Saule Omarova Shouldn't Be Overseeing our Banks
- By Star Parker
It is ironic when Democrats complain about sensational use of language.
Thanks to progressives, practically every white person in America has been labelled a racist.
But now Democrats are screaming because Republican Sen. John Kennedy suggested that Saule Omarova, whom President Joe Biden has nominated to head the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency -- the nation's top banking regulator -- might be a communist.
Kennedy opened his questioning of Omarova at her Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs confirmation hearing asking if he should call her "professor or comrade."
Incoming Mayor of New York Advocating Municipal Voting for Some 800,000 Legal Alien Residents in NYC
- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
Contrary to the reasoning of Stephen Goss outlined in his letter printed in an upstate newspaper, neither “illegal aliens” nor “legal aliens” have a “moral right” to vote in local American elections based solely on paying some local taxes! Illegal aliens have no legal right to be here at all-must less vote! The right to vote only belongs to citizens of the United States! Just because you “illegally occupy space” with your body in the United States does not enhance your right to vote! Stephen does concede only “citizens” should vote in state and national elections, but feels “illegal aliens” and especially “legal aliens” should be morally entitled to vote in local elections simply because they pay some taxes to their local taxing jurisdictions while personally, but nonetheless as “aliens” in America, occupying space in that locality!

We Need a Little More Milton Friedman Right About Now
- By Stephen Moore
Not long ago, President Joe Biden made an offhanded comment that "Milton Friedman isn't running the show anymore."
This president has seldom spoken more valid words. And that's where the trouble has begun.
If you were to rate the three most influential economic minds of all time, you'd be hard-pressed to come up with a better trio than Adam Smith, John Maynard Keynes and Friedman.
I'm a little too young to have known Keynes or Smith, but I am old enough to have gotten to know Friedman, and I'm proud to have called him a friend.

Playing With Fire on Russia's Borders
- By Pat Buchanan
Belarusian autocrat Alexander Lukashenko has cleared out the encampment at his border crossing into Poland, where thousands of Middle Eastern migrants had been living in squalor.
Last week, that border crossing was the site of clashes between asylum-seekers trying to push through the razor wire and Polish troops resisting with water cannons.
While the crisis between Warsaw and Minsk has not ended, it appears to have been temporarily eased.
Behind the clash was the recent election in Belarus that the European Union saw as fraudulent and Lukashenko's interception of a commercial airliner to kidnap and imprison a critical journalist.
Greenville County GOP Calls for Immediate Legislation to Protect SC Citizens from Federal Mandates
- By James Spurck
Monday evening, November 22nd, Greenville GOP passed a resolution calling upon SC Gov. Henry McMaster, Speaker of the House Jay Lucas and Senate President Harvey Peeler to do all they can to call a special session (including but not limited to an emergency session), and demanding our Legislators pass legislation that will protect #WeThePeople from these unconstitutional vaccine mandates.
GCGOP Chairman Jeff Davis expressed the solidarity of the GCGOP Executive Board, who he said was 100% supportive for this initiative. After a few approved changes, the Executive Committee voted unanimously in favor of the resolution which calls on the General Assembly to be called into special session (including but not limited to an emergency session) and demand SC Legislators to pass legislation that will protect the citizens of South Carolina from unconstitutional vaccine mandates.
The Morrill Tariff
- By Mike Scruggs
Furious National Debate over Protectionism vs. Free Trade – Part 2
As South Carolina statesman and political philosopher John C. Calhoun frequently pointed out, any tax measure that has a disparate and damaging effect on different regional or commercial interests is inherently unconstitutional. Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution provides that:
“…all duties, imports, and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.”
Article 5, Section 9 ordains that:
“No tax, or duty, shall be laid upon articles exported from any State. No preference shall be given, by any regulation of commerce or revenue, to the ports of one State, over those of another.”
The clearly manifest spirit of these Constitutional provisions is not that duties should be uniform in rate, but that they should be uniform in effect. The intent of these measures is to prohibit any legislation that gives preference to special commercial interests, geographic regions, states, or ports. Surely, it prohibits any tariff that damages other commercial interests or geographic regions for the benefit of another. The Confederate Constitution, recognizing the injustice and turmoil caused by much of the tariff legislation of the past 40 years, allowed for low-rate revenue tariffs but prohibited protective tariffs.
Thanksgiving 2021: Some Thoughts
- By W.H. Lamb
Note: A version of this article was published in The Times Examiner back in November of 2018. The great thing about true history is that it doesn’t change (if it is true). It may be purposely changed or “revised” or even obliterated by the collectivist churls who now dominate our main stream media and most of the major publishing companies. But we owe it to the people of history—to the heroes and villains of the past—to the noble and ignoble deeds they performed--------- we owe it to all of them to tell the TRUTH about what they did—for good or ill-- in their time under the sun. Their deeds made US what we are today. And that surely includes a greatly (and purposely) misunderstood group of religious separatists we today call Pilgrims, people who are mercilessly attacked in our day by the mentally deficient clods of the MSM and the “woke” social media, as hopeless racists and the cause of all of our problems in modern America!
Things I Learned from the Trial
- By Mike Scruggs
Refuting a Depraved and Dishonest MSM Agenda
A neighbor passed on this summary of some of the little-known facts about the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. Yet most of the mainstream media is still distributing the most dishonest and hateful distortions about Kyle Rittenhouse and the trial. CNN, MSNBC, and the New York Times are the loudest and most extreme in their dishonesty and hate. Google seems to be on a full-court press to bury the truth under a high priority blizzard of lies.
Ben Carson: No COVID Shots for Children, Mandates Open “Pandora’s Box”
- By The New American
The long-term risks of COVID injections for children are unknown while the risks of COVID to children are miniscule to non-existent, warned former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and world-renown medical doctor Ben Carson in this exclusive interview on Conversations That Matter with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman. Looking at the data would save America a lot of pain and suffering, he warned. While he touted Operation Warp Speed as a program that saved lives, the soft-spoken American icon warned that the long-term impact of the shots was unknown and the data in the government’s VAERS vaccine adverse-event reporting system revealed “a lot more complications” than vaccines normally have. As for government mandates, these open “Pandora’s Box,” putting Americans’ most fundamental liberties at risk.
To Whom It May Ignore: U.S. Abandons Terror-filled Nigeria
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
When Pastor Silas Yakubu Ali didn't show up to preach on Sunday morning, there was one overriding feeling: dread. It wasn't like the 55-year-old leader of the Evangelical Church Winning All to be late. As the hour grew later, people in the congregation left to search -- each one praying that his disappearance wasn't what they all feared. In Nigeria, they knew, being a Christian or going to church could be a death sentence -- one that had been carried out thousands of times this year already.

Millions Owed to SC Taxpayers Over Local Road Fees, Lawsuits Contend
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Nearly half of South Carolina’s 46 counties were charging annual road maintenance fees as of last December, records show, though the state’s top court earlier this year in a Greenville County case ruled that its fee was unlawful.
Whether taxpayers will receive any refunds remains to be seen. Class action lawsuits seeking multimillion-dollar refunds have been filed in at least seven counties – Aiken, Beaufort, Georgetown, Greenville, Horry, Richland and Sumter – since the June court ruling, which did not order refunds in the Greenville County case.
Most of the suits cite a state law that would allow the plaintiffs, if successful, to be awarded 10 times the amount of the collected road fees, The Nerve’s review found.
GiveSendGo.com, The Only Platform to Stand with Innocent Man, Kyle Rittenhouse
- By Christian Newswire
BOSTON -- Kyle Rittenhouse was found innocent by a jury on Friday after being on trial for fatally shooting two men and wounding another during a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 25, 2020. Rittenhouse was only 17 at the time of the incident. He is now 18 at the time of his acquittal.
Rittenhouse attempted to raise funds for his legal defense on GoFundMe last year, but was unsuccessful due to his campaign being shut down by the crowdfunding site. GoFundMe confirmed in August of 2020 they had shut down all campaigns supporting, or raising money, for Rittenhouse.
Pre-dawn FBI Raids Target Election Integrity Whistleblowers
- By Truth & Liberty Coalition
WOODLAND PARK, Colo. -- Recent FBI raids on the homes of Mesa County (Colorado) Clerk Tina Peters, conservative activist Sherronna Bishop, and others are raising alarms about election integrity and the activities of federal law enforcement.
Bishop heard a loud banging sound at her door early Tuesday, not thinking federal agents were trying to enter her home, she said on an interview with WWW Broadcast Network.
She also claimed during the interview an agent "manhandled" her daughter, leading the teen through their Grand Junction, Colorado, home by her hooded sweatshirt.
Sidney Powell: Counties Can Fix Elections, But Republic Almost Lost
- By The New American
Former federal prosecutor and internationally renowned attorney Sidney Powell, who was at the center of litigation surrounding the 2020 election, warns about the “fraudulent president” Joe Biden administration using Hitler and Stalin tactics in its efforts to impose tyranny on America in this interview on Conversations That Matter with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman. In this wide-ranging discussion, Powell discusses everything from the COVID “vaccine” mandates and the “election hoax” to the weaponization of the federal government and the rigging of the judicial system and the media “propaganda” machine. She also discusses her best-selling book Licensed to Lie. More importantly, the co-founder of Defending the Republic gives hope and ideas for patriots who seek to restore America and take it back from the tyrannical forces seeking its destruction.
Human Rights Group Calls President Biden's Consideration of a 'Diplomatic Boycott' of Beijing Olympics Disrespectful to America's Olympic Athletes and Human Rights
- By Stanton Public Policy Center/Purple Sash Revolution
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Nov. 19, 2021 /Christian Newswire/ -- Purple Sash Revolution, which recently organized two days of peaceful protests at the U.S. Olympic Headquarters in Colorado Springs, says the diplomatic boycott is nothing but a "cheap political ploy." The group has called for a full American boycott of the Beijing Olympic Games.
Purple Sash Revolution asks, if the human rights abuses by the Chinese government are so egregious that our government officials are prohibited from attending the Beijing Games, how can we possibly send our Olympic athletes to participate?
There Will Be No Media 'Reckoning' Over the Steele Dossier
- By David Harsanyi
Axios says there's a "reckoning" in the media over coverage of the Steele dossier after the partisan oppo document's primary source was charged with lying to the FBI. "It's one of the most egregious journalistic errors in modern history," writes Sara Fischer, "and the media's response to its own mistakes has so far been tepid."
Tepid is a nice way of putting it. While the Washington Post "corrected" some of its discredited reporting on the dossier, removing portions of reporting connecting former President Donald Trump to Russia, there has been virtually no other accountability. And, really, it's become modus operandi for the news organizations to "correct" stories in which the entire premise is false. Any sort of "reckoning" would mean a retraction, followed by investigative deep dives, not only reporting the problems with the story themselves but outing the fraudulent sources who participated in the deception. Perhaps that's going on as we speak, but it's highly doubtful.
House Democrats Finalize Another Massive Spending Package
- By Eagle Forum
Instead of giving the American people gifts for Christmas this year, House Democrats are giving us a bill for all of their reckless spending. The House is poised to vote on Biden’s $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Agenda in the next week.
As the pork-filled bipartisan infrastructure bill passed through the Senate in August, Democrats saw this as a slam dunk. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) expected the passage of this bill to be business-as-usual. The House has easily passed their agenda since gaining the majority. She believed that an infrastructure bill would prove that Democrats are working for the American people and usher in Democrat victories in state elections. Pelosi couldn’t have been more wrong.
Foundation: 'Don't Discriminate Against Christian Flag'
- By Christian Newswire
MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Pastor Harold Shurtleff and Camp Constitution wanted to hold an event in the Boston Commons. But when they asked to raise their Christian flag on the City flagpole, Boston said no.
On the surface that might not seem surprising -- until we learn that 284 organizations have asked to raise their flags on the City flagpole during the past 15 years, and the City of Boston has approved every one of them -- except the Christian flag, which features a cross. Boston has approved the flying of the LGBT rainbow flag, the transgender rights flag, the Malcolm X flag, and the flag of the Chinese Progressive Association, but said "no" to the Christian flag. Sensing discrimination, Pastor Shurtleff sued the City, and the case is now before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Twelve American Heroes
- By Mike Scruggs
Do You Hear the People Singing?
Today, we have 12 new American heroes. They are men and women of the common people, but they are extraordinary and courageous heroes who came to us at a time of a great national crisis threatening every principle of truth and American justice, and freedom. They were the jury in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin. They held to the American standards of truth, justice, and freedom against intimidation by mobs, a hurricane of politically motivated lies in the mainstream media, prosecutorial misconduct, and a corrupt and an increasingly totalitarian Federal government regime. They voted "Not Guilty" on all 5 [false] accusations and affirmed the American right of self-defense and that traditional American standards of truth, evidence, due process, and justice still prevail.
Kyle Rittenhouse, Both Right and Righteous
- By Pat Buchanan
In judging the actions of Kyle Rittenhouse, set aside for the moment Wisconsin law under which he is being tried, and consider the natural law, the moral law, the higher law written on the human heart.
In terms of values demonstrated and the deeds done that night that Rittenhouse shot the three men who attacked him, who was on the righteous side?
Consider what Rittenhouse did that night of Aug. 25, 2020, and why.
Watching on television the nightly riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, a town 20 miles from his home in Antioch, Illinois, that he knew well, Rittenhouse decided to go to Kenosha to protect property that embattled police had been unable to defend during the riots. For protection, he picked up the AR-15 that he kept in Kenosha.
Lawmakers Want More Control Over Agency Head Pay Hikes
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Lawmakers just can’t resist trying to exert more power over another branch of government.
Reps. John King, D-York; Annie McDaniel, D-Fairfield; and Wendy Brawley, D-Richland, prefiled a bill last week that would require separate majorities in the 124-member House and 46-member Senate to give final approval to any pay raises for state agency heads recommended by a legislatively controlled committee.
The Agency Head Salary Commission (AHSC), which includes eight lawmakers, approves state salaries for the heads of at least 90 agencies, including public colleges, according to the State Fiscal Accountability Authority (SFAA), an agency that provides administrative support to the AHSC.
The Plane Truth about Vax Tyranny
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
What air travel needs right now is more restrictions, said 37 Democratic lawmakers in a letter to President Biden, saying, "as the nation approaches holiday season, we ask that you put in place requirements for airline passengers to provide proof of full vaccination against COVID or a negative test to board a domestic flight." Their call for further travel restrictions doesn't just unhappily coincide with the holiday travel season; they explicitly cite that as a reason to enact the restrictions.
These would-be scrooges should have asked the airlines. Just as retailers and other businesses who survive on December sales begged the Biden administration to postpone the employer vaccine mandate until January, so airlines "have come out months ago and said that they were opposed to" the travel mandate," said Congressman Garret Graves (R-La.). Businesses live in the real world, where they must respond to market forces if they want to survive. Therefore, they recognize (far more than D.C. politicians) that most Americans who haven't gotten vaccinated don't appear to be changing their minds, regardless of the carrots and sticks the federal government wields.
Will Joe Biden Learn Jimmy Carter's Inflation Lesson?
- By Stephen Moore
In the 1980 presidential campaign, the Republican challenger, Ronald Reagan, said, "A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his." The Gipper turned out to be correct. The gale-force winds of rising inflation had knocked working-class people to the ground, with paychecks shrinking month after month. Reagan wound up winning a landslide victory, and Carter was bounced out of office.
The middle class hates inflation. The New York Times recently surmised that the effects of inflation are mostly "psychological," and that people should appreciate that "the U.S. economy is doing well." Wrong. People feel the impact of rising prices daily. It doesn't just make them FEEL poorer. They are poorer.
