Topic: Paganism Threatens America as Founded. America was founded as one nation under God. The essence of the American experiment is self-rule under God. For example, in the Declaration of Independence, the framers said our rights come from the Creator and we have our government by “the consent of the governed.” But lately, we have […]

Topic: Celebrating America at 250. We are less than a year away from the big celebration of America at 250. On July 4th, 2026, the nation will celebrate the 250th birthday of the Declaration of Independence, our nation’s birth certificate.

Topic: False Attacks on Charlie Kirk’s Legacy The founders of America valued free speech and acknowledged freedom of religion and freedom of speech in the First Amendment to the Constitution.
