Who cares? How postgraduate parents fall through the gap for government childcare grants, and how to fix it
The provision of support to subsidise childcare has been a salient policy topic in recent years. In 2023, the Conservative Government announced an expansion of support for workers, offering 15 free hours a week for two-year-olds. From September 2024, this expands to babies from nine months old, rising to 30 free hours of support from September 2025 for 38 weeks a year. Postgraduate students (on taught courses and researchers) who are parents have been forgotten.
Morano on SEC ‘climate risk’ disclosures: ‘It’s a way for climate activists to literally get their claws into every aspect of a business’ without a vote of Congress
Marc Morano of Climate Depot tells AFN the SEC vote represents a backdoor attempt by climate activists to use a “layer of bureaucracy” to enact their radical agenda that failed to get approved in Congress. "They're not having Congress pass a big bill with public hearings and town hall meetings, and talk radio and constituents calling,” he says. “They're doing this through the regulatory agencies of the administrative state.” ...
Soaring Gas Prices Pinned On Putin By Same People Who Hate Your SUV
After the President announced action against Russia on Tuesday, the White House and their media allies were ready with a social media hashtag, #PutinPriceHike, to lay the blame for rising gas prices on Russia’s president.
Soaring gas prices pinned on Putin by same people who hate your SUV
Caving to pressure to take action, President Joe Biden announced this week the U.S. will ban imports of Russian oil to punish Vladimir Putin and his military invasion of Ukraine, and now the American public is witnessing the fossil fuel-hating White House blame Putin for record-high gas prices.
Congressman says swampy 'show' funded gov't and faked a vote
A firebrand Republican congressman is warning right-leaning Americans their GOP leaders caved to fund the federal government, but refused to defeat vaccine mandates, in a swampy, vote-counting political maneuver between both political parties. Last week, the evenly divided U.S. Senate voted for a so-called “stopgap” bill days before a deadline hit that would have triggered a government shutdown. Over in the U.S. House, before the Senate votes were cast, Rep.
After running from 'Lia' uproar, NCAA returns and overrules new policy
University of Pennsylvania senior Will Thomas, who is competing as a female named "Lia," will be eligible for Division 1 championships in March after the NCAA overruled a new policy set by USA Swimming. After the panicking NCAA refused to set tougher testosterone guidelines that would restrict transgender swimmer “Lia” Thomas, it has now decided to take action after USA Swimming set a tougher policy that would have booted the male swimmer from upcoming national championships.
World watching Canada embrace 'Great Resist' over 'Great Reset'
Canadian protesters show their support for the "Freedom Convoy" of truck drivers as they were driving to Ottawa to protest a COVID-19 vaccine mandate set by their government. Unable to bully and control their own protesting countrymen, Canada’s panicking leftist leaders have called their nation’s protesting truckers everything from Russian agents to violent terrorists, but an American says Canada is watching freedom flourish.
GA radio host: Don't dismiss Abrams' second run for governor
Democrat Stacey Abrams has announced she is running a second time for the Georgia's governor's office, which is held by Republican Brian Kemp. He narrowly defeated her in 2018 and is seeking re-election. Stacey Abrams has announced she is running again for Georgia’s governor --- or for re-election if you believe her claims from four years ago --- and a Georgia-based radio talk show host says Republicans should not dismiss the Democrat's second run for the office.
'Wedge' initiative aims to take patient care back to earlier time
A longtime advocate for medical patients and their privacy says the COVID pandemic has shown the need for independent-minded doctors to practice patient care free of bureaucracy and burdensome rules that tie them down and allow others to make key decisions. Twila Brase, who leads Citizens Council for Health Freedom, says 70% of physicians are employed by a hospital or by a larger health care system. That number is even higher, she says, for doctors 40 and younger.
Pfizer Boss Admits 'Revaccination' Likely But Calls Critics 'Criminals'
Mega-corporation Pfizer is projected to make more than $30 billion in revenue by year’s end from its COVID-19 shot, and the boss who is in charge of that revenue stream is making headlines for suggesting vaccine critics are worse than just bad people spreading false information. “Those people are criminals,” Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told Atlantic Council, a Washington, D.C. think tank. “They’re not [just] bad people.
In little community, lone library board member picks big fight
A library board member in Arkansas appears to be outnumbered in a culture-war fight over library shelves filled with explicit and controversial LGBT-themed books, but he insists the battle he is losing so far is worth the accusations and name-calling. In Craighead County, Mark Nichols serves on a library board that oversees the public library system that serves Jonesboro, Harrisburg, and other small communities.
Poll: Most predict doomed planet but won't pony up $5 to stop it
A new poll suggests a majority of Americans are concerned about a “deteriorating climate” and want the United Nations to save us, but a skeptic of man-made climate change calls that hysteria. "First of all, there is no deteriorating climate," insists Marc Morano of Climate Depot.
TX lawmakers ignored unhinged criticism to defend all-girl sports
Gov. Greg Abbott, of Texas, has signed a bill that bans biological males from competing in female sports after ignoring pressure from mega-corporations and hysterical claims the Republican majority was responsible for teen suicides. Mary Elizabeth Castle of Texas Values says the group is “very grateful” to the Republican governor for signing HB 25 over vocal opposition from left-wing activists.
Chicago's neighbor puts out 'welcome' sign to non-jabbed police
Illinois neighbor Indiana is encouraging non-jabbed Chicago police officers to cross the state line and work for state and municipal governments that will not punish them for refusing to get the COVID-19 shot. An Indiana-based political activist says he is not surprised The Hoosier State is telling Chicago police officers, who are resisting The Jab and concerned about the next paycheck, they have a job next door. In order to keep their jobs as of Oct.
Holiday plans: Millions worry over jobs as lawyers fight OSHA rule
The so-called “vaccine mandate” announced by President Joe Biden appears to be moving closer to becoming a brand-new regulation enforced by OSHA, which would shift the controversial issue from public skepticism to a courtroom battle over forcing businesses to force their employees to get The Jab or get fined tens of thousands of dollars for failing to do so. Biden’s announcement, which came Sept.
Not all Dems nodding along with VP at 'genocide' claim
Vice President Kamala Harris is drawing criticism for nodding along with a college student who claimed Israel is guilty of "ethnic genocide" when Palestinian terrorists routinely launch rockets at the civilian population. The leader of a messianic Jewish ministry says a recent comment from Vice President Kamala Harris is another example the Biden administration opposes Israel and its security, and that opposition comes with a price.
Christian apologist accused of denying fundamental truths
For a long time, a noted Christian apologist has publicly staked out a position that challenges the literal claims in the Book of Genesis but another apologist warns that position is a dangerous denial of truth and scripture. The first 11 chapters on Genesis cover everything from the six-day creation account to Noah’s rescue from a worldwide flood.
SCOTUS asked, again, to hear appeal of praying coach
A football coach fired for kneeling after home games is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court for a second time, where some justices expressed concern over the case in 2019 but declined to hear it.

Retired Army General Who Knows About Dangers Of Rescue, Says Sickened By Kabul
“This is the most humiliating period of my life, as far as being an American,” says Gen. (Retired) Jerry Boykin, “to see what’s going on here.” What is going on, according to the State Department’s own admission, is the American government allowed thousands of U.S. citizens, and tens of thousands of Afghan allies, to remain behind when the Taliban swept across the countryside and marched into Kabul, the capital city, August 15.

The tens of millions of Americans who use Facebook to post vacation photos, sell baby clothes, and argue politics with their liberal cousin have a new feature: Identify any Nazi skinheads they know and get them help for their misguided beliefs.
Security Alert: You may want to turn off Amazon sidewalk if you use Alexa
Mega-corporation Amazon has moved far beyond offering selling books and tennis shoes, and even the always-listening Alexa: It has created a high-tech network that connects you to your neighbors — without your permission. The new Amazon feature called “Sidewalk” launched this month. It connects your Amazon Echo, Ring doorbell camera system, and other Amazon and Google wireless internet devices to those of your neighbors to form a new, sprawling network.

Dems deserve credit for not letting Jan. riot go to waste
If the American public needs further evidence Democrats will keep milking the Jan. 6 riot for their own benefit, a lawmaker’s push for a permanent memorial might be all the proof they need. Rep.
Parents warned, again, that indoctrination coming for your kids
America’s public school students are the soon-to-be target of a grant program from the U.S. Dept of Education that plans to introduce children to the Marxism-inspired Critical Race Theory and the debunked 1619 Project, and a knowledgeable critic of both is asking parents when enough is enough. According to an exclusive National Review story, the U.S. Dept.
Gallup, veteran of polls, documents worst-ever figure for churches
For the first time ever, fewer than half of Americans say they are members of a church, synagogue or mosque, and a Christian apologist says that figure should alarm those who are sitting in the pews on Sunday morning. The steady decline in church attendance among Americans has been documented for decades, meaning it is not making headlines anymore, but Gallup reports the under-50% is a first time for a nation birthed by the demand to worship freely without fear of the king's soldiers at the door.
CA liberals, who hate the Right, want to purge 'hate'
California lawmakers claim they want to keep the bad guys from putting on a police uniform but a California-based religious liberty attorney says left-wing legislators should be forced to define “bad guy” since that defines everyone who is not a liberal. Brad Dacus, who leads the Pacific Justice Institute, calls AB 655 a “modern-day witch trial” that is attempting to run off conservative Christians in the guise of purging police departments of law enforcement that is affiliated with a hate group.
Dr. Seuss was target before 'Cancel Culture' caught up
The warning is out for anyone not listening: The so-called “Cancel Culture” that claimed Dr. Seuss as its latest trophy will never, ever be satisfied because white supremacists are supposedly hiding everywhere, not just on Mulberry Street.
Is current 'cancel culture' fantasizing about drone strikes now?
The so-called “Cancel Culture” is coming after people of all stripes, which is not surprising when the goal is forcing adherence, and there is no bigger target right now than conservative Evangelicals. The tactic is not new. Far-left Democrats and their media allies claimed the tea party movement (pictured at right) was racist because Barack Obama was living in the White House.
Equality Act would stomp religious conservatives
When the Democratic Party takes over the White House and both chambers of Congress in a few days, one obvious target is religious conservatives who interfere with the Left’s version of progress -- but there is legislation waiting for passage that would swiftly take care of that burdensome problem. President-elect Joe Biden vowed before Election Day to pass the Equality Act if elected, and to pass it within 100 days of taking office, The Hill reported in October.
Kerry: American voters chose 'Great Reset' over nationalism
At the same time a wealthy American aristocrat is telling Donald Trump voters they failed democracy, the evidence keeps growing that powerful world leaders are openly calling for a worldwide “reset” over unfounded fears of COVID-19. Speaking recently at the World Economic Forum (see video here), John Kerry praised American citizens for supporting a “Great Reset” by electing Joe Biden. But he expressed frustration that so many Americans voted to re-elect President Trump.
Big Tech blocks access to Biden story nobody surprised to read
The American public is watching, in real time, as Big Tech is attempting to block a newspaper story tying Joe Biden to his son’s globetrotting, cash-grabbing adventures in Ukraine and China. Just hours after The New York Post broke the story Wednesday morning, a spokesman for Facebook announced the popular website would address the newspaper story with fact-checkers and also limit distribution of the story.
Pastor facing jail laughs at lecture to keep doors closed
Andy Stanley, the prominent Atlanta-based pastor, is telling churches not to come together on Sunday mornings while, across the country, a California pastor is vowing to go to jail to keep the doors open. Back in July, Stanley announced that his North Point group of churches were done for the year due to the spread of COVID-19. More recently, he explained his thinking in a Q-and-A video chat with Liberty University students.
Left-wing groups setting stage for temporary Trump victory
America is in for a rocky couple of months leading up to Election Day, and probably weeks after the votes are counted, and a radio talk show host warns it is foolish to believe otherwise. “It would be naïve to believe, at this point,” says Richard Randall, “that we will see a peaceful election, a resolution on Election Night, and the country goes forward.” He predicts “turmoil in the streets” instead.
The Mississippi state flag needed to change: Here's what I learned
If you ever want to see what racism looks like in print, go read the Declaration of Immediate Causes, approved by the Mississippi Legislature in January 1861 when it met for a Secession Convention. From a historical perspective, the declaration makes an interesting read. It reminds those Yankees how they boxed in the slave-owning South by nullifying the Slave Fugitive Act and by barring any more “slave states” from joining the Union, among other grievances and complaints both real and imagined.
Ramblin' with Uncle Billy: I was a drug addict - : Calhoun Times
I’m ashamed to say it, but I was a drug addict for 10 years. My drug was the deadliest drug known to man. It is responsible for the death of millions of people throughout the world. Many of my friends were using this drug. I started out innocently enough. I started using it occasionally when I was with friends. At first, there was no problem, I could take it or leave it. Pretty soon, my body started demanding more and more of the drug and I realized I was hooked. I was a drug addict and couldn’t stop.
