Senate Republicans are gearing up for negotiations with Democrats to fulfill President Trump’s request for a southern border wall, but have yet to decide exactly how much money they’ll push for in a year-end spending deal that will dominate the post-election “lame duck” session.
The Changing Face of Homelessness
- By Miracle Hill
The face of homelessness is changing. Once upon a time if a person were asked to describe the homeless they would talk about a middle-aged man on a street corner with a bottle of whisky in a brown paper sack. Although this stereotype is true for some, the population has shifted with the decades, and a few specific characteristics can be surprising about today’s homeless population.
Trump Realigns the Political Map
- By John & Andy Schlafly
After the Republican Party had been declining in strength in the executive and judicial branches, and in the U.S. Senate, Trump’s realignment has brought new life to all three. The Election Day results dismayed those who predicted a massive blue wave, and instead ushered in more evidence that Trump is the real future of the GOP.
Trump’s rallies in Missouri, Indiana, and North Dakota delivered resounding victories to Republican Senate candidates, in defiance of most polls. Trump also carried congressional candidates to victory in battleground regions of Southern Illinois and Minnesota.
More than $338 Million in Gas-Tax-Hike Funds Unspent as of End of September
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
In the first 15 months of the gas-tax-hike law, the S.C. Department of Transportation spent less than 7 percent of the nearly $400 million in collected revenues that lawmakers promised would go toward fixing deteriorating roads and bridges statewide, according to recently released records.
As of Sept. 30, about $25.7 million, or 6.4 percent, of the $398.9 million in receipts since the law took effect on July 1, 2017, had been spent on “project commitments,” DOT records show. The law hiked the gas tax by 12 cents, or 75 percent from the base 16 cents, over six years, and increased other taxes and fees, including raising the vehicle sales-tax cap by $200.
The Real Loser in the Midterms: Individuality
- By Marilyn M. Singleton
After the election, sappy statements on social media exhort us to bow down in praise that the first minority this or the first woman that was elected and how this means we have catapulted our nation out of the Neanderthal era. Funny how no one mentions Young Kim’s victory – but she is not a Democrat so it does not count. It’s funny how no one cheered women of color when Condoleeza Rice was secretary of state. Instead she was called an Aunt Jemima and a house nigga’ in a nationally syndicated cartoon.

Trail Life USA sees continuing growth as parents seek positive alternative to PC, 'one-size-fits-all' programs that ignore unique needs of boys
BELTON, S.C. -- A legal fight between America's two long-time scouting organizations has prompted a surge of interest in a boys-only, Christian-based outdoor adventure program.
Visits to Trail Life USA's (www.traillifeusa.com) website and inquiries about starting new troops with the organization surged in the wake of the Girl Scouts of the USA's recent trademark infringement lawsuit against the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), contesting the use of the words "scouts" or "scouting."

Marking Seven Decades of Ministry, Leading Gospel Broadcaster Declares That 'Radio Still Rocks'
- By Christian Newswire
LA MIRADA, Calif. -- As it marks 70 years of proclaiming the gospel to some of the farthest corners of the world, FEBC (Far East Broadcasting Company, www.febc.org), the pioneering Christian broadcaster, is in a Mark Twain moment.
Just as the celebrated humorist once noted that a report of his death had been "greatly exaggerated," so the ministry-whose vision statement is "Until All Have Heard"-affirms that its long-time radio focus is not only alive and well, but thriving, even as many claim the traditional medium's impact is in decline.

The Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The Armistias was signed and World War I ended on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month one hundred years ago Sunday. It was said to be the war to end all wars. It certainly did not accomplish that goal.
A group of citizens are raising funds to build a World War I memorial. They are saying no memorial was ever built to honor those who fought, and thousands died in that war. That is not true. I visited the World War I Memorial several years ago and photographed the deplorable condition it had been allowed to become due to neglect and lack of care and maintenance.
Don’t Give Me That Old Time Religion
- By Ben Graydon
Many love the song: Give me that Old Time Religion: it was good for our fathers, and it’s good enough for me!
May I suggest that “good enough” is not really good enough? And, further, when the song says, “It will take us all to heaven,” that’s a flat-out lie. No religion will ever take anyone to heaven; only one’s redemption through the shed blood of Jesus Christ will do that.
Macron to Trump: 'You're No Patriot!'
- By Pat Buchanan
In a rebuke bordering on national insult Sunday, Emmanuel Macron retorted to Donald Trump's calling himself a nationalist.
"Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism; nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism."
As for Trump's policy of "America first," Macron trashed such atavistic thinking in this new age: "By saying we put ourselves first and the others don't matter, we erase what a nation holds dearest, what gives it life, what makes it great and what is essential: its moral values."
Midterm Election Considered Reflections
- By Greg Shorey
Doubting that many really care, or are just “feed-up” with recent “politicking”, never-the-less I‘m noting my reflections, because I sense many curious, conflicting contradictions : believing the Nov. 6 results conveyed a serious concern for what lies ahead -- especially for committed Constitutional Conservatives – like me. They’ll continue to be all manner of statistical evaluations, but my 70 + years of ‘involvement’ triggers commentary.
