Climate Gathering Agrees On 1 Trillion Dollar Deal After Tensions
- Details
- By Stefan J. Bos - Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
BAKU/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – Delegates of rich and poor countries concluded a trillion-dollar deal on what they view as “a climate crisis” on Sunday after marathon talks at a climate gathering in Baku, Azerbaijan. The negotiations were overshadowed by mounting tensions, with India among those opposing the accord.
After some 11 long days of often tense negotiations, the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP29, concluded with a deal that campaigners said was a “betrayal” of the developing world.
Under the accord, the developing world should receive at least $1.3 trillion a year in funds to help it shift to a low-carbon economy. The money will also help it set up infrastructure to cope with the impacts of extreme weather by 2035.
Irrelevance of Democratic Party Policy Influencers
- Details
- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
At the outset it must be candidly acknowledged that there are those in America that sincerely, for whatever reason, identify with the policies of the Democratic Party. The same must be said of those that sincerely, for whatever reasons, identify with the policies of the Republican Party. There does not seem, in recent history, that such a diametrically opposed vision for America presented itself as in the last national election. The battle, it seems, is for the mind of the individual and how to sway it to your vision. What arguments advanced had credibility and relevance to most Americans?
Biden-Harris' Latest Attack on Religious Liberty
- Details
- By Bill Donohue - President, Catholic League
As we have previously pointed out, the Biden-Harris administration is the most anti-Catholic in American history. Although their days are numbered, they are still trying to stick it to Catholics.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a proposed regulation last month that, if it is approved, would discriminate against Catholic entities across the nation. In order to receive a HHS contract, every entity would have to agree not to discriminate on the basis of gender identity, among other demographic categories. There are no religious exemptions afforded.
An Open Letter to Vladimir Putin and the Russian People - Revisited
- Details
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
[This piece, originally published in June of last year, could not be more relevant now, in the extremely dangerous lame-duck period of the usurpatory Biden administration. Provocations against Russia by that administration have now brought us to the brink of a nuclear WWIII. Those provocations have prompted thoughtful men to ask if provoking such a war could be a wild and desperate DEM plan and hope, via a declaration of emergency executive powers, to avoid a second Trump presidency.]
As a private American citizen, I write on behalf of patriotic Americans who desire - not war and death - but lasting peace and open trade and friendship with the Russian people and their government.
I write to you over the heads of the current American regime, which is unelected and illegitimate and lawless and warmongering and ideologically mad.
Benton Blount's Cliff Notes: The Unified Development Ordinance
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Greenville County Councilman, District 19
A constituent recently suggested creating “cliff notes” to make the UDO more digestible. Another example that our citizens are the true experts!
Challenge accepted!
This is my attempt to break down the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) into bite-sized, easy-to-understand pieces. Think of this as your cheat sheet for one of the most impactful (and in my opinion controversial) decisions facing Greenville County.
Below, I’ll outline what the UDO claims to achieve, then discuss my concerns about its potential pitfalls, and also share actionable steps you can take to make your voice heard if you find it concerning as well!
Pro-Life Leaders Praise ‘Beautiful’ Plan for DOGE to Defund Planned Parenthood

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s plans to protect taxpayers from wasteful spending will take a scalpel to Planned Parenthood funding, reasserting Americans’ financial autonomy by removing federal funds from the nation’s largest abortion chain.
The pair outlined their vision for the forthcoming Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, specifically underscoring plans to enact a host of policies long supported by pro-life advocates and government efficiency experts alike.
Russia Fires New Missile Into Ukraine, Worrying Europe
- Details
- By Stefan J. Bos - Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
MOSCOW/KYIV/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed Thursday his military fired “a new intermediate-range missile” into Ukraine in response to Kyiv firing American and British long-range missiles.
Earlier, Kyiv had claimed that Russia launched an “intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM)” toward Ukraine, apparently referring to the new weapon that could carry nuclear warheads.
Although U.S. officials claimed Russia had only “a few” of the newer missiles mentioned by Putin, it marked a significant escalation of an armed conflict in which hundreds of thousands of soldiers are believed to have been killed.
Reject Dr. Simmer's Appointment as Head of South Carolina’s New Public Health Agency
- Details
- By SC Freedom Caucus
The people of South Carolina have spoken clearly: they want leaders who reflect their values, protect their freedoms, and prioritize evidence-based policies over political ideologies. Yet, the appointment of Dr. Edward Simmer to lead the newly created Department of Public Health signals a continuation of the troubling trajectory established under his tenure as head of the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC).
In 2024, the legislature split DHEC into two agencies—the Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of Public Health—to address concerns over inefficiency, lack of accountability, and overreach. However, appointing Dr. Simmer to lead the Department of Public Health ensures that the same failed policies of DHEC will continue to plague South Carolina.

MURRIETA, Calif. -- Two high school female athletes and their families have filed a federal lawsuit against the Riverside Unified School District (RUSD) and school officials at Martin Luther King High School, alleging violations of their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights as well as Title IX protections. The plaintiffs, K.S., a ninth-grade cross-country athlete, and T.S., an eleventh-grade cross-country athlete and team captain, contend that RUSD's policies unfairly restrict their freedom of expression and deny them fair and equal access to athletic opportunities.

Trump Will Make Families Safe Again
President-elect Donald Trump has boldly proclaimed his plans for his first 100 days in office. In fact, last year, he made videos announcing his Agenda 47 initiatives which he reiterated over and over on the campaign trail. Trump outlined a conservative vision in stark contrast to the radical stances of the Harris-Walz campaign that caused them to lose the election. Now, with Republicans leading these efforts in the House, Senate, and White House, we can bring some sanity back to our nation.
Needing Leaders More Than Almost Ever
- Details
- By Lyle Rapacki, Ph.D
We are facing a time of great change and uncertainty in our nation; so much so that the very fabric of our beloved country stands the chance of unraveling. One reason for concern is the lack of true leadership throughout the strata of our country – from local arenas to boardrooms, from the halls of capitals to the halls of education, a vacuum now stands where once the giant leaders of our society kept vigil.
We are experiencing a generation coming of age that was raised on materialism and selfish gain. These folks are positioning themselves at a time in their lives when they will be assuming the mantels of leadership. What follows them (and already evident) is their personal philosophy of leadership. What we may very well be receiving from them is a form of leadership that historically contributes to the unraveling of a society’s fabric.
Citizens Can Now See Salaries of Higher-Paid SC Judges
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
The S.C. Supreme Court’s new chief justice has reversed the court system’s longstanding policy of keeping secret the salaries of higher-paid judges and department employees – years after The Nerve’s reporting on the issue.
The $200,000-plus salaries of state appellate, circuit and family court judges, as well as court staff making at least $50,000 annually, are now included in the state salary database, which is maintained by the S.C. Department of Administration. The move occurred after The Nerve in late July submitted a formal request under the state’s open-records law for the salaries.

Young, Black, Hispanic Americans Would Opt Out of Social Security Even If It Wasn't Broken

- By Star Parker
I pull the following directly from the summary of the 2024 annual reports of the Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees:
"The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund (that is, Social Security) will be able to pay 100 percent of total scheduled benefits until 2033, unchanged from last year's report. At that time, the fund's reserves will become depleted and continuing program income will be sufficient to pay 79 percent of scheduled benefits."
Our Social Security system is broke.
South Carolina Poised to Oppose RFK Jr’s Health Policy with New Appointment
- Details
- By Palmetto State Watch
On Tuesday, November 19th, 2024, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster appointed Dr. Simmer (the previous head of the DHEC) as the Department of Public Health director. This appointment came after the recent split of Department of Health and Environmental Control into two agencies due to Act 60 that became effective July 1st, 2024.
This appointment came as a shock to South Carolinians since many legislators tried to convince the public that they needed to pass the Executive Office of Health Policy legislation, also known as the Health Czar bill (S.915/H.4927) so Governor Henry McMaster could hold appointed health officials “accountable” and remove bad actors like Dr. Simmer. Check out this audio between one of the authors of the bill, Senator Tom Davis, and our co-founder Janis Price at Palmetto State Watch’s fundraiser on April 27, 2024. In this audio, Senator Davis states that the reason they split the two departments (Act 60) was to hold Dr. Simmer accountable since he “was a Health Czar” during COVID-19 pandemic. However, it seems McMaster sees nothing wrong with Dr. Simmer and unconstitutional use of power as DHEC director during the pandemic.
Are Atavisms Evidence for Universal Common Descent Evolution?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
An atavism is defined as the recurrence of an ancestral trait that has been missing for generations. They usually result from genetic recombination. They are claimed as evidence for universal common descent evolution however sometimes the labeling of such a trait as an atavism is based on the presupposition of universal common descent. This makes the argument a form of circular reasoning.
Two main types of features tend to fall under this category. The first is an actual reproduction of the feature in question, even if it is not fully functional, and one that may resemble something considered by evolutionists to be from the past but it is simply a malformation in the particular organism.

GFA World launches Christmas Critter Campaign and 'chicken challenge' with 'im-peck-able' holiday timing
WILLS POINT, Texas -- A U.S. faith-based organization has hatched an "eggs-traordinary" challenge to help fight global poverty and hunger.
GFA World's "chicken challenge" is part of its annual Christmas Critter Campaign that aims to "rescue families from poverty and show them Christ's love."
"This is not a one-time hand-out," said Bishop Daniel, the organization's president. "Providing a pair of chickens can assist a family out of the cycle of poverty. It impacts not only the family, but the entire community in a positive way, and helps the kids to be healthier.
Breaking Up Google Will Be a Great American Catastrophe

- By Stephen Moore
Earlier this year, in one of the most absurd court rulings in modern times, federal judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google violated U.S. antitrust law by gaining a monopoly in the search engine markets.
In the days or weeks ahead, the courts will decide whether to break up one of America's most iconic companies or to sell off some of its activities and products. The latest reports are that the courts may require Google to sell off its popular Chrome browser. (To whom? China?) It may also require Google to surrender other products to help erase its market lead.

Christian Woman: Keep Silent in Church – Some Further Reflections
- Details
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
[The following is my rebuttal, in defense of Holy Scripture, to egalitarian remarks from a young pastor directed at my earlier piece titled "Christian Woman: Keep Silent in Church." This pastor had cited the verses of 1 Corinthians Chapters 11 and 14, on women publicly and vocally praying and prophesying, as being in tension and, even, contradictory.]
The Apostle Paul, as fully inspired by the Holy Spirit in his letters, does not and indeed cannot contradict himself. Any who are inclined to think so are merely showing, by their own eo ipso false interpretation of Scripture, how deeply the egalitarian heresy is embedded in modern thinking, and in modern churches. (The most prevalent and crippling heresy among Christians these days is the egalitarian heresy, which flouts Divinely-ordained hierarchy and subordination, followed closely by the Arminian nonsense, which denies election and God's sovereignty.)
Abolishing Dept. of Education Will Be ‘Tremendous for our States’: State Education Official
- Details
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
Some officials wait in trepidation to find out if President-elect Donald Trump will follow through with his campaign promise to abolish the Department of Education. Some wait with glee.
In an online video posted last July, then-candidate Trump promised that, if elected, “very early in the administration” he would begin “closing up the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., and sending all education and education work and needs back to the states. We want them to run the education of our children, because they’ll do a much better job of it. You can’t do worse.”
Trump and the Russian View of Victory in Ukraine

Hard Truths Spelled Out by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov
On November 14, in Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was interviewed by Russian reporter Marina Kim for the New World Project, a Russian organization formed to educate young Russians on the economic, social, cultural and political nature of the nations of the world and the formal and informal rules of their interaction.
For more than a decade, the vast majority of Americans and Western Europeans have heard nothing but Ukrainian government, US government, and captive US and Western media propaganda on Russia, Ukraine, and especially the Ukraine War. There is no field of competition—business, sports, military, international trade, foreign policy, or any other endeavor where ignorance is a competitive advantage. The Bible, Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, and scores of others advise that accurate knowledge of competitors and your own capabilities are essential for success. In war, the sure way of tragedy is to underestimate your enemies and embrace self-deceived over-confidence in your own capabilities. In international relations, the only real success is long-term peace. Winning wars may be necessary to achieve peace, but wise leaders know that long-term stability and peace, which bring security and prosperity, are the real goal.

A SERMON (OF SORTS)
Our world can be a strange place at times, and no more strange than in our application of God’s Holy Word to both our national affairs and our daily lives. So, let’s begin this investigation by reviewing the quote from the title to this article, found in PSALM 33:12:
“Blessed is that nation, whose God is the Lord, even the people that he hath chosen for His inheritance.” - 1599 Geneva Bible
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.” - 1611 King James Bible

Provide Your Opinion on Biden-Mandated Contraception Coverage
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
A handful of agencies are forging ahead with a Biden-Harris-led initiative to fund contraception, including abortifacients, with our taxpayer money.
In January of this year, President Joe Biden issued guidance to a slew of agencies to require full insurance coverage for contraceptives. Months later, the Health Resources and Services Administration recommended that “women have access to a full range of contraceptives and contraceptive care” which includes sterilization for both women and men, intrauterine devices, oral and injectable contraceptives, external contraceptives such as condoms, and “emergency” contraception such as Plan B. Additionally, they give themselves a blank check to cover “any additional contraceptives approved, cleared, or granted by the FDA.”
The Moderates Strike Back

House Leadership spent millions of dollars in the past two years attempting to defeat members of the Freedom Caucus. In every single instance, House Leadership lost, and the Freedom Caucus won. The same House leadership that gave away billions of our tax dollars to woke corporations to build electric trucks and hundreds of thousands of dollars for Orangutans and football podcasts just did something even more audacious.
Despite their negative campaign, the Freedom Caucus recently extended an olive branch in good faith to the House leadership in order to work together to advance conservative policy in the state. We suspected that SC House leadership would dig in their heels on the loyalty pledge that they implemented into the last session’s caucus rules, but they have done more than that…they've escalated.
