Summaries of Judicial Ethics Complaints Released, but Secrecy Remains
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Last fiscal year, of the 636 pending and new ethics complaints filed against S.C. judges, 490, or 77%, were dismissed, according to an annual Judicial Department report, though no detailed explanations for the dismissals or other specifics of those cases were given.
After The Nerve for years repeatedly reported on the state court’s secretive disciplinary system, the S.C. Supreme Court – led by Chief Justice John Kittredge, who became the administrative head of the state court system in 2024 – issued a written order last June to begin publishing summaries of dismissed judicial complaints.
Since that order, a total of 246 summaries of dismissed ethics complaints from July through December last year have been published on the Judicial Department’s website, a review by The Nerve found. The state’s fiscal year begins on July 1 and runs through the following June 30.
Political and Economic Impact of Attack on Iran
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
March 1, 2026, Comments
On Saturday morning, February 28, Israel and the United States launched a massive bombing and missile attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran. This occurred while negotiations between the United States and Iran were still ongoing, and Iran had just agreed to a major concession that it would not enrich or stockpile uranium. Iran had already stated that it would never develop nuclear weapons. In fact, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei issued a religious Fatwa prohibiting nuclear weapons in October 2003. Iran, however, refused U.S. negotiators demand to eliminate its missile arsenal, its principal defense against Israeli and American attack. There were no offers to reduce financial or economic sanctions on Iran in exchange. This American and Israeli demand was one no country that valued its sovereignty, national security, and independence would agree to short of utter military defeat. It is obvious that the real issue to the United States and Israel was Regime Change. Supreme Iranian Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had to go and his government replaced by one friendly to and subject to the influence of the United States.
The Nation of “Honoria” Desperately Needs Our Help!

- By W.H. Lamb
NOTE: A version of this thought-provoking story has been published a couple of times previously here in The Times Examiner in recent years. Its warning is more urgent now than previously, and I hope our new (and old) readers will think about its warnings carefully and share it with other patriots while we still can do so!
LIVING AMONG THE FASCINATING “RUINS”
Alongside the road to Beaufort, S.C., near Yemassee, stand the still imposing ruins of Old Sheldon Church. Originally built between 1745 and 1753, it was used by American patriots during our Revolutionary War to store arms, causing it to be burned down by the British in 1779, and rebuilt in 1826. Tradition has claimed that it was again burned and gutted by the marauding devils from General Sherman’s army of pillagers and despoilers during The War For Southern Independence. However, recently discovered evidence in a letter from Milton Leverett, an on-site visitor in early 1866, claims that Old Sheldon was NOT burned again in 1865 by Yankees but was gutted by the locals after that tragic and senseless war ended, its scarce materials used all over Beaufort, S.C., and its remains were then abandoned. Be that as it may, the ruins presently stand in grand and haunting majesty, reminders of a time that once was, but is no more—reminiscent, I fear, of the possible future of our increasingly ravaged Constitutional Republic.
Do You Think Property Rights Exist Now in America? Well, Think Again
- Details
- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center
There is no way I can possibly count all the ways our property is being stolen from us by our so-called government “of the people, by the people, for the people”. But we are losing our property rights at breakneck speed and soon we will be property if we don’t put a stop to this iniquitous thievery.
Washington State Supreme Court Justice Richard B. Sanders sagely and succinctly wrote: “Property in a thing consists not merely in its ownership and possession, but in the unrestricted right of use, enjoyment, and disposal. Anything which destroys any of the elements of property, to that extent, destroys the property itself. The substantial value of property lies in its use. If the right of use be denied, the value of the property is annihilated and ownership is rendered a barren right.” That should go without saying.

The SC Senate Just Told Everyone Under 65 to ‘Pay Up and Shut Up'

How 32 lawmakers killed fair tax relief and protected sweetheart deals instead
Over the past several weeks, the South Carolina Senate has heavily debated S.768, a bill that would give a property tax break to those 65 and older who have lived in South Carolina for ten years or more.
S.768, also known as the Homestead Act, was introduced and pioneered by Senate Finance Committee chairman Harvey Peeler. Peeler himself is nearly 80 years old and has held the same senate seat for 45 years.
On February 18th, Senator Lee Bright offered amendment 6 to the Homestead Act which would allow all taxpayers to receive the same property tax break, not only senior citizens.
Situation Report on Iran

The below is a public situational report authored by Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn (USA, Ret) and former National Security Advisor to President Trump. It has been my privilege to know Gen. Flynn for a number of years now, and he even gave me permission to call him, “Mike.” Wow! I still struggle with that going back and forth between Mike and General. :-) I can share that even in the midst of Mike’s walks with his wife, Lori, and our phone calls either during the walk or shortly thereafter, Gen. Flynn NEVER badmouthed America or lost hope that God would show a clear path for him to walk out of the deep, dark, lonely valley he was traveling when he was inappropriately removed as National Security Advisor, and the copious amount of ridicule and character assassination he underwent.
Chairman’s Corner: Greenville Pickens Speedway

- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
Over the past several weeks, I’ve received a significant number of calls, messages, and emails about the future of Greenville Pickens Speedway. I understand why. The speedway is more than just a piece of property. It represents history, Saturday nights under the lights, generations of families in the stands, and a real piece of Upstate culture. I’ve enjoyed races there myself, and I’ve even performed there. I respect what that place means to people, and I completely understand why so many want to see it preserved.

Trail Life USA Applauds Secretary Hegseth’s Recognition of Its Premiere Boy-Focused Program

GREENVILLE, S.C. — Following comments by Secretary Pete Hegseth indicating the Department of War will closely review youth organizations for compliance with the administration’s executive order, Trail Life USA reaffirmed that it has never wavered in its mission to form courageous, principled young men grounded in timeless values.
The Secretary’s comments came in a video noting that Scouting America (originally the Boy Scouts of America) had agreed to drop “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” (DEI) elements from its program, including a new DEI-centric merit badge required for Eagle, in response to an executive order issued by President Donald J. Trump. The department will monitor their progress and evaluate it during the next six months, Hegseth said.
Top 10 Reasons Why Creation Science Is Indeed Science
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionists frequently claim that creation science is not really science. In fact, this is the entire basis on which atheists have convinced judges to throw all creation science out of public schools. This is literally a case of doing science by judicial decree and not giving the position a chance to make its own case.
Creationists respond by pointing out that we do indeed do science. Part of the problem is that evolutionists are wrongfully comparing the philosophical position of creationism, which is in opposition to philosophical naturalism, with creation science, which is an opposition to the entire Big Bang to man evolutionary story. In other words, evolutionists keep confusing philosophical positions with the scientific position. While creationism does form the philosophical starting point of creation science, they are not the same thing. The simple fact of the matter is that there are multiple reasons why creation science is indeed science.

(A “Modern” Retelling of Ancient History—with apologies to William Shakespeare).
(Reference: “JULIUS CAESAR” by William Shakespeare, Act. 111, Scene 11: CAESAR’S FUNERAL ORATION, BY MARK ANTONY.)
Patriots, Americans, countrymen, listen to me.
I come to expose the truth, not to bury it.
The evil that liberals do lives after them,
When it should be buried with their bones.
So should it be with all collectivists.
The ignoble brutes have told you that Americanists and patriots are dangerous;
This is not so, it is a grievous lie,
And grievously have we been maligned.

Two Things Everybody Believes on Blind Faith!
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionists, in general, and atheists in particular, will claim that they do not believe anything, but they know stuff based on evidence. They will often go further and claim that creationists believe in Biblical creation on blind faith. They make this claim based largely on a total rejection of any evidence presented by creationists.
However, there are at least two things that none of us can really know, but we have to assume and believe on blind faith. This is simply a question of intellectual honesty, along with the fact that we only experience our own existence, along with what information we get from the outside. Because we can only experience our own consciousness and the input that it gets, we can only accept on blind faith the rest of reality. We essentially have to accept, on blind faith, the existence of an objective reality in which other people are conscious beings. At first glance, this may seem strange, but when you think about it, it is true.

Seven Important Videos from the Last 48 Hours
These videos are from 15 minutes to 80 minutes long. Why am I sending them—because we really are seriously dangerous times, and the mainstream media is not giving the American people an accurate or complete enough understanding of the situation. Their coverage is, in fact, minimal. A substantial majority of the mainstream media seem to be presenting an orchestrated propaganda campaign. This includes those with both conservative and liberal reputations. Many media agents seem to have an appallingly shallow knowledge of the background and history of the situations and are unaware that they as well as the public are being propagandized to facilitate highly questionable political agendas and war.
Education or Indoctrination? It’s now or never – you choose

Okay, parents, how many of you have gone to your local city hall, county commission meeting and petitioned that they work with you to get all schoolbooks removed until proven innocent of brainwashing your children?
Lopping off the head of the Department of Education in D.C. was a great token, but it did nothing to remove the lies, brainwashing, and dumbing-down of our children. This can only be done locally! That means YOU. It is time (past time, really) to get yourself active in your local politics – all the way up to the state. And NOW!
Impact Fee STUDY: Clearing Up Miscommunication

I’ve seen a lot of confusion circulating since the Planning & Development Committee vote on the impact fee study. I want to address that directly and transparently, because misunderstandings shouldn’t drive the narrative on something this important.
Even a few of my colleagues, for some reason in full council, tried to summarize the committee’s decision by saying that Council “voted against impact fees” and that’s simply not accurate in any way whatsoever.
Here’s what actually happened, and why I think my vote made sense once you see the full picture:
Parents Beware: South Carolina is Medically Institutionalizing Government Schools
- Details
- By USPIE
States across the country are “fine-tuning” their government-funded school choice programs. Legislators should be ashamed of this intrusion into parental authority
South Carolina has a reputation for being more conservative than most states, but recent education legislation shows the dangers of “free” government money even there.
In 2024, the state became the 12th to adopt “universal school choice” when the Education Scholarship Trust Fund program was signed into law by South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster. The program began operating in the 2024-2025 school year and provided $6,000 per student. For the 2025-2026 school year, the program increased to $7500 and now includes 10,000 students, whereas the first year was just 5,000.
Secure Our Future: Advocate for the SAVE Act

Eagle Forum joined dozens of like-minded organizations on a coalition letter urging Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to use the rules and processes that govern the U.S. Senate to pass the SAVE America Act (S. 3752). Engaging in a “talking” filibuster would allow open dialogue and debate on the merits of the SAVE America Act and would permit the bill to be passed by a simple majority of 51 votes. This can be done without changing the Senate rules by forcing the opponents to filibuster the legislation.
GOP Abandoning Pro-Life Policies May Hand Democrats Midterm Victory, Data Shows

- By S.A. McCarthy - The Washington Stand
With midterm elections looming, the GOP has focused much attention on maintaining its razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives. While President Donald Trump and his allies have pushed for Republican-controlled states to aggressively redistrict and net the GOP extra House seats, a new survey is suggesting that the efforts may be for nought if the Trump administration and congressional Republicans don’t act decisively to regulate the remote prescription and shipping of the abortion drug mifepristone.
A Leader like George Washington
- Details
- By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. - Arizona Today
George Washington died shortly before 10pm on December 14, 1799. From those present, family and doctors, he died most peacefully even saying he was not at all afraid to die. He was peaceful and without fear or care, and his face radiated a calmness as he approached death.
His life is well recorded with quite a few witnesses sharing their encounters with the general and president, the statesman and even the worker in the field of his beloved Mount Vernon estate. I am aware of several witnesses who shared later and appropriately the special relationship he had with the Lord. A well-known story of his slipping away from his staff and going into the forest to pray in secret. He sought aid and comfort from God personally for his men; he sought Divine Providence for safety and direction through the darkest days of war and tribulation facing his rag-tag forces and the colonies.

Government Subsidies Killed the EV Industry
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
Here's a depressing but all too predictable headline from The Wall Street Journal last week: "Detroit's EV Pullback Is Costing $50 Billion."
Yikes. That's a lot of money for the American auto industry to lose. Once again, we have confirmation of an iron law of economics: If you want to kill an industry, subsidize it.
The best recent example of this rule is the green energy industry (solar and wind power), which has been heavily boosted with taxpayer dollars for almost 50 years now and is still an inconsequential form of overall energy supply. Dozens of promising firms like Solyndra collected billions of taxpayer dollars and were supposed to be the energy companies of the future. Now they lie in rest in the business-bust cemetery.

Top 10 Reasons Creation Science is claimed not to be Science
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One of the most common attacks made by evolutionists against creationists is to claim that creation science is not actually science. In fact, this claim has been used by atheists in court to silence both creation science and intelligent design in public school classrooms. They are effectively doing science by judicial decree. This is not how scientific questions are supposed to be answered, but it is the way it is done on the topic of origins. This list is a side-by-side presentation of the top 10 reasons critics claim that Creation Science is not science, followed immediately by a creationist's response to each claim.

Property Rights vs. Property Rights? Greenville County Weighs Short-Term Rental Rules
- Details
- By James Spurck, Publisher
Ad hoc committee explores zoning gaps, registration models, neighborhood complaints, and emerging rental trends.
Greenville County Council’s Short-Term Rental Ad Hoc Committee convened for its first formal meeting Feb. 16, electing Councilwoman Liz Seman as Chair and beginning what members acknowledged could be a complex regulatory undertaking.
The issue has also surfaced in prior reporting by Rick Brundrett in The Nerve, where short-term rental owners and managers raised concerns that overly restrictive local ordinances could amount to discriminatory treatment of certain property owners. Those earlier discussions at both the county and state levels have framed the debate as one involving not only neighborhood impacts, but also equal treatment under the law.
The five-member committee includes Liz Seman, Frank Farmer, Curt McGahhey, Dan Tripp, and Alan Mitchell.
Joe Dill Announces Campaign to Restore Accountability and Community Voice in District 17

Former Greenville County Councilman Joe Dill has officially announced his candidacy for Greenville County Council District 17, pledging to restore transparency, fiscal discipline, and meaningful community input as the seat becomes open.
Current Councilman Joey Russo has indicated he will not seek reelection, creating an opportunity to restore the voice of the district 17 citizens.
“District 17 deserves a strong voice at the table,” Dill said. “Major decisions affecting our communities should never be made without meaningful input from the people who live here.”
• Concerns Over Community Input
Dill cited several recent county decisions that he believes reflect a breakdown in communication between county leadership and residents.
He pointed to the demolition of the Slater Senior Center, which he said occurred without sufficient engagement with the surrounding community.
“Facilities that serve our seniors and families should not disappear without a transparent process and a chance for citizens to weigh in,” Dill said.
