Golden Parachute for State Attorney General?
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Longtime state attorney general Alan Wilson could receive bigger retirement paychecks under legislation sponsored by two House leaders who also are lawyers.
The bill, sponsored by Reps. Murrell Smith, R-Sumter, who is the House Ways and Means Committee chairman, and Chris Murphy, R-Dorchester, who is the House Judiciary Committee chairman, would allow Wilson to move from the retirement system covering general state employees to the retirement system covering judges and solicitors, effective July 1.
'Cancel Culture' Strikes D. James Kennedy Ministries
- By Christian Newswire
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Lifetime TV demanded in February that D. James Kennedy Ministries (DJKM) eliminate all "controversial" content from Truths That Transform, its weekly half-hour Christian broadcast.
Specifically, Lifetime announced it would no longer air programming that addressed abortion or Left-wing financier George Soros. And it refused to carry any DJKM programming—even broadcasts celebrating George Washington—unless the media ministry founded in 1974 agreed to Lifetime's sweeping new conditions.

Military Anti-Extremism Order Fails to Identify the Target
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. A memo from President Biden's Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin directs commanders to conduct a "Stand-Down to Address Extremism in the Ranks." The goal, ostensibly, is to flush out people with extremist views from our nation's military. But the memo never defines "extremist or dissident ideologies."
Is Biden Prepared to Lose Afghanistan?
- By Pat Buchanan
Is President Joe Biden prepared to preside over the worst U.S. strategic defeat since the fall of Saigon in 1975?
For that may be what's at stake if Biden follows through on the 2020 peace deal with the Taliban to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan by May 1 -- just two months from now.
Consider. If the 2,500 American troops remaining in Afghanistan are pulled out, the entire 10,000-troop NATO contingent departs.

Senate Acquits Trump While Democrats Continue to Stew
- By Eagle Forum
This past weekend, the Senate wrapped up President Donald J. Trump’s second impeachment hearing. Unlike the President’s first Senate impeachment trial, which took about 3 weeks, this one was done in less than a week.
The House Managers’ defense took days to show their evidence. Their argument primarily rested in clips and screenshots of President Trump at rallies or his tweets and the January 6th Capitol insurrection. While the event at the Capitol was certainly lamentable, the Managers were unable to garner enough Republican support to prove that Trump’s influence led to the violence.
How the COVID-19 Censors Killed the Truth
- By Neil Patel
Estimates are all over the place, but it's now beyond dispute that Soviet policies in the 1930s led to the deaths of somewhere between 7 and 12 million Ukrainians (about the equivalent to killing every person in Michigan today). It's one of the greatest horrors in world history. The world knew little about the Ukrainian famine at the time. When independent journalists tried to get news out about the atrocity, they were accused of promoting conspiracy theories. Sound familiar? The New York Times, whose Moscow bureau led efforts to protect the Soviet Union and crush dissenting viewpoints, has since apologized for its role in suppressing news about the famine. Based on the media's handling of COVID-19 reporting today, however, it's clear we have forgotten any lessons once learned about the dangers of suppressing ideas and dissent on unproven matters the way the Times did to such tragic effect all those decades ago.
Gas Tax Credit Still Unpopular, State Concedes
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
An income tax credit that S.C. lawmakers created in 2017 to offset the state gasoline tax hike has been relatively unpopular so far, records show.
And state revenue forecasters are now admitting it.
After two years of wrongly predicting that taxpayers would claim the maximum-allowed amount of income tax credits, the state Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office (RFA) is predicting that taxpayers this year collectively will claim nearly $60 million less than the cap set by law, according to a letter from RFA director Frank Rainwater to Hartley Powell, director of the S.C. Department of Revenue (DOR).
Biden's Selective Interest in Human Rights
- By Bill Donohue - Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights
Today marks President Biden's first month in office. One of the main interests we have at the Catholic League is tracking how various administrations handle the issue of human rights. Though it is very early in his first term, some things are becoming quite clear.
President Biden used his first day in office to discuss human rights. However, he did not speak to this issue in a broad manner; rather, he limited his discussion to the rights of homosexuals and transgender persons. This tells us a great deal about his priorities.
What Left-Wing Educators Don't Teach During 'Black History Month'
- By Larry Elder
When will Black History Month be ... history?
Apart from the bizarre notion that educators should set aside one month to salute the historical achievements of one race apart from and above the historical achievements of other races, Black History Month appears to omit a lot of Black history.
About slavery, do our mostly left-wing educators teach that slavery was not unique to America and is as old as humankind? As economist and author Thomas Sowell says: "More whites were brought as slaves to North Africa than Blacks brought as slaves to the United States or to the 13 colonies from which it was formed. White slaves were still being bought and sold in the Ottoman Empire, decades after Blacks were freed in the United States."

Republicans Must Unify Against the Left
- By Star Parker
Former President Donald Trump captured the core of the problem in his official statement following his acquittal in the Senate impeachment trial: "It is a sad commentary on our times that one political party in America is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law, defame law enforcement, cheer mobs, excuse rioters, and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance, and persecute, blacklist, cancel and suppress all people and viewpoints with whom or which they disagree."
Green Energy Leaves America Out in the Cold in More Ways Than One
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
February gave Texas the cold shoulder this weekend as an extreme winter storm pounded the entire state. As of this morning, power had not been restored to more than 4 million Texans. Hundreds of thousands have also lost water after the water treatment plants in Fort Worth, Abilene, and elsewhere suffered power outages. A handful of deaths from the cold have already been reported, although we may not know the true toll until the state digs itself out.
Pregnant Women: Beware of COVID Shots
- By Michelle Malkin
Twenty years ago, when I was pregnant with my first child, I transformed into a total health nut. A lifelong couch potato, I started exercising, enrolled in Lamaze classes and even took vitamins for the first time. I halted my consumption of caffeine, Doritos, Spam and sushi. After decades of obliviousness to food labels, I began scrutinizing every additive and preservative listed in the teeny-tiny font on each item of my grocery list.
Will the Radical Left Reunite the GOP?
- By Pat Buchanan
"Our historic, patriotic and beautiful movement to Make America Great Again has only just begun." So said Citizen Trump Saturday on his acquittal by the Senate of the impeachment article of "incitement of insurrection" in the Jan 6 invasion of the Capitol.
"I look forward to continuing our incredible journey together to achieve American greatness for all our people," said Trump. "We have so much work ahead of us, and soon we will emerge with a vision for a bright, radiant and limitless American future."

Plans for Destroying America
- By Mike Scruggs
Consequences of Cultural Marxism
In Erwin Lutzer’s timely 2020 book, We Will Not Be Silenced, he lists five cultural channels which Cultural Marxists use to capture and enslave a nation—social, political, educational, religious, and family.
A Swedish friend explained the Marxist strategy to me a little differently as he described how the very leftist Social Democrats took over Sweden in the 1932 elections and were able transform the country for 44 years until the 1976 election. They are still the dominant party in Sweden, although greater center-right strength has now made Sweden one of the most free enterprise friendly economies in Europe. Swedish media, however, continues to be one of the most oppressively politically correct.
Honoria Revisited – Remembering The Late, Great Patriot, Taylor Caldwell
- By W.H. Lamb
LIVING AMONG THE “RUINS”
Alongside the road to Beaufort, S.C., near Yemassee, stand the still imposing ruins of Old Sheldon Church. Originally built between 1745 and 1753, it was used by American patriots during our Revolutionary War to store arms; hence it was burned down by the British in 1779, and rebuilt in 1826. Tradition has claimed that it was again burned and gutted by the marauding devils from General Sherman’s army of pillagers and despoilers during The War For Southern Independence, but fairly recent evidence in a letter from an on site visitor in 1866 claims that Old Sheldon was NOT burned down in 1865 by Yankees but was gutted by the locals after that war, and its materials used all over Beaufort, S.C.

How Black Lives Matter Got Played by Biden and Harris!
- By Kevin White
(Originally published Feb. 7, 2021 by Conservative Business Journal, and reprinted with permission.)
Black Lives Matter was a faithful backer of the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ticket for the 2020 election. They went to the mat, protested police, burned down cities, and Black-owned businesses, all for Joe Biden and kamala Harris.
Both Biden and Harris were all for their support which by their belief pushed the campaign over the top to win. The Black Lives Matter movement raised $10.6 billion in 2020 through their website. The contribution interface is nothing more than a link to actblue.com, also known as the Democrat party donation portal. BLM encourages visitors to donate to the cause of stopping racism and helping the African American community achieve social justice.
The Political and Media Lynching of Donald J. Trump
- By Frank Raddish - Founder/Director Capitol Hill Independent Baptist Ministries
The second impeachment of President Donald Trump is really all about putting our constitution and the American culture on trial. The Democrats realize that they must destroy him because he has become the leader that has rekindled true American patriotism. These Marxists believe if they can stop him from running for office again through impeachment, it will stop the thrust of the America first movement. Then they can more easily manipulate America into a communist direction without much-organized opposition against them.
COVID-19 – A School Choice Diamond in the Rough
- By Michael J. LaPierre
True Patriots understand that Covid-19 was used as a propaganda instrument by the Marxist element on our shores. While the loss of life for those who contracted the China-Flu is heartbreaking, and those who were stripped of their civil liberties by the stroke of the Executive Order pens seem unimaginable, undemocratic, unconstitutional, and palpably disturbing, there may be light at the end of the Covid-10 indoctrination. One word: EDUCATION.
SALTY Sez – The Devil Owns the Press and Its Minions
- By Ray Simmons
Everyone with a grain of common sense knows that the 2021 presidential election was “fixed”. Proofs are everywhere. The recent video by Mike Lindell shows those proofs, which the media is calling conspiracy theories. FACTS are not THEORIES and the facts of the cyber theft of votes by China, among others, was clearly demonstrated and supported by expert technologists. The Democrats know this and the Republicans know this. The Supreme Court knows this and the voters know this, yet no one with power status is brave enough to acknowledge what they know to be true. They are more willing to accept the known lie and destroy our nation than to fight for the freedoms that built our country. What can instill such fear into the hearts of so many? The powers that be have been seized by the Devil himself and they will rue their choice when they stand face to face with the Lord, which everyone must do.
