- By Press Release
Bob Jones Academy students participating in the various fine arts programs at BJA set off for the first fine arts tour to Washington, DC, in school history. 58 students who participate in art, band, choir, orchestra and speech, along with 10 faculty members and chaperones, participated in the four day trip.
During the tour, students visited the various memorials in DC and several museums. Additionally, they were given tours of the Pentagon, Library of Congress, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and Mount Vernon. Senator Tim Scott and Congressman Trey Gowdy spoke with the group and answered numerous questions and Congressman Jeff Duncan gave an “after hours” tour of the Capitol which included a visit to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, prayer in the members’ chapel and culminated with the singing of “Amazing Grace” in the capitol rotunda.
Secure SC Now
- By Johnnelle Raines - Pickens, SC
Every county council in SC needs a resolution that states their county does not want to participate in The Refugee Resettlement Program.
The U.S. used to be in charge of vetting the refugees we would accept.
But now roughly 95% of refugees to the United States are vetted by the United Nations.
The FBI has stated these refugees are from UN refugee camps AND it is impossible to adequately vet them.
The wealthiest gulf nations are not taking in refugees for fear to their national security…so why should we?
More Victims of “Gun Free Zones”
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
When asked why he robbed banks, a robber explained frankly, “because that is where the money is.”
Why do mass murderers choose schools to attack? It is because that is where large groups of unprotected potential innocent victims are.
Why do schools lock down when there is a crime committed in the area? It may be because criminals who fear being shot by police may be seeking safety in a gun free area.
Unless Greenville County Schools have a secret unannounced program that allows trained teachers and administrators inside schools to be armed, it is a matter of time before someone like the Oregon killer will target one of our schools and kill a classroom full of innocent students and teachers before a single resource officer or outside reaction force can react.
Cruz, Carson Tie for First Place in Greenville County Republican Straw Poll
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Sen. Ted Cruz and Dr. Ben Carson tied for first place in a poll of Greenville County Republican Committeemen, Monday night. Those eligible to participate in the poll represented every precinct in the county. They represent the views of more informed party activists that may be more familiar with the candidates than the average voter.
Donald Trump came in third, with 18 votes, trailed by Carley Fiorina with 14.
Governor asked to “Suspend Resettlement of Refugees in SC”
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The Greenville County Republican Party Executive Committee passed a “Refugee Resettlement Resolution” proposed by Dean Allen at their Monday meeting.
The Resolution stated that: “The Greenville County Republican Party respectfully calls upon Governor Nikki Haley to immediately suspend the further resettlement of refugees in South Carolina “ until certain specified conditions are met.
1. SLED investigates the impact of similar refugee resettlement programs in Tennessee and surrounding states on local law enforcement, and is able to certify to the Governor the proposed refugee resettlement program will not have an adverse impact on law enforcement in South Carolina, and will not require any additional funding for law enforcement.
Oriental Americans Protest Chinese President
- By Bang Hall
The Vietnamese American Community in Greenville, SC, joined the Vietnamese American Community, USA, along with other groups: Tibetan, the Uighurs at Xinjiang, the Inner Mongolian, Taiwanese, Hong Kong people, Filipinos in protesting on the Chinese President Xi Jinping visit to the United States. In front of the White House thousands of protesters carried their flags and banners, chanting “China out” and “Freedom for Tibet.”
The White House constructed temporary walls to prevent Xi Jinping to see his unwanted sights as protesters covered the La Fayette Park with pictures, flags and banners to show their side of Chinese Government leadership. Many political leaders of these groups stated that the White House is afraid of showing how Americans appreciate Freedom to practice the 1st Amendment by covering up their eyes and ears with black curtains and white veil.
People May Lose Control of Hospital System
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Most Citizens Unaware of Decisions made Behind Closed Doors
The Greenville Health System, that has expanded rapidly and bought up multiple surrounding hospitals and medical practices, is in the process of pulling off a major deal that may not be in the best interest of Greenville County Citizens. The system belongs to the citizens of Greenville County. By law it is governed by a board of directors appointed by the Greenville County Legislative Delegation.
The majority of the hospital board has voted to allow the hospital CEO they brought in from Chicago to explore appointing another board of directors that would be independent from the legislative delegation, independent and self-perpetuating and therefore independent from any influence or oversight by the citizens the health system serves or their elected representatives.
Two board members, Lewis Vaughn and Del Baker voted in opposition to the proposed change.
It’s 1992 All Over Again. A New Agenda 21 Threatens Our Way of Life
- By Tom DeWeese
If you had a time machine and could travel back to 1992 as the UN’s Earth Summit was underway, and you knew what you know now about Agenda 21, imagine the actions you could take to stop it in its tracks. You wouldn’t have to wonder what the NGOs who created it had in mind. You wouldn’t have to trust the news media to tell you the details. You would know, just as the NGO’s, Nancy Pelosi and all the others openly told you, Agenda 21 is a “comprehensive blue print” for the reorganization of human society.
They told you then, without hesitation, that Agenda 21 was aimed at destroying free enterprise. That is was a clarion call for humans to live on less. That the Earth could no longer sustain the United States of America. That’s what they told us, but so many weren’t listening. It took over 15 years to most to finally grasp it. And that was only after it was firmly entrenched in every government agency, every community plan, and every school curriculum. So much so than many now say it is impossible to combat. They whine that it’s a done deal.
Senate Republicans Face Gay Test
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The Republican members of the United States Senate face a test of their backbone soon when they vote on the confirmation of President Obama’s nominee for Secretary of the Army. The proposed Secretary of the Army is Eric Fanning, a well-known openly gay activist.
Fanning previously worked for the Air Force and failed to do anything to curb faith based persecution of servicemen like Master Sergeant Phillip Monk.
Fanning has spent the last several years lobbying for open transgenderism in the ranks of the United States Air Force, as Undersecretary and later as Defense Secretary Chief of Staff. His pro-gay efforts paid off when both of his bosses, Deborah Lee James and Ash Carter publicly supported his proposals, alleging that the “times have changed.”
Upstate History Museum Seeking War Stories
- By Tony Dunn
The Upstate History Museum in Greenville is seeking veterans of Korea and Vietnam Wars to record interviews of their wartime experiences. Kelly Smith, the museum historian, addressed the members of American Legion Post 214 recently about the goals of the historical program.
Fiorina Was all Business At Women’s Luncheon
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Carlie Fiorina addressed the Greenville County Republican Women’s Club during her second campaign stop in Greenville in a little more than a week. The only woman in the Republican race, she could not resist taking a couple of swipes at front runner Donald Trump, who had commented negatively on her appearance, and appeared insincere in his apology.
The candidate’s staff prescribed the structure for the luncheon and rushed her across the hall to a book signing at the conclusion of her presentation that was delivered with precision, but contained no new material.
Three Hour Trump Bash/Carley Boost
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The Republican National Committee (RNC) arranged with liberal leftist Cable News Network (CNN) to host an event for all Republican presidential candidates at the Reagan Library in California last week. The poorly veiled goal of the “forum” was clearly understood to be to knock Donald Trump out of first place in the polls. The format was petty, spiteful and childish. The moderator tried hard to create feuds between Trump and the other candidates. Ted Cruz, Ben Carson and even Mike Huckabee resisted the encouragement to attack the front runner.
“Mr. Trump, you have been critical of Mrs. Fiorina’s appearance, tell her what you think of her appearance.” was the tone of the typical question. Trump overcompensated with something like: “She is a beautiful woman with a beautiful face.” Then Rand Paul, who apparently thought he was being overlooked and shortchanged on television time, chimed in. He opined that it was inappropriate for Trump to criticize the personal appearance of ugly, fat and otherwise unattractive people. That was an opening that the witty Trump could not allow to go unnoticed.
Pro-Confederate Flag Protestors Send Message to Governor Haley During Heritage Action Forum

Ten Republican Candidates in “Take Back America Forum”
- By Bob Dill and Arthur Hampton
Dr. Ben Carson received thunderous applause at the “Take Back America Forum” because of his strong stand against taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood and their harvesting and sale of aborted body parts.
The Heritage Action Presidential Candidate Forum at the Bon Secours Wellness Center in Greenville, SC, September 18, 2015, was hosted by former United States Senator and current Heritage Foundation President Jim DeMint; Heritage Action for America Chief Executive Officer Michael A. Needham and South Carolina Governor Nikki Randhawa Haley.
The ten candidates participating in the forum, with approximately 25 minutes each in the spotlight, were Dr. Ben Carson, Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, Gov. Scott Walker, who has since dropped out of the race; Gov. Chris Christie, Dr. Rand Paul, Sen. Rick Santorum and Gov. Bobby Jindal. More than 10,000 people attended the forum that lasted more than 5 hours.
As the crowd gathered for the event, they were greeted by dozens of individuals from around the state and nation carrying signs and flags protesting Gov. Haley’s controversial Confederate flag decision.
Republican Candidates Told They Must Defend Obama
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Trump don’t think He is Morally Obligated to Defend Obama Every Time Someone Says Something Bad About Him
On Thursday, the day after the candidate forum at the Reagan Library in California, Donald Trump was taking questions from the audience at an event in Rochester, New Hampshire. A man in the audience addressed Trump and said, “We have a problem in this country. Its called Muslims.” He went on to say that we know our current president is one and they have training camps around the country and he asked what Trump would do about the problem.
Trump did not agree or disagree with the statement of the questioner. “A lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there,” Trump responded. He promised to look into the alleged problems.
Everyone from Lindsey Graham to Hillary Clinton cut loose on Trump for not challenging the questioner and Defending Obama by telling the man he was wrong and that Obama was a Christian and not a Muslim.
In Defense of Kim Davis
- By Frank Hall - Greenville, SC
I am amazed at the volume and viciousness of the nonsense being generated by the illegal and unconstitutional incarceration of Kim Davis in Rowan County, Kentucky. If you don’t understand what is going on (as opposed to what should be going on) please be sure to read Mike Scruggs’ article in the 9/9/15 issue of The Times Examiner. He did a fantastic job of exposing the legal fallacies of those who think Kim did something wrong and should be jailed, fined, and fired. I beg your indulgence for a few seconds while I expose their logical fallacies.
They claim to base their arguments on Amendment XIV of the U. S. Constitution, which says (in part) “No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Therefore (they claim) all Americans are under the equal protection of the laws, and homosexual couples must be allowed to obtain marriage licenses and get married the same way heterosexual couples do. “It is the law of the land because five Supreme Court Judges said so.”
Religion Enters the Presidential Race
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Dr. Ben Carson introduced the subject of religion into the presidential race last week by questioning the depth of faith of Donald Trump. Trump wisely did not take the bait and responded by questioning Carson’s energy level. Quickly, Carson apologized for his comment and said he did not want to enter “that arena.”
Religion of a sort is already in the race. Former Senator Rick Santorum is a very devout Catholic and Mike Huckabee is a former Baptist preacher who abandoned that calling for politics and show business. On occasion, Huckabee also plays bass guitar with rock bands.
Most of the Republican and all of the Democrat candidates consider themselves too “elite” to be bothered with such a “private” matter as Christianity. After all, someone may become offended.
The Evangelical Attraction To Donald Trump
- By David Brody
I get this question a lot so I figured I better write about it. Here it is: “Why are evangelical voters attracted to Donald Trump? I don’t get it.” Well, you may think the answer is a complicated one but actually it’s not. Let me explain.
Donald Trump operates in a world of absolutes. A world of right and wrong; a world of winners (him) and losers (McCain, Perry, etc); a world of put up or shut up (literally). Trump’s world is colored in black and white. Their ain’t much grey. And what does Trump get for speaking out so boldly without holding back? Public ridicule.
Now, think of conservative evangelicals. In their quest to champion biblical values, their mindset is much the same. It is a world of absolutes. They believe the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God. Non-negotiable. They believe there is only one way to heaven and that is through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Non-negotiable. They see the world through the lens of spiritual warfare (good vs. evil). And what do evangelicals get for speaking out so boldly without holding back? That’s right: public ridicule.
Future of Greenville County EMS Remains Uncertain
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Republican Support for Governor Shrinks in Recent Poll
A poll taken by Public Policy Polling, a Democrat public opinion firm, conducted between September 3 and 6 found a large shift of Democrat support to Governor Nikki Haley after she led the stampede to remove the Confederate battle flag from the Soldiers Monument at the State Capitol.
While Governor Haley and the NAACP took credit for the attack on South Carolina Heritage that culminated in removal of the flag from the monument, Democrat Party Chairman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz took credit on national television for the coordinated coast to coast uprising that pressured the Republican dominated state legislature to succumb to the demands of the Governor and all the leftist organizations that have destruction of all things “Southern” as their long-term goal.

On Saturday, September 12, 2015, Caroline S. Coleman 537, Children of the Confederacy,attended the 13th annual Pioneer Day at Culbertson Backcountry Settlement in Gray Court, SC, hosted by Henry Laurens DAR Chapter. Sixteen Caroline S.

They carried a beautiful banner, designed and constructed by Carol Leake, President of Oliver Thompson 1850, UDC, our sponsoring chapter. They were able to interact with Native Americans, re-enactors from the Revolutionary War, the War Between the States, and the Musgrove Mill Militia.
Future of Greenville County EMS Remains Uncertain
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Council Resolution Tosses Decision to Hospital Systems for Joint Agreement on County EMS Operations
Two months ago, it appeared as if the Greenville County EMS operation would be turned over to the Greenville Hospital System. A deal had allegedly already been worked out with the County Administrator. The problem was that it had not been approved or even seen by Council and St. Francis did not like it at all. The deal, in their view, was stacked against their business interests. Then for the next several meetings of the Council, the Council chambers were filled with supporters of the Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital System. The hospital administrators made their case and accused the administrator of not operating above the table.
As opposition to the plan developed by the Administrator grew, Council members that were inclined to support the plan became skeptical. Finally, it was too controversial for the Council to decide and they approved a resolution drafted by Councilman Willis Meadows that asked the two hospital systems to develop a proposal for the two health systems to operate the EMS system jointly. They were given until the end of September to respond to the Council.
Wake up, Greenville!
- By Dr. Christina Jeffrey
March 9th, I opened the Spartanburg Herald Journal and found a puff piece about “Come Closer Spartanburg,” a nonprofit dedicated to fundamentally transforming Spartanburg. Some of their ideas are good, but one idea, the central message of the article, reminded me of the Amnesty campaign of 2013 and the warnings of my daughter who was working that summer at the Institute for Religion and Democracy. She discovered the strong financial support of George Soros, and the Evangelical Immigration Table. Soros is an atheist with roots in multiple projects to fundamentally transform countries. Hello Greenville.
The voice on the heart-tugging Evangelical Immigration Table radio ads that ran all summer was that of Jim Goodroe, who is Director of Missions for the Spartanburg Baptist Network. Dr. Goodroe is a member of the Evangelical Immigration Table, and a founding force in the creation of “Come Closer Spartanburg.” This time, the mission was bringing refugees to the Upstate.
Are Your Prayers Answered?
- By Frank Hall - Greenville, SC
Islam has turned this world into a giant horror movie. On six of the seven continents Muslims are chopping off the heads of Christians, Jews, and anybody else that refuses to convert to Islam. They are burning people alive, and shooting them down like ducks in a shooting gallery. Have you, like me, prayed and prayed begging God to put a stop to this epidemic of evil? Do you wonder why God doesn’t seem to hear, or doesn’t seem to care?
Thousands of years ago Habakkuk wrote lucidly as he experienced the same dilemma: “O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! Even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!” I can’t say it any better than Habakkuk did.
Destroying the Symbols of History
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Americans are horrified when they see televised images of radical Muslims destroying ancient Christian works of art and structures in Iraq and other far-away countries. At the same time, elected officials in this country are turning their backs and some are leading in the desecration and destruction of historic symbols and monuments as part of politically motivated mass hysteria known as Confederaphobia.
Recently Kenneth Neill of Unionville, Tennessee, expressed the feelings of many native Southerners in a letter to a national magazine.
“As I’ve watched the news recently since the tragedy in Charleston, the reaction and over-reaction by so many leave me wondering if this is what going insane feels like. We’re hearing ignorant, misinformed statements and downright lies concerning not only the battle flag but other symbols of our heritage as well.
Citadel Surrendered to Political Correctness
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Citadel Will Receive Sword of Confederate Officer Killed in Action Without Mention of Confederacy
The Citadel, South Carolina’s military academy has a proud unsurpassed history that has inspired students and graduates to achieve heroic excellence in battle since the early days of the Republic. Sadly, political correctness that has spread Confederaphobia throughout academia has now infected the formerly proud Citadel.
Next week, the current caretakers of the Citadel will degrade the memory of a graduate of the first Citadel class who died heroically in battle. Some Alumni are unhappy and will not attend the event.
In 1846, Charles Courtenay Tew was graduated from the first class at the Citadel and afterward taught there. In 1857, he was Captain Tew, Superintendent of the Arsenal Academy, a preparatory school for the Citadel in Columbia. In 1858, Tew resigned to found the North Carolina Military Academy in Hillsboro.
Governor Haley Seeking National Fame on Backs of South Carolinians
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
According to the Liberal Media, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is a strong contender for Vice President on the Republican Ticket. The first generation American whose parents came to this country from India was elected to her first term as a Tea Party candidate. Alaska Governor Sara Palin came to the Palmetto State and gave her the conservative nudge she needed to win the election. Once elected, she was quick to change her political alliances.
Haley walked away from her Tea Party supporters during the first term and picked up support from the main-line Republicans, big business and the Chamber of Commerce. . In her second term she has aligned herself more with the RINO wing of the National Republican Party that is said to favor Jeb Bush for President and will do whatever is necessary to destroy the campaign of Donald Trump after Labor Day.
Trump Plans Crack Down on Muslim Immigration
- By Mike Scruggs
Most Other 2016 Presidential Hopefuls Silent
The mainstream media including Fox have apparently not noticed that in Trump’s five-page immigration plan he intends to cut down on immigration from Middle East countries posing a terrorist risk. This includes at least Saudi Arabia, Somalia, and so-called refugees from Iraq and Syria. In fact, Trump plans to increase overall fiscal scrutiny and security measures on our much abused asylum and refugee programs. He is particularly concerned with President Obama’s un-vetted surge of Iraqi and Syrian refugees. Although severe persecution and slaughter of Christian and other non-Muslim minorities in ISIS-held parts of Syria and Iraq is raging, few of Obama’s refugees are Christian or other religious minorities. Trump has also been sounding the alarm about Christian persecution worldwide, but the most egregious cases have been in predominantly Muslim nations or regions.
Cruz: The President Should Begin Each Day on His Knees
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
If you see a Candidate Washington Embraces, run and hide
Senator Ted Cruz demonstrated his strong conservative Christian values during a rally in Greer, Friday evening. The Senator’s father, Rev. Rafiel Cruz, is a Baptist Pastor and a dynamic speaker well-known among conservative Christians in Upstate South Carolina.
Cruz was interrupted by enthusiastic applause following virtually every statement. He took a couple of swipes at perceived Democrat opponents in the presidential race.
“The Democrat field consists of a wild-eyed socialist with ideas that are dangerous for America and the world and Bernie Sanders.”
Cruz said the President should begin each day on his knees and listed the 5-things he would do on the first day as president.
Are Good People an Endangered Species?
About ten years ago, on the occasion of my 60th birthday, I made a comment to the group my wife had assembled. To honor what I knew was a terrific bunch of people I said that, “Everybody in this room is a good human being.” Little did they know they were also shortly to become an endangered species. Without dwelling on the obvious fact that I reserved then and still count now on my place among the “good guys,” let’s talk about the larger premise.
From where I sit, the President of the United States (POTUS) has targeted the good people of America. There is really too much evidence to ignore what Obama is doing. The list of crimes against the honor and integrity of America and its people is, frankly, too long to list here. If you don’t agree with that, well, you simply aren’t paying attention.
Lawless Nation: Innocents Are Dying
- By Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D.
“But if the Watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman’s hand.” ~ Ezekiel 33:6
Physicians have traditionally taken the Oath of Hippo-crates to preserve life to the best of their ability and judgment. Your doctor is supposed to be a “watchman” over your health and life. Yet today, with rampant lawlessness on the part of our government leading to the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent human beings—from the most vulnerable unborn babies to America’s bravest warriors—physicians need to sound the trumpet. We cannot remain silent when life is at stake.
At one end of the spectrum the warriors that served our country here and abroad are denied prompt access to medical care when they need it, and many die waiting—either from disease or suicidal despair.
