COLUMBIA, S.C. – As the need for immediate life-safety and disaster response resources begins to subside across the state, agencies are beginning the transition to normal, daily operations.

$312 Million in Gas-Tax-Hike Funds Unspent Through August
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
As of Aug. 31, the state of South Carolina was sitting on nearly $312 million in revenues from the gas-tax-hike law that took effect more than 15 months ago – despite promises from lawmakers that the money would go toward fixing crumbling roads.
Newly released records from the S.C. Department of Transportation and state Comptroller General’s Office show that of the approximately $362.3 million collected since July 1, 2017, $15.8 million, or less than 4.5 percent of the total, was spent on listed “external” projects.
Trump Fulfills Phyllis Schlafly’s Vision
- Details
- By John & Andy Schlafly
The thrilling confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court fulfills the vision of Phyllis Schlafly in her early endorsement of Trump. By trouncing the radical feminists in this high-stakes battle for the Supreme Court, President Trump has transformed the Republican Party just as Phyllis wanted.
Kavanaugh’s 50-48 confirmation by the Senate was also a victory for the rule of law over rule by a mob. “You don’t hand matches to an arsonist,” Trump declared afterwards, and “you don’t give power to an angry leftwing mob.”
Modern Errors of the Church

- By Ben Graydon
He’s standing in the self-check-out line at Walmart plugging pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters from his children’s piggy banks into the cash register just to buy a few groceries. He has no job and has not been able to get one, but he doesn’t qualify for government programs and would not, on principle, take that support even if it were available. Where is the church?
Red Rose Rescue Charges Dismissed Within Minutes of Trial Start
- Details
- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON -- Life Legal attorney John Garza was in court this morning on behalf of four "Red Rose Rescue" defendants who were charged with criminal trespass after they entered Capital Women's Services in Washington, DC in July. The rescuers went to the abortion facility to give the women information about abortion and alternatives, along with a red rose.
The Red Rose Rescue case was the first case called by the judge, which is unusual since typically courts elect to dispense with procedural and other less time-consuming matters before calling up trials such as this one. The judge asked the parties whether they were ready for trial and U.S. Attorney Jana Maser, prosecuting the case for the government, replied that she was not ready, as she could not produce any witnesses.
Who Are the Real Partisans?
- Details
- By David Limbaugh
Someone please tell me what bizarro world Democratic activists inhabit -- those who are grumbling that Republicans are unscrupulous partisan warriors imposing their agenda by government coercion and trampling the innocent, passive left in the process.
This is frighteningly delusional and shockingly divorced from reality.
Without question, Democrats and their never-Trump supporters on the right would have us believe that Donald Trump is the very creator of partisan politics, someone who has gobsmacked the unsuspecting collegial political left into abject impotence.
With Friends Like These
- Details
- By Pat Buchanan
Was Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, and then his body cut up with a bone saw and flown to Riyadh in Gulfstream jets owned by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman?
So contend the Turks, who have video from the consulate, photos of 15 Saudi agents who flew into Istanbul that day, Oct. 2, and the identity numbers of the planes.
Supporting the thesis of either a murder in the consulate or a "rendition," a kidnaping gone horribly bad, is a Post story that U.S. intel intercepted Saudi planning, ordered by the prince, to lure Khashoggi from his suburban D.C. home back to Saudi Arabia. And for what beneficent purpose?

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee has always distinguished herself as a pro-life warrior. She chaired the House Select Panel on Infant Lives in 2015 and personally signed the letters to the U.S. Department of Justice referring Planned Parenthood and others for criminal investigation and prosecution based on evidence of the illegal trafficking in aborted baby body parts and intentionally killing babies born alive during late-term abortions.

- By Christian Newswire
LOS ANGELES -- Christian filmmaker Ray Comfort--whose award-winning movies have been seen by millions--decided not to release ten minutes of interview footage after being threatened with a lawsuit by famous magician and atheist Penn Jillette.
The encounter, which took place on a public sidewalk in Washington, DC, in 2016, was filmed when Jillette approached Comfort and asked him about the existence of God. The filmmaker had just finished interviewing the well-known atheist and theoretical physicist Professor Lawrence Krauss for his latest movie when he was approached by Jillette.
Lawmakers Easily Override Governor’s Vetoes on Pet Projects
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
S.C. Senate president pro tempore Hugh Leatherman appeared relaxed and confident before last week’s votes, at one point smiling and giving a thumbs up.
Leatherman, R-Florence, didn’t make any long speeches in asking his Senate colleagues to override Gov. Henry McMaster’ vetoes of parts of a state budget proviso directing a total $7.1 million to Francis Marion University.
And, in two quick votes, Leatherman, who has a science building on Francis Marion’s campus named after him and whose daughter sits on the university’s board of trustees, got what he wanted.
The new Socialist Party
- Details
- By Don Maresca - Bluffton, SC
Historically, there were two parties in America; the Republican Party with many of the warts Washington births and nurtures, and the defunct Democratic Party that has mutated into an uncontrolled, win at any cost organization of extreme Socialist ideologues who've opted from the rule of law and abandoned the Constitution. It's an organization that aids and abets harassment, intimidation and physical assaults against anyone who disagrees with them both in their public and private lives.

What if the President and the Senate Just Pulled a Fast One?
- Details
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
What if the whole purpose of an independent judiciary is to be anti-democratic? What if its job is to disregard politics? What if its duty is to preserve the liberties of the minority -- even a minority of one -- from the tyranny of the majority? What if that tyranny can come from unjust laws or a just law's unjust enforcement?
What if we have a right to insist that judges be neutral and open-minded rather than partisan and predisposed to a particular ideology? What if presidential candidates promise to nominate judges and justices who they believe will embrace certain ideologies?
The Most Important Movie You've Never Heard Of
- Details
- By Michelle Malkin
It's here.
"Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer" debuts in theaters nationwide on Oct. 12. I do believe this groundbreaking film by indie producers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney is the most important movie in America right now -- a true-life saga of good vs. evil, deadly medical malpractice, systemic government malfeasance and cultural apathy toward the most vulnerable members of our society.
I first reported on this real-life horror story nearly eight years ago, but you've probably not heard or read a word about "Gosnell" in the mainstream press, TV news or online. The conspiracy of silence is the result of both malign neglect and active suppression of inconvenient truths:

New Book Fighting Against Feminism to Rebuild Families--One Mom at a Time
- Details
- By Christian Newswire
HOUSTON -- Tia Stabenow challenges Christian families through her new book, "Goodbye Workplace. Hello Family!: Helping Moms Find Their Way Home" to realize the critical impact both parents absent from the home has made on society, the church, and the family unit. Stabenow states, "The next generation is borderline inept and incapable of taking a conservative stance on critical key issues of our day as most children are unprepared and haven't had the vital parental influence that shape and mold future leaders for tomorrow."
Learning from Balaam's Ass
- Details
- By Ben Graydon
In Numbers 22 – 24, the children of Israel, beginning to grow under the blessing of God, were being perceived as a threat to the surrounding nations. So Balak, king of Moab, sent for Balaam (the son of Beor, the soothsayer [Joshua 13:22], so soothsaying, the practice of blessing or cursing another in exchange for payment, may have been presumptively the family trade?) to curse Israel and, thus, eliminate Israel’s threat to Moab. Balak knew that Balaam had a connection with God and, with it, the power to effectively bless or curse anyone. So Balaam told the Moabite princes that he would do whatever God told him to do concerning Israel.
Magnuson Report on Last Wednesday's Special Session
- Details
- By SC Rep. Josiah Magnuson
This past week the legislature held a special session to ensure our state tax laws correctly relate to Federal law in the coming year, as well as to address Governor McMaster's budget vetoes.
I'll give you the bad news first. Most of the vetoes where there was little to no publicity ended in defeat, where the Governor's veto was overridden by a large vote. I voted to sustain the vast majority of the vetoes because as a conservative I realize government should not pick winners and losers and because I don't believe we are even getting our core functions right in SC.

Democracy Leads to Chaos
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
All of the screeching, screaming women in the Senate chambers last Saturday was the result of what Democrats refer to as democracy. Many misinformed and uninformed Republicans mistakenly refer to our form of government as a “democracy.”
The founders created a republican form of government rather than a democracy for many reasons. Theoretically, a democracy requires the full participation of the masses of the people in the legislative or decision-making processes of government. This has never worked. The Greeks tried to use democratic mass participation in the government of their city-states, and each time it ended in tyranny.
SCGOP Leaders React To Kavanaugh Confirmation
- Details
- By SCGOP
SCGOP State Chairman Drew McKissick:
"The nomination and confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh is yet another promise made and promise kept for President Trump. He promised to nominate great constitutional conservatives to the judiciary, and he has delivered! He deserves great credit for not only nominating him, but sticking with him as liberals tried to crucify him. Both South Carolina Senators Graham and Scott deserve our thanks for standing up for him in the Senate in the face of such radical opposition."
Democrats Attempt to Kill Mockingbird
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
May Face Huge Red Tide in November
Harper Lee’s 1964 fictional novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, cites Alabama and Southern folklore that to kill a mockingbird is bad luck, and the consequences can result in misfortune for an entire community. The main plot-line of Harper Lee’s famous fiction work involves an innocent black man, Tom Robinson, being accused by a white woman of attempted rape. Despite convincing evidence of his innocence presented by his small town lawyer, Atticus Finch, a prejudiced small-town jury finds him guilty. Tom Robinson is later shot dead trying to escape from prison.

Casualty Lists From the Kavanaugh Battle
- Details
- By Pat Buchanan
After a 50-year siege, the great strategic fortress of liberalism has fallen. With the elevation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court seems secure for constitutionalism -- perhaps for decades.
The shrieks from the gallery of the Senate chamber as the vote came in on Saturday, and the sight of that bawling mob clawing at the doors of the Supreme Court as the new justice took his oath, confirm it.
The Democratic Party has sustained a historic defeat.
