the line that sank the largest Gladiator to ever run for the Republican nomination. This came from...
There was found an irrational fear of imaginary Witches, now we have irrational fear of propagandized terrorists. (911, preemptive wars) Then torture was used to extract confessions, now “enhanced interrogation”( torture) is used to extract confessions (Patriot Acts).

A Wisconsin school superintendent may be rethinking how he dealt with a student who wrote a school newspaper article condemning homosexuality as sinful. As part of an assignment for his journalism class, which is responsible for producing the school newspaper, 15-year-old Shawano High Schoolstudent Brandon Wegner contributed half of a pro-con editorial feature on...
I felt compelled to outline why we aren’t really free in this country. Some of these things may make you angry, but that’s a better emotion than apathy and complacency. Goethe once said that the perfect slave thinks he’s free, and Americans are mostly slaves, and don’t even know it. Rather than be overwhelmed...
Last weekend, Republican voters in South Carolina picked the candidate they want to be the GOP standard bearer for the November elections: Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich? Really? What did I miss?

This is news to me – “Callista, is artistic and plays the French horn”. In every appearance I’ve seen this woman I have yet to see that blonde helmet she wear move. I thought she was a team member for either a football or ice hockey team and that blonde helmet on her head...
Their “capitalism” equals “Western styled capitalism” as the CA openly acknowledges in this article. But the Big Lie is in what they fail to say, that “Western styled capitalism” is not the publicly presumed “free-market” or “competitive capitalism“ kind but, instead, one and the same as its perverted nemesis, monopoly capitalism (of the oligopoly...

Remember Sheriff Richard Mack? Back in the 1990s, as an elected Sheriff of Graham County, Arizona, he took the Clinton administration to the Supreme Court over the Brady Bill.

By Joel Hilliker Columnist The Trumpet Weekly Why does it seem that the only time the American government expresses shock, dismay and horror, it is over the conduct of its soldiers on the battlefield? Through the Prophet Isaiah, God calls America a “hypocritical nation.” It’s at times like these that it becomes clear why....
Special thanks to CNN and its choice of beginning questions to the last debate in Charleston, SC, Newt Gingrich’s back-from-the-grave performance in South Carolina now propels him, revived and renewed, to Florida. There the kinetic Republican presidential race will no doubt serve up further jolts, twists, turns and dips worthy of the Magic Kingdom. The...
The various signs that identify end times in the Bible are sometimes likened to contractions experienced by a mother during childbirth and up to delivery, in that they become more frequent and increasingly intense. As this is a human experience unchanged throughout history, it makes for a timeless analogy, which scripture aptly does. In...
Publishers Note: I have been a little unfair to Jackie over the past couple of weeks. She has been working hard to supply the site with more information and articles than any 10 combined.

Texas Gives Women a Choice, Planned Parenthood Goes Apoplectic The basic components of a choice are easiest understood as a selection of one option out of the two or more options that are presented at any given time.

Once again I urge people to read “THE FRANKLIN COVERUP” – to see how the sexual abuse and misuse of our youth is many times operated and/or protected by the very people who are charged with dealing with it. The complicity of the FBI, the CIA, the COURTS, and the various levels of Police...

We were taught, sometime in our childhood, that there are three hundred sixty five days in a year, except leap years, which contain three hundred sixty six. That was not at all deceptive, given that we understood the concept of three digit integers. When we learned fractions, the number was adjusted to 365 and...
By Gordon Bishop On The Issues I’m a Tea Party Patriot — and proud of it! In one direction (our current one) lies a collapsed dollar, a bankrupt federal government, federal tyranny — and a ruined economy. You can thank the Democrat Party and liberal leaders for this horrific condition we find ourselves today....

I received news this afternoon of the endorsement of Mitt Romney by Tennessee Governor Bill Haslem via the Republican gossip wing. I can’t say that I was particularly surprised by the Haslem going out on a limb, it’s just I would have thought now that he, already having been elected governor, would have given up lying…. Romney...

If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you. If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes....
