Republican Rep. Tom Rice lost his solidly conservative South Carolina House seat Tuesday after nearly a decade in Congress, which included his vote to impeach former President Donald Trump over the Jan. 6 riots. SOUTH CAROLINA PROVIDES NEXT TEST OF TRUMP'S ENDORSEMENT POWER Although Rice repeated his support for many Trump policies as he campaigned across South Carolina's 7th Congressional District, from Myrtle Beach to the Pee Dee region, he defended his decision to impeach Trump as "the principled stance." "My opinion is that our Constitution is too precious to risk," he said during the district's five-way Republican debate. Trump...

Family members of murder defendant Isaiah Rivera-Perez and shooting victim Jaiden Connor filled nearly every seat in a Hillsborough County Superior Court hearing room Tuesday morning as a trial opened that will hinge on the state’s self-defense law. Homicide prosecutor Nicholas Chong Yen showed the jury a home security video that captures Connor, 17, running down Central Street and collapsing, where police found him with a bullet hole in his back. “He shot Jaden Connor in the back. He shot Jaden Connor while Jaden was running away from him,” said Chong Yen, an assistant New Hampshire attorney general. “That is...

Sports Illustrated has been taking a beating on social media after it criticized a Supreme Court case centered on religious freedom. As Breitbart News profiled, Sports Illustrated waded into political waters on Monday with an article by Greg Bishop bashing the Supreme Court case centered on Bremerton High School assistant coach Joe Kennedy, who was sanctioned by his school district in 2015 for praying on the field with his players. Tellingly, Bishop argued that Kennedy’s potential win in court could be an “erosion” of American democracy. “This Sports Illustrated article is little else but a long smear against Christians, conservatives,...

It’s unsettling enough to confront moral relativism as an abstract idea, but it’s downright chilling to see it in real people who let it dictate their lives. ...

The Democrat National Committee had to reschedule its Woman’s Leadership Forum fundraiser with Vice President Kamala Harris for lack of ticket sales. “The event was rescheduled last minute for the autumn, when the event is traditionally held, after the event couldn’t sell enough tickets,” Status Coup News reported. “When the invites were sent out on May 5, it was hyped as an incredible opportunity to mingle in person after two years of virtual events and meetings.” Ticket prices range from $250 to $50,000, according to the report. DNC spokesperson Daniel Wessel is on record claiming Kamala Harris is a huge...

Investigative reporter Luke Rosiak has posted an amazing thread showing the kind of grifters who are introducing Marxist racism into American education. Luke Rosiak has been paying close attention to the race hustlers making money going into American schools and teaching children that Whites are evil and Blacks are the victims of this evil. On Tuesday, he posted a few Twitter items that expose some of the worst grifters pushing these toxins into the American system—and making lots of money doing so. First up is Glenn Singleton, who founded the Pacific Educational Group: The attached docs show the actual bizarre...

The parents of a four-year-old boy are suing a Texas hospital for $500,000 after he was mistakenly given a vasectomy during surgery to treat a hernia on his groin. Before the surgery, the boy, only identified in court documents as 'R.B,' complained of of right-sided swelling in his scrotum that would worsen in the evenings when Dr. Susan L Jarosz recommended a right inguinal hernia repair in August 2021, according to ABC 13. The surgery, conducted at the Texas Children's Hospital, was scheduled for August 4, 2021, but when trying to remove the hernia, court documents say, Jarosz also cut...

It's a run-down former saloon. Working guys come here for cheap grub. The evening special is roast pork with apple sauce and mashed potatoes. About 5:20, two tough, contemptuous men show up to wait for something. They don't care what anybody might guess about their plans or who else might walk in. The two men are professional killers, one of them armed with a sawed-off shotgun. They are casual about insulting regular people and bossing them around. One killer goes in the back, the kitchen, and ties up the cook and another fellow who happens to be there. The mood...

With US gasoline prices hovering near record $5 per gallon nationwide, analysts have said demand destruction has already set in. "One could argue that demand destruction for gasoline has already started ...

The Japanese yen is at its weakest point in two decades. A year ago, the dollar was worth 110 yen. Now it is worth 135. Japan’s central bank is increasingly hearing calls to hike up interest rates à la the Federal Reserve, despite its historically accommodative monetary stance. To help explain the backstory, here is an excerpt from the Finance section of The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Long before the world wars, even long before America’s Admiral Perry forced Japan open to the world, the Japanese had a unique view of debt. In Japan capital exists...

A pro-life Republican politician had his office firebombed on Monday, the latest in a spate of attacks against pregnancy centers and pro-life officials in the wake of a bombshell leaked Supreme court draft opinion that would overturn Roe v Wade. Andrew Barkis, a Republican representing the Olympia in the Washington state legislature, had his Olympia office attacked around 4 a.m. Monday's attack was the 17th so far on a pregnancy support clinic or an office of a pro-life figure. It was not clear whether he was deliberately attacked for his beliefs. The same group of people were also seen ransacking...

Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin wrote an acclaimed book called Team of Rivals in which she described Abraham Lincoln’s recruitment of the ablest men of the time for his cabinet. We are witness to the exact opposite. Joe Biden seems intent on assembling a team of the least able. I’m calling it Team of Fools. I have written extensively about Biden’s shortcomings. Nothing exceeds his capacity for choosing the wrong people. It would be difficult to zero in on Biden’s worst choice, but his Homeland Security Secretary would be a good candidate. Alejandro Mayorkas has me somewhat confused. I can’t tell...

National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd criticized open border "activists" within the White House Tuesday for the migrant crisis at the southern border. On "America's Newsroom," Judd argued President Biden and his staff "do not care" about the issues created by illegal immigration like drug smuggling, human trafficking and economic strain so long as they achieve their political agenda.

Multiple “Republican” incumbents in the South Carolina House of Representatives were defeated in the GOP primary election on Tuesday evening – although several of these vulnerable politicians managed to hang on against spirited primary challenges. Arguably the biggest name to fall? Former House ways and means chairman Brian White – a fiscal liberal who was handily defeated by challenger April Cromer in the race for S.C. House District 6 in Anderson County. With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Cromer received 2,565 votes (or 59.64 percent of all ballots cast) compared to White’s 1,736 votes (40.36 percent). As I noted in...

More than 100 Republicans who won their 2022 primary elections have supported and amplified Donald Trump’s baseless assertion that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, a fraudulent claim that fuelled riots at the US Capitol and is central to a House committee investigation into the attack. An analysis from The Washington Post, reviewing the field of candidates in this year’s races through 7 June primaries, has so far found that voters picked seven candidates for US Senate, 82 candidates for the House of Representatives, five for governor, four for state attorney general and one for secretary of state...

Diesel prices are setting records, nationwide, as a gallon of the fuel now averages $5.72 as of Wednesday. Drivers fueling up at a truck stop in east Houston said the pain at the pump is crippling as rising prices force some to park their rigs. Houstonian Raymond Mayberry said he’s been a truck driver since 2003. He’s a self-employed trucker. Even with the help of fuel-saving apps and a rewards program at the truck stop, Mayberry said he’s counting “every penny” because the almost-daily rise in diesel price affects his bottom line. “It comes out of our profit. If you...
