Greenville Takes 21st Place Among Cities Where Renters Can Stretch Their Dollars the Furthest
- By Felicity Domentii - RentCafe
With prices surging faster than paychecks, American renters are left wondering: Where can they stretch their dollars the furthest? To answer this, we've compiled data from 189 cities to identify the sweet spots between income and expenses by weighing how much of their income went toward rent and basic expenses for utilities, food, healthcare and other essentials.
Greenville is the 21st-best city for renters looking to get the best bang for their buck. This is because renters here spend a smaller portion of their incomes on all analyzed expenses compared to most U.S. cities. Plus, Greenville’s income-to-rent ratio is one of the most favorable in the country.
A Biblical Perspective on Unintelligent on Other Planets
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
This article is related to the previous one. However, there are those addressing the idea of intelligent life from another planet; however, this article addresses unintelligent life. Unlike the concept of intelligent life on other planets, unintelligent life in no way raises any questions concerning any biblical doctrines. However, if it is ever discovered it needs to be seen from day one from a biblical perspective because it would used to attack the Bible.
Adam Crisp Pledges to Support Congressional Term Limits
- By Scott Tillman - U.S. Term Limits
Greer, SC – 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 candidate, Adam Crisp (District 36), has committed support for term limits on Congress by signing the term limits convention pledge. Crisp is the first signer in this race.
USTL President, Philip Blumel, commented on Crisp's pledge saying, “Adam'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.”
U.S. Part of a ‘Cash Bonanza’ That’s Paying Illegals to Cross the Border: Report
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
Is the U.S. bankrolling our own border invasion? That’s what an explosive new report from The Epoch Times suggests. While Americans struggle to pay for shelter, medical care, food, and schooling for the migrants who’ve been bussed to major cities, we may also be footing the bill for their journey here. “We’re actually funding our own border crisis,” the Center for Immigration Studies’ Todd Bensman warned. And most taxpayers have no clue.
While the Biden administration has been all too willing to throw open the gates to illegal crossers, their biggest contribution to the crisis is through the U.N., where this president has been funneling hundreds of millions of dollars to agencies sabotaging our border. The International Office for Migration (IOM), for instance, which is part of the U.N., had been raking in about a half-billion dollars before 2021. Now, alarmed experts say, that funding “has skyrocketed” to an eye-popping $1.3 billion in 2023 — double what it was under Donald Trump.

Adam Morgan Pledges to Support Term Limits on Congress
- By Scott Tillman, U.S. Term Limits
Washington D.C. – U.S. Term Limits (USTL), the leader in the non-partisan national movement to limit terms for elected officials, praises 2024 U.S. House candidate for South Carolina, Adam Morgan (District 4), for signing the pledge for an amendment to term limit Congress. Previously, candidate William Timmons also signed the pledge.
U.S. Term Limits has the support of more than 130 pledge signers in Congress. USTL President Philip Blumel commented on Morgan's and Timmons's pledges saying, “Adam's and William's strong support of term limits shows that there are individuals who are willing to put self-interest aside to follow the will of the people. America needs a Congress that will be served by citizen legislators, not career politicians.”
Property Taxes by State (2024)
- By John S Kiernan, WalletHub Managing Editor
Depending on where you live, property taxes can be a small inconvenience or a major burden. The average American household spends $2,869 on property taxes for their homes each year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and residents of the 26 states with vehicle property taxes shell out another $448.
Property taxes might appear to be a non-issue for the 35% of people who rent their homes, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. We all pay property taxes, whether directly or indirectly, as they impact the rent we pay as well as the finances of state and local governments.
Get US Out of the UN with the DEFUND ACT (H.R. 6645 & S. 3428)
- By The John Birch Society
Legislation to Get US Out! of the United Nations is currently pending in Congress. H.R. 6645 and S. 3428, titled the Disengaging Entirely from the United Nations Debacle (DEFUND) Act, are respectively sponsored by Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas) and Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah). These bills would fully withdraw the United States from the United Nations, restoring U.S. national sovereignty. Both H.R. 6645 and S. 3458 are pending in the House and Senate Foreign Affairs Committees, respectively. Contact your U.S. representative and senators, and urge them to support and cosponsor these bills, and to ensure their passage in Congress.
The United Nations is one of the greatest threats to U.S. national sovereignty and the God-given freedoms of Americans. It is imperative that Congress enact legislation to fully withdraw the United States from the UN and all its associated entities.

Evert’s Electables - GOP Presidential Preference Primary - February 24, 2024
- By Evert Headley
PLEASE NOTE—
- For candidates already in an office, I have been able to check voting records. My comments reflect their voting records over the course of their tenure.
- For those who have never run for office before, and who claim a position, I will state their claim, but understand I have nothing by which to verify that claim.
- Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. A photo ID is required to vote in South Carolina.
In this Primary it is extremely important that REPUBLICANS show up either early or on election day and vote. The Democrats had their primary on Feb 4th, and they had over 400,000 fewer voters show up and vote in their primary. We live in an open primary state (as open as President Biden has our national borders) and, as such, many of those voters WILL be voting in the GOP Primary. So take the time to vote and remind and encourage your fellow republican to vote, Take them to the polls if needed, Republicans need to show up and vote or the Dems will swing the election to their choice in our primary
America’s Existential Immigration Crisis
- By Mike Scruggs
Securing the Border—Absolutely Essential—but Far from Enough
A Warning to Republican Primary Voters
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, the Biden Administration released nearly 1.4 million illegal immigrants into the United States in fiscal year 2023 alone. Nearly a million of these were processed and aided by the U.S. Border Patrol. Other agencies processed about 400,000. This amounts to a separate Biden immigration system with outrageously inadequate or no documentation and little regard for national security, public safety, and economic impact. Moreover, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has admitted that another 600,000 entered the United States without apprehension—the “gotaways.” Illegal immigrants entering across our border totaled nearly 2.0 million. Another 850,000 overstayed their visas and blended into the economy. A frequent example of this is when an agricultural guest-worker violates their visa and disappears in order to take a higher paid job for an employer that does not require E-Verify immigration status. These forms of illegal immigration are totaling 2.85 million per year, almost three times the 1.0 million legal immigrants issued visas in 2023.
PERKINS: An Open Border Is an Open Invitation to Terror
- By Tony Perkins - The Washington Stand
Nineteen people. That’s all it took to completely upend the world. Even now, 23 years after 9/11, America looks dramatically different from that sunny morning when a handful of radical Islamists slammed their planes into the beating heart of our nation’s freedom, its commerce, security, and way of life. We vowed then, never again. But the lessons of the past have been forgotten under this administration, as millions stream across our open border — hundreds of them with a single goal: to destroy us.
To Reiterate: It Would Appear That We’re Living In “Perilous Times”
- By W.H. Lamb
Let me open this long “cyber sermon” with a side-by-side comparison of 2nd Timothy 3:1-5, in both my favorite “old” 1599 Geneva Bible and in my favorite “new” New International Version of the Bible. I know that some readers are unfamiliar with the Geneva Bible, and some are adamantly against reading any “modern” version of God’s Word beyond the 1611 Authorized KJV—but please indulge me, and we’ll get through this. Here is what the Triune Creator of All has to say about the “times” we are living in:
Can We Stop the WHO’s Pandemic Treaty and Health Regulations?
- By Kris Ullman, President, Eagle Forum
WHO on First?
As the World Health Organization rushes to put the finishing touches on amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) and the Pandemic Preparedness Agreement (ie “treaty”), it is important to remember the goal of the WHO is not to facilitate coordinated reactions to public health emergencies but to dictate the world’s response to “all risks that have the potential to affect public health” including non-medical risks like food choices, biodiversity, gun violence, and climate change. Despite their protestations to the contrary, the amendment to the International Health Regulations and the Pandemic Preparedness Treaty are threats to not only our national sovereignty but to personal sovereignty as well.
Finite Mind of Man
- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
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!
Dr. Ben Carson Is Leading the Fight for America’s Strongest Asset–The Family
- By Christian Newswire
“We Are in a Battle For the Very Soul of Our Nation,” Says Carson
Carson’s New Book, The Perilous Fight, Offers Solutions to Reverse Negative Culture Trends
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.
What Biden Bull Market?
- By Stephen Moore
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.
A Biblical Perspective on Aliens on Other Planets
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
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.

BMW i3 Owners Shocked By $30,000 Battery Replacement, One Quoted $71,000!
- By Stephen Rivers - Carscoops.com
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.

2024 Brings New 821 Area Code Overlay and Dialing Procedures for Upstate
- By Press Release
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:
House & Senate GOP Work to Clean Up Girls’ Sports

We’re Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta Our Sports
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.
