A man named Anming Hu was arrested and is to face trial for wire fraud and lying to U.S. authorities. He was a scientist at the Univ. of Tennessee, participating in federally funded research on nanotechnologies. The problem, however, is that he was also privately running a similar operation over in China. He's accused of hiding this inconvenient fact from U.S. authorities. All this… Read more »

For without their sacrifice – without their willingness to serve and pay the ultimate price – our nation would have surely perished generations ago. youtubeembedcode.com/de/ Google maps embed Read more »

On Friday, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) introduced the Safeguarding United States (SUS) Research Act in the House of Representatives. This legislation pertains to individuals who are granted nonimmigrant visas into the United States as well as their sponsors, who are typically academic institutions or other organizations. The SUS Research Act will require that visa… Read more »

The agenda outlined by President Biden on Wednesday night is a one-way ticket to a socialistic welfare state with astronomical taxes, and government encroaching on every aspect of our lives.  His vision for our nation involves growing the size of almost every corner of the federal government. (With the exception of our military, to nobody’s surprise.) There’s simply no room to talk… Read more »

Naturally the question is, what other “historic changes” could they have… Read more »

These are part of Joe Biden’s immigration agenda, and would create a pathway to citizenship for five MILLION illegal immigrants. Let’s back up a second and remind ourselves that since Biden was elected, illegal border crossings have skyrocketed. Why? Because the President… Read more »

In just the last several weeks, the Biden Administration has stopped construction of the border wall, suspended the removal of most people with active deportation orders, canceled our policy requiring asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while… Read more »

Earlier today, the Board of Trustees at the University of South Carolina announced the closure of the Confucius Institute (CI) on their campus. Recently, Rep. Ralph Norman (SC-5) and Rep. Joe Wilson (SC-2) have called on the University to take this action, and have been supported by Rep. Jeff Duncan (SC-3), Rep. Tom Rice, (SC-7), Rep.… Read more »

No surprises here. Let’s run through some of President Biden’s executive orders during his first week in office. These are campaign promises he’s making good on – we knew they’d be coming.   PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT: It’s basically a sham. There’s no objective standard – each country gets to define what it wants to do. Countries can lie six ways from Sunday about whether they’re… Read more »
