God established America with a purpose in mind - to have the prophetic scenario of God's Word come to fulfillment. But the United States is not mentioned in Bible prophecy. Since America is not mentioned in Bible prophecy, we must ask a question - How does America disappear?

A resounding question asked by many today is, “Where is America in Biblical prophecy?” The simple answer is that our nation will still exist during the Great Tribulation period, but our military power and socio-economic position will have been diminished to the level of a godless, base nation. For many years this was a hard reality for many American believers to grasp because in many ways it was so hard to see! But by faith in God's Word, we knew it must be! Joe Biden in my opinion is the demonic stage setter for the Anti-Christ who is to come...

There is no question that the left aims at changing America in the worst possible way but their efforts would go largely unnoticed if it not for a sympathetic and like-minded media The United States of America is by far the most powerful nation on planet earth spending about as much on defense as the entire rest of the world. According to a report on globalization from Credit Suisse, the US has maintained its position as the world’s strongest military. As an example, although Russia has the most substantial number of tanks approx. 15,000 with the US coming in at...

Sitting out the decision is not an option The decision to vote, and for whom to vote, in this 2016 presidential election can be summed up in three ways. First, to not vote is not an option in my view. Rev. Dr. C. M. Alexander, pastor of Antioch Baptist Church North in Atlanta, gave the most compelling and succinct reason to vote. Namely, if you view this presidential election as voting for the lesser of two evils, don’t commit the third evil by not voting.

Behind Wal-Mart, the second-largest employer in America is Kelly Services, a temporary work provider.... It's a sad state of affairs for our country. While part-time and temp jobs reached highs last month, full-time jobs decreased by another 240,000. The recovery, or lack thereof, is being fueled by a shift from full-time to part-time work.

According to Camarota and Zeigler: A new analysis of government data shows that all of the net gain in employment over the last 13 years has gone to immigrants (legal and illegal). From the first quarter of 2000 to the first quarter of 2013, the number of natives working actually fell by 1.3 million while the overall size of the working-age (16 to 65) native population increased by 16.4 million. Over the same time period, the number of immigrants working (legal and illegal) increased by 5.3 million. In addition to the decline in the number of natives working, there has...

Recently circulated news stories charging that federal employees are grossly overpaid — allegedly earning more than twice their private industry counterparts — are based on “a flawed reading of statistical data,” according to Sen. Ted Kaufman (D-Del.). In a Sept. 15 speech, Kaufman disputed a USA Today article purporting that federal workers’ pay dramatically outstrips that of their private-sector counterparts. The newspaper’s analysis, which was based on Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) data, concluded that, in 2009, federal employees received an average total compensation in pay and benefits of $123,049, while private sector workers made $61,051. The newspaper’s analysis did...

Let's face it, funerals are expensive and so is cemetery space, which is not always available. Cremation was thought to address costs and space, but even cremation has it's down side. Studies have shown cremation releases micro pollutants into the air as well as consuming a lot of BTU's. Surely there must be another way, a better way, right? Yes, finally there is another way - cremation is out and compaction is in. That's right, compaction folks. You wonder why somebody hasn't thought of this before. It's environmentally safe and compaction uses only a fraction of the energy in...

Return to the Article June 15, 2009Sarah Palin, the 21st Century 'It' GirlBy Jay Valentine The best and the brightest on the left go into politics.  The best on the right run their own businesses.  So it is no surprise that the left is far more adept, even expert at the art of hardball politics.  And they are telling us something profound. The left is telling us something many feel, many find as a hunch, that Sarah Palin is the most dangerous threat to the Obama administration with no close second.  The left is telling us this by their ...

President Barack Obama is, by far, the most popular politician in America. And there is little doubt who is No. 2. (snip) That many liberals found Mr. Letterman's remarks humorous speaks not only to their depravity, but to their fear. The 20,000 who turned out to see Ms. Palin in Auburn testify to the fact that she strikes a responsive chord with ordinary people no other Republican does. Liberals and some Beltway conservatives assert Ms. Palin is stupid. She frequently is misquoted -- most recently by Dan Balz in The Washington Post Wednesday -- to make her appear so. But...

In just one week in July we have been lucidly reminded that the war on terror is alive and well. The question is: Will we turn a blind eye to the evidence or seek to prevent a repeat of summer 2001, when we were given signs of a clear and present danger before Sept. 11? "Reminiscent Of…The Summer Of 2001"The London Telegraph noted that "Britain is a centre of intense plotting and faces a terrorist threat of 'unprecedented scale, ambition and ruthlessness'." The former director general of the United Kingdom's Security System, MI5, Dame Eliza, gave a forthright warning, "It...

Howard Dean: You can take this finger and shove it. * * * In yesterday's speech at a liberal cattle call DNC Chairman Howard Dean accused Republicans of failing to earn an "honest living": Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean yesterday said many Republicans don't make an "honest living" -- the sharpest barb in a campaign-style speech to a conference of liberal activists. Speaking to the Campaign for America's Future, Mr. Dean called for easier rules for voting, saying it is difficult for working parents to make it to the polls on time and wait to vote. "Well, Republicans,...

One Person Does Make A Difference By Kevin Fobbs April 11, 2005 "We are confronted primarily with a moral issue. It is as old as the Scriptures and as clear as the American Constitution, "President John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address. The moral clarity of President Kennedy's statement speaks to us today just as concisely as it did 44 years ago. President Kennedy was calling upon the better Angels amongst us to understand and respect the need for equality and the value that each human life in our nation had as part of the collective of the whole of our society....

This letter describes my perspective on jobs and taxes as they relate to the upcoming Presidential election. Point 1: The entrepreneurial spirit of this capitalistic society is fundamental to the long-term success of free enterprise. American entrepreneurs, not the government, must drive the need for specific types of jobs. Too much intervention by the government will lead us to socialism. Socialism did not stand the test of time for communism, Marxism, Leninism, or Maoism, and I do not wish it for my heirs or the future of the United States of America. Point 2: The days of an isolated American...

Despite the endless blathering and squirming to the contrary on the part of Wired Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, the Cato Institute and other institutions that normally proclaim the truth of free-market economics, the Law of Supply and Demand applies to labor as much as to any other thing that is bought and sold. That is to say, if one increases the supply of labor relative to demand, its price will fall. That price is your salary, friend. And mass immigration is inexorably driving it down. Well, maybe not your salary personally, if you are lucky enough to work in...
