NGU Football Field Sporting New Look for 2023 Season
- By Billy Cannada - NGU
The off-season brought some major changes to Melvin & Dollie Younts Stadium at North Greenville University’s (NGU) Tigerville campus.
NGU recently contracted GEOSurfaces to replace the football turf, which had been in place since the fall semester of 2014.
“It’s state-of-the-art turf and one of the best products out there,” said NGU Athletic Director Jan McDonald. “We’re really excited about it and proud of how it looks. The team is looking forward to playing on it and we’re excited for fans to come see it.”
New Pro-Life Animation Video Series Tackles the Hard Pro-Abortion Talking Points
- By Life Dynamics
DENTON, Texas -- How do we get people engaged in answering the hard pro-abortion talking points? That was the question that founder and president of Life Dynamics, Mark Crutcher wondered. Crutcher's solution was a series of short, animated videos, titled "Abortion Distortion," that touches on a variety of subjects surrounding the abortion issue.
Around a minute in length, the videos are a great tool for every pro-lifer, no matter the age group. The animations, at times comical, grabs the viewers attention while a "no-nonsense pro-lifer" guides viewers through the issues.
EEOC Demands that Employers Provide Access to Abortion
- By Eagle Forum
Paid Leave for Abortion?
Before Senators flew home for August recess, they took a vote on one of President Joe Biden’s nominees to become the commissioner at the Equal Employment Opportunity Council (EEOC). Kalpana Kotagal has actively pushed the transgender movement forward — something that quickly caught the attention of conservatives who opposed her nomination. Shortly after the Senate voted solely along party lines to confirm Kotagal, the EEOC proposed a new rule propping up the abortion industry.
What Price Liberty? A Family Answers The Call
- By Tom DeWeese - American Policy Center
When their ship from the Netherlands docked in the harbor of New Amsterdam (now New York City) in 1688, Garrett Hendricks DeWeese, and his wife Zytian, could not have known of the historic events that would direct the destiny of their future family. Nor could they have known how those future sons and daughters would be central figures in molding those events.
Almost one hundred years after Garrett landed on American soil, his descendent joined others in a great struggle to overthrow the oppressive rule of the King of Great Britain. The growing DeWeese family found themselves heavily involved as some served in the militias, while others served in the Continental army and navy.
Corporate Mergers Are Under Attack, But Not on Your Behalf
- By Veronique de Rugy
Last month, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) published a draft of proposed new guidelines for mergers and acquisitions. Sounds like a problem reserved for people who sit in board rooms, right? Not exactly. Such rules will affect all of us.
If implemented, the proposal will preemptively block private-sector corporate transactions with little regard for the actual impact on consumers. This power grab by progressives in the Biden administration would shift antitrust law from standards that corporations and courts can understand to a series of vague and ambiguous "guidelines" that only give bureaucrats greater power over corporate America.
Jeffrey Sachs on the Path to Peace in Ukraine
- By Canadian Foreign Policy Institute
World-renowned intellectual Dr. Jeffrey Sachs speaks on “The Path to Peace in Ukraine". Sachs was twice named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time and ranked by The Economist among the top three most influential living economists. He will be joined by University of Ottawa Ukraine expert Ivan Katchanovski who will provide background on the conflict in Ukraine as well as the context around Canada's role.
Dr. Jeffrey Sachs was a high-level economic adviser and foreign policy consultant involved as early as 1989 in events leading to the present war in Ukraine. He has first-hand knowledge of how the US financed the Maidan Revolution and coup in 2014 that created a civil war in Ukraine and provoked Russian reaction in February 2022. In this 57-minute Zoom video with a Canadian audience, Jeffrey Sachs tells the truth about the war and the hurricane of lies propagated by Washington and its captive media.
D.C. Circuit Revives Frederick Douglass Foundation's Viewpoint Discrimination Case
- By The Frederick Douglas Foundation
WASHINGTON -- The Frederick Douglas Foundation (FDF), a national grassroots educational organization built on a foundation of righteousness, justice, liberty and virtue, announced that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit revived their lawsuit against the District of Columbia for selective enforcement of the district's defacement ordinance in violation of the First Amendment, reversing the district court's dismissal of the case, Frederick Douglass Foundation v. District of Columbia.
What are the Probabilities of Abiogenesis Occurring?
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The notion that life spontaneously and naturalistically developed from non-living chemicals, also known as abiogenesis, is an absolute necessity of an atheistic worldview. When you see the material in any media by evolutionists on the topic, the impression is given that all you need is the right conditions and proof life is guaranteed to arise. In fact, this is the main idea behind the notion of the existence of alien civilizations in space. The notion is that with all the trillions of stars and planets that exist in the universe, life must have developed on another planet someplace.
Abortion, a Sickness in Our National Soul
- By Star Parker
The resounding defeat of Issue 1 in a statewide vote in Ohio is rightly seen as a repudiation of pro-life forces and cause for soul-searching in the movement.
The initiative, which would have raised the threshold vote for amending the state constitution, was understood to be about abortion, because a ballot measure is expected in November to amend the state constitution to secure abortion "rights."
The measure was defeated 57% to 43% in a state in which Donald Trump defeated Joe Biden in 2020, 53.3% to 45.2%.
Booze Out, Pot In
- By Anne Schlafly, Eagle Forum Chairman
Americans have radically changed their habits on recreational drugs. Today, 22 percent of Americans currently use marijuana, 20 percent regularly drink alcohol, and 11 percent use tobacco, according to a Marist Poll on “Weed and the American Family.”
This change in habits reflect not only the social acceptance of marijuana, but also the ignorance of the many harms of marijuana. Possession of marijuana is still a federal crime because it is a harmful drug. Marijuana has never been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Yet, many people are under the perception that marijuana has health benefits and that marijuana is less harmful than either alcohol or tobacco.

In honor of his memory, we will publish the following article that was published in the 2nd Anniversary edition of the June 5th, 1996 issue of The Times Examiner.
May God be with his family and friends as they prepare to honor a man and a legend here in the upstate of South Carolina. God bless his memory. Details of funeral and visitation arrangements will be forth coming.

Faith, Experience Motivate Publishers
Published by the Editor of The Times Examiner on Wednesday, June 5, 1996
Editor’s note: “How did you ever get into this?” people ask Bob and LaVerle Dill, owners of The Times Examiner. As the paper begins its third year of publication, we’ll try to answer that question and also introduce you to members of our newspaper “family.”
Bob and LaVerle Dill never dreamed they would one day publish a newspaper. In fact, they agreed to an early retirement beginning in July 1980.
No more stress, no more late night and weekend work. It would be wonderful.
But as time passed, there was a void. There was so much to be done, and others seemed too busy to do it.
Back in Greenville County, after an absence of 30 years, except for visits, they noticed that things seemed different. People complained about schools, government, taxes, undependable public officials, declining moral, and ethical standards, and "the media." Greenville was becoming a miniature Washington, DC - a place about which the Dills knew plenty.

In Memory Of A Titan: Bobby Dill
- By W.H. Lamb
We all know it is inevitable—that instant that we breathe out our final breath, perhaps knowing that there is no more “breathing in” the next breath, and we take that first step into Eternity when the “thump, thump, thump” in our chest makes its final “thump”. When our Creator made “man”, we were the only living creature on this planet that realized its own mortality—that knew from our youth that our lives were finite, that we had only so many “heart thumps”—so many sunrises and sunsets—so many changes of seasons—before we joined that vast number of humans who have gone before us, ever since our Creator made the first male and female in His beautiful Garden. That instant, for Col. Bob, came in the early morning of August 14, 2023.
Niger, Nigeria, France, and the West African Crisis
- By Mike Scruggs
The Looming Shadows of War
A Political, Economic, and Military Briefing
The Republic of Niger is a West African nation of 25.4 million people. Its capital, Niamey, has more than a million people. Niger was a French colony until 1958 when it became an autonomous part of the French Community. It declared its full independence in 1960 but maintained strong economic ties to France. The official language of Niger is French, although seven other languages are recognized and widely spoken, including Hausa, Zarma, Fulani, and Arabic. Niger is over 99 percent Muslim. The Niger River flows through Niger, but Niger is landlocked and does not border the Atlantic Gulf of Guinea as does its more populous neighbor Nigeria on its southern border.
Federal School-Choice Suit Raises Questions About Future Court, Legislative Actions
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
A federal appeals court has dismissed a lawsuit claiming that a state constitutional provision banning direct public funding of religious or other private schools in South Carolina was rooted in religious and racial bigotry.
But it’s unclear whether the ruling last month by a panel of the Virginia-based U.S. 4th Court of Appeals will affect legislative efforts to remove the constitutional provision through a statewide ballot measure, or a predicted legal challenge to historic school-choice legislation passed this year.
Planned Parenthood, ACLU Fight to Keep Child Marriage Legal
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
If you think child brides are the stuff of faraway cultures, think again. In 2017, child marriage was legal in all 50 U.S. states. Only recently have survivors started chipping away at the practice, using their nightmarish stories to put a stop to the abuse of (mostly) young girls. California was next in line to outlaw the horror, until a shocking number of national groups swooped in to keep the under-18 unions legal. Who are they and how can they justify their crusade? Answer: social extremists with one goal — protecting teenage abortion and transgenderism.

After the U.S. Credit Downgrade, Let's Talk About a Radical Budgetary Change
- By Veronique de Rugy
Fitch Ratings just downgraded the U.S. government's credit rating due in part to Congress's erosion in governance. Indeed, year after year, we see the same political theater unfold: last-minute deals, deficits and, all too often, the passage of gigantic omnibus spending bills without proper scrutiny, along with repeated debt-ceiling fights and threats of shutdown.
Modern Liberals Are Dangerous People!
- By W.H. Lamb
In the Year of our Lord, 2023, the citizens of our troubled American nation find themselves virtually breaking apart over “politics”; more specifically split down the middle between those who call themselves “conservatives” or “Americanists”, who honor and respect the “old ways” that were codified by our Founders in our Constitution and transmitted long before our Constitution existed to all of mankind through the centuries by God’s Eternal Word (our Bible), and those who call themselves “modernliberals”, who essentially reject almosteverything that conservatives believe in and honor. They love to assure us that they respect that heritage as much as all the rest of us do, but they really don’t! They are LIARS! The “heritage” that modern liberals truly respect is the chaos, repression, death and destruction (of property and Christian sanity) fomented by the FRENCH Revolution of 1789! Those jaundiced Jacobins are the same NOW as they were during the “Reign of Terror” in revolutionary France. The only difference is that now they call themselves “Democrats”!
The Relationship Between Evolution and Abiogenesis
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
When the problems with naturalistic abiogenesis are raised to evolutionists, they will often respond by claiming that evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life. While this is true in the most technical sense, without a specific theory on the origin of life any theory on its subsequent history is a non-starter. It is pointless to postulate that all life on earth is descended from a single common ancestor when you have no way of getting that ancestor. The reason evolutionists insist on separation is because they have no real theory of abiogenesis and in fact it shows universal common descent evolution to be the dead end that it is.
Parents, Authors, and Lawmakers Team Up to Protect Children
- By Eagle Forum
Who is schooling who?
As parents are stocking their shopping carts with pencils, paper, and other classroom items, the cost at the cash register isn’t the biggest thing weighing on their minds. With politics and extreme agendas driving curriculum in public schools, parents are concerned about what their children will face and if they will be able to advocate for their child’s well-being. Incredible responses to this agenda from individuals, organizations, and conservative members of Congress have assured parents that they are willing to stand alongside them in this fight for our children.
Is It Time to Ban Electric Vehicles?
- By Stephen Moore
The New York Fire Department recently reported that so far this year there have been 108 lithium-ion battery fires in New York City, which have injured 66 people and killed 13. According to FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh, "There is not a small amount of fire, it (the vehicle) literally explodes." The resulting fire is "very difficult to extinguish and so it is particularly dangerous."
Last year there were more than 200 fires from batteries from e-bikes, EVs, and other devices.
Greenville Republicans Plan to Censure Six Republican County Council Members

Greenville GOP Resolution to Censure Republican Council Members Who Voted for Tax Increases Passes 1st Vote
At an August 7th, 2023 general business meeting, the Greenville County Republican Party Executive Committeemen got to formally respond to six Republican County Council members who voted for the most recent Greenville County tax increases.
Six out of the ten Republicans that sit on Greenville County Council who voted to raise county taxes were County Council Chairman Daniel Tripp (District 28), Vice Chair Elizabeth Seman (District 24), Joey Russo (District 17), Michael Barnes (District 18), Chris Harrison (District 21), Butch Kirven (District 27). The four that did not were Steve Shaw (District 20), Benton Blount (District 19), Stan Tzouvelekas (District 22), and Rick Bradley (District 26). And of course, the two Democrats voted for the tax increases.

Multiple FBI Offices Targeted American Catholics
- By S.A. McCarthy - The Washington Stand
New evidence is suggesting that the FBI’s attempts to spy on American Catholics were more pervasive than originally stated and the agency’s director may have lied under oath. According to a letter from Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) to FBI director Christopher Wray, documents that the federal law enforcement agency provided to legislators show that an FBI memo detailing plans to spy on “radical traditionalist Catholics” did not originate solely with the Richmond field office, as Wray insisted under oath. Instead, multiple field offices were reportedly involved — namely, offices in Portland and Los Angeles.
