Continuing the American Tradition
- Details
- By Robert Cathcart - SC Policy Council
Alexis DeTocqueville spoke of America as a nation of builders and innovators, a people who, rather than turning to government, work together to solve problems. In Volume II, Part II, Chapter 5 of Democracy in America he said:
"Americans of all ages, of all conditions, of all minds, constantly unite. Not only do they have commercial and industrial associations in which they all take part, but also they have a thousand other kinds:” religious, moral, serious ones, useless ones, very general and very particular ones, immense and very small ones; Americans associate to celebrate holidays, establish seminaries, build inns, erect churches, distribute books, send missionaries to the Antipodes; in this way they create hospitals, prisons, schools. If, finally, it is a matter of bringing a truth to light or of developing a sentiment with the support of a good example, they associate. Wherever, at the head of a new undertaking, you see in France the government, and in England, a great lord, count on seeing in the United States, an association. "

Russians Warn Full Military Response
Kaliningrad is a Russian exclave between Lithuania and Poland on the Baltic Sea. It is the Russian Federation’s only ice-free port in Europe and a major Russian naval and military base. On July 17, US General Chris Donahue, Commander of US Army forces in Europe, issued a statement meant to warn the Kremlin that NATO could take control of it “in a timeframe that is unheard of, ” if Russian aggression extended beyond Ukraine. In response, Leonid Slutsky, Chairman of the Russian Duma (parliament) Committee on Foreign Affairs, warned that any attack on Kaliningrad would be met “with all the corresponding retaliatory measures, including nuclear weapons.”
Republicans Finding Common Ground
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
Last Monday evening, I had the opportunity to speak at the Greenville County Republican Party’s quarterly meeting, alongside a number of our federal, state, and local elected officials and candidates.
I spent the first part of my time giving everyone an update on some of the things we’ve accomplished on County Council over the past two years, along with a look at what lies ahead, particularly when it comes to growth, development, and protecting the character of our communities.
But I also wanted to share a message that I believe is especially important as we approach the November election.
One thing I’ve always appreciated about Republicans in South Carolina is that we are a passionate, patriotic bunch of people. We care deeply about our communities, our state, and our country. And we certainly aren’t afraid to speak our minds!
Don’t Bury Your Talents
- Details
- By Rob Pue - Wisconsin Christian News
In Matthew 23, Jesus was in the temple, giving a harsh rebuke to the Scribes and Pharisees — the religious leaders of His day. He condemned them for their hypocrisy, failing to practice what they were preaching... doing all their deeds only for the admiration of men, loving the best seats in the synagogues and being honored, yet none of them were true ministers of God. None were servants... but they sure loved being revered and served by others.
Jesus also pronounced “woe” unto the religious leaders because instead of leading people to the Kingdom of God, they were leading them astray, and as Jesus said, making them “twice the child of hell as yourselves.” He went on to call them “blind guides” and “fools,” and declared they were “straining at gnats while swallowing camels” as they neglected the most important and “weighty” matters of God’s Word. He called them “whitewashed tombs” and rebuked them again for persecuting God’s true followers.

Honoring Captain Linzey on his 106th birthday and the U.S. Navy’s 251st anniversary.
Honoring a Historic Naval Legacy and the Three-Generation Tradition of Military Chaplaincy Known as “The Five Legacy Chaplains”
WASHINGTON — On the 251st anniversary of the founding of the United States Navy, the Military Bible Association commemorates the 106th anniversary of the birth of Captain Stanford E. Linzey, Jr., CHC, USN (Ret.) (1920–2010). A survivor of the Battle of Midway and a distinguished Navy chaplain, Captain Linzey’s military service helped establish an extraordinary family tradition of faith, spiritual leadership, and ministry to America’s Armed Forces.
Born on October 13, 1920—exactly 145 years after the founding of the United States Navy—Captain Linzey entered naval service in 1939, prior to America’s entry into World War II. Serving aboard the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-5), he participated in two of the Pacific War’s most consequential naval engagements: the Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942 and the Battle of Midway in June 1942.
Urge Your Congressman to Sign onto a Letter to Regulate Killer Kratom
- Details

On the last day of September, two University of Mississippi students were found dead in separate dorm rooms. Reports of kratom at both scenes have raised serious concerns about the dangers of this increasingly popular substance. Despite its growing availability and potential for abuse, kratom remains largely unregulated at the federal level. Congress can act by pressing the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to pursue stronger federal controls by making all kratom a Schedule I controlled substance.

Parents who home-educate or send their children to Christian private schools are at serious risk if they become dependent on government funding
A Marine veteran and mother of five is suing an Oregon school district, alleging that officials denied reimbursement for an academic curriculum solely because the books reflected a Christian worldview.
Tessa Bulzan, who left a six-figure job after an incident at her children’s school conflicted with her moral and biblical beliefs, joined Hillsboro School District’s homeschool partnership program in July 2025, according to Fox News. She says the district initially approved her Christian curriculum as academically valid before denying reimbursement months later.

Ralph Norman has publicly stated his support for Darline Graham in November. His write-in supporters are asking voters to do the opposite.
The campaign to write in Ralph Norman has a Ralph Norman problem.
Those pushing his name want conservatives to reject Darline Graham in November. Yet the very man they want us to write in has publicly pledged to support her. They are campaigning against his stated choice while campaigning in his name.
In his September 2 statement on X, Norman recognized Darline’s nomination and pledged support for the Republican nominee. His stated priority included “defeating the Democrats and protecting our conservative values.”

Trump Administration Launches National School Choice Option
- Details
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
Private and homeschooled K-12 students may be eligible for federal scholarships as early as next year, according to rules proposed on October 1 by the U.S. Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The rules implement the “Education Freedom Tax Credit,” which “builds on” language in the 2025 Big Beautiful Bill, and they are scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027.
“Education freedom is the key to unlocking opportunity and success for our next generation of students,” argued U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon. “The Education Freedom Tax Credit, the largest expansion of school choice in history, will supercharge those opportunities for millions of children” and ensure “that every child has access to the education they need, not one limited by ZIP code, family income, or government?'imposed barriers.”
An Unprecedented Hearing
- Details
- By Robert Cathcart - SC Policy Council
On Monday, September 28, three panelists selected by Governor McMaster held a first of its kind hearing to give Charleston County School District Trustee Darlene Dunmeyer-Roberson the ability to refute allegations of misconduct. This was the first hearing of its type to take place, as a 2022 law authorizing the Governor to remove school board members.
This Governor and his predecessors have removed city council and county council members for similar actions in the past, but this is the first time that he has considered removing a sitting school board trustee under the new statute. The statute is broad, allowing the Governor to remove a board member for a number of different defects in their service, including chronically skipping meetings, neglecting their duties, conflicts of interest and misconduct.
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Scriptural Theology Set to Music
A Mighty Fortress is Our God begins with the stanza:
“A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.”
Both the words and melody were written by German Reformer Martin Luther in 1527-1529 under the circumstances of hardship and persecution. The long-revered hymn is a powerful paraphrase of Psalm 46’s eleven verses and a forceful declaration that it is Jesus Christ who is our Defender and Savior.

Federal lawsuit details years of alleged discrimination as University repeatedly failed to protect Jewish and Israeli students
WASHINGTON — Advocates for Faith & Freedom has filed a First Amended Complaint against The George Washington University, detailing a years-long pattern of antisemitic discrimination, intimidation, and harassment against Jewish and Israeli students.
The complaint details how Jewish students were threatened, physically harassed, blocked from classrooms and campus facilities, intimidated into concealing their Jewish identity, and denied equal access to educational opportunities, even as students, parents, and advocates repeatedly alerted GWU administrators to the rampant antisemitism. Despite those warnings, the complaint alleges the hostility continued.

A New Wonder Project Collection Exploring the Stories Behind Familiar Names and Moments in American History and Culture
LOS ANGELES and AUSTIN, Texas — Following its theatrical and digital release this summer, Young Washington is now streaming on Wonder Project’s subscription service on Prime Video. The film anchors “Stories Worth Knowing,” a new collection spotlighting the stories behind figures and moments in American history and culture. Young Washington ranked as the No. 2 film at the domestic box office on July 4, as America marked its 250th anniversary.
“Young Washington began for me about a decade ago, when I was working in New York and couldn’t get a ticket to Hamilton. Instead, I started reading about Washington and the American Revolution, and I became fascinated by how this larger-than-life figure was actually formed,” said Young Washington director and Wonder Project founder Jon Erwin. “I discovered an incredible chapter of his early life shaped by adventure, hardship, failure, and perseverance, and I knew it was a story I wanted to tell. I’m incredibly proud that Young Washington now has a home on Wonder Project and anchors our ‘Stories Worth Knowing’ collection. The collection is rooted in a belief that has guided me from the beginning: Real stories can be more compelling than anything we could invent. I hope these stories entertain families and spark in them the same curiosity that first sent me down this path – a desire to learn more about the real people and moments at the heart of each story.”

A Scientific Commentary on Genesis Chapter 1
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The book of Genesis is one of the most important books in the Bible. Not only does it start off at the beginning of time but God's creation of the entire universe. Genesis is the most highly debated book in the Bible, even among Christians, but chapter 1 is the most contested chapter in the most contested book in the Bible. This controversy comes from only one cause. It is nothing textual, but it results exclusively from the desire to try to reconcile it with atheistic mythology being promoted as science. What follows is a discussion of Genesis chapter 1, examining it from a historically accurate scientific perspective. Science provides clues as to what would be happening if Genesis chapter one happened exactly as described and not as part of a desperate effort to have it both ways

Islamic Expansion in Texas

Until Islam is prevalent in every city across America, Sharia is marching to dominant here in America. Make NO mistake about this. Do NOT remain in your “comfortably numb” state; although, that is what the army of Islam wants you to do. I know several of the participants in what you are about to read below, and in the film highlights I also have enclosed. These individuals are not reactionary nor theatrical. They are true and committed Americans willing to give their lives for the continued freedom of our nation. This is not a drill, and I pray you begin to truly learn what is coming – even in the most conservative and rural areas across America.
A group with special operations and intelligence skills and filmmaker Chris Burgard teamed up on Saturday to teach pastors in East Texas how to respond to the rise of Islam in the Lone Star State. The Allied Special Intelligence Group is an organization that uses its knowledge of special operations military skills, counterintelligence, and human intelligence to educate and train citizens on how to “legally and lawfully, delay, disrupt, dismantle, and remove Communists/Marxists and Terrorists networks from our communities in order to restore and protect our Constitutional Republic.”
Nebraska Volunteer Firefighter Denied Full-Time Job for Being Homeschooled
- Details
- By Quinn Delamater - The Washington Stand
The United States Armed Forces allows homeschoolers to enlist, but the city of Fremont, Nebraska appears to think they are unfit to join their local fire department. Now, the governor’s office is investigating.
Andrew Coates, a 22-year-old volunteer firefighter at Fremont Fire Department, hoped to turn his charity work into a full-time job. But his application was denied by the city, who claimed that since his high school diploma is from a homeschooling program, it was not from an accredited high school. When Coates applied in April 2026, there was no rule barring homeschoolers from becoming firefighters. After the closing date of the application, Coates was notified that he had been disqualified — the rules had apparently changed and he was no longer eligible. Last week, Fremont’s Civil Service Commission reviewed an appeal from Coates, before deciding that it didn’t have the authority to overturn the city’s employment policy.
Down the Rabbit Holes of Regionalism

- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center
We, at American Policy Center and numerous other organizations here in the U.S. and other countries (Norway, England and Canada to name a few), have been speaking out against the many ways our countries have been working toward a one-world government. We started only some 30-40 years ago, but others were speaking out well before we woke up.to the destruction planned by those seeking to control the entire globe. One of those was Jo Hindman, who focused on Regionalism. Thankfully, she was on it; she was quite intelligent and was able to explain and expose it. Regretfully, those in power – both in D.C. and in the states – either remained ignorant as to what they were burdening their constituents or liked being in on the power.

Eagle Forum applauds the U.S. Department of Education for formally rescinding the Biden-era Title IX policies and restoring sex-based protections. The move reinforces Title IX's original purpose: prohibiting sex discrimination in federally funded education and athletic programs.
“The Biden administration’s attempt to rewrite Title IX undermined the protections Congress established for women and girls,” stated Kris Ullman, President of Eagle Forum. “These policies threatened female athletes’ opportunities, put scholarships and athletic achievements at risk, and compromised women’s privacy in bathrooms, locker rooms, and other intimate spaces.”

Greenville Takes Third Among America’s Most Republican Major Metro Areas
- Details
- By The Times Examiner Staff Report
The Upstate earns a place near the top in a national comparison of 2024 presidential voting.
Greenville has another national ranking to add to its résumé, and this one comes with a distinctly red ribbon. A map featured by Brilliant Maps places the Greenville metropolitan area third among the most Republican of the nation’s 100 largest metro areas. For local Republicans, that is a fun bit of hometown recognition, with only Provo, Utah, and Knoxville, Tennessee, finishing ahead of Greenville.
The comparison, credited to Josh Metcalf at VoteHub and featured in a September 28 post, uses 2024 presidential election results within metropolitan statistical boundaries. Greenville posted a Republican winning margin of 33.5 percentage points, behind Provo’s 41.9 points and Knoxville’s 35 points. That puts Greenville just 1.5 points behind second place and ahead of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Ogden, Utah, which rounded out the top five.
Thurmond and Murkowski Won as Write-Ins. Is This Year’s Senate Race Really the Same?
- Details
- By James Spurck - Publisher | Political Analysis
Strom Thurmond and Lisa Murkowski proved that write-in campaigns can win a U.S. Senate seat. But as their victories are invoked in South Carolina’s current write-in effort, the circumstances behind those historic wins deserve a closer look.
History has a funny way of becoming shorter every time it gets passed around on social media. “Strom Thurmond did it.” “Lisa Murkowski did it.” Both statements are true. Strom Thurmond won a United States Senate seat from South Carolina as a write-in candidate in 1954. Lisa Murkowski accomplished the same remarkable feat in Alaska in 2010. Today, as South Carolinians debate an independent citizen-led effort to write Congressman Ralph Norman’s name onto the ballot for U.S. Senate, those two names are increasingly offered as proof that it has been done before and can be done again. They’re right about the first part. History has settled that question. But history isn’t a collection of convenient headlines, and before we use it to guide a decision today, perhaps prudence ought to finish reading the story.

Senator Darline Graham made her campaign pitch for six more years in office this past Monday at the Poinsett Club as she addressed several dozen members of the Upstate Republican Women.
Graham, who was appointed to her position by Governor Henry McMaster to fill the remaining months of her late brother Lindsey's term in the U.S. Senate, started her brief remarks by speaking about the “brutal” campaign schedule she kept up during the special primary season.
“Up in the morning, going all day until late at night while grieving while going to my brother's services,” she related, adding, “No one can question my strength, I don't think, because I'm very strong to make it through that, but it's only by the grace of God and prayer. My faith got me through it as well.”
