- By Bob Dill, Publisher
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13 KJV

Both sides of Kris “Tanto” Paronto’s business card has the same message: “John 15:13.” The United States is most fortunate to have active duty and veteran military personnel that not only uphold their oath to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” but also willingly give their lives in order to save the lives of their comrades.
A few hundred Upstate citizens had a rare opportunity last Wednesday and Thursday to meet a legitimate living hero and hear a true and accurate account of what happened during the Benghazi attack. Kris “Tanto” Paronto was one of the survivors of the attack on the U.S. State Department Special Mission compound in Benghazi, Libya, on the night of September 11, 2012.

The sights and sounds of yesteryear came alive in Pendleton on Saturday as Ashtabula celebrated Old Farm Day.
Antique gas engines powered a plethora of machines, including a cotton gin and a hay bailer, just to name a few. Antique tractors and automobiles were on display as well.
The coolness of the day did not deter hundreds of people of all ages from coming out to enjoy the event. While some spectators meandered over the front lawn, inspecting the various and sundry exhibits, other visitors paid an extra $3.00 to take a guided tour, given by young ladies dressed in hoop skirts, of the Ashtabula mansion, which served as the backdrop for the day's festivities.

Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin addressed a crowd of more than two-hundred at the TD Center in Greenville last Thursday evening.
Walker mingled with the crowd and posed for photos with supporters prior to the sit-down BBQ supper. He appeared very comfortable with friends, some of which supported his political campaigns in his home state.
The Governor thanked attendees for their prayers during his recall-election battles that involved vicious demonstration by his opponents. “Don’t stop praying,” he said.
Governor Walker, who has two young sons, said he was concerned about the safety of future generations of Americans. He said that was his motivation for seeking the presidency. He listed a number of his accomplishments as Governor of Wisconsin and said he wanted to do some of the same things in Washington, DC.
Cruz is First Top-Tier Movement Conservative Candidate Since Reagan

- By Press Release
MANASSAS, Va., -- Christian Newswire -- Richard A. Viguerie releases the following statement and is available for comment:
Today's official announcement that Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is running for president changes everything in the 2016 presidential campaign.
Ted Cruz isn't running for Vice President or Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the Jeb Bush administration.
Every Republican candidate for president will have to move significantly to the right, starting with Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, and define their position on amnesty for illegal aliens, on fighting and winning the war radical Islam has declared on America, on spending, the deficit and the debt, and on repealing Obamacare, against the positions Ted Cruz will talk about and campaign on in the coming months.

American Worker Making More than $60,000 per year, “Your Job is up for Grabs”
A bill before the United States Senate would triple the number of “guest workers” under the H-1B guest worker Visa program, according to testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee recently.
Howard University Professor Ron Hira told the committee that the Senate “I-Squared” bill would triple the number of guest workers for high tech jobs and send a message to American workers making over $60,000 annually that “your job is up for grabs.”
The professor informed the committee that “it is a myth that companies pay guest workers prevailing wages and actively look first for Americans to fill the jobs that are eventually given to H-1B guest workers.”

- By Bob Dill, Publisher
The Obama Administration has apparently selected Spartanburg County as a “Refugee Seed Community” as part of the controversial plan to root-out western European culture and traditions from American conservative communities. A World Relief contractor is establishing an office in Spartanburg, according to a report by Lisa Pandone Benson, a national security expert tracking Muslim influence in the United States.
The report indicates that Jason Lee, former pastor of Oak Grove Baptist Church, has been named executive director of the Spartanburg office. Lee was pastor of Oak Grove Baptist Church for more than 5 years according to the report.
He is also a leader with Come Closer Spartanburg, a partnership of faith leaders, Christians and business leaders with a mission to “unite God’s people for the purpose of loving our city to Christ.”
