The finite mind of man is now, and has always been, “fruitless” and “futile” in his attempt to identify true God; and as a consequence, we have not had and do not now have the ability, on our own, to initiate communication with Him or worship Him!
We have a limited “human mind” that can perceive nothing beyond our “finite” material world! True God, on the other hand, has “infinite” capacity. Mankind, on his own, cannot identify true God nor communicate with Him nor comprehend Him!
We humans have passed our initial limited, finite mind from generation to succeeding generation, without enhancement, from the beginning of our material creation; and, since time immemorial our finite spirit has foolishly identified, worshipped and died for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of “imaginary” false gods. Our human “spirit,” in its finite “wisdom”, deified the sun, the moon, stars, birds, serpents, animals, invisible spirits, man like super-humans; and, man-beasts, even men!
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Strong families are the cornerstone of strong communities that go on to build a stronger nation as a whole. Unfortunately, widespread divorce rates, the erosion of traditional marriage, the popular rise of radical ideologies, attacks on faith, and government interference in our daily lives are resulting in a breakdown of the family, robbing us of the country we love. Dr. Ben Carson says it doesn’t have to be this way. Recent polls show a large proportion of the country agree and are signaling a move back to conservative principles rooted in faith and family, of which Dr. Carson is a foremost proponent.
In his new book, The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture’s War on the American Family (Zondervan, May 14, 2024), one of the most influential conservative voices, Dr. Carson offers inspiration and action-packed answers needed to restore the family as America’s key foundation. Like many of us, Dr. Carson fears we are losing the country we love and encourages readers to return to the biblical and familial values on which our nation was founded.
President Joe Biden is boasting about the recent stock market rally. He's right that stocks have been on a tear for the last 14 months. The S&P 500 hit 5,000 for the first time in history. That's up from 500 some 30 years ago.
Even with all our problems, the United States is the unrivaled alpha male nation. The dollar is the only currency that matters globally (the Euro and BRICS are weak little sisters), and for the first time, the U.S. economy produces far more than all of socialist Europe combined. Our Magnificent Seven technology firms -- Amazon, Apple, Google, Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft and Tesla -- are close to being worth more than all of the stocks combined in any other country, with the exception of China.
The notion of aliens on other planets is a very popular part of science fiction. The notion has become part of popular culture with many science fiction movies and books based on the concept. This particular discussion is primarily about intelligent aliens, not bacteria or even animal life as they are a different discussion. Two things we have to realize are that to date there is no evidence for such beings and that it is not a Biblical concept.
The first thing that needs to be noted about the idea of feeling some other planets is that not only is it an entirely evolutionary idea, but it is also founded purely on atheistic naturalistic materialistic thinking. The reason for this is that the idea is that if we came about by pure chance surely given the billions of stars in the universe and billions of more planets that there must be some of those must be inhabitable, you're also inhabited. Consequently, the idea that alien life exists is primarily founded on an atheistic worldview.
U.S. Term Limits (USTL), the leader in the national, non-partisan movement to limit terms for elected officials, is gathering support from state lawmakers across the nation. Its mission is to get 34 states to apply for an amendment proposal convention specific to term limits on Congress. South Carolina state house Rep. Patrick Haddon (District 19), has committed support for term limits on Congress by signing the term limits convention pledge.
USTL President, Philip Blumel, commented on Haddon's pledge saying, “Patrick's strong support of term limits shows that there are individuals who are willing to listen to the majority of voters who want term limits. America needs a Congress that will be served by citizen legislators, not career politicians.”
On Monday, February 12th, 2024 the Greenville Patriot Caucus had the honor of hosting an official launch at Hughes Main Library. During this launch and inaugural event, GPC was proud to welcome nearly 200 attendees, fellow conservative groups, non-profits, and elected officials. We would like to extend a sincere thank you to all who were able to attend and to those who were with us in spirit.
The event kicked off with an engaging opportunity to network and visit with other conservative groups and non-profits in attendance. To open, the Greenville Patriot Caucus proudly announced our endorsement of Donald J. Trump for President and provided an overview of the vision and mission of the organization, setting the stage for what is sure to be an inspiring and impactful journey of conservatives Advancing Liberty Together.
First released in 2013, the i3 marked BMW‘s initial foray into the realm of mainstream electric vehicles. Primarily designed as a city car rather than a long-distance traveler, it wrapped up its U.S. journey in 2021 with approximately 45,100 units sold on this side of the pond.
Three years after its demise, the BMW i3 remains a dapper little puddle jumper that isn’t too expensive on the used-car market. Like most luxury cars though, and especially ones from established European marques, it’s not the initial cost but the lurking maintenance expenses that can catch you off guard.
The Daughters of 1812 held a meeting at The American Legion Rudolf Anderson Jr. Post 214 on 3110 Wade Hampton Blvd. Taylors SC. The National Society of United States Daughters of 1812, commonly known as the Daughters of 1812, is a patriotic society headquartered in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1892 at Cleveland, Ohio, by Flora Darling, and incorporated in 1901 by Congress.
In 2024, the upstate region of South Carolina will receive a new 821 area code that will supplement—but not replace—the current 864 area code. An overlay is the addition of another area code (821) to the same geographic region served by an existing area code (864). An overlay does not require customers to change their existing area code but does require customers to dial the area code to complete local calls.
The rollout of this area code will begin in mid-2024 and, to prepare, 10-digit dialing will be introduced into the Upstate. The timeline follows:
Sunday’s Super Bowl with 123.4 million average viewers was the most-watched program in television history. From the overtime win for the Kansas City Chiefs, the halftime show evoking nostalgia in Millennials, the calculation of the carbon footprint from Taylor Swift’s jet, and the celebrity-laden ads, there was a lot to take in. We especially noticed one commercial that purported to support female athletes but was silent on the biggest issue regarding girls and sports in the country.
LVIV, Ukraine -- In the heart of Ukraine's war-torn landscape, men maneuver stealthily through the darkness on their way to work, careful to avoid security checkpoints where they would be detained and sent to the front lines of the ongoing war with Russia. Some of them do this to make their way to an office building where they're part of a team working with U.S.-based non-profit RevelationMedia to achieve a monumental mission—animating the entire Biblical Narrative and making it available to translate into over 7,000 living languages.
Here’s some food for thought: There are more than 393 million firearms in the United States.
Americans have been buying in excess of one million guns per month for the last four-plus years.
Our nation also leads the world, by far, in number of firearms owned per 100 civilians.
Yet the United States is not in the top 50 countries in murder rate — and may be outside the top 100.
President Joe Biden wants to remind you that your Super Bowl party was more expensive than it used to be. The reason, he claims, is corporate greed and "shrinkflation." In a social media video before Sunday night's game, he spoke of companies selling "smaller-than-usual products where the price stays the same." He opposes this behavior and is "calling on the big consumer brands to put a stop to it."
That's quite an amazing move. There's a straight line between shrinkflation, inflation and the Biden administration's own fiscal irresponsibility.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- In a shift back to its roots, the Fort Lauderdale-based media outreach, D. James Kennedy Ministries, returns to its original name, Coral Ridge Ministries, as it marks 50 years of ministry in 2024.
Coral Ridge Ministries Board Chair, Mrs. Jennifer Kennedy Cassidy, the daughter of D. James Kennedy, stated: "As we enter our 50th year of ministry, I am thrilled at this change back to the name my father gave this media ministry when he founded it. Just like my father, we are dedicated to proclaiming the gospel, defending freedom, and equipping believers to impact the world for the Kingdom of God. That mission remains rock solid and unchanged."
SAN FRANCISCO -- The pro-trans movement is loud and demanding yet their dark underside is rarely discussed — until now. THE DETRANSITION DIARIES, by Jennifer Lahl and Kallie Fell, gives detransitioners a voice and reveals the horrifying truth about the medical, mental, and physical abuse happening within the trans movement.
THE DETRANSITION DIARIES tells the stories of five women and two men who felt they were born in the wrong body and believed the lie they were told by peers, teachers, and medical professionals that they could be their "true" selves by medically and surgically altering their bodies to match the opposite sex. Their stories describe the short- and long-term harm that so-called gender-affirmative medicine did to their mental and physical health.
Conservative Greenville County Councilman Stan Tzouvelekas will seek the Republican nomination for SC House District 22 his campaign announced today.
Tzouvelekas, an unapologetic fighter for conservative values, made waves on council by challenging special interests, lobbyists, and career politicians.
Over the summer, Tzouvelekas was one of four Councilmen who voted against the largest ever Greenville County tax increase. While fighting the measure, Tzouvelekas forced Council to lower in millage increase, saving taxpayers over $60 million.
Big news—tomorrow, after the SC House of Representatives adjourns, a House Education and Public Works Subcommittee will hold a hearing on SCFC member Josiah Magnuson’s DEI bill.
The bill’s number is H.4290. If passed, it will drastically reduce the negative and divisive impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in our colleges and universities.
DEI (also known as Discrimination, Exclusion, and Indoctrination) is the practice of Marxist critical theory. It is an anti-American ideology that rejects individual responsibility, accomplishment, and merit in favor of socialism and class warfare based on race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion. It also promotes revisionist history and Left-wing activism intent on upending alleged “systemic oppression.”
Taxpayer money should never be used to undermine our values, silence speech, and indoctrinate our youth.
PHILADELPHIA & WASINGTON -- Randall Terry, renowned founder of Operation Rescue, will officially declare his candidacy for President as an Independent candidate on Thursday, February 15, 2024.
Locations: The announcements will take place at 11:00 AM on Independence Mall near 6th and Chestnut Streets in Philadelphia, and at 3:00 PM in Washington, DC across the street from the White House in Lafayette Park at the Lafayette Statue.
Terry is running for president for 2 reasons:
After the recent Democratic Presidential Preference Primary on February 3rd, 2024 the message is loud and clear. Democrats did NOT come out to vote for a candidate on their ticket. In fact, this year’s Democratic PPP resulted in about 4% of registered voters getting to the polls; one of the lowest voter turnouts in recent years.
So, what does this mean for Republicans? Due to the fact that South Carolina is an open primary state, (meaning that voters are not required to register by party and can, therefore, vote in the party primary of their choice) we can expect Democrats to turnout in droves to vote for their “Republican” candidate of choice - former SC Governor, Nikki Haley. This is a desperate attempt to keep President Donald Trump (and his proven record of successful policies) off the General Ticket in November. If Democrats are willing to vote for Haley to attempt undercutting Trump’s opportunity of success, it begs the question, is Nikki the right choice for SC conservatives and our Nation overall? Greenville Patriot Caucus, says “No!” We are proud to endorse President Donald J. Trump for President in 2024.
We've seen some wild things in Columbia, but maybe none as wild as this.
To recap, the SC House passed a decent Constitutional Carry Bill and sent it to the SC Senate last year. The Senate gutted the bill, creating constitutionally questionable classes of gun owners, and exempting legislators from gun laws that our constituents would have to follow.
The SC Freedom Caucus, from the moment the Senate passed their watered-down version, called for the House to amend the bill back to its original form.
President Joe Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and a handful of left-leaning Republicans (led by Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, of course) have just agreed to a near $100 billion foreign aid bill for Israel and Ukraine.
Is the spending addiction so severe that there is NOTHING Congress will not spend and borrow money for?
Not one penny of this aid package is paid for with offsetting spending cuts from a near $6 trillion budget. President Donald Trump has sensibly suggested that the foreign aid funds -- if any -- should be in the form of a loan to be paid back by the recipient countries over time. The Dems wouldn't go for that.
Data shows that winds of political change are blowing among Black voters.
In volatile times like now, predictions can be made with only the greatest caution.
However, it seems clear that something is going on and Black voters are breaking with past voting patterns.
The New York Times reported last November that, per its polling with Siena College, 22% of Black voters in six key battleground states -- Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin -- indicated they would support Republican Donald Trump.
Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a conservative businesswoman and strong ally of President Donald J. Trump, will speak to the Greenville County Republican Women’s luncheon at the Poinsett Club on Feb. 22.
Greene, who represents Northwest Georgia in Congress, will speak to members and guests at noon, said GCRW President Robin Duffie.
“We are honored to have such a stalwart supporter of President Trump speak to Republican women of the Upstate,” Duffie said. “MTG embodies what every conservative believes in in South Carolina – that we need to replace Joe Biden with a President who can make America great again.”
An international global governance group has launched “a global power grab” in its efforts to influence the way the world’s governments respond to global health emergencies — and suppress those who dare to dissent.
A coalition of pro-life, pro-security experts denounced the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Pandemic Agreement, originally proposed as a global treaty, which would require the United States to give 20% of all vaccines and supplies to WHO for global redistribution; calls on governments to “combat” any information that undermines trust in public health authorities; and promotes “equity,” “universal” government health care, and the “OneHealth” doctrine equating human life with animals. The current draft agreement does not allow nations to make reservations or amend the accord. But an unelected body of global bureaucrats can make legally binding changes to its terms once the agreement goes into force.
My dear fellow Americans, recently APC published my article concerning the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) on a local level. Thank you for all the feedback I’ve received. This article will give you a first person account of what happened as a result of practicing citizen activism. Read, share and let’s band together!

A Local’s Experience:
As many of you may know, I make it a point to speak up in my local government as much as I can. Currently, the town of Mooresville, NC is conducting a series of town meetings to invite citizens to weigh in on the latest comprehensive planning efforts. Now, if you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know that I’ve reported Mooresville is in the thick of becoming a UN (United Nations) hub. You also know that I’ve shared how the town has been a pilot for the massive amounts of student data harvesting/tracking; inclusive housing (meaning to create housing for workforce), and other items which fit right into the CCSS Machine. However, Mooresville is hardly alone in its efforts to become a cookie cutter hotbed of conformity.
