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.
Clinton Clan Must be Prosecuted
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
“Loose lips sink ships.” That was the slogan in World War II stressing the importance of safeguarding information that could be helpful to our enemies and harmful to Americans and our allies. The penalties for violating the secrecy laws and regulations were severe. People who violated these rules were sometimes charged with and tried for treason.
There is mounting evidence that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and some of her closest friends and aides have committed crimes pertaining to the legal handling of classified information. This is one of the most serious offenses that a government official can commit.
A new report alleges that two emails containing classified information from two people on Hillary Clinton’s inner circle jump-started the FBI investigation into her use of a private email setup during her time as Secretary of State.

Sanders Wows Large Crowd at TD Convention Center
- By Terry M. Thacker
“BER-NIE! BER-NIE! BER-NIE!” shouted a very enthusiastic crowd of nearly 3,000 supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders as he gave a stump speech this past Friday at the TD Convention Center. The event had the feel of a rock concert.
During his almost hour-long stump speech, Sanders, currently a US Senator from Vermont, spent most of his time railing against economic inequality and corporate greed.
“This campaign is sending a message to the most powerful people in the country – you're no longer going to get it all, “ said Sanders. He said that corporate greed is destroying the country and that “it is not acceptable that almost all of the new wealth and income created in America are going to the top one percent.”
Presidential Town Hall with Gov. Bobby Jindal at Wofford College
- By Arthur Hampton
Senator Tim Scott held a town hall meeting Tuesday at Wofford University featuring Louisiana Governor and Presidential Candidate Bobby Jindal and Representative Trey Gowdy. Scott reiterated the purpose of his town hall meetings on several occasions stating, “the purpose of this event is not to give sound bite answers but to get thorough answers to questions from the audience.” Jindal opened by discussing how he and Scott agree on education and the emphasis of choices in this realm.
The most revelant question asked to Jindal from the audience was, “You attended Oxford University on the Rhodes scholarship, which is funded by the Rothschild international banking family, who made their intentions known to establish a one world government or a new world order. What are your thoughts on the Rothschild banking family and do you think that Mr. Scott and Mr. Gowdy’s vote for TPA furthers the Rothschild’s agenda to establish a one world government?”
Pushed Toward a World Government
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
While the American people are preoccupied with surviving under the Obama Administration, worrying about terrorism and the upcoming presidential election, our Constitutional Republic is being pushed closer and closer to becoming a “nation state” in a world government.
The government and power structure have been pushing our republic toward a world government for decades. The Carter, Clinton and two Bush administrations have quietly pushed the world government agenda along. It was slowed slightly by Reagan. Obama has accelerated the agenda and he will predictably do all he can to push a world government commitment beyond the “point of no return” before he leaves office in January 2017.
At least two generations of students have been brainwashed by public schools into thinking “globally.” Some students were even required or volunteered to sign up to become “world citizens.” This political brainwashing of children will continue under “Common Core” unless a new administration returns public schools to local control and an appropriate curriculum is adopted.
VA Facility Forces 72-Year-Old Artist To Remove Confederate Flag From His Civil War Mural
- By Jonah Bennett
Officials at a Department of Veterans Affairs medical center in Colorado want the Confederate battle flag completely removed from a mural.
The Grand Junction medical facility features a mural of the Civil War painted by 72-year-old artist Lee Bowerman and shows a Confederate and Union soldier staring each other down. Bowerman thinks the decision to remove the flag is unfortunate, but has agreed to do as officials ask. In the meantime, officials have placed a banner to cover part of the display until Bowerman has time to finish the job and remove the offensive elements.
The Clash of Civilizations
- By Mike Scruggs
The Muslim Immigration Dilemma for the West
In 1992, Harvard professor Samuel Huntington gave a lecture entitled, “The Clash of Civilizations and The Remaking of World Order.” In 1993, Huntington published the essentials of this lecture as an article in Foreign Affairs. His book by the same name followed in 1996. Huntington’s theory was that nations were already beginning to reorganize relationships and loyalties around cultural rather than primarily ideological and economic factors and that future conflicts would center around clashes of culture. At center stage, once dormant Islam, now blessed with enormous oil wealth, was becoming resurgent Islam, renewing its centuries-old militant religious-ideological based cultural drive for world dominance. Huntington stated:

Hollis Elementary Shiree Turner Fowler Named Teacher of Year
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Shiree Turner Fowler, a kindergarten teacher at Hollis Elementary Academy, has been named the Greenville County Teacher of the Year. Fowler holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology and social work from Seattle University and a master’s degree in elementary education from City University in Seattle.
Fowler has been a teacher for 12 years, and has taught at Hollis for the past two years.
Fowler wanted to become a social worker so she could create empowering community-based programs for at-risk youth. Once she began working with youth, she realized that although the children needed the programs, they were in need of something much greater. “To improve their lives, they first needed a quality education,” she said. “I became committed to teaching in Title I Schools, which are schools with at least 40 percent poverty rate, because of my commitment to the young people I worked with.”
Trump Presented Immigration Plan to Make America Great Again
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
When Politicians Talk About “Immigration Reform” they mean: Amnesty, Cheap Labor and Open Borders.
Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has surprised his critics and supporters by gaining points in the polls each week in the face of predictions that he will self-destruct. In the face of criticism that he is speaking in generalities and presenting no specifics, Trump released a four-page immigration reform plan that is very specific and leaves no doubt as to what his intentions are.
The key to his success is that he is talking about issues that politicians of both parties are reluctant to address. Even if they disagree with some of his fine points, they are glad he is discussing solutions to real problems and the issues that they lose sleep worrying about.
Dangerous Game of “Dump Trump”
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
All the resources and persuasive powers of the Republican Party power brokers are being employed to force Donald Trump from the presidential primary lineup. This is implementation of a planned strategy to ensure the preferred candidate of the party leaders is the winner. It is a dangerous game worthy of the Obama regime, and could split the party and elect a socialist dictator at a most critical time.
Prior to the RNC/FOX News debate last week, Trump was polling about 20 percent nationwide and 30 percent in South Carolina. Many if not most of these voters are very patriotic Americans, very concerned about the future of their Constitutional republic and do not trust the RNC to choose a candidate to uphold the constitution or even defeat the Democrat candidate.
These voters will not change their views if Trump is forced from the candidate lineup. Many will not vote for a candidate who has joined the attack on Trump, whether deserved or not. Ted Cruz is most likely to pick up Trump supporters should he drop out.
Carly Fiorina Packs Tommy's Country Ham House

Despite a Weak PA System and Standing Room only, The Crowd Stayed to the End
Carly Fiorina is a petite, very articulate former chairman and CEO OF HP, a technology company with annual revenue surpassing $90 billion. Her presentations are well-rehearsed and precise.
On the first day in office she would call her friend Netenyahu and tell him the United States is backing Israel. The second call will be to the Iranians to tell them they will behave or their money supply will be restricted.
She explains that she has been seated across the table from Russia’s Putin, the King of Jordan and other world leaders, and she knows them and how to work with them.
“Would you like to see me debate Hillary Clinton?” she asks to thunderous applause.

Ailes Promised Fair Treatment of Trump by Fox

Feud with Megyn Kelly Expected to Moderate as Trump Continues to Rise in Polls
The angry exchange of insults between FOX debate moderator Megyn Kelly and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump raged in the media throughout the weekend following the testy questions posed to Trump during the Thursday night candidate debate. Predictions flourished suggesting that Trump’s answers would finish his lead in the 17 candidate lineup and possibly drive him from the campaign.
Supporters of Trump explain that the liberal media and the Republican Party leadership are out of touch with reality and have no understanding of the depth of frustration and anger existing among American voters.
Political Fortune of Donald Trump
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Donald Trump is leading the other 16 Republican candidates in the polls because he is talking about the issues that American voters care about. He is connecting with thousands of veterans, thousands of Bible-believing Christians and thousands of common sense conservatives who are faced with the undeniable truth about illegal immigration and other issues.
Trump is also critical of people voters don’t like, and he refuses to apologize for things he says when he knows he is right. Many veterans are aware that Sen. McCain, as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, could do a lot for veterans during his 30 years in Congress, but has not done so. Veterans who have sacrificed and risked their lives for their country are willing to do it again if necessary, because they took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, Foreign and Domestic.

Planned Parenthood Body Parts Sales Prompt Strong Upstate Opposition
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Federal and State Lawmakers Pledge New Legislation, No Funding
The Center for Medical Progress released three videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s alleged participation in the illegal trafficking of aborted baby body parts for profit.
The dominant liberal media has ignored information regarding the videos. Pro-abortion liberals are doing everything they can to sweep Planned Parenthood’s most recent scandal under the rug. Fox and the social and Pro-life media only publish facts.
The videos are so revolting and damaging to Planned Parenthood and the entire abortion industry, that the industry is seeking court orders to prevent the public from viewing the taped statements of Planned Parenthood executives.
On Thursday afternoon, Lenna Smith, Executive Director of the Piedmont Women’s Center in Greenville, South Carolina, called a conference of pastors, elected officials and media to discuss an appropriate reaction to the revolting revelations. The turnout was exceptional considering the time of day and short notice given.
Tara Servatius Stressed Importance of Presidential Election
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Tara Servatius, host of the TARA Show on WORD Radio FM 106.3 from 6 to 10 am on weekdays, discussed the importance of the upcoming presidential election with the Greenville County Republican Women’s Club, Thursday.
She discussed the Supreme Court Decision on Homosexual marriage and said court appointments would be the most important task of the next president with the retirement of conservative judges during the next 4 years.
Tara said the Homosexual marriage decision would impact much more than marriage. It will first surface with lawsuits in schools due to the “dignity rights” and “self-identity” provisions that have been little noticed by the public.
Senator Marco Rubio Draws Younger Crowd in Greenville
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Senator Marco Rubio was 45 minutes late to his meet and greet in Greenville, Monday evening. He was greeted by a patient but enthusiastic crowd of about 300, and a majority of them were under age 40. Several of the younger volunteers came from out of town to participate in the event. One was from as far away as Virginia.
His theme was “what I will do as President.” He avoided controversy such as illegal immigration and no controversial questions were asked from the screened audience submissions.
Attacks on Southern Heritage Continue Nationwide
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Confederate Monument Vandalized
From efforts to change the name of Clemson’s Tillman Hall because Ben Tillman was a segregationist, to banishing the “Rebel” name from the Byrnes High School ball teams, and digging up the bones of Gen. Bedford Forrest and his wife, unrestrained actions are becoming more vindictive and destructive.
Vandals and politicians wishing to revise history by destroying reminders of Southern and Confederate history are redoubling their efforts nationwide. Their efforts are virtually unrestrained by government officials; some of whom are encouraging and participating in the activities.
Parents and students at Byrnes High School in Spartanburg County have decided they are not going to be bullied and are taking a stand. They could be forced to comply by liberal courts that will eventually get involved.
Historical Ignorance II
- By Walter Williams
We call the war of 1861 the Civil War. But is that right? A civil war is a struggle between two or more entities trying to take over the central government. Confederate President Jefferson Davis no more sought to take over Washington, D.C., than George Washington sought to take over London in 1776. Both wars, those of 1776 and 1861, were wars of independence. Such a recognition does not require one to sanction the horrors of slavery. We might ask, How much of the war was about slavery?
Was President Abraham Lincoln really for outlawing slavery? Let's look at his words. In an 1858 letter, Lincoln said, "I have declared a thousand times, and now repeat that, in my opinion neither the General Government, nor any other power outside of the slave states, can constitutionally or rightfully interfere with slaves or slavery where it already exists." In a Springfield, Illinois, speech, he explained: "My declarations upon this subject of Negro slavery may be misrepresented but cannot be misunderstood.
Haley a Follower Not a Leader
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has become the darling of the National Republican Party and the Soros / Moveon.org leftist wing of the Democrat Party for stampeding the state legislature to quickly remove the battle flag from the Soldier’s Memorial on the State House grounds in the presence of a cheering mob.
The alleged reason for rolling up the flag and tucking it away in the state museum’s Relic Room, using a military-style ceremony reminiscent of Nazi Germany, was the murder of 9 Black churchgoers in Charleston by a young man who has been accused of being a racist. The police report and all records pertaining to the case have been sealed by a judge and hidden from the public, leaving many questions unanswered.
What is known is that Governor Haley and a majority of the State Legislature became the useful “tools” of a national movement much larger than their prejudices or political ambitions, and the tragic and brutal murder case in Charleston.

Deb Marks Discussed Common Core History Framework with GOP Women
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Deb Marks, Vice President of Operations, SCPIE, discussed the negative impact of Advance Placement U. S. History Curriculum Framework that will impact some 5,000 South Carolina students each year.
The new Framework reflects a radically revisionist view of American History that emphasizes negative aspects of our nation’s history while omitting or minimizing positive aspects.
The Framework includes little or no discussion of the Founding Fathers, the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the religious influences on our nation’s history, and many other critical topics that have always been part of the APUSH course.
