Greenville Republicans Hold Convention
- By Terry M. Thacker
Nearly 900 Greenville County Republican activists turned out at the Greenville Convention Center this Monday night for their biannual convention.
The doors opened at 6:10 p.m. so that delegates would have time to register for the 7:00 p.m. convention, which didn't actually commence until after 7:30 because of the number of delegates who needed to be checked in.
WORD 98.9 radio host Charlie James served as moderator for the opening of the convention, after which he turned the microphone over to Mark Bonnoitt, political director of the state party. Earlier this year the state party took the unprecedented step of removing control of the reorganization and convention process from the local party leadership.

The Arctic National Security and Economic Front
- By Mike Scruggs
— a USAF Arctic Memory
— Cold War Conflict or High Latitude Prosperity?
I served as both an Air Force intelligence officer and a navigator for eight years spanning from 1961 to 1969. I saw combat flying an A-26/B-26 attack-bomber during 1966 and 1967 as an Air Commando (now called Air Force Special Operations Command). After recovering from combat injuries, I spent my last two years flying the HC-130, a four-engine turbo-prop, in the 41st Air Rescue Squadron, stationed on the San Francisco Bay. Besides rescue operations, our HC-130 aircraft were also equipped and manned for special operations.
In December 1968, I was part of an HC-130 crew deployed TDY (temporary duty) to Elmendorf Air Force Base near Anchorage, Alaska, to support a high-altitude Air Force U-2 reconnaissance aircraft staging out of Fairbanks in the middle of Alaska. The Lockheed U-2 can operate at over 70,000-feet altitude for many hours, carrying a payload as high as 3,000 pounds. The U-2 has a wingspan of 104-feet, far exceeding its fuselage length of 63-feet. Nicknamed, “The Dragon Lady,” the U-2 had only a single seat and one pilot. It is reputed to be one of the hardest aircraft in the USAF inventory to learn to fly.
Would You Be A Martyr For Your Faith Or For Your Principles?
- By W.H. Lamb
Would we, or could we—be willing to martyr ourselves for our beliefs? For our religious or political principles that we hold sacred and/or inviolable? Ah, that is a question to ponder, isn’t it? The definition of “martyr” is: One who willingly endures extreme persecution, suffering, torment or death for a religious or a firm political belief. Obviously, history tells us of untold numbers of men and women who have done just that—who have stood firm for God or Country (orboth)—who wrapped themselves in “the full armor of God”, or in their own definitions of “political principles”, or perhaps in the flag of the country that they lived and died for, and who withstood the worst that the enemies of God and man, or their own personal enemies, could inflict upon them, even unto death! So once again I ask: Would we be willing to do likewise? Could we—you and I-- allow ourselves to be martyred? That’s a question with no easy answer, isn’t it?

Sam Manley Stands in the Way of a California Democrat
- By Press Release
GCRP Chairman Candidate Yvonne Julian Donated to Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, John Edwards and the Democratic National Committee.
Sam Manley who is vying for Chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) has just released a video that explains that his opponent and current 1st Vice Chairman Yvonne Julian has donated to Democrats and not Republicans while in California.
During her campaign for the GCRP Chairman position, Julian has many times referred to how she was disgusted with how her previous residences in California and Chicago were so liberal and how the woke ideologies were destroying those locations.
On several occasions, she told her audiences that she left California because of how the state was going down fast. She added that this was the reason why she left places like Chicago and California and moved to South Carolina.
The Current Greenville County Republican Establishment Says They Have No Interest in Unity
- By James Spurck, Publisher
As The Largest County in SC, Greenville has become the most ineffective Republican Body due to infighting.
Remember walking down a sidewalk and coming across a marching line of ants? Out of curiosity, you follow this intriguing line into the neighboring field of grass and find them cohesively fighting a much bigger enemy whom they eventually overcome. As you watch this natural drama unfold, you are amazed at how naturally unified the ants are. And despite how small these tiny little creatures are, they win more than twice their size due to their unifying numbers. They get things done.
We humans also understand this principle, or at least some of us do.

Top 3 Abortion Pill Myths Perpetuated by the Abortion Industry
- By Mary Szoch - The Washington Stand
When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the chemical abortion drug, mifepristone, without adequately studying the drug’s safety, physicians from across the country filed a petition challenging the decision. For over 6,000 days, the FDA failed to answer. Following Dobbs, the FDA finally responded dismissing the doctors’ safety concerns, and so the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine filed a lawsuit seeking to reverse FDA approval for mifepristone.

Prominent Black Christian Leaders Seek to Build Bridges
ATLANTA -- The AND Campaign, a Christian civic organization, is leading a political movement to build bridges and address polarization in America. This past week, Black Christian leaders from across the country, from multiple denominations and across generational lines stood together during a press conference in Atlanta, GA to endorse the AND Campaign as a legitimate voice in the American discourse. Over 100 prominent leaders also signed the AND Campaign's statement about the unique voice and role of the traditional Black Church in the political and cultural landscape. "The culture war is always a zero sum game. Your win is my loss and my win is your loss; that is not how things necessarily have to be." state Justin Giboney Founder and CEO of the AND Campaign.
Disney Is Going To Lose (Again) To Florida and Ron DeSantis
- By Josh Hammer
The first round of the "Florida and Gov. Ron DeSantis v. The Walt Disney Company" fight, held last spring, ended in a clear DeSantis victory and Disney defeat. Following Disney's vocal opposition to Florida's commonsense Parental Rights in Education Act, misleadingly dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill, Florida passed a law to abolish the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which in 1967 incentivized Disney's initial planting of a flag in Central Florida by giving the corporation unparalleled government-like powers over basic municipal services such as zoning, building codes and waste treatment.
Disney thus paid the price for coming out in favor of indoctrinating impressionable kindergarteners in vogue gender ideology and queer theory by having its gratuitous, extra-legal corporate welfare rescinded, putting it on an equal playing field with every other corporation operating in the state of Florida.

Federal Court Reigns in Chemical Abortion Access
- By Eagle Forum
After Roe v. Wade was overturned, the left scrambled to push abortion access in every way possible. One method they have used to bypass restrictions on surgical abortion has been to increase distribution of the abortion pill. With the expansion of telehealth and prescriptions through the mail, the Biden administration has used this opportunity to deregulate chemical abortions. However, the federal courts appear to be taking a serious examination of these deadly abortifacients.
On the heels of the 2000 presidential election, the Clinton administration approved mifepristone and misoprostol to induce abortions in pregnant women up to seven weeks gestation. In order to expedite approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Clinton administration pressured the French manufacturer of mifepristone to donate all patent rights to the United States Population Council. Then, the FDA recategorized pregnancy as an “illness” while claiming these drugs would provide a “meaningful therapeutic benefit” over all other treatments on the market. For over two decades, Democrat administrations have continued to loosen restrictions while ignoring the dangerous side effects.
Testimony: The Costs and Complexity of the Federal Tax Code Demand Reform
- By William McBride - Tax Foundation
Note: The following is the testimony of Dr. William McBride, Vice President of Federal Tax Policy & Stephen J. Entin Fellow in Economics at the Tax Foundation, prepared for Senate Budget Committee hearing on April 18, 2023, titled, “A Rigged System: The Cost of Tax Dodging by the Wealthy and Big Corporations.”
The Size and Distribution of the Federal Tax Burden
Chairman Whitehouse, Ranking Member Grassley, and distinguished members of the Senate Budget Committee, thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony on the distribution of the federal tax burden. I am William McBride, Vice President of Federal Tax Policy and Stephen J. Entin Fellow in Economics at the Tax Foundation, where I focus on how we can improve our federal tax code.
Today, my testimony will focus on four points. First, I will describe the current federal tax system, showing that tax collections are near an all-time high and the burden is highly progressive. Second, I will describe how the tax code’s increasing complexity adds to this burden, raising compliance costs for taxpayers and administrative costs for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Third, I will describe the economic costs of the tax code’s high marginal income tax rates, which slow economic growth and reduce living standards.
One Stat Rarely Tells the Story
- By Veronique de Rugy
Government debt as a share of the U.S. economy is falling. This must mean the Biden administration and Congress are practicing fiscal responsibility, right? No, it doesn't. The main driver behind the reduction is inflation -- inflation that politicians in Washington created with their irresponsible spending and refusal to engage in austerity after the COVID-19 crisis.
Misleading ideas like this are another reason why we must keep talking about fiscal policy. The missing debt is nothing to celebrate when it's due to inflation, something especially harmful for poorer Americans who see their living standards erode.
All of this might sound complicated, but the solution is not.
Two Street Riots, One Weekend: The Violent Legacy of Anti-Parent Policies
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
Hundreds of people blocking streets, looting stores, and destroying property should not be normal occurrences. They are not normal in a peaceful, prosperous society. Alas, they are increasingly normal in America’s large cities. Unusually violent street incidents in Chicago and Los Angeles over the weekend illustrate the nation’s civilizational decline and point to at least one of the (many) causes.
Videos captured early Sunday morning show that a mob approximately 100 strong smashed through a glass door at an Arco gas station in Compton, California and ransacked the place while the overnight clerk hid in the bathroom. The “mob of looters … left a trail of destruction” at multiple stores, according to one local news report, while another said sheriff’s deputies received reports of gunshots in the area. Police arrived too late to stop the mayhem — not to mention being wildly outnumbered — but are reviewing video for possible charges.
Christian Love and Church Over State
- By Winston McCuen
Augustine of Hippo (354-420 AD) became the world's greatest political philosopher when he identified love as the core principle of all historical and theoretical forms of social, economic and governmental organization.
No shallow sentimentalist spouting brainless liberal Lennon lyrics, the great Christian saint insightfully distinguished between good and bad loves, and between good and bad loving. Unlike many, Augustine understood the central importance of loving the right things, and in the right ways. He saw how good loving is about doing real (and not imagined or pretended) good to others (and to self); and he shrewdly pointed out how the true doer of good must first know the real good of others (and of self). The world's greatest theologian, Augustine clearly demonstrated how right loving is impossible apart from spiritual regeneration, when Christ as Savior implants the love of Truth (Himself) in the new believer.
Executive Branch Lawlessness Must be Stopped
- By Eagle Forum
Eagle Forum Statement on the Senate’s Failure to Advance CRA to Reject the Veterans Affairs Department Abortion Services Rule
Eagle Forum President Kristen A. Ullman released the following statement on the Senate’s failure to pass S. J. Res 10 to protect life and halt the Veteran’s Affairs Department's rewriting of federal law:
This evening, the United States Senate failed in its duty to support and defend the Constitution by voting to allow the Executive Branch of the government to usurp the role of the Legislative Branch. How pathetic that 51 men and women who were elected to the Senate would so callously and carelessly give up their right to be legislators by allowing the Department of Veterans Affairs to rewrite a law that Congress duly passed.
Sounding the Alarm Over the WHO’s Attack on American Taxpayers and Sovereignty...
- By Peter Navarro
Peter Navarro's Taking Back Trump's America Podcast
Hi. I’m Peter Navarro, its February 22, 2023, and in this edition of the Taking Back Trump’s America podcast, I want to sound the alarm over an upcoming meeting at the World Health Organization that may drag the United States deeper into the morass of this corrupt world body, further burden the US taxpayers, and further cede American sovereignty to a puppet international organization controlled by Communist China.
By way of history, at the beginning of the assault on America by the Chinese Communist Party virus a.k.a. Covid 19, in the early part of 2020, the World Health Organization failed miserably in its most important mission – protect the world from the ravages of the pandemic. Consider this timeline:
Evolutionary Arrogance
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
if you have ever been involved in an online discussion between creationists and evolutionists you will have undoubtedly seen the sense of superiority commonly seen among evolutionists. They seem to think that simply disagreeing with them means that you are either uneducated, an idiot, or both. They frequently seem to think that being intelligent and educated means that you would inevitably accept evolution. This arrogance is not only found among evolutionists in general but atheists in particular along with both political and social leftists. This intellectual arrogance Is the same because it extends from the same source.

Gaines Goes Toe-to-Toe with Dems on Biden’s Push to Erase Girls
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
“Why is it always women fighting against sex-based protections?” Riley Gaines wondered. “That will forever be beyond me.” The former All-American swimmer could only shake her head at the latest attack on girls’ sports by Congresswoman Katie Porter (D-Calif.), the latest high-profile Democrat to throw her sex overboard in the raging battle for transgenderism.
David Hume and the Anti-Christian Heresies
- By Winston McCuen
The times are evil, and trials are many, and Christians should guard against sins against the world's one and only true (Christian) faith, including incredulity, apostasy and heresy.
Incredulity is the neglect of revealed truth or the willful refusal to assent to it. Apostasy is total repudiation of the Christian faith. Heresy is the holding of a belief contrary to orthodox Christian doctrine while claiming it as orthodox and while boasting the name of Christian. It includes obstinate post-baptismal denial or doubt of some truth(s) which must be believed with whole or catholic faith, and refusal to accept correction.
Among the sins against the faith, heresy is the most subtle and persistent and dangerous because fallen human nature craves, above all, validation as good whilst in wicked rebellion against God.
