Rural Transportation Bill Easily Passes S.C. House; Senate Fate Uncertain

- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
On a recent Monday, David Crawford says he gave a ride in his Edisto Island Shuttle van to three young women who informed him that they initially had requested an Uber to take them off the island, but that the driver canceled two minutes before their scheduled pickup.
“They came down for a break,” Crawford, who has owned the local transportation company for more than 10 years, said when contacted by The Nerve. “That’s done routinely, just a fun little family trip.”
As Crawford first told The Nerve for a story last July, he believes there is a lack of private transportation companies in rural areas statewide. The Nerve in September revealed, based on a review of state records, that if you want a ride from a “transportation network company,” such as Uber or Lyft, it likely will be hard to do so in at least 100 small towns or cities, as well as in three rural counties, in South Carolina.

Propaganda Journalism
A March 27 Bloomberg News article featured this headline: Russians’ Trust in Putin Hits Wartime Low as Fatigue Grows
Here are the three main takeaways in the Bloomberg article:
“Trust in Russian President fell to its lowest since before the start of the invasion of Ukraine, due to a slowing economy and deepening war fatigue.”
“The share of people saying they trust in Putin slipped to 75% and his job performance stood at 70.1%, the weakest for both indicators since February 20, 2022.” [4 days before the Russian intrusion began.]
“A separate survey [independent Lavada Center] showed that 67% of those polled say the country should move toward peace negotiations, as public fatigue and economic pressures intensify amid the war’s fifth year.”
The title and major takeaways of the Bloomberg article seem extremely misleading considering that no other European leader has an approval rating anywhere near 75%. Moreover, Russia’s economic position is quite strong compared to its debt-ridden Western economic competitors.

Smarter and Better People: Aristotle, James Henley Thornwell, and the Moral-Intellectual Nexus
- Details
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
In our modern egalitarian world, there is a widespread assumption that moral goodness and intelligence are completely separate, unrelated, and unconnected things.
We have all encountered good and kindhearted folk who are more modestly blessed with intelligence. And certainly, we have all encountered clever people who are dishonest, mean, and conniving. Indeed, in our popular culture, we hear far more about fictional evil geniuses like Darth Sidious, Hannibal Lecter, and Lex Luthor, and about real-life serial killers long successful in evading the law, than about men who possess both great intelligence and great goodness. And this is true, in part, because there is more general agreement about what is evil than about what is good — but not a great deal more.

Documentary Film ‘Unmistaken’ Premiered Worldwide on March 27, 2026
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — How does a state champion gymnast survive parental neglect, eating disorders, trauma from a sex offender, chronic illness, brain surgeries, and devastating family deaths — and still believe God is good? That is the heart of the film Unmistaken produced by the award-winning nonprofit Lifestreams Media, and premiered worldwide free on YouTube, March 27 at 10:00 AM ET.
Directed and produced by Chris Lang and distributed by Vision Video, Unmistaken follows Michelle Schaefer through trials that echo a modern-day Job — from the heights of athletic achievement to seasons of profound suffering. She is a portrait of a woman who clung to her faith when everything around her crumbled — and found a God who meets us right where we are, even on the bathroom floor.
“When I first asked Michelle if we could produce her life story, she replied: ‘No one would believe me if I told them!'” said Chris Lang, founder of Lifestreams Media. “But then I saw the evidence, interviewed her family and friends, and I knew that it would speak to the age-old problem of pain and suffering. We hope that Unmistaken will encourage viewers to consider God’s promise that He will work all things for their good.”
Blood Fills the Streets Of America

I’d like to begin today by reading a bit from Matthew 24. Jesus was on the Mount of Olives and He was explaining to His disciples about the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. That particular event came to pass in 70 AD, and many Bible scholars will tell you that all of Matthew 24 took place at that time.
But the disciples asked a follow-up question: “What shall be the sign of Thy coming and of the end of the world?” Obviously, the end of the world didn’t come in 70 AD when the temple was destroyed, so what Jesus said next, I believe, relates to the very last days, or as Scripture says, “the end of the world.” Jesus’ second coming. Let’s read together, verses 4-12:
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, ‘Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Communitarianism: The Evil Unleashed on America Part 1 - The Tool of Government to Steal America from the People
- Details
- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center
What we are seeing all over the country is governments – national, state, and even local – using the native Indian reservations as tools to destroy, not only property rights, but also shut down dams, and make the properties useless. All this so the government leaders can take the land back once functioning humanity is no longer there. (And, yes, they are using so many more tools but for several more articles, I want to focus on how, first our federal government began the demolition of property rights via pretending to assist tribes in making themselves secure and thriving like the rest of America.

County Chairman Blount outlines growth challenges, while Attorney General candidate Pascoe explains his path from Republican to Democrat and back again, and Rep. Burns calls for closing primaries
GREENVILLE COUNTY, SC — The latest Back-to-Basics Breakfast, hosted by the Palmetto Conservative Fund, served up a multi-layered look at the current state of governance in Greenville County and beyond, as local leadership, statewide candidates, and engaged citizens worked through a wide range of issues in real time. The format, which blends prepared remarks with open questioning, revealed not only policy priorities but also the underlying tensions that come with rapid growth, shifting political alignments, and competing expectations between government and the public.
Blount Serves Up County Realities and Growth Pressures
Greenville County Council Chairman Benton Blount opened the discussion by grounding the audience in the practical realities of county government. His remarks reflected both an effort to communicate recent accomplishments and an acknowledgment that many residents remain frustrated or confused about how county decisions affect their daily lives. Thanking the organizers and attendees, Blount emphasized the purpose of the event itself.
“This is a great event… I think it’s a great way to plug the public into what’s going on at all levels of government.”
Residency Lawsuit Against Greenville Councilman Ennis Fant Expands into Criminal Review Dispute

Ongoing litigation now involves a SLED investigation, prosecutorial review, and state-level involvement
A March 25 hearing in Greenville County Court of Common Pleas brought the residency dispute involving Councilman Ennis Fant into sharper focus, as attorneys presented a series of motions tied to both the underlying claim and access to evidence.
According to information from those present in the courtroom, the hearing involved as many as nine separate motions that were argued between the plaintiff and multiple defendants, including Fant. The volume of motions reflects how the case has expanded beyond a single residency question into a broader legal contest over evidence, procedure, and the scope of the court’s review.
Arguments during the hearing addressed disputes over discovery, including efforts to obtain materials connected to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division investigation into Fant’s residency, as well as records the plaintiff contends would help establish where Fant resides. Those records include bank documents, utility records, and information from the South Carolina Department of Revenue. Attorneys argued that some of those materials, including records reviewed by prosecutors, had not been produced, placing access to key evidence at the center of the dispute as the case moves forward.

The Danger in Boasting of “Chariots and Horses”
Augustine of Hippo (354-430) was a North African (Algerian) Bishop of Hippo Regius during the latter years of the Roman Empire. He was a theologian and philosopher whose prolific writings profoundly shaped Western Christianity and philosophy. He was influenced by Bishop Ambrose of Millan and the writings of Roman Senator Cicero (106 to 43 BC) but was the first to elaborate rigorous criteria for a just war and just conduct in war and policing appropriate for Christian participation without any reservation or shame.
Augustine outlined three main criteria for a just war: It must be initiated by properly constituted authority; it must be for a just cause; and it must be conducted by just means. In the United States, the properly constituted authority is established by the U.S. Constitution as Congress. Properly constituted authorities must decide these issues on behalf of the citizens. Augustine emphasized that these authorities are also ultimately accountable to God and therefore the teaching of Scripture. Thomas Acquinas (1225-1274) and many others since have attempted to flesh out a more comprehensive Just War Theory, but the tragedy of war always generates many ethical loose ends.
The Statue of Liberty Asks: What Have You Done to America?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Before I begin this plunge into the heart of corrupted liberal dogma, let me state for the record that I am not against a degree of legal, restricted, and needful immigration, because Americans are dangerously below their replacement level of new births of legal American citizens. The vast majority of Americans living today had ancestors who emigrated from some other country and into the U.S. in the past. I am one of them, for both my maternal grandfather and grandmother came, LEGALLY, from the country of Croatia well over a hundred years ago (in the early 1900’s), and I’m grateful that they did. America has been peopled by, and generally benefited from, immigrants who came here from mostly European countries (with some exceptions) over much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, after which time almost all immigration was halted by the U.S. government (in 1924) for a time.

TUCSON, Az. — The U.S. District Court in Arizona ruled former ethics Professor Daniel Grossenbach can proceed with his religious discrimination lawsuit against the University of Arizona, which unlawfully fired him for his parental rights advocacy and religious speech. Grossenbach’s lawsuit contends that the university did not renew his contract in November 2023 after receiving anonymous complaints about his advocacy against secretive gender policies at local school board meetings where his children attend school, which is not at all affiliated with the university.
The Art of The Deal

Historically Donald Trump comes into a challenge and changes all to create an economic success for those participating. The odious leverage Iran had influenced the world’s economy via oil supplements through the Strait of Hormuz is over! Iran can no longer dictate passage and costs through Hormuz or dictate the price of oil. Approximately 25% of the world’s oil flows through the two-mile stretch at the Strait. When Iran either closed or threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz the cost of oil climbed incredibly internationally, and the spike would be felt from major industry down to the local gas pump.
As in all transactions, Trump, once Iran is settled and no longer the “school yard bully” the Strait of Hormuz will be secure and coordinated by a coalition of allied nations which will also have a sophisticated security force to keep the Straight open and profitable across the globe.
Is Atheism a Religion?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One of the arguments frequently used against creation science is that it is just religion. One common answer to this is that the entire Big Bang to man story is just as religious because it is fundamentally atheistic. The response to this is that atheism is not a religion; therefore, the claim is wrong.
Before going on, it is important to note that the reason for stating that the Big Bang-to-man story is fundamentally atheistic is that it is fundamentally based on philosophical naturalism. Philosophical naturalism is fundamentally atheistic, as it holds that material reality is all there is. This means that any theory that is based on philosophical naturalism is itself fundamentally atheistic.

Arizona’s Hidden Red Flag Law? Courts Accused of Secret Gun Confiscation Scheme

What if your rights could be taken… without a law ever being passed?
In this explosive interview, Kathleen Marquart sits down with Arizona activist Mike Palmer to uncover what he claims is a hidden red flag system operating through court rules—not legislation. Palmer argues that judges are bypassing lawmakers, using civil procedures to strip citizens of their firearms without due process or criminal charges.
From ex parte hearings and low evidentiary standards to real-world cases of alleged abuse, this conversation dives deep into how “red flag laws” may already exist where officials say they don’t—and what that could mean for property rights, constitutional protections, and the future of the Second Amendment.
Beware the Fake News — On Both Sides

- By Rob Pue - Wisconsin Christian News
I was recently contacted by one of our readers of Wisconsin Christian News, and asked to report on the devastation of families caused by fake news. Specifically, regarding “Q Anon.” This man told me about a family that he and his wife were close to, that was torn apart because the wife followed Q Anon posts “religiously,” watching videos of “Q” from the moment she got up in the morning until bedtime, and even following “Q” videos with headphones while in bed.
Initially, I admit, I found this hard to believe, as I was pretty sure that “Q” had been entirely debunked and lost all it’s followers after the 2020 election. In fact, by 2021, most of the social media platforms had removed “Q” completely. So, I didn’t know it was even still a “thing.”

Attorney General candidates outline sharply different priorities
PICKENS COUNTY — Republican candidates for South Carolina Attorney General offered contrasting visions for the state’s top legal office during a debate in Pickens County, with discussions ranging from violent crime and child protection to government overreach, corruption, and the limits of prosecutorial authority.
The forum featured candidates including David Stumbo, David Pascoe, and Stephen Goldfinch, who fielded questions on law enforcement strategy, federal and state relations, and their qualifications to serve as the state’s chief prosecutor and legal officer.
While candidates aligned on several core Republican positions, the debate revealed meaningful differences in how each would approach and execute the responsibilities of the office.

The Need for Facts and Biblical Clarity in the Iran War
Amalek is listed as a grandson of Esau in the book of Genesis. The Amalekites were first noted in the book of Exodus for their unprovoked ambushes and attacks against the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt. The first century Roman general and Jewish scholar and historian Josephus refers to Amalek as one born of an incestuous or forbidden relationship. The Amalekites were a semi-nomadic people located on the southern edge of Canaan in an area called Kadesh near the Negeb Desert and the Sinai Peninsula. They became the perennial enemy of Israel, and because they declared constant war against Israel became an enemy of God. They became to Israel a symbol of the very essence of evil.

“He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.” ISAIAH 40:22 (New International Version Bible).
Yes, I know. Mars has long been called the “Red Planet”. That’s its apparent color seen through telescopes, because of the large amounts of iron oxide dust in its thin mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere. Over past decades we’ve also seen some phenomenal pictures of the surface of Mars from the various NASA “ROVERS”, (Sojourner-1996, Spirit-2003, Opportunity-2003, Curiosity-2011, Perseverance-2020), those intrepid little wheeled robot explorers who send back great panoramas and detailed photos of the surface of Mars over 220 million or more miles back to Earth. As Mr. Spock from Star Trek might have commented: “Fascinating”!
Greenville County Food Trump Ordinance Update

Over the past several months I’ve received a number of questions from residents and business owners about the new Greenville County food truck ordinance and whether anything is being done yet.
The ordinance was approved by County Council in December 2025 to create clearer and more consistent rules for how mobile food units operate in the county. The goal was not to eliminate food trucks, but to address safety concerns and ensure a level playing field between mobile vendors and brick-and-mortar restaurants.

We are living in a time of wars and advent of additional wars; one country is fighting against another country then another joins and then still another. People are losing their lives and properties, and economic collapse, hunger, and starvation were beginning to be less and less only to see a rebound. Many are afraid for their lives or at least stressed over the lifestyle they knew and appears slipping away. While President Trump has brought evidence of positive change and hope it equally appears forces of darkness are strenuously opposed to any good or positive he does. Political forces of darkness have joined hands to gut any and all changes he has accomplished to help bring a light back to America.
