Will the Democrats Move to the Center?
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
Now that Democrats are on the doorstep of power, will the extreme left of the party move forward with its agenda, or will there be push back from more moderate corners?
Over the past few months, we have seen the rise of social movements with a distinctively left agenda. What has empowered many of these movements is the support, whether overt or tacit, from the Democratic party. Biden’s victory seems to have shown that a great many people in our country are ready for, or are open to, just such agendas.

- By Randy Page - BJU

The programming contest associated with the annual Consortium for Computing Sciences-Southeastern Region (CCSC-SE) regional conference was hosted by the University of North Carolina at Asheville.

Top Lawmakers’ Campaign Spending Didn’t Stop with Re-election
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Over the last three months of 2020, the November general election wasn’t the only expense that top S.C. lawmakers covered with campaign funds.
The Nerve’s review of the latest campaign-spending reports filed this month by Senate and House leaders found that a number of them spent some of their campaign funds on sponsorships and other donations to their favorite charities, membership dues to various organizations, and gifts to their staffs or constituents.
SALTY Sez – Absolute Power
- By Ray Simmons
I see these stupid land-lubbers have taken over the Ship of State and aimed it at the Swamp and the shoals, determined to sink it and the freedoms it carries. This shouldn’t be a surprise to the voters and the Media that elected them, they plainly stated what their programs would be if they could get the power. And they are moving rapidly to accomplish those goals. States that have patriots in their governorships and their legislatures need to join forces in their efforts to retain the rights the federal Constitution says they have. Citizen patriots need to let their State officials know they will support such efforts.

- By Christian Newswire
Catholic World Report was locked out on Sunday for using the term 'biological male' to describe Biden appointee
SAN FRANCISCO -- On Sunday, Jan. 24, Catholic World Report received a notice from Twitter, alerting it that its account had been suspended for hateful conduct, and unless it removed the offending tweet, its account would remain suspended.
Is the Establishment Still Terrified of Trump?
- By Pat Buchanan
As soon as the Senate received the lone article of impeachment accusing President Donald Trump of "incitement of insurrection" in the Jan. 6 mob assault on the Capitol, Rand Paul rose to object.
The Senate, he said, has no right to try a private citizen, which Trump now is. Thus, what we are about to do is flatly unconstitutional.
Forty-five of 50 Republican members agreed with Paul's motion.
The Left's Ongoing Campaign to Denigrate Trump Supporters
- By David Limbaugh
If the first week of leftist insanity gushing from President Joe Biden's executive pen doesn't vindicate Donald Trump's supporters in full measure, I don't know what could. Scratch that. There is much more to come.
Trump supporters have long touted the former president's impressive policy achievements as proof they were wise in supporting him and correct that an outsider could get results.
Dems Ignore Our Constitution ... Again
- By Eagle Forum
This past Monday at 7 p.m. eastern, the House managers walked the Articles of Impeachment down to the Senate chamber. This officially marked the formal process of impeachment in the Senate.
The delivery comes from negotiations between now Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Further, the negotiated schedule included a two-week delayed start date of February 8. According to Politico, the rules also stipulate that President Trump’s legal team “will have until February 2 to answer the articles and House managers will submit their pre-trial brief the same day. Trump’s pre-trial brief will then be due February 8 and the House will have until February 9 for their rebuttal, which will allow for the trial to officially begin.”
Biden Stiffs the Pope
- By Bill Donohue - Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights
On November 12, Pope Francis called President-elect Joe Biden to congratulate him on his electoral victory. He surely thought that the incoming president would make Catholics proud to have one of their own in the White House. One wonders what the Holy Father now thinks of Biden.
On January 28, the White House announced that Biden will issue an executive order that rescinds the Mexico City Policy, the rule that bars U.S. foreign aid to international non-profit organizations that provide for abortion or abortion counseling. This policy was first implemented by President Ronald Reagan in 1984 and has been revoked or reinstated by Democratic and Republican administrations, respectively, since that time.

The Georgia SCV's 10 Law Suits Defending Confederate Monuments and the First Amendment: Synopses and Updates
- By Gene Kizer, Jr., Charleston Athenaeum Press
[Publisher's Note, by Gene Kizer, Jr. : Lysander Spooner (1808-1887) was a "Champion of Liberty, a lawyer, abolitionist, entrepreneur, legal theorist and scholar" according to the plaque on his birthplace in Athol, Massachusetts. He's known for setting up a post office to compete with the government but it was shut down. He is author of a number of famous works including No Treason., and The Unconstitutionality of Slavery. He is still influential in libertarian circles and was cited in two United States Supreme Court Cases recently. Justice Antonin Scalia cited him in District of Columbia v. Heller, which struck down Washington, DC's ban on handguns in 2008. Justice Clarence Thomas cited him in McDonald v. Chicago, a 2009 firearms case.
Health Agency Slowly Spending Covid Money
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
A state House proposal would send an additional $63 million out of state surplus funds to the Department of Health and Environmental Control to speed up COVID-19 vaccinations and continue testing statewide.
But DHEC has spent only about 60% of the $45 million in state surplus funds awarded to the agency last March to combat the coronavirus, and less than a third of the collective $261 million in federal funding received since the outbreak hit South Carolina, The Nerve found in a review of the agency’s latest spending report.
Democrats Want a 'Return to Civility'; When Did They Practice It?
- By Larry Elder
A 2020 Joe Biden campaign ad described the pending election as an "opportunity to leave the dark, angry politics of the past behind us." After Biden's election, he, Democrats and media urge a "return to civility." But when did the Democrats practice the very civility to which they seek to return?
Woke Companies Try to Smother MyPillow
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
If the cancel culture thought they'd have a pushover in Mike Lindell, they were mistaken. The MyPillow founder has never lost any sleep over the Left's attacks -- and he doesn't plan to start now. When a handful of companies decided to drop the popular line over Mike's concerns over the 2020 election, he wasn't rattled. He just vowed to stand taller for any business who might be next.
The Matter of Tori Rose Smith's Life
- By Michelle Malkin
Victoria "Tori" Rose Smith lived a tragically short life. Three years. That's less than 200 weeks on this earth. She was a girly girl who sported oversized bows in her straw-blonde hair and a megawatt smile on her face. A great-aunt described the blue-eyed baby as "bubbly," "sassy" and "full of life" despite bouncing around foster homes for much of her brief existence.
Biden's Anti-Unity Agenda
- By Star Parker
President Joe Biden focused on the theme of unity in his inaugural address.
"Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this: bringing America together, uniting our people and uniting our nation," he said.
It sounds so nice. But only a career politician can be this disingenuous and speak the words as if he were so, so sincere.
Botched Abortions DO Happen
- By Eagle Forum
This week, Washington looks quite different than normal in the days leading up to the annual March for Life. The Capitol and the blocks around it have been made into a fortress, complete with barb-wired fencing and barred roads. If the March for Life wasn’t virtual, it seems all but impossible that the tens of thousands of marchers would be able to meet with their lawmakers at the end of the March for Life to discuss the great need for pro-life legislation.
Biden: Military's 'Special Operations' to Include Gender Surgery
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
If there was a honeymoon, it's over. Less than a week into the administration that isn't Donald Trump's, a surprising number of Americans are already regretting his replacement. Within hours of his swearing in, Joe Biden got right to work -- alienating core constituencies with his attacks on oil, energy, unions, jobs, and women. Industries that had lined up to support the Democrat were stunned. What happened to the moderate president they were promised? When Biden said he'd unite America, no one knew it would be against him.
Coexistence or Cold War with China?
- By Pat Buchanan
"The United States acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China. The United States... does not challenge that position."
Thus did President Nixon, in the Shanghai Communique of 1972, accept China's territorial claim to the island of Taiwan.

Join us for RINO Hunt's January Meeting this Evening
- By Press Release
Please plan to join RINO Hunt as they kick off 2021 with their first meeting of the year.
"For those of us who attend the County Delegation meetings, its become clear that most of our lawmakers do not want to hear from us.
Whether its limiting the capacity of the meetings or refusing to meet with us face-to-face afterwards, they've pulled out all the stops to keep us from confronting them.
Instead of trying to meet them on THEIR turf, its time to bring them onto OUR turf.
That's why I have invited many of our state legislators to attend this month's meeting.
Not for them to tell us what they can (and can't) do.
But for them to listen to us about what we demand they do.
- Restore our gun rights.
- Fix our roads.
- End corruption.
This evening, Monday, January 25, you can tell the politicians your agenda.
You don't want to miss it.
Go HERE to let them know you are coming.

The Electiongate Coverup by Democrats & RINOS in Congress
- By Frank Raddish - Founder/Director Capitol Hill Independent Baptist Ministries
No matter how they continue to try through disinformation and deceit, the fact remains that the 2020 general election was not conducted as set forth by our US Constitution. This can only mean that it was not an open and fair election. There were gross election irregularities and fraud in the following states: Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. Article 1, Section 4 of our US Constitution says, "The state legislatures set the time, places, and manner of holding elections.…" The judicial or executive branches of state government do not have the authority to do this as was done in several cases in the November 2020 General Election.
Satan’s War on Christianity and Christians Is Alive and Well
- By W.H. Lamb
“Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society”!
(Rev. D. James Kennedy (1930-2007), late President of Coral Ridge Ministries, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.)
During his life and ministry, Dennis James Kennedy was one of my “heroes of the faith”. Thirteen years after his death in 2007, he still is one of my greatest faith heroes. Once, he said: “When you have an immoral society that has blatantly, proudly, violated all of the Commandments of God, there is one last virtue they insist upon: Tolerance for their immorality.” Truer words have seldom been spoken, because this sick and warped “tolerance” for immorality and hatred of Christianity and real Christians has been infecting our national culture with increasing ferocity over recent decades and, in fact, this hatred has been in the forefront of the plans pushed by those who have proclaimed allegiance to their leftist/progressive/socialist dogma at least since the late 18th century.
'We Have to Stop Pretending Public Schools Aren't Bad'
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
There've been plenty of issues over the last year and a half where Democrats have had to "bring Joe Biden along." Whether it was the Hyde amendment, socialized medicine, or religious tests, the Democrat had to move several clicks to the Left to meet the party's radical new standard. That was never the case with the LGBT agenda. In fact, you could make the argument that when it comes to things like transgenderism, it's Biden doing the pulling. And his first day behind the Resolute Desk proved it.
The Federal Government’s Poor Treatment of the National Guard Must Be Investigated!
- By Eagle Forum
If you ever needed proof that our federal government is terrible at coordinating a response to crisis situations, the evidence lies in how they are currently treating the National Guard. After the Capitol riot, thousands of National Guard troops were sent to Washington, D.C. to protect federal buildings during the Inaugural events. Immediately upon arrival, Guardsmen were given nowhere to rest. They were forced to sleep on the floor of the Capitol Visitor’s Center after 12-hour shifts. After lawmakers decried this situation, many were given cots and other accommodations.
Plenty of Pork in Governor’s Proposed State Spending Plan
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
In touting Gov. Henry McMaster’s proposed fiscal 2022 state budget, his office in a recent news release contended it “significantly invests in the state’s core functions of government” while “maintaining his commitment” to “fiscally responsible practices.”
But although emergency spending in response to the coronavirus outbreak in South Carolina likely will continue in the fiscal year that starts July 1, McMaster’s proposed nearly $30.8 billion state budget also contains a number of pricey, questionable items, a review by The Nerve found, including, for example:
