Greenville Family Partnership Is No More!
- Details
- By Carol Reeves
Greenville County, SC – Greenville Family Partnership will no longer be Greenville Family Partnership as of October 1st. No reason to be sad though, because we have a new and improved name that we believe sums up perfectly what we strive to get youth, parents, and communities to do on a daily basis. At Greenville Family Partnership, we believe our name is more important than ever because more than 72,000 Americans died from a drug overdose in 2017, including illicit drugs and prescription opioids—a 2-fold increase in a decade.

The Failed Budget Continues to Move

- By Tabitha Walter - Eagle Forum
While everyone is distracted by the Democrat obstruction of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the Senate has passed a spending bill strangely similar to the last Omnibus, but by another name. Leadership is calling this bill a “minibus” with a continuing resolution (CR) attached. The minibus includes bills to fund Labor, Health and Human Services, the Department of Defense, the Department of Education. The CR would fund the remaining departments through December 7.

By the end of his second term, President Ronald Reagan, who had called the Soviet Union an "evil empire," was strolling through Red Square with Russians slapping him on the back.

California Governor Signs Law Allowing People to 'Aid, Advise, and Encourage' Suicide
- Details
- By Christian Newswire
NAPA, Calif. -- California governor Jerry Brown signed into law yesterday a bill (SB 282) that allows any person to "aid, advise, and encourage" suicide under the state's assisted suicide law. Until now, these actions were felonies, as the state had a longstanding policy to protect people from self-harm.
The bill was introduced in the wake of Life Legal's challenge to California's End of Life Option Act. We have said from the outset that physician-assisted suicide is only the beginning. California is following other forced death jurisdictions like Canada, Belgium, and the Netherlands, which garnered support for assisted suicide before legalizing voluntary and involuntary euthanasia.
Project Veritas Catches Deep State Redhanded
- Details
- By David Limbaugh
We've long known that unelected leftist bureaucrats embedded in the bowels of the federal government have been lawlessly targeting conservatives and abusing their power to thwart the agenda of duly elected Republican policymakers. The proof keeps pouring in.
The Obama administration's IRS deliberately discriminated against conservative groups in their applications for tax-exempt status. This isn't an empty partisan allegation from an imaginary "right-wing conspiracy." In 2013, an IRS official admitted scrutinizing groups with right wing identifying names, such as "Tea Party" and "patriots." An inspector general's report that year confirmed this nefarious practice.

Trump's Beast in the Night
- Details
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
If you have been following the serious destruction brought about by Hurricane Florence in North Carolina and the political turmoil caused by the allegations of teenage sexual misconduct made by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, along with his firm and unbending denials, you might have missed a profound event in a federal courtroom in the nation's capital late last week.
The Florence damage may take years to repair, and the Kavanaugh nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, which once seemed assured, at this writing is in a sort of limbo, pending an Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas-like confrontation before the Senate Judiciary Committee next week. But when Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's one-time campaign chair, entered a guilty plea in federal court last week, it created the potential for a political earthquake.

Socialists Determined to take over USA
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Socialist Democrats in control of the Democrat Party are determined to take over the government of the United States even if it means destruction of the constitution and the republic. We have about six weeks to stop the takeover. The November congressional election is our last chance to stop the illegal takeover by whatever means they choose.
The so-called Democrats are willing to lie, falsely accuse innocent people and destroy anyone who is affiliated with President Trump by whatever means they can contrive. Their latest caper is to destroy Trpump’s Supreme Court nominee by accusing him of molesting a girl when he was in high school. It was more than 30 years ago when he was a teenager if it happened at all. This should not be a consideration at this time when considering his qualifications for the court.
'Believe Women' Is Perilous Baloney

- By Michelle Malkin
I have a message for virtue-signaling men who've rushed to embrace #MeToo operatives hurling uncorroborated sexual assault allegations into the chaotic court of public opinion.
Stuff it.
Your blanket "Believe Women" bloviations are moral and intellectual abominations that insult every human being of sound mind and soul.
A certain class of never Trump-harumphers are leading the charge on behalf of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's memory-addled partisan accuser Christine Blasey Ford -- who cannot recall the year she was allegedly traumatized, where it happened, who threw the party that paralyzed her for nearly four decades, how many were in attendance during her claimed assault, how she got there or how she left.
Our Voter ID Problem is Leftists Democrats, not Russia

Our Voter ID laws simply require voters to show valid photo identification in order to cast a ballot; but Eric Holder and his fellow leftists ‘Democrats’ think that’s ‘too burdensome’ for voters — even though this is the same basic requirement needed to board an airplane, cash a check; drivers license, etc.

Invitation to Sign Letter Opposing Persecution
- Details
- By Christian Newswire
MIDLAND, Texa, -- Recently, an unprecedented letter, signed by nearly 400 Chinese church leaders who risked everything, including their freedoms, their churches, and their lives, was released. Called A Declaration for the Sake of the Christian Faith, it openly condemns the Chinese government's persecution of Christians and reiterates an obligation to continue teaching the Bible regardless of government oppression. Later, Wheaton College's Dean of the School of Mission, Ministry, and Leadership, Ed Stetzer, wrote an article in Christianity Today, emphasizing the need of international Christians not to neglect the sufferings of Chinese believers.
Standing in firm agreement with these sentiments, overseas Chinese Christians wrote the letter below to vocalize their support of those persecuted by the Chinese state, and now they extend the invitation to sign to church leaders worldwide. If you work with a church or Christian organization, please take a quick moment to read over and sign this statement:

Dear Mr. President,
United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE), a nationwide grassroots organization of parents and education advocates regularly conveys concerns to you and other elected officials about the negative effect of Federal government intrusion in education.
USPIE calls for Congress to abide by the Constitutional structure for education, for the elimination of the U.S. Department of Education, for ending all Federal education programs, and for returning the control of education to parents and local communities. USPIE developed a Blueprint based on references from CATO Institute and The Independent Institute to provide clear reasons and steps to achieving these goals. The Blueprint has been shared extensively with elected officials in Washington D.C.
Evolution and the Great Woodpecker War of 1981

- By Mike Scruggs
Part of a Series on Intelligent Design
My experience with woodpeckers has taught me that Darwinist evolution is bunk.
A few months before Ronald Reagan was first elected president in 1980, my wife and I purchased a newly built, two-story home in a wooded area of Cary, North Carolina. Energy conservation was all the rage, so we were happy with its rustic, utility-bill-reducing, cedar siding. The first warm days of spring are said to be the season for beginning war, and so it was. I took my wife and two boys on a short vacation to Gatlinburg in April of 1981. When we returned, we found that war had been declared.

Dear Friends,
Last Spring, you heard my announcement that God has me on a new journey called retirement, starting in a few months. My husband and I are excited to see how God will use us in this next season of our lives.
