Corruption in Government
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Is the government of South Carolina corrupt, or are all the allegations being surfaced false? Voters and taxpayers need to know the truth and a few brave souls are trying to make that happen.
For several years, I have been studying the life of Wade Hampton III. The third Wade Hampton was a wealthy South Carolina Plantation owner who pledged everything but his principles and honor to the defense of his state. He sacrificed his wealth and worldly possessions in defense of the Palmetto State. A decade after the War for Southern Independence, he led the “Second American Revolution” in 1876 to rid South Carolina of the most corrupt state government in the history of the United States. That corrupt government, headed by Governor Moses “the Robber Governor” was kept in power by 96,000 black troops with bayonets, backed by the federal government.
Jane Robelot Discusses Media and Politics
- By Press Release
Greenville County Republican women at the Poinsett Club last Thursday remembered Jane Robelot from the Tiger Tailgate Show with Russ Cassell and CBS Morning programming from New York. Now Robelot is anchoring the morning news on WGTK FM 94.5 with Mike Gallagher opposite Cassell on WORD 106.3.
Single when she left the Upstate for the big city, Robelot is now happily married with a 14-year-old son. She has lost none of her southern charm and thrilled her audience with stories about interviews with well-known personalities including Bill and Hillary Clinton,
Robelot has strong family ties to Greenville. Her uncle was Major. Rudolf Anderson, the U-2 Pilot killed during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The Enemy Within
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The most frequent question asked by media and politicians since the Boston Marathon massacre is: “Why did they do it?”
The fact that this question is asked at all is an indication of the effectiveness of the politically correct pro-Islamic propaganda prom-ulgated by the Obama Administration.
The answer is clear: “These brothers are Muslims who received the call from a Jihad leader somewhere in the world to carry out a command to “Kill Infidels!” It was a command from their god. They surely felt honored to be called upon to serve their master. That should not be difficult to figure out, with the facts available. Yet moronic liberals continue to say such things as: “This may be a lone act by young people like happened at Columbine.” How ignorant!
The Booth Brothers
- By Keith Crowe
This week’s article is about a group of young men from Brandon, Florida, called The Booth Brothers.
As I said these men are young but the story goes back a lot further than these young men do. It all started with their dad, Ron Booth, and he was a long way from Florida when he got his start in gospel music.
Ron was born in West Virginia and moved to Detroit when he was thirteen years old and this is where the singing began. Ron had a brother named Charles and they began singing together. Soon after these two began to sing three other brothers joined the group and this was the beginning of the Booth Brothers. All this happened along about 1957.
Free Electricity at Taxpayer’s Expense
- By James "Chip" Moore
In 2009 Greenville County installed dual electric car charging stations with funds awarded through the Recovery Act: County of Greenville, SC Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant. These stations are located outside of 301 University Ridge. For over three years these charging stations have been available to the public free of charge.
The electricity that powers each station ties into the building’s electricity and is not a separate entity. Although it is reported that the stations are used sparingly, the funds to support these stations come out of the building’s electricity fund.
The purpose of the award is to implement the County’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy in order to reduce fossil fuel emissions; reduce total energy use of eligible entities; and improve energy efficiency in the building sector, transportation sector, and other appropriate sectors, along with creating jobs.
Betty Poe Reelected Greenville County GOP Chair
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Sen. Tim Scott Headlined Convention Speakers
More than 500 delegates from precincts across Greenville County elected Betty Poe to serve another term as Chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party. Mrs. Poe has devoted more than a decade of her life almost exclusively to strengthening the Republican Party in Greenville County and South Carolina. As president of the Greenville County Republican Women’s Club, president of the South Carolina Federation of Republican Women and chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party, Betty Poe is known across the nation as the Republican woman of action in the Palmetto State. She recently became the first South Carolinian in more than three decades to be elected to an office of vice president on the staff of the National Federation of Republican Women.
Wade Hampton Memorial Service
- By Robert Slimp
The Wade Hampton Camp No. 273 held it’s 11th annual celebration of the life and accomplishments of one of South Carolina’s most distinguished heroes on Sunday afternoon, April 7, at 2 o’clock.
More than one hundred people attended this event – besides the Wade Hampton Camp, SCV members, and interested people from different parts of South Carolina.
The Memorial service itself, was held in Keenan Chapel, which is part of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. Immediately prior to the program was a concert by the Maplewood band, led by CPA Don Jones. They played on string instruments, The Rebel Soldier, What A Friend We have in Jesus, and The Old Rugged Cross, and, of course, “Dixie.”
Medicaid Expansion: What You Hear vs. What You See
- By Dr. Keith Smith
The strongest advocate for expanding Medicaid—and the likely source of funding for the massive advertising campaign—is the hospital lobby.
We hear that hospitals are going broke. They can’t make ends meet. The uninsured are breaking the hospitals’ backs from emergency room over-utilization. Hospitals won’t survive unless Medicaid is expanded. (This is the most interesting claim, as hospitals simultaneously complain that underpayment by Medicaid justifies their cost-shifting to others!)
These are the lies that are primarily responsible for bringing us ObamaCare.
But if we look around us, what do we see?
The Pulpit Is Responsible For It
- By Chuck Baldwin
The famed 19th Century revivalist and major contributor to America’s “Second Great Awakening,” Charles Finney, said the following: “If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discernment, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in Christianity, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it.” I believe Finney was absolutely correct.
Immigration Reform: Plan to Perpetuate Democrat Control for a Century
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Democrats have a plan to retain control of the United States Government for the next century. They already own most African-Americans. They will have a long-term lock on “modern slavery” if they can own several millions more Hispanic-Americans. President Obama has already taken a major step in that direction by giving status to all Hispanics born and schooled in this country to illegal aliens and others. They may bring their relatives across the border to join them. The administration plans to seal the deal with “Immigration Reform.”
The Gang of Eight in the United States Senate have agreed on a plan that appears to have smooth sailing through the Senate. The plan would apparently allow all illegal “immigrants” to remain in the country and be given work permits in return for promises that security on the southern border would be tightened.
Samuel Harms Runs for SCGOP Chairman
- By Press Release
This week, Samuel Harms announced that he was running for Chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party. Harms is the former Chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party. In his announcement that he was running, Harms stated that when he was responsible for precinct reorganization, 1069 people came to the precinct meetings in Greenville County. It was the largest reorganization effort in the State that year, and the largest in Greenville County for approximately the past 20 years. At the county convention that he managed, there were 812 delegates. To put that in perspective, there are only 860 (whole) delegates at a State Party convention.
Cash To Challenge Lindsey Graham
- By James "Chip" Moore
Powdersville businessman Richard Cash has announced that he will run against Senator Lindsey Graham. Cash declared an official candidacy in his home county, speaking before the Anderson County GOP Convention on Monday night, April 15th. In 2010, Cash came close to capturing the GOP nomination for the third congressional district, losing in a run-off by a narrow margin to Rep. Jeff Duncan.
Cash says, “After 20 years in Washington, Senator Graham is out of touch with South Carolina values and voters. It is time for a new voice in Washington. We need a voice that represents Christian, conservative, and Republican principles instead of the latest bi-partisan ‘deal’ that simply makes matters worse.”
Obamacare Driving Doctors from Practice?
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Gaston Memorial Hospital in North Carolina has Reportedly Lost 20 Doctors in Recent Months
Patients are already feeling the impact of Obamacare. Suddenly there are very few physicians with private practice. They have been bought up by hospital conglomerates as the result of the necessity to have access to hospitals for their patients, to benefit from group insurance rates and other reasons.
Hospitals are now reportedly receiving financial incentives from the government for reducing the cost of treating Medicare patients. This creates a barrier between the patient and the physician who can no longer treat the patient to the best of his ability, but must follow guidelines required by the government and imposed on the physician by the hospital system.
Annual Minority Health Summit
- By Gilbert Scales
The 7th Annual Greenville Health System Minority Health Summit was held at the Bi-Lo Center on Saturday.
The focus of this year’s event was obesity and the toll it takes on African-Americans in Greenville County.
“Greenville County alone has a 67% obesity rate – yet weight has a way of faking us out,” said Summit Organizer Melinda Hudson Gillispie, BSN, RN, Coordinator GHS Community Relations. “Most of us may think we could ‘stand to lose a few pounds,’ but very few of us realize where we actually stand in relationship to being obese or overweight.”

Downtown Memphis – Guitars, Chinese Art, Firefighting and a Pyramid
- By Terry M. Thacker
“If you are caught taking pictures inside the factory you will be removed from the tour and your pictures will be deleted.” This was the general gist of a statement that I and a group of more than a dozen other tourists heard before we embarked on a guided tour of the Gibson guitar plant in Memphis.
I was three days into a sight-seeing trip to northern Alabama, northern Mississippi and southwestern Tennessee this past August when I found myself on the receiving end of this stern warning. After visiting several other sites in the Memphis area, I left my car at the Tennessee Welcome Center, located near the Mud Island tourist attraction, and rode the trolley to Main Street, where I disembarked.
One More Time!
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Blue Ridge native Aaron Tippin launched his musical career with a song titled: If You Don’t Stand for Something, You Will Fall for Anything. The common-sense song was very popular during the Gulf War.
It is also instructive to recognize that “the people perish for lack of knowledge.” Our nation is in jeopardy and Americans are in danger of losing their freedom for lack of knowledge and unwillingness to take a stand against evil. Thousands of young adults voted for Barack Obama twice because of a lack of truthful knowledge. Thousands of Conservatives and Christians failed to vote in the presidential election due to lack of knowledge of the impact of their actions.
Calvin Newton
This week’s article is somewhat unusual in that I am writing about someone who sang gospel music but along the way made some mistakes and had to pay for his mistakes and is currently back singing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This person is Calvin Newton.
His music career begins, as so many folks do, by singing with his family. Calvin’s father was a Church of God minister and had high hopes for his son to follow in his footsteps but Calvin had other ideas. Newton said that he had seen the hardships his father had gone through as a minister and he did not want to face those same hardships. While singing with his family Calvin had been a part of a radio broadcast on WEBQ out of Harrisburg, Illinois, so he decided that maybe he could be a gospel singer. His father wanted him to attend Lee College so he did for a while and this is where his singing career got a jump-start.
Special Operations Veterans Demanding Benghazi Justice
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
“They Went to the Sound of the Guns. They Were Saving People, but they Couldn't be Saved Themselves Because of the Ineptitude or the Political Chicanery of an Administration that doesn't even care about the Military.”
Seven hundred retired military Special Operations personnel who voluntarily put their lives on the line for their country, have signed a petition demanding that the U. S. House of Representatives convene a special (select) committee to uncover the answers to lingering questions about the Benghazi terrorist attack that killed a U. S. Ambassador and three others, including two Navy SEALs. Members of the Special Operations “brotherhood” ranging from four-star generals to Army privates signed the petition, according to a spokesman for the veterans group Special Operations Speaks. A letter to Congressional leaders contained 16 questions that veterans believe need better answers.
Sheriff’s Office Receives Annual DUI
- By Deputy Jonathan Smith
On April 3rd the South Carolina Department of Public Safety held its 8th annual DUI enforcement recognition and 2012 Law Enforcement DUI Challenge Ceremonies in Columbia. Law Enforcement officers and agencies were recognized for their efforts in 2012 to enforce that state’s DUI laws by locating and arresting impaired drivers from South Carolina’s roadways.
“Civil War” Cockades Presented by Heather Sheen
- By Jennifer Sawyer
The JB Kershaw Chapter UDC was delighted to have Heather Sheen of Greenville #51 UDC present “Civil War” Cockades at their March 19 meeting. Heather has probably become a national authority on the subject as she began researching the topic before the Sesquicentennial of the Firing on Ft. Sumter, April, 2011. In fact, she was contacted by the producers of the recent movie “Les Miserable” and asked if she could provide 3000 cockades for opening night of the movie! Little did they know that these are hand-made and could not be done in three short weeks.
Chapter ladies found the topic very interesting as well as the items she brought with her, some of which she had made, and others from different time periods in history. Heather apologized for calling it the “Civil War” as that is not the correct name for this period in history. But, in order to move along quickly and cover a lot of information, she used this shortened name.
Weak Republicans in the U.S. Senate
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is the man Republicans count on to make a maximum effort to defeat Obamacare in the United States Senate. He sounded great on C-Span when he denounced Obamacare at the Conservative Political Action Conference. He dramatically stood by the six-foot tall stack of more than 20,000 pages of regulations that have been issued so far to implement Obamacare, and announced that 828 pages of new regulations had been issued in just one day.
McConnell sounds tough on the Senate floor with television cameras present. “This law is a disaster waiting to happen,” he insisted. “Imagine the burden we’re placing on the single mom who wants to open her own store. Or the young entrepreneur who wants to sell some new idea. Or the business owner we all know back home – the folks who employ so many of our constituents. We’re hitting them with a brick of regulations.
Republicans Urge Withdrawal from “Common Core State Standards Initiative”
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Resolutions Passed Opposing Federally Dictated Intrusive Unfunded Education Mandate
The Greenville County Republican Women’s Club during their March luncheon meeting at the Poinsett Club unanimously passed a resolution asking state leaders to take four actions to distance South Carolina from the education Common Core State Standards Initiative and the SBAC assessment scheme.
Common Core is described by opponents as “an attempt by progressive education “reformers” in Washington, D.C. to herd the states into national standards, eventually culminating in a national curriculum. The Obama Administration used stimulus money and “Race to the Top” grants to create incentives for 45 states and the District of Columbia to accept the mandates. Currently sixteen states have withdrawn or are in the process of doing so.
Greenville Begins Bike Share Program
- By James "Chip" Moore
Scheduled to open in the Spring of 2013 Greenville County will begin in the next-next-generation bike-sharing program. With several stations located around Downtown, participants will be able to rent bicycles from a B-cycle station and return it to any other B-station when they are done.
B-cycle is the only bike-sharing program that measures the actual distance traveled on each ride and keeps track of the calories burned and the carbon emissions prevented. This service is available for members that sign up online by creating their own personal online profile.
Opening of the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library at Beauvoir, Biloxi, Mississippi
- By Pam Evans
The Sons of Confederate Veterans held its 2013 Sesquicentennial Heritage Rally on Saturday, March 16, 2013, in Biloxi, Mississippi, at the opening of the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library and Museum on the grounds of Beauvior, the last home of President and Mrs. Jefferson Davis in the years following the War Between the States. Beauvoir was the site of his retirement and the place where he wrote his two-volume memoir, The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government. Following his death, the home was sold to the Mississippi Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans with two stipulations:first, the property was to be used as a Confederate Veterans Home for the veterans and their widows at no charge to them.
“Uncle Joe” Learning to Waste Money
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
As a career United States Senator, Vice President Joe Biden made a big deal out of riding the train from Delaware to Washington. He identified with the “common man” and “blue collar” worker. As Vice President in his second term and visions of never being held accountable for his actions, he has “thrown caution to the wind.” Into his fifth year as partner with the spender in chief, Uncle “crazy” Joe has learned to live “high on the hog” using the taxpayers’ money.
Biden has apparently always played the dual roll of “poor man” and the “elite Senator,” depending on who he is with at the time. Some would say he is a very versatile phony. When he was contemplating running for president, Biden visited a church in Greenville. The church family prepared a fantastic breakfast of eggs, bacon, gravy, hot “cat head” biscuits and a variety of fruit and treated Biden with the highest degree of Southern hospitality.
Tim Tebow and the Preacher
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Pastor Responds to Tebow Cancellation of Speaking Engagement
New York Jets Quarterback Tim Tebow had been scheduled to speak at the dedication of Dallas, Texas, First Baptist Church’s new $130 million campus next month.
First Baptist Pastor Robert Jeffress has been a strong advocate for traditional marriage between one man and one woman and has been an uncompromising supporter of Biblical truth.
The liberal media, politicians and some so-called Protestant pastors have attacked Pastor Jeffress for his lack of support and agreement with Muslim, Catholic and Mormon doctrine.
