Secondly, Smith wants to argue that she was not in her right mind as a young mom — and that she may have suffered from undiagnosed mental illness. She was a 22-year-old mom when she let her car roll into John D. Long Lake in Union County, South Carolina, with her boys — 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander — still strapped into their car seats. It’s an argument Smith has used before. “I am not the monster society thinks I am,” she wrote in a letter from jail to reporters at The State in 2015. “Something went very wrong that...

A boy is back home and on the mend after his father kidnapped him in May and set a car on fire with the child still inside. Bennett Dornellas, 3, suffered third-degree burns on 90 percent of his body, but was still pictured smiling in the days before his release Monday. His father, 32-year-old Joshua Bennett Dornellas, was arrested after leading deputies on a chase that began in South Caroline and ended in Georgia with the car engulfed in flames. It began with the violent assault of Bennett and his mother at the family's home in Anderson County, cops said...

A man who killed two people in cold blood uttered just one word before he was executed in a South Carolina prison on Friday - the state's first in 13 years. Freddie Owens said 'bye' to his attorney and was then strapped into a gurney where he awaited the lethal injection that led to his ultimate demise. Owens remained conscious for a minute before his eyes closed, his breaths shortened and his face twitched for five minutes before he died. The 46-year-old killed convenience store clerk Irene Graves during a botched robbery in Greenville in 1997. During his trial, he...

The left has been seriously embarrassed by the stories of communist atrocities, corruption and monumental failures that have been pouring out of Eastern Europe since the collapse of the communist regimes there. The carefully cultivated image of communists as honest humanitarians dedicated to helping the poor and downtrodden has been thoroughly demolished. But American leftists are fighting back, trying to counter these stories by calling attention to the alleged sins and crimes of the United States. Hence the success of a recent disinformation operation that resulted in a spate of stories in U.S. newspapers and magazines charging that the our...

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said that “everybody” accused 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris of being “too far to the right of center” when she ran for president the last time, but she’s really “right where the vast majority of the American people are.” Clyburn said, “[I]t’s kind of interesting, if you go back and look at her candidacy, back in 2019, before she dropped out of that race, everybody was saying at the time that she was too far to the right of center. Then, all of a sudden,...

My husband and I are thinking of relocating to Greenville, SC or west of that area. Does anyone have any recommendations of areas and neighborhoods we should be looking? We would like to be in a nice, established area that is close to conveniences. Pretty much a good area to walk our dogs and not too far out in the country - it would be nice to be 10-15 minutes from restaurants, grocery stores and other shopping. We live on the coast of NC and would like to move inland away from the Hurricane Alley. Many thanks for any input!

Tuesday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called Democrat vice-presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) “despicable” for taking a pass on responding to a question on the six slain hostages in Gaza. “So when you look at Israel in particular here, this administration has withheld armed shipments, and they haven’t gotten much especially compared to — especially compared to Ukraine,” host Sean Hannity said. “She — they have constantly called for restraint, restraint, restraint. They have blamed Israel, and they’ve done everything but what they should do, and that’s the right thing which say which would say, well, you...

Included on that list were Christine Todd Whitman, a former New Jersey governor who later helped create the Forward Party, and William Weld, a former Massachusetts governor who ran as Gary Johnson’s vice presidential nominee...

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the Democratic Nation Convention was a “hatefest full of insults.” Host Jake Tapper said, “Millions of viewers tuned in a bit more than tuned into the Republican convention. It was disciplined. It was well well-produced, it conveyed patriotism and unity. The Harris campaign says it’s raised an eye-popping $540,000,000 in 35 days. You are as close to Donald Trump as anyone is what he saw this week making him in his campaign nervous at all?”

Staff at a facility for abused women and children unknowingly sheltered a transgender woman for weeks before she stabbed a warden so viciously her 'internal organs were exposed', police say. Michelle Silva Perez was offered a place at Shepherd's Gate in Greenville, South Carolina, less than four miles from a men's shelter also run by Miracle Hill Ministries. The 36-year-old had been evicted the evening before for 'not following the guidelines of the facility' but returned on July 18 armed with a sword before nearly disemboweling a staffer called Kirby. 'We found out last night that this attacker, who had...

James Clyburn (D-SC) stated that he hopes Republicans will tie 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris to President Joe Biden’s record.

I know you’re very proud of the Biden administration record, but Republicans are absolutely going to try to hang elements of it around her neck going forward.”
