- Details
- By Alaina Moore - United Patriots Alliance
Three huge South Carolina legislative primaries wrapped up in November that resulted in a clean sweep of victories for anti-establishment candidates in Lexington, Greenville, and Spartanburg. However, these candidates still have a general election ahead of them scheduled for December 23rd, some facing write-in campaigns.
Former senator Lee Bright won SC Senate District 12 with 50.9% of the vote on October 21, 2025, beating former Spartanburg County clerk of court Hope Blackley and attorney Justin Bradley in the GOP primary for the seat that opened up after the resignation of senator Roger Nutt.

SC Courts Appear to Be Growing Frustrated with Jeff Davis’s Lawfare
The South Carolina Court of Appeals has declined to dismiss or vacate a contempt order against Greenville County Republican Party Chairman Jeff Davis. This decision upholds a ruling that requires him to serve 90 days in jail or pay nearly $40,000 in attorney’s fees. It also marks the latest chapter in a years-long legal battle stemming from Davis’s defamation lawsuits against political consultant Chad Connelly and others.
Davis is known for using frivolous lawfare against his political opponents and for abusing the use of unnamed John Does across various counties in South Carolina. With one of those in 2020, he filed multiple libel lawsuits in Newberry County against Connelly and other figures connected to South Carolina’s Exceptional SC scholarship program. The suits claimed defamation and misconduct but were dismissed by the circuit court.
The Trump 2025 National Security Strategy
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Dated November 2025 and Released December 4
Selected Passages and Commentary
The Trump 2025 National Security Strategy is radically different from past annual National Security Strategy documents. Although it narrows core national interests, it is far more comprehensive on the economic and social environment necessary for renewed national energy and true national security. Immigration and the nation’s traditional family, moral, and spiritual strengths are rightly elevated to important aspects of national well-being and national security. Increased emphasis is given to economic, financial, and industrial strengths. It also rightly re-joins foreign policy and defense policy. Clausewitz (1780-1831), who wrote On War 1816-1831 and fought against Napoleon with the Russian Army at Borodino in 1812, would be pleased.
Are We A Nation Under God? Were We Ever? – Part 1

A SERMON:
“THIS IS A CHRISTIAN NATION”—U.S. SUPREME COURT—1892
“There is no doubt that this is a nation which was built upon the Christian faith—that the Lord, indeed, was the God of this nation, that it was founded upon the principles of God’s Word, upon the teachings of Christianity, and for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ. All these things are well documented, in the charters of the original colonies, in the original compacts (like the famous Mayflower Compact <that three of my wife’s ancestors signed--whl>, covenants, and constitutions. When the Supreme Court looked into the matter in 1892, poring over all the original documents, they concluded with one unanimous, unambiguous voice: ‘This is a Christian nation.’” - Rev. D. James Kennedy
Hydroplate, Plate Tectonics

Combining Hydroplate Theory and Catastrophic Plate Tectonics
There are two major flood models, both of which have made some successful predictions, and both of which explain things that we observe both on Earth and in space. It turns out that there is a possible way of combining them into one workable model. Furthermore, it should be able to explain not only what each of the original models does but possibly even more.
The elements from Hydroplate Theory consist of a massive underground reservoir of water, which serves as the water source for both the rain and the flood itself. This reservoir would have been underneath the continental crust, sandwiched between it and a layer of basalt, similar to that of the oceanic crust. At the beginning of the flood, this underground reservoir would have cracked open, shooting out large amounts of water, some of which would have been ejected into space, some of which would have fallen as rain, and the rest would have gone over the continents as they spread apart.
Student Recruitment Industry Booms as Parents Reject Failing Government-run Classrooms
- Details
- By USPIE
Choosing another government school won’t protect your child from the woke ideologies of DEI, LGBTQ+ or CRT. Taking children out of government schools and educating them on your own dime is the only way to educate and protect them.
So many parents are dissatisfied with their local government schools that a K-12 student recruitment company is raking in millions by persuading parents to transfer their children to a different failing government school.
“Caissa K12, based in Memphis, Tennessee, has been hired by school districts to recruit students as more parents opt for schools outside their neighborhood public school, causing enrollment numbers to plummet,” Fox News Digital reports.

“My vision for South Carolina is to get back to basics,” said 5th District Congressman and gubernatorial candidate Ralph Norman recently at First Monday, a Republican club in Greenville.
Norman, who announced his bid for governor in July, will be vying against several other GOP contenders for the state's highest office – ist District Congresswoman Nancy Mace, Attorney General Alan Wilson, Lieutenant Governor Pam Evette and State Senator Josh Kimbrell.
One of those basics is infrastructure. “We're going to put a priority on roads,” said Norman. He said that the state leads the nation in fatalities on secondary roads. He also mentioned the large number of unsafe bridges.
EU Warns US Security Strategy Boosts Far-Right Parties And Threatens Transatlantic Unity
- Details
- By Stefan J. Bos - Worthy News Europe Bureau Chief
BRUSSELS/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – European Union leaders have expressed deep concern about a new U.S. national security strategy that they view as “ideologically anti-European,” supportive of “far-right” and populist movements across the continent, and a threat to transatlantic unity.
The document, issued by the White House as President Donald J. Trump’s official National Security Strategy, warns that Europe is facing what it calls “civilizational erasure,” accusing EU institutions and “other transnational bodies” of “undermining sovereignty” and contributing to a “loss of national identities and self-confidence.”

State costs grow to $12.5M related to probes of disputed $1.8B
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
The state-funded tab for investigations of and other matters related to the disputed $1.8 billion has grown to more than $12.5 million, according to the latest records reviewed by The Nerve.
The new tally, which is based on records obtained under the S.C. Freedom of Information Act, is nearly $1.3 million, or 11%, more than the total revealed by The Nerve in August.
To put the $12.52 million into perspective, it’s more than the entire current budgets of at least 19 state agencies or major divisions. That includes, for example, the State Ethics and Public Service commissions, Inspector General’s and Secretary of State’s offices, and the Legislative Audit Council – the General Assembly’s investigative arm.
It’s also more than the overall budgets of the State Auditor’s and Comptroller General’s offices – two of the six agencies that have racked up legal fees or other costs in connection with the disputed $1.8 billion or related issues.
EXPOSED: Abortion Org Caught on Hidden Camera Smuggling 15-Year-Old Girl Across South Carolina for Secret Abortion Against Parents’ Consent
- Details
- By Christian Newswire
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — The Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust have released explosive undercover footage showing a multi-state abortion fund, the Palmetto State Abortion Fund, (PSAF) secretly transporting a minor for an abortion, two hours away, despite the parent’s clear disapproval.
Jessica Newell, Survivors’ South Carolina Organizer, comments:
“The video we captured is chilling. PSAF knowingly and deliberately violated parental consent, arranged the pickup, drove her two hours, and offered to pay for the entire process. It’s intentional, calculated, and dangerous.”
Survivors’ undercover journalist posed as a 15-year-old and captured interactions with PSAF’s founder, staff, and a volunteer driver Kathryn Weir. Via a hidden camera, she captured the entire operation from being picked up at the Myrtle Beach Mall and being driven to Planned Parenthood in Charleston.
Gov’t Watchdog Scorched Biden Afghan Refugee Screening in 2022, Warned of ‘National Security’ Risks
- Details
- By Mark Tapscott - The Washington Post
Former President Joe Biden’s Afghan refugee screening process was blasted in 2022 by a devastating report by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General (IG) for lacking such basic information as a list of individuals who lacked “sufficient identification documents” and warned as a result of individuals being admitted into the country “who pose a risk to national security and to the safety of local communities.”
The report provides important context for officials and members of Congress as they assess and respond to the November 26 terrorist attack on the streets of the capital that killed one West Virginia National Guardsman and critically injured a second one.
Operation Bagration – 22 June to 19 August 1944
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Few Americans have ever heard of Operation Bagration, but it was the largest hammer and most crushing blow that led to the fall of Berlin and Nazi Germany on May 8, 1945. Its Allied counterpart was Operation Overlord that commenced on June 6, 1944, with the D-Day assault on the beaches of Normandy. Soviet Premier Joeseph Stalin had originally planned to commence Operation Bagration on the same day as Allied Operation Overlord. but British weather and Soviet logistics pushed the dates apart about two weeks. The objective of Operation Bagration was the total destruction of German Army Group Center occupying the Belarusian SSR. This would allow the Red Army to rout retreating Wehrmacht forces and crush Berlin and any remaining German resistance. German Army Group Center consisted of four German armies—the Second, Fourth, Ninth, and Third Panzer—with nearly 500,000 combat troops and another 350,000 support troops. On June 22, Soviet forces intially assigned to Operation Bagration came to almost 1.7 million troops with a 10-to-1 advantage in artillery and an 8-to-1 advantage in tanks. Soviet aircraft support was 5,300 versus 1,350 for the Germans. The manpower advantage for the Russians would quicky turn from 2-to-1 to 4-to-1.
As Christians, Where Are We To Set Our Hearts And Minds?

- By W.H. Lamb
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” - Colossians 3:1-2 (N.I.V.)
SHOULD GODLY PEOPLE CONCERN THEMSELVES WITH WHAT HAPPENS “IN THE WORLD”?
God’s Word seems clear enough on the surface. Christians, at least, are cautioned to not overly concern themselves with what goes on “in the world”, because while we are “in” the world, we are not to be a part “of” the world (or as some teach—the world “system”). The implications these admonitions have for Christians who have some degree of concern for what happens “in the world”—and especially in the country in which we live--have been cause for disputations and hurt feelings and possibly misinterpretations of motives for many generations, and even more so in our present society, which appears to be rapidly disintegrating around us, as the once strong influence of Christianity obviously is waning in our country due to the indifference of many who call themselves “Christian”, at the same time that the “Satanic Disciples of Godless Socialism/Marxism/Globalism” (Satan’s devoted followers—including the 7th Century Primitives of Islam) are infesting our body politic, shredding our culture, rampaging and pillaging in many of our cities and on many of our degenerate university campuses, and who appear to be in the ascendency. Are they?
Contact Your Congressman to Urge Opposition to Lousy Obamacare “Fix”
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
Democrats do not want you to know how much Obamacare really costs. From the time the program was created, they have masked its real costs with government subsidies. When the original supports were no longer enough to hide the high price tag, additional subsidies were added during the COVID-19 pandemic. These were intended to provide “temporary relief” and were set to expire at the end of the year. But the Left does not want them to end because then all Americans will know that Obamacare was a scam. This is why they shut down the government in October. After being unsuccessful by way of the shutdown, they are now forcing a vote to extend the subsidies in the U.S. House of Representatives. These funds do not go to individuals, but to insurance companies and can be used for abortion and transgender mutilation services.
If Young People Want More Affordability, They Should Get Jobs
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
Polls show that the age group of Americans most worried about "affordability" are the 20- and 30-somethings. That's young millennials and Gen Z.
Why are they so financially stressed out? One reason things seem so unaffordable to young people is that too many aren't working hard -- they are hardly working.
The latest Labor Department data indicate that fewer and fewer males between the ages 16 and 24 are in the labor force. It used to be that more than 70% had a job; now less than 60% do.
Labor force participation for men even into their 30s is at or near an all-time low. Men without jobs is a prescription for social chaos.
Boon or Burden? Google Invests $9B Into South Carolina Data Centers
- Details
- By Alaina Moore - United Patriots Alliance
Google announced that it plans to invest $9 billion into South Carolina to expand its Berkeley County data center and build two new sites in Dorchester County. However, with the recent laws passed by the SC legislature and new information that has been released about data centers in the Palmetto State, it looks like its citizens will once again be subsidizing another globalist corporation.
The Devil in the Details
Google has revealed that it is behind what has been known as “Project Dawson” data center proposals after at least 18 months of secrecy. The company plans to invest $510 million into a 231-acre site in Dorchester County’s Pine Hill Business Campus. Google accomplished this deal behind the company names of Autumn Timber LLC and Mallard LLC, the former based out of Delaware. Dorchester County Council voted unanimously to rezone the land. According to the Post & Courier, just last fall “the county approved a package of tax breaks, a water-service agreement and a real estate transaction to seal the deal.”

Greene Puts the Squeeze on Republicans ahead of Midterm Mayhem

- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
The soap opera that is the U.S. House will be losing one of its leading ladies, and no one is more disappointed than the mainstream media. For five years, reporters ate up the drama that stuck to Georgia’s Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) almost as closely as her out-of-season tan. While the sudden, mid-term departure creates very real headaches for Republicans — and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in particular — MTG’s exit isn’t all bad news.
Tariffs in American History
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
An Unsettling Story of Economic Ignorance and Blind Greed
“Great is Diana of the Ephesians.”
George Washington signed the first U.S. Tariff bill in 1789 with an average tax on imports of about 5%. Tariffs ranged from about 6% to 15% until the Dallas Tariff in 1816 to repay the debt from the War of 1812. The Dallas tariff of 1816 was also a Protective Tariff to protect new American industry from foreign competition. Tariffs were considered the simplest, quickest, and least objectionable way to raise government funds. True enough for the time, but the “American System” of Economics and Tariffs turned out to be corruptible, because political leaders can be corrupt, partisan, and prone to shallow economic understanding. All human systems, including new AI systems, are subject to the human condition and its tendency toward self-centered moral blindness and hubris. Therein lie great dangers and potential disaster.

Top Problems with Abiogenesis
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Before moving forward, we need to define our terms. The term abiogenesis specifically refers to the concept that life came naturally from nonliving chemicals. Some people will try to make the case for abiogenesis by defining it to include the creation of life by God. However, here we are going to specifically use the term abiogenesis to refer to a totally naturalistic idea for the origin of life. That is, it excludes, by definition, the involvement of any intelligent agency, whether it is God or aliens. Our use of the term is going to refer exclusively to a totally naturalistic origin of life.

Congress Issues the THC Industry a Sobering Prohibition
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
Congress is back and open for business! Democrat Senators put on a big show during the Schumer Shutdown of keeping the government closed to extend failed Obamacare subsidies, give federal benefits to illegal aliens, and undo the progress of the One Big, Beautiful Bill. Republicans held the line and scored the win! The victory did not come without one final challenge, though.
Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) led an effort in House Agriculture bills to close a loophole that allowed farmers to harvest Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) from hemp. This particular form of THC has been incorporated into gummies, energy beverages, beers, lotions, and various other products, which can be found in widely accessible locations such as gas stations and convenience stores. The marijuana industry took advantage of the lack of federal regulations regarding Delta-8 THC to create a booming business that harms Americans’ health, especially young people.

The final text leaves open the possibility of future Palestinian statehood, but the near-term effect paves the way for the disarmament and replacement of Hamas.
