SCDOT spending tens of millions on the nonexistent I-73; can’t account for $8M
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Some 37 years after the idea was first proposed, Interstate 73 in South Carolina exists only on paper.
Yet since 2004, the state Department of Transportation has spent at least $77 million on the project – much of it for design costs and land purchases along the proposed route from North Carolina to the Myrtle Beach area, The Nerve found in a review of DOT records.

Better than Trump
- By Ben Graydon
The one thing that Jesus-followers have going for them that nobody in any religion has is the love of Jesus.
Jesus is the Rock, the common ground of all who know Him, love Him and name Him as Savior and Lord. Despite all of the fussing about stupid stuff – hair, music, dress, associations, etc. – that we may do down here, when it’s all said and done, if we’re His, we’re family. And that’s what we should all focus on.

Who's Calling the Shots?
- By Ray Simmons
The more I see, the more I hear, the more certain I am that we who were born into the Greatest Generation have failed to pass on the elements of culture that created that generation and made it the Greatest. We refer to this current generation as the millennials. Do we know what that term means? It seems to me they think they are people replacing the past millennium and it is their duty to tell us how we are to live the next millennium. Their big problem is, in attempting to show us how smart they are, they are revealing their stupidity and their total lack of common sense. It seems that Washington might be spreading that disease; I’ve noticed a lot of smart people who go there seem to lose their common sense pretty quick.
Facebook Faces Facts on Bias
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
"If this isn't bias, what is?" Good question -- one that Facebook had better be prepared to answer. If they don't, at least four senators are about to make life difficult for more than CEO Mark Zuckerberg. After months insisting there's "no prejudice" against conservatives, Americans aren't buying it. Neither is Congress, and that's bad news for the Big Tech liberals at Twitter, Google, and Pinterest.
Duncan Opposes Misguided Anti-Energy Exploration Bills
- By Press Release
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Jeff Duncan (SC-03), the Co-Chair of the House Energy Action Team (HEAT), released the following statement after opposing two restrictive and misguided anti-energy exploration bills:
“An all-of-the-above energy matrix is necessary to further the American energy renaissance our nation is experiencing. U.S. energy exploration and production lowers electric costs for consumers, provides good paying jobs, safeguards national security, and keeps our country as a global energy leader. These proposals would halt all the progress made over the last two and a half years.
Christ Community Church Dedicates New Worship Space
- By Suzanne Smith
SIMPSONVILLE, SC - Christ Community Church of Simpsonville, S.C., dedicated its new and expanded worship space at 700 Harrison Bridge Road with a two-hour evening program and service. Felder & Associates served as the lead architect in partnership with the Aspen Group, a design firm that specializes in church construction.
The $2.8 million addition and renovation includes a new 5,700-square-foot worship facility that can seat 420 people, along with a new office addition of 1,320 square feet. The existing worship service was converted to “Third Place” space — a welcoming connecting space that includes a coffee bar and comfortable seating for casual gatherings, group meeting, dining and fellowship.
State Agencies Sitting on Big Reserves; Lawmakers Returning Little to Taxpayers
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
If the S.C. House of Representatives decided to forgo its entire $22.7 million budget this fiscal year, it could still pay all of its expected bills – with more than $650,000 left over.
That’s because the 124-member chamber carried over nearly $23.4 million in general funds into this fiscal year for its operations, state comptroller general records show. And the legislative body isn’t the only state agency with fat taxpayer-funded reserves, a review by The Nerve found.
Watch What You Eat
- By Tucker Carlson & Neil Patel
As George Orwell once noted, "The worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents." According to Orwell, the typical socialist is "either a youthful snob-Bolshevik ... or, still more typically, a prim little man with a white-collar job, usually a secret teetotaler, and often with vegetarian leanings." Orwell wrote those words in 1937, but they're entirely recognizable today, especially the line about vegetarianism. There's something about the left that makes them highly neurotic about food. That's been true for generations, but there's evidence the impulse is getting worse.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is Weak on Waste
- By US Rep. Jeff Duncan
Sen. Elizabeth Warren recently visited South Carolina where she touted her extreme socialist agenda; the professor’s uneducated lecture on nuclear energy and nuclear waste really missed the mark. Her devastating proposals, like the Green New Deal which eliminates nuclear energy, should be overwhelmingly rejected by South Carolinians. But while she’s traveling our state, the least she could do is pretend to be informed on issues that matter to our communities.

No doubt you want your child to be successful in life, too. That’s why a new school year is the perfect time to start saving for your child’s future education.
Article by Dr. Kirk Neely
- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
Dr. Kirk Neely, Religion Department at the University of South Carolina Upstate, recently wrote an article in an upstate newspaper correctly pinpointing hatred and prejudice as a basic problem of mankind which often results in physical violence and death to others. (Remembering 9/11, 09-13-19: also worth reading for memorializing tragic, useless human suffering and brave actions of first responders.) Mankind clearly needs help! Dr. Neely advocated studying other world faith systems as a solution to counter hatred. Perhaps we would do better, instead, to advocate adherents of other world faith systems in the United States and around the world to study Christianity for individual self reflection? It was not individual adherents of Christianity that brought down the Twin Towers! Dr. Neely concludes man should be more loving toward others. True!! But where do we get that individual power? History of mankind graphically demonstrates we humans do not have the inherent power to end hatred, violence and war among men. Man’s hatred can not be overcome by “human” wisdom or “human” religion! But there is a wisdom and truth that transcends collective human wisdom for individuals!
Buttigieg Distorts Logic and Scripture on Abortion
- By David Limbaugh
Perhaps Mayor Pete Buttigieg would have a better shot at appealing to Christian voters if he would not go to such extreme lengths to contort Scripture to rationalize his party's abominable stance on abortion.
The Democratic presidential candidate openly expresses his Christian faith and was the first candidate to hire a national faith outreach director. He believes political conservatism is less compatible with Christianity than political liberalism.
After Bolton, Trump Goals Remain Unrealized
- By Pat Buchanan
The sudden and bitter departure of John Bolton from the White House was baked in the cake from the day he arrived there.
For Bolton's worldview, formed and fixed in a Cold War that ended in 1991, was irreconcilable with the policies Donald Trump promised in his 2016 campaign. Indeed, Trump was elected because he offered a foreign policy that represented a repudiation of what John Bolton had advocated since the end of the Cold War.

Florida Puts Education Back Into Public Education
- By Eagle Forum
Editor’s Note - Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida has taken concrete steps to rid Florida’s public schools of the colossal mistake we call Common Core. His appointment of Richard Corcoran in 2018 as the state’s Education Commissioner has already produced good fruit, as can be seen by Corcoran’s recently released “Back-to-School Reading List” for students in grades K-12. Donna Garner with EducationViews.org shares this important resource that can be utilized by teachers and parents alike. Pat Daugherty, Ed.D.
Florida’s Super Reading List — Gutting Common Core From Its Schools
I commend Florida under Gov. Ron DeSantis for making great strides toward gutting Common Core from its public schools. Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran (appointed by Gov. DeSantis in Dec. 2018) has released a Back-to-School Reading List for Grades K – 12.
NASA's Space Telescopes Confirm Peculiar Statement Recorded in Genesis to be Scientifically Accurate
- By Christian Newswire
A peculiar statement recorded by Moses 3500 years ago has made no sense to anyone until NASA space telescope discoveries were made in 2004-2007 about how planets like Earth form from a formless cloud of dust just as Genesis indicates.
CLEVELAND -- According to NASA 2004-2007 discoveries, planets like the Earth are formed in the exact same fashion as described in Genesis, according to author J. Paul Hutchins.
While doing research for his book, Hubble Reveals Creation by an Awe-Inspiring Power, Hutchins discovered that NASA scientist have learned that planets form around infant stars inside a protoplanetary disc of dust and debris, starting out in a formless and chaotic state in total darkness, hidden from the sun, as described by Moses.
7 Dem Debate Questions Jorge Ramos Won't Ask
- By Michelle Malkin
These are the rules of the militant open borders media:
If you are a self-declared Donald Trump-hating "activist journalist" who works for an ethnic separatist TV network that unapologetically elevates illegal immigrants over American citizens, you get to be a "moderator" at the next Democratic presidential candidates' debate.
Case in point: Univision's Jorge Ramos.
Speaker Pelosi's Hearing Problem
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
It's not every day that you see the GOP caucus conducting business in the House visitors center. But today wasn't just any day. It wasn't just a defining moment for the Republican party but the Democratic party as well. For the first time in years, the House minority held a pro-life hearing in open defiance of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). They'd tried to schedule the event through regular order -- but the answer was the same as the other 80 times they asked Democrats to help them stop infanticide: No.
Hearing on Heartbeat Bill Today in SC
- By SCGOP
Just a reminder - TODAY will be an important day for the pro-life cause in South Carolina.

Another Busy Week: President Trump Fuels HBCU Education Tank, Life Support for Babies Surges, Black and Brown Congress Caucus Convenes
- By Alveda King
This week, President Trump is still keeping his word to Historically Black Colleges and Universities. He's slated to speak at the HBCU Conference today, where he is expected to unveil recent advances in his successful strategies.
Meanwhile, as Executive Director of Civil Rights for The Unborn for Priests for Life, Evangelist Alveda King, your "boots on the ground" freedom fighter, is joining Pro-life activists Rev. Frank Pavone, Janet Morana, and other pro-life and Christian leaders from around the country in DC today to knock on Congress' doors to demand justice for womb babies.
New State Department Documents Reveal Last-Minute Efforst by Obama State Department to Undermine President Trump
- By Judicial Watch
Emails show Hillary Clinton’s supporters’ efforts to get classified documents and raw intelligence on alleged Russia involvement in 2016 election to Capitol Hill before Trump inauguration
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released 90 pages of heavily redacted U.S. Department of State documents showing Obama State Department officials’ efforts to disseminate classified information to multiple U.S. Senators immediately prior to President Donald Trump’s inauguration. The information, which included raw intelligence, purported to show “malign” Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Among the senators receiving the classified documents were Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), and Sen. Robert Corker (R-TN).
More Debt for More Interstates: Takeaways from the Latest STIB Meeting
- By The Nerve
Members of the State Transportation Infrastructure Bank (STIB) board recently discussed their desire to explore expanding South Carolina’s interstates through the STIB.
While nothing was voted on or confirmed, the ideas floated included finding additional funding streams, “encouraging” the state Department of Transportation to partner with STIB to build interstates, and expanding the STIB’s charter to allow it to circumvent DOT’s priority list and build interstates now.
HEAT Co-Chairs Oppose Restrictive Energy Exploration Bills
- By US Rep. Jeff Duncan
WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Energy Action Team co-chairs Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) and Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) joined House Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) to oppose three energy-related bills on the House floor this week.
HEAT is committed to the development, deployment, and efficient use of all-of-the-above energy resources. Three natural resource bills on the floor this week, H.R. 205, H.R. 1941, and H.R. 1146, are misguided attempts to restrict energy development throughout federal lands and off our coasts. Our nation has vast natural resources that we are capable of harnessing in a safe and environmentally-conscious way. Energy sector jobs are proven and reliable sources of employment for millions of Americans and these bills impose top-down government mandates rather than encouraging bottom-up American ingenuity.
Academic Stupidity and Brainwashing
- By Walter Williams
Just when we thought colleges could not spout loonier ideas, we have a new one from American University. They hired a professor to teach other professors to grade students based on their "labor" rather than their writing ability. The professor that American University hired to teach that nonsense is Asao B. Inoue, who is a professor at the University of Washington in Tacoma in interdisciplinary arts and sciences. He is also the director of the university's writing center. Inoue believes that a person's writing ability should not be assessed, in order to promote "anti-racist" objectives. Inoue taught American University's faculty members that their previous practices of grading writing promoted white language supremacy. Inoue thinks that students should be graded on the effort they put into a project.
Constitutional Carry
- By Lois Gates - Greenville, SC
I do not understand why the bill H.3456 is not on the floor of SC Congress for discussion and passing of this bill. What are you doing to protect my 2nd Amendment rights?
American history and history of other nations tells us not to give up our guns:
- A Japanese General was asked, “Why did you bomb Pearl Harbor instead of coming on land to attack America”? He stated because all the Americans had guns and would shoot us. We would be fighting the military and the people. We could not win that way.
- Look at what’s going on in Venezuela since given up their guns. They kept warning us to not give up our guns for years. Telling us to look at them. They refused for a long time not to give up their guns, but over the years they gave in. They stated that within months after giving up their guns, they were under dictatorship.
A Farewell to Firearms?
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Let's hope the August recess was a relaxing one, because conservative lawmakers will need every last ounce of energy to fight the onslaught of bad bills waiting for them in the House. With more Americans desperate for answers than ever after a month of horrific mass shootings, Democrats think they have one: gun control. And not just any gun control. This time, the Left's attack on the Second Amendment comes with a helping of politically-correct thought control.
The Deadly History of Socialism
- By Dennis Behreandt - The New American
Many Americans, especially young people, want to get rid of capitalism — because of its inequality — and install socialism as a replacement. But such a plan has been tried all over the world, with disastrous results.
Today, if you are a young adult, finishing high school or making your way through college, or maybe even just entering the workforce, you have been made keenly aware of inequality by your teachers, your guidance counselors, and by nearly everything you see and hear in the media.
