Like Father, Like Son? Not Always!
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
“Like father, like son”. We’ve all heard this saying in the past, I’m sure. In the normal scheme of things those words are often true but sometimes they miss the mark totally. I, for one, am nothing like my father was—not as a teen or an adult. Despite his being an every weekend abuser of alcohol for all of my growing up years, my father always earned enough to keep me and my mother, and later my younger sister, well cared for. He was an unloving and “distant” parent, an atheist who never did learn how to communicate with me or ever express love for his family, and my mother was always my stay-at-home Mom, providing the love and attention so lacking in my father toward all of us.

The Ruinous Consequences of Commercialized Marijuana
“Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.”
On November 6, 2012, Colorado voters passed Proposition 64 with a 55 percent majority, changing the state constitution to legalize and regulate “recreational” marijuana for residents aged 21 or more. Proposition 64 was actually written by two attorneys favoring both legalization and commercialization of marijuana. Their campaign was largely and lavishly financed by George Soros’s Drug Policy Alliance (DPA), which overwhelmed the underfunded organization of volunteers opposing it. It became effective on January 1, 2014, and birthed a nightmare of poorly regulated commercialized high-potency marijuana production and sales. Its political and commercial boosters promised lower crime rates and more efficient use of law enforcement to focus on serious crimes.
What In The World Is The “Geneva Bible”?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
For the past 70 or more years, ever since the “modern” translations of God’s Word, our Holy Bible, began to appear on the scene, there have been dire predictions that “the Apocalypse” was about to come upon us, that the moon would turn to blood, and that the “end of the world” was imminent. We still hear many of these same unfounded fears. What has prompted these warnings from otherwise rational believers with their concerns regarding the affect that newer or more modern Bible translations will have upon the world of Protestant Christendom?
Voting Rights for Immigrants
- Details
- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
Contrary to the reasoning of Stephen Goss (Opinion, 4-28-19 in an upstate newspaper) neither “illegal aliens” nor “legal immigrants” have a “moral right” to vote in local elections of the host country simply based on paying taxes locally. Stephen concedes only citizens’ should vote in state and national elections but feels “illegal aliens” and “legal immigrants” should be entitled to vote in local elections by vitue of paying some local taxes. But voting in local elections is just the first step to easily expanding the argument to state and national elections. After all there are income taxes, sales taxes and many other “taxes’ also paid by “illegal aliens” and “legal immigrants” too! Actually, drifters and transients even pay some form of local taxes such as Accommodations and Hospitality taxes. Should they vote? Once you get on local voting roles with the necessary state identification or driver’s license the next step to state and national elections is inevitable!

The Politics and Consequences of Commercialized Pot
According to Ben Cort, drug addiction consultant, counselor, and author of Weed Inc.—The Truth about THC, the Pot Lobby, and the Commercial Marijuana Industry, published in 2017, billionaire “social justice” financier George Soros has spent over $100 million to commercialize high-potency marijuana products in the United States. This money has mostly been run through Soros’s Drug Policy Alliance (DPA). Cort, a successful business owner and former addict himself, became an active leader opposing the DPA and its commercial, media, and political allies attempting to legalize and commercialize the cannabis industry in his home state of Colorado. The battle took the form of a proposed amendment to change Colorado’s Constitution to legalize, “regulate” and commercialize the cannabis (marijuana) industry. It was called Proposition 64.
As Europe Goes, So Goes America?

Several years ago, my wife’s cousin in Washington State sent her a disturbing email. She added her comments: “I thank God that I’m the age I am, for I would hate to see what is coming to America—in fact, what may already be here.” I kept her email on file because it so bothered me that I didn’t want to consign it to cyber oblivion. I read it again recently, and I’ve decided that it must be shared with concerned patriots who read this great digital purveyor of truth known as The Times Examiner.
Upstate Newspapers

Big circulation newspapers in upstate South Carolina do not reflect the political views of most upstate voting residents; or, even present a reasonably balanced view in opinions and news coverage about political issues. They are basically Socialists!
