Is a Local Greenville County Republican Officer Having Issues with Gynophobia?
- By James Spurck, Publisher
GCRP’s State Executive Committeeman Jeff Davis Is Passing Out “No Trespass Notices” to Women Who Are Starting to Ask Serious Questions
According to Oxford, Gynophobia is a fear of women. This word comes from the Greek word γυνή - gunē, meaning "woman" and φόβος - phobos, "fear". Hyponyms of the term "gynophobia" include feminophobia. According to Wikipedia, Gynophobia or gynephobia is a morbid fear of women, a type of specific social phobia.
While as Greenville County Republican Party’s Chairman for the last two years and now currently as GCRP's State Executive Committeeman, Jeff Davis has been pushing County Executive Committeemen and precinct officers to come visit, what he started while chairman, the weekly Coffee and Politics gatherings. He would chide those who disagree with him for not coming to ask him questions and discuss their concerns. He claimed the purpose was transparency, openness, and his approachability.

Over 1,000 School Districts Hiding Students’ Gender Identities from Parents
- By S.A. McCarthy - The Washington Stand
A new report is sounding the alarm on the growing number of schools embracing transgender ideology and keeping parents in the dark. According to Parents Defending Education, at least 1,040 U.S. school districts have adopted policies instructing or encouraging faculty and staff to keep students’ gender identities a secret from parents. Those districts include over 18,000 schools responsible for nearly 11 million students. The vast majority of those school districts (593) are in California.
South Carolina’s Conspicuous Record of Gallantry

36 Medal of Honor Winners from 1861 to 2020
Several years ago, I was invited to give a presentation on my book on the Civil War—The Un-Civil War: Shattering the Historical Myths, published in 2011—to a group of the Sons of Confederate Veterans in Pickens, South Carolina. Pickens is a small town of about 3,400 population, but it is the county seat of Pickens County. Pickens County has a modest population of 131,000, and its largest town, Easley, has a modest but prosperous population of 23,000. As I walked into the public building where the meeting was to be held, I was astonished to see the photos of four Pickens County men who had been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor:
Civilization’s Interregnum - Part 2
- By W.H. Lamb
The Dissolution Of The Old United States Of America
(A continuation of a lecture by a fictional “history professor” to a class of young adults, sometime in the 32nd Century).
THE BREAKUP OF THE OLD UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AIDED BY MILITARY FORCES OF THE “CHIN” EMPIRE.
“In our last class we discussed the beginnings of the dissolution of the country once known as ‘The United States of America’, starting with its Civil War that began, as far as we can determine, around the year 2030 A.D., a war that was fomented by what I referred to as ‘militia groups’ and ‘frustrated military commanders’ who considered themselves loyal to the “We The People” constitution that had governed that nation for at least a quarter of a millennia, as near as can be determined from the scant historical records that survived the Nationality Wars and the Dark Time, events that we believe ended the Christian civilization of that time, between 500 to 600 years ago.
Cancel Culture: Governor Using Stealth to Try to Put Through Red Flag Gun Confiscation
- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center
My dear friend, Lucinda Sheth, who is politically active, but not a radical in any sense, has addressed the recent Tennessee issue of a “Special Session to push for an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO)”, better known as Red Flag Law. 1, 2 This session was called by Governor Lee because his ERPO was shot down during the normal Legislature session. This is another sneaky way our governments (local, state, and federal) are making laws without going through the proper channels. Ms. Sheth is right on for calling him out.
House Freedom Caucus Demands Government Spending Restraints
- By Eagle Forum
Appropriate Demands for Appropriations
All has been quiet in the halls of Congress since Members returned home for August recess. This time is officially called a District Work period and there are still conversations happening with the media and with each other on the upcoming agenda. One particular issue that is time-sensitive and very much in the spotlight is the appropriations process – the annual ritual in which Congress must hammer out just how much of your money the federal government will spend over the upcoming year. Once back in Washington, D.C., the House and Senate will have twelve days to pass twelve appropriations bills or face a government shutdown.

COVID is On the Rise Again: Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Panic
- By Yusuf JP Saleeby MD & Dr. Keith Berkowitz - The FLCCC Alliance Community
A new COVID variant is gaining ground in the United States. You’ve probably been hearing about it in the news, and we’ve certainly been seeing it in our patients in recent weeks. Here’s what you need to know about it, how to protect yourself, and how to treat it if you do get sick.
First of all, DO NOT PANIC.
EG.5 — also known as the "Eris" variant — certainly seems to be highly contagious, but from what we’re seeing it is less virulent. In other words, it’s a lot like the Omicron variants we’ve seen recently — lots of cases, but not a lot of extreme illness or hospitalization.
If you’ve been exposed to the virus before, you likely have some natural ability to fight it off. We are finding that patients who have not been previously exposed are the ones hit hardest right now.
Could Mask Mandates and COVID Hysteria be Making a Comeback?
- By Peter LaBarbera - WND
'I will never comply with any new mandates, lockdowns and will not be wearing that stupid mask'
With new COVID variants, including BA.2.86 and EG.5, in the news, the same media and activists on the Left who were most fanatical about masks and other heavy-handed COVID policies during the pandemic are now pushing mask mandates again.
Conservatives warned it could be a precursor to a return to oppression in the name of fighting COVID, and vowed collectively not to "comply."
'I Have a Dream' Turns 60
- By Alveda King
Monday, August 28, 2023 marks the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington, where over a quarter million people gathered and heard my Uncle Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - fondly remembered by yours truly as "Uncle M. L." - deliver his famous "I Have a Dream Speech."
"It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." Martin Luther King, Jr. August 28, 1968
Politicians Make a Mockery Out of 'Emergency' Spending
- By Veronique de Rugy
Remember how, mere months ago, the debt-ceiling deal struck between Democrats and Republicans to avoid a government shutdown was touted as "an historic first step toward shifting government back toward common sense and conservatism?" The hope was that the spending caps in the deal would actually constrain spending. Well, it took less than two months for politicians to start evading the caps with an old trick: emergency spending.
Roommates for Life - NGU Freshmen Continue Legacy
- By Billy Cannada - NGU
Twenty-six years after moving into their Horton-Tingle dorm on North Greenville University’s (NGU) Tigerville campus, Sallie Kinard (’01) and Jennifer Padgett (’00) were back in the same room where they’d spent four years together.
Only this time, they were there to drop off their daughters, Riley Belle and Mattie.
“Walking through the dorm with the girls was really cool,” Sallie said. “It just takes you back. You’re re-living those moments, which were some of the best moments of my life.”
Friends since high school, Jennifer and Sallie decided to attend college together in 1997.

'Faith in Jesus Christ Alone': How Americans Agreed Christianity Is Core to Conservatism
- By S.A. McCarthy - The Washington Stand
In the years leading up to the birth of the nation we know as America, political discourse was exercised in pubs, in the pages of newspapers, in the town square, and on the steps outside courthouses. The patriots who forged America would define and refine together what liberty means and what responsibilities are carried with it, how men are governed and by what authority, and what a nation is and what it means to be an American.
Today, that same patriotic spirit that burns in the hearts of conservatives articulates itself largely on social media. On Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and even on less mainstream sites like Gab or former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social, conservatives carry on the work of their forefathers and clarify ideologies, debate traditions, and ask what it means to be an American conservative. Just as early American patriots made their voices heard in the streets of Boston, Philadelphia, and Annapolis, so American conservatives made their voices heard on Twitter last week, resoundingly declaring that Christianity is core to conservatism.
Get US Out! of the United Nations
- By The John Birch Society
The United Nations is planning a “Summit of the Future” to take place in New York City next year.
This summit is designed to dramatically expand UN power over humanity — under the guise of fighting emergencies, protecting the planet, and more — at the expense of freedom and national sovereignty. This is a major stepping stone to one-world government — the original goal and intent of the UN’s very existence. Indeed, from its very beginning, the UN’s very purpose was to establish a one-world government at the expense of its members’ sovereignty, and it continues to push for ultra-globalist policies.
First Principle for Debaters: Connect With Voters
- By Star Parker
As I noted in my column of several weeks ago, it's a plus for everyone that Donald Trump will not show for the Republican debate.
And now it's official. He's not showing up.
Now we can have a debate about issues and not about Trump.
Let's also keep in mind, regarding the debate, Republican voters must be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
Why Has Biden Declared War on Natural Gas?
- By Stephen Moore
Natural gas is the world's wonder fuel: cheap, abundant, made in America, reliable AND clean burning.
So why are the Biden administration and environmental groups against it? There's really no good answer.
What makes the Left's war against natural gas inexplicable is that the single biggest factor in reducing carbon emissions into the atmosphere has been the increased reliance on natural gas for electric power generation as we transition slowly away from coal. (By the way, emissions from coal plants have been dramatically reduced as well, which is one reason why the air that we breathe today is much cleaner than the air 20 or 50 or 100 years ago.)
Commanding Wall Street Journal Op-Ed Supports Arlington Confederate Memorial
- By Gene Kizer, Jr., Charleston Athenaeum Press
"... during the Civil War, four slave states remained in the Union—Maryland, Delaware, Missouri and Kentucky—and none of them were required to give up slavery during the entire war. And that in every major battle of the Civil War, slave owners in the Union Army fought against non-slave-owners in the Confederate Army. . . . in the eyes of a Confederate soldier, if Lincoln had not freed slaves in the Union, why should the soldier be vilified for supposedly fighting on behalf of slavery?" - Jim Webb, Wall Street Journal, August 19, 2023
Former U.S. senator from Virginia and Navy secretary, writes an excellent piece that appeared August 19, 2023 entitled "Save the Confederate Memorial at Arlington" (scroll down for a PDF)
We will save or lose the 109 year old Confederate Reconciliation Memorial in the next few weeks
Note by Gene Kizer, Jr. - Before Elizabeth Warren and her Woke naming commission can desecrate Arlington National Cemetery by demolishing the 109 year old Confederate Reconciliation Memorial, they must follow the Section 106 process required by the National Historic Preservation Act and the National Environmental Policy Act.
Abiogenesis, a Thermodynamic Impossibility
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
A common creationist argument against abiogenesis is that it violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics based on the fact that abiogenesis would require a huge reduction and entropy, and the second law indicates that entropy increases. The evolutionist response is that this is not true because the Earth is an open system and gets energy from the sun which can allow entropy to decrease locally. This response is correct, but the evolutionists making this response are using energy like a magic wand. They act as if all you need to do is apply energy to a system and its entropy will magically decrease.

A Ukrainian Version of Greek Tragedy
Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelensky was born of Russian-speaking Jewish parents on January 25, 1978, in Kryvyi Rih (Russian, Krivoy Rog), a city of over 600,000 in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast of Ukraine, which is one of nine predominantly Russian-speaking oblasts in eastern and southern Ukraine. His parents had science and engineering educational and vocational backgrounds. He grandfather, Simon Zelensky, served in the Red Army during World War II, rising in rank from private to colonel. Many of his relatives were killed by the German Army during the Holocaust. By age 17, however, Volodymyr Zelensky was actively participating in comedy routines. After receiving a degree in law from Kyiv National Economic University, he began a career as an actor and comedian.
'Impeach Robert L. Peters': Congressman, Perkins Agree It's Time for Biden Impeachment Inquiry
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
Deepening the ongoing presidential corruption scandal, emails obtained from the federal government show that then-Vice President Joe Biden maintained email addresses under numerous false names, including “Robert L. Peters,” which interacted with Hunter Biden about Ukraine and presidential appointments. The documents come to light as congressional Republicans edge closer to holding impeachment hearings — a step a leading congressman calls “long past” due and which a conservative leader says pro-family advocates should strongly support.
Are These The “New” Times That Try Men’s Souls? Is This Our New “American Crisis”?
- By W.H. Lamb
“If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands I will give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of Earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.”
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 NIV (Deuteronomy was George Washington’s favorite Book of the Bible).
“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated….
