Project Esther: A Dangerous Threat to Free Speech and Democracy

Posted July 28, 2025 in Community Voices, News
Share
In recent months, Project Esther has been quietly but aggressively promoted by the Heritage Foundation as a National Strategy to Combat Antisemitism. On the surface, this may sound like a noble and necessary cause. But beneath the surface lies a much more troubling reality—one that poses a clear threat not just to those speaking out…

Every Accusation is a Confession: The MAGA Strategy to Rig Elections and Silence Voters

Posted July 10, 2025 in Community Voices, News
Share
The Big Lie Has Always Been the Plan Donald Trump didn’t just start claiming elections were rigged in 2020—it started in 2012 when he called President Obama’s re-election a “total sham.” There was no evidence then. There was none in 2016 when he said Ted Cruz “stole” the Iowa caucus. And there certainly wasn’t in 2020. The…

Sliced from the Budget: Fruits, Veggies, and Basic Human Decency

Posted June 16, 2025 in Community Voices
Share
In an impressive display of priorities, House Republicans recently proposed slashing funding to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)—because apparently, nothing says "fiscal responsibility" like taking veggies away from toddlers. WIC, for those unfamiliar, is a federally funded program that provides nutritional support, breastfeeding services, and access to health care referrals…

Let’s Talk Trump and Bananas!

Posted May 26, 2025 in Community Voices
Share
We're going to discuss Trump and his tariffs—specifically how they affect banana prices and the supply process. But first, let’s talk about what this “whack-a-do” has done—or not done. How about immigration? You know, the “millions and millions of rapists, murderers, and criminals” that, according to Trump, “Biden let into our country.” Now Trump says he’ll…

Posted May 19, 2025 in Community Voices

What’s Next? I’ve been trying to decide what message is most important to me—what I wanted to write about next. There’s so much to choose from these days. From the dismantling of USAID—which not only causes profound suffering globally but also negatively impacts our own interests—to the ongoing threats to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, librarians,…

Posted April 30, 2025 in Community Voices

After decades of being “on the outs” in Horry County, we Democrats have a real shot at making history on November 3, 2026. Recent national polls show Trump’s support is dropping rapidly—even here in “Solid Red” South Carolina.

Signalgate and a Predictable Lack of Accountability

Posted March 31, 2025 in Community Voices, News
Share
As news broke recently about top defense and intelligence officials leaking plans for an attack on the Houthis in Yemen, over the messaging app Signal, one could only wonder how the Trump Administration would react. Predictably, any semblance of accountability was avoided by luminaries such as Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and Mike Waltz. Also predictably,…
