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.
Background Briefing on Iran

War between Israel and Iran is Underway
World War III in the Making?
On Friday, June 13, Israeli F-35 stealth bombers attacked 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 wounded. The purpose of this attack was to prevent Iranian development of nuclear weapons. The radical Islamic leaders of Iran have frequently threatened to annihilate Israel. They consider both Israel and the United States satanic enemies of Iran and Islam. Islamic enmity and exhortation to annihilate Jews is embedded in Islam’s most holy foundational documents—the Quran and the teachings and traditions of Muhammad (Sunna). Hence Iranian development of nuclear weapons has always been an existential threat to Israel. The level to which Iran developed uranium enrichment even for peaceful use has therefore always been an existential concern to Israel. Immediately prior to the attack, Iran was engaged with the U.S. Trump Administration in negotiating limits on uranium enrichment. The degree of nuclear enrichment and immediate intentions of Iran were uncertain during those negotiations. The Israelis totally opposed any Uranium enrichment for Iran.
Freedom Will Never Be Free

- By W.H. Lamb
As Americans we all should know that the cost of maintaining our freedoms—the liberties for which untold numbers of Americans have given their “last full measure of devotion” to defend--is always high and likely to get even more costly in the years ahead, as the powerful forces of collectivist tyranny clash, verbally and increasingly violently, with the forces of American Patriots determined to RESIST the diabolical agendas of those Marxist/collectivist devils (and their Democrat sycophants and co-conspirators) who are determined that they will prevail over us.
To begin, I’d like to share a touching poem written in 1981 by Kelly Strong:
Only one Interpretation of Genesis 1 is the Biblical Perspective on Origins
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
There are 10 primary interpretations of Genesis chapter 1, however only one represents a true Biblical perspective on origins. This is because it is the only perspective that starts with the Bible and interprets the chapter based on what it actually says rather than trying to read anything into it. It is also the only one that is fully consistent with the rest of scripture including the rationale of Jesus dying on the cross in payment for our sin.
In this article we will look at all 10 perspectives pointing out the benefits and problems with each of them. We will conclude with pointing out which one is not only the most Biblical, but the only one that can be truly considered to be Biblical in nature,
Congress Should Just Say No to a Remittance Tax
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
The House-passed "big, beautiful" tax bill is a tremendous achievement and a giant sparkplug for growth. The bill extends all the Trump tax cuts of 2017, thus heading off a $4 trillion tax INCREASE next year. It expands health savings accounts, includes expensing of major capital and research expenditures by businesses, allows more money for school choice, and includes "no tax on tips" and no tax on overtime pay. And that's just for starters.
But there were also a few bad tax policy changes. One of the worst is the 3.5% tax on noncommercial "remittances" -- payments typically made by foreigners from U.S. financial institutions to parties outside the United States. Certainly, we need to tighten rules to make sure that money stored in the U.S. does not find its way into the hands of criminal syndicates, drug cartels or other bad actors.

Stanton Public Policy Calls on the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) to Stop Spreading Misinformation About Abortion Pill Reversal
- Details
- By Stanton Public Policy Center
WASHINGTON — Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) is a scientifically supported, evidence-based medical protocol that uses progesterone—the natural hormone that sustains pregnancy. When administered appropriately, APR has successfully helped more than 7,000 women globally carry their pregnancies to term, with no documented harm to mother or child. The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists publicly supports the use of APR.
Stanton has sent a strongly worded letter to ACOG requesting a face-to-face meeting with their leadership. Stanton would bring a delegation of physicians, researchers, APR clients, and public health experts to engage in an open, evidence-based dialogue regarding APR and its role in comprehensive women’s healthcare.
Greenville County GOP Changes Meeting Schedule, Does Not Rule Out Virtual Zoom Meetings
- Details
- By Terry M. Thacker
The Greenville County GOP held its first bi-monthly meeting of its new two-year term this past Monday at the Hughes Main Library. After the approval of a resolution on Monday night, however, the party will now meet quarterly rather than bi-monthly.
For decades, the party met on the first Monday of every even month. In the first meeting of the 2021 term, members of the MYSCGOP wing of the party managed to get a resolution passed to require monthly meetings.
Soon after that meeting, the newly elected chair Jennifer Black resigned under pressure. Jeff Davis, the leader of the MYSCGOP wing, was elected chair in her place. During the next two years, on several occasions the meetings were held in the back yard of the party's headquarters building on Wade Hampton Boulevard, the purchase of which had been arranged by Davis. Attendees had to bring their own chairs.
Sharpening the Truth of Amazing Grace

Sixteen Scriptural Passages of Concise Theology
“Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I am found;
Was blind, but now I see.”
Amazing Grace is undoubtedly the most popular hymn in America and arguably one of the most popular hymns worldwide. It was written in 1772 by John Newton, an ordained Anglican minister in England, who had previously been captain of a British ship involved in the brutal slave trade. Along with British Parliament Member William Wilberforce, he worked to outlaw British slave trading, which was accomplished in 1807, nine months before Newton’s death.
So with the goal of providing a concise Scriptural understanding of salvation by Grace—and Grace Alone—I have chosen 16 Scriptural passages to sharpen our understanding of this enormously important truth.
Marie Dorion Really Had “True Grit”!
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
(I’m indebted to an article in the November/December 2018 Daughters of the American Revolution magazine, American Spirit, entitled: “On The Oregon Trail”, by Bill Hudgins, for first bringing to my attention the now almost forgotten American hero, Marie Aioe Dorion (ca. 1786-1850), and from which article I quote and paraphrase freely. Other sources from which I quote somewhat freely will be listed at the end of this article.)
This unique 64 or 65-year-old woman was buried beneath the altar inside the old wood-logged Roman Catholic church in St. Louis, Oregon on Sept. 6, 1850. This was undoubtedly a great honor at the time. Marie Aioe Dorion Venier Toupin (as she is identified by Wikipedia), was known in her latter years by her fellow settlers in the Willamette Valley in Oregon as “Madame Dorion”, and it was said that “she was looked up to and revered as an extraordinary woman, the oldest in the neighborhood, kindly, patient and devout”. Those “extraordinary” accomplishments of Marie Dorion were well known to many Americans of the 19th century, but except for a few history buffs, her name is virtually unknown today in the country that she helped open to the vast migration from east to west that occurred during most of the 19th century. Prior to the Hudgins article, I had never heard of her.
Christian Foreign Policy and George Washington as Philosopher
- Details
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
"First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." That is how one of George Washington's famous lieutenants, Henry "Light-Horse Harry" Lee, the father of Robert E. Lee, aptly and poetically described Washington -- the great Southerner, the great Virginian, the great Christian man and master of Mount Vernon. Above all, Washington was the great American soldier and statesman who, with others, secured the political independence of the American States upon their secession from the British Empire.
Since his death in 1799, much has been written on George Washington (1732-1799). But still, over two centuries after his passing, no writer has fully captured by description the whole man in his spirit and genius. And this is so because of the native power of the man himself and the wide diversity of his gifts, combined with the relative narrowness of focus of modern historians. Writers have understandably focused on Washington's remarkable and exciting military and political careers. In the process though, they have neglected Washington the intellect and thinker.

Released Israeli Hostage Recounts Barbarous Details of His Imprisonment
- Details
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
Tal Shoham and his family were visiting his in-laws for Sukkot (the Feast of Booths) when, in the early morning hours of October 7, 2023, radical Islamist terrorists burst into the unsuspecting kibbutz, changing his life and the lives of his family forever. For 505 days, Shoham endured ridicule, deprivation, uncertainty, and abuse until his release on February 22, 2025.
Taken to Gaza
“The terrorists just came, dozens of them, fully armed, to an unarmed community in the kibbutz,” Shoham related at Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C. “After they broke into the room, they took me out first,” he said. “They threw me into a trunk of a car and just drove to Gaza.”
A Full Estimate of the Odds Against Abiogenesis
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
In determining the probability of abiogenesis occurring it is necessary to break the problem into at least two parts, there may be more, but it always helps to be as generous as possible on this topic because it gives evolutionists less wiggle room. These two parts are the probability of getting the necessary pieces in the same place and time and the odds of getting it assembled into a functioning living cell. Limiting it to these two steps is being extremely generous. This is because as you add steps the probability against it goes up exponentially.
Are You Prepared to Fight for Your Own Freedom?

- By Tom DeWeese - American Policy Center
I live in Virginia – but OHIO is my home! I was born and raised in the small city of Newark. My first political action began in 1968 when I founded Youth For Fair Government. I gave my first speech to a committee of the Ohio Senate for a bill I had helped to create.
In 1969, I Founded Licking County Youth for Decency In America. We actually organized one of the nation’s first volunteer walkathon charities – we called it Miles for Millions.
In 1974, I ran for a seat in the Ohio Legislature to represent the 30th House District. It was a slim little district covering Ohio State University, basically designed for a radical leftist. And the incumbent fit the bill perfectly. I didn’t win in that year of Watergate when Republicans were wiped out across the country. But for ten years after I held the record for doing the best against the incumbent.
Why the CBO Almost Always Gets It Wrong
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
These days it seems that a mysterious group called "the CBO" rules the world, or at least Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, it's not very good at predicting things, and its bad calls can lead to bad policy results.
The Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation predict what will happen with spending, tax revenues and deficits from new bills and congressional budgets.
They have made headlines with their absurd warning that the Trump tax bill to extend the 2017 tax cuts and other reforms like eliminating taxes on tips would add trillions to the debt over 10 years.

Clean out the Rot at the Top
Imagine if, during the height of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, a situation where our premier American university educated the Russian elite of the Communist Party. These undercover spies — pretending to be students — would have learned a great deal about America and Americans, so that when they returned to their mother country, they would be ready to implement the Soviet goal of burying the United States. If that had happened, would Ronald Reagan have been able to defeat the USSR and tear down the Berlin Wall? Such a scandalous scenario in the 1950s and 1960s is hard to imagine because Americans then understood the existential threat of communism.
Importance of Jesus's Death and Resurrection
- Details
- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
There is no way for any human being to experience the forgiveness of sins or receive eternal spiritual life with God without an affirmative trust and faith in the physical death on the cross and actual physical resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Son of Man. It is Jesus’ death and resurrection plus nothing that saves and opens entry into eternal spiritual life. It is an un-earnable but incredibly loving gift from God! If it did not occur man has no hope before God for eternal spiritual life and the rest of Christianity taught is a useless “religion” before God for reconciliation! All we, individually, can give God is FAITH AND TRUST in all He says. The Koran, as did Satin in the Garden, denies all that Jesus taught about Himself! Satin called God a liar in the Old Testament, In the New Testament, through the Koren, Satan calls Jesus a liar. Satin then and now is the liar!
‘Buyer’s Remorse’: Support for Same-Sex Agenda Craters among Republicans
- Details
- By S.A. McCarthy - The Washington Stand
A new poll is showing that support for same-sex marriage has dropped to a 10-year low among Republicans but spiked to a record high among Democrats. According to Gallup, 68% of Americans overall support same-sex marriage, barely down from 69% last year. However, that “steady” level of support — approval for same-sex marriage has hovered between 67% and 71% over the past five years and has not fallen below 50% since 2011 — belies a stark and rapidly-growing political division.
False Narratives on Russia Drive Expanded War Dangers
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Ignorance Is Not Strength
Widely accepted false narratives on Russia and the Ukraine War are driving the U.S. and Western Europe toward dangerously expanded war, further destruction of Ukraine, and eroded support for Trump and Republican majorities in Congress.
The Communist Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991, and most of it became the Russian Federation. Boris Yeltsin became President of the Russian Federation in June 1991 with 54 percent of the vote against just over 40 percent for the Communist candidate. He won again with 54 percent in 1996 with the Communist candidate rounding up to 41 percent. Russian (and Ukrainian) elections have a “none of the above” choice on the ballot. Yeltsin ran as an independent, but was generally aligned with right-of-center and liberal free-market economy reform supporters. In August 1999, Yeltsin replaced his prime minister, and appointed Vladimir Putin his Prime Minister and heir apparent. Putin was even more inclined to free-market economic and political reform than Yeltsin. Yeltsin resigned as president on December 31, 1999, and appointed Putin his interim successor. Putin was elected President of Russia in May 2000 with just over 53 percent of the vote. The Communist candidate received just 29.5 percent of the vote. Boris Yeltsin died in 2007.

WISE MEN SEEKING JESUS, a poem by James T. East (1860-1937)
“Wise men seeking Jesus traveled from afar,
Guided in their journey by a wondrous star.
But if we desire Him, He is close at hand,
For our native country is our holy land.
Prayerful souls may find Him by our quiet lakes,
Meet Him on our hillsides when the dawning breaks.
In our fertile wheat fields where the sheaves are bound,
In our busy markets Jesus may be found.
Is Creationism Pseudoscience?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionists often referred to creationism as pseudoscience. While there are some areas of thought that fall under the legitimate use of the word pseudoscience, it is primarily used in practice as a derogatory term, rather than any legitimate meaning to the word. The question before us is does creationism qualify as a pseudoscience. Do creationists engage in actual scientific activity? Part of the problem turns out to be the way evolution is defined both scientific activity and evidence. It produces the illusion that their side has all the evidence in creationists or any other perspective for that matte,r has none.
Bear Activity Alert in District 19
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
Recently, I was contacted by a friend and constituent who reported increased bear sightings in District 19. These sightings are not isolated, and it’s clear that black bear activity is on the rise in several parts of the county, particularly in areas where development is expanding into what were previously more rural, wooded zones.
I take these concerns seriously and want residents to know that your safety, and the safety of our local wildlife, is a top priority. I also recognize that some of this increase in bear presence is directly tied to our growth as a county. As we continue refining our development practices this year, we will keep wildlife impacts front of mind to ensure we’re being responsible stewards of the land and our natural neighbors.
STOP Being Comfortably Numb

The hypocrisy related to the national security issue of illegals pouring into America is almost unbelievable. But the long-standing pattern of socialism mouthed by Democrats, liberal Republicans along with Washington, DC establishment who have moved towards Marxism makes the issue clearer. ALL are against President Trump for any steps to secure our national borders; against any action he has and is taking to secure our homeland. The loudmouth Marxists who, until now, have gotten away with their flowery rhetoric are appalled at Trump and his mean-spirited actions and decrees. Really!?
UK Declares ‘War-Fighting Readiness’ in Major Defense Shift Amid Rising Russian Threats (Investigation)
- Details
- By Worthy News Europe Bureau Staff
LONDON (Worthy News) – British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a sweeping overhaul of the United Kingdom’s defense posture on Monday, declaring that the country is moving into a state of “war-fighting readiness” in response to rising global threats, particularly from Russia.
Speaking at BAE Systems’ Govan shipyard in Glasgow, Starmer unveiled a Strategic Defence Review that marks the most significant transformation of Britain’s armed forces in decades. “We are being directly threatened by states with advanced military forces,” Starmer said. “The most effective way to deter them is to be ready — and to show them that we’re ready — to deliver peace through strength.”
The review, led by former NATO Secretary-General George Robertson, recommends 62 reforms — all of which the government has accepted — aimed at reversing decades of defense decline and addressing the post-Cold War complacency. Starmer declared that Britain’s military must be “more integrated, more ready, more lethal than ever,” and emphasized a rearmament effort that he said would deliver a “defense dividend” of jobs and manufacturing growth.
