Oratory for this Troubled Time in America
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
(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.

The Upstate Republican Women’s Club and Fourth Republican District Club hosted a South Carolina Republican gubernatorial forum on February 23, 2026, bringing together party activists and voters for a structured discussion of leadership priorities ahead of the June primary.
Veteran broadcaster Jane Robelot served as moderator, emphasizing the responsibility of informed voting and encouraging attendees to evaluate not just policy positions but governing temperament. Each candidate was given time for opening remarks, policy questions, and a closing statement. Audience participation from the floor was not permitted.
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.
S.C. Senate Moves to Expand Property Tax Homestead Exemption
- Details
- By Neil Wolin - SC Policy Council

In response, the Senate advanced S.768, the bill would expand the current $50,000 homestead exemption.
After a round of adopted and rejected amendments in committee and on the Senate floor, the bill received second and third reading, advancing the legislation to the House for consideration.

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

- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center
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
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
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
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
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
- Details
- By Press Release
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.
A Trio of Data Center Bills Filed in the Senate
- Details
- By Neil Wolin - SC Policy Council
Last year, the governor signed energy legislation that expedited energy projects in the state, most notably the Canady’s natural gas plant. Before signage, the House removed requirements that would protect ratepayers from massive energy infrastructure costs driven up by commercial data centers.
In the absence of these protections and heightened concerns about where and how data centers operate in the state, the Senate has introduced three new data center regulatory bills.
Nearly 80 percent of S.C. voters support data centers providing their own energy generation or paying for their own infrastructure costs, as indicated in SCPC’s recent winter poll.

Facing an Existential Threat to American Survival
First of all, as to the shooting deaths of protestors in Minneapolis by ICE agents, I do not wish to dwell upon the unfortunate details, although I agree they were indeed unfortunate. However, being a combat veteran myself, although not involved in close-quarter personal combat, I am familiar with the difficulties of high levels of adrenaline, stress, and urgency in combat situations. I have retired Army and Marine officer friends who experienced more urgent combat stresses at close-quarter. This is often the very hard but unavoidable part of dedicated and honorable soldiering and law enforcement. However, in enforcing immigration laws and enforcing law in general, these unfortunate incidents will happen. They should never happen by intention, but reasonable and economic actions to reduce such incidents should have constant attention.

Here’s a bill every legislator needs to support
Environmentalists have been using geoengineering to create the lies of climate change. They have used geoengineering to create unusual weather patterns to bolster the lie of climate change.
For decades governments have used various methods to alter or manipulate the atmosphere starting with cloud seeding to make rain for agriculture. That is a perfectly innocent use of geo-engineering. Regretfully, the powers-that-be who would control the world have devised far more negative, even demonic, uses.
If You Want to Stay Free, Stand Up and Speak Out!
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Let’s begin this essay by examining a well known Bible passage—Matthew 5:13-16, with two versions--one from my favorite 1599 Geneva Bible (Super Titled in italics) and one from the New International Version (Sub-Titled in regular type):
Verse 13
“Ye are the salt of the world; but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted?
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?
It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
Was Climate Change the Greatest Financial Scandal in History?

Environmental scholar Bjorn Lomborg recently calculated that across the globe, governments have spent at least $16 trillion feeding the climate change industrial complex.
And for what?
Arguably, not a single life has been or will be saved by this shameful and colossal misallocation of human resources. The war on safe and abundant fossil fuels has cost countless lives in poor countries and made those countries poorer by blocking affordable energy.
Since the global warming crusade started some 30 years ago, the temperature of the planet has not been altered by one-tenth of a degree -- as even the alarmists will admit.
Senate Property Tax Debate Expands as Bright Pushes Broader Relief Amendment

S.768 would raise senior exemption to $150,000 as a proposed amendment seeks relief for all homeowners
Debate over property tax relief intensified this week in the South Carolina General Assembly as senators continue to consider the Senate Bill 768, a measure that would significantly expand South Carolina’s homestead exemption for seniors while also opening discussion about broader relief for all primary homeowners.
Senate Bill 768, as amended by the Senate Finance Committee, would increase the existing homestead exemption from $50,000 to $150,000 of fair market value for qualifying homeowners age 65 and older who have lived in South Carolina for at least five property tax years. Under current law, the homestead exemption applies to residents age 65 and older, as well as those who are legally blind or totally disabled, and exempts the first $50,000 of a primary residence’s fair market value from county, municipal, school, and special assessment property taxes.
FY 27: Another year of big state spending?

So how does this budget shape up compared to last year's final figures?

Three years ago, if you’d asked the smartest conservatives in the room what it would take to change corporate America, nobody would’ve guessed six beer cans. But looking back, one of the best things that’s ever happened in this century will also go down as one of the worst business decisions ever made. When Bud Light plastered Dylan Mylvaney’s face on a pack of cold ones, a switch flipped in this country — sparking a grassroots revolution that’s still turning woke brands on its head. And while it’s gratifying to see the power shift from cocky CEOs to the people, what’s even better is seeing the bully behind it all crumble.

Secession, Tariffs, Sectionalism, Southern Rights, Slavery, Truth, Defeated Valor
One of my favorite quotes revealing the real causes of Southern secessions from the United States, beginning with South Carolina on December 20, 1860, and leading to six other secessions and Confederate artillery batteries in Charleston bombarding Union held Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, is an early November editorial in the Charleston Mercury. On November 4, 1860, just two days before Lincoln’s election in November 6, the Charleston Mercury summed up the feeling of South Carolina on the impending national crisis:
“The real causes of dissatisfaction in the South with the North, are in the unjust taxation and expenditure of the taxes by the Government of the United States, and in the revolution the North has effected in this government, from a confederated republic to a national sectional despotism.”
Does The Final Cruise of S.S. Britanis Provide a Warning For America?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
She was launched in 1932 and christened as the S.S. MONTEREY by Matson Lines. Over a 68 year illustrious life, with several different cruise line owners, she became the oldest continuously operated (with a few layup years) cruise ship afloat. Over all those years, when “cruising” became in turn very popular and, when air travel became faster, safer, and less expensive, almost dead for a time, she kept being retrofitted and modernized, often with spare parts from her scrapped sister ships. Her beautiful and majestic lines were known by various names over those decades (Monterey, Matsonia, Lurline, Britanis, and finally, as Belofin). On our one and only cruise on her in December, 1990, my wife and I knew and loved her as S.S.BRITANIS, and that’s what she’ll always be in our memories. We had a wonderful week on her, and we got to know every foot of her historic teak decks, inside and out.
Catastrophic Plate Tectonics
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Catastrophic Plate Tectonics is a proposed geophysical model that is most commonly associated with young-Earth creationist frameworks. It explains large-scale geological features such as mountain ranges, ocean basins, sedimentary layers, fossils, and continental distribution through rapid, large-magnitude plate motions occurring over a very short timescale. This timescale ranges from months to a few years, rather than the millions of years required by conventional plate tectonics.
Catastrophic Plate Tectonics does an excellent job of modeling the global flood described in the book of Genesis in the Bible. It not only fits the description in the Bible but also explains how such a global flood is possible.
