PSC Election Delayed Again; Public Comment Chilled Under State Law
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
S.C. lawmakers have once again delayed filling a $107,822 seat on the state Public Service Commission, which routinely approved electric rate hikes for the failed V.C. Summer nuclear project.
A screening hearing for PSC Seat 2, which was supposed to have been held Monday of this week, was postponed, according to a release from the legislatively controlled State Regulation of Public Utilities Review Committee (PURC), which nominates PSC candidates for election in the Legislature and largely controls the regulation of utilities in South Carolina.
Call the Vote on Kavanaugh
- Details
- By John & Andy Schlafly

Delaying the Senate vote has not helped anyone except those smearing the good man nominated to the Supreme Court. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell seems to have lost his way in supporting delay after delay on an up-or-down vote for Brett Kavanaugh.
McConnell promised that Kavanaugh will be confirmed, but his strategy has kicked away Democrats who might have supported the nominee. By giving a platform to Kavanaugh’s accusers, McConnell has merely provided political cover for every Democrat in the chamber, such as Claire McCaskill who is in a tight race in Missouri.

They Want to Lynch Judge Kavanaugh
- Details
- By Alveda King
Congressional Opponents and some of their allies in the media have adopted an unprecedented standard of guilty until proven innocent to use thin and unsubstantiated claims to smear Judge Kavanaugh who POTUS has nominated for our next Supreme Court Justice.
With blatant disregard for the health of America, women and children in particular, the anti-life contingent continues to peddle violence under the guise of a false narrative for justice by "resisting" the appointment of Judge Kavanaugh to SCOTUS.
Nepotism in Pickens?

- By Johnnelle Raines - Pickens, SC
Conservatives of the Upstate, a local Pickens County grassroots group whose mission is to bring together like-minded conservatives to take action recently had several sources who contacted us with concerns of nepotism taking place in Pickens County.

Is This Any Way to Confirm a Supreme Court Justice?
- Details
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
Until two weeks ago, President Donald Trump's nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court seemed a sure thing. He ably handled more than 1,200 questions put to him by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He demonstrated even to his adversaries a masterful command of constitutional jurisprudence. The FBI had completed six background investigations of Kavanaugh throughout his career in government, and it found no blemishes.
Trump promised that he would appoint federal judges and justices who generally share his views on life, guns and administrative regulations and who have a minimalistic view of federal power. When he announced the Kavanaugh nomination, it appeared he had found his man.

Spiritual Nudist
- Details
- By Ben Graydon
When Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden and ate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, they went and hid. They made themselves coverings of fig leaves to hide their nakedness. The habit continues today – people covering their weaknesses, their failures, their shortfalls, their embarrassments, their insecurities with fig leaves.
A church needs a leader without fig leaves – one who will be for them the model of a spiritual nudist. Unfortunately, that model is not standard. What most see is a very polished, very covered up artificial contrivance. Consider:

Stop Google's Kiddie Data Predators

No consent. No disclosure. No escape.
For legions of unwitting students and teachers across the country, this is the dangerous, de facto data policy Google has imposed over their school districts. An estimated 80 million students and teachers are now signed up for free "G Suite for Education" accounts (formerly known as Google Apps for Education); more than 25 million students and teachers now use Google Chromebooks. A Google logon is the key to accessing homework, quizzes, tests, group discussions, presentations, spreadsheets and other "seamless communication." Without it, students and teachers are locked out of their own virtual classrooms.

The Huge Stakes of Thursday's Confrontations
- Details
- By Pat Buchanan
Thursday is shaping up to be the Trump presidency's "Gunfight at O.K. Corral."
That day, the fates of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and much else, may be decided.
The New York Times report that Rosenstein, sarcastically or seriously in May 2017, talked of wearing a wire into the Oval Office to entrap the president, suggests that his survival into the new year is improbable.
Whether Thursday is the day President Donald Trump drops the hammer is unknown.
Whisper, Talk, and Shout, and Sing ... These Are the Ways We Use Our Voices
- Details
- By Washington Center

Students in Mrs. Julie Dail’s Washington Center music classes have been learning how to use their voices in 4 different ways and/or to recognize these sounds in the voices of others around them.
Students began their learning by singing and moving to a song, “Whisper, Talk, and Shout, and Sing.” As the Quavermusic song played, the teacher modeled sign language for each of the 4 voices and encouraged students to do the same. Later, students participated in an activity that helped them match teacher-made speech symbols of the sounds to the correct voice recorded on the voice output device.

"Global Warming Skepticism for Busy People"
- Details
- By Scott Crosby
I just finished reading the book, "Global Warming Skepticism for Busy People" ... https://www.amazon.com/Global-Warming-Skepticism-Busy-People-ebook/dp/B07H57WVYJ ... and I highly recommend it.
Written by a climatologist who has a doctorate in that field, this book explores the (lack of) science and the lack of scientific consensus (claims to the contrary not withstanding), as well as what the real science says. This is a Kindle book, and as much as I prefer "real" books, being a Kindle book has two huge benefits: the author can and does update it as new information becomes available, and instead of footnotes and a bibliography, he provides links to research and other evidence.

Some of My Favorite Things

- By W.H. Lamb
A couple of years ago, for the old print version of The Times Examiner, I wrote a version of this article. I read it again recently and it gave me a few chuckles. In this time of stress and demands for “societal change”, perhaps you’ll get a few much needed laughs to brighten your day, if only for an instant or two. Many of us recall, with lots of nostalgia and fondness, that great musical film, “The Sound of Music.” We saw it in Charlotte, N.C. for the very first time in 1966, and I confess we were delighted by the wonderful music and songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein, and the interesting script, based only VERY loosely on the real history of the Von Trapp Family Singers of Austria, prior to WW11.
