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
- By Eagle Forum
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.
As Rockets 'The Size of Double Decker Buses' Pound Lviv, Ukrainian Team Tisks Everything to Bring iBIBLE to Life
- By RevelationMedia
LVIV, Ukraine -- In the heart of Ukraine's war-torn landscape, men maneuver stealthily through the darkness on their way to work, careful to avoid security checkpoints where they would be detained and sent to the front lines of the ongoing war with Russia. Some of them do this to make their way to an office building where they're part of a team working with U.S.-based non-profit RevelationMedia to achieve a monumental mission—animating the entire Biblical Narrative and making it available to translate into over 7,000 living languages.
Guns, Guns, Everywhere — but How Violent Is the U.S., Really?
- By Selwyn Duke - The New American
Here’s some food for thought: There are more than 393 million firearms in the United States.
Americans have been buying in excess of one million guns per month for the last four-plus years.
Our nation also leads the world, by far, in number of firearms owned per 100 civilians.
Yet the United States is not in the top 50 countries in murder rate — and may be outside the top 100.
Biden's Super Bowl Shrinkflation Blame Game
- By Veronique de Rugy
President Joe Biden wants to remind you that your Super Bowl party was more expensive than it used to be. The reason, he claims, is corporate greed and "shrinkflation." In a social media video before Sunday night's game, he spoke of companies selling "smaller-than-usual products where the price stays the same." He opposes this behavior and is "calling on the big consumer brands to put a stop to it."
That's quite an amazing move. There's a straight line between shrinkflation, inflation and the Biden administration's own fiscal irresponsibility.

Will the Voices of Detransitioners Finally Be Heard?
- By Christian Newswire
Detransitioners get a voice in new book about devasting pro-trans movement
SAN FRANCISCO -- The pro-trans movement is loud and demanding yet their dark underside is rarely discussed — until now. THE DETRANSITION DIARIES, by Jennifer Lahl and Kallie Fell, gives detransitioners a voice and reveals the horrifying truth about the medical, mental, and physical abuse happening within the trans movement.
THE DETRANSITION DIARIES tells the stories of five women and two men who felt they were born in the wrong body and believed the lie they were told by peers, teachers, and medical professionals that they could be their "true" selves by medically and surgically altering their bodies to match the opposite sex. Their stories describe the short- and long-term harm that so-called gender-affirmative medicine did to their mental and physical health.

CALL TO ACTION: Get DEI Out of SC!
- By SC Freedom Caucus
Big news—tomorrow, after the SC House of Representatives adjourns, a House Education and Public Works Subcommittee will hold a hearing on SCFC member Josiah Magnuson’s DEI bill.
The bill’s number is H.4290. If passed, it will drastically reduce the negative and divisive impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in our colleges and universities.
DEI (also known as Discrimination, Exclusion, and Indoctrination) is the practice of Marxist critical theory. It is an anti-American ideology that rejects individual responsibility, accomplishment, and merit in favor of socialism and class warfare based on race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion. It also promotes revisionist history and Left-wing activism intent on upending alleged “systemic oppression.”
Taxpayer money should never be used to undermine our values, silence speech, and indoctrinate our youth.
Graphic Anti-Abortion TV Ads to Air
- By Press Release
PHILADELPHIA & WASINGTON -- Randall Terry, renowned founder of Operation Rescue, will officially declare his candidacy for President as an Independent candidate on Thursday, February 15, 2024.
Locations: The announcements will take place at 11:00 AM on Independence Mall near 6th and Chestnut Streets in Philadelphia, and at 3:00 PM in Washington, DC across the street from the White House in Lafayette Park at the Lafayette Statue.
Terry is running for president for 2 reasons:
- To show millions of Americans the grizzly truth about abortion. Terry's presidential ads show graphic images of aborted babies (see sample of ads at www.terry2024.com.)
- To call on Roman Catholics, Evangelicals and Black Americans who voted for Biden in 2020 to repent and not vote for Biden in 2024, in the hope of causing Biden to lose key swing states.
2024 Republican Presidential Preference Primary
- By Greenville Patriot Caucus
Overwhelm the polls on February 24th for the Republican Presidential Preference Primary!
After the recent Democratic Presidential Preference Primary on February 3rd, 2024 the message is loud and clear. Democrats did NOT come out to vote for a candidate on their ticket. In fact, this year’s Democratic PPP resulted in about 4% of registered voters getting to the polls; one of the lowest voter turnouts in recent years.
So, what does this mean for Republicans? Due to the fact that South Carolina is an open primary state, (meaning that voters are not required to register by party and can, therefore, vote in the party primary of their choice) we can expect Democrats to turnout in droves to vote for their “Republican” candidate of choice - former SC Governor, Nikki Haley. This is a desperate attempt to keep President Donald Trump (and his proven record of successful policies) off the General Ticket in November. If Democrats are willing to vote for Haley to attempt undercutting Trump’s opportunity of success, it begs the question, is Nikki the right choice for SC conservatives and our Nation overall? Greenville Patriot Caucus, says “No!” We are proud to endorse President Donald J. Trump for President in 2024.
Huge Win for 2A Rights and Petty Politics on Full Display
- By SC Freedom Caucus
RINOs Work with Dems to Save Face
We've seen some wild things in Columbia, but maybe none as wild as this.
To recap, the SC House passed a decent Constitutional Carry Bill and sent it to the SC Senate last year. The Senate gutted the bill, creating constitutionally questionable classes of gun owners, and exempting legislators from gun laws that our constituents would have to follow.
The SC Freedom Caucus, from the moment the Senate passed their watered-down version, called for the House to amend the bill back to its original form.
The Biden, Schumer, Romney Foreign Aid Budget Buster
- By Stephen Moore
President Joe Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and a handful of left-leaning Republicans (led by Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, of course) have just agreed to a near $100 billion foreign aid bill for Israel and Ukraine.
Is the spending addiction so severe that there is NOTHING Congress will not spend and borrow money for?
Not one penny of this aid package is paid for with offsetting spending cuts from a near $6 trillion budget. President Donald Trump has sensibly suggested that the foreign aid funds -- if any -- should be in the form of a loan to be paid back by the recipient countries over time. The Dems wouldn't go for that.
Winds of Change in the Black Vote
- By Star Parker
Data shows that winds of political change are blowing among Black voters.
In volatile times like now, predictions can be made with only the greatest caution.
However, it seems clear that something is going on and Black voters are breaking with past voting patterns.
The New York Times reported last November that, per its polling with Siena College, 22% of Black voters in six key battleground states -- Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin -- indicated they would support Republican Donald Trump.

A Health Care ‘Tower of Babel’: Pro-Life Leaders Denounce WHO Pandemic Agreement
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
An international global governance group has launched “a global power grab” in its efforts to influence the way the world’s governments respond to global health emergencies — and suppress those who dare to dissent.
A coalition of pro-life, pro-security experts denounced the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Pandemic Agreement, originally proposed as a global treaty, which would require the United States to give 20% of all vaccines and supplies to WHO for global redistribution; calls on governments to “combat” any information that undermines trust in public health authorities; and promotes “equity,” “universal” government health care, and the “OneHealth” doctrine equating human life with animals. The current draft agreement does not allow nations to make reservations or amend the accord. But an unelected body of global bureaucrats can make legally binding changes to its terms once the agreement goes into force.
Sustainable Development Goals: Local Chokeholds
- By Lynne M Taylor - American Policy Center
My dear fellow Americans, recently APC published my article concerning the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) on a local level. Thank you for all the feedback I’ve received. This article will give you a first person account of what happened as a result of practicing citizen activism. Read, share and let’s band together!

A Local’s Experience:
As many of you may know, I make it a point to speak up in my local government as much as I can. Currently, the town of Mooresville, NC is conducting a series of town meetings to invite citizens to weigh in on the latest comprehensive planning efforts. Now, if you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know that I’ve reported Mooresville is in the thick of becoming a UN (United Nations) hub. You also know that I’ve shared how the town has been a pilot for the massive amounts of student data harvesting/tracking; inclusive housing (meaning to create housing for workforce), and other items which fit right into the CCSS Machine. However, Mooresville is hardly alone in its efforts to become a cookie cutter hotbed of conformity.

Mobilizing 5,000 Volunteers to Pack 1 Million Meals in 3 Days
PLYMOUTH, Mich. -- In the face of staggering statistics revealing the devastating impact of preventable causes on millions of children worldwide, NorthRidge Church is joining forces with Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) to launch an ambitious initiative—packing 1 Million Meals over three days.
Every year, children succumb to preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, and undernutrition, with hunger accounting for nearly half of deaths in children under five. The heart-wrenching reality is that at least 6,200 children perish daily due to undernutrition-related causes.

OPPOSE South Carolina Ranked-choice Voting Bill H.4022
- By The John Birch Society
Members of the South Carolina General Assembly are seeking to pass legislation that would implement ranked-choice voting (RCV) in the state. The General Assembly must reject RCV and the detrimental effects it would have on election integrity.
House Bill 4022 (H.4022) is sponsored by one Democrat and one Republican — a “bipartisan” bill that pushes South Carolina and its voting standards away from sound, Americanist principles.
If enacted, this bill would allow municipalities to implement RCV — labeled “instant runoff voting” in the bill — in their own elections. This would be a major step, and a slippery slope, toward RCV in all South Carolina elections.
Campaign Launched to Restore the Ten Commandments to the Alabama Judicial Building
- By RestoreTheCommandments.com
BIRMINGHAM -- In 2003, the Ten Commandments monument was ordered removed from the State of Alabama Judicial Building. Now that the right to honor God has been restored, we are petitioning the Alabama Supreme Court to restore the Commandments back to where they belong.

Lifelong Chiefs Fan Says Greatest 'Super Bowl Sunday' Victory was Putting God Front and Center
- By Christian Newswire
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- When lifelong Kansas City Chiefs’ fan, Ed Van Buskirk, saw Hallow’s 30-second Super Bowl commercial he was overjoyed. “It was inspiring that millions were invited to stop and turn their focus to God, as we approach the holy season of Lent. As thrilling as it is that my Kansas City Chiefs have won the Super Bowl two years in a row, I consider turning America’s focus back to God the greatest of all victories yesterday.” Van Buskirk is founder of If U Love Me, who is on a mission to restore God’s Ten Commandments where he says, “Our culture has hit an all-time low, both morally and spiritually.”

Last week in my article on Yemen and the Houthi rebels, I gave some statistics on Yemen in the first paragraph. Ita population is 34.5 million. More than 99 percent are Muslims, of which about 58 percent are Sunni Muslims and 42 percent are Shia Muslims. The Shia Muslims are overwhelmingly of the Zaydi branch, which is closely associated with the Houthi rebels. The average annual price adjusted GDP is only $2,053. The literacy rate is about 70 percent.
