SCPC Primary Poll: May 2026
- Details
- By SC Policy Council
SC Election day will be here before you know it, and primaries across the state are heating up. SCPC wanted to check in and see where likely South Carolina voters stand on the state’s direction and the candidates.
The survey sampled 1,000 likely South Carolina primary voters, 500 Republicans and 500 Democrats, using a combination of live operator interviews and text-to-web responses. Respondents were randomly selected from past primary voters and screened for likely participation, with only those indicating they would “definitely” or “probably” vote included. Results were weighted to reflect South Carolina’s approximate partisan makeup of 60% Republican and 40% Democrat.
The survey was conducted between May 18th and May 21st and contains a margin of error of +/-3.16. Polling was conducted by Conquest Group.

Thomas Dismukes US Senate Campaign for South Carolina

“Not a Career Politician. A Neighbor Willing to Serve.”
YORK, SOUTH CAROLINA — Most U.S. Senate candidates don’t begin their story by talking about walking barefoot through the Alps, riding in bareback rodeos, sleeping in dumpsters in England, discovering a lost medieval tomb in Scotland, or holding a world record balancing objects on their chin.
But Thomas Dismukes has never lived an ordinary life.
A motivational storyteller, educator, entrepreneur, Christian, husband, and father of five, Dismukes says those experiences taught him something many politicians have forgotten: real people matter more than political games.
So, You Want To Know My Thoughts On Trump...
- Details
- By Rob Pue - Wisconsin Christian News
My message today may not be a popular one, but it’s time to address the elephant in the room, and I’ll attempt to do it in a fair and balanced way. I want to talk about Donald Trump. I realize I’m walking on thin ice here, because he’s one of — if not the — most polarizing figures in all of American political history. Critics have an unreasonable and largely unsubstantiated hatred for Trump, which has come to be known as “Trump Derangement Syndrome” or “TDS.” Meanwhile, many of his supporters believe he can do no wrong, and are willing to overlook anything he does that they don’t agree with, because after all, he’s “saved us” from the Communist Left.
Ranked Choice Voting: Reform or Recipe for Confusion?
- Details
- By James Spurck, Publisher
Ranked choice voting has gained attention in recent years and has been adopted in several states and cities across the country, but it remains one of the most debated election reforms in modern American politics.
The issue even surfaced this week on the floor of the South Carolina House of Representatives during debate over redistricting legislation, where Democratic lawmakers introduced an amendment that would have implemented ranked choice voting in South Carolina. The proposal was ultimately rejected by the House.
While the amendment failed this time, the broader national push for ranked choice voting is not going away. Democratic activists and election reform advocates across the country continue pushing for the system through state legislatures and ballot initiatives, meaning South Carolina voters will likely hear the debate again in the future. That alone is reason enough for the public to understand exactly how the system works and why it remains so controversial.

Why is Cody Simpson running for the office of South Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture? The Times Examiner had the opportunity recently to sit down with him to find out the answers to that question.
“I'm running to protect our land, our seas and our waterways because we've got to be again food secure.” He also said that he is running for the next generation.
”Not many people realize the importance of this role and I think it's our obligation that we share that with others,” said Simpson.
Disgraced Former Election Officials Set Criminal Court Dates

On the morning of April 23, 2026, the Richland County Courthouse docket on the second floor read like roll call of reckoning. The courtroom was packed with lawyers and defendants alike, crammed shoulder to shoulder in front of the judge’s stand. State prosecutors were perched like birds of prey in the jury box, eagerly awaiting their next victim. Fluorescent lighting beamed down, washing all of the color out of the room and bathing everyone in a sickly white light.
Former elections director Howard “Howie” Knapp sat in the middle of it all.

Part 3 of the Persian Gulf and Red Sea Nations
Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Dijbouti, and Eritrea
To see the truth clearly we must understand its context.
Yemen and the Queen of Sheba
Yemen was the legendary land of the Queen of Sheba (or Saba), a seeker of wisdom, who visited Israel’s King Solomon, son of David, during Solomon’s reign estimated to be about 970 to 931 BC. See 1 Kings 10:1-13 or 2 Chronicles 9:1-12. Her capital was probably near Marib, about 75 miles east of Yemen’s modern capital of Sanaa. In ancient times. Marib and the Sabeans were known for their lucrative frankincense and myrrh trade.
Yemen and the Houthi Rebels
Since the beginning of a civil war in September 2014, there have been two governments in Yemen. Both claim to be the legitimate government, but the U.S. and most of its Western and Persian Gulf allies, especially Saudi Arabia, recognize only the Presidential Leadership Coalition (PLC), which was in power before the civil war. Due to political instability, there have been no elections since 2003. The President of Yemen recognized by the U.S. is Rashad al-Alimi. The Supreme Leader of the Houthis is Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.
Texas Children’s Hospital Settlement Deals Massive Defeat to Medical Trans Agenda
- Details
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
The U.S. Department of Justice on Friday announced a settlement with Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) in which the hospital not only committed to never again carry out gender transition procedures on minors, but also agreed to open the nation’s first detransitioner clinic and fully fund it for five years. TCH gained notoriety in 2023 when a whistleblower provided evidence that the hospital continued to secretly administer gender transition hormones to minors, even after the Texas legislature had made it illegal.
“Today’s resolution protects vulnerable children, holds providers accountable, and ensures those harmed receive the care they need,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “The Justice Department will use every weapon at its disposal to end the destructive and discredited practice of so-called ‘gender-affirming care’ for children.”
How Ingrid Bergman Became a Christians – The Story of Missionary Gladys Aylward
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
One of the things my wife and I loved to do on Sunday afternoons for many years was to listen to recorded sermons from one of our favorite pastors. We always listen to the current message from our dear local pastor who sends it to us, but for many years we always watched the D. James Kennedy Ministries website (djkm.org) which contains the messages that this great hero of the faith recorded over his long ministry. (He went home in 2007). In addition to great Bible exposition, Dr. Kennedy always managed to weave Christian or American or world history into his messages, and they were always fascinating to us. He also often admonished his flock to be good citizens, stalwart patriots in the mode of our original Founding Generation. He was never hesitant to rail against the evils and injustices that our own government was committing against the American people. To my mind, D. James Kennedy was the sort of shepherd of the flock that all pastors should be, but that so few actually are, since for many years most pastors were more afraid of saying something “offensive” against “our” government than they were determined to preach “the whole Word of God”, apparently being afraid of losing their church’s IRS tax exemption.
Judge Orders Colorado Coroner to Release Unredacted Copy of Lexi Arguello’s Autopsy
- Details
- By Operation Rescue and Life Legal Defense Foundation
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — After working behind the scenes and within the courts for over a year, Operation Rescue and Life Legal Defense Foundation won a huge victory in one of the most pro-abortion states in America, finally obtaining the unredacted copy of Lexi Arguello’s autopsy.
Lexi Arguello developed a catastrophic complication during a second trimester abortion performed by Planned Parenthood on February 6, 2025. Public testimony soon revealed Planned Parenthood likely waited “too late” to call 911 and delayed emergency care even further by reportedly requesting a silent approach – no lights or sirens. Lexi died at the hospital hours later.
The unredacted autopsy concluded that 18-year-old Lexi Arguello died from complications following a second-trimester surgical abortion at 21 weeks and 6 days gestation.
Georgia 2026 Election Results to Be Aggregated in Secret Bunker -- SOS Refusal to Allow State Election Board Observers Violates Law
- Details
- By Press Release
ATLANTA — Georgia’s 2026 election results will be aggregated on Election Night by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from a “secret bunker” which is off limits to candidates, the public and even to State Election Board (SEB) members who have requested access. The secret aggregation of election results is a clear violation of state election transparency law which requires all election officials to conduct all election activities in public. The law specifically states:
“Superintendents, poll officers, and other officials engaged in the conducting of primaries and elections held under this chapter shall perform their duties in public.” O.C.G.A. § 21-2-406
Chairman’s Corner: 2027 Budget & Public Safety
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
I believe Sheriff Lewis and I have genuine mutual respect for one another. Just recently, we were together during a Citizens Academy class at the Law Enforcement Center (mentioned in my Substack), talking with the class about how the media loves to turn routine governance into some kind of dramatic showdown.
We are both elected leaders doing the jobs we were each chosen to do, and sometimes those jobs put us on opposite sides of a budget ledger, even when we share the exact same goal.
A safe, thriving Greenville County.
I also want to be crystal clear before we go any further, that nothing in this newsletter is an attack on the Sheriff, his deputies, or this agency.
What it is, is the full picture. The data, the context, and the honest conversation that you deserve to have.
What to Do About Rising Prices
- Details
- By Anne Schlafly - Eagle Forum Chairman
Like the weather, everyone is talking about “affordability”, but no one is doing anything about it. Or, what they propose to do will surely increase prices and decrease affordability. The fastest way to increase prices is by introducing government subsidies, because the large influx of free money distorts the market-based economy. Government is unable to contain costs whenever it throws taxpayer money as the solution. America needs market-based solutions to rein in rising prices.
Child Care
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) have jointly proposed expanding government subsidies for day care under the guise of “affordability”. Expanding day care to very young ages is neither care nor education, but institutional babysitting.
The Political Hot Potato: AI Data Centers

Political Backlash
Alarm bells are sounding across the USA on one of the hottest bipartisan issues of the 2026 elections: AI data centers. Voters from both parties are united in their opposition, and many are heading to the polls with this question front and center: Will this candidate actually protect and represent us, or sell out to Big Tech and its massive AI data centers? In Florida, this growing backlash is hitting especially hard, as residents watch Rep. Byron Donalds’ gubernatorial campaign get flooded with millions from AI billionaires eager to turn the Sunshine State into their next profit playground at the expense of our water, air, power bills, and quality way of life.
Budget Should Prioritize Law Enforcement and Public Safety
- Details
- By Greenville County Councilman Steve Shaw
Council should prioritize public safety and roads. Increase prioritization of the Greenville County Sheriff's Office can help with both.
The Sheriff has presented Council with figures showing that we are losing deputies to other departments. A strong contributing factor is compensation disparity between county, city, and state opportunities.
My experience with Council is that it is very status quo with the budget.
Are schools replacing merit with identity politics?
- Details
- By USPIE
Schools are clearly veering away from their proper mission of teaching reading, writing and math into personal development, which has always been the responsibility of the family .
In many American classrooms today, students are no longer evaluated solely on what they know, but increasingly on how they think, react, cooperate and on their self-image, according to a recent report by The Federalist.
Programs called “Portrait of a Graduate,” “Future Ready Learner” and “Whole Child Development” are becoming more common in government schools.
HHS Announces Restructuring of its Office for Civil Rights
- Details
- By U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today announced a reorganization of its Office for Civil Rights (OCR), the Department’s law enforcement agency charged with enforcing laws protecting civil rights, conscience and religious freedom, and health information privacy and security. The reorganization returns OCR to a program-based structure that aligns OCR’s three critical substantive areas with three distinct subject-matter divisions: the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division, the Civil Rights Division, and the Health Information Privacy, Data, and Cybersecurity Division.
“This reorganization restores the HHS Civil Rights Division and the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division and strengthens the Office for Civil Rights’ ability to defend religious liberty, enforce conscience protections, and combat unlawful discrimination,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “Under President Trump’s leadership, HHS will defend these rights with clarity, accountability, and resolve.”

Historic Army Hymn Gains National Recognition Following National Media Attention
WASHINGTON — Following recent coverage in Christianity Today, Baptist Press, and the Montgomery County Chronicle, a newly released sacred composition, “Eternal Father, Hear Our Prayer,” has gained nationwide recognition as the United States Army Hymn.
Formally introduced by United States Space Force Hymn composer and retired Army Chaplain (Major) James F. Linzey, the piece follows in the tradition of the United States Navy Hymn, “Eternal Father, Strong to Save,” as a dedicated sacred hymn for Army personnel, veterans, and military families.
The hymn has also been professionally engraved, recorded, and produced by Dan Kreider Music.
The Science of Entropy and Applied Energy
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Today, we are dealing with a topic that may scare some people. That topic is thermodynamics. It's a big word, but it is really not that difficult, particularly in the areas we are going to be talking about. While a really deep scientific dive into this topic can get highly mathematical and complicated, here we are going to keep it simple enough to understand even without a physics degree.
One of the issues that has frequently been raised against both evolution and its counterpart, the naturalistic origin of life called abiogenesis, is that the laws of thermodynamics present a problem for these ideas, particularly the second law. After all, they require a reduction of entropy that goes contrary to the natural tendencies expected from the second law.

PANORAMA CITY, Calif. — More than 1,100 students at St. Genevieve Parish Schools in Panorama City formed a mile-long human chain through their neighborhood as part of a massive civic demonstration supporting the Federal Tax Credit Scholarship Program, a newly enacted federal initiative that could bring billions of additional education dollars into California beginning in 2027.
Dressed in purple shirts reading, “Governor Newsom, Say Yes to the FTCS,” students stretched block after block from their campus to the local post office, hand-delivering more than 15,000 postcards urging California to participate in the program.
SC’s Largest Multi-Candidate Primary Event Brings Republicans Across the Ballot Under One Roof

Candidates talk with voters one-on-one as grassroots coalition overcomes a sabotage effort against the meet-and-greet event
GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. — In what many attendees described as a rare and unusually broad gathering of Republican candidates from federal, statewide, legislative, and local races all under one roof, Greenville County conservative grassroots organizations drew candidates, activists, media personalities, and voters together Monday evening for what organizers called a highly successful second “Get Connected!” voter engagement event ahead of the June 9th Republican Primary. Several longtime political organizers said they could not recall another grassroots political event in South Carolina's primary history that brought together so many candidates from across the ballot in one public setting.
Held May 11th at Hughes Main Library on Heritage Green Plaza, the political engagement event featured candidates from federal, statewide, and local races meeting directly with voters in an open forum atmosphere organized by a coalition of Upstate conservative Republican groups in partnership with 98.9 WORD radio.
Republicans Claw Their Way Back into the Midterms with Polling and Redistricting Surge
- Details
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
They’re building a 110-foot Ferris wheel on the National Mall, but maybe a roller coaster would be more appropriate. That’s what Americans have been riding when it comes to Congress. The two sides keep trading places on the midterm election desperation scale, and with six months to go, everything is as fluid as the Potomac. But considering where the GOP was just three weeks ago, that’s a major improvement.
Republicans, who barely had a political heartbeat heading into November, were brought back to life by twin court rulings — one that struck down Virginia Democrats’ appalling new congressional map and another that ended the practice of racial gerrymandering that hamstrung the GOP in southern states for decades. And while Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) party is breathing a collective sigh of relief, the reality is this: if Congress were a popularity contest, there would be no winners right now. Both parties have significant optics problems, and judging by voters’ disillusionment with Washington, solving them will be tough.
If You’re A Modern “Liberal,” Be Ashamed!

In the Year of our Lord, 2026, our American nation finds itself (well, at least its citizens do) seemingly split down the middle over “politics”; more specifically split between those who call themselves conservatives and/or ”Americanists”, who honor and respect the “old ways” of freedom under law and limited government that were codified by our Founders in our no-longer-honored Constitution and transmitted to all of mankind through the centuries by God’s Eternal Word (our Holy Bible—also increasingly dishonored by skeptics and anti-Gods), and those who call themselves modern “liberals” (both theological and political), who essentially reject almost everything that conservatives believe in and honor—especially limited Constitutional government and Biblical Christianity.

The Moon from a Creationist Perspective
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
From a creationist perspective, the Moon is understood not as the result of naturalistic processes over billions of years, but as a purposefully designed object created by God, primarily described in the Bible—especially in the Book of Genesis.
This is in contrast to the atheistic perspective, which is filled largely with naturalistic models that have been either demonstrated to be false or patched up with untestable just-so stories.
Created Intentionally by God
The Creationist Perspective on the moon starts with Genesis 1, which states that God made “the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night.” Now, contrary to some claims made by scoffers, this does not imply that the moon creates its own light. It is simply indicating that one of the moon's purposes is to provide light for the Earth. The fact that light is reflected from the sun does not change this purpose.
GPATS: Your Voice Matters on the Future of Transportation in Greenville County
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
Over the next couple of weeks, GPATS (Greenville-Pickens Area Transportation Study) will be holding a series of public meetings across our community as part of the Horizon 2050 Long-Range Transportation Plan process.
Now, I know “long-range transportation planning” may not sound like the most exciting topic in the world, but the reality is this process directly affects everyday life for people across Greenville County for decades to come.
These conversations help shape decisions involving road widening projects, intersection improvements, traffic flow, bridge replacements, transit planning, pedestrian connectivity, and overall infrastructure priorities. In many cases, the projects discussed during these planning cycles become the projects competing for state and federal funding years down the road.
