It's Now or Never for School Choice Everywhere
- By Stephen Moore
This story could bring tears to your eyes. In Baltimore, Maryland, there are 23 schools in which not one single student tested "proficient in math."
Can we all agree these are schools that aren't proficient in teaching math -- or just about any course, for that matter?
A Fox News investigation calculated that Baltimore spends an average of $21,000 per student. How could the teachers unions possibly spend that much money and accomplish almost no learning?

The Fraud Behind “Climate Change”
- By Pat Carlson, Eagle Forum Environmental Chairman
According to Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum, “You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy.” The United Nations’ plan for global socialism is Agenda 2030, which Schwab explains is “a great reset of capitalism”.
To understand Agenda 2030, let’s look at Agenda 21. In June 1992, the U.N. held an “Earth Summit” in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which created the Framework Conference on Climate Change treaty.
Agenda 21 was part of the UNFCCC treaty. The Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate ratified this treaty and President George H.W. Bush immediately signed it.
Ukraine War Accelerates Orphan Crisis
- By Christian Newswire
LOVES PARK, Ill. -- The war in Ukraine is accelerating an orphan crisis in the embattled nation and neighboring Russia, a U.S. mission agency says.
Children are being swept up in the turmoil in Ukraine and taken to overcrowded orphanages miles away across borders, often separated from family members desperately searching for them, says Illinois-based Slavic Gospel Association (SGA, www.sga.org).
"The kids don't understand why this is happening to them," said Eric Mock, a missionary with SGA that supports local evangelical churches ministering in Ukraine, Russia and other nations of the former Soviet Union.
Abortion Complications are Serious
- By Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights
NEW YORK -- Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the seriousness of abortion complications:
Most of the mainstream media is in the tank with pro-abortion activists, which explains their reluctance to accurately report on the seriousness of abortion complications. Yet any person who truly believes in the best interests of women should want all women to know what can happen to them when undergoing an abortion. Since they won't do it, we will.
Secret Service Threatens Minister with Arrest for Peacefully Demonstrating on a Public Sidewalk in Front of the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C.
- By Christian Defense Coalition
WASHINGTON -- Rev. Patrick Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, was told yesterday by the Secret Service the sidewalk was not public because Chinese officials said it "was Chinese property."
The Secret Service went on to say Mahoney would be arrested and charged with unlawful assembly because he would be demonstrating on "Chinese property."
It was shocking and stunning to see America's Secret Service being bullied by the Chinese government to shut down free speech in the public square.
Whistleblower Exposes Child Experiments
- By Eagle Forum
Liberal Lesbian Uncovers the Atrocities of Trans Procedures on Minors
The facade of “gender-affirming care” for minors is beginning to disintegrate. A whistleblower recently came forward to shed light on the atrocities of a Missouri youth transgender clinic and all gloves are off. Now, leaders at every level are coming to her defense and to the defense of children everywhere.
Jamie Reed was a case worker at the Washington University School of Medicine for four years. She describes herself as “politically to the left of Bernie Sanders,” married to a transgender man (a biological woman who has transitioned), and is a biological and foster mom. She believed what the left told her about the safety and efficacy of treating gender dysphoria with cross-sex hormones and cosmetic surgeries. However, she found out quickly that these doctors were ignoring true mental health disorders and pushing genital mutilation and sterilization procedures on children with little to no parental consent.
Democrats Have No Good Option for 2024
- By Josh Hammer
Former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley's 2024 presidential announcement this week, which makes her the first Republican to declare other than former President Donald Trump himself, formally commences what should prove to be a tumultuous GOP presidential primary. But despite the impending made-for-TV tumult in the GOP primary, the fact remains that the party has a number of possible or likely candidates who are either well-qualified or broadly popular with a substantial slice of the national electorate.
Democrat Calls Advocacy for Natural Family 'Dangerous and Un-American'
- By Press Release
A Democratic politician has received massive backlash after she called the scientifically attested belief that children suffer less abuse in nuclear families “dangerous and un-American.”
“Extremist group Family Heritage Alliance said this morning that the safest place for kids are in families that have a married mom and dad. What a dangerous and un-American belief,” tweeted State Representative Erin Healy (D) on Monday.
She had apparently been triggered by testimony offered on behalf of the natural family by the South Dakota family policy council. “In committee we made the claim that the home of a married mother and father is statistically the safest place for a child, and we stand by it 100%. We know that a strong, nuclear family is the safest, most beneficial place for a child to be. Research confirms our claim,” Family Heritage Alliance Director Norman Woods told The Washington Stand.
Failing To Fix What's Broken Would Be the Real Nightmare
- By Veronique de Rugy
President Joe Biden tweeted last week that he will be a "nightmare" for Republicans who dream of cutting Social Security and Medicare. With this statement, Biden showed that he's either shockingly ignorant about these two programs and any Republican reform efforts -- or lack thereof -- or just another politician who washes his hands of what happens when he's out of office and the programs hit upcoming obstacles.
I have an idea which one it is. However, before revealing my guess, it's worth revisiting the issue more fully. Each time I write about Social Security and Medicare, newspapers receive letters to the editors revealing how little the general public understands about entitlement spending and where it's headed. This misunderstanding is particularly acute and ominous when it comes to Social Security.

Mitochondrial Eve
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
According to the Bible, all human beings that have ever lived are descended from one man and one woman. According to universal common descent evolution, this should not be the case. In fact, our species should have evolved with a population of at least a million or so. To the surprise of everyone but Biblical creationists genetic evidence has not only shown that the entire human race is indeed descended from a single woman, but directly measured mutation rates show that she lived about 6,000 years ago. Now of course evolutionists deny the timeline, and they deny that she was the only woman alive, but they are forced to acknowledge her existence even if they push her back more than 100,000 years.

A Letter From SC Conservative Leaders in Support of the SC Freedom Caucus
- By Press Release
James Madison once said, “Wherever the real power in a Government lies, there is the danger of oppression.”
As Conservative South Carolinians, we understand Madison’s words more than most. From the ineffectual reign of “Republicans” for 30 years to now the recent attempt to suppress the 1st Amendment rights of a group of the most conservative Republicans in the State House through a loyalty pledge, we know firsthand the danger of oppression inflicted on conservative values by a government focused on only growing its own power. The loyalty pledge presents two particularly egregious problems. They are affronts to the dignity of the relationship between elected members and the constituents that put them in office within our state.
What’s Going On?
- By Nate Leupp, Chairman of the Fourth Congressional District
It’s been a little over a week since the First Quarter Executive Committee Meeting of the South Carolina Republican Party and many of you have questions about what is going on with the Precinct Reorganization and County Convention. There has been a lot of false information disseminated that is causing confusion. The correct information will be coming from the SCGOP. I am able to give you the information that we learned from the State EC meeting.
Let me start by saying that it is the duty of each county party’s executive committeeman to attend the quarterly meetings in Columbia and report back to his/her county what happens. It is not, nor ever has been, the job of the SCGOP to later contact each of the individual 46 counties and reiterate what was clearly stated or go over events that happened. Unfortunately, Greenville’s EC has done a poor job in relaying correct information and things that happen during the quarterly meetings.

Christians Need to Stand for Free Speech Against Ungodly Censorship
- By Richard Harris, Executive Director of the Truth & Liberty Coalition
Free speech is under attack in America like never before.
All Americans, but most especially Christians, must stand united in defense of this sacred and unalienable right. Our Founders gave it first place for good reason. Freedom of speech is essential to the pursuit of happiness and self-governance.
Self-expression is by God's design a fundamental aspect of who we are as people. Freedom to express oneself is essential to happiness and fulfillment. The Bible says mankind is made in God's image and likeness (Gen. 1:26-27). God's first act was to speak (Gen. 1:3). Our words also express our hearts and minds, and therefore reflect who we are as people. As Jesus said, "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks (Matt. 12:34)."
Social Security Reform About Principles, Not Accounting
- By Star Parker
Per CNN and other media outlets, when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ran his first campaign for Congress in 2012, he expressed support for "privatizing" Social Security.
They predict, with little surprise, that this should provide red meat for attacks from former President Donald Trump and from Democrats, should DeSantis announce a presidential run.
If indeed this is the case, it adds credence to Nikki Haley's slogan for her new campaign that we need a new generation of leaders.
China Aid Association Releases its Annual Persecution Report for 2022, Cataloguing Persecution Against Christians in Mainland China
- By Christian Newswire
Read the full report on ChinaAid's website
MIDLAND, Texas -- Since 2006, ChinaAid released annual reports covering the CCP's oppression and persecution of Chinese Christians. Their reports are derived from an extensive network of Christians throughout the country in order to expose abuse of human rights, religious freedom, and rule of law. Due to the Communist Regime's extensive digital surveillance and totalitarian nature, the cases found within are not exhaustive. However, ChinaAid's report stands as one of the most comprehensive and accurate overviews of Chinese Christian persecution.
Greenville County GOP's Problem Is Between Its Head and Its Heart
- By Alan Schaurer - Greenville, SC
To those on former Greenville County Republican Party Chairman Nate Leupp's "side", there is NO argument you can make that will convince current Greenville County Republican Party Chairman Jeff Davis' supporters, stop trying. These people are so sucked into the religion of Jeff that they try to logic their way out of Jeff claiming Drew is basically the devil incarnate (figuratively) and yet somehow Trump himself choose Drew as VC of the RNC.
To those on Jeff's "side", there is no emotional appeal you can make to convince Nate's supporters, stop trying. However fervent your belief that the republican system in SC is broken you will NEVER convince the long-term members and volunteers to work alongside you, EVER.

Whistleblower Explains How the Transgender Industry Convinces Parents to Mutilate Their Kids
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
A whistleblower’s explosive account reveals that the transgender medical industry uses high-pressure techniques, employs its own cadre of “experts,” and lies about the impact of puberty blockers and other drugs to convince parents to authorize lifelong “gender-affirming care” that effectively, or literally, castrates their children. When the parents refuse, at least one transgender clinic disregarded the will of the custodial parent, the insider’s testimony states.
Allegations of illegal activity come from an affidavit and accompanying article by Jamie Reed, a far-Left LGBT activist who worked for four years at The Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. The affidavit attests doctors in the university’s transgender clinic prescribed experimental drugs to young children, ignored the children’s physical and mental health concerns, and may have committed Medicaid and insurance fraud. Her heartrending report has touched off separate investigations by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) and U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.).
Human Rights Activists to Gather at the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C. for a 'Chinese Spy Balloon Protest and Call for Human Rights'
- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON -- The protest will be on Wednesday, February 15, at 12:00 PM at the Chinese Embassy located at 3505 International Pl NW Washington D.C., DC 20008.
The activists will be displaying two large helium balloons, each having a 2 foot diameter, at the entrance to the Embassy.
From January 28 to February 4, 2023, a Chinese-operated high-altitude spy balloon was seen in North American airspace, including Alaska, western Canada, and the contiguous United States. On February 4, the U.S. Air Force shot down the spy balloon over U.S. territorial waters off the coast of South Carolina.
The Troll Sagas
- By Mike Scruggs
Chapter 8 - Of Gods and New Friends
Viking Dragon Ship
Ivar again asked, Ketel, “By what name should we address our Creator?”
“His name in the Troll tongue is Jumala. Some call him Ukko, but he has many names among peoples and trolls,” replied Ketel. “Of old, his name in Norse was translated as Eker, which was thought to describe his nature. But be careful. It is more important to know his nature than his name, though any name for the true God should be spoken with reverence. There are many who call upon gods who are not gods. There are many who call his right name but do not know him, for their understanding of him is of their own imagination and terribly corrupt. I judge by your looks and aura that your ancestor was Odin, but he was a man and not a god. He was a wise and great man, but nothing more. Thor was the god of the people who first came to Norway. He was a protector of his people, but he, too, was but a man enlarged by fading memories and entertaining fables. Freyr and Freyja were of the Vanir people, beautiful, but mere mortals; their descendents are mixed with those of Odin and Thor.”
What if Federal Workers Never Showed Up for Work and No One Missed Them?
- By Stephen Moore
This is one of the greatest federal government scandals of all time. Many hundreds of thousands of federal employees have been getting a full-time paycheck from Uncle Sam (meaning from all of us) without showing up for work for three years now. They don't call it Club Fed for nothing.
To be fair, just because an employee is working remotely doesn't mean they aren't working. Only a little more than half of private sector workers are actually in the office these days -- although, with each passing day, private workers are returning to work sites. But in the public sector, the percentage of remote workers remains much higher than that. The Federal Times news outlet reports that at the end of 2022, only about 1 in 3 federal bureaucrats were on the job in the office.
Taking the Conservative Fight to the Culture: ‘You Can’t Have it Both Ways.’
- By Robin M. Itzler - American Thinker
If you are one of the millions of conservatives who watched on February 12 when the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII, shame on you! Conservatives can’t have it both ways!
Before progressives hijacked American traditions, Super Bowl Sunday was a time when family and friends got together to watch the big game. Even if you didn’t know the difference between a football and a footstool, you still had a fun time at the party eating delicious foods that clogged your arteries. Everyone watched the creative commercials—some a one-time airing just for the event—and the fantastic halftime show was a mini-concert featuring our favorite performers.

Transgender Clinic Under Investigation for Using Experimental Drugs on Kids, Medicaid Fraud
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
A pediatric gender clinic is under criminal investigation after a whistleblower charged the center with potentially defrauding Medicaid and private insurance to prescribe transgender hormones to children as young as 11. The sworn affidavit states the St. Louis facility administered cross-sex hormones to mentally ill children, sometimes against their parents’ wishes, and ignored children’s worsening physical and mental health conditions — including at least one suicidal teenager.
America’s Nordstream Pipeline Sabotage Scandal
- By Mike Scruggs
Unveiling the Bitter Weeds of Foreign Policy Insanity
President Joe Biden
On September 26, 2022, the Swedish National Seismic Institute recorded several explosions along the Nordstream 1 and 2 Pipelines southeast of the Danish Island Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. These explosions were approximately the magnitude of a thousand-pound bomb or torpedo and rendered three of the four 4-foot diameter natural gas pipelines inoperable for the foreseeable future. Nordstream 1 and 2 are each double pipelines stretching 759 and 767 miles from two Russian locations on the Gulf of Finland to northeastern Germany. Nordstream 1 had been pumping gas since 2011 and Nordstream 2 had just become operational but was not yet pumping gas. Nordstream 2 parallels Nordstream 1 to its south with a separation of less than one mile. The Baltic Sea depth on their track south of Bornholm is about 265 feet. Nordstream 1 was already supplying 40 percent of Germany’s natural gas. The total cost of the pipelines was $25.4 billion, of which the Russian energy company Gazprom owned 51 percent or $13 billion in cost. German, Austrian, Swiss, Dutch, and British energy companies owned the other 49 percent, of which the heaviest share belonged to Germany.

Silencing The Voice Of Opposition
- By W.H. Lamb
“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” - President Harry S. Truman (1884-1972), Special Message to the Congress on the Internal Security of the United States, August 8, 1950.
Far be it for me to quote, in agreement, from a Democrat president, but I must admit that old Harry Truman was 100% correct in both his historical accuracy and in his remarkable prescience in regards to the well known propensities of “governments” to morph over some period of time from the “faithful servant” into the “fearful master”, mainly because the citizens of those governments were lulled into complacency by those old ‘siren songs’: “Let the Government Do It”, or “The Government Will Take Care Of You”. Uh huh. Sure it will.
New Congressional Scorecards for South Carolina!
- By The John Birch Society
The Freedom Index has just released the new scorecards for Congress (CLICK HERE TO VIEW THEM).
Without much surprise, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham scored a failing 33% while U.S. Representative Ralph Norman was the only one that scored 100%. Norman was the only U.S. Representative that voted against the expansion of NATO which goes to show all of the others are neoconservatives (WATCH THE VIDEO NEOCONSERVATIVES: CHANGING AMERICAN POLITICS).
Sadly, Wilson, Timmons, Mace, and Clyburn all voted for federal police grants that threaten the independence of our local police (CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL POLICE PAGE).
