FEMA and Partners Warn of Potentially Catastrophic Impacts from Tropical Systems
- By FEMA News Desk
WASHINGTON – Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center predict a life-threatening storm surge and flash flooding could occur along portions of North and South Carolina with Hurricane Florence’s landfall.
Several mandatory and voluntary evacuation orders were ordered Monday and Tuesday along the east coast.
“If you are told to evacuate and do not do so, you need to realize you are putting your life in danger,” said FEMA Administrator Brock Long. “This storm is not to be taken lightly. The entire states of North and South Carolina could be heavily impacted by this storm. People do not live to tell the tale of surviving storm surge. It’s the most deadly part of the hurricane that comes in and it causes the most destruction.”

Many S.C. Counties Left Out of Gas-tax-hike Spending by State
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
In the first year of a controversial law hiking the state’s gasoline tax and other fees, the S.C. Department of Transportation spent no proceeds in 20 of South Carolina’s 46 counties, newly released records show.

The most-recent online records show that 20 counties, including larger counties such as Beaufort, Lexington and Spartanburg, had no expenditures over the one-year period.
Culture Wars
- By Ben Graydon
It’s about culture.
Guys, wear your hair “too” long, and you’re a rebel. That goes back to the 60s and 70s. How long is “too long” depends: it’s relative. And if someone says, “Well, Jesus had long hair!” that guy just doesn’t get it. (See, if He did, it was OK back then; it wasn’t culturally relevant. [But, no, actually, others would say, Jesus’ hair was always short enough to pass hair check - a very modern military look - while everyone else’s around him was longer, at least over the ear.] My point. Culture.)
Nowadays it’s OK for women to wear pants, but not so long ago it was – My goodness! Talk about rebellion! Cultural.
Donald Trump and the Rule of Law
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
Last week, The New York Times published a scathing critique of Donald Trump -- the man and the president. The Times said the critique was written by a senior Trump administration official who insisted on remaining unnamed. This bitter and harsh editorial, which portrays the president as dangerous to the health of the republic and his White House as slouching toward dysfunctionality, has understandably infuriated him.
Trump first accused the Times and its unnamed writer of treason, and then he publicly asked for a Department of Justice investigation to find the writer. Then, to change the subject, he threatened to declassify documents submitted to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in 2016 -- before he was president -- that he believes were used to commence the Robert Mueller-led investigation of his presidential campaign.

The Post-9/11 Cycle of Cynicism
- By Michelle Malkin
Remember. Forget. Repeat.
For 17 years, America has engaged in a collective ritual every Sept. 11: Hang flags, light candles, bow heads and make vows to "Never forget."
Then, every Sept. 12, it's back to business as usual: See something, do nothing.
Did you remember that five of the 9/11 hijackers -- Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, Hani Hanjour, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Satam al-Suqami -- carried out their killer plot after overstaying their visas, evading detection and avoiding deportation?

- By Christian Newswire
MADISON, Wis. -- Before a Louisiana high school football game, two Benton High School students were told they had to remove Christian logos from the end zones. The two students left the field and did not help those who removed the logos.
The "Christ Fit Gym" logos included a cross and Bible verse. A business, Christ Fit Gym, paid the football booster club $3,500 for the 2018-19 season to display the logos.
In February, Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed a federal lawsuit against the school district. They complained the district promoted Christianity and was trying to convert students.

Contact Your Representatives to Tell Them Not to Allow Planned Parenthood Funding in Appropriations Bill
- By Eagle Forum
The House and Senate announced that they will meet together this week to discuss funding of the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Labor, Health and Human Services (Labor-HHS) appropriations packages. The House never passed a Labor-HHS bill, so they are planning to accept the Senate’s version, even though it has funding for Planned Parenthood. In addition, they plan to keep it attached to the DOD appropriations bill which will force Republicans to take a vote that funds the military in exchange for continuing the evil practices of abortion clinics.
9/11 Attacks Sprang From Words of Muhammad, the Founder of Islam -- See His Words, and the Commands That Muslim Terrorists Obey
- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 2018 /Christian Newswire/ -- In the wake of over 3,000 innocent people being murdered on 9/11/2001, media, politicians, and every day Americans asked the question: "Why did they do this?"

Political Correctness, just one tool in the arsenal of Sustainability
- By Kathleen Marquardt, American Policy Council
“At its worst, political correctness is nothing different from Orwell's Newspeak - an attempt to change the way people think by forcibly changing the way they speak.” Urban Dictionary
"Every child in America entering school at the age of five is mentally ill because he comes to school with certain allegiances to our founding fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It's up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well by creating the international child of the future.” Chester M. Pierce, Harvard psychiatrist, speaking as an expert in public education at the 1973 International Education Seminar.

UK Tops Sweden as Sexual Assault Capital of Europe
- By Mike Scruggs
The UK is the Most Dangerous Country for Women in EU
It is difficult to compare crime statistics from country to country, but it at least gives us a 40,000-foot altitude overview of the dangers of foolish immigration policies. Just plot the highest concentrations of recent Muslim migrants in Europe and with just a few exceptions you have the countries where women are most exposed to sexual assault and rape. According to a September 6th Daniel Greenfield article in Front Page Magazine and European Union sex crime statistics collected by Emma Beswick and published in World News on November 24, 2017—Which EU Countries have the Highest Rate of Sex Crimes—the UK has edged out Sweden in sexual assaults.
