Duncan on President Trump’s 2020 Census Announcement
- By US Rep. Jeff Duncan's Office
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Jeff Duncan (SC-03) released the following statement regarding President Donald Trump’s 2020 census announcement:
“The United States has every right to know how many citizens and non-citizens there are in this country – the Supreme Court and a majority of Americans agree. The original intent of the census was for apportionment of Representatives in Congress, so it’s necessary and critical we have an accurate count of citizens. I’m disappointed in the decision to abandon efforts to reinstate the common sense citizenship question on the census, a result of administrative errors by Department of Commerce lawyers. However, I am hopeful that President Trump is continuing to search for legal avenues to gather this important data. I believe this is still a fight worth having, and I’ll continue to have that fight any way that I can in Congress.”
Congressman Duncan signed a letter to Attorney General Barr encouraging inclusion of the citizenship question. Read it HERE.
Congressman Duncan offered an amendment to the appropriations process in June to strip the Democrat provision in the base bill preventing the census from asking about citizenship. Read it HERE.
Pelosi vs. AOC: It's a Beautiful Thing
- By David Limbaugh
I've often wondered whether the internal contradictions of leftist ideology would eventually cause leftists to turn on one another. Perhaps we're catching a glimpse of that in the feud between Nancy Pelosi and the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quartet.
Our Political Circus
- By Ray Simmons
I have written in several places about the political circus I am observing. When Donald Trump was elected I thought we might find a way back to sanity. Some few have, but factors beyond Trump’s reach are working to remove him from Office and undo the elements of common sense he put in motion. If most Americans will see to his reelection next year a slim possibility to preserve our nation will remain.

Celebrating Patriotic Heroines
- By Eagle Forum
Editor’s Note: With the recent dust-up around Nike’s retraction of its new Betsy Ross flag shoe, it has been surprising (or maybe not) to see the ignorance of so many about basic American history. As Dr. William J. “Bill” Federer has written, Betsy Ross was a Quaker, and Quakers were the first to go on record as opposing slavery (Germantown Petition of 1688). Perhaps this fascinating overview of some of America’s other heroic women during the time of Betsy Ross will encourage the reader to continue his or her study so that the national conversation might one day return to facts and truths about our nation’s founding. Pat Daugherty, Ed.D.
Courageous, faithful women have always played a vital role in American history. Addressing the Daughters of the American Revolution April 19, 1926, President Calvin Coolidge spoke about “the importance of women in working out the destiny of mankind…As there were fathers in our Republic, so there were mothers….By their abiding faith they inspired and encouraged the men; by their sacrifice they performed their part in the struggle out of which came our country…”
Can You Keep a Secret? So Can Your Daughter's School
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Imagine sending your daughter off to school only to find out that she was headed for an abortion appointment instead. Then imagine this: her teachers knew and never told you. In California, parents don't have to imagine it. Thanks to a new undercover video, they know -- it's already happening.
Did Lwmakers Violate Open-Meetings Law in DOT Commission Appointment?
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
An Upstate legislative delegation might have skirted the state’s open-meetings law last year by privately recommending to the governor candidates for a Department of Transportation Commission seat, The Nerve found in a review.
In interviews this week, Greenville County GOP Reps. Mike Burns and Garry Smith said the Greenville and Spartanburg county legislative delegations each sent a letter to Gov. Henry McMaster supporting a different candidate for the 4th Congressional District seat currently held by Woodrow “Woody” Willard.

NGU Named Top Affordable Online Christian University
- By LaVerne Howell - NGU
Tigerville, SC – Selecting a college can be difficult enough, but when you need to find a school that matches both your faith and your budget, the search can seem overwhelming. To help, Great Value Colleges (GVC) researched the options for distance education students looking for a top affordable online Christian college and came up with their Top 60 ranking. North Greenville University (NGU) has been named to the 60 Most Affordable Accredited Online Christian Colleges for 2019.
The Constitution, the Census and Citizenship
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
Late last month, the Supreme Court ruled on a challenge to a question that the Commerce Department announced it would add to the 2020 census. The census itself has been mandated by the Constitution to be taken every 10 years so that representation in the House of Representatives could be fairly apportioned to reflect population changes.
Over the years, the folks who prepare the census developed an appetite for peering into the personal lives of everyone living in America, and Congress -- which has the same mentality as the Census bureaucrats -- permitted this. So, the Census Bureau began adding personal questions in the census itself.
Why Illegals Are Crashing the Border
- By R. Cort Kirkwood - The New American
The Axios website purported to tell readers yesterday “why the migrant crisis is happening now” at the southwest frontier of the United States.
Some of what it reported is right. Some of it wrong.
But one thing the writer did correctly assess, if for the wrong reason, is the situation. It is a crisis ... for Americans.
Epstein, Bean & Buck: The Democratic Donors' Sex-Creep Club
- By Michelle Malkin
Well, well, well. "Follow the facts," Democratic strategist Christine Pelosi now advises fellow liberals in the wake of billionaire and high-flying political financier Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking indictment this week. Some of "our faves" could be implicated in the long-festering scandal, the Pelosi daughter warned, so it's time to "let the chips fall where they may."
Ask Your Congressman to Vote NO on the Threat to our National Security
- By Eagle Forum
This week the House of Representatives votes on H.R. 2500 or the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (NDAA) and the Speier Amendment. Although, the NDAA is necessary to fund our nation’s defense Democrats have insisted on using the legislation to advance their anti-Trump and gender redefining agenda.
SC Legislative Update
- By SC Rep. Bobby Cox
Thank you for the honor to serve as your State Representative in Columbia. With the first session of the 123rd General Assembly complete, I am including an update on the South Carolina House of Representatives major efforts this past session. I’ll also lay out efforts for the off session such as getting answers to our roads’ situation. This is a long note packed with info. I’ve tried to keep you informed throughout this session of what is going on in Columbia and will continue to do so.
Corn Chip Christianity
- By Ben Graydon
Pop open a bag, grab a handful, and munch. They’re salty, savory, and snack-worthy. But there’s nothing to them – no nutrition, no satisfaction, and no filling.
Many Christians have the same sort of spiritual life. They pop into a church on Sunday, observe a performance, get some emotional stirring and hear a good word or two, but then go out the door the same way (internally) they came in. That is the way it is designed to … by “church leaders.” Because it sells and, in some shallow way, keeps the church relevant in the eyes of enough consumers to keep the doors to the church (a business) open.
A Hedge of Allegiance
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Until recently, most people didn't know that a town called St. Louis Park, Minnesota even existed. And if you asked most residents, a vote against the Pledge of Allegiance isn't how they'd choose to be introduced. But thanks to five misguided council members, the suburb of Minneapolis is officially on the map. And not in a way anyone's proud of.
Are Democrats Ceding the Center to Trump?
- By Pat Buchanan
Since the Democratic debates in June, the tide seems to have receded for the party and its presidential hopefuls.
In new polls, only Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump comfortably.
The other top-tier candidates -- Sens. Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, and Mayor Pete Buttigieg -- are running even with Trump, a measurable drop. A Washington Post-ABC poll just found Trump at 47% approval, a new high for his presidency.
Our Free Speech Crisis
- By Walter Williams
The First Amendment to our Constitution was proposed by the 1788 Virginia ratification convention during its narrow 89 to 79 vote to ratify the Constitution. Virginia's resolution held that the free exercise of religion, right to assembly and free speech could not be canceled, abridged or restrained. These Madisonian principles were eventually ratified by the states on March 1, 1792.

“Betsy Ross” Flag Flap Just Latest in Left’s Assault on America
- By Steve Byas, The New American
The Betsy Ross flag flap is just the latest salvo fired in the Left’s war on the Founding of the United States.
When the movement to wipe out all the flags, statues, street names, and the like of people and symbols associated with the late Confederate States of America began, some observers of cultural trends warned that this Taliban-like effort would eventually make its way to the Founding Fathers, and indeed, the Founding of the country.

Crushing Peoples, Truth, Values, and Freedom
- By Mike Scruggs
Statist Ideology and Total War Doctrine
In 1870, Union General Philip Sheridan was assigned as a guest of the King of Prussia to observe the Franco-Prussian War. At a dinner honoring Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, he shared some of his military experience and philosophy with Prussian Army officers:
“First, deal as hard blows to the enemy’s soldiers as possible, and then cause so much suffering to the inhabitants of the country that they will long for peace and press their government to make it…Nothing should be left to the people but eyes to lament the war.”
Is President Trump’s USMCA “Free Trade” Agreement The T.P.P. In Disguise?
- By W.H. Lamb
I consider myself to be a political “Independent”, a long time ex- member of the Republican Compromise Party, and never, never ever a member of the “Klan of New Bolsheviks Party” (formerly Democrats). No one has been a firmer supporter, in general, of President Trump, his policies, his patriotism, and his determination to “Make America Great Again”, than I have been, despite his actual or conjectured moral lapses over the years (lapses which have also surfaced in almost EVERY POTUS since our beginning)!
Trump's Patriotism Vs. The New Anti-Americanism
- By Pat Buchanan
Despite all the grousing and griping about his "politicizing" of the Fourth of July and "militarizing" America's birthday, President Donald Trump turned the tables on his antagonists, and pulled it off.
As master of ceremonies and keynote speaker at his "Salute to America" Independence Day event, Trump was a manifest success.
A president acting as president is almost always a more effective campaigner than a president acting as campaigner. And Trump, in what he said and did not say, played the president Thursday night.
Free Speech Without Teeth
- By Eagle Forum
As families across the nation are celebrating the United States’ independence, some are bracing themselves for the contentious topic of politics to be brought up at the weekend cookout. While these conversations may be distressing for some and enjoyable for others, we can all be thankful that our founding fathers established a nation where we can speak freely and disagree with others. However, freedom of speech is not always a given, especially on college campuses.
'Real America' Inside the Beltway
- By Salena Zito
WASHINGTON -- It is often said our nation's capital is filled with wealthy college-educated elites operating in a company town where everything is transactional. They are a clubby set of folks who can "fail up" in their profession and rarely interact meaningfully with anyone who isn't part of their peerage. They have lost touch with whomever they used to be wherever they used to come from.
