Danger: The Proposed South Carolina "Health Czar" Legislation will be Hazardous to Your FREEDOM!
- By W.H. Lamb
WARNING: THE PROPOSED "HEALTH CZAR" LEGISLATION PENDING IN COLUMBIA WILL BE DANGEROUS NOT ONLY TO YOUR HEALTH, POTENTIALLY, BUT WILL BE VERY DANGEROUS TO YOUR CONTINUED FREEDOM TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN MEDICAL CARE AND ACT AS YOU THINK BEST FOR YOU!
Before reading my thoughts, please read the late and great patriot, Walter William's warning, below. It surely forces us to focus on the PENDING "reconciliation" of S 915 and H4927, which would establish a TRUE MEDICAL TYRANNY HERE IN S.C., and which would create a new 'EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF HEALTH AND POLICY", which would be consolidated as the SOLE POWER over several presently existing agencies, that now are under the control of the S.C. Governor.
Insights into the Russian View of Russian History
- By Mike Scruggs
Tucker Carson’s Interview of Vladimir Putin - Part 2 of a Series
Commentary: Only 60 percent of the citizens of pre-2014 Ukraine consider Ukrainian their native language. About 25 percent are ethnic Russians, and another 15 percent are of mixed Russian-Ukrainian culture. Three of 27 Ukrainian oblasts are for political purposes 80 to 90 percent Russian: Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea/Sevastopol. Six more are 60 to 74 percent Russian. These are all connected in the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine and include two of Ukraine’s largest cities, Kharkiv and Odessa, and the entire Ukrainian coast of the Black Sea. These have been culturally, ethnically, and linguistically Russian for centuries, yet all but Crimea/Sevastopol were arbitrarily made part of the Ukrainian SSR in 1922. Crimea/Sevastopol was in an arbitrary political deal given to Ukraine by Khrushchev in 1954. It is less than 15 percent Ukrainian and has never been more than 25 percent Ukrainian. It has crucial military and naval importance to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. Following a bloody February 2014 presidential coup in Ukraine, backed by the U.S. State Department, CIA, and British MI6, the Russian ethnic minority was subjected to severe cultural and ethnic cleansing to erase Russian cultural and political influence in Ukraine. This caused a civil war that was still ongoing, when Putin decided to intervene against Ukrainian military actions against Donetsk and Lugansk militias and civilian centers. Moreover, Putin and almost all Russian Federation leaders, motivated by Russian national security concerns, strongly opposed Ukraine becoming a member of NATO.
Many County Magistrates Still on Bench Past their Terms
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Dozens of county magistrates statewide continue to serve months or even years after their terms have expired – giving S.C. senators who control their nominations the power to fire them at any time.
As of last week, 71, or a nearly a quarter, of the 300 magistrates statewide identified on the S.C. Judicial Department’s website remained in “holdover status,” The Nerve found in a review of the most recently available holdover lists from the department and Governor’s Office, as well as Senate journals, which record official actions of senators while the 46-member chamber is in session.
CIVILIZATION’S INTERREGNUM – PART 10

James Patterson’s Journal – The Story of the Congregation of Andria Church During the Dark Time (Patterson’s Tale #2)
“For the next 3 months or so, we concentrated on restoring the old house back to as close to its original condition as we could. We repaired the water damaged floors and window frames and sills. A carpenter in the village, whose name was Jozef, was sympathetic to the Jesus Sect and measured all the doors and windows, and along with his son, Justin, made us new ones and installed them, charging only 2 cows and 1 bull, plus a sow pig and 5 piglets. My uncle Trika, my father’s youngest brother, felt that this was too high a price to pay for the carpenter’s work and was just about to head off to his shop/home to threaten him when my Uncle Jorgan stopped him, reminding him that although the carpenter was a pagan, he and his son were trusted friends to the JS people, which in Andria village at that time meant a lot. Trika apologized to Uncle Jorgan for his hot temper.
The Transportation Highway to Dystopia
- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center
Last year, the Environmental Protection Agency allocated $3 million for Tennessee to develop its first-ever climate plan through a Climate Pollution Reduction Planning Grant, which was established by the Inflation Reduction Act. The plan is to be divided into two parts and done over four years: the Priority Climate Action Plan and the Comprehensive Climate Action Plan.
But this plan is not just for Tennessee, it is for every state. Multiple departments of the federal government have put this plan together, and they certainly aren’t about to write a different one for other states. Look into your local general plan, and you might just see these edicts spelled out there.
The Use and Misuse of History

Google Epitomizes the Misuse of History, Suffers $90 Billion Stock Selloff Thanks to Its Woke Gemini AI
[Charleston Athenaeum Press' Publisher's Note, by Gene Kizer, Jr. - Google's Gemini accidentally pulled back the curtain and revealed a hideous, racist, grotesque Google standing there naked for all the world to laugh at and NOBODY to ever trust again.
Google and other cheats have interfered in elections by manipulating search results so Woke leftists get top billing while people with far more talent and honesty are never found.
Google has just confirmed that AI is nothing but a way to magnify leftist politics by a trillion and put it everywhere on the planet so truth can never be found. "Truth" is now what Google reveals in every search on everybody's computer from now to kingdom come.
Christian Worldview Week Set for March 4-6 at NGU
- By Billy Cannada - NGU
North Greenville University (NGU) will host Christian Worldview Week March 4-6, featuring talks from Dr. Katie McCoy and Jason Thacker on “Thinking Christianly about Human Nature.”
Christian Worldview Week has been a highlight at the University for nearly two decades.
“North Greenville always takes seriously the centrality of a biblical worldview in a Christ-first education,” said Dr. Nathan Finn, executive director for NGU’s Institute of Transformational Leadership. “Christian Worldview Week provides an opportunity each spring to invite our entire community to reflect on an important topic from the standpoint of Scripture and consider how it relates to us serving as transformational leaders for church and society.”
Alabama Embryo Ruling Trickles Up to Congress
- By Eagle Forum
Save the Baby Embryos!
A landmark Alabama Supreme Court ruling sent shockwaves throughout the nation on Friday. In a 7-2 decision, the justices ruled that embryos created through means like in-vitro fertilization (IVF) are “minor children” under the state’s Wrongful Death of a Minor Act. This sent Democrats — and a few Republicans — into a tizzy trying to protect the IVF industry. However, the ruling has little to do with IVF and everything to do with the value of life.
Which is more believable, Genesis or the Big Bang Theory?
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The one that you will find more believable between Genesis and the Big Bang Theory depends upon your philosophical starting assumptions. If you look at the evidence from a theistic creation perspective, you will find Genesis to be the most believable. If on the other hand you look at the evidence from an atheistic, naturalistic materialistic perspective, then you will be forced to accept the basic Big Bang to man story regardless of what the evidence actually is.
The State of Black Progress
- By Star Parker
As part of Black History Month 2024, my organization, CURE, Center for Urban Renewal and Education, has announced the release of "The State of Black Progress," published by Encounter Books.
This is a follow-up to "The State of Black America," published by CURE in 2022.
The objective of these tomes is to showcase first-class scholarship to paint a comprehensive picture for thinking much differently about the reality facing Black Americans than what has been the norm for many years.
Big Hair and Eyelashes Cannot Turn a Man into a Woman
- By Kris Ullman - President of Eagle Forum
A principal in an Oklahoma City elementary school was recently forced out of his job because he performs Drag in his spare time. After Libs of Tik-Tok posted the story, Shane Murnan, who uses the stage name Shantel Mandalay, was asked to resign. Murnan claims he has been a female impersonator “for as long as he has been an educator, and his two careers had never been a concern for an employer before last year,” according to the Washington Post. The controversy has “created an environment of fear among teachers at school,” Murnan told the Post.
Michigan Takes a U-Turn Back to the Rust Belt
- By Stephen Moore
No state in modern times has transitioned from a worker freedom state to one that forces workers to join a union and pay dues to labor bosses. All the momentum across the country in the last two decades has been in the opposite direction: allowing workers the right to choose a union -- or not.
That's why what happened last week in Lansing, Michigan, is such a tragic setback for workers' rights and for the economic competitiveness of the state where Henry Ford rolled off the assembly lines the iconic Model T some 100 years ago.
Middle America Wakes up to the Left
- By Anne Schlafly
“Woke” is a shorthand expression that encompasses the radical ideas of the Democrat agenda: critical race theory, diversity-equity-inclusion, “trans” children, elective abortions up to the moment of birth, and the squelching of our speech and ideas.
Do not despair! Americans are not buying what the Democrat progressives are peddling. Americans want the cream to rise to the top and we celebrate true meritocracy. Their “diversity” is employment based on superficial characteristics, not merit. Their “equity” replaces opportunity with predetermined outcomes. Their “inclusion” eliminates rules and discipline. It is no accident that diversity-equity-inclusion is called DEI. DEI is the Latin word for God; those who promote DEI see themselves as godlike.
Stop Resolutions Making Application to Congress to call a [Constitutional] Convention for Proposing Amendments
- By The John Birch Society
Lawmakers across the country are being beguiled into introducing and passing resolutions making application to Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments to the Constitution, also known as a federal constitutional convention (Con-Con), Article V Convention, or a “convention of states” as some erroneously call it.
Given the current widespread lack of knowledge about the Constitution and understanding of the principles of liberty that undergird it, convening such a convention today is likely to result in far greater harm than any purported benefits — placing our entire U.S. Constitution and republican form of government at jeopardy. Rather than pushing resolutions that apply to Congress for an Article V Convention, state legislators should consider nullification to rein in federal overreach. To safeguard the Constitution, urge your state legislators to oppose all Article V constitutional convention resolutions.
The Evils of Socialism
- By John Porter - Harrison, Arkansas
I write about the evils of Socialism so much, that I have been asked by many people around the country if I would write a definition of Socialism, its inherent evils, and the effects it would have upon us as individuals. The following is my attempt at answering that request. For certain, it would be a death blow to capitalism as well as to the God-given freedoms that we have enjoyed for so long in the United States.
Our country’s economic system is called capitalism. It is based upon private ownership of property, which includes the means of production for the creation of goods or services for income and profit by individuals. It is a free market economic system based on the recognition of individual rights to own property (lands, businesses, goods, etc.). Such rights give individuals security and a means to control their own affairs and, thus their own destiny. Under capitalism, private citizens, with their ownership of property, are responsible for producing and distributing goods.

GPC strives to simplify the complexity of this season, to keep you well-informed, and in a position to make a difference. Choosing to be a part of Greenville Patriot Caucus means being a part of the solution - but that doesn't come without hard work and diligence.

Thank you for choosing to be a part of Greenville Patriot Caucus.
Hostility to Churches Fueled by Biden’s Anti-Faith Climate
- By Tony Perkins - The Washington Stand
“It’s an emotional moment,” Pastor Robin Lutjohann said quietly, surveying the rubble of his church. “It’s been a place of worship for a number of communities for over a century,” he told reporters after a six-alarm fire raged through the building Easter Sunday, destroying the Massachusetts landmark. “It fills me with sadness and dread about the work that is ahead of us,” Lutjohann admitted, wondering why anyone would have such malice toward Faith Lutheran. “If and when a person is found who has done this then we will pray for the power to forgive,” he insisted.
Unfortunately, his congregation isn’t alone in that prayer. An astonishing 436 churches in America were victims of criminal attacks in 2023, according to a new report from Family Research Council — more than double the number in 2022. From shattering stained glass and spray-painting relics to lighting five-gallon drums of gasoline on fire and riddling altars with bullet holes, houses of worship have become an increasingly dangerous target.
The Tucker Carlson Interview of Russian President Vladimir Putin
- By Mike Scruggs
Why It is Important to American Security - Part 1
Chinese philosopher General Sun Tsu advised that good military and political leaders must know both the nature and capabilities of their potential enemies and also their own nature and capabilities. The two most common mistakes in war are underestimating your enemy and overestimating your own capabilities. The best victories are won without conflict.
On February 6, Tucker Carlson interviewed Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin within the walls of the Kremlin, the seat of Russian government power in Moscow. Moscow is a city of 13 million residents, the largest city in Europe. Its metropolitan population is over 21 million, also the largest in Europe. It has been the capital of Russia several times in Russian history, most recently since 1918. Tucker Carlson was surprised at how beautiful and clean Moscow has become in the last 20 years. The population of the Russian Federation is approximately 145 million. Geographically, it is the largest country in the world and according to WorldAtlas ranks fifth in natural resources, depending on how you rank the value of various strategic commodities and their diversity. The U.S. ranks seventh. Russia is not “a gas station masquerading as a country,” as John McCain once derisively asserted.

NRB acknowledges that longevity in any field is a rarity and exemplary service in Christian Broadcasting for more than 50 years is a feat worthy of recognition and applause. For this reason, the “Milestone Award” is reserved specifically for organizations with more than five decades in Christian Broadcasting.
Department of Transportation Looking Into Disabling Cars At-Will
- By Eagle Forum
The Biden administration is trying to be a “backseat driver” by encroaching on our property and privacy rights. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has started the process of implementing a device mandate in all new cars that would spy on our driving and have the ability to disable the car. Mandating a kill switch in our vehicles would be the death of our automobile autonomy.

A “PROPHETIC” TALE OF PERSECUTION, RESISTANCE, AND COURAGE IN FAR FUTURE TIME.
Imagine, if you will, a small group of archaeologists working in and under an ancient building high over the banks of the Tomak River, close to a small city named Andria, in the country known as The United Republics of the East (U.R.E). It is a building that has survived the ravages of time and the hatred of malevolent forces over most of its existence. Perhaps sometime in the mid-part of the 28th century these archaeologists make a historical find underneath that newly renovated and restored ancient building on the banks of that river, a building that was around 900 years old at that time and that had been used as a church by the Sectof Jesus Followers for a century or more, during a time of severe persecution of Christians. Imagine, then, that in a sealed metal box buried under that church over 300 yearspreviously, they discover a personal journal written by an Elder of that Church. So here is his and his Christian brethren’s story of fear and faithfulness, of peace and violence, of resistance and defeats, of loves for each other and of their Savior, as written down sometime in the early 25th century—near the end of the “Dark Time”--far, far into our own future, which we who live today in the year 2024 will bring about by what we do, or DON’T do!
California Court Rules in Favor of Temecula Valley Unified School District Over Parental Rights Fight
- By Advocates for Faith & Freedom
MURRIETA, Calif. -- Today, a California Court ruled in favor of the Temecula Valley Unified School District, affirming the district's parental notification policy and a resolution prohibiting the teaching of critical race theory (CRT). Last year, a lawsuit was filed against the school district by a group of political activists and the Temecula Valley Educators Association, challenging a resolution that restricts false and divisive CRT curriculum and requires teachers to inform parents of their students' gender transition.
Too Many Corporations, Like Universities, Have Lost Their Way
- By Star Parker
Universities are not alone among our institutions that have lost their way. How about America's corporations, which now seem to think social justice is their job, beside efficiently delivering goods and services to the American public?
In a recent panel discussion at the Bipartisan Policy Institute, Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan, the nation's largest bank, rang the alarm about the nation's debt.
He noted what is already widely known -- that federal debt now equals 100% of GDP, on its way to 130% of GDP by 2035.
