Chief Justice Roberts Pushes Back Hard Against Trump
- By GOP Presidential
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts offered a rebuke on Wednesday to President Trump’s description of a judge who ruled against Trump’s new migrant asylum policy as an “Obama judge.”
“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Roberts said in a Wednesday statement provided to Fox News. “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.”

Thanksgiving Thanks
- By Phyllis Schlafly
November 1976
The United States has just celebrated its 200th birthday, but our observance of Thanksgiving Day is 353 years old. It offers a good opportunity for each of us to count our blessings of living in the freest and most prosperous nation the world has ever known.
I’m thankful to the Pilgrim Fathers — the same ones who gave us the first Thanksgiving at Plymouth Colony — that they had the good judgment to abandon their naive and nonsensical ideas of communal living under which the workers and the loafers shared equally in a common fund. When they saw the error of their early socialist experiment, they changed to a system of private property and individual ownership, allowing each man to keep his own earnings — a wise move which started America on the road to abundant harvests and economic prosperity.
Statement from Gov. Henry McMaster on Charleston Harbor Deepening Project
- By SC Governor's Office
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Governor Henry McMaster today released the following statement in response to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dedicating $41.4 million for the Charleston Harbor Deepening Project:
“South Carolina’s growing economy is driven by one of the most productive ports systems in the country, and today’s news shows that President Trump’s administration, and all of Team South Carolina, is committed to seeing it continue to strengthen. This $41 million is an investment in our entire state’s future. When companies see that we are committed to our infrastructure, they have reason to be more confident in their investment in our communities, which means more jobs for our people. The Charleston Harbor becoming the deepest on the east coast will one day be seen as one of the most impactful moments in South Carolina’s prosperous economic future.”
Make Tijuana Great Again, and the White House Too
- By John & Andy Schlafly
The two-thousand-mile trek of migrants from Honduras arrived to an angry reception in Tijuana, just south of the California border. It was not President Donald Trump who shouted down the illegal aliens camped there, but Tijuana’s own mayor, along with many of his Mexican constituents.
“Make Tijuana Great Again” sported the Tijuana mayor, Juan Manuel Gastélum, on his bright red hat nearly identical to the one worn by President Trump. Hundreds of Tijuana residents turned out in agreement, chanting “Tijuana First” and similar slogans.
EPA Releases New Tools To Test And Treat Additional PFAS, Including GenX, In Drinking Water
- By EPA
WASHINGTON (November 21, 2018) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing an updated and validated way to test for an additional four per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water, including the GenX chemical, hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA). PFAS are man-made chemicals used in a wide range of products because of their ability to repel water, grease, and oil. They are found in everyday items such as food packaging and non-stick, stain repellent, and waterproof products including clothing and other products used by outdoor enthusiasts. Today’s updated tools are part of EPA’s efforts to increase the amount of research and information that is publicly available for chemicals in the PFAS family.
The New Left: Rebels Without A Cause?
- By Joseph M Bianchi - Greenville, SC
It has been fifty years since the tumultuous “Summer of ’68” and the now immortal chant by protesters at the Democratic National Convention of, “The whole world is watching!”
Fifty years; a half century. The wave of protests against the Vietnam War had come to a great crescendo. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were cut down by assassins’ bullets. American society was in turmoil both on the streets and the college campuses—and Woodstock was still a year away!
First Step: Pro-Cop, Pro-Borders, Pro-Criminal Justice Reform
- By Michelle Malkin
The package of criminal justice reform proposals endorsed by President Donald Trump is not "soft" on crime. It's tough on injustice. And it's about time.
Known as the "First Step Act," the legislation confronts the Titanic failure of the federal government's trillion-dollar war on drugs by reforming mandatory minimum sentences, rectifying unscientifically grounded disparities in criminal penalties for crack vs. powder cocaine users, and tackling recidivism among federal inmates through risk assessment, earned-time credit incentive structures, re-entry programs and transitional housing.
How California’s Governor Turned Latest Fire Into Unprecedented Disaster
- By GOP Presidential
Months ago, California Gov. Jerry Brown urged state lawmakers to loosen restrictive logging regulations put in place to appease environmentalists — a move that appears to have confirmed that President Trump’s recent critiques of state logging practices was correct.
The Santa Cruz Sentinel reported back in August that Brown was proposing one of the most significant changes to the state’s logging rules in nearly half a century.
Happy Holidays? How do we get There?
- By Alveda King
As the holidays are upon us, let us be mindful that these next few weeks are beautiful opportunities to express love, grace, encouragement and peace towards others. There are some people, and in some cases someone we know, or even we ourselves are in dire need of a prayer or two this holiday season. Some have lost loved ones and some have lost much to tragedies. Yet there are reasons and opportunities to spread love to others right now. A notion such as this may seem difficult, especially with the brutal mid-terms behind us, and some political runoff elections ahead of us; but let's just try to be civil to one another.
A Modest Dissent
- By Hugh McInnish - Huntsville, AL
At Trump's recent press conference held at the White House, there was a dust-up between Jim Acosta, a correspondent for CNN, and a young White House female intern. The intern came to Acosta and asked him to give her the microphone so that she could pass it to the next person Trump called on. He refused, and there was a mild tussle for the microphone. The tussle ended when Trump insisted that the correspondent surrender the microphone. Trump made a forceful expression of his displeasure with Acosta's behavior, and he promptly revoked his "hard pass," the document that permits his entry to the White House.

For What Should We Be Thankful?
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
What if the government's true goal is to perpetuate itself? What if the real levers of governmental power are pulled by agents and diplomats and by bureaucrats and central bankers behind the scenes? What if they stay in power no matter who is elected president or which political party controls either house of Congress?
What if the frequent public displays of adversity between the Republicans and the Democrats are just a facade and a charade? What if both major political parties agree on the transcendental issues of our day?

Conservative Icon’s Future in Doubt
- By GOP Presidential
House Freedom Caucus co-founder Jim Jordan hasn’t made up his mind whether to push to become the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, and his chances for winning that spot may be quickly slipping away.
President Trump has been pushing Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., the likely House minority leader next year, to get Jordan on the committee. Trump is reportedly keen on getting Jordan to that committee, as he’s a staunch ally of Trump’s who would fight Democrats on the committee — Trump often calls Jordan a “warrior” during appearances on Fox News.

Will Democratic Rebels Dethrone Nancy?
- By Pat Buchanan
After adding at least 37 seats and taking control of the House by running on change, congressional Democrats appear to be about to elect as their future leaders three of the oldest faces in the party.
Nancy Pelosi of California and Steny Hoyer of Maryland have led the House Democrats for 16 years. For 12 years, they have been joined in the leadership triumvirate by Jim Clyburn of South Carolina.
If these three emerge as speaker, majority leader and majority whip, all three Democratic leaders will be older than our oldest president, Ronald Reagan, was when he went home after two terms.
Baker's Case Gives Rise to Life Changes
- By Tony Perkins
When baker Jack Phillips won his Supreme Court case this year, it was hugely important to religious liberty -- and, it turns out, a whole lot more.
Standing by his convictions wasn't always easy for Jack. He lost a big chunk of business and years of his life to the lawsuit brought by a same-sex couple. "And then there was the hate mail, nasty phone calls, and death threats pouring in," Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) points out. While the real-life drama played out in courtrooms across Colorado and D.C., the entire country watched -- including Jack's nephew, Sean.

Chronic heartburn may indicate a more serious disorder
Spartanburg, SC--We’ve all been guilty of overindulging at one time or another – particularly during the holiday season – and have suffered the discomfort that often follows. Sometimes the pain after eating too much is more severe than the typical gas, bloating, or indigestion or it happens more frequently and is hard to control with the usual over-the-counter remedies. And sometimes heartburn just happens and has nothing to do with what we’ve eaten.
Will the Real Attorney General Please Stand Up?
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
Last week's surprise forced resignation of Jeff Sessions as attorney general of the United States set in motion a series of events that will soon resonate in all corners of the Department of Justice.
President Donald Trump has been steamed at Sessions ever since Sessions removed himself from supervision over the DOJ's investigation into whether a conspiracy existed between Russian agents and the Trump campaign in 2016 for the Russians to provide assistance to the campaign -- a felony.
