Energy Mega-Bill: Government Moves to Control, Taxpayers Pay the Price
- By Average Steve - Palmetto State Watch
At first glance, I must admit, the Energy Policy Institute (EPI) looks pretty good on paper. As do many other government entities, what at the outset seem to be reasonable & cost efficient, is anything but. EPI is a proposed new bureaucracy with 3 members appointed by the general assembly for a 4 year term at a salary of $100k per year. The members are vested with the power to regulate the rates and services of every public utility. They are tasked to “fix just & reasonable standards, classifications, regulations, practices & measurements of service to be furnished, imposed or observed and followed” by every public utility in SC. Even though this commission is governed by a 6-member board of elected officials, the power held by 3 bureaucrats for that length of time encompassing “every” public utility can be incredibly dangerous. The bill H5118 that creates the EPI, should be drastically scaled back or “killed” outright.
Did I Offend?
- By Jenna McCarthy
Sorry, I opened my mouth and words came out of it. (It'll probably happen again.)
As a writer, you don’t have to tell me words matter. “I’m sorry” and “I’m pregnant” can make your day or destroy it. Envy and jealousy are not the same thing. Neither are refute and deny. And certainly there are words floating about out there that are inherently hurtful, racist, and derogatory and should be avoided. But can we all agree that we’ve gone bat **** crazy a tiny bit overboard in our excessive, obsessive, escalating need to be sensitive in our every syllable? It seems *some people* spend their days actively looking for ways any word might be demeaning to someone or something somewhere.

Tax Time Myths and Truths
- By Veronique de Rugy
Another Tax Day has come and gone, and most Americans believe they pay too much. One recent poll revealed that 56% say they pay more than their fair share. Unfortunately, I fear this is just the beginning considering the insane level of debt Washington policymakers have accumulated over the years. With this in mind, here are some important facts about our tax system that you might not know.
The payroll tax is the heaviest burden for most taxpaying Americans, but the income tax is more visible and painful to a lot of people. While we are accustomed to it -- and while it affects some Americans' decisions about how much to work, invest or save -- the income tax didn't exist for most of our country's life.

South Carolina Congressional Conservatives Block Liberal Judge
- By SC Freedom Caucus
Former Democrat gubernatorial candidate James Smith rejected as judge
Today, conservatives had another major win at the State House.
The General Assembly held elections for our state’s judges. As we have discussed before, our current judicial election system is inherently flawed by allowing trial-lawyer legislators to choose the judges in front of whom they try their cases.
Over the years numerous liberals have been elected to the bench despite Republican control of both chambers. In fact just a few years ago Justice Kay Hearn, a proven liberal, was re-elected to a 10 year term (despite the fact she could only serve 1 year due to age limitations) against our objections. She then served as the deciding vote and wrote the majority opinion striking down the Heartbeat Bill in SC.
Capped out: State Law Hurts Qualified Judicial Candidates' Election Chances
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Update: 4/17/24 – A day after this story was published, S.C. lawmakers rejected a bid by James Smith, a former state House member and Democratic nominee for governor, to become a 5th Circuit Court judge, voting 94-57 to restart the screening process for the seat.
Since 2016, Ralph King “Tripp” Anderson unsuccessfully has tried three times to get a seat on the S.C. Supreme Court – the state’s top court.
Each time, the legislatively controlled Judicial Merit Selection Commission (JMSC) found Anderson, the state Administrative Law Court's chief judge, qualified and nominated him twice for election by the S.C. Legislature, though the commission later rescinded his second nomination, records show. In Anderson’s third try last year for a Supreme Court seat, he was the only one of four qualified candidates who wasn’t nominated.
Speaker Johnson Tees up Israel Aid Vote as Urgency Grows
- By Dan Hart - The Washington Stand
On Wednesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced that the text for a bill giving aid to Israel would be released in the wake of Iran’s extraordinary attack on the Jewish state over the weekend. Experts and lawmakers say Israel needs the full backing of the U.S. as the existential threats against the only democracy in the Middle East continue to heighten.
The White House announced Tuesday that it would place new sanctions on the Iranian regime in response to its attack over the weekend that rained down over 300 missiles and drones on Israel, the first direct attack of its kind in decades. The sanctions will target Iran’s “missile and drone program as well as new sanctions against entities supporting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iran’s Defense Ministry,” according to National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
Trump Is Right -- More Violence, Turmoil Under Biden
- By Star Parker
Former President Donald Trump's statement that the attack on Israel by Iran "would not have happened if we were in office," has drawn derision, including from his former National Security Adviser John Bolton.
Bolton called the remark "delusional," saying that Trump "has no idea what to do in the Middle East in this situation."
If Trump is delusional, Bolton has amnesia regarding what happened on his watch and after.
In less than four years under Biden, we have witnessed the disastrous pull out from Afghanistan and subsequently the Russian attack on Ukraine, the Hamas attack on Israel, and now the unprecedented massive attack by Iran on Israel.
Operation Rescue Endorses Donald J. Trump for President
- By Press Release
As Pro-Life Americans, We Must Give President Trump Our Full Support, Here's Why
Over the last week, many pro-life Americans have expressed a sudden disdain for President Donald Trump – the most pro-life GOP president or nominee in our lifetime. This is not only self-defeating and destructive, but it is also hypocritical when compared to previous presidents and nominees that have had the full support of the pro-life community.
Let's look at some history.
The University of Tennessee Uses Our Taxes to Advocate Radical Energy Agenda. I Took Them to Court!
- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center
Over four years ago, someone sent me a November 2019 Huffington Post article titled “Coal Knew, Too” by Élan Young, a writer for the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of (UTK). The story, remarkably, also promptly appeared in Mother Jones, the UK’s Daily Mail, and even in an article from the Kent Law School. We were told that the Department head, Chris Cherry, “accidentally discovered what is, so far, the earliest known evidence of the coal industry acknowledging its awareness of the impending climate crisis”.
The supposed “confession”, which fit nicely into an ongoing activist litigation campaign, appeared in plain sight in a 1966 article in the Mining Congress Journal. This general-interest mining publication merely repeated the theory of greenhouse global warming.
Thermodynamics is a Problem for Abiogenesis
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Before starting on about the second law of thermodynamics, I am not using the second law of thermodynamics nor am I saying that abiogenesis is thermodynamically impossible. What I am saying is that it does have thermodynamic issues.
First of all, the energy applied to any prebiotic soup is going to be more likely to break down the organic compounds that produce them. This problem gets worse the more complex those organic compounds become.
Second, many aspects of a living cell do not result from chemical necessity. The arrangement of the nucleotides in DNA is a perfect example of this problem. The arrangement of the nucleotides in DNA is not compelled by chemistry but it is based on the information that it holds. The DNA can be arranged as needed to hold that information. The point is that there are many aspects of a cell necessary for life that cannot simply be produced by chemical processes but are easily broken down by thermodynamic processes.
Hungary Commemorates 80th Anniversary of Holocaust As Pain Remains
- By Stefan J. Bos - Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
JERUSALEM/BUDAPEST (Worthy News)— Hungary’s recently elected President, Tamás Sulyok, has urged his nation to “respectfully and honestly” remember the victims of the Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, in which some 600,000 Hungarian Jews died.
He spoke at the 80th anniversary of the tragedy, remembered in Hungary as the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, at a time of concerns about antisemitism.
Hungary, which was a close ally of Nazi Germany, should show “reflections on our past duties with an outlook on the present and the future,” he told Parliament on Tuesday.
“Taking responsibility for the past, including my personal history, I pay tribute to all victims of the Holocaust,” the president said.
SC Treasurer Curtis Loftis's Response to Senate Committee Report this Past Tuesday
- By Curtis Loftis - SC Treasurer
Regarding Tuesday’s Senate subcommittee report, let me remind you that Senator Larry Grooms and his subcommittee members act with complete Senatorial immunity. They can say and do anything they like, and there are no consequences. There are no penalties for Senators, and no court action is available to me.
Unfortunately, a handful of State Senators are more interested in character assassination than solving problems that affect our State. Fortunately, most state leaders realize that problems are usually best solved at a conference table, not by grandstanding in front of TV cameras.
It should be obvious to everyone that the subcommittee would like to overturn the election of an executive branch official and install a puppet to control the funds of the state. Last night, the Treasurer’s Office invested $50.8 billion dollars, and wealthy special interest wants the power, income, and other “dividends” that come with control of the people’s money. The taxpayers of South Carolina should be very, very concerned.
Judicial Reform for SC within Sight!
- By Josiah Magnuson - SC House Representative for District 38
We are within sight of judicial reform in SC! After years of effort with no bills on this topic ever allowed a hearing, the power of the good-ol-boy attorneys in the legislature is cracking. For the first time, a subcommittee hearing is being held in the House on Thursday morning at 9am.
The bill being addressed (S1046) has come over from the Senate where Sen. Wes Climer took a courageous stand to say he would filibuster the judicial elections until a judicial reform bill was brought to the floor! This is yet another example of how it is courage, not weakness, that gets things done in Columbia. Change almost never happens unless somebody draws a line in the sand and is willing to take the arrows for it. I'm so grateful to Sen. Climer for being that person on judicial reform this year.
Tucker Carlson Interview of Vladimir Putin - Part 8
- By Mike Scruggs
The Changing Global Economy, Sanctions, Endangered Dollar, and BRICS
At the end of Part 7, Vladimir Putin was explaining how U.S. driven NATO sanctions on Russia were creating painful economic hardships on the German economy and German people.
Commentary: Although sanctions were a major factor in a 1.2 percent decline in the Russian economy in 2022, Russian economic growth was 3.6 percent in 2023, exceeding the U.S. and most European nations. According to the European Union Commission, Germany is estimated to have had a real GDP contraction of 0.3 percent in 2023, and real growth is not expected to be over 0.3 percent in 2024. In my opinion, this figure is very optimistic considering Germany’s critical energy shortage. European Union economic growth overall was only 0.8 percent. An optimistic projection for 2024 is 1.4 percent. The International Monetary Fund estimates Russian real economic growth for 2024 will be 2.6 percent. There are four major reasons why Russia has prospered despite US/NATO/EU sanctions. First, the Russians had prepared their banking and financial systems for sanctions. Second, they were remarkably successful in shifting their trade to China and other non-NATO nations. Third, the Russians have a very low Debt to GDP ratio of only 12 percent and near zero deficit spending. They are thus in much better fiscal condition than most Western nations. Fourth, they were able to ramp up military-industrial production very quickly, which also gave them significant weapons, ammunition, and logistical advantages over Ukraine and NATO.
Backward, Christian Soldiers
- By W.H. Lamb
I’m certain that most folks who consider themselves to be “Christians” are familiar with that venerable old hymn, “Onward Christian Soldiers” (1871), with those inspiring words by Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) and the great music by Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900); (yes, the same Sullivan of “Gilbert & Sullivan” operettas fame). There was a time in America—a time that seems to have just about disappeared—when Christians loved to sing hymns with a “military” theme. Most of us know them: Stand Up For Jesus, You Soldiers of the Cross; or Soldiers of Christ Arise. Sadly, many modern hymn books no longer contain hymns like these that portray Christians as “soldiers of the Cross” (“too violent”). In fact, in some denominations and in some other nations, the singing of “Onward Christian Soldiers” has been forbidden by the wimps of their dying Christian (in name only) churches as “too militant”, “too unloving”, “too un-Christ-like”, “too judgmental”.
From Sea to Shining Sea, Federal Land Control?
- By Dr. Robert Malone
What is the Biden Administration 30 x 30 initiative, and what could possibly go wrong.
WHAT IS THE 30 X 30 PROGRAM?
The 30 x 30 program is an international agenda advanced by radical environmental activists to permanently protect 30 percent of the world’s land and oceans in their natural state by 2030. The program in America was initiated by the Biden Administration through Executive Order 14008, “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad” (86 Fed. Reg. 7,619), signed January 27, 2021.
Proponents argue climate impacts are human-caused, and permanently preserving 30 percent of America’s land and oceans is necessary to reverse climate change. This action must be taken immediately, they claim, to avoid impacts on the ecosystem and wildlife. However, the science and data do not justify these extreme policy measures.

Joe Biden on the Economy: I Don't Feel Your Pain
- By Stephen Moore
In 1992, Democratic presidential nominee Bill Clinton famously answered a voter question about how the national debt affected him personally. Clinton's response was often paraphrased as, "I feel your pain."
Whether Bill was for once being sincere or not, his words resonated.
Now President Joe Biden is running for reelection with the opposite message: Stop complaining. Everything is going great. Some of his sycophants in Congress and his stooges in the media are now complaining that the problem isn't Biden's failed policies, it's that Americans are just too stupid to understand how good things are today.

I’m honored to have the support of hard-working South Carolinians and Americans in my race for Congress,” said Republican congressional candidate Adam Morgan.
The Real “Threat to Democracy”
- By Kristen A. Ullman - Eagle Forum President
A Republic, If You Can Keep It
The Left loves to call any person or policy they disagree with a “threat to democracy.” Put aside for a moment the fact the United States is not a democracy but a constitutional and federal republic. The biggest threat to our form of government — and one being pushed by the Biden Administration and largely ignored by Congress — are the upcoming votes on two World Health Organization (WHO) instruments that violate our representative system.
