Some State Agency Heads Start New Fiscal Year With Big Pay Raises
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
A legislatively controlled committee has given five-figure pay hikes to a group of state agency heads, and a new law empowers the panel to recommend raises next fiscal year for certain statewide elected officials.
The Agency Head Salary Commission (AHSC) on Thursday– the start of the new fiscal year – approved the following annual salaries for agency heads, with the amount and percentage of the raises in parentheses, according to commission and Department of Administration records:
- Christy Hall, Department of Transportation secretary: $298,000 ($46,768, 18.6%)
- Marcia Adams, Department of Administration executive director: $284,679 ($60,637, 27%)
- Nanette Edwards, Office of Regulatory Staff executive director: $265,000 ($86,381, 48.3%)
- Bryan Stirling, Department of Corrections director: $250,000 ($50,143, 25%)
- Grant Gillespie, State Fiscal Accountability Authority executive director: $245,000 ($44,438, 22.1%)
In addition, the commission set newly confirmed Commerce secretary Harry Lightsey’s annual salary at $252,000. His predecessor, Bobby Hitt, who retired, was making $199,857 as of April 9, according to an online database of state workers earning at least $50,000 yearly.

A Fight for the History Books
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
"We oppose attempts to ban critical race theory and/or The 1619 Project," the National Education Association (NEA) said in a resolution late last week. At its 2021 annual meeting, America's largest teachers' union -- and largest union of any kind -- passed a slew of pro-CRT resolutions. They also approved "an already-created, in-depth study that critiques white supremacy, anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, racism, patriarchy ... capitalism ... and other forms of power and oppression." The resolutions amounted to a declaration of war on parent organizations that have sprouted up as sentinels against encroaching wokeness. The victor will determine the path of education for America's children and -- by extension -- our country's future. Finally, the battle lines are drawn clearly.

Supreme Court Issues Landmark Rulings for 2021 Spring Session
- By Eagle Forum
As people submitted their votes for Donald Trump in November 2016, many were still skeptical of his policies but were hopeful for at least one good Supreme Court Justice during his term. Not only did he exceed everyone’s expectations as President, but he and the Senate were also able to confirm a whopping three Justices to the highest court in the land. We saw the fruits of that labor over the last couple of months. While SCOTUS dealt a couple of losses to the conservative cause, they handed over quite a few wins as well. Here are some of those notable cases:

'The Chosen' sets July 11 Drop Date for Highly Anticipated Season 2 Finale
- By 130 Agency
DALLAS -- The global phenomenon The Chosen – the first multi-season show about Jesus and the #1 crowdfunded media project in history – is releasing its highly-anticipated Season 2 finale this Sunday, July 11 with a global livestream simulcast on Facebook, Youtube, and The Chosen app.
"This season, Jesus' growing fame has brought resistance from the Romans and religious leaders, and the disciples are struggling with how to deal with it. This sets the stage for Jesus to put together the most famous sermon in history," said Dallas Jenkins, series creator, co-writer and director. "Despite the growing danger, he's determined to deliver one of the most important sermons of his life."
"We are encouraged by the number of Season 1 supporters who also helped us produce Season 2," said Executive Producer Derral Eves.
The eighth installment will be available free through The Chosen app, which is also available for download at the Apple or Android app stores. Distributed by Angel Studios, Season One of The Chosen is currently streaming on a variety of platforms including Peacock, iTunes, Amazon, and VidAngel and is available in Walmart stores nationwide.

Squad Dems: A Fourth to Be Reckoned With
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Squad member Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) used the anniversary of America's Independence to parrot the 1619 Project's about continued racial oppression and fundamental injustice. She tweeted, "When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they're referring to is for white people. This land is stolen land and Black people still aren't free." This is a textbook example of the 1619 Project's false narrative of American history. America elected a black president in 2008, vice president in 2020, and many members of Congress, including Cori Bush herself. "Black Lives Matter," an organization with nothing but its name to recommend it, raised $90 million in one year. Not to mention America's many popular and successful black athletes, musicians, entertainers, scholars, and entrepreneurs.
