Four Huge America FIRST VICTORIES!!!

York County, Dorchester County, Anderson County, Barnwell County

Published

on

The America FIRST movement had HUGE WINS over the past few days with clean sweeps in several counties.

> YORK COUNTY

York was probably the biggest win with an overwhelming victory in favor of Chairman Elect Larry Barnett and his team taking every position in county party leadership.

The York County Republican Party victory was particularly sweet after …

#1)  An “anonymous” hit-piece mailer (now linked to Chad Connelly & the SCGOP … and it apparently backfired bigtime) was sent to York Delegates slandering Jeff Davis, his wife Olga Lisinska & mySCGOP … and

#2)  Freedom Caucus Congressman Ralph Norman (who also endorsed Nikki Haley for President on 2/15/2023) sent an endorsement letter for the then current “establishment” State EC … slandering the America First group as “so-called ‘patriots'”.

Congressman Norman’s endorsed RINO candidate received only 12% of the vote.

#WatchWhatTheyDoNotWhatTheySay!!!

> DORCHESTER COUNTY

Dorchester County also had a huge win with the RE-ELECTION of State Executive Committeeman Joe Cali with a landslide victory 63% (to 37) of the vote.  The America FIRST team rallied behind Joe … and also swept 27 of the 29 State Delegates as well.  #GreatJob!!!

Joe was specifically targeted for VOTING FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY (and for simply talking to the “lepers” as Drew McKissick publicly called us in press articles).  Establishment legislators came out in force with endorsements against Joe … but that backfired as well!!!

As in York County … it is clear LEGISLATOR ENDORSEMENTS DO NOT WORK!!!

Your local county GOP is there to HOLD LEGISLATORS ACCOUNTABLE.  Why would anyone think that a legislator endorsement is a good thing???  

Some people are still playing the old school political game seeking political endorsements … not realizing that times have changes.  Truth & Transparency is the new new thing!!!

> BARWELL COUNTY

In our most special win, patriots in Barnwell County have been diligently organizing … working the numbers … and biding their time … and last night they finally had their convention.

Chairwoman Elect Billie Brant absolutely crushed it in Barnwell with a huge victory.  Billie and her husband Roland have been steadfast patriots throughout … so we can not be more excited for their teams victory.  Larry Hutto will be the new State Executive Committeeman … and we can not wait to see them both in Columbia at the SCGOP State EC meetings.

NOTE, these are not positions for life .. or family dynasties:  The Chairman for Barnwell has been there from at least 2009 from what we can tell … and his wife was also the State EC.  It seems it was time for a change.

Sore Losers?:   We also did notice that the long term Facebook group for the BCRP (run by the outgoing Chairman since 2009 as well) was “paused” yesterday.  We assume after the convention loss … but we will see what we can find out.  You will find it is typical that after a loss, the old guard likes to take their toys and go home.  

We can attest that at least in Greenville, the old guard burned the house down on the way out.  The entire GCRP office was stripped bare of any paperwork and files … and the long term Facebook page was “rebranded” for the newly formed SCGOP Upstate RINO club.

> ANDERSON COUNTY

Finally, in what is most assuredly the most controversial county party election (in a good way) was last nights election of former SC House Rep. and now Chairman Elect Jonathon Hill … and the re-election of long term “thorn in the side of the establishment” State Executive Committeeman Dan Harvell.

Jonathon Hill famously was “kicked out” of the SC House Republican Caucus … so Jonathon was Freedom Caucus before there was a Freedom Caucus.

You may also recall that current SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick and the SCGOP State Executive Committee (they should not get a pass) meddled in Jonathon’s June 2020 primary by sending mailers in support of his opponent.

The SCGOP hit-piece mailers FAILED and Jonathon was re-elected in 2020 … but it will be exciting times for sure to see the the duo of Jonathon Hill & Dan Harvell at the upcoming SC State Executive Committee meetings in Columbia.  

#Winning!!!
[Note, Jonathon moved homes in 2022, thus changing districts, and did not seek re-election.]

Ephesians 4:2-3

Published

on

Unity of mission through humility, mutual respect and patience while recognizing boundaries and being able to put mission first creates a path to success in any undertaking. By stepping away from toxic behavior you model humility, refusing to contribute to gossip or drama protecting your character and influence. The scripture’s call to “make every effort” acknowledges that unity and peace require intentional mission oriented work, especially in a polarized environment.

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”

Ephesians 4:2-3

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), governments and leaders are part of His sovereign plan, even if imperfect. Our leaders’ responsibility is to govern justly, as their authority is a divine trust.

Happy Sunday!

Choosing the Right Candidate: A Thoughtful Approach

(#1) Electable & (#2) Collaborative

Published

on

by Jeff Davis

As we head into the 2026 South Carolina Primaries next June 9th, Republican (and Democrat) voters will be faced with picking which Republican (or Democrat) they want to represent them in the general election. It will be a choice we each have to make among the available options … the 2, 3 or 5 candidates that filed and are on the ballot … and there is no “None Of The Above” option.  Sure, you don’t have to vote … but don’t complain later when you sat out the election.

We are seeing already … the jockeying by political consultants and their operatives to push their candidate (and tear down the opponents) … and the “PERFECTIONISTS” that complain about every candidate, but offer no solutions (and are not willing to run for office themselves).

A THOUGHTFUL APPROACH:  Selection of a candidate to support is not easy.  None of them are perfect, and how much can you really believe from what you hear on the campaign trail.  What we like to encourage is that everyone think critically and logically about candidates and their campaigns, and steer clear as best you can of the emotional knee-jerk reactions that often dominate the discussions.

IT IS NOT JUST THE CANDIDATE – LOOK AT THEIR TEAM:  While it’s tempting to focus solely on the candidate, it’s equally important to examine the people they surround themselves with. If you’re unaware of a candidate’s consultants (and their motivations), staff (and their roles), or the candidate’s supporters (who will inevitable have the ear of the candidate), it’s wise to hold off on offering your support. Ultimately, it’s not just about the candidate—it’s about their TEAM (or the “baggage” that comes with them).

We like to prioritize two key qualities when evaluating candidates:

(#1) Electability:  A candidate (a) willing to run for office and (b) capable of winning.  You may know the “perfect” person, but if they won’t run for office or are not capable of winning … what good are they?

(#2) Collaboration and Integrity:  A candidate open to working with The People, with the grassroots, willing to listen, eager to include The People as part of their TEAM, and genuinely committed to doing what’s objectively right for the people—not just themselves (or their monied special interest backers).  Here is where experience and judgment comes into consideration because you really don’t know what a candidate might do once elected.  We have helped candidates get elected – and then never spoken with them again (not by our choice).  Being lied to is a hard lesson to learn.

This process of selecting a candidate to back is both an art and a science, and while we may never find the “perfect” candidate, we can identify and support those who meet these two criteria and give us the best odds of promoting the conservative cause … at least until the next election when we will have another chance to try again.

THE TRUMP OF 2016:  Reflecting on the field of “candidates” in 2016 … and the original “candidate” DONALD J. TRUMP … I believe that original candidate TRUMP, embodied these qualities, and that approach has proven effective in helping Save America.

STOP LOOKING FOR A “POLITICAL SAVIOR”:  Most importantly, let’s remember, no candidate will save us. There is only one true “Savior”, and He is not running for office. Our work continues, so don’t think you are off the hook if your person gets elected.  But having the right people – dedicated TEAM players – in elected positions from top to bottom can make all the difference.

Be smart … be logical … don’t be emotional … and don’t just complain, complain, complain.

TRUMP Shares Nancy MACE Polling Lead for Governor

Mace Leads with 25% over Wilson at 17%

Published

on

TRUMP Truth Social Post (HERE)

The NANCY MACE campaign released polling numbers yesterday showing a commanding early lead in the South Carolina Governor’s Race … 25% MACE, 17% Alan Wilson, 10% Ralph Norman, 6% Pamela Evette, 3% Josh Kimbrell … with 38% Lean / Undecided.  You can see the full reports HERE & below.

The polling results show MACE separating herself from the crowd since officially launching her candidacy last week and announcing AUSTIN MCCUBBIN (HERE), the 2024 TRUMP Team Statewide Director, has joined her team.  This all seems to make MACE the early odds on favorite to win the Republican Primary next June 9th, 2026 … 294 days from today.

You can find more details on FITSNews (HERE & on X HERE) … but the real story broke when President TRUMP himself shared the MACE Polling Lead on his TRUTH Social (HERE) last night at 9:29pm.  When the POTUS shares your leading polling data with the world … that is a not so subtle message.

Good news for NANCY MACE …  but and incredibly bad sign for Lt. Governor Pamela Evette who is in a distant 4th with 6% of the vote.  The Lt. Governor has led folks to believe she has TRUMP’s endorsement locked up.  Well, that claim did not seem believable at the time … and really doesn’t appear believable now.  When was the last time TRUMP endorsed someone in 4th place???  We can’t remember either.

Stay tuned … it is going to be a fun 2026 primary season!!!

Romans 13:1-2

Published

on

Governments and leaders are part of His sovereign plan, even if imperfect. Our leaders’ responsibility is to govern justly, as their authority is a divine trust. All authority is ultimately accountable to God. We always encourage and expect politicians and leaders on ANY level to act with integrity, knowing their role carries divine responsibility, and most importantly we urge ourselves and other citizens to hold leaders and their followers accountable to those ethical standards.

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted.”

Romans 13:1-2

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), our life choices have consequences. The meaningful decisions we make may not be the popular ones, often require efforts and sacrifice.

Happy Sunday!
