Councilman Benton Blount Says Most Embarrassing Moment On Council
- By Greenville County Councilman Benton Blount
What kind of message does it send to the future leaders of Greenville County to see adults acting like many of the bullies they encounter on their school playgrounds?
First and foremost, it is an honor to serve the people of Greenville County. I undertake the stress of the job, the severity of the issues, and offer the following opinions based solely on my desire to see Greenville County continue to grow properly and follow the framework of the institution designed to ensure its success.
The County Council Meeting on 9-19-23 was the most embarrassing moment I've had as a Councilman so far. We have not only our constituents watching us act like children, but we potentially have children watching us act like children. What kind of message does it send to the future leaders of Greenville County to see adults acting like many of the bullies they encounter on their school playgrounds? This is not about any particular event that took place. There were many failures on each side of any given situation that could have been handled much more reasonably. We are better than that. And if we are not better than that, we need a massive change in both leadership and members until the problem is solved. Talking over each other, shouting, getting in each other's faces, preventing Councilmen/women from speaking, preventing the public from speaking, not respecting the gavel, continuing to approach fellow Councilmen/women as if they have "picked a team”, calling fellow Councilmen/women "racist bastards," and having to be separated and escorted to vehicles by law enforcement, do nothing but ensure that we will never get on the same page enough to accomplish actual work for Greenville County. Fortunately, the citizens are excellent bosses, so I am hopeful they are already discussing the best courses of correction. I say "we" because I have to take ownership of the Council's failure, even if I am not directly involved in the incidents. That's how real leadership achieves true stability.

‘Disturbing’ and ‘Inarticulate’: Pro-Life Leaders React to Trump’s Abortion Comments
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
Pro-life advocates have called Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump’s comments “disturbing” after the 45th president said he will “bring peace” on abortion by negotiating a plan that pleases “both” abortion foes and activists — and attacked some of his rivals’ more comprehensive protections for life.
“I would sit down with both sides, and I’d negotiate something, and we’ll end up with peace on that issue for the first time in 52 years,” President Trump told Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press” Sunday. When asked directly whether he will sign national legislation protecting unborn children from abortion beginning at 15 weeks, he replied, “I’m not going to say I would or I wouldn’t.”

RICHMOND, Va. -- Presidential candidate, E.W. Jackson has sent a letter threatening Ronna McDaniel and the Republican National Committee ("RNC") with a lawsuit to force them to recognize his candidacy. The RNC's list of "Declared Republican Candidates" has excluded Jackson. State and local Republican officials, taking their cue from the RNC, are also victims of what Jackson calls "fraud" and "election interference." The candidate credits Christian media for covering him but says both liberal and conservative secular media have tried to suppress his campaign.

The Depopulation Death Cult
- By Paul Dragu - The New American
Is depopulation a deliberate agenda that’s being implemented by a “cult of death” even as we speak?
In today’s episode, we discuss the U.S. government’s “Kissinger Report” on depopulation; the steep decline in fertility rates; the roles of Covid-19, Covid “vaccines,” and trans and homosexual lifestyles in depopulation; and why the world could use more, not fewer, people. The New American’s publisher, Dennis Behreandt, and executive senior editor, Steve Bonta, make a strong case for human innovation over population reduction.

Lawmakers Take Action Against Biden’s Climate Change Agenda
- By Eagle Forum
Congress Hits the Brakes on Car Bans
The Biden administration is once again stifling the choices of the American people. In the name of “climate change,” the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has given waivers to the State of California allowing them to go beyond federal regulations to ban certain types of vehicles. Even though this has occurred for decades, the California Resource Board was granted its biggest request to date: a ban on all sales of non-electric vehicles in the near future.
