Lynch Announces Bid to Unseat Graham
- Details
- By Terry M. Thacker
A near-capacity crowd filled the chapel room in the back of the Jeff Lynch appliance store on Monday to cheer on their champion, store owner Mark Lynch, as he officially announced a run to take the US Senate seat currently held by South Carolina senior senator Lindsey Graham, who has held that office since 2003.
After a few introductory remarks from Lynch's wife, Sara, an opening prayer by Lynch's pastor, Tim Huckabee of Burnsview Baptist Church, and an introduction by constitutional scholar Evan Mulch, Lynch spent the next fifty minutes making his case as to why he should be elected to office.
Lynch received a standing ovation at both the beginning and the ending of his remarks.
SCFC Statement on the 2025 Budget
- Details
- By Jordan Pace - Chairman of SC Freedom Caucus
TLDR: We want to spend less of your money
The South Carolina Freedom Caucus remains committed to ensuring that our state government prioritizes its core responsibilities: delivering justice, maintaining critical infrastructure, and protecting citizens' rights. Unfortunately, instead of focusing on these essential functions, state leadership is pushing for massive funding increases for non-essential programs—such as “Electric Vehicle Training” and an additional $100 million annually for EV industry scholarships. These proposals stand in direct opposition to President Trump’s agenda of cutting spending and reducing government overreach. We must reject Biden’s Green New Deal policies disguised as state initiatives.
Proposed Hotel Complex on Paris Mountain
- Details
- By Frank Holleman - President, Naturaland Trust
EDITOR: The following letter was sent to the Mayor and City Councilmen of the City of Travelers Rest.
----------------------
Dear Mayor Amidon and Members of Council:
I am writing you on behalf of Naturaland Trust to convey our perspective on the proposed hotel development on the face of Paris Mountain on Altamont Road. We understand that no application has been submitted to you as of yet, but from press reports the developer intends to do so. We write to urge you to reject this proposal if it is presented to you.
First, let me emphasize that Naturaland Trust has for decades enjoyed working with neighborhoods and families around Travelers Rest and with the City of Travelers Rest to protect special places and the beautiful natural heritage of the area. Among other things, Naturaland Trust and the members of its Board have played key roles in establishing Poinsett Park; acquiring and opening the Swamp Rabbit Trail; acquiring key segments of the Swamp Rabbit Trail both south and north of Travelers Rest; protecting the Spring Park Inn; and protecting a number of properties around Travelers Rest, including nature preserves for the endangered Bunched Arrowhead and conserved properties along the Saluda Rivers. We have also worked successfully with Council and the City’s Planning Commission to protect populations of the Bunched Arrowhead when developments have been proposed in the City and are in the process of cleaning up and restoring the preserve to be established at the corner of Coleman and East Bowers Road.
USAID Funded Beginning of Ukraine War in 2014
- Details
- By Mike Scruggs
CIA-Related Agency for Color Revolutions and Regime Changes
The US Agency for International Development (USAID) may sound like the leading edge of a generous and enlightened US foreign Policy. It may have been just that when founded by President John F. Kennedy in 1961. It’s original goal was to counter the influence of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and advance US foreign policy interests through socioeconomic development. It has in the past been funded by Congress as an independent Agency under the supervision of the President, Secretary of State, and National Security Council. Over the years it has become a largely secret and independent Deepstate agency tied to aggressive State Department foreign policy closely tied to the CIA. In this regard, it has evolved into an aggressive funder of Color Revolutions and regime changes designed to maintain US control of international affairs. Color Revolutions are US or allied attempts to overthrow, intimidate, or control nations out-of-step with US foreign and economic policy and assure US military dominance and hegemony. In recent years, USAID has also funded propaganda and training programs for pushing liberal gender ideology and Marxist DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusiveness) ideology. The fiscal year 2025 Congressional budget for USAID is about $40 billion but has been subject only to limited Congressional control.
Americans Rush to Enlist in Trump’s Military Recruitment Boom
- Details
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
The Trump team may be slashing and burning lots of government jobs, but there’s one agency that’s been hanging a “We’re hiring” shingle for four years: the U.S. military. In yet another sign that the long and embarrassing chapter of the Biden administration is over, young men and women apparently can’t enlist fast enough, spiking recruitment numbers that had been at their lowest levels since World War II. Apparently, voters aren’t the only ones eager to exchange a commander in woke for a commander in chief.
We Must Be Living In “The Twilight Zone” - Part 2
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Last time we delved a bit into twenty-one reasons to prove that, beyond reasonable doubt, we Americans have been living in a version of Rod Sterling’s “The Twilight Zone” at least for the past four years, and probably for much longer. A valid case can be made, in my opinion, that our nation and its somewhat “willingly deceived” citizens have been living in that not-so-far-fetched “zone” for much longer than the past four years. How else are we to judge the reasons why we Americans have allowed the severe degradation of our once noble and mostly Christian-oriented national culture? Think about it.
The Reign of the Department of Un-Education is Ending
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
Department of Ed Counts Its Days
For more than four decades, Eagle Forum and the conservative movement have called for the Department of Education to be abolished. Since its opening in 1979, radical teachers unions, and leftist politicians have used this agency to push their political ideology into America’s classroom and overstep states’ rights. Young minds have been poisoned, parents’ rights have been eroded and test scores have failed to improve. The pandemic allowed parents to see exactly what their kids were (and sadly were not) learning for the first time in years. In response, they showed up at school board meetings to demand changes in the education system. President Donald Trump has been fulfilling his promises to make American education great again in recent weeks.
It's Morning in America, Again!
- Details
- By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. - Arizona Today
Donald J. Trump has been President only 3 weeks as I write this commentary, but you have to admit it seems longer, and surely your head has been spinning like so very many across America, and the world! He claimed consistently over the past years, then while campaigning, and in his first address as President, he intended to Make America Great Again, he intended to bring America back from the cliff we were surely inches from falling over, and he would restore a constitutional form of government that was clearly responsive to the will of the people as our founders created. To accomplish this, President Trump works at break-neck speed to reduce the dangerous budget deficit and out-of-control spending which Congress appears to care less about, and to rid the federal government of all the leeches deep inside each federal department. Slashing here and there, the mission is to, as quickly as possible, reduce the out-of-control spending and get rid of the swamp creatures deeply imbedded within federal departments everywhere!

The Plan is Working...
- Details
- By SC Freedom Caucus
We’ve often been asked what are the end goals of the South Carolina Freedom Caucus. Ultimately, we want good, strong, conservative policies that will make SC better for everyone. How often we accomplish that is by staking out those good, strong, conservative positions even when many of our fellow Republican colleagues in the House aren’t quite ready to take those principled positions yet. (See picture below from our original DEI fight in 2023)

Paris Mountain Hotel Developer Wants to Circumvent Greenville County’s Land Use Protection Laws
- Details
- By James Spurck, Publisher
Plans Are in Place to Ask City of Travelers Rest to Take Land from Greenville County for a Proposed Hotel
Within one week, over 8,000 Greenville citizens have signed a petition protesting a proposal for a massive hotel on Paris Mountain called The Inn at Altamont.
It appears that the developer, The Divine Group, is attempting to circumvent and bypass specific county regulations that protect the land use of Paris Mountain with, as Greenville County Councilman Steve Shaw put it, a “cherry-picking” tactic by seeking annexation into the city of Travelers Rest. This slick yet lawful move would allow their development plans to skirt the land-use protections placed by Greenville County, which has both Greenville and Travelers Rest residents upset.
Greenville Housing Fund Representatives Address Affordable Housing at First Monday
- Details
- By Terry M. Thacker
The goal of the Greenville Housing Fund is to achieve housing affordability for all, said Tiffany Santagati at the recent meeting of First Monday, a luncheon club for Greenville Republicans.
Santagati, the vice president for operations at the Fund, and Amber Stewart, Advocacy and Community Engagement Director, were the featured speakers at the luncheon which consisted of chicken breast, roasted sweet potatoes, and carrots.
The Fund, a non-profit entity, was established in 2018 to address what Santagati describes as a deficit in affordable housing in Greenville. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines affordable housing as housing (plus utilities) that costs no more than 30% of a household's gross income.
From the Olympics to the NCAA, the Ground under Trans Sports Crumbles
- Details
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
There are lots of questions about what the 2028 Olympics will look like after California’s wildfires, but one thing isn’t in doubt about the Los Angeles Games: men will not be stealing women’s medals. At least not if Donald Trump can help it.
On the same day that the president set fire to the radical trans sports agenda of the Biden administration, he announced that the Olympics would no longer be a gender free-for-all where women watch helplessly as men shatter their lifelong hopes and dreams. At the signing ceremony for his executive order to protect Title IX and girls’ sports, Trump was adamant that this high-speed train of trans extremism was about to be derailed everywhere — not just in American schools.

Mark Lynch Announces Bid to Replace 30-Year Incumbent ‘RINO’ Lindsey Graham
- Details
- By Press Release
Businessman Mark Lynch announced his bid today to replace United States Senator Lindsey Graham in Washington, D.C.
“Lindsey Graham has stabbed Donald Trump in the back repeatedly since 2016, he’s betrayed his oath as a Republican, has betrayed Republicans in South Carolina, he has betrayed Americans across this country for decades, and now is the time to end that,” Lynch said.
“Lindsey Graham kept his mouth shut while Republicans in the senate pushed the Russia Hoax against Donald Trump, he has spent decades pushing massive fraud, waste, and abuse with his pet project at USAID, he refused to fully fund the border wall when Republicans controlled both houses of Congress in 2017 and 2018, and he even joined Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in blaming Donald Trump for the January 6th fiasco,” Lynch explained.
'The War on Women's Sports Is Over': Latest Trump EO Protects Women's Sports
- Details
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
“From now on, women’s sports will be only for women,” said President Donald Trump on Wednesday afternoon, as he signed an executive order threatening to defund any school or university that forces women or girls to compete, or change in front of, male athletes.
“The war on women’s sports is over,” stated President Trump at the ceremony, repurposing the Democratic campaign slogan “war on women” against his foes. “We’re putting every school receiving taxpayers’ dollars on notice that if you let men take over women’s sports teams or invade your locker rooms, you will be investigated for violations of Title IX and risk your federal funding. There will be no federal funding.”
Elon Musk Should Take on Social Security
- Details
- By Star Parker
If I say that Elon Musk is the smartest, boldest, most creative entrepreneur in the world, I don't think I will get pushback.
President Donald Trump's move to bring him to Washington and put him at the top of a new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, to do the seemingly impossible -- to streamline a vastly outsized government spending behemoth -- injects hope that yes, maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Musk, the world's richest man, is not beholden to anyone, and so there is little danger of him getting bogged down and imprisoned in the Washington culture of politics and quid pro quo.
Unveiling the Secrets of the Oort cloud
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
If you have any interest in astronomy, you have probably heard of the Oort cloud. It is considered to be a large sphere of comet-like bodies orbiting the Sun and is claimed to be the source of long-period comets. The major problem with all the hype surrounding the Oort cloud is the fact that there is no actual evidence that it even exists.
The only reason why the Oort cloud is thought to exist is because of the fact that we still have long-period and short-period comets. This fact, particularly the short-period comets, is inconsistent with a solar system that is 4.5 billion years old. This was simply a solution proposed to deal with a piece of evidence that naturally points to a young solar system by placing an unobservable reservoir of comets at great distances from the sun.

A Very Useful Tool for Patriots to Learn About Important Bills and Communicate with Legislators
The 2025 legislative sessions in nearly all state legislatures are already well underway.
State legislatures are just as important as Congress — if not even more so — in protecting and restoring our individual, God-given freedoms. This year, legislatures across the nation will be debating bills on topics as diverse as nullification, Agenda 2030, election integrity, an Article V constitutional convention, and so much more.
Western NC Hurricane Recovery

- By Steven Hawkins - Greenville SC
Asheville and Western North Carolina, as of January 2025, are still in the process of recovery from the damage of Hurricane Helene. Many businesses and shops in Asheville and the region have been shut down and are struggling to rebuild with huge financial losses due to no tourists in the area. Some roads in Asheville have reopened, but the region is still facing long-term storm damage with infrastructure and economic losses; and the process to take years for the Asheville area to fully recover to how it used to be.
Nice hotel, but the Wrong Place and the Wrong Way of Doing Things

A Proposed TR Annexation of Luxury Hotel on Top of Paris Mountain
I oppose the luxury hotel proposal on Paris Mountain. While I can recognize the need for higher-end lodging in our area, Paris Mountain is unique and must be protected. Further, doing an end-around with a slick City of Travelers Rest cherry-pick annexation is wrong for our community.
Problems include:
- Trump Pentagon Dumps Taxpayer-Funded Abortion Travel after Tuberville’s Two-Year Fight
- McMaster's priorities: Reduced taxes, school choice, civil liability reform
