GOOD NEWS: moments ago, SC DHEC announced that effective this coming Monday, March 8th, South Carolina will move into Phase 1B of the state's vaccination plan. *** TEACHERS and anyone 55 and older - this includes you! There are some additional categories of people who are also in Phase 1B - you'll want to check on the SC DHEC website for details. Again, it's not… Read more »

The Democrats’ hallmark piece of legislation for the new Congress is on the agenda this week – H.R. 1. This is the ultra-liberal election bill I first warned you about a couple weeks ago. It’s a complete disaster – let’s walk through a few reasons why: It requires states to allow people to register ON election day, which of course will give election officials NO TIME to validate the… Read more »

The so-called “Equality Act” is up for a vote again this afternoon. (H.R. 5). This bill isn’t about equality at all – it’s about advancing the radically liberal agenda. And I’ll be voting AGAINST it in just a few minutes. Here’s why: We could start with some easy layups, like this bill making end-runs around parents when it comes to their children receiving life-altering (and… Read more »

The communist government of China is no friend of ours. They’re working every possible angle to exploit various aspects of our economy, steal our intellectual property, and create a one-way reliance on their country which they intend to leverage for political and military gain.   Three quick updates on this communist regime:   FIRST, finally some good news out of… Read more »

This week, the House is considering yet another coronavirus spending bill.  This will be in addition to the $4 TRILLION that’s already been allocated.  Never mind that more than a trillion of that hasn’t even been spent yet – Democrats want to add another $1.9 trillion to the tab. Remember all this coronavirus money is borrowed from our children – we don’t have this sitting… Read more »

It looks like Democrats want to bring back earmarks. Does everyone remember those? Let’s back up just a minute and talk about “appropriations” in Congress, which is the process of allocating your tax dollars to specific government functions. The Constitution places this responsibility directly on Congress. Every year in the House, we’re supposed to craft 12 appropriations bills – each… Read more »

You’ll probably hear a lot in the coming weeks about a dreadful bill in the House known as H.R. 1. This is the Democrats’ signature piece of legislation this Congress – hence their designation as H.R. #1.   Informally it’s known as the “For the People Act.” Because who would ever vote against something that’s “for the people,” right? Well, I’ll be voting against this… Read more »

Let’s talk about why a $15/hour minimum wage is inappropriate at the federal level.   This is relevant right now because Democrats just rammed a $15/hr. federal minimum wage through a House committee. They want to mandate that businesses pay a minimum of $15, and are trying to bake that requirement into their next massive stimulus bill. (Which we can’t afford, but more on… Read more »

Good news, but with some concerns... Starting tomorrow (Monday), South Carolinians aged 65 and older will be able to schedule appointments for the COVID-19 vaccine. Previously, the age group was 70 and older.    While SC DHEC has a website (see link below) and a toll-free phone number (866) 365-8110, you **cannot** actually schedule an appointment using either of these… Read more »

We don’t have a right NOT to be offended. Nobody’s entitled to being sheltered or protected from things they dislike or disagree with. Most conservatives inherently understand this. Our choice in these situations is either to ignore that individual, or better yet, engage with our own ideas and our own thoughts.   In other words, in these situations, “the remedy to be… Read more »
