The OBBB in Bullet Points
In an incredible conclusion to over a year of planning, pushing, and politicking, the One Big, Beautiful Bill “OBBB” (H.R. 1) was signed into law on Independence Day last week. Some are calling it the “biggest conservative victory in 30 years.” Eagle Forum praised its passage in a press release saying, “The One Big, Beautiful Bill reins in decades of reckless spending, secures our nation’s borders, protects the most vulnerable among us, and provides tax relief for all American families.” The OBBB went through several iterations during that time, losing and gaining policies in various committees and floor votes. Here is a breakdown of the key provisions of the law President Trump signed at the July 4th celebration at the White House.
ACT NOW: Senate Armed Services Committee May Consider Two Dangerous Provisions
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
The Senate Armed Services Committee is beginning to draft the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This week, they will be marking it up in committee, where they can present amendments to add or strike language. In recent years, dangerous language has been inserted with the help of a few Republicans. We ask you to urge them not to make the same mistakes!
Previous Senate iterations of the NDAA included a provision that would require women ages 18-25 to register for the Selective Service. Senators ignored the fact that women do not have the same muscular and bone structures as men, and therefore, fewer women would be capable of qualifying for military service. Reports and studies have shown that men outperform women in strength and endurance. Even when they “meet the minimum requirements” for military service, women are injured at twice the rate of men, just as female athletes in high school and college sports suffer much higher rates of injury. Anyone sending young women off to war would be using them as cannon fodder.

Greenville County is growing by more than 20 people every single day. That growth brings a massive strain on roads, water, sewer, public safety, parks, and our schools.

Individual Choice vs Government Tyranny: The Debate Goes ON
- Details
- By Tom DeWeese - American Policy Center
In the Fall of 2006, I received a most unexpected invitation to travel to Cambridge University in Great Britain and take part in a debate before a 200-year-old debating society called the Cambridge Union. The issue we were to debate – “This House believes that the United Nations is a dead loss!” There was an issue I could easily get behind.
My opponents in the debate included Simon Hughes, a member of Parliament and President of the Liberal Democrats; Lord David Hanney, Former UK Ambassador to the UN; and Salil Shetty, Director of the UN’s Millennium Campaign. The two other debaters who were supposed to be on my side were both pro-UN leftists. So, it was a typical five-to-one debate.

- By Terry M. Thacker
Attorney General Alan Wilson, who has joined a crowded field in the race for the GOP nomination to be the next governor of South Carolina, made a stop at the Stax Original restaurant in Cherrydale this past Friday morning.
Wilson, accompanied by Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis, greeted and shook hands with diners enjoying their sausage, eggs, pancakes and coffee. He then took questions from the media who had gathered to cover his visit.
During his brief remarks, Wilson said that, as governor, he would work to “reform and revolutionize” the education system, including expanding access to technical colleges.
The 3 Most Important Votes of the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ Vote-a-Rama
- Details
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” moved closer to adoption overnight, as Senate Democrats attempted to load the bill with poison pill amendments in the “vote-a-rama.” During the lengthy amendment process, which began at 9 a.m. Monday morning and continues as of this writing, anyone may offer amendments to the 940-page bill. Senate changes have already made the bill less attractive to pro-life, pro-family conservatives. Yet the revised text also removes a controversial, 10-year moratorium on states regulating artificial intelligence.
Conservative Greenville County Councilmen Fought to Keep Their Campaign Promises

A Lack of Communication and Coalition was Clearly Seen among the Conservative Council Members
Following the recent tax hike approved by the previous Council in 2023, last year’s election led to a shake-up, with three council members being replaced due to the tax hike. During the election, candidates won on campaign promises to reverse some of the tax increases, bring transparency to the budget process, and limit the county administration's spending on what they called out-of-control spending.
They discovered within months how difficult that would be. During an approximately four-hour meeting on June 17, 2025, Greenville County Council officially approved its 2026 fiscal year budget of $488.5 million. Not to mention, the passage followed a contentious month-long process marked by passionate debates and struggles to fulfill campaign promises, ending with a final 8-4 vote (For: Russo, Farmer, Bradley, Blount, Seman, Mithcell, Fant, and Tripp; Against: Long, Shaw, McGahhey, and Collins).
