State Court System Keeps Staff Salaries Secret from the Public
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
The S.C. Judicial Department – the third branch of state government – is refusing to publicly reveal salaries of its own employees, contending it isn’t legally required to do so.
The Nerve on Oct. 18 submitted a request to the department under the state Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) asking for the name, title and salary of every department employee making at least $50,000 annually. The law says that the exact compensation of a public employee receiving $50,000 or more a year is not exempt from disclosure to the public.
Biden Goes against the Gains on Policy
- By Family Research Council
Even if Donald Trump isn't in the White House for the next four years, he's leaving the next president with a whole lot to remember him by. As the days tick on, more liberals are starting to realize that even if Joe Biden wins, upending all that Trump did will be a much harder climb than many people thought. The roots of this administration's policy run deep, and pulling them up will be a long, difficult slog--if the Democrat can manage it at all.
Is Trump Exiting Afghanistan -- to Attack Iran?
- By Pat Buchanan
With the Pentagon's announcement that U.S. forces in Afghanistan will be cut in half -- to 2,500 -- by inauguration day, after 19 years, it appears the end to America's longest war may be in sight.
The Pentagon also announced a reduction of U.S. troop levels in Iraq to 2,500 by mid-January. In 2003, we invaded and occupied Iraq to remove a perceived threat from Saddam Hussein and to disarm that nation of weapons of mass destruction we discovered it did not have.
What Happens When a Broken Country Tries to Fight a Pandemic
- By Neil Patel
One of the most memorable scenes in the "Hunger Games" books and movies is when the poor kids from the outer districts take the train into the glimmering capital. There they see affluence and decadence completely foreign to them in their poor, hyperregulated homelands. It's all fiction, of course, but it's not too far from what we are actually seeing in coronavirus-ridden America 2020.
In case after case, we are seeing public officials completely flout the rules they are imposing on their own constituents. It's never been clearer that we are devolving into some sort of tiered society with different laws and regulations depending on your station in life. Politicians and top business executives can fly around on private planes, book private dinners and continue with their lives, while regular Americans see stricter and stricter lockdowns and mandates.
Sixth Grader Suspended, Reported to Police for Displaying Toy Gun During Zoom Class as Part of Assignment to Look 'Scary'
- By Christian Newswire
MATTHEWS, N.C., -- The Rutherford Institute has come to the defense of a North Carolina student who was suspended from school and reported to police for possessing a look-alike weapon and making a threat after he displayed a toy gun during a virtual class as part of a Halloween assignment to "look scary."

The Censorious Left Is Obliterating Free Speech
- By David Limbaugh
A lot of things worry me about a Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration, but nothing troubles me more than that it will accommodate the left's disturbing march toward selective suppression of free speech.
Much of the war against this sacred liberty occurs at the level of our culture, but when a leftist-friendly administration is in power, our efforts to combat this culturally will be more difficult.
Potheads Back in Washington
- By Eagle Forum
House Hoping to Legalize Marijuana
This week, Washington welcomed back the House and Senate after a recess to campaign. The few weeks in between the end of the 116th and start of the 117th Congress are sure to be busy. The agenda includes funding the government before the December 11th deadline and decriminalizing marijuana.
The House follows the lead of the four states that decriminalized marijuana on November 3rd. We’ve advocated tirelessly against marijuana legalization and our lawmakers, both federally and at the state level, continue to forget the consequences of the drug’s legalization. Just last September the House passed the SAFE Banking Act. As you may recall, this legislation prevents federal banking regulators from punishing financial institutions that finance marijuana businesses that are legal under state or local laws. The bill undermines federal law and allows for legal money laundering in which banks receive illegally obtained funds.
SALTY SEZ – Still Waiting
- By Ray Simmons
The voting’s over, at least it’s supposed to be. Now we are waiting for the check-up. I’m finding it hard to figure out what’s going on with the American people these days. I guess they’ve grown too accustomed to the easy life and most of them don’t seem to know or respect how they got that easy life anyway. A lot of men and women died so they could have the privilege of voting. Veterans Day came and went and I wasn’t overcome by the honor given them by the politicians. There are many things that happen that I don’t like but most of them I can live with. The hardest to accept is the life-long politicians who have grown rich at the taxpayers’ expense while doing nothing to profit the taxpayers and much to belittle them. But the American political swampees are too busy and unconcerned. Their actions reflect the fact that their knowledge of our history lacks a lot of truth. The dying of our soldiers began in the American Revolution and has been continued in many wars following: for what? To protect the Constitution and the freedoms it provides for the greatest nation ever conceived by man – with God’s help.

How PSC Squelched Public Comment on Dominion Rate-Hike Request
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Update: 11/18/20 – The S.C. Public Service Commission today voted to hold two additional public hearings in the first week of January on Dominion Energy’s proposed electric rate hike. The hearings will be held from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 5, and from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 7. Participants can either phone in their testimony or attend in person at either hearing. In-person testimony will be held in the PSC hearing room at 101 Executive Center Drive, Columbia; one person at a time will be allowed in the room to testify, and the room will be cleaned between witnesses to comply with public health guidelines in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Witnesses must register by no later than 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 6, by either emailing the PSC at
“No.”
That was the collective response by the small number of Dominion Energy electric customers who testified at last week’s virtual hearings about whether they supported the utility giant’s proposed nearly 8% rate hike.
It’s unknown whether the seven-member state Public Service Commission, which hosted the hearings, will allow more public comment before it issues its final order by Feb. 15.
Dr. James Dobson's Election Reflections
- By James Dobson
There is a heaviness within my spirit today on behalf of our beloved nation. I’m sure I share that sentiment with many of you. In a sense, Shirley and I are also grieving over the potential passing of an era, during which I believe God gave America a spiritual reprieve. President Donald Trump was partially responsible for this crucial change of trajectory.
Prayer Outcry for U.S. Election Breaks 2 Million
- By The Presidential Prayer Team
SCOTTSDALE, Az. -- An unbreakable chain of prayer has been surrounding the nation's election for the last several weeks as part of IPrayRadio.org. In that time, The Presidential Prayer Team captured and shared member prayers allowing anyone to listen and pray along. These prayers have surpassed two million listens as the people of America, and, indeed around the globe, have poured out their hearts to God on behalf of the nation and its leaders.
COVIDGATE: The Corruption of Clinical Trials (Part One)
- By Michelle Malkin
"Truly striking." "Tremendous." "Extraordinary." "Miraculous." "A great day for science and humanity." Those are just a few of the hyperbolic responses from government health officials and Big Pharma cheerleaders to preliminary COVID vaccine trial data released by Pfizer and Moderna this past week.
If it all sounds too good to be true, then congratulations: Your B.S. detector is fully charged and operational.
What if Neither Presidential Candidate Receives the Required 270 Electoral Votes?
- By Janine Hansen - Eagle Forum
This could happen if the Supreme Court overturns enough of Biden votes, that he does not have sufficient to achieve the 270 electoral votes to win the election.
We don’t know yet if this will happen, but with the many recounts, investigations into fraud, and court challenges it is a possibility.
If neither candidate receives the required 270 electoral votes, then the Twelfth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution outlines what happens. “…if no person have such majority (of elector votes), then…the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.” But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having ONE vote.” A quorum of members from two-thirds of the states is required.
Trump Team Looks at Cause and Elect
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
They flooded downtown D.C. holding patriotic flags and signs, a mass of Americans filling the streets to show their support for the president. The media would ignore them, of course -- but the sea of Million MAGA marchers, like the dozens of campaign rallies leading up to the election, would be hard to overlook. Chants of "Count every vote!" rang out -- a cry echoed in courtrooms across the states, where the Trump campaign fights on. Whether his efforts will be enough to save his presidency, no one knows. But could they save an election system bogged down by doubts and questions? That, in the long run, may be just as important.
Beijing Sends Biden a Warning
- By Pat Buchanan
Because of Donald Trump, Vice President Joe Biden thundered during the campaign, the U.S. "is more isolated in the world than we've ever been ... America First has made America alone."
Biden promised to repair relations with America's allies. And he appears to have gone some distance to do so in the congratulatory phone call he received from Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga of Japan.

Bob Jones University Announces Tuition Freeze
- By Randy Page - BJU
Bob Jones University President Steve Pettit announced a tuition freeze for the 2021-2022 academic year to assist students and make college more affordable.
“Although BJU was recently named by U.S. News & World Report as the best value regional university in the Carolinas, this tuition freeze continues to solidify BJU as an incredibly affordable, Christian liberal arts education,” said Pettit. “With parents and students struggling with the uncertainties of COVID-19, the tuition freeze will help ease financial stress for our students and their parents.”
Correct Diagnostics Needed
- By Walter Williams
You present to a physician with severe abdominal pain. He examines you and concludes that your ingrown toenails are the cause of your abdominal distress. He prescribes that you soak your feet in warm water but that does not bring relief to your abdominal pain. Then he suggests that you apply antibiotics to your feet. Still no relief. Then the physician suggests that you wear sandals instead of shoes. Still no relief. The point of this story is that your toenails can be treated until the cows come home, but if there is improper diagnosis, then you are still going to have your abdominal pain.

Collusion for Tyranny
- By Mike Scruggs
Election 2020 Marred by Massive Vote Fraud
“We have put together the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”—Joe Biden, October 24, 2020.
Joe Biden probably did not mean to say this. He is famous for muddling his verbal communications, but the evidence is mounting that he inadvertently spoke the truth.
The truth of collusion for tyranny by massive vote fraud is unfolding as hundreds of affidavits and other commanding documentary evidence accompany law suits alleging massive vote fraud in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, with more to come. Most of the mainstream media continue to cover up and deny the credibility of these suits, but mountains of evidence and personal testimonies are making massive vote fraud in the 2020 elections obvious and undeniable. The mainstream media have manifested so much dishonesty and demented hatred for Donald Trump that they have lost all public credibility So much so, that One America News (OAN) has called the mainstream media Trump’s real opponent in the 2020 Election, rather than Joe Biden. This collusive coalition of media, globalist corporations, leftist academia, deep state government, and radical Democratic Party ideologies has terribly damaged the credibility of the U.S. Presidential Election and threatens the established freedoms and prosperity of all Americans.
Civil War in America?
- By Frank Raddish - Founder/Director Capitol Hill Independent Baptist Ministries
Recently, the four stooge women named: "Stupid" (AOC), "Ignorant" (Omar), "Dummy" (Pressley), and "Imbecile" (Tlaib) who make up the Marxist Squad in Congress, have proposed and signed a declaration demanding that all Democrats recognize and support BLM. Also, BLM (Baboons, Liars, & Morons) has communicated to Joe Biden that it wants a meeting with him to discuss black liberation in America. We would like to send the Marxist Squad, BLM, and Antifa on a slow, one-way boat ride to China where everything is set up for them by Marxist ideology.
Are We Thankful?
- By W.H. Lamb
(ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE TIMES EXAMINER NOV. 27, 2002)
It is sad that so much of true American history is being forgotten, consigned to the memory hole of left wing political correctness that infests what passes for public “education” in our country. A case in point is the true story of the “first Thanksgiving” (the one in Plymouth, Massachusetts, not the probable real “first” thanksgiving that was held in Jamestown, Virginia). The coming of the “Saints and Strangers”, or the people known to history as “the Pilgrims”, to the bleak shores of Massachusetts in December, 1620 should be as well known to our people—young and old—as is the story of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, but sadly Rudolph wins out every time.
Radical 'Heroes Act' Is a Leftist Wish-List
- By Ruth Moreno - Family Research Council
On November 12, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) held a joint press conference calling for the passage of the Heroes Act. The Senate, House, and White House have been dealing with this far-left bill for months, but Schumer claims that the results from the 2020 election prove the necessity of passing the Heroes Act as a "starting point" on a new round of coronavirus relief legislation. Yesterday on "Washington Watch," FRC President Tony Perkins spoke with House minority whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) to discuss the Heroes Act and the Democrats' latest attempt to push it through Congress.
Commerce Wants Fed Tax Dollars for Staff Time Spent on COVID-19
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
The S.C. Department of Commerce doesn’t employ any medical or infectious disease experts, but the agency is seeking $250,000 in federal funds to reimburse itself for staff time spent on coronavirus-related tasks.
The state earlier this year received $1.9 billion in federal “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security” (CARES) funds. Under a state law passed in May, state agencies must provide monthly reports to the governor and General Assembly on federal spending related to the COVID-19 outbreak in South Carolina.
