Roy Brock, 82, addresses members of American Legion Post 214 of Taylors, SC about his life and how he and Donald Trump share the same date of birth.
Earmark Secrecy Continues as State Budget Goes into Effect
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
In vetoing 226 budget earmarks totaling $152.5 million, Gov. Henry McMaster last week wrote that the “bulk of these earmarked appropriations still lack sufficient context, description, explanation of merit, or justification as to how the recipient intends to spend the funds.”
That might be one of the biggest understatements on how lawmakers funnel surplus tax dollars to their pet projects.
Under House and Senate rules, earmarks are funding requests by legislators for specific programs or projects that didn’t originate with a written agency budget request, or weren’t included in the prior fiscal year’s state appropriations.
Corrupt-a-Homa: Judicial Abuse in the Heartland
- By Michelle Malkin
Thanks to Britney Spears' court battles over her hard-earned fortune, more Americans than ever before are learning about how predatory lawyers, judges, doctors, conservators and guardians collaborate to defraud and destroy the lives of innocent victims.
The 39-year-old Spears went public last week with her 13-year-long struggle against her father and court-appointed guardian Jamie Spears -- who reportedly wrested legal control over her work schedule, dating partners, ability to have children, psychiatric medications, vacations and even, according to one court document, what color she was allowed to choose for her kitchen cabinets. Britney Spears is not alone. A recent Netflix movie called "I Care a Lot" depicted similar scams on a grand scale. But the probate abuse racket is not just the stuff of Hollywood nightmares. Estates large and small are fleeced every day in this country through a cruel legal process summed up by Boston Broadside investigative reporter Lonnie Brennan: "isolate, medicate, liquidate."
Who's Pulling The Strings
- By The John Birch Society
For those new to the channel, the idea of an organization controlling the globe & pulling the strings of the American government may seem far-fetched. How could that possibly happen to a country founded on the virtues of independence and liberty?
If you ask us, there’s undoubtedly an existential threat to our Constitution. The threat however, does not come from any cave in Kandahar or from a bat in Wuhan. It unquestionably emanates from the Pratt House in New York City, home of the Council on Foreign Relations also known as the CFR. Find out more details about the CFR and their shady ties to our government on this episode of Constitution Corner!
Wade Hampton III - Governor, US Senator, Private Citizen - Part 11
- By Bob Dill - Publisher of The Times Examiner
After Wade Hampton III was installed as Governor of South Carolina, and Republican Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio was inaugurated as President of the United States, President Hayes invited Gov. Hampton to Washington for an audience at the White House.
Hayes had been a Union general during the war and the two old soldiers had war experience in common. “Evidence suggests that the two old soldiers not only reached an accommodation of sorts, but also established a close personal relationship,” according to Edward G. Longacre in Gentleman and Soldier: The Extraordinary Life of General Wade Hampton.
Later they “jointly toured parts of the South and stood side-by-side in urging reconciliation between the sections.” A few years later, some of Hampton’s allies with political aspirations in South Carolina would use his relationship with the “Yankee president” against him.
Southern Border: A Rio Overflowing with Crime
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Kamala Harris has a big problem, and Joe Biden to thank for it. Since the president assigned his vice president to oversee the crisis at the southern border over three months ago, "thousands upon thousands of illegal immigrants have already streamed into our nation at levels not seen in two decades," according to Congressman Chip Roy (R-Texas). Yet for three months she dismissed calls to visit the border with unconvincing excuses like "we've been to the border," and "I haven't been to Europe. I don't understand the point you're making." On Friday Harris finally -- after 93 days -- visited the southern border for the first time as vice president, in what was "a pit stop, literally, in El Paso, on the way to Los Angeles in order to check a box," said Roy. There, she had a new spin on her prolonged absence, "I said back in March, I was going to come to the border. So this is not a new plan."
School Choice Only Option in Divided Nation
- By Star Parker
The issue of critical race theory is raising a more fundamental question about our nation: education.
Education is about more than teaching children to read and write. It is about transmitting values, transmitting a worldview, that will define how our youth think and how they will live.
Per the Department of Education, in 2020, 56.4 million children were enrolled in K-12 education. Of these, 50.7 million were in public schools, and 5.7 million were in private schools.
So, government plays a substantial role in the education of our children.
Gail Nicholas Inducted into NSDA Hall of Fame
- By Randy Page - BJU
Gail Nicholas, Bob Jones Academy (BJA) faculty member, was recently inducted into the National Speech & Debate Association (NSDA) Hall of Fame. Nicholas is the first South Carolina coach to receive this honor.
This year’s Hall of Fame recognitions were given during NSDA’s virtual national competition in June 2021.
The NSDA Hall of Fame is the highest honor for speech and debate coaches. Of the thousands of coaches in the United States and around the world, only 193 have achieved the award since its inception in 1978. Hall of Fame members along with coaches who have earned three or more diamond awards vote to elect the new members from a slate of those nominated by member coaches.
Insatiable Woke America
- By Eagle Forum
During the signing of the bill making Juneteenth a federal holiday, President Biden said the following:
“I have to say to you, I’ve only been president for several months, but I think this will go down, for me, as one of the greatest honors I will have as president…I regret that my grandchildren aren’t here; because this is a really, really, really important moment in our history. By making Juneteenth a federal holiday, all Americans can feel the power of this day and learn from our history – and celebrate progress and grapple with the distance we’ve come (and) the distance we have to travel…”
Proposed Anti-Firearm Legislation Being Pushed by Enemies of Freedom
- By The John Birch Society
URGENT: Democrat senators plan to vote next month on a “background check” gun control bill specifically designed to gain Republican votes. Meanwhile, Republican senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) is reportedly seeking a “compromise” background-check gun control bill, while Joe Biden recently made comments attacking the Second Amendment and proposing additional gun control measures.
Republicans should never compromise on such blatantly unconstitutional legislation. Even if they succeed in passing a compromise, it would merely be a first step down the slippery slope toward additional changes that infringe on the Second Amendment. Tell your representative and senators to oppose any such compromise!

Boris Johnson Defies Vladimir Putin's Claim to Crimea
- By Pat Buchanan
About that clash between a British destroyer and Russian warplanes and warships in the Black Sea last week there are conflicting versions.
The Kremlin version is the more dramatic.
HMS Defender, says Moscow, entered the Black Sea, made port in Odessa, Ukraine, and then sailed for Batumi on the coast of Georgia.
However, the British warship traversed Russia's territorial waters at the tip of the Crimean peninsula, near Sevastopol, Russia's principal naval base on the Black Sea.
The War Against Christianity
- By Mike Scruggs
The Battle for Scriptural Authority
In Voddie T. Baucham’s just released book, Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism’s Looming Catastrophe, he makes a plea to the Church:
“I believe we are being duped by an ideology bent on our demise. This ideology has used our guilt and our good and godly desire for reconciliation and justice as a means through which to introduce destructive heresies. We cannot embrace, modify, baptize, or Christianize these ideologies. We must identify, resist, and repudiate them. We cannot be held hostage through emotional blackmail, and name-calling. Instead, we must:”
“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” - Colossians 2:8
Rank Hypocrisy: Top General Pushes Military CRT
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Ignoring the controversy over critical race theory didn't go so well for the Left. So they tried denying it. That was a bust. Now, they've moved on to a new strategy: digging in and defending it -- and, considering the latest clash over the military, that might be the worst idea of all.
When the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, came to testify on the latest defense budget, a handful of Republicans took the opportunity to put the country's top general on the hot seat over the wildly unpopular move to teach CRT in the ranks -- starting with America's service academies. When conservatives pressed Milley on the complaints they've heard from cadets and others, Milley was openly strident. "I personally find it offensive that [anyone is] accusing the United States military... of being 'woke' or something else because we're studying some theories that are out there," he told Waltz. Our service members need to be "open-minded and widely read," especially, he argued, on issues like racism. "I want to understand white rage -- and I'm white," Milley insisted.
State Agencies Claim Taxpayers’ Refunds to Collect Debts
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Over the last five years, state agencies, including public colleges and a university hospital system, collected a total of nearly $95 million in past-due payments through deductions from state income-tax refunds, records reviewed by The Nerve show.
A little-known state law, titled the “Setoff Debt Collection Act” (SDCA), allows state and local government agencies, “quasi-governmental” agencies and private colleges to seek deductions from income tax refunds by filing claims with the S.C. Department of Revenue.
The department recently provided The Nerve with collection records from 2016 through last year under the state Freedom of Information Act. This story examines collections by state agencies only.
Almost Forgotten Americans Who Really Were Heroes - Part 3
- By W.H. Lamb
Back in 1964, a film titled Cheyenne Autumn was released. Starring Richard Widmark and Carol Baker, it was an effort, only partly accurate historically, to tell the story that I’ve been trying to tell in Parts 1 & 2 of this series—of the noble attempt on the part of the Northern Cheyenne People to leave their inhospitable Southern reservation in modern-day Oklahoma (then called Indian Territory), into which they had been forced by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the U.S. Army, and return to their homelands in Wyoming and Montana Territory (referred to in history as the Exodus of the Northern Cheyenne). That these people even had to return to a homeland from which they had been ripped by the forces of “Manifest Destiny” was a dark stain on American history—that some of them actually completed their return was inspiring, a worthy example of the triumph of the human spirit, wherein the desire for freedom can never be quenched.
We Work While Bureaucrats are Paid
- By Eagle Forum
As the Federal Government keeps adding new paid holidays (June 19 and next up will be the Democrats' desire to make Election Day a holiday), I note that the paid Federal holidays only apply to a small fraction of workers.
Anyone who works in retail, hospitality, or medical industries knows that holidays are only for other people. Probably less than a sixth of the American workforce can enjoy the government-designated holidays.
Banks and the U.S. Post Office recognize holidays that no one else gets, such as November 11 (Veteran's Day) and the second Monday in October (used to be Columbus Day, now Indigenous People Day, and may also be Italian Heritage Day). Many of the "major" holidays have lost their original significance as Americans spend those days in shopping and entertainment.
SALTY SEZ – Something’s Wrong!
- By Ray Simmons
That’s sort of a crazy title, at a time like this everyone knows something’s wrong. I can say it’s wrong that our 2020 election was stolen, but everybody already knows that. I can say that failing to prosecute those who did it is wrong, and everybody knows that too. Something is really wrong when essentially one man can control what is communicated to the people. What’s the guy’s name who heads Facebook, and who can tell anybody, even the President, what he is allowed to post there for the people? I heard somebody say he was probably the richest Jew in the world and he won’t let people put positive statements about the Jews there – Zuckerberg? I think that’s it. One might think he would like to promote the Jewish nation with as much positivity as possible. But, a magazine I received had an opening article that read “Facebook Bans the Largest Pro-Israel Voice in the World”.
The Return of 'Law and Order'
- By Pat Buchanan
On Tuesday, Brooklyn Borough President and former police captain Eric Adams took the lead in the New York mayoral race with 32% of the Democratic primary vote, 10 points more than progressive Maya Wiley, who had the endorsement of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
How did Adams beat the elite? Said The New York Times:
Adams built "an old-school political coalition that united Black and Latino voters," and was "able to persuade working-class people, largely outside Manhattan, that he was the best candidate to make the city safe from crime."
Biden Weakens Asylum Rules Causing Border Crisis to Worsen
- By Eagle Forum
President Joe Biden’s “100-day pause” on enforcing immigration law has turned into a national disaster. Thousands of immigrants continue to stream into the United States via the southern border, yet the Biden administration looks the other way. While cartels are collecting fat paychecks for smuggling people over the border, many of whom are children who have experienced unspeakable violence from their traffickers, the President and Vice President just give a simple finger-wag. Our nation’s economy, security, and individual liberties are in harm’s way unless we can stem the flow.
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.
