The Battle for National Sovereignty
- By Mike Scruggs
According to recent Washington Post/ABC, Rasmussen, and IBD/TIPP polls, President Obama’s weakest policy vulnerability is immigration. Americans have never favored illegal immigration, amnesty, or bringing in so many immigrant workers that it hurt American wages and job prospects, but the leadership of both parties have suppressed full discussion of immigration issues for at least two decades. This has worked out well for the Democrats. In fact, it is a major part of the reason Barack Obama is President. Illegal immigration has been a major problem since 1965, but it accelerated after the 1986 amnesty, and especially after Republican President George W. Bush embraced the idea in 2001 that amnesty would convert Hispanic and Asian illegal immigrants into “natural Republicans.” A little homework on immigration issues would have prevented what the American public now believes are two of our biggest problems: illegal immigration and too much legal immigration. But most politicians don’t like homework. They like big campaign donations and acclaim by the liberal press. So Congress passes momentous legislative disasters without even reading them, much less thinking a couple steps ahead about their consequences. However, good government and sound immigration policy require honest homework and principled dedication to the best interests of all Americans.
Is There A Provider In The House?
- By Marilyn Singleton
Physicians have a proud heritage. We can boast Dr. Benjamin Rush, a founding father, signer of the Declaration of Independence, Surgeon General of the Continental Army, and opponent of slavery. And Dr. James Derham, born a slave in 1762, who grew a successful practice that included freeman and slaves.
We have modern-day sources of pride in Dr. Sheik Humarr Khan, a world expert in the care of viral hemorrhagic fevers, Dr. Abrahim Borbor, and Dr. Sahr Rogers. All three died while fighting to save the lives of patients with Ebola Virus Disease.
Semantic Secrets of Deception
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Semantics, secrecy and deception are key elements of the Obama regime’s strategy to fundamentally change the United States of America from a constitutional republic to a leftist, one-world, Islamic dictatorship. When candidate Obama said, “We are the ones we have been waiting for,” and “We will fundamentally change America,” the cult of Saul Alinsky Marxists, Bill Ayers and Islamic terrorists knew what he was saying. It was a message to them to join the Obama team, seize power and use the power and finances of government to destroy the country they hate and have been trying openly to destroy since the 1960s and before.
This was one of the first uses of Semantics by Obama to use different meanings and interpretations of words, phrases or sentences to communicate different messages to different people. Use of semantics is now a routine daily practice of Obama and his minions – and, not unlike the Delphi Technique, it continues to work on target groups.
Lisa Benson Warns Bible Belt of Certain Terror Threat
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Radio talk show host Lisa Benson spent September 11, 2014, in Greenville, South Carolina. Benson is concerned that radical Islamic factions are establishing a prominent presence in the Bible Belt and the local residents don’t even know it.
She had lunch with a group of conservative women , taped a television interview with Peggy Denny, host of the Peggy Denny Show, the longest running program on WGGS TV- 16 in Greenville. The day concluded with a Tribute to September 11 Victims, First Responders and Veterans at the Zen, sponsored by the Greenville Tea Party.
Bubbling with energy behind a strong personality, Lisa Benson is one of few radio voices warning the American people about the immediate dangers within our borders from Islamic terrorists.

- By Bob Dill, Publisher

Thirteen Hours
- By A Brief Review By Mitchell Zuckoff with the Annex Security Team
--------------------
Note: This is a hardback book list priced at $28. It may be purchased at Sam’s for $15.28. It was released on 9/11/2014.
--------------------
“This book documents the last hours of an American diplomatic outpost in one of the most dangerous corners of the globe. Based on exclusive firsthand accounts, it describes the bloody assault, tragic losses, and heroic deeds at the U. S. State Department Special Mission Compound and at a nearby CIA base called the Annex in Benghazi, Libya, from the night of September 11, 2012, into the morning of the next day.
“It is not about what officials in the United States government knew, said, or did after the attack, or about the ongoing controversy over talking points, electoral politics, and alleged conspiracies and cover-ups. It is not about what happened in hearing rooms of the capitol, anterooms of the White House, meeting rooms of the State Department, or greenrooms of TV talk shows. It is about what happened on the ground, in the streets, and on the rooftops of Benghazi, when bullets flew, buildings burned, and mortars rained. When lives were saved, lost, and forever changed.”
Muslim Refugees to Flood United States
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
“We have several thousands in the pipeline and that number will continue to go up.”
In February, the State Department eased the rules to protect the U. S. from accepting refugees with potential ties to terrorist organizations. The rules were seen as “too strict” by the Obama Administration.
WND and Front Page Politics reported Monday that on September 4, a U. S. State Department spokesman “hinted that a new wave of refugees will soon be coming from another predominantly Muslim nation – Syria.”
The U. N. High Commissioner on Refugees is referring Syrian refugees to the United States. “We have several thousand in the pipeline, and that number will continue to go up,” he said.

Snow Campaign Chapter, USDAR, of Fountain Inn, SC, held its first meeting of the 2014-15 year at the Fountain Inn History Center, 102 Depot Street, Fountain Inn, SC, on Thursday, September 11, 2014. This year, Constitution Day is celebrated on Wednesday, September 17, commemorating the signing of the Constitution on September 17, 1787, by thirty-nine men in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The tradition of celebrating Constitution Week was started many years ago by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). In 1955, the DAR petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week.

Obama’s Islamic Fantasyland
- By Mike Scruggs
Sugar-coated Islam versus Reality
When President Obama says that ISIS, which now calls itself the Islamic State, is not Islamic, perhaps he is trying to tell us that because ISIS is violent and fanatical, it is not the “true Islam.” Unfortunately, the President’s benevolent “true Islam” is the fantasyland of Muslim Brotherhood propaganda, thoroughly deceived liberal academics and media personalities, and politicians more concerned with political correctness than thorough homework and reality. Sadly, this counter-factual version of Islam is the so-called religion of peace and tolerance exuberantly praised by Bill and Hillary Clinton, Tony Blair, and George W. Bush. This deceptive sugarcoated version of Islam differs sharply from the Islam of the Koran and the example and teachings of Muhammad. Moreover, it conflicts with Islam’s 1400-year record of fanatical violence, despotism, and expansion by coercion, sword, and terror. Undoubtedly, vast Middle Eastern petroleum reserves and billions of petro-dollars have lent foreign affairs credibility to the fantasy that Islam is peaceful and tolerant.
Common Core: Price We Pay for Taking Federal Funds
- By Sen. Shane Martin
The process of replacing Common Core standards in Math and English/Language Arts is well underway. The State Department of Education and the State Board, as provided for in state law, will formulate new South Carolina standards based upon a review by panels of subject experts. Those standards must go to the Education Oversight Committee for its sign off, and then our teachers will begin using them in the 2015-2016 school year.
I think that it may help to revisit exactly what we expect from education standards and why it is important that South Carolina develop those standards instead of outsourcing it to a centralized entity. State law requires that educational standards be designed to promote the abilities to:
Most Dangerous Days of our Lives
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Remember Pearl Harbor!
Remember the Alamo!
Remember Waco and Ruby Ridge!
Remember Nine-Eleven?
We ain’t seen nothing yet!
It is bad enough when most of the American people are in denial, but when the Commander-in-Chief is in denial and hoping the threat will evaporate and go away, that is really scary.
As If Common Core Weren't Bad Enough, Now We Have Anti-American AP US History!
- By Johnelle Raines - Pickens, SC
From the creators of Common Core, David Coleman and the College Board, the new AP US History course is an assault on our country’s heritage.
The new AP US History (APUSH) framework presents a relentlessly negative view of American history, emphasizing every problem and failing of our ancestors while ignoring or minimizing their achievements.
The College Board’s reinterpretation of US history, as presented in the new APUSH course, is a biased and inaccurate view of many important facets of American history, including the motivations and actions of 17th -19th-century settlers, American involvement in World War II, and the conduct of, and victory in, the Cold War.
War Is Hell! South Carolina Summers Are Hot!
- By Vivian Bradburn - Union, SC
War is hell! South Carolina summers are hot! These two statements are related only because they are both facts, unless reported on by the Associated Press, when they might well become fiction.
AP reporters are well versed in the liberal art of innuendo, as demonstrated by their sugar coating of the IRS boondoggle, and the blind eye they gave to the confusion of the Obamacare take-off. Their reporting on the economic recovery is as murky as their news about how many billions of dollars we are in debt. It's like reading comedy as they try to separate a little grain from the hulls of the Obama presidency, boosting his minor accomplishments, while fast-forwarding his failures.
County Resolves to Oppose Proposed Expansion of Federal Control under “Clean Water Act”
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Proposal would give Federal Government Authority to regulate ditches, ponds and rain puddles on Private Property
Greenville County Council has unanimously passed a resolution opposing the proposed expansion of federal control of private property under the Clean Water Act.
The federal government is implementing United Nations Agenda 21. The intent is to effectively eliminate private property ownership and use. Implementation of this despicable agenda must be stopped if the God-given right of property ownership is to survive the current environmental extremists funded by tax dollars and their representatives in government.
Sales Tax Battle Has Begun
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Beneficiaries of Largest Tax Increase in Greenville County History may spend a Million Dollars to Get Taxpayer Funding of their “pet” projects
Greenville County residents are facing the largest and most cynical tax increase scheme in the County’s history. The scheme is even more deceptive than the notorious “Greenville Plan” for circumventing the South Carolina constitutional debt limit, forming a dummy corporation, and borrowing a billion dollars to build new schools.
It should be noted that the State Legislature moved swiftly to pass a law making the “Greenville Plan” practice illegal in the future. The law was not retroactive and the Greenville County School Board was allowed to proceed with contracts already executed and none of the participants in the scheme were charged with a crime.

Korean War Veterans Made History With Veterans Corridor of Honor
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Markers on I-385 Honor US Military Veterans Who Served in WW I to Present
The tent was full, the chairs were full, the parking lot was full and it was half an hour before the unveiling ceremony was set to begin. The overwhelming turnout was unexpected on a Friday morning. The ceremony designating a portion of I-385 the Veterans Corridor of Honor took place in the parking lot of the Railhouse Restaurant located at 1003 North Old Laurens Road in Fountain Inn.
The event was well attended by military veterans and their family members, elected officials and business leaders. Fourth District Congressman Trey Gowdy was the featured speaker for the event. The Congressman’s comments were brief but appropriate for the occasion. He commended the individuals who planned and carried out the project that will remind motorists going north or south on I-385 that Americans throughout the history of our republic have sacrificed to preserve freedom for ourselves and others.
County Residents Concerned about Helicopter Noise, Safety
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
National Guard Helicopters to Train with Sling Load of 25,000 Pounds Concrete
A South Carolina National Guard helicopter unit has moved to a facility at the former Donaldson Air Force Base. A spokesman for the military unit has informed Greenville County Council that the facility originally thought to be for helicopter maintenance, will also be involved in training crews to lift and transport heavy sling loads.
It is estimated that 40 or more takeoffs per week are planned. Some of the takeoffs will involve lifting 25,000 pounds of concrete by sling and transporting the loads to several airports, including Anderson, Greenwood, Oconee and Pickens.
The South Carolina National Guard also plans to fly low-level helicopter training exercises at altitudes of less than 500 feet. These exercises will reportedly be flown over the Sumter National Forest in Newberry, Union and Laurens Counties and the DuPont State Forest near Hendersonville, North Carolina.

Obamacare, Goebbels and Ginsburg
- By Dr. Keith Smith
A friend recently opined to me about his increasing frustration with those who are unable to distinguish between politics and religion, particularly those for whom politics is their religion. This describes statists of all stripes, I think. Folks either want to use the power of the state to abscond with the property of others in order to better complete “the Lord’s work,” or they justify the state’s trampling of individual rights in the name of “the greater good.” The fascist, Joseph Goebbels had the following to say:
“My party is my church and I believe I serve the Lord best if I do his will, and liberate my oppressed people from the fetters of slavery. That is my gospel.” Or how about this one from Mr. Goebbels: “I am only the instrument that God uses to sing his song. I am only the vessel that nature smilingly fills with new wine.”
The Worst Days of our Lives
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The Dill Family began the month of August 2014 with one car each and a 20-year-old backup. Then the car demons struck.
Valvoline insisted on flushing the radiator. LaVerle reluctantly agreed. Partway through the process, they said there was a crack in the reservoir and they were unable to complete the process. They sent her on her way without replacing the cooling fluids and the car overheated in less than a mile. For a fee of $75 the Cadillac Dealer in Greer found no crack in the reservoir but overheating necessitated replacement of head gaskets. The estimated cost $6,000.
LaVerle began driving the 20-year-old Cadillac that had been driven very little for several years. On Tuesday night three weeks ago, LaVerle headed home and I was in Travelers Rest when my car overheated.
My Dad Was A Visionary
- By Johnnelle Raines - Pickens, SC
My dad, J. M. Jenkins, way back in the 70’s knew what was going to be the downfall of our great Nation ... I remember it very well, sitting around the kitchen table listening to him talk about HUMANISM ... and he was so right on target ... what a visionary. I can now see that his concern for HUMANISM was well-deserved. I honestly believe HUMANISM is the root cause of all the problems we now face. My dad was a visionary. This great Nation is in free fall due to HUMANISM.
For those of you who do not know what HUMANISM is: It is a form of religion that attaches prime importance to the human being rather than GOD. It stresses the value of humans’ needs, and seeks solely to use rational ways of solving problems. It is all about social justice and equality for humans based on each human’s wants or needs ... NOT based on what God’s will is.
Scott, Gowdy Show Their Lighter Side at Greer Event
United States Senator Tim Scott was the featured speaker at a dual county fundraiser last Tuesday evening.

Declare War!
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Congress must declare war. Pardon me for being blunt, but every day we fail to deal with the radical Islamic threat, we are contributing to the eventual death of more Americans. It is the constitutional duty of Congress and no one else has that authority to declare war. Our nation and our people are being attacked and killed by a global enemy. The United States is engaged in an undeclared global war. Many Americans are in denial. Elected officials and the dominant liberal media are lying to the trusting citizens of this country.
Wake up people!
This enemy is more vicious than either the Nazi’s or Japanese. If we don’t stop them there, they will kill you and your loved ones here.
