A legislator asked us the other day what our “beef” was with Jim DeMint & Ellen Weaver?
We don’t necessarily have a “beef” with anyone … but we do believe people should be informed as to exactly what supposedly conservative leaders DO as opposed to what they SAY.
Don’t you?
“Watch what they DO,
not what they SAY.”

We replied to this legislator with a simple question …
“Why would Jim DeMint & Ellen Weaver recommend that the SC Department of Revenue run the SC private school choice program?“
The real question is why would anyone on the planet … much less Jim DeMint & Ellen Weaver … recommend the SC Department of Revenue do anything … much less run a private school choice program?!?!?
Jim DeMint & Ellen Weaver’s Palmetto Promise Institute in May 2016 published a “Legislative Analysis” that gave South Carolina the NATION’S first 100% government run tax credit scholarship program.
It remains the Nation’s only 100% government run tax credit scholarship program … and it is rated the Nation’s worst rated private school choice program.
So why did Jim DeMint & Ellen Weaver recommend the SC Department of Revenue run the private school choice program?
Simple … #FollowTheMoney!!!
Our experience is that Jim DeMint & Ellen Weaver have been staging this financial boondoggle for their “monied special interest” backers for a very long time.
When we were first randomly introduced to Ellen Weaver in early 2014, we could tell them she was “cold”. We were novices in the political world and we were just here to make School Choice in South Carolina successful.
Ellen Weaver & Jim DeMint’s Palmetto Promise Institute had a much different plan than we did … and it all had to do with MONEY, and A LOT OF IT!!! By our analysis, just with the relatively small initial ESA bill (S 39) … over $183 MILLION net-present-value!!! (HERE).
Connecting the Dots:
FITSNEWS, April 2, 2019: … “i.e., keeping people on various payrolls as advocates” … [CONTINUE READING]
Keep connecting the dots friends … and remember … “Watch what they DO, not what they SAY!“
When you are hurting kids … especially K-12 kids with “special needs … and you are doing it apparently just for money … you need to be exposed, and that is our goal with Jim DeMint & Ellen Weaver.
You know, on second thought … maybe we do have a “beef” with Jim DeMint & Ellen Weaver!!! Maybe you should too.
P.S. Senator Tim Scott
P.S. And yes, we are saddened to report that Senator Tim Scott is intimately involved … and it is very disappointing.
If we were wrong, why won’t his Office return our calls … and why was his SC Upstate Director (and her husband) harvested Form 1 Ballots in the 2021 Greenville County Republican Party ReOrg “fraud”?
Senator Scott … if you truly cared about the kids … you would want to solve the SC School Choice Problem … something we think you could do with a phone call.

Primary season is ALMOST OVER!!! Get Out The Vote (GOTV) on Tuesday, June 23rd, 2026 – 7AM to 7PM. www.SCvotes.gov
No, we don’t encourage “betting” … but we do encourage following the BETTING ODDS (aka “Predication Markets”). Polls can be easily manipulated … and these prediction markets can be as well … but when people have to put their money where their mouth is, it is a lot harder to fake.
We love studying these elections … the data, the momentum, the candidate’s personal pros/cons, the donors and the dark money really controlling candidates … the CONSULTANTS … it’s all fascinating.
As we teach, NOTHING is what it seems in politics.
This SC Governor’s campaign will be one to study. The “autopsy” will be amazing. We expect the “Powers that Be“ will start listening to the MAGA / America FIRST grassroots in the future … but we will find out for sure if there are lessons to learn next Tuesday.
