Brock Fankhauser: Building Homes for America’s Veterans

July 18, 2024 • Rebecca Terrell, Brock Fankhauser

The 1776® Community, a grassroots movement combining the elements of American patriotism, the American Dream of home ownership, and the founding ideals of The United States of America: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and its partner Building Homes for Heroes®, a national non-profit, non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization supported by Lowes that is determined and devoted to bringing renewed hope to our nation’s injured veterans, first responders, and their families.

These two entities are donating a mortgage-free home in Gastonia, North Carolina to Army Sergeant Peter Clark and his wife, Army Specialist Kelly Clark. A home donation dedication ceremony will take place on Friday, July 26 at 10 am at 3089 Founding Fathers Drive in 1776® Gastonia and 150+ community members, first responders, local dignitaries are due to be in attendance and there will be a firetruck procession to their new home. Hopefully, you can cover this patriotic story honoring these two highly esteemed and deserving veterans and these appreciative community partners who are so grateful for their service and sacrifices.

Army Sergeant Peter Clark embarked on numerous life-threatening journeys across Iraq, where he delivered essential supplies, ammunition and transported fallen soldiers. On a particularly harrowing mission, he suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) while navigating hostile terrain. This incident, along with prolonged exposure to burn pits, significantly impacted his physical and mental health, leading to diagnoses of lung and brain cancer, memory loss, PTSD, and other debilitating conditions. The community of 1776® Gastonia stands ready to welcome them with open arms and offer the support they need.

Brock Fankhauser, Founder of The 1776® Community, visits with The New American senior editor Rebecca Terrell to discuss these veterans and why he and Building Homes for Heroes wanted to donate a home to them.

Fake Beached Whale Near UN ‘Climate’ Summit Aimed at Inducing Fear

November 15, 2024 • Alex Newman

BAKU, Azerbaijan — On the shores of the Caspian Sea lies a giant fake sperm whale reeking with the stench of rotten fish during the United Nations' COP29 climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan. Created by Belgian artist and activist Captain Boomer Collective, the display was planted to drum up drama surrounding the UN event, complete with actors posing as scientists pretending to take samples of the creature. The New American Senior Editor Alex Newman spoke with two of the whale "researchers" behind the stunt, plus Craig Rucker, the president of CFACT, whose organization is involved in litigation to save whales from the devastating effects of windmills along the coast. Despite showmanship from climate alarmists, the COP29 summit is underscored by gloom as Donald Trump's mandate victory appears to indicate a retreat from dumping billions of U.S. taxpayer money into global warming initiatives. One of the “scientists” behind the display said he hoped people would “use their brain.”

Climate Skeptic: UN Loyalists Aren't Conspirators, They're Zealots

November 15, 2024 • Alex Newman

The climate change loyalists are not conspirators but rather zealots, which is far worse, argues John Robson, the founder and executive director of Climate Discussion Nexus, to The New American's Alex Newman at the United Nations' COP29. Robson, who is attending the COP29 as a journalist, argues that the reason climate alarmists are pushing renewable energies is that they truly believe if developed Western nations can set an example, the rest of the world will follow. The answer to this problem is that climate skeptics must be well informed to offer substantive reasons to environmentalists as to why the weather and climate are not getting worse, Robson said.

UN Climate Hoax Coming Apart, Says Environmental Leader

November 15, 2024 • Alex Newman

BAKU, Azerbaijan — The United Nations narrative and agenda on alleged man-made “climate change” are coming apart with the election of President Donald Trump and growing awareness among governments and young people, argued market-oriented environmental leader Craig Rucker in an interview with The New American magazine Senior Editor Alex Newman at the UN COP29 climate conference. Rucker, the founder and chief of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), noted that very few national leaders attended this year’s UN summit. And as young people learn the facts about the UN’s endless series of failed predictions, it becomes easy for them to see the manipulation, he added. Rucker mentioned several conversations with delegates from governments of developing countries who have lost confidence in the UN process. Many of them, he said, are even pro-Trump. Governments including those in Argentina and Papua New Guinea do not even have negotiators at the COP29, he added.
