The U.K.’s Mail Online reported Monday that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has published a draft solicitation for immigration ID cards in anticipation of a surge in immigrants. The report was relayed by Breitbart.
The proposal anticipates a need for a minimum of 4 million cards to be issued by 2016. It is estimated that as many as 34 million cards will be printed before the surge of immigrants levels off.

On Saturday, October 4, on a beautiful fall day, my wife and I took a trip on the Summerville Steam Special, which runs each Saturday in the month of October. We rode on Steam Locomotive 4501 (2-8-2) built in 1911 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. The engine has been restored to its original condition and is the flagship steam engine of the railroad. The TVRR owns three steam engines: 610, 630 and 4501.
We departed the Chattanooga railroad station on a 9-hour round trip ride to Summerville, GA, passing by diverse scenery including the Chickamauga Civil War Battlefield where the Confederates had been successful. On the way to Summerville, we dined in a restored 1922 dining car and had an excellent lunch. The staff, conductors, and crewmen were extremely hospitable and informative. The train consisted of a variety of restored old rolling stock. Our particular car, a Pullman built in 1922, was in excellent condition. The railroad operates many diverse train rides on the main line.

All Sales Tax Money Will not be Spent in Greenville County and 95% of the $673 million will not be used to fix Roads and Bridges
Opponents of the largest tax increase in the history of Greenville County government are attempting to correct the misinformation they say advocates of the tax are including in pro-tax brochures.
A one cent increase in the current sales tax in Greenville County would be an increase of 17 percent. This is a substantial additional cost for an individual or family on a fixed income.
A pro-tax brochure “paid for by the SC Association of Realtors” states that “there will be a lot of information and misinformation about this issue. They proceed to answer questions and make statements that are misleading or incorrect.
