George Floyd Anniversary Should Stir Prayers for Healing
- By Alveda King
Today, we remember the catastrophic death of George Floyd. Racism is once again in the forefront of America. This anniversary of the high profile murder of an American Black man stirs our emotions yet again. Hopefully we can find it in our hearts to seek healing from our broken hearts by seeking God's help.
As the family of George Floyd gathered in Minneapolis over the weekend, expecting to meet with President Biden in the White House today to mark the one-year anniversary of Floyd's murder at the hands of former police officer Derek Chauvin, I have been praying for eyes to become opened. We need God's help to break through the hate and pain.
A Test for the Nation in Virginia Governor's Race
- By Star Parker
Americans may not have to wait until 2022 to sense the potential for Republicans to move the nation back in a conservative direction.
The race for governor in Virginia, one of just two major elections taking place this year, could be a barometer of national sentiment.
Republicans have just nominated a dream-team ticket, combining talent and achievement with all the diversity demands of today's political marketplace.
Merkel Flips Off Biden's Protest -- to Buy Putin's Gas
- By Pat Buchanan
When the U.S. created NATO, a primary purpose of the alliance was to serve as a western wall to defend Germany against the 400,000 Russian troops on the eastern side of the Elbe River.
Seventy years later, Germany has decided to double its dependence on Vladimir Putin's Russia for the natural gas needed to run the German economy, despite the opposition of her great protector, the USA.
The Biden administration decided to waive sanctions on Matthias Warnig, the ally of Putin whose company, Nord Stream 2 AG, is laying the pipeline beneath the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany that is now 95% complete.

The Real Jim Crow
- By Mike Scruggs
How Northern Jim Crow Laws Moved South
“Jim Crow” was the stage name of New York actor Thomas D. Rice (1808-1860), who made a career of minstrel performances in blackface and thus popularized that form of entertainment. The name “Jim Crow” came from a popular 1832 song, “Jump Jim Crow,” written and sung by Rice and became a common term referring to African-Americans. Later it became a nick name for legislation restricting the rights of African-Americans. Blackface is not necessarily demeaning. Rice may have based his character on slave folk tales about a clever trickster. Al Jolson (1886-1950), a Russian Jewish immigrant, and the most popular and beloved American entertainer beginning with the movie The Jazz Singer in 1927 and lasting for many decades, was said to be the “king of blackface.” Jolson’s personal feelings and many of his songs were certainly sympathetic to African-Americans. What most people do not know is that Jim Crow laws first originated in Northern States. Northern Jim Crow Laws were the model for Southern States following the ruin, corruption, and oppression of Reconstruction. As author C. Vann Woodward has stated, “Jim Crow has had a strange career.”
Feds Giving SC More Covid Money – Without Clear Spending Instructions
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Local governments in South Carolina are expected to collectively receive hundreds of millions more in federal COVID-19 relief funding, though what exactly that money can be spent on is unclear.
The U.S. Department of Treasury last week adopted an “interim final rule” on the American Rescue Plan (ARP) funding. But local government spokespersons told The Nerve this week their municipalities haven’t yet received the funds or specific guidance on how the money can be used, though the law authorizing the funding is more than two months old.
Wise Men Still Seek
- By W.H. Lamb
WISE MEN SEEKING JESUS, a poem by James T. East (1860-1937)
“Wise men seeking Jesus traveled from afar,
Guided in their journey by a wondrous star.
But if we desire Him, He is close at hand,
For our native country is our holy land.
Prayerful souls may find Him by our quiet lakes,
Meet Him on our hillsides when the dawning breaks.
In our fertile wheat fields where the sheaves are bound,
In our busy markets Jesus may be found.
NGU Earns Excellence in Giving’s Transparency Certification
- By LaVerne Howell - NGU
North Greenville University (NGU) has gained “Transparency Certification” from Excellence in Giving, LLC, a philanthropic advisory firm serving high-capacity donors.
According to Excellence in Giving, the firm “recognizes Transparency when charities share more data about governance, finances, strategy, and impact than the IRS requires.” The certificate was presented to NGU after the private Christian university provided 175 data points about operations and performance for donors to review before making an informed giving decision.
SALTY SEZ - What’s Next?
- By Ray Simmons
Everywhere I look these days I see problems on top of problems but no real solutions being offered. I look at an unelected government doing everything in its power to lead our country away from the Founders’ Constitution and the unalienable rights contained therein. The few honest men still in that government seem powerless to act. They speak to efforts being made to better things for the 2022 election but are doing nothing to correct the electoral process that gave us the unelected government we now have. We are still caught up in a man-generated pandemic and its highly questionable vaccines, which in the long run may prove more deadly than the virus itself.
Leftist Racial Agitation Damages and Divides America
- By David Limbaugh
Just when you think racial agitators can't get more outrageous and ridiculous, they do. We see fruits of this evil obsession every single day.
Throughout the pandemic, the media preached that historical racism in the United States disproportionately impacted African Americans. Hollywood bombards us with race-shaming on show after show, using fictional characters to lecture us on the pervasiveness of white supremacy, stirring racial resentment and division in the name of healing.
Did the GOP Just Dodge a Bullet?
- By Pat Buchanan
When he took the floor of the Senate to reject the Democrats' Jan. 6 Commission, Mitch McConnell may have salvaged his party's chances to recapture the House in 2022.
For that commission, being spun as a "bipartisan" effort to learn what "really happened" in the Capitol that fateful day, is a Democratic scheme to have the left's version of events on Jan. 6 enshrined as the official history of the United States.
And what is the left's version?
Dems Still Threatened by Trump
- By Eagle Forum
Bipartisan Commission on January 6th “Insurrection” is a Partisan Mess
On Wednesday, the House voted on H.R. 3233 to establish a National Commission to Investigate the January 6th Attack. Not unlike the majority of bills that moved through the House so far this year, this one also split mainly among party lines. Only thirty-five Republicans sided with the Democrats. Among those Republicans was the ousted GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY).
The Sin of Commission: Dems Push One-Sided Jan. 6 Probe
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Joe Biden's Democrats aren't interested in bipartisanship. So why would their January 6 "commission" be any different? This week, as the far-Left tries to turn the Capitol riots into a synonym for jihadist terrorism, Republicans want to know: what's the point? Pursuing a 9/11-type probe would only politicize the tragedy even more. Besides, there's already a nationwide investigation into the events of that horrible day. It's called law enforcement. To add another layer of expensive, partisan, government-sponsored fault-finding sounds like just another DNC fundraising gimmick. And the American people know it.
Biden's Family Leave Plan Is a Permanent Burden for a Temporary Problem
- By Veronique de Rugy
If you're a politician peddling big new government programs for which there is little need but hefty price tags, you need a clever marketing strategy. At the least, your sales pitch could use a decent soundbite. Such marketing is what the Biden administration with its friends in Congress and the media are doing when insisting that the drop in women's labor force participation during the pandemic requires implementing a policy of federal paid family leave.
Don't buy it.
Ministry Survey Shows Religious Freedom at Risk
- By D. James Kennedy Ministries
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Christian social conservatives answering a recent D. James Kennedy Ministries (DJKM) survey reported pervasive ill-treatment for their Christian faith.
An astonishing 96% of those who answered DJKM's 2021 Spiritual & Constitutional State of the Nation Survey said they have "experienced verbal or physical abuse or bias" due to their "faith in Jesus Christ or . . . conservative Christian views." That is three times more than in 2020, when 31% said they have been mistreated for their Christian faith.
Woke Liberals in Academia, and the Marxist Communists They Love
- By Charleston Athenaeum Press
Academia has given our country the racist identity politics of Critical Theory, the anti-white hatred of Critical Race Theory, and they have taught a generation of young Americans to hate their country.
Many in academia promoted Marxist Communism in the 1960s because they thought it would bring utopia (and they also realized that elites promoting Communism and socialism often get rich while the rest of us get the shaft). Look at the co-founder of Black Lives Matter, Patrisse Khan-Cullors, who proudly proclaims herself a Marxist and just bought her fourth million-dollar home.
Two Lawmakers Rack up Thousands in Unpaid Ethics Fines
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Since 2015, two sitting House members have owed thousands in civil fines after receiving public reprimands for campaign reporting violations, records reviewed by The Nerve show.
Rep. Cezar McKnight, D-Williamsburg, who is an attorney, owes $59,150.88 to the Senate Ethics Committee, committee lawyer J.J. Gentry said in an initial written response in January to The Nerve, citing information from the S.C. Department of Revenue.
Out of a total $60,190 in fines imposed against McKnight, $1,039.12, or less than 2%, had been collected, Gentry said then – though the amount was not paid directly to the Ethics Committee but instead was collected through SCDOR’s debt-collection program, which involves deductions from income tax refunds.
The Magnolia State Shines on the Unborn
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
We don't agree with the pro-abortion side on much, but we do agree on this: the stakes of the Supreme Court case next October are the highest they've ever been. And on the Left, there's understandable panic. The "right" to abortion was never a democratically-passed law, statute, or constitutionally-protected decision. It's an invention of activist judges, and when the Court hears oral arguments this fall on why states have a right to protect women and children, the future of unlimited, elective abortion looks uncertain for the Left.
State Individual Income Tax Rates and Brackets for 2021
- By Katherine Loughead - Tax Foundation
Individual income taxes are a major source of state government revenue, accounting for 38 percent of state tax collections.[1] Their prominence in public policy considerations is further enhanced in that individuals are actively responsible for filing their income taxes, in contrast to the indirect payment of sales and excise taxes.

URGENT: Republicans Working on "Equality Act" Compromise!
- By John Birch Society
URGENT: Senators Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), and Susan Collins (R-Maine) are reportedly working on a “compromise” Equality Act that would ostensibly “protect” religious individuals and organizations. Republicans should never compromise on such a blatantly unconstitutional and anti-religious freedom bill. 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 First Amendment and promote the “LGBT” agenda. Tell your senators to oppose any such compromise!
Democrats in Congress are seeking to pass H.R. 5 and S. 393, titled the “Equality Act,” an unconstitutional bill that would severely limit religious freedom in favor of the radical “LGBTQ” agenda.
Originally introduced in the previous Congresses, H.R. 5 is sponsored by Representative David Cicilline (D-R.I.) and has 223 co-sponsors in the House — more than half the chamber. The bill also now has the support of Joe Biden, as U.S. president, and it has a Congress under unified Democrat control.
I'm With Israel and Against Critical Race Theory
- By Star Parker
In 1867, American writer Mark Twain visited the Holy Land. He recorded his impressions in a book titled "The Innocents Abroad."
Twain was appalled when seeing the abandoned and desolate land that was the home of the Bible.
"The further we went, the hotter the sun got and the more rocky and bare, repulsive and dreary, the landscape became," he wrote. "There was hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil, had almost deserted the country."
Beware Elise Stefanik's Moneyman
- By Michelle Malkin
Did "America First" conservatives really "win" the battle over the GOP's congressional leadership last week? Old-guard Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney may be out of power as the House Republican Conference chair. But her replacement, New York GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik, is a swampy shape-shifter whose campaign coffers are filled with open borders, radical social liberal, Wall Street cash.
The multibillion-dollar moneyman behind Stefanik's rise to power is Big Business oligarch Paul Singer. He founded the hedge fund Elliott Management and propped up the political bids of several Republican women who rode the gender card to victory: Stefanik in New York's 21st congressional district; anti-Trump establishment Republican Barbara Comstock in Virginia's 10th congressional district; and John McCain loyalist and Trump flip-flopper Martha McSally, who held Arizona's second congressional district before losing her 2020 special election to retain the Senate seat she was appointed to when former Sen. Jon Kyl stepped down as the late McCain's replacement.
BJA Team Places Fifth at National Championship
- By Randy Page - BJU
The Bob Jones Academy (BJA) Mock Trial team placed fifth in the National High School Mock Trial Championship held virtually May 13-15, behind teams representing Maryland, Iowa, New Mexico and Georgia. They competed against 46 teams from other states and countries. This is the seventh time a BJA team won the state championship and advanced to nationals. In 2004, BJA won the national championship.
The goal of the mock trial program is to help students gain a thorough understanding of the American judicial system by preparing for and trying a fictitious case based on applicable state laws and legal procedures. The judges and scoring members of the juries at the championship are members of their respective state bar associations.
Chinese Christian Lawyer and Citizen Journalist Zhang Zhan to Receive '2020 Lin Zhao Freedom Award' for Exposing Truth About COVID-19 in Wuhan, China Investigation
- By Christian Newswire
MIDLAND, Texas -- On May 14, Lawyer Zhang Zhan's one year anniversary of her arrest for reporting on the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, ChinaAid awarded her the "2020 Lin Zhao Freedom Award." Based on the nominations received, ChinaAid's Selection Committee unanimously voted to honor Ms. Zhang, a Christian, a lawyer, and a fearless, citizen journalist.
During the time the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) raged throughout the world, igniting and spreading fear of its deadly, debilitating effects, Lawyer Zhang travelled to Wuhan, the center of the outbreak. She courageously investigated the area, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology, to film what she witnessed. For her work revealing unsettling findings to the world, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) authorities arrested Ms. Zhang, unjustly tried her, and then sentenced her to serve four years in prison. By courageously exposing what she witnessed and learned, however, Zhang Zhan demonstrated a dedication that touched the world and a spirit of fearless sacrifice against the Chinese Communist regime.
Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Major Abortion Case Implicating Roe v. Wade
- By Life Legal Defense Foundation
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court today announced that it will hear its first abortion case since the confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett. The case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, involves a Mississippi law that prohibits elective abortions after 15 weeks. A lower court enjoined or blocked implementation of the law shortly after it was enacted in 2018.
Life Legal filed a friend of the Court or amicus brief in the case last July urging the Court to take the case to establish that states may "assert an unqualified interest" in protecting human life.
Stanton Public Policy Center Applauds the Supreme Court for Agreeing to Hear Mississippi Case Regarding a State Ban on Abortions After 15 Weeks
- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON -- The case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, is a challenge to a Mississippi law that prohibits nearly all abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy.
Stanton Public Policy Center believes this is the most critical abortion case since Roe v. Wade.
Stanton Public Policy Center is a women's advocacy and educational group that works on issues of human rights and justice which empower and inspire women. It is affiliated with Stanton Healthcare which has life-affirming women's health clinics in America and internationally.
Bibi & Hamas -- Only Winners in Gaza War
- By Pat Buchanan
"Israel is Winning Battles, Hamas is Winning the War."
So ran the headline in the Jerusalem Post atop an analysis of the Gaza war, which began, "The IDF is registering great achievements in Operation Guardian of the Walls, but meanwhile the house appears to be collapsing from within."
Hard to disagree.
Consider this New York Times commentary about Israel's prime minister from the runner-up to the Democratic presidential nominee in the primaries of 2016 and 2020, Sen. Bernie Sanders:
