Statement from Gov. Henry McMaster on PSC Ruling
- By SC Governor's Office
COLUMBIA, S.C. - Governor Henry McMaster today released the following statement in response to the Public Service Commission's approval of the SCANA/Dominion merger:
"Since we learned of SCANA and Santee Cooper’s decision to abandon the VC Summer Project, my goal has been to ensure that the customers bear no burden for the failings of others. The Public Service Commission – which I am confident has vigorously sought to make the best of a bad situation – has conducted a transparent, open process and has carefully deliberated the positions of ratepayers, the power companies, and the court.
"Our goal now must be to learn from these failures, to never repeat them, and to continue to work diligently for the growth and prosperity of South Carolina."

Voter Fraud Probe Could Lead to Election Redo HERE
- By GOP Presidential
With fraud allegations still plaguing an uncertified North Carolina congressional election, voters could head back to the polls for a brand new election – primary and all.
North Carolina’s state legislature voted Wednesday to require both new primary and general elections should the state elections board decide to call for a redo. Accusations of voter fraud and ballot irregularities have bedeviled the 9th Congressional District election.
Pelosi and Schumer Show Their Colors
- By David Limbaugh
Contrary to liberal media reporting, the Oval Office meeting with President Trump, Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was a win for Trump, both in substance and in tone.
The meeting gave people an opportunity to see who fears transparency, who's misrepresenting his/her position and who is being the aggressor in the border debate, and it's not Donald Trump.
Truth vs. Lies
- By Eagle Forum
What is it about human nature that makes us more willing to believe the worst news rather than the best news? During the second week of the latest international climate change conference being held in Katowice, Poland COP24, two groups showed up with news - one group predicting a catastrophic disaster and the other with a message of hope and encouragement.
The DNC is Mad at Preachers Because the DNC Worships Abortion
- By Erick Erickson
The DNC wouldn’t need to worry how to silence preachers preaching against evil if they would just stop promoting it.
I spend a lot of time in the pulpit. So I suppose that I more than most should find offense in the recent complaint by Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez that too many people get their information from what they hear in, “the pulpit on Sunday.” But I wasn’t offended when the Democrats booed their party for re-inserting the word “God” back into their platform in 2012. I wasn’t offended when that same group booed the opening prayer of their convention in 2016. I wasn’t offended when Barack Obama mocked those who cling to their religion. So when I learned of Perez’s comments, I admit to finding them par for the course. In fact, I see them as more curious than anything.
They Weren't Prepared for This
- By Tony Perkins
Where does raising a white flag in the battle over your core values lead? Ask the Boy Scouts of America. After throwing up their hands on 103 years of conviction, the group may finally be learning that standing on principle isn't easy -- but it's a whole lot better than the alternative.
The fight to live out your beliefs can be an exhausting one. Until 2000, the Scouts had spent years in court just for the freedom to stick to its moral code. They won, but -- to the organization's dismay -- the battle didn't end. Waves of LGBT activists kept coming, and the pressure built until 2013, when BSA leaders gave into the lie that compromise would be their salvation. Five years later, we all can see: there's almost nothing left to save.

What Lies Behind the Malaise of the West?
- By Pat Buchanan
Is it coincidence or contagion, this malady that seems to have suddenly induced paralysis in the leading nations of the West?
With lawyer-fixer Michael Cohen's confession that he colluded with Donald Trump in making hush money payoffs to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, America's stage is set for a play that will run two years.
As Democrats test the waters for a presidential run by savaging Trump, the establishment Trump detests and defeated in 2016 will use every weapon in its considerable arsenal to break and bring him down, as it did half a century ago to Richard Nixon.

Paul Ryan Blocks Bill to End Questionable Middle East Policy
- By GOP Presidential
House Speaker Paul Ryan on Wednesday pushed language through the House that will prevent lawmakers from taking up any resolution to end U.S. support for the war in Yemen this year.
The language was passed just as the Senate was set to start debate on a resolution that aims to end U.S. involvement in Yemen, a response to anger over Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the death of dissident Jamal Khashoggi.
Trump Derails the Marrakech Express
- By John & Andy Schlafly
A new attempt to impose globalism unfolds in Marrakech, Morocco, under the guise of helping migrants. Most of the 193 countries in the United Nations convened there in order to create new international law to require every participating country to accept vast hordes of foreign migrants, and be subjected to this new form of globalism.
Any other president, Republican or Democrat, would probably welcome and join this undermining of national sovereignty. But in another reminder of how great Trump is, he leads the way in denouncing this virulent strain of globalism.
If Necessary, Shut Down the Government to Get the Wall
- By Erick Erickson
It is way past time to get a real commitment
It is way past time to get a real commitment for a wall. I do not care how many Americans support or oppose the wall. The President made it a central plank of his platform, Republicans have campaigned in favor of it and pretended repeatedly to fund it, and I think it is a visible symbol of our resolve to both secure our borders and stop these ridiculous caravans that keep traveling north.
Adam and Eve: Genetic Science Confirms Bible Again (Amen)
- By Bryan Fischer - AFA
The Bible and its account of origins is treated with utter contempt by cultural elites, those who look down their noses at the rubes and hayseeds (like me) who place great confidence in the Book.
Well, the elites better hope their peers don’t get their hands on the report about the latest in genetic science. The reason: genetic scientists are telling us now that there is powerful and virtually irrefutable scientific evidence that every human being on earth has descended from a single pair of parents. The Bible, of course, goes science one better, and even gives us the names of our original ancestors, “Adam” and “Eve.”
It Depends on What the Meaning of "Sex" is
- By Eagle Forum
The American College of Pediatricians is spearheading a petition supporting the Administration's recent clarification that "sex" denotes biological sex and not gender identity. The Obama administration had previously expanded the definition of sex in Title IX to include “gender”. The petition is a strong, well-documented statement necessary to protect the integrity of American culture as well as confused young people. It is linked below. Please sign it and circulate it to your networks ASAP. It needs many more signatures to send a strong message to the Justice, HHS and Education Departments.
Duncan Releases Statement on the Farm Bill
- By US Rep. Jeff Duncan's Office
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Jeff Duncan (SC-03) released the following statement on the Agriculture and Nutrition Act of 2018, also known as the Farm Bill:
“At a time when the national unemployment rate is at a fifty year low, historic tax cuts are in place, and there are more job openings than job seekers, it’s inexcusable to not address broken and costly welfare programs in our country. Unfortunately, Congress abandoned this task and expanded the welfare state in the Farm Bill conference report.
