New 'Generation of Hope' Rises in Ex-Communist Strongholds
- Details
- By Infinity Concepts
LOVES PARK, Ill. — It would have been unimaginable in the communist era—a hundred young people in Belarus openly celebrating their Christian faith.
But the recent youth gathering at an evangelical church in the ex-communist nation is just the tip of a swelling movement—a new generation of young Christians across the former communist world eager to show their faith to the world.
“There’s a rising hope among the young generation all across the former Soviet Union,” said Eric Mock, senior vice president of ministry operations at Illinois-based Slavic Gospel Association (SGA), a mission that supports local evangelical churches.
The numbers speak for themselves.
Naturalism of the Gaps: Why Unproven Materialism is Often Mistaken for Science
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
We’ve all heard of the 'God of the Gaps,' but there is a far more pervasive silent player in modern academia. Here, we dissect how unproven materialism masquerades as objective science to bridge massive voids in empirical data. It is time to look behind the curtain at the philosophical commitments that treat gaps in our knowledge as evidence for a physicalist reality.
Think science is always based on hard evidence? What if some of our most 'scientific' theories are actually powered by blind faith? Today, we are exposing the 'Naturalism of the Gaps' logical sleight of hand that replaces missing data with materialist assumptions. Is your worldview built on facts, or just a secular mirror of the very dogmas it claims to reject?
‘A True American Original’: Lindsey Graham Funeral Rivets Capital
- Details
- By Dan Hart - The Washington Stand
A solemn procession of military servicemembers carried the body of former Senator Lindsey Graham (S.C.) down the central aisle of the magnificent National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. for his funeral service on Tuesday as his beloved sister Darline, President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, the entire presidential cabinet, and dozens of dignitaries looked on. The president described the late statesman as “a giant of the United States Senate” who “gave America the full measure of his good and mighty heart.”
Back to Basics: Understanding Your Greenville County Property Tax Bill from Start to Finish
- Details
- By James Spurck, Publisher
Greenville County Auditor Scott Case spent a Back-to-Basics Breakfast walking residents through one of the most misunderstood subjects in local government: property taxes. From assessment ratios and millage rates to school tax credits and economic development incentives, Case's goal was to help taxpayers understand how every major component of their tax bill works.
Every year Greenville County property owners receive a tax bill in the mail. Most know how much they owe. Far fewer understand how that amount was calculated, who determined it, where the money goes, or why two similar homes can receive very different tax bills.
During a Palmetto Conservative Fund Back-to-Basics Breakfast on May 30 at Golden Corral, Greenville County Auditor Scott Case set out to answer those questions. Using sample tax bills, charts, and examples from Greenville County's tax system, Case walked attendees through the process from beginning to end.
Rather than focusing on political debates, the presentation focused on civic education. The goal was to help taxpayers understand how the system works and why certain numbers appear on their annual tax notice.
The Ukrainian Drone Attacks on Wildberries

The Magyar Bird Strategy to Weaken Russian E-Commerce
Wildberries is the largest Russian online retailer, comparable in business strategy and operations to Amazon.com. Estimated revenues in 2025 were at least $15 billion, accounting for more than 40% of Russian online retail sales. Wildberries fills 7 million orders per day. Its founder and CEO is Tatyana Kim, mother of 7 children, whose net worth is now estimated at 8.1billion.
Kim was born in 1975 in Grozny, Chechnya, USSR. She is of Korean descent. She met and married Vladislav Bakalchuk around 2001. She conceptualized and tested the idea of Wildberries, starting with selling used clothes, while she was on pregnancy leave as an English teacher. Following the birth of their first child in 2004, she launched Wildberries without any capital. Bakalchuk, however, a talented engineer and entrepreneur, sold his internet service company, Utech for $7.5 million. By 2006, increasing success and expanded sales lines, inventory, and logistical advantages resulted in moving Wildberries’ headquarters to Moscow. By 2022, Wildberries was the largest E-store in Russia, also doing considerable international business. In 2026, the company uses all the advanced AI, robotic, automation, and safety equipment available to it. The company is under U.S. sanctions. This has not stopped Wolfberries’ phenomenal growth. Wildberries’s revenue increased 98% in 2025 and is forecast to grow 35-40% in 2026 and 2027.
A Major Voting Change You Need to Know Before August 11
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
About half of Greenville County’s polling locations will be different for this special election.
I want to make sure this information reaches people well before Election Day, because this is not an election where everyone can simply drive to the place they normally vote and assume it will be open.
South Carolina will hold a Special Republican Primary for the United States Senate on Tuesday, August 11. This special process is being held to select a replacement Republican nominee following the death of Senator Lindsey Graham. The nominee chosen through the primary, and a runoff, if one is necessary, will appear on the November 3 general-election ballot.
The date creates an unusual local challenge: August 11 is also the first day of school for Greenville County Schools.
Home Education Drives Leftists Crazy, as Recent Unhinged Podcast Demonstrates

- By USPIE
They know a threat when they see it. Home-based education produces well-adjusted, knowledgeable and confident students who can think for themselves instead of parroting drivel from the brainwashing system that is government education
Home education in America keeps growing despite opposition from leftist teachers’ unions like the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers, both of which are led by leftist women.
Home education’s continued success also seems to be infuriating online “influencers” like those on the radical leftist “I’ve Had It” podcast.
A July 14 segment of the show by co-hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan begins with an obscenity directed at Trump supporters and goes on to condemn home education as “weird as f—” and the “worst” idea.
They know a threat when they see it. Home-based education produces well-adjusted, knowledgeable and confident students who can think for themselves instead of parroting drivel from the brainwashing system that is government education.

Key Facts:
- President Trump urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune to cancel the August recess until the SAVE America Act is passed.
- Republican Sens. Mike Lee, Rick Scott, and Ashley Moody said they would object to the Senate leaving without action.
- The bill would require proof of citizenship for federal voter registration and photo identification when voting.
Pressure mounts on Majority Leader John Thune as Republicans push election-integrity legislation ahead of the August recess
WASHINGTON (Worthy News) – President Donald Trump and three Republican senators are pressing Senate Majority Leader John Thune to keep the chamber in session through August until lawmakers pass the SAVE America Act, escalating a growing dispute over one of the president’s top election-integrity priorities.
Trump called on Thune, R-S.D., not to permit senators to leave Washington until the legislation reaches his desk. The president also renewed his demand that Republicans abolish the legislative filibuster, which generally requires 60 votes to advance major legislation in the Senate.

Palmetto State Places Sixth Nationwide in New WalletHub Study, Including Fifth for Quality
South Carolina often finds itself in the middle of national debates over education, school funding and what government can do to improve educational outcomes. But when it comes to early childhood education, a new national study gives the Palmetto State something worth noticing.
South Carolina has been ranked sixth in the nation for its early education system, according to a new 2026 study released by WalletHub.
The study, titled States with the Best & Worst Early Education Systems, compared all 50 states and the District of Columbia using 12 measurements covering access, quality, spending, school safety and economic support.
How Do You Sleep At Night?

At the end of Matthew 28, Jesus gave His disciples the Great Commission. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
In John, Chapter 14, when our Lord was instructing His disciples as to what would soon come, He made another very bold — and very clear — statement: “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.” He then went on to explain how those who love Him will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Verse 17 says, of the Holy Spirit, “...whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.”
Over $1 million in pothole claims made against SCDOT in FY 2025-26
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
In fiscal year 2025-26, at least 954 pothole damage or injury claims totaling more than $1 million were filed against the S.C. Department of Transportation, though less than half of them were approved with much smaller collective payouts, records provided to The Nerve show.
Out of the 954 claims for incidents that occurred from July 29, 2025, through April 30 of this year, 349, or about 37%, were listed as approved with $174,060 in total settlements, which represented less than 17% of the overall $1,067,016 in claims, The Nerve’s review found.
Another 374 claims, or 39% of the total, were denied, while 228 cases were pending and three were appealed, according to DOT records, which were provided in May to The Nerve under the state Freedom of Information Act.

I cant really say I was surprised. Rather, it was one of those, what will they think of next moments. This past week, the news came that Road Rage is not really anyones fault. Instead, like most of the character flaws we dont want to take the blame for, its now become a medical problem, something beyond our control.
As if we didnt have enough to worry about with all the new diseases that have sprung up over the past few years, now we have IED, or Intermittent Explosive Disorder, and it reportedly afflicts 16 million Americans, causing them to lose their temper, or explode intermittently. So now, those who choose to be rude, overly aggressive or abusive behind the wheel have a legitimate excuse. Its not my fault. I cant help my poor behavior. I have IED.
On the Abortion Pill, Follow the Evidence
- Details
- By Tony Perkins - The Washington Stand
Look at the evidence.
In his address to the nation on election integrity, President Donald Trump declassified compelling evidence that America’s elections are vulnerable to manipulation, from noncitizens voting to foreign interference. The president argued that the evidence demands action by Congress to protect one of the most sacred rights of American citizens, the right to vote.
The principle applies elsewhere. When the evidence is clear, it demands action.
Turkish Naval Force Deploys in Eastern Mediterranean
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
Alarming Indication of Possible Cross-Purposes with NATO
Outside of U.S. forces, Türkiye has the largest and most powerful armed forces in Europe and West Asia. By approximately July 17, the Turkish Navy had deployed 14 capital ships between Cyprus and three major Turkish Navy bases on its Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, probably Aksaz, Foca-Izmir, and Iskenderun. This might be only a training exercise, but it could also be a strong statement of changing Turkish alignments.
Moreover, Cyprus has been the scene of ongoing ethnic conflicts and tensions between Greek and Turkish Cypriots and Greece and Türkiye since 1955. Cyprus gained its independence from the United Kingdom in August 1960. The island of Cyprus is about 75% Greek Christian and 25% Turkish Muslim. In 1974, reacting to a Greek Cypriot nationalist and Greek military coup that would have made Cyprus part of Greece, a Turkish invasion effectively divided Cyprus into an autonomous northern Turkish government and the southern Republic of Cyprus. About 200,000 people were displaced. The population of the southern Republic is currently about 923,000. The northern Turkish state has a population of 383,000 The northern Federated State of Cyprus declared its independence in 1983. This is recognized only by Türkiye, although it should be acknowledged that the Northern Turkish Muslims would be terribly unhappy to be a minority in a predominantly Greek Christian republic.
Networks Continue Treasonous Cover-Up of U.S. Election Fraud

ATLANTA – Although President Donald Trump presented newly declassified intelligence of actual U.S. election fraud in his speech to the nation Thursday night, several national networks knowingly refused to carry it on their broadcast channels. Instead, they left their dwindling viewership uninformed about real foreign interference in U.S. elections. Revelations included how our own government officials withheld critical intelligence of such interference andrefused to prosecute actual fraud for political reasons.
Operation Rescue Releases Strong Statement to Republican-Led Congress

'There is No Reason to Pour Anymore Federal Funding into Child-Killing'
WASHINGTON — The Republican-led U.S. Congress recently failed to ensure millions of dollars in taxpayer funding could not be restored to Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
In 2025, through the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” Congress successfully stopped Planned Parenthood and other abortion groups from receiving millions in Medicaid reimbursements. That halt expired on July 4, 2026, and a new $95 billion budget resolution from the House will not stop Planned Parenthood from once again accessing up to $800 million in taxpayer dollars to keep its abortion clinics open and to continue killing over 400,000 American children each year.
Even after one year without Medicaid funding, coupled with a historic number of clinic closures, Planned Parenthood remains one of the biggest suppliers of abortion in the nation.
Are All Mutations Truly Random?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One of the most powerful arguments against universal common descent evolution is the randomness of mutations. The counter argument is that mutations are not truly random because in some cases natural selection keeps them from being truly random. However, this presupposes that Natural Selection is powerful enough to overcome the randomness of mutations. There is no question that there is a tendency for mutations to be random to some degree. The primary question before us is; are all mutations truly random?
Defining "Random": Statistical vs. Biological Meanings
Before diving into biology, it is crucial to establish what science means by "random." While mutations may be unpredictable regarding where and when they will occur and the exact nature of the mutation, they are not mathematically or physically uniform in distribution across the genome. There are factors that prevent them from being random in the sense of being evenly distributed, but they are still clearly random in how, where and when one will occur. They are just unevenly distributed throughout the genome.
What Phyllis Schlafly Understood About Family, Culture, and Civilization
- Details
- By Spyridon Andrews - Eagle Forum
Phyllis Schlafly was the ultimate American frontier woman.
In conducting research for my upcoming book about American culture, I came across the controversial figure of Phyllis Schlafly. I remember her as someone my mother liked, as she was exactly the demographic Phyllis tried to reach: a Christian homemaker. I vaguely remembered the controversy surrounding the Equal Rights Amendment growing up, and the argument that while its supporters claimed they wanted “equal rights for women,” its detractors believed it would strip women of certain protections and privileges, such as exemption from the draft. I don’t remember all the particulars, other than seeing ERA NOW signs and STOP ERA signs in roughly equal proportion. Then, like so many cultural battles of the era, it faded from memory.
The Republic of Türkiye and the Iran War
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
West Asia’s and Europe’s Most Formidable Military Power
In 2022, at the request of the Turkish government, the United Nations changed the English spelling of Turkey to Türkiye. This was to reflect the actual native pronunciation and avoid any inappropriate association with the large American bird. English does not have an umlauted ü as German does, so perhaps English speakers can be excused for spelling it Turkiye.
The vast majority of Turkiye’s territory, approximately 97%, lies in West Asia. The West Asian part or eastern part of Turkiye is historically known as Anatolia, which includes 85% of the population. The smaller 3% of western Turkiye lies in Europe in a region called East Thrace, bordering Greece and Bulgaria. The European portion of Turkiye includes part of Turkiye’s largest city, Istanbul, and thus a disproportionate part of the Turkish population at 15%. The Dardanelles Strait (also known as the Gallipoli Strait) leading from the Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara, and the Bosporus Strait leading to the Black Sea are the border between Europe and Asia. A part of Istanbul lies across the Bosporus in Europe.
The Common Evolutionist Attack that Creationists Are Just Saying “God Did It.”
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
A common attack by evolutionists against creationists is that they are just saying “God did it.” This is a straw man, simply because creationists are saying a lot more of than that God did it. If you bothered to read not just creationists material but the Bible itself, you would see actual processes describe and not just the broad statement that “God did it.” Now ultimately; God did indeed do the creating but claiming that Creationists are just saying “God did it” is at best an oversimplification. It would be like saying that evolutionists are just saying “natural processes did it.” Neither of these is an accurate representation of the position.

This week, South Carolina lost one of its most recognizable public servants with the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham.
For more than three decades, he represented our state in Columbia and Washington, serving in the South Carolina House, the United States House of Representatives, and ultimately the United States Senate. Along the way, he also continued serving as a Colonel in the United States Air Force Reserve and as a Judge Advocate General (JAG), making him one of the few members of Congress to continue wearing the uniform while holding federal office.

I had done this same thing a million times before - standing in line to pay at the gas station/convenience store. That’s where I was the other day, when God suddenly opened my eyes. It was an amazing revelation of reality, and it was interesting how I had never really noticed it before...
What am I talking about? Well, you see I was standing there, waiting my turn, and it was taking a while. Looking to my right, I noticed a display taking up an entire wall, floor-to-ceiling of hard liquor of every sort. At the end of this row was a big display of various types of cigars.

Idaho Abortion Voter Initiative Qualifies for the Ballot this November
- Details
- By Stanton Public Policy Center
BOISE, Idaho — The Idaho abortion voter initiative qualifies for the ballot this November. The ballot initiative would allow abortions for the full nine months of pregnancy if passed this November and nullify the “Defense of Life Act.”
Since the “Defense of Life Act” legislation began being enforced on August 25, 2022, it is estimated nearly 6,000 innocent children have been saved from abortion in Idaho.
Also, not one woman has been arrested for having a miscarriage, no doctor has been prosecuted under the “Defense of Life Act” and not a single woman has died seeking an “illegal abortion” as pro-choice activists claimed would happen.
The “Defense of Life Act,” has protected thousands of innocent children by ending abortion violence in Idaho as well as protecting thousands of women from forced and coerced abortions.

I am writing this on July 4, 2026, the Birthday of the Declaration of American Independence. I have always been a strong supporter of the tremendously important principles of the Declaration of Independence and an admirer of Thomas Jefferson and his other writings, political ideas, immense intellect, and character. One of my great-great grandfathers on my mother’s side was named Thomas Jefferson Bradsher. Folks back then frequently revealed their own principles and sometimes politics by the names they gave their children. At least two of my ancestors on my father’s side are recorded as having served the American cause at the Battle of Cowpens in South Carolina on January 17, 1781.

The Principle of Entropy and the Application of Energy
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Without the application of external energy, the entropy of a system will always increase. This is the heart of the second law of thermodynamics. However, contrary to how it is often stated the application of energy does not magically reduce the entropy of a system. The simple fact of the matter is that the entropy of the energy being applied to the system determines how the energy affects the entropy of the system.
What is energy?
The basic scientific definition of energy is: “the ability to do work.” Energy is what allows everything in the universe to move and do things. We take in energy from the food we eat and use it to run our bodies. Energy comes in many forms: mechanical, kinetic, Thermal, chemical, electrical, and radiant. There are ways of turning all of these forms of energy into useful work. It is also energy that is responsible for mass, and this allows us to control our motion.
When the Liberty Bell Found Its True Voice
- Details
- By James Spurck, Publisher
While America celebrates its 250th Anniversary, let us remember the most famous bell, which became immortal only after it could no longer ring. The forgotten story behind its inscription, its crack, and the liberty it continues to proclaim reveals far more than most Americans have ever been told.
Like millions of other Americans, I had always taken the Liberty Bell for granted. It was simply one of those familiar symbols that had always been there, like the American flag, the bald eagle, the Statue of Liberty or Mount Rushmore. I knew it represented liberty, but I had never stopped to ask what that actually meant.
That changed just a few days ago.
As my wife, who proudly became an American citizen less than a decade ago, and I reflected on America's 250th birthday, she asked me, a lifelong American, a simple question that caught me completely off guard. It was a question I should have asked long ago.
"What does the Liberty Bell actually stand for?"
Confident in my assumptions, I thought I knew the answer. I didn’t.
