Newsome Makes Early 'Campaign' Appearance in Pickens
- Details
- By Terry M. Thacker
“Get out of here!” yelled about 40 conservative protesters in downtown Pickens on Wednesday as California Governor Gavin Newsome left the Southern Vault building, where he had just finished holding a meet and greet among potential supporters.
Newsome made several 'campaign' stops in the Palmetto State on Tuesday and Wqednesday, no doubt as a prelude to a potential presidential run in 2028. South Carolina, although a smaller state, has an oversized influence in presidential politics in that it is an early primary state.
A Closer Look at the One Big, Beautiful Bill

The OBBB in Bullet Points
In an incredible conclusion to over a year of planning, pushing, and politicking, the One Big, Beautiful Bill “OBBB” (H.R. 1) was signed into law on Independence Day last week. Some are calling it the “biggest conservative victory in 30 years.” Eagle Forum praised its passage in a press release saying, “The One Big, Beautiful Bill reins in decades of reckless spending, secures our nation’s borders, protects the most vulnerable among us, and provides tax relief for all American families.” The OBBB went through several iterations during that time, losing and gaining policies in various committees and floor votes. Here is a breakdown of the key provisions of the law President Trump signed at the July 4th celebration at the White House.
Church Watchdog says St Thomas Fifth Avenue Needs to Remove Porn Producer from Property
- Details
- By Anglican Watch
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Anglican Watch, the unofficial watchdog of the Episcopal Church, is calling upon St. Thomas Fifth Avenue, one of the flagship Anglo-Catholic parishes in the country, to remove a well-known pornographer from the church campus.
While Anglican Watch is not including the individual’s name in this press release, he is believed to live on campus with his same-sex husband in close proximity to children at the St. Thomas Choir School.
“Although we support the full inclusion of LGBTQ+ persons in the church, and are ardent supporters of the First Amendment, we believe that free speech requires responsible behavior,” states Anglican Watch official Eric Bonetti.
AMA President Gets USPIE’s July 2025 Millstone of the Month Award for Backing Trans Mutilation of Children
- Details
- By United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE)
It’s astonishing that American Medical Association (AMA) President Bobby Mukkamala is siding with those who would ply children with life-altering drugs and hormones or irreversible surgeries to castrate them or remove healthy breasts.
The largest medical association in the United States has come out against the Supreme Court’s ruling in United States v. Skrmetti, which upheld Tennessee’s law against subjecting minors to transgender drugs, hormones and surgeries.
“The American Medical Association is disappointed in today’s decision that opens the door to further intrusion into patient care and harmful government interference into the practice of medicine,” American Medical Association (AMA) President Dr. Bobby Mukkamala said in a statement after the ruling was issued on June 18.
ACT NOW: Senate Armed Services Committee May Consider Two Dangerous Provisions
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
The Senate Armed Services Committee is beginning to draft the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This week, they will be marking it up in committee, where they can present amendments to add or strike language. In recent years, dangerous language has been inserted with the help of a few Republicans. We ask you to urge them not to make the same mistakes!
Previous Senate iterations of the NDAA included a provision that would require women ages 18-25 to register for the Selective Service. Senators ignored the fact that women do not have the same muscular and bone structures as men, and therefore, fewer women would be capable of qualifying for military service. Reports and studies have shown that men outperform women in strength and endurance. Even when they “meet the minimum requirements” for military service, women are injured at twice the rate of men, just as female athletes in high school and college sports suffer much higher rates of injury. Anyone sending young women off to war would be using them as cannon fodder.
Texas Flood Claims Lives of Christian Campers
- Details
- By Evelyn Elliott - The Washington Stand
Tragedy hit Texas on the Fourth of July, when the Guadalupe River flooded, claiming at least 104 lives as of Tuesday morning. Authorities predict the casualties will continue to climb.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the flood a “once in a generation disaster,” and on Sunday, President Trump signed a major disaster declaration “to ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need.”
First responders reacted quickly to the flooding, rescuing over 850 people. One U.S. Coast Guard, Rescue Swimmer and Petty Officer Scott Ruskin, rescued 165 people himself, causing Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to call him an “American hero [whose] selfless courage embodies the spirit and mission of the [U.S. Coast Guard].”
Three Biblical Pillars of Christian Faith
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Grace Alone, Faith Alone, in Christ Alone
Grace Alone
On April 22, I published an article in the Times Examiner entitled “The Sovereignty of God.” On June 10, I followed with an article entitled “Sharpening the Truth of Amazing Grace.” Grace is the sovereign gift of God. We do not earn Grace. We may be made in the image of God, but that too, is the sovereign gift of God. We are missing the mark, if we presume we can merit grace or salvation by our own efforts or wisdom. The sinful nature we inherited from Adam is too strong, too blinding, and too polarizing for us to truly know God or recognize our own depraved condition, nature, foolishness, and hopelessness. Grace is God’s loving intervention to cleanse, redeem, enlighten, save, and ultimately glorify whomever He chooses. But I cannot do justice to conveying these Biblical truths. Let Scripture, the Word of God, make the case.
While Americans Slept, Into Our Lives The Enemy Crept!

- By W.H. Lamb
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for
light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”
ISAIAH 5:20 New International Version Bible
Perhaps the most pertinent question facing us today is: just WHO is the “enemy” that has infiltrated its poisonous beliefs into our midst over many generations? An article in The New American Magazine, published on March 8, 2021 featured the insights of C. Mitchel Shaw, and was titled The Great Awakening. Reading it again, it prompted me to reflect on whether or not Americans are truly “awakening” to the dangers posed to their freedom under our increasingly disregarded 1787 Constitution, or have been brainwashed to become so “woke” by the lies of the main stream media during the scurrilous recently ended Comrade Sleazy Joe Biden mal-administration, and their almost cult-like and slavish adherence to the babblings of the “gods” of the despicable social media—the collectivist churls who are so determined to tell Americans, especially our younger citizens, WHAT to think, WHAT to dislike, andWHO to permit to exercise the increasingly nebulous concept of“free speech”, that most of them are essentially useless in the fight for freedom’s preservation.
Americanism and America
- Details
- By Robert W. Malone MD, MS
... and why it matters.
For U.S. citizens, this is our most patriotic weekend of the year, so it seems fitting to rewrite and republish an essay that I wrote two years ago on Americanism. It is important to remember that in most of Europe, Patriotism is considered a bad thing that can lead to ‘far right” totalitarianism. Most U.S. citizens see it quite differently, and we celebrate patriotism, particularly on the Fourth of July every year.
Americanism can be defined as a belief in devotion, loyalty, or allegiance to the United States of America, as well as respect for its flag, traditions, customs, culture, symbols, institutions, and form of government.
At the heart of Americanism is loyalty to the United States, its culture, and its political structure. These ideals include, but are not limited to, independence, justice, freedom of speech, democracy, the Constitution, our Republic, and economic progress.
Impact Fees: A Continuing Conversation

Greenville County is growing by more than 20 people every single day. That growth brings a massive strain on roads, water, sewer, public safety, parks, and our schools.
This Tuesday, County Council and the Planning Commission will meet jointly with Carson Bise, one of the most respected impact fee consultants in America, with over 30 years of experience and more than 350 successful projects.
Individual Choice vs Government Tyranny: The Debate Goes ON
- Details
- By Tom DeWeese - American Policy Center
In the Fall of 2006, I received a most unexpected invitation to travel to Cambridge University in Great Britain and take part in a debate before a 200-year-old debating society called the Cambridge Union. The issue we were to debate – “This House believes that the United Nations is a dead loss!” There was an issue I could easily get behind.
My opponents in the debate included Simon Hughes, a member of Parliament and President of the Liberal Democrats; Lord David Hanney, Former UK Ambassador to the UN; and Salil Shetty, Director of the UN’s Millennium Campaign. The two other debaters who were supposed to be on my side were both pro-UN leftists. So, it was a typical five-to-one debate.
The Biggest Conservative Victory in 30 Years
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
Everyone knows that the "big, beautiful" tax bill signed into law on the Fourth of July lowers tax burdens for families and businesses. It also averts a $4 trillion tax increase starting next year. That's enough reason to heartily celebrate.
But what isn't well known is that this new law doesn't just change tax policy. It includes dozens of other long-sought policy goals -- what I call "hidden gems." Here is a list of some of the major policy victories:
The law is the most aggressive federal advancement of school choice by allowing low-income parents to direct education dollars to private, charter or Catholic schools that are better for their kids.
Is Evolution Inherently Atheistic?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
In the discussion about evolution there is definitely an atheistic tone among evolutionists. When dealing with the question of whether or not evolution itself is inherently atheistic you have to specify what you mean by evolution. Evolutionists frequently use the word evolution to refer to both adaptation and universal common descent despite the fact that they are not the same thing. Their thinking is that over the long-haul adaptation leads to universal common descent.
However, when you research the idea of universal common descent, including its history and philosophy, you learn very quickly that it is inherently atheistic. This is because when you exclude a common designer as a possibility, common descent is the only possible way of explaining genetic and chemical data. Furthermore, the reaction to ideas such as intelligent design demonstrates the atheistic connection better than anything else can.
Gubernatorial Candidate Alan Wilson Makes Campaign Stop in Greenville

- By Terry M. Thacker
Attorney General Alan Wilson, who has joined a crowded field in the race for the GOP nomination to be the next governor of South Carolina, made a stop at the Stax Original restaurant in Cherrydale this past Friday morning.
Wilson, accompanied by Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis, greeted and shook hands with diners enjoying their sausage, eggs, pancakes and coffee. He then took questions from the media who had gathered to cover his visit.
During his brief remarks, Wilson said that, as governor, he would work to “reform and revolutionize” the education system, including expanding access to technical colleges.
Update on Israel-Iran War
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
A Short Summary of the 12-Day War - Dated June 29, 2025
On Friday, June 13, Israeli F-35 stealth bombers executed a surprise attack on Iranian nuclear facilities and military sites. Simultaneously, Israeli intelligence agents within Iran assassinated many top military officials and nuclear scientists. About 70 Iranians were killed and another 350 were wounded. Israel has long considered the possibility of Iranian nuclear weapons an existential threat to the survival of Israel. The Radical Islamic leaders of Iran have frequently threatened to annihilate Israel. Their rhetoric, often expressed through organized pro-government demonstrations, has often featured slogans describing both Israel and the United States as satanic enemies of Iran and Islam.

SCOFFERS GONNA SCOFF
By Karen Rene’ Pryer
From the web site: And We Know, Romans 8:28, July 21, 2021
“Scoffers gonna scoff at us—This is no surprise.
When heads are buried in the sand—denial is demise!
Conspiracies are rampant And the truth is hard to find,
But even when you find it, No one backs you from behind.
The world rejected Jesus As the world rejects us now.
The truth is viewed as crazy, And is misconstrued somehow.
But when we stand up to the world And lift our voices high—
The love of Jesus radiates The truth we testify!
When scoffers come a-scoffing—To tell you you’re insane—
Just know your toiling for the truth Will never be in vain!”
The Heat Problem of Young Earth Creation Science
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One of the most significant scientific challenges facing Young Earth Creation Science is the “heat problem.” This issue arises when the processes invoked to explain Earth’s geology, astronomy, and past cataclysms, such as a global flood or accelerated radioactive decay, are examined through the lens of thermal physics. The heat problem refers to the enormous, and apparently insurmountable, quantities of heat that would be generated by these processes if compressed into the brief timescales suggested by Young Earth Creation. Here we explore the facets of the heat problem, its implications, and some proposed solutions.
Defining the Heat Problem
The heat problem, sometimes called the “thermal problem” or “excess heat problem,” encompasses several scenarios in which the energy released by proposed young-Earth events would produce catastrophic levels of heat, incompatible with the continued existence of the planet, its biosphere, or even its very structure.
The 3 Most Important Votes of the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ Vote-a-Rama
- Details
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” moved closer to adoption overnight, as Senate Democrats attempted to load the bill with poison pill amendments in the “vote-a-rama.” During the lengthy amendment process, which began at 9 a.m. Monday morning and continues as of this writing, anyone may offer amendments to the 940-page bill. Senate changes have already made the bill less attractive to pro-life, pro-family conservatives. Yet the revised text also removes a controversial, 10-year moratorium on states regulating artificial intelligence.
Christian Government, Christian Law, and Godly Coercion to Save the Lost
- Details
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
God created society to preserve and improve the human race. God created government and law to preserve and improve society. Every person assumes as true some favored concept of or belief about what is good and what is evil, and what is just and unjust; and every society and its government are based on some such prevalent conception or belief.
Because of man's fallen and sinful nature, and his finitude and fallibility of mind, all human governments in this earthly life lie somewhere -- far away from the perfect -- on the spectrum of Godliness to ungodliness, of truth to error, and of good to evil.
Election Fairness and President Trump
- Details
- By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. - Arizona Today
Indisputable evidence of election interference and fraud finally led to an official order by President Trump to establish a Federal Prosecutor to formally investigate all aspects of the 2020 and 2022 elections. This segment of ARIZONA TODAY presents some of the evidence and cover up that thwarted any formal actions to determine whether America's sacred privilege by the citizens to elect their officials was sabotaged, and worse! Arizona State Senator Mark Finchem, who came forward in November 2020 to expose the multifaceted election interference in Arizona and then helped to expose similar in six additional states, is my guest for this conversation.
Trump’s Iran Stunner: ‘None of Us Had Any Idea That a Bunch of Bombers Were Already in the Air’
- Details
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
While Democrats (and at least one Republican) will continue to snipe at Donald Trump over whether Saturday’s obliteration of Iran’s nuclear facilities warranted Congress’s approval, one thing that shouldn’t be debated is the overwhelming scale and success of the mission. After months of insisting that he would never let the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism develop a weapon that could wipe out innocent Americans or Israelis, Tehran now knows: this president means what he says. And while it’s been popular to doubt the sincerity of the president’s threats back home, let’s face it — there are no TACO Trump taunts tonight.
Biblical Principles of American Government

Notes and Commentary on a Lecture by Reverend Harry L. Reeder III
On December 10, 2000, I took notes on a lecture on the Biblical Principles of American Government given by Rev. Dr. Harry L. Reeder at Briarwood Presbyterian Church (PCA) in suburban Birmingham, Alabama. On February 12, 2001, I decided to type them out and share them with class I was teaching at Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church (PCA), which was originally a branch (Briarwood South) of Briarwood Presbyterian. I believe the time is especially right to share these principles of American government in an article.
Understanding the Concepts of Evolutionary Biology
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionary biology is a branch of biology that studies the origins, changes, and adaptations of living organisms over generations. It is extremely important to have a proper understanding of evolutionary biology in any discussion about biological evolution.
First of all, from a creationist perspective, evolutionary biology is not really an issue despite the label. The simple fact of the matter is that most of the points within evolutionary biology are fully acceptable within creation science and actually explain some things here in the post Flood world.
Wild Hogs & Frogs—Remembering Tom Anderson, Patriot Extraordinaire
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Ah yes, I remember him well! Tom Anderson, that is. Who, you may ask, was Thomas Jefferson Anderson (1910-2002)? Around fifty-six years ago I attended a meeting of The American Party in Lancaster, S.C. The speaker, Tom Anderson, was a man who had the reputation of being a “straight talker”. That reputation was well earned over his long life of 91 years, and from his birth in Nashville, Tennessee in 1910, including years of serving God and Country, he always strove to honor the spirit of our nation’s Founders. That long-ago talk of his that I attended included two of his favorite stories and although he was not their author, he used both of these stories constantly to hammer home his points that Americans were swiftly losing their freedoms because we were being “conned” into accepting “free stuff” that was leading to the loss of our Constitutional liberties. Let me recount both of those stories for you.
For America to Win the AI Race, Keep Government's Hands Off
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
At the birth of the internet age in the early 1990s, the U.S. and Europe took opposite approaches to advancing this new economy-changing technology.
Europe tried the approach of industrial policy: They allowed government to regulate, subsidize and then tax the swarm of new tech companies that emerged.
Here in the U.S., Congress and the Clinton administration made a wiser choice. We passed laws that kept internet startups regulation-, tax- and lawsuit-free. It was the Wild West of startup technology companies. A Darwinian race to excellence and survival. Some of the big initial companies like AOL, Netscape and MySpace gave way to superior competitors like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Facebook.
Conservative Greenville County Councilmen Fought to Keep Their Campaign Promises
- Details
- By James Spurck, Publisher
A Lack of Communication and Coalition was Clearly Seen among the Conservative Council Members
Following the recent tax hike approved by the previous Council in 2023, last year’s election led to a shake-up, with three council members being replaced due to the tax hike. During the election, candidates won on campaign promises to reverse some of the tax increases, bring transparency to the budget process, and limit the county administration's spending on what they called out-of-control spending.
They discovered within months how difficult that would be. During an approximately four-hour meeting on June 17, 2025, Greenville County Council officially approved its 2026 fiscal year budget of $488.5 million. Not to mention, the passage followed a contentious month-long process marked by passionate debates and struggles to fulfill campaign promises, ending with a final 8-4 vote (For: Russo, Farmer, Bradley, Blount, Seman, Mithcell, Fant, and Tripp; Against: Long, Shaw, McGahhey, and Collins).
For U.S., Disengagement on Israel-Iran Conflict Would Be Costly
- Details
- By Tony Perkins - The Washington Stand
It is in America’s vital interest to stand with Israel — especially now, as the Middle East undergoes a tectonic shift that may alter the global geopolitical landscape for generations.
I’ve been asked repeatedly how we should interpret these current events, particularly in light of some high-profile voices within so-called conservatism — including influential figures in government — encouraging President Trump to adopt a more isolationist stance. Their message? America should avoid entangling itself in global conflicts.
As a Marine veteran, I’m not an unthinking hawk. I don’t believe America should be the world’s policeman, nor do I support endless foreign wars. But retreating into isolation is not a strategy — it’s a gamble with consequences we cannot afford. A global leadership vacuum will not remain unfilled; it will be occupied by regimes hostile to freedom and democracy. To cede that space is not only naïve — it is dangerously shortsighted.
Chairman’s Corner: Final Vote On A Better Budget For Greenville County
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
Tonight, we’ll take the final vote on the FY2026 Greenville County budget. After months of work, conversations, and compromise, I’m proud to say that I support this budget, not because it’s perfect, but because it’s a significant step in the right direction.
The truth is, there’s no such thing as a perfect budget. With every decision we make, there will always be people on both sides of the issue, some who feel we should spend more, others who think we should spend less. That’s the nature of public service and democracy. But what matters most is whether a budget reflects the values and priorities of the people it’s meant to serve. And in this case, I believe it does.
