FY 27: Another year of big state spending?
- Details
- By Sam Aaron - SC Policy Council
On Monday, S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster released his proposed state spending plan for fiscal year 2027, which starts July 1.
His state budget proposal outlines several familiar policy priorities, including teacher pay raises, additional infrastructure funding, and an extension of the in-state tuition freeze.
So how does this budget shape up compared to last year's final figures?
HRC’s Corporate Influence Collapses, as Fortune 500 Companies Flee the LGBT Cause

- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
Three years ago, if you’d asked the smartest conservatives in the room what it would take to change corporate America, nobody would’ve guessed six beer cans. But looking back, one of the best things that’s ever happened in this century will also go down as one of the worst business decisions ever made. When Bud Light plastered Dylan Mylvaney’s face on a pack of cold ones, a switch flipped in this country — sparking a grassroots revolution that’s still turning woke brands on its head. And while it’s gratifying to see the power shift from cocky CEOs to the people, what’s even better is seeing the bully behind it all crumble.

Secession, Tariffs, Sectionalism, Southern Rights, Slavery, Truth, Defeated Valor
One of my favorite quotes revealing the real causes of Southern secessions from the United States, beginning with South Carolina on December 20, 1860, and leading to six other secessions and Confederate artillery batteries in Charleston bombarding Union held Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, is an early November editorial in the Charleston Mercury. On November 4, 1860, just two days before Lincoln’s election in November 6, the Charleston Mercury summed up the feeling of South Carolina on the impending national crisis:
“The real causes of dissatisfaction in the South with the North, are in the unjust taxation and expenditure of the taxes by the Government of the United States, and in the revolution the North has effected in this government, from a confederated republic to a national sectional despotism.”
Does The Final Cruise of S.S. Britanis Provide a Warning For America?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
She was launched in 1932 and christened as the S.S. MONTEREY by Matson Lines. Over a 68 year illustrious life, with several different cruise line owners, she became the oldest continuously operated (with a few layup years) cruise ship afloat. Over all those years, when “cruising” became in turn very popular and, when air travel became faster, safer, and less expensive, almost dead for a time, she kept being retrofitted and modernized, often with spare parts from her scrapped sister ships. Her beautiful and majestic lines were known by various names over those decades (Monterey, Matsonia, Lurline, Britanis, and finally, as Belofin). On our one and only cruise on her in December, 1990, my wife and I knew and loved her as S.S.BRITANIS, and that’s what she’ll always be in our memories. We had a wonderful week on her, and we got to know every foot of her historic teak decks, inside and out.
Catastrophic Plate Tectonics
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Catastrophic Plate Tectonics is a proposed geophysical model that is most commonly associated with young-Earth creationist frameworks. It explains large-scale geological features such as mountain ranges, ocean basins, sedimentary layers, fossils, and continental distribution through rapid, large-magnitude plate motions occurring over a very short timescale. This timescale ranges from months to a few years, rather than the millions of years required by conventional plate tectonics.
Catastrophic Plate Tectonics does an excellent job of modeling the global flood described in the book of Genesis in the Bible. It not only fits the description in the Bible but also explains how such a global flood is possible.

The Semiquincentennial is Here
The inspiring words of the Declaration of Independence changed the course of world history. On July 4, 1776, a nation was born from that Declaration. ‘It stands forever, a light of admonition to the rulers of men; a light of salvation and redemption to the oppressed.’ So said John Quincy Adams on its 45th anniversary.
As we prepare to celebrate our Nation’s 250th birthday, Eagle Forum is honored to join the America 250 Civics Education Coalition (also called the Freedom 250 Coalition) to work with Secretary of Education Linda McMahon and over 60 other organizations to ensure Americans understand our legacy, recommit ourselves to its ideals, and work tirelessly to strengthen our future. Here are resources and opportunities to begin using today to get the party started.
The Immigration Crisis and the Question of Fairness
- Details
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
Between 1892 and 1954, 12 million people passed through the gates of Ellis Island in New York. These people were seeking freedom, a better and more prosperous life for themselves and for their children—and they wanted to be Americans.
No, they did not just want the title of being an American citizen, they wanted to truly adopt their new country; they wanted to know its history, customs, mores and status in the world.
Many, or most, were working class people with very little material possessions. But what they had was the inkling of the American ideal—that if you are honest and work hard, you will be rewarded.
Pray Safe Bill?

- By SC Freedom Caucus
The Devil's in the Details
A bill set to be voted on TODAY in the SC House sparked a fiery debate last week.
"The Pray Safe Act" provides government grants (up to $750,000 of taxpayer cash) to qualifying “private religious organizations” for safety improvements. With the rise in attacks on churches and synagogues from gunman, arsonists, and left wing protestors this may seem like a reasonable solution.
However, the devil is in the details.
This Little Light of Mine
- Details
- By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. - Arizona Today
The Bible depicts our world as a place of darkness – a world controlled by the “rulers of the darkness of this age” (Eph. 6:12). I sincerely think if you look around it would not be at all difficult to “see” the darkness across our nation, and across the world. In the midst of this spiritual night-time, the Christian must stand out in sharp contrast. Because we have been called “out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9), we have an important mission. The Lord said clearly, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matt 5:16).
The Blue-Collar Tax Hike: See How H.4216 Hits Your Household + Immediate Action Steps
- Details
- By Alaina Moore - Palmetto State Watch
The South Carolina legislature has come back to attempt passage of H.4216 which increases taxes for lower income families and eliminates all standard and itemized deductions. Legislators tried to push this through last year, as we sounded the alarm in previous reporting, but thankfully legislators were forced by the grassroots to hold off due to clear opposition. Now, they are back to finish what they started if you don’t act soon.
The Scary Details – Reverse Robin Hood
As described by former Rep. Jonathon Hill in his latest Bad Bill Sheet, H.4216 changes the state individual income tax in four major ways:
- Establishes two tax brackets: 1.99% for all incomes up to $30,000 a year and 5.39% for all other incomes.
- Eliminates all standard and itemized deductions.
- Add a graduated deduction of up to $30,000 for those earning less than $110,000.
- Conditionally lowers the top rate by 1% per year until it reaches 1.99%.
USPIE Joins Rep. Barry Moore in Introducing H.R. 2691 to Return Education to the States
- Details
- By USPIE
United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) has been working to close the U.S. Department of Education and return control to parents and local communities.
Most recently, the organization has been working with Congressman Barry Moore from Alabama, who introduced H.R. 2691 to abolish the U.S. Department of Education, end all federal education programs, and transfer funding to the states.
“USPIE has met with him and his staff and encouraged him,” said Melanie Kurdys, USPIE’s Michigan PIE president and board member. “We really want to get this done, without seeing key functions parceled out to other agencies. It’s time to pull the plug on the federal educational behemoth.”

Flat Earth, Round Earth, and the Bible’s Forgotten Clue

- By James Spurck, Publisher
How Scripture described the boundary between light and darkness long before modern astronomy gave it a name
For centuries, critics have claimed that the Bible reflects an ancient and primitive understanding of the universe and of science in general, assuming that modern science must correct what Scripture once misunderstood.
But what if that assumption is backwards?
The Bible and an Overlooked Astronomical Reality
Long before telescopes, satellites, or space travel, the Bible described a physical reality that modern astronomy would not formally explain or name until thousands of years later. One of the clearest examples is an ancient phenomenon that astronomers today call “the terminator.” No, I am not talking about Hollywood, futuristic machines, or even Arnold Schwarzenegger himself. I am referring to the real, observable boundary between light and darkness.
The South Carolina Policy Council’s 2026 Winter Poll
- Details
- By Sam Aaron - SC Policy Council
With the start of 2026, the second half of the legislative session is underway. Both new and existing proposals are moving through the South Carolina Statehouse. To provide lawmakers, members of the media, and the public with the most up-to-date insight into where likely South Carolina voters stand on key issues, such as taxes, judicial reform, and energy policy, the South Carolina Policy Council is releasing its latest policy poll.
The poll was conducted from January 24 to February 1 among 1,200 registered voters.
Taxes & Spending
This year, tax reform dominated the conversation at the Statehouse. Income tax reform, in particular, took center stage, with lawmakers debating whether to reduce or eliminate the tax altogether. But what do South Carolina voters think?
72% of voters supported reducing or eliminating the state income tax.
Columbia Thinks More Taxes, Not Concrete Will Fix Roads

Twenty-three lawmakers appointed by the Speaker to a special Committee traveled across the state (on your dime) for 6 public hearings to determine how to fix South Carolina’s crumbling roads.
Their answer—they need more of your money. No joke.
What was sold as a major Department of Transportation reform bill is in fact a confused amalgamation of tax hikes, long-overdue common sense reforms, and fiscally irresponsible proposals that would make matters worse.
Not to be outdone, the SC Senate has their own DOT reform bill that is even worse.
Ask Your Elected Officials to Vote in Favor of the SAVE America Act
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
The elections this November will determine who controls the House and Senate, and whether the conservative agenda we care so much about will be advanced or stopped in its tracks. Lawmakers must take steps NOW to ensure our federal elections are secure. Last year, the House passed the SAVE Act (H.R. 22) to require proof of citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections and allow states to access federal databases to clean up voter rolls. It simply clarifies and strengthens the current law. The bill has been stalled in the Senate for months. But we now have the opportunity to attach this language to the Homeland Security funding bill currently being negotiated in Congress, due to Democratic demands on immigration.
Stop Calling Them Democrats!

- By Allen West
It is time that we understand that there is a political party called Democratic, but that label, other than the jackass symbol, has nothing to do with who they are.
It is time that we understand that there is a political party called Democratic, but that label, other than the jackass symbol, has nothing to do with who they are. It is time we stop calling them Democrats and use references that align with their principles, values (or lack thereof), and political philosophy.
We should also stop calling Democrats liberals; they are not. True classical liberalism is that of its founder, John Locke, and can be found in his Second Treatise of Government, circa 1689. It was Locke whom Thomas Jefferson studied to frame our Declaration of Independence based on Locke’s Natural Rights Theory. It affirms that it is only natural that individual rights derive from the Judeo-Christian faith heritage of the Creator God—life, liberty, and property. Sadly, we have fallen under the toxic spell of leftists believing that they decide who will live, when you will die, determine your freedoms, and, as Cea Weaver has proclaimed, must redefine the essence of property ownership, which is, after all, a weapon of white supremacy.
Top 10 Misunderstandings About Creation Science
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Here are 10 of the most common misunderstandings about creation science, along with a brief explanation of each one. Each of these is frequently cited by evolutionists as a counterargument to creation science. There are many more, but this is a concise list of ten easy-to-understand misunderstandings. If you spend any amount of time on social media, you will likely see these ten misunderstandings being touted by evolutionists as fact, and many more.
1. Creation science is just religion disguised as science
The misunderstanding is that creation science is purely theological and has no scientific component. However, creation science attempts to interpret empirical data (biology, geology, astronomy) within a creationist framework, often employing scientific methods but starting from different presuppositions than those of methodological naturalism. This is the key to understanding creation science, and that is that it involves accepting and looking at the data, but from a different perspective other than those that lead to the Big Bang to man story.

Ten Quotes from the Civil War
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Writing in December of 1861 in a London weekly publication, the famous English author, Charles Dickens, who was a strong opponent of slavery, said these things about the war going on in America:
“The Northern onslaught upon slavery is no more than a piece of specious humbug disguised to conceal its desire for economic control of the United States.”
Karl Marx, like most European socialists of the time, favored the North. In an 1861 article published in England, he articulated very well what the major British newspapers, the Times, the Economist, and Saturday Review, had been saying:
“The war between the North and South is a tariff war. The war, is further, not for any principle, does not touch the question of slavery, and in fact turns on the Northern lust for power.”

Newberry Judge Request Sworn Medical Affidavits and Sets Near-Term Deadline in Jeff Davis Case
- Details
- By James Spurck, Publisher
“This Court is at a loss as to why the Plaintiff’s (Jeff Davis) present medical situation exists when four doctors agreed that full recovery should have already occurred.”
A Newberry County Circuit Court judge has issued a new order in the long-running civil case involving the current Greenville County Republican Party Chairman, Jeff Davis, requiring sworn medical affidavits to justify continued delays in court proceedings.
This time, Circuit Court Judge Donald B. Hocker issued the order without a hearing, marking the fourth order entered since the South Carolina Court of Appeals issued guidance in late 2024.
In a prior order issued in May 2025, the court anticipated scheduling a hearing on pending appellate stay matters by November 2025 based on medical opinions from treating physicians indicating Davis would be able to resume normal activities. When the court recently attempted to schedule a hearing, Davis reported that he could not attend due to ongoing medical treatment.
Greenland Defense and Arctic Economic Development
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
From Erik the Red to Pituffik Space Base
If you look at a global map centered on the North Pole, you will notice that Russia has the largest exposure to the Arctic Ocean, nearly 50 percent. Advancing technology or warmer climate could result in more viable Arctic seaports and trade passages to both the North Atlantic and Northwest Pacific, cutting down the time and possibly the cost of shipping goods. The United States, especially Alaska, Canada, and the Scandinavian countries could also benefit from such expanded, shorter, and cheaper trade routes.
Moreover, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, resource basins within the Arctic Circle (North of 66.5 Latitude) contain 13 percent of the world’s undiscovered oil and 30 percent of the world’s undiscovered natural gas. Currently, developing these resources would cost 50 to 100 percent more than in Texas, but technologies to reduce costs are developing rapidly. The Russians and others are pouring investments into Arctic infrastructure and extraction technology. The Arctic resource basins are also rich in phosphate, bauxite (for aluminum), iron ore, copper, nickel, diamonds, gold, zinc, and palladium.
These Are The New Times That Are “Trying Our Souls”! This Is Our New “American Crisis”!

If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands I will give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of Earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.”
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 NIV (Deuteronomy was George Washington’s favorite Book of the Bible).
THE AMERICAN CRISIS: COMMON SENSE No. 1 (Jan. 1776), by Thomas Paine (An excerpt)
“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated….
The Iranian Dilemma

Political and Military Tensions in West Asia
The population of Iran was 92.5 million in 2025. It has the 17th largest population among the nations of the world, and is also the 17th largest in geographical area. It was known as Persia until 1935. According to the Library of Congress, only 65 percent of its population is ethnically Persian. Some estimates have Iran at only 51 percent Persian. The principal minorities, according to the Library of Congress, are Azerbaijanis, 16 percent; Kurds, 7 percent; Lurs 6 percent; Arabs, 2 percent; and Balochis, 2 percent. Others include Turkic tribes, Armenians, Assyrians, and Georgians. There are also many Afghan refugees. Among the Armenians, Assyrians, and Georgians are between 250,000 and 370,000 Christians. However, the vast majority of all Iranians speak the Persian language.
Are You, As A Christian, Or A Person Of Faith, Involved In Politics? Should You Be?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Well, should you? That seems to be a somewhat divisive question of late. Perhaps it depends on how one defines “politics”. Should those of us who identify as Christians, particularly the “born-again variety”, or “People of Faith”, involve ourselves in the often dishonest and somewhat sordid and divisive “blood sport” known as “politics” throughout much of American history, and especially over the past century or so? Should we allow ourselves to be immersed, to one degree or another, in the “mud-slinging”, the invectives, the anger, the hurt feelings, the breakup of family and friends, even the unconstitutional violence that is being deliberately induced within our culture over recent decades—and especially in the past few years—indeed in this very day in parts of our nation being overwhelmed by Marxist/globalist insurrectionists---by the lovers of “politics”, most of it the leftist/progressive/communist version, as they confront the lovers of “constitutional government”, the form that was established for us by the men and women who founded this nation? Is a clash of civilizational survival imminent due to this fascination that a significant portion of humanity has with “politics” rather than with “principles”? Ah, those are questions to ponder, aren’t they? Let’s delve into it.
