Bradley Pulls Out of October 7 Spartanburg County Republican Party Forum, Reaffirms Commitment to Voter-First Campaign
- Details
- By Press Release
GREER, S.C. — Justin Bradley, candidate for State Senate District 12, announced today that he will not participate in the Spartanburg County Republican Party's October 7 forum, citing the Party's failure to follow agreed rules and ensure a fair process for all Republican candidates.
"This race should be decided by the voters, not by Party insiders stacking the deck for their preferred candidate," Bradley said.
Bradley explained that despite the special election being announced in August, he was only approached last week by County Chairman Frank Tiller about joining a still-developing forum.
County Council Conservatives Address Republican Women
- Details
- By Terry M. Thacker
Development in Greenville County and the future of long-time county administrator Joe Kernell were the main topics of discussion this past Monday at the Greenville County Republican Women's luncheon, which was held at the Poinsett Club.
County Council Chairman Benton Blount and four first-time members of Council, conservatives all, were the featured guest speakers before an audience of about 100. The four were Curt McGahhey, Kelly Long, Garey Collins, and Frank Farmer.
Hate's Number One Agent
- Details
- By Tony Perkins - The Washington Stand
Earlier this week, President Donald Trump issued an executive order declaring Antifa a “domestic terrorist organization,” directing federal agencies to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle its illegal operations. The order came in the wake of recent violence — including the assassination of Charlie Kirk, where the shooter left bullet casings engraved with Antifa-themed messages.
Experts note that Antifa is not a single, structured organization but a terrorist-style network. Having worked in anti-terrorism, I know most of their operations and communications are hidden underground. But they are often aided by above-ground institutions that give cover, resources, or legitimacy to the network.

Christian Revival Marred by Drifts from Sound Biblical Teaching
According to Barna Research Group’s latest data, 66 percent of all U.S. adults say they have made a personal commitment to Jesus that is still important in their life today. That marks a 12-percentage-point increase since 2021, when commitment levels reached their lowest in more than three decades of Barna tracking. Surprisingly, this revival is strongest among young men aged 30 or less. Christian commitment among this generation has risen from 52 percent in 2019 to 67 percent in 2025. There are now more men attending church than women. Church attendance for both men and women under 44 has almost doubled from 12 per year in 2020 to nearly 23 per year in 2025. Some of this is due to the Covid crisis of 2020, but it now compares favorably to 17 to 19 per year for older generations.
Have You Heard of The REAL Political Spectrum?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Confusion reigns supreme in the puzzling and sometimes rancorous discussions of who or what is a “right winger” and a “left winger”—a “conservative” or a “liberal”--in the realm of modern and often contentious and deliberately misleading American political debate. Most of us have been INCORRECTLY taught in our “Institutes of Induced Ignorance” (government/public schools) and then programmed for decades by the liberal “main stream” or “legacy” media (most newspapers, ALL TV network news, talking “heads” on MOST cable news shows, etc.) to accept their incorrect descriptionsthat communists and socialistsare “left wing”, and fascists, Nazis, monarchies, and white supremacistsare “right wing” (an oxymoronic contradiction in terms). Americans are often dismayed when they discover that what they’ve been told is truth by those they foolishly trusted for a long time is a semantic and political deception, and an outright factual LIE!
South Carolina Must Learn from Kansas’ Tax Reform Failures
- Details
- By Vance Ginn, Ph.D. - SC Policy Council
For years, critics have pointed to Kansas as a failed tax experiment—“cut taxes and calamity follows.” That’s a myth. The real problem wasn’t the tax cuts; it was the refusal to restrain spending. Kansas lowered income-tax rates in 2012 but let government outlays surge. By 2017, deficits ballooned, and lawmakers passed the largest tax hike in state history.
The lesson is simple: tax reform succeeds only when paired with strict spending discipline. You cannot reduce revenue growth while spending more.
Look at North Carolina, which cut taxes, created a flat tax, and capped spending growth. It is now on track to eliminate its corporate income tax entirely. Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma are also phasing out income taxes—precisely because they combined tax relief with fiscal restraint.
Petition Against the Orchard at Paris Mountain Development Proposal
- Details
- By Press Release
https://www.change.org/p/stop-the-orchard-at-paris-mountain?source_location=psf_petitions
The proposed Orchard at Paris Mountain, designated as PP-2025-165 on the Greenville County website, threatens to fundamentally alter the character of our cherished community. This project is inconsistent with the existing single-family residential nature of the neighborhood, jeopardizing both the environment and the quality of life that residents have long valued.
Paris Mountain is not just a location; it is a treasured part of our community, known for its tranquil natural beauty and low-density, family-oriented lifestyle. Transforming this iconic space into a dense development zone stands in stark contrast to the foundational character of our neighborhood and could set a dangerous precedent for future developments that disregard the very values that make our area a unique haven.
Studying Short-Term Rentals in Greenville County
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
One of the issues that has generated a lot of discussion over the past year is the rise of short-term rentals (STRs), homes and rooms rented out on platforms like Airbnb and VRBO, and how they fit into the fabric of our neighborhoods. At the upcoming council meeting, I will be announcing the formation of a special Ad Hoc Committee on Short-Term Rentals to take a deep dive into this issue.
As Chairman of Council, I have the ability to create short-term (or “ad hoc”) committees when a focused, time-bound effort is needed. Several members of council reached out to me with this excellent idea, and I am grateful for their willingness to step up and serve. This committee will give us a chance to slow down, study the facts, hear from the public, and craft thoughtful recommendations that work for all of Greenville County.
When You Can't Sell the Lie Whole, Sell It in Pieces: They're Back

Introduction
In his book, Tragedy and Hope, Caroll Quigley said the global elites “aim is nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system and run the world as a whole – The system in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert by secret meetings and conferences.” The lie this time is called Agenda 21/Sustainable Development.
USPIE Demands Accountability for Teachers Mocking Charlie Kirk’s Assassination
- Details
- By USPIE
The so-called educators who have made disgusting, inappropriate comments about this murder of an outspoken Christian conservative showed they are not fit to be teaching children.
Although most political leaders on both sides of the aisle have mourned the assassination of Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk, some people have actually celebrated the murder.
Kirk, 31, who had been answering a question about transgender-related violence when he was shot, left behind a wife and two young children. Various commentators expressed glee over the tragedy.
The Relationship Between Science and Peer-Review
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One claim that is commonly made against creation science is that it is not science unless it has been peer-reviewed by the proper journals. In other words, creationists doing their own peer review is not good enough; it has to be by the right journals. Naturally, by the right journals, they mean those that hold to philosophical naturalism and would never approve of an intelligent design or creationist paper. According to the people who make this claim, no matter how good the quality of the research, it does not qualify as science unless approved by the right people. This is a rather authoritarian view of science that is completely contrary to the entire idea of science and the scientific method.
Leibniz and Calhoun: The Christian March of Progress and Postmillennial Truth
- Details
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
Since the Fall, sinful humanity has used and abused language to promote their sinful designs. Today, our liberals call themselves "progressives", and suggest thereby that if we would all follow them, all would be well. Reason and reality, however, say otherwise: and they — reason and reality, by which we trace causes and effects -- clearly show that the thinking and feelings of liberal "progressives" are actually delusional and perverse inversions of reality that, if adopted as personal or public policy, lead to perdition.
All good-hearted and right-thinking people approve of and desire real progress, if by "progress" is meant improvement in the physical and moral and intellectual and spiritual condition of humanity. But the struggle between good and evil in this fallen world is so deep-seated and fundamental that it includes a prior struggle over the very definition of "good" and "evil" and of "progress" and "regress." And, in our age of mass communication and propaganda, he who controls the language controls, for good or for ill, the fate of millions and of nations.
Justin Bradley: Conservative Reformer for State Senate
- Details
- By Chip White - Greer, SC
Justin Bradley is a proven conservative reformer with a fresh vision for the statehouse. He has fought for taxpayers, stood with law enforcement, fixed roads without raising taxes, and delivered real results for Spartanburg County. Now, he’s ready to take that same fight for accountability and conservative change to the State Senate.
Justin grew up in a working-class home in Spartanburg County and became the first in his family to earn both a bachelor’s and a graduate degree, graduating from USC Upstate and the University of South Carolina School of Law. After law school, he returned home to Spartanburg County to raise his family and serve his community.
Trump Officials Preach Gospel, Praise God at Charlie Kirk Memorial Service
- Details
- By S.A. McCarthy - The Washington Stand
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was honored Sunday in a memorial service attended by President Donald Trump and members of his administration, where Kirk’s Christian faith took center stage. “It’s like an old-time revival, isn’t it?” the president asked, after listening to Charlie’s family, TPUSA colleagues, and friends in the administration preach the gospel for five hours in State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
“Eleven days ago, my friend was martyred for using his voice to engage in peaceful dialogue. Charlie’s assassin thought that he could steal and silence his voice by putting a bullet in his neck,” Kirk’s friend and TPUSA Chief of Staff Mikey McCoy recalled. Quoting philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, he continued, “The tyrant dies and his rule is over; the martyr dies and his rule has just begun. Charlie was not silenced. His movement is only beginning.” McCoy referenced one of Kirk’s frequently-worn t-shirts, featuring the slogan “live free,” and urged the tens of thousands gathered there to do so. “True freedom is not found in doing whatever we want, but pursuing Christ and doing what is right. In Charlie’s words, get married, have more children than you can afford, build a legacy, pass down your values, and pursue the eternal.”
Ukraine War Update September 22, 2025
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Facts from the Real War versus the Propaganda War
What most of the American and Western European media present to the public on the Ukraine War is Ukrainian propaganda. This propaganda is, however, the product of several dominating sources, which predominantly consist of American Deep-State agencies and their NGO (Non-government agency) fronts, a similarly entrenched anti-Russian British government bureaucracy, and a powerful and ruthless Ukrainian super-nationalist minority of not more than 5 to 15 percent. The Ukrainian core comes from the absolutely dominant and thoroughly corrupt Right Sector and Freedom Party extreme nationalists. I use the term “absolutely dominant” because there has been minimal freedom of speech, political opinion, and media expression since the Right Sector and its allies came to power after a US-backed regime-change coup in 2014—most frequently called the Maidan Revolution. Since the beginning of the Zelensky regime in 2019, all opposition parties have been outlawed; all opposition media has been shut down; and even the large and conservative Ukrainian Orthodox Church has been banned because of its connection to the Russian Orthodox Church.
Some Of Our Favorite Things

I’ve published a version of this article before, and it always gives me a chuckle or two to think about some of my “favorite things”. What about you? I’ll bet you like to think about your “favorite things” just as I do. And in this time of stress and demands by our ‘wanna-be” political masters (Marxists, Dumbocrats, Globalists, Technocrats, mega-billionaires, bought-and-paid-for politicians and the international bankers and asset investors who control all of them), perhaps you’ll get a few much needed pleasant memories to brighten your day, if only for a few moments, and ignore the ravings and babblings of the mental midgets among us who love to posture as our ‘equals” or, more amusingly, as our “betters.”
What’s The Difference Between Your Reassessment Notice & Your Property Tax Bill?

Many have recently received a reassessment notice. This is not the same thing as a property tax bill, though many people understandably are confusing them. Here’s how it works in Greenville County, what drove recent changes, and why the notice may look scary even when your tax bill doesn’t increase proportionately.

The Case Against Jerome Powell
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
It's hard to believe that a couple years ago Time magazine considered naming Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell as their Person of the Year. He may well have won, if it hadn't been for someone named Taylor Swift.
Powell has been idolized by the Left for one reason: He's been a thorn in the side of President Donald Trump for years. If Trump says "ying," Powell says "yang."
Last week Powell finally lowered the federal funds rate, and better late than never. But his speech to the media was a tirade against Trumponomics. He was filled with doom and gloom in his statement, telling global investors that the economy is growing at only 1.6% so far this year and is expected to grow 1.6% next year.
Taliban Rejects Trump’s Demand to Hand Over Bagram Air Base, Vows to Defend Afghan Sovereignty

- By Emmitt Barry, with reporting from Washington D.C. Bureau Staff
(Worthy News) – The row over Bagram Air Base has escalated sharply, with U.S. President Donald Trump warning of “bad things” if the site is not returned to American control and Taliban leaders vowing to resist any attempt to reclaim it.
On Sunday, the Taliban urged Washington to honor its commitments under the 2020 Doha Agreement, which pledged the U.S. would not threaten Afghanistan’s “territorial integrity and political independence.” The group said America must avoid “repeating the failed experiences of the past” and instead adopt a “realistic and rational approach.”

The Philosophical Nature of Origins
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The topic of origins is very important to understanding who we are and where we come from. The problem is that because none of us were there, assumptions need to be made about the types of processes going on. These assumptions are largely philosophical in nature, because our philosophical presuppositions are going to influence what types of processes we will accept.
Sadly, many people think that such research is totally objective and that the only reason creation and intelligent design models are excluded is because they're not supported by evidence. The problem is that this presumption of objectivity can easily be demonstrated to be erroneous, based on the reactions to both creation and intelligent design.

Charlie Kirk Is a Casualty of the Cultural Counterrevolution
Revolutions and counterrevolutions can get nasty and violent — even cultural revolutions and counterrevolutions. Charlie Kirk was a culture and political warrior — and a very successful one — in a conservative counterrevolution that seeks to undo the Left’s cultural revolution that began in America in the violent street riots and protests of the 1960s, and proceeded to infiltrate and ultimately to take over the country’s cultural institutions, schools, universities, post-graduate institutions, the media, and several religious institutions. This revolution also spread to politics and formed what counterrevolutionaries call the “Deep State.”
Congress Takes a Holiday from Oversight
- Details
- By Ken Buck
Given the recent headlines that President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. military to blow up three Venezuelan ships, the American people could rightly wonder if we are at war. It's a fair question, and one that Congress should be posing through oversight hearings.
The U.S. military blew up a ship on Sept. 2, killing all 11 people on board. On Sept. 15, the military struck again, this time sinking a second ship and killing three people, according to the Defense Department. And President Trump announced on Sept. 16 that, in fact, the U.S. military had "knocked off, actually, three boats." The third had not previously been disclosed.

Serious Potential Conflict between US and China
Venezuela has the largest proven crude oil reserves in the world. With over 304 billion barrels of proven crude oil reserves, Venezuela has almost 18 percent of the world’s total of 1.72 trillion barrels.
To give some global perspective, according to the US Energy Information Administration, here are the top ten: Venezuela 18%; Saudi Arabia 16%; Iran 12%; Iraq 12%; Canada 10%; United Arab Emirates (UAE) 6%; Kuwait 6%; Russia 5%; the United States 4%, and Libya 3%. China, with the second largest population in the world, 1.41 billion people, has less than 2%. India, now with the largest population, 1.46 billion, in the world has only 0.27%. The United States now has the third largest population in the world, including illegal immigrants, at 347 million.
Are We Going To Let Moon Bats Destroy Us?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
We’ve all seen them in person or on video: Little flying mammals who come out around dusk in search of insects or fruit to eat. A few of them seek out animal blood to drink, and are called “vampire” bats. Most people are afraid of bats (which don’t get in your hair, as an “old wives tale” long has claimed), but except for the remote possibility of being bitten by a rabid bat, they are harmless to humans and generally are beneficial to mankind. All except one.

Millions of Americans are now struggling to fully register and to fully understand, amidst shock and high emotion, the heinous political assassination and murder this past week of Charlie Kirk. As they painfully register the bare fact, and sorrowfully follow the news for details, they sense, quite correctly, that the country and the world in which they live with their loved ones was changed somehow by that terrible event. In their sorrow and anger, they are looking for a better understanding of the great spiritual forces at work, both within and around them. By such terrible events, the Lord Our Shepherd, with the hook of his shepherd's crook, draws us back to Him.
