[New York, 3 October 1789]
By the President of the United States of America. a Proclamation.
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor—and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be—That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks—for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation—for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted—for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions—to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually—to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed—to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord—To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us—and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand at the City of New-York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

Appeals Court Allows Louisiana To Post Ten Commandments
In June 2024, Louisiana enacted House Bill 71 which requires all K-12 public schools and state-funded universities to display at least an 11-inch by 14-inch poster of the Ten Commandments. The displays must have a four-paragraph “context statement” describing the history of the Ten Commandments and how they “were a prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries.”
However, a multifaith group of nine families, consisting of Jewish, Christian, Unitarian Universalist, and nonreligious parents represented by the ACLU, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and Americans United for Separation of Church and State, have challenged the law alleging the state is endorsing a specific religion.
Louisiana officials defended the Ten Commandments law as constitutionally valid by arguing that it has a historical and educational purpose. They cite the Decalogue’s “historical role” in developing American law and education, which displayed alongside other historical documents, would be permissible under the First Amendment. Since HB 71 also required public school classrooms to display the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, and the Northwest Ordinance, the state’s legal team argued that the law’s intent is not to endorse a religion but to teach where America’s longstanding moral values in civic life originate.
Louisiana has considerable grounds for its appeal. Recent Supreme Court precedents show that displaying the Ten Commandments is not necessarily a religious endorsement. In American Legion v. American Humanists Association, the High Court wrote that the Ten Commandments “have historical significance as one of the foundations of our legal system” and represents a “common cultural heritage.” Then, in 2022, the cases of Shurtleff v. City of Boston and Kennedy v. Bremerton School District rejected and overruled the 1971 case of Lemon v. Kurtzman. The High Court replaced the “Lemon Test” by returning to a traditional First Amendment standard where courts must interpret the Establishment Clause by “reference to historical practices and understandings.”
Liberty Counsel’s Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “The Ten Commandments is a universally recognized symbol of law and has indelibly shaped the Western Legal Tradition and American government. There are more than 50 displays of the Ten Commandments inside and outside the United States Supreme Court. The Ten Commandments are ubiquitous and their central role in law and government pre-date the U.S. Constitution. With this injunction narrowed to only five school districts, the Ten Commandments will be displayed in nearly all Louisiana public schools.”

TAKE ACTION
Democrats lost by overly orchestrating anti-Trump efforts
Democrats lost by overly orchestrating anti-Trump efforts
Nancy Pelosi got blamed for top-down “orchestration,” but the Cabal was broader than that
Ken Reid
The primary reasons voters elected Donald Trump over Kamala Harris and chose a Republican Congress were Joe Biden and the Democrats’ miserable handling of the economy, immigration and foreign policy – and their embrace of far-left “woke” polices, like sex-change operations for prisoners and other “transgender rights.”
However, the Democrat “strategy” of hitting Trump with multiple indictments, tagging him and his supporters as “existential threats to democracy,” and scaring women over abortion rights after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision may also have backfired, because these efforts were really designed to deflect attention from the harmful impacts of Biden’s bad policies and actions.
Topping it off, when he was pushed off the ticket for Vice President Kamala Harris in July, many voters may have smelled a rat. In essence, all of this was masterminded by a few political chieftains, notably former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), House Whip James Clyburn (D-SC), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and probably the Obamas, Clintons and their “strategists.”
Indeed, on MSNBC November 9, former Harris spokesperson and one-time Bernie Sanders operative Symone Sanders-Townsend (no relation to the senator), mouthed off against Pelosi, saying she “orchestrated the very public demise of the president. And thank God for Joe Biden, that he came out and, yes, endorsed his VP. Pelosi is known for being “calculated,” she went on to say, but “where is her calculator now?”
The key words here are “orchestration” and “calculating.” One could say “None dare call it conspiracy,” or resurrect then-First Lady Hillary Clinton’s 1998 phrase “vast right-wing conspiracy” that “has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president.”
Ms. Clinton was denounced for calling it a “conspiracy.” In reality, a group of conservative activists and publications did continue an “opposition research” campaign against President Bill Clinton from the day he was elected in 1992, to persuade Congress and courts to investigate him, impeach him and undermine his presidency.
It didn’t really work. Like Donald Trump, Bill Clinton was impeached, but he resurrected himself, while Hillary went on to become a US Senator from New York and Secretary of State – and came close to defeating Trump for president in 2016.
The vast-left wing orchestration against Trump, however, was much more intricate, extensive and orchestrated than what conservatives used to tarnish Clinton. For example:
* Advancing the phony “Russiagate” scandal, at the highest levels of government
* Supporting and glorifying the “mostly peaceful” “Resistance” against the Trump presidency
* Instigating the 2019 House impeachment
* Demanding school and business lockdowns during the Covid pandemic, to hurt the economy and President Trump
* Supporting and capitalizing on the George Floyd riots
* Perpetuating “January 6” investigations, hearings, indictments and media coverage
* Promoting fear and hysteria following the Dobbs decision and various state limitations on abortion
* Pushing challengers out of the 2020 primaries to anoint Joe Biden (South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn’s “masterstroke”)
* Preventing a competitive 2024 primary against Biden
* Holding a Biden-Trump debate after primaries had ended, to see how President Biden would perform – and then forcing him off the ticket because he bombed
* Coronating Kamala Harris after Biden was ousted
Many are convinced that all these schemes were orchestrated by the Cabal of Pelosi, Schumer, the Obamas, the Clintons, and their strategists. Perhaps they wanted Biden to be the 2020 nominee, instead of independent-minded people like Senators Amy Klobuchar or Elizabeth Warren, or outsiders like Pete Buttigieg or Michael Bloomberg, because they knew they could manipulate Biden more easily.
However, Joe Biden was never a leader in the US Senate; he was a follower. He does little thinking for himself, but makes decisions based on the advice of bureaucrats, political aides and special interests. He largely approved all the big-spending legislation and regulatory initiatives the Democrats and his Obama-holdover aides wanted when they regained control of Congress after 2020. And he opened the nation’s borders to salve the bleeding hearts of his policy wonks.
“Joe Biden is nothing more than a Trojan horse for the radical socialists,” former Vice President Mike Pence warned in 2020. In the end, that radicalism doomed the Democrats in 2024.
In anointing Biden “The Nominee” during the 2020 primaries, octogenarians Clyburn and Pelosi looked over Biden’s eroding cognitive abilities. When he inevitably became a liability to the Democratic cause, they orchestrated his departure from the ticket for the younger Harris. They also engaged in incessant “lawfare,” Trump indictments and January-6 investigations.
Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich suggested the Democrats should have focused “on one or two” charges against Trump, not four, and the indictments “will backfire on the Left.” But The Cabal apparently wanted to extend the Trump-tarnishing so that there would be no trial before the GOP nominating process, thereby giving Republicans little opportunity to nominate someone else.
Prolonging the 1/6 congressional investigation into the 2022 elections was an effort to tarnish not just Trump, but his supporters. Biden’s unforgivable September 2022 speech in Philadelphia, when he attacked “MAGA Republicans” for being disloyal to America, was part and parcel of this effort
The media covered up the Cabal’s intrigues. Anyone who watches CNN or MSNBC has seen how Adam Schiff, Jamie Raskin, Pelosi, Clyburn and other leading Democrats are treated with kid gloves. The media hated Trump for calling them “fake news” and colluded with the Democrats nearly every step of the way.
It’s unlikely that Symone Sanders-Townsend will come clean on all of this, though our nation would benefit greatly from the disinfecting sunshine she could provide. Regardless, it seems highly unlikely that the Democrats can change their stripes, because their base and big donors have gone Loony-Left.
The Cabal probably thought throwing all those indictments and civil penalties at Trump would make him crack and cop a plea with the prosecutors. But Trump had the money and backbone to slug it out. He also had excellent lawyers, who mucked up the lawfare wheels. Essentially, he ran the clock out on the Democrats.
There’s a lesson here about being “overzealous” in politics. Jerome Lawrence coauthored the 1955 play (and 1960 film) “Inherit the Wind,” which examined extremism in “the Scopes monkey trial,” as a metaphor for the McCarthy investigations. Lawrence wrote: “Is it possible to be overzealous, to destroy that which you hope to save – so that nothing is left but emptiness?”
With Trump wining a near landslide despite the criminal cases – and taking the Congress – it seems all the Democrat orchestrations left them nothing but emptiness.

The Weekly Sam: HOME SCHOOLING AND THE EDUCATIONAL CRISIS by Samuel L. Blumenfeld
(This article was originally published in the late 1980s. Today, the homeschool movement is flourishing-Ed)
Home schooling is now the fastest growing educational phenomenon in the United States. For example, in April of this year, Massachusetts had its first home-school convention and more than 600 registries showed up, many with babes in arms preparing for the future. These are young Christian families who have decided that their children will never see the inside of a public school. No one knows exactly how many children are being educated at home. Estimates vary from 200,000 to a million. What we do know is that there are now home-school associations in every state and more home-school conventions, conferences, seminars, workshops and book fairs than anyone family can attend. Why is the home-education movement attracting so many new young families? Much of it has to do with the renewal of the Christian family and the desire to adhere to Biblical principles in child rearing.
The growing knowledge among Christians that the public schools are aggressively proselytizing Christian children into humanism via such programs as values clarification, sensitivity training, globalism, multiculturalism, evolution, sex education and death education is perhaps the most compelling reason why parents are turning to home schooling as the preferred alternative ~. Also, many families are disappointed in the lukewarm religious content of many Christian schools that seem to adopt too much from the public schools in curriculum and general ‘practice. What the parents want is a strong, radical shift in orientation toward the Bible. They seek its moral and spiritual security in a world inundated by pornography, drugs, violence, abortion. political corruption and pagan depravity. The home school is being recognized as perhaps the only sure safe haven for children growing up in an increasingly dangerous society.
Meanwhile, the education establishment has become quite concerned with the growth of the home-education movement, which is contributing to the exodus from the public school. In fact, at its 1988 convention, the National Education Association virtually declared war on home education with its Resolution C-34:
“The National Education Association believes that home-school programs cannot provide the child with a comprehensive education experience. The Association believes that, if parental preference home-school study occurs, students enrolled must meet all state requirements. Instruction should be by persons who are licensed by the appropriate state education licensure agency, and a curriculum approved by the state department of education should be used. The Association further believes that such home-school programs should be limited to the children of the immediate family, with all expenses being borne by the parents.”
While the NEA deprecates the home school as an educational institution, the home schoolers are proving that their children are indeed getting a “comprehensive education experience” far superior to the academic junk-food that public schoolers are fed for twelve years and result in declining test scores and increased functional illiteracy.
All of this has led to an education reform movement which is costing the taxpayers additional billions without any visible improvement to date. In addition, wherever home schoolers have been tested, they’ve done better than their public-school counterparts. For example, in Tennessee, where about 900 home schoolers were registered with the state in 1989 — even though it is estimated that about 4,000 Tennessee children are being taught at home — home schoolers did quite \well. The Chattanooga News-Free Press of Dec. 11, 1989, reported:
“State tests show that second graders are about equal to their classroom-educated counterparts. But by the fifth grade, home schoolers have passed their classroom peers in reading, and by the seventh grade home schoolers excel in both math and language, scores show.”
In 1987, the performance of homeschoolers in Tennessee was equally impressive. Of the 561 homeschoolers tested, 213 outscored 245,000 of their public-school counterparts. Fifty-nine homeschool second graders were among the nation’s top 16 percent in reading ability and in the top 10 percentile in math. In the eighth grade, 30 home-schoolers scored 89 percent in reading and 79 percent in math. The 61,518 public school students scored 82 percent in reading and 72 percent in math. (Chattanooga Times, 8/13/87)
The reason why home schoolers do so well is because one-on-one tutoring is far superior to the classroom situation where children who need help get lost in the crowd. In tutoring you get immediate feedback, immediate correction, and thus the child is less likely to develop bad academic habits. Also, home-schooling parents are more apt to teach their children to read by intensive phonics than by the discredited, inefficient look-say or whole-word method. This makes an enormous difference when the goal is academic excellence. Another reason why home schoolers excel is because home educators are highly motivated, dedicated parents, committed to providing their children with the best education possible.
They want their children to become the best that America has to offer. The home-educated youngster represents the finest expression of the American Christian character; moral in behavior, peer independent, self-confident, respectful of elders, self-disciplined, inventive, freedom loving, patriotic, enterprising, God fearing. These are the youngsters who will become the leaders of tomorrow. It is symptomatic of our corrupt, paganized society that it is the finest Christian families, who have accepted their responsibility to educate and rear their children in a Godly manner, who are being , harassed and prosecuted by educational bureaucrats and state attorneys in Iowa, Michigan and elsewhere, determined to impose an atheistic sovereignty over God’s children. There will be many trials and tribulations in the days ahead, but in Christ, victory is ultimately assured.

The Weekly Sam: Should Christians Support Education Without God? by Samuel L. Blumenfeld
Back in 1849, when the organized Protestants of Massachusetts
debated whether or not to support the public-school movement, which was
then being heavily promoted by the Unitarians, they decided in favor of
support, but with well-expressed conditions. They wrote:
“The benefits of this system, in offering instruction to all, are so many and so great
that its religious deficiencies,–especially since they can be otherwise supplied, do not
seem to be a sufficient reason for abandoning it, and adopting in place of it, a system
of denominational parochial schools ….
It is however a great evil to withdraw from the established system of common
schools, the interest and influence of the religious part of the community. On the
whole, it seems to be the wisest course, at least for the present, to do all in our power
to perfect as far as it can be done, not only its intellectual, but also its moral and
religious character.
If after a full and faithful experiment, it should at last be seen that fidelity to the
religious interests of our children forbids a further patronage of the system, we can
unite with the Evangelical Christians in the establishment of private schools, in which
more full doctrinal religious instruction may be possible.
But, until we are forced to this result, it seems to us desirable that the religious
community do all in their power to give an opportunity for a full and fair experiment of
the existing system, including not only the common schools, but also the Normal
Schools and the Board of Education.”
I don’t believe that any Christian can doubt that there has been a “full
and fair experiment” of public education for the last 150 years and that its
fidelity to the religious interests of Christian children has been proven to be
decidedly negative. In fact, thousands of Christian parents, without
knowledge of what was written in 1849, have already taken their children
out of the public schools and either decided to homeschool them or place
them in Christian schools. Their responsibilities as Christian parents have
led them to make the necessary decision for the sake of their children’s
spiritual wellbeing.
But what is disturbing is that most Christians still patronize a system
that is undermining the religious beliefs of their children. One wonders what
must happen before these parents realize the harm they are doing to their
children by keeping them in the public schools.
The simple fact is that the present government education system has
as its foundation an anti-Christian philosophy known as secular humanism.
All one has to do is read the Humanist Manifestos I and II to confirm the
truth of this assertion. Humanist Manifesto I was written in 1933 by young
Unitarian ministers who believed that the spiritual power of orthodox
religion was in decline and should be replaced by a rational, man-centered,
nontheistic religion. They wrote:
“Humanism asserts that the nature of the universe depicted by modern science
makes unacceptable any supernatural or cosmic guarantees of human values ….
Religious humanism considers the complete realization of human personality to be the
end of man’s life and seeks its development and fulfillment in the here and now. .. .
Religious humanism maintains that all associations and institutions exist for the
fulfillment of human life. The intelligent evaluation, transformation, control, and
direction of such associations and institutions with a view to the enhancement of
human life is the purpose and program of humanism. Certainly religious institutions,
their ritualistic forms, ecclesiastical methods, and communal activities must be
reconstituted as rapidly as experience allows, in order to function effectively in the
modern world.”
Humanism is the only religion in America that has as its purpose and
program the reconstitution of the institutions, rituals, and ecclesiastical
methods of other religions. This is an overt declaration of war against
Biblical religion. Forty years later, Humanist Manifesto II states:
As non-theists, we begin with humans not God, nature not deity. [W]e can
discover no divine purpose or providence for the human species …. No deity will save
us; we must save ourselves.
In the January/February 1983 issue of The Humanist magazine, a
young scholar by the name of John J. Dunphy expressed exactly what the
aim of humanists is in education:
“I am convinced that the battle for humankind’s future must be waged and won in
the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the
proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects the
spark of what theologians call divinity in every human being. These teachers must
embody the same selfless dedication as the most rabid fundamentalist preachers, for
they will be ministers of another sort, utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to convey
humanist values in whatever subject they teach, regardless of educational level-
preschool day care or large state university. The classroom must and will become an
arena of conflict between the old and the new–the rotting corpse of Christianity,
together with its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism, resplendent
in its promise of a world in which the never-realized Christian ideal of “love thy
neighbor” will finally be achieved.”
The humanist war against Christianity is going on everyday in the
classrooms of America. But the real battle is being fought in the courtrooms
of the nation. In March 1987, U.S. District Judge W. Brevard Hand ruled in
Smith v. Board of School Commissioners of Mobile County. Alabama that
the public school curriculum was based on the tenets of secular humanism,
and he thereby ordered that humanist textbooks to be removed from the
schools. Five months later this ruling was overturned by the Eleventh
Circuit Court which stated that “none of these books convey a message of
government approval of secular humanism.”
In other words, humanists are free to teach their dogma in the public
schools as long as the government does not convey a message of
approval. But that is the argument used to keep Christianity out. It is said
that the mere inclusion of anything Christian in a public school curriculum
automatically implies government approval.
The notion that public schools are neutral when it comes to religion is
belied by the strong prejudice against Christianity as openly expressed by
such humanists as John Dunphy. What we have is not neutrality but
warfare. Until Christians recognize that the government schools are
establishments of religion, and that education is fundamentally a religious
activity, we shall not be able to deal realistically with our educational crisis.
The message for Christian parents must be loud and clear: putting a
child in a public school violates God’s commandment as given in
Deuteronomy 6 to educate a child in the love and admonition of the Lord.
There is no substitute for a godly education. In place of God, the public
schools offer evolution, sex education, death education, multiculturalism,
transcendental meditation, situational ethics, drug education, and other
forms of humanist teachings. These are the programs that are creating the
new nihilist, amoral barbarians that are devastating the lives of thousands
of parents. There is hardly a Christian family that has not lost a child to the
satanic culture that grows in the public school environment.
If Christians wish to restore America as a nation under God, they shall
have to educate their children in schools that revere Him .•
