What is the fastest way to alienate a sizable fanbase and scuttle the reputation of a longstanding entertainment icon? Saturate it with obnoxious, woke, political messaging. The latest program to adopt this strategy is Nickelodeon, who, after watching Disney send Star Wars into a tailspin, said "hold my Kool-aid." After Nickelodeon promoted LGBT Pride Month for the first time in 2020, they decided to up the ante, as if everyone knows children's programs need more sexual content. Unsaintly Nick has introduced LGBT characters to shows including Blue's Clues & You!, Spongebob Squarepants, Rugrats, The Adventures of Korra, Henry Danger, Rocko's, and The Loud House.

President Joe Biden's Failure to Lead on Crime is Going to Slam Democrats at the Polls
- By Neil Patel
In the ongoing battle between Republicans and Democrats over who can scare away regular Americans more, the Democrats are going all in with their policies and rhetoric on violent crime. Left-wing Democrats have scared the hell out of regular Americans with their "defund the police" rhetoric and even more with actual cuts to funding for many big-city police departments and their refusal to prosecute many crimes.
After a multidecade decline, crime rates are way up. It shouldn't surprise anyone that voters are not happy about this. After months of largely ignoring the problem, President Joe Biden realized he had to address it. In essence, Biden's response pins the entire violent crime rise on access to guns. His solutions focus almost exclusively on gun control. We should debate gun policies, but pretending gun access explains the rising crime rate is preposterous on its face. This is not going to end well for Democrats.
Biden Military Wages Culture War
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
When Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin issued a "stand-down" order for the military to start its witch hunt for violent extremism in the ranks, that was only the first symptom. Since then, the Biden administration has subjected America's men and women in uniform to a dizzying barrage of woke indoctrination. A whistleblower hotline set up by Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Representative Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) has already received "well over 300 serious, credible complaints."
Wade Hampton, Troops in the Statehouse - Part 10
- By Bob Dill - Publisher of The Times Examiner
General Wade Hampton III, whose ancestors had fought Indians in the Upstate and British during the American Revolution had been a brilliant and fearless military leader in defense of his homeland. Federal troops under Gen. Sherman had invaded his beloved state, looted and torched his home and that of his family and neighbors, leaving him virtually penniless and his family homeless.
The powers that ruled South Carolina for almost a decade during “Congressional Reconstruction,” had “caused more destruction than the four years of war.”
Lawmakers Approve Massive State Budget Stuffed with Pork Projects
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Lawmakers on Monday sent a strong message in adopting a state budget for the fiscal year that starts next week.
Let the spending party begin – with your tax dollars.
The Legislature overwhelmingly approved a $32.3 billion total budget for fiscal 2022, which includes state, federal and “other” funds, budget records show. Not included in that amount, according to the official “summary control document,” was $176 million in earlier approved spending from the state capital reserve fund, mainly for maintenance, renovation and other building projects at public colleges and universities.
Blowing the Lid Off Probate Predators
- By Michelle Malkin
There is a silent epidemic in this country claiming the lives and property of untold numbers of innocent elderly and disabled Americans. It has nothing to do with exotic viruses. In fact, it's a homegrown phenomenon involving corrupt elected officials, judges and lawyers.
The deadly disease running rampant in our court system is probate and guardianship abuse.
Equality Act Slams the Door on Religious Freedom
- By Star Parker
The Supreme Court's recent decision, Fulton v. Philadelphia, is justifiably getting mixed reviews.
Catholic Social Services sued the city of Philadelphia, through the Philadelphia Archdiocese, for canceling its 50-year contract with the Catholic social services agency because it refuses to certify same-sex couples as foster families for the purpose of foster care.
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of CSS, finding that Philadelphia violated its First Amendment protections.
Credit Bill Discriminates Against Women in Favor of "Transgender"
- By Eagle Forum
Before Pride Month wraps up, the ultra-progressive House of Representatives is making moves to include “pride” into legislation and consequently, federal law.
Last week, the Democratic-led chamber attempted to shove H.R. 1443 or the LGBTQ Business Equal Credit Enforcement and Investment Act via suspension or voice vote. When this happens, members do not vote “yes” or “no,” and do not have to leave a record of the vote. In doing so, they are unaccountable to their vote! Thankfully, H.R. 1443 failed suspension. But the legislation is scheduled for a vote this week.
Czar Wars: GOP Demands Harris Border Replacement
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
By the time agents got to the truck, the 33 bodies crammed in the back were already passing out from the heat. Shirtless and dehydrated, almost half of the human cargo had to be hospitalized. At a sweltering 106 degrees, without water or air, who knows how many of the smugglers' victims would have survived? "Had our heroic agents not been able to free these trapped undocumented migrants," one Border Patrol chief said, "we could have seen 33 miserable deaths..." And they wouldn't have been the first casualties of a Biden administration living in denial about the immigration crisis. Not by a long shot.
Former Trans Kid Advocates Against Transgender Ideology
- By Eagle Forum
Nick Jr’s “Blue’s Clues” released a video to their YouTube Channel called the “Blue’s Clues Pride Parade Sing-Along.” The video is led by an animated version of drag queen Nina West singing an anthem to the melody of “The Ants Go Marching.” The video features different types of “inclusive” families like gay couples with children and uses terms like “trans” and “queer.” It’s certainly a blow to parents looking to screen their children from this twisted indoctrination. Nickelodeon seems to believe that they, not parents, should teach their children a fundamental lesson about life: what a family looks like.
Will Bishops Deny Biden Communion?
- By Pat Buchanan
Last week, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voted 168-55, more than 3-1, to provide new guidance for receiving Holy Communion.
Behind the decision?
Bishops' alarm that the public religious practice of President Joe Biden is conveying a heretical message to the faithful and the nation.
At Sunday Mass, Biden regularly receives Communion. Yet he not only supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to have an abortion, but his new administration also provides ample funding of abortions.

Social Justice Gone Mad
- By Mike Scruggs
The Poisoned Chalice of Critical Race Theory
Critical Race Theory (CRT) is a Neo-Marxist ideological framework and sociological and psychological toolset for undermining the cultural, social, moral, economic, legal, and political foundations of a people, nation, or government.
CRT’s primary tool is to exploit or even to fabricate racial grievances, which are built into social injustice narratives supporting Marxist cultural and political objectives. These narratives may have some truth to them, but they are most often built primarily upon subjective “lived experience” and blatant falsehoods that contradict objective facts and reason. Marxists believe that power is the only truth, so subjective “lived experience” and its supporting ideology and train of lies always trump objective truth or moral protest. This borders on post-modernist philosophies denying objective truth. The Marxist perpetrators of these false narratives often claim that the narratives are a “higher truth” that cannot be seen or understood by white people or their allies, because they don’t have the “lived experience.”
Santee Cooper Board Still Has Expired, Vacant Seats Despite ‘Reform’ Law
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Of the 12 seats on the board governing state-owned utility Santee Cooper, two are vacant while seven members are serving past their expired terms.
A new law that purportedly will reform Santee Cooper – pushed by lawmakers after they couldn’t decide to sell the debt-burdened utility – doesn’t change the selection process for board members, though it allows the utility to offer them state health insurance benefits on top of their salaries.
Disciples of Perfidy
- By W.H. Lamb
Perfidy is a word that isn’t in the regular vocabulary of many people. I came across it many years ago, the context of which now eludes me. I’m sure that I first read it sometime in the last century, in some wise writer’s discussion of the slimy politicians who infest our nation. Before exploring how this word has so dominated our modern world, let’s first define the word, perfidy, which comes from the Latin, “perfidia”, which means faithlessness.
Oxford Dictionary: (noun): deceitfulness, untrustworthiness;
Webster’s Dictionary: (noun): the quality or state of being faithless or disloyal; An act or an instance of disloyalty or faithlessness or treachery.
Poverty, Education & Family Breakdown
- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON -- A year after the tragic death of George Floyd and a national debate over race, reparations and racial equity in this country, television news digest CURE America with Star Parker, delves deep into "The State of Black America" on the challenges facing African-American communities and how to solve them.
With a panel of policy experts and pastors, Parker identifies the issues that have set blacks back - poverty, education, out-of-wedlock births, abortion, single parent households and church leadership that has failed to help get people back to spiritual and Biblical truths. And the government solutions to these problems have not worked to solve them but contributed to the breakdown of the family.
SALTY SEZ – Fear Not
- By Ray Simmons
A few weeks ago I said some things about the Equality Act Congress is working hard to pass. Now, I want equality myself: equality to say what I want to say and not have it cancelled, equality to say no to an untested vaccine that might eventually prove worse that the virus it is supposedly fighting -- but which some idiotic judge with no medical training says I have to take or my company can fire me. Technically I have no real knowledge of what the Equality Act spells out, but I have enough common sense to know that assuring equality of results is an impossibility, and that saying up is down does not make it true. We may say bad must equal good and dark must equal light, but whose standards are we following when we say it? Personal individuality is a quality built into the American system, and individuality guarantees inequality. It allows every American to use whatever talents he or she has to build his or her potential as far as possible. It is the quality that built this nation into the greatest country this world has known. Any law denying this principle would not be legal under our Constitution – but we-the-people seem to be allowing an unelected administration to pass numerous laws and regulations that are technically unconstitutional. And we, and most of our Supreme Court, seem not to be very interested.
Cut Off the Checks -- America's Businesses Need Workers
- By Laura Hollis
Like a lot of other Americans, I have been shocked in recent weeks at the number of businesses that cannot find workers. My daughter and I stopped at a fast-food restaurant here in South Bend, Indiana, two weeks ago on our way home from Chicago. After waiting 40 minutes in the drive-thru line, the beleaguered employee at the window handed us our food and apologized profusely. "I'm so sorry. We are way understaffed," he explained. "I have to close the store." This was 5:30 on a Saturday evening. How much money did that particular store lose, having to close for lack of staff in the middle of the dinner hour on a weekend night?
Baker Jack Phillips -- A Cultural Hero
- By David Limbaugh
Colorado baker Jack Phillips is a perpetual offender. He simply will not do. His offense? Unswervingly honoring his deeply held, and constitutionally protected, religious beliefs.
We've all heard of Phillips and his travails. Leftist bullies have been tormenting him for years, beginning in 2012, when the Colorado Civil Rights Commission targeted him for refusing to make a custom-designed cake to celebrate a same-sex wedding.
After several setbacks in various tribunals, Phillips was finally vindicated in a 7-to-2 U.S. Supreme Court ruling holding that the state of Colorado had shown "clear and impermissible hostility" toward Phillips' religious convictions in violation of his First Amendment rights.
Who Is Really Killing American Democracy?
- By Pat Buchanan
By a vote of 30-1 in the House, with unanimous support in the Senate, Juneteenth, June 19, which commemorates the day in 1865 when news of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation reached Texas, has been declared a federal holiday
It is to be called Juneteenth Independence Day.
Prediction: This will become yet another source of societal division as many Black folks celebrate their special Independence Day, and the rest of America continues to celebrate July 4 as Independence Day two weeks later.
Why the pessimism? Consider.
Sen. Tim Scott Speaks Out on Race and Reconciliation in Charleston

On 6th anniversary of deadly racist church shooting, SC Senator explains how community's response to tragedy is an example to the nation
WASHINGTON -- In an exclusive television interview marking the 6th anniversary of the day Dylann Roof murdered nine people and wounded thirteen others in a racist rampage of an African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina, Star Parker speaks with Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), who worked with community leaders to come together in prayer and reconciliation after this horrific incident.
In the days following the tragedy, the family members of those killed expressed their forgiveness towards the killer and the then Governor Nikki Haley and the state legislature removed the confederate flag from the State Capitol.
