State Delegate List – Yes it was WITHHELD!

Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.

Published

on

We have had a lot of people lately comment on how it was “impossible” for us to have beat Drew McKissick given the fact the SCGOP withheld the list of the 943 State Delegates, and withheld the list of the 943 State Alternates, to the convention on May 20th.

Yes, that is true … the SCGOP withheld the delegate list … and yes, how can you clear up the lies and rumors if you don’t even know “who” you need to clear up the lies and rumors with?

LOL … that is OK … well, not really, but we are not going to cry about it to all of you. What we are going to do is to keep doing our work and come back in MAY 2025 with 75 – 80% of the delegates and have the biggest celebration of an SCGOP State Convention anyone has ever seen!!!

And no … you can’t win with 50% + 1 when you are the outsider / underdog … at least you can’t win that way against people willing to “cheat” the process.

Evidence the List was Withheld:

It is always a fair question to request the “back-up” that supports anything we say. So a few people have asked for proof that we asked the SCGOP for the State Delegate List … and proof that the SCGOP refused to provide us with the list. Well, that is easy, so here it is:

On May 8th @ 9:18am, Mike Voaden, the then current Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) State Executive Committeeman formally requested the state delegate list. Mike sent a follow-up email on May 9th @ 10:38am.

On May 11th @ 9:49am, Mark Bonnoitt, with the SCGOP, responded that per some 2020 vote by the State EC it was prohibited for the SCGOP to distributing the State Delegate List. Comical right!!!

No restrictions on sharing State EC list!!!

Why it Makes No Sense:

Obviously that answer from the SCGOP is completely devoid of any logic whatsoever.

1. A previous State Executive Committee (one from the first half of 2020) can not legally bind a future State Executive Committee without a change in the Rules. Plus, if such “vote” exists … can the SCGOP show us the minutes from this meeting … and what the vote actually said?

2. Rules, Rules, Rules!!! The “establishment” leadership at the SCGOP, DO NOT follow “rules”… obviously. There is no specific rule on this matter … but there is a clear precedent under Rule 4(c)(10) that candidates should be given a copy of the delegate list.

Furthermore, Rule 2(a) clearly states that the Rules should be applied so as to substantially accomplish their objectives.

And if that was not enough, Rule 2(a) clearly states that the spirit and not the letter of the law controls. Isn’t it clear the intent was to allow all candidates to have delegate lists … county and state!!!

The Rules:

SCGOP Rules

Correct us “if” we are Wrong!!!

If we are wrong about any of the above … write us and show us what is wrong? We have run this by A LOT of people …. and it is clear that the SCGOP bent / broke the Rules.

That is not the SCGOP any of us need.or want!!!

GOOD NEWS … there were no restrictions on using the SCGOP State Executive Committee list … so stay tune and we will get that out to you next!!!

Two Sides of The Same COIN?

Today’s RINOs were the “Freedom Caucus” of 20 years ago.

Published

on

First of all … let me assure you, I want to be proven wrong. Know that our door is WIDE OPEN to the SC Freedom Caucus (and the RINOs for that matter) for them to come EXPLAIN to us why we are wrong about them.

Please, SC Freedom Caucus … come explain why your BIG GOV’T solutions are really about “freedom”.

Please, SC RINO “Leadership” … come explain to us why your ESA is better “policy” for K-12 children than Senator Tom Davis’ Tax Credit Scholarship bill (i.e. PACE / ACE).

Citizens should know that NEITHER side wants to come to the table and discuss these things with people that know (like us) because THEY CAN’T.  Both sides of the COIN know they are lying to The People … and they can’t sit with elected “equals” (like us) and have the intellectual conversation.  All they can do is spread their lies, rumors and hate … the standard political “tactics” … and hope WE QUIT before YOU ALL figure out we are right.

We, The Citizens of SC, need to stop falling for the same ole tricks.  

Know that the current Republican Leadership in the SC House & SC Senate were, in fact, the “Freedom Caucus” of their day – 20 years ago. 

It becomes clear when the newly “branded” SC Freedom Caucus leads the charge for BIG GOV’T programs like First Steps & ESAs & Refundable Tax Credits … when they flip flop from anti-Convention of States to now supporting it (thanks to Jim DeMints MONEY!!!) … when two years ago they were pushing a CLOSED Convention process as opposed to our wide open Primaries, but today they have flip flopped and now oppose it (because Drew McKissick wants them to oppose it – #FollowTheMONEY!!!) … not to mention their endorsement of RINOs in GOP ReOrg elections, calling MAGA America First a “cancer”, and the lies … the absolutely never ending lies. 

Why do we keep falling for these tricks … because they “call” themselves “Freedom Caucus”???  Is that all it takes for PATRIOTS to support future RINOs struggling for control in Columbia (and losing badly) … for them to “say” a few things we like to hear and promise to be our saviors???  Come on friends, we are better than that!!!

Do we stop calling out Republicans pushing BIG GOV’T solutions simply because they put “Freedom Caucus” next to their name, or because we feel sorry for them because they constantly cry victim of the RINOs in power???  Is it because we “think” these people are working for us, when the reality is the Freedom Caucus & the “establishment” leadership are just two side of the same coin???

Know this … and yes I hope I am wrong … but I have been consistently proven right … BOTH sides, RINO Leadership & the SC Freedom Caucus, are ONLY about the COIN and “who” gets to control it. 

We don’t like RINOs, but we should dislike liars and “future” RINOs wearing a conservative mask even more. 

Remember … just 11 days ago, on March 3rd, 2025, it was the SC Freedom Caucus that called MAGA America First “a cancer”.  What’s unclear with that message???

Since I am recovering from cancer … and the article was about me & our Greenville County Republican Party … I actually took offence and find that a little more than just politics.

Again … please … prove me wrong.

As always … we will meet anytime, with anyone.  On the record, off the record … publicly or privately … and we will sign any legal release for anything said in the meeting.  What more can we offer? 

Watch … the SC Freedom Caucus won’t take us up on the offer … because we are a CANCER to them.  Heck, they said it!!!

[NOTE:  My wife’s response to them calling us a “cancer” is YES … we are a RINO Cancer … and they are the future RINOs.]

Massey’s S244  Text Messages Keep Coming

Call Your SC State Senator TODAY!

Published

on

We always TEACH … where there is a will, there is a way … and that is being proven out right now in the SC Senate.

First … remember when leadership at the SC Statehouse REFUSED to call the legislature back into session following HURRICAINE HELENE?  Literally one of the most devastating hurricanes in history to roll through South Carolina … and “they” are too busy to come back into session and help the citizens of our state.

Step one in all of this is to realize our elected officials don’t care about the citizens … but they do care about BIG MONEY … and they will move heaven & earth to take care of their BIG MONEY donors … and do nothing for YOU!!!

We learned that first hand about Senator Shane Massey in our “real” school choice fight … he picked $$$ over K-12 kids with special needs … and we have no reason to think he has had a change of heart … quite the opposite … and his actions over the past two days seems to have proven just that.


We knew following S244 would be a perfect learning example / case study (HERE) … and that has proven out.  

Last Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey (R – Edgefield) lost his vote 25 to 19 … and said We are DONE.  It’s OVER. (HERE)  On Tuesday, Massey “carried over” his S244 – which he had pulled out all his tricks to get the bill on SPECIAL ORDER.  You don’t do that “if” you have the votes.

By all accounts S244 was DEAD!!!  (HERE)

But the statewide robo TEXT MESSAGES kept coming.  Why???  These are not cheap … and who is paying for them???   The SC Senate Republican Caucus???  The guys that refused to go back into session after Hurricane Helene???  How about the SC Chamber of Commerce???  Aren’t those guys 1,000% in the bag for BIG BUSINESS … and affectionately known as the “Chamber of Compromise” … and not in a good way???

Who has the $$$ to resurrect S244 from the DEAD???


So what do The People want from the SC Senate???  A massive Tort Reform Bill like S244 that has far reaching implications no one understands and the BIG MONEY special interest are trying to push through as fast as possible???

Or do The People want a “targeted” bill like H3497 that fixes the liquor liability issue … the one issue that is impacting our small businesses … who can’t afford a massive advertising and robo Text Campaign like we are seeing from some group named the “SC Coalition for Lawsuit Reform 2025″???  

[NOTE:  And what is up with the “2025” at the end of their name???  Those guys, whomever they are, obviously plan on being back year after year and need to keep up with what was done in what DARK MONEY entity.  #FollowTheMONEY!!!]


It is not a hard choice.  Do The People want S244, a massive omnibus tort reform bill using the “cover” of fixing liquor liability … which Senator Massey is trying to push through FAST … or do The People want a “targeted” H3497 that fixes just the liquor liability issue???

Practice calling your SC Senator … NOW!!!

Massey’s S244 (faux) Tort Reform … DEAD?

H3497 for the WIN!!!

Published

on

We were right again … the battle over (faux) Tort Reform has come to a head and SC Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey (R – Edgefield) has come up short … again.

We asked some pretty tough questions two weeks ago (HERE) about S 244 as it appeared to us to be another “in the bag” monied special interest bill being pushed by Senator Massey.  We saw Massey do this in favor of the BIG GOV’T (fake) school choice legislation for years … and it appeared to us that the Senator was back at the feeding trough to fund his 2026 “Governor” ambitions using BIG MONEY Insurance Companies … and sacrificing The People of South Carolina … once again (HERE).

As the old saying goes … Pigs get FAT, hoggs get SLAUGHTERED!!!

And getting slaughtered with a ONE / TWO PUNCH is exactly what happened to Senator Shane Massey last week … and he “cried” about it right there on the floor of the SC Senate (see video below).


First of all … kudos to the SC House of Representatives.  We all know the Senate is supposed to be the more “deliberative” (i.e., sensible) body … but it took the SC House to come up with a bill (H3497 – HERE) that fixes … wait for it … THE LIQUOR LIABILITY PROBLEM!!!  

Everyone has been watching the fiasco going on with Senator Shane Massey in the SC Senate over S244.  It had not gone unnoticed by leadership in the SC House … and it was a stroke of brilliance … and it did not even take a rocket scientist … the House simply said “hold my beer … we have a bill to fix that!!!”

Introducing H3497 … the LIQUOR LIABILITY BILL!!!

The bill had been prefilled back on December 5th, 2024 by Judiciary Chairman Weston Newton (R – Beaufort) … appears to have had 3 sub-committee hearings in February … and was REPORTED OUT favorably to the SC House floor on Wednesday the 5th of March … and immediately PASSED by a 109 – 0 margin on Thursday the 6th … with the last step of sending it over to the SC Senate on Friday.  

It truly was a stroke of genius … and appears to have put Senator Massey in a real predicament with his monied special interest BIG INSURANCE backers.


And then came the 2nd KNOCKOUT PUNCH!!!

SC State Senator Stephen Goldfinch (R – Georgetown) … Citadel 2004 by the way … put up an amendment on Thursday afternoon that would essentially gut S244 … and do what everyone wants … fix the liquor liability problem for our small businesses.

Goldfinch spoke first on the Amendment … Massey spoke against it … and then, Massey went out on a limb and made a procedural motion to “TABLE” (aka kill) the Amendment.

Well, guess what … MASSEY LOST by a vote 25 to 19!!!  It was brutal … and Massey completely flipped out … went up to the microphone in the well of the Senate … showed himself out … and MOVED TO ADJOURN THE SENATE COMPLETELY.

It was EPIC … one for the ages … and has likely ended Massey’s future hopes for “Governor” as it looked desperate and like someone who had made promises to powerful monied people, and was not able to deliver.

So now Massey has FAILED at (fake) school choice … and FAILED at (fake) tort reform … after reportedly spending $250,000 of the Senate Republican Caucus’ MONEY.

The real question now, how long will Massey be the Senate Majority Leader???

Stay tuned …

GCRP Inaugural Gala Video

Maureen Bannon #WarRoom

Published

on

YouTube 1/16/2025: HERE

Folks have been asking for the video of the Greenville County Republican Party Upstate Inaugural Gala back on January 16th, 2025 … and it is finally here. 

It was a GREAT event and and we could not have been more excited and honored to be allowed to professionally video the event for our friends and family all across South Carolina … for YOU!!!

Watch HERE … or click on the video image above.  Enjoy …  

Start – Yvonne Julian, GCRP Chairman

4:15 – Ray Sheen, GCRP Parliamentarian – Invocation

5:25 – Linda Young, GCRP Communications Team – Introduce Bill

5:45 – Bill Frady, WORD 98.9 Noon-3PM Host & Lock-N-Load Podcast

18:03 – Jeff Davis, GCRP State Executive Committeeman

23:00 – Maureen Bannon, WARROOM CEO

59:12 – Jeff Davis – closing


RAV – WarRoom:  HERE


We don’t follow a lot of podcast or new world media … and certainly not the #FakeNews Media who have been lying to us for DECADES now … because really, WE are personally living it on the front lines on a daily basis.  

But … there is one exception and it is STEVE BANNON’s WARROOM (and now we are adding in BILL FRADY’s radio show).  We started noticing that a lot … and I mean A LOT … of “our people” kept talking about STEVE BANNON.  I knew him generally from the first TRUMP Administration … but like I have always said, WE “live” this mess on the bleeding edge … and we don’t have time to follow all this stuff online.

However, Bannon has a very good “resume” … outstanding to be frank .. and when I started watching, all I could think is “this guy is saying the same thing WE have been saying” … and he has a lot more direct contacts in DC and TRUMP World than we do … so we started watching and now we are addicted.

So friends … if you do not know STEVE BANNON & WARROOM … you need to.  We sorta do WARROOM here in South Carolina … but BANNON does it nationally, and like us, is all about grassroots, precinct strategy, and getting us all involved as a FORCE MULTIPLIER!!!  

ACTION!!!

ACTION!!!

ACTION!!!

I’d highly recommend watching on Roku or FireTV by downloading the RAV (Real Americas Voice) App.  They run a live TV … but you can catch up on WARROOM recordings anytime using the app.

Radical Transparency … DEMAND IT!!!

Especially of your Elected Officials!

Published

on

Friends, the term “Radical Transparency” is being used a lot in Washington DC and with D.O.G.E. right now … and people are loving it.  That is fantastic as we have been preaching it for years.

To us … radical transparency is a LITMUS TEST issue.  If your elected official won’t meet … they are not to be trusted … and should be primaried … PERIOD!!!

Now, I am not saying they have to meet with every crazy and “unstable” guy off the street that wants to get together and hear themselves talk about the same thing … 5 days a week … but if you are an “honest broker” looking to ask questions … especially hard questions … of your elected “leader” and they are not willing / able to meet in a timely manner … the general rule (99% of the time) they are HIDING SOMETHING!!!

Elected Officials … in order to be an “elected official” that The People are willing to accept .. must practice RADICAL TRANSPARENCY … and more importantly we must DEMAND IT!!!

We do not need to keep falling for their tricks … DEMAND RADICAL TRANSPARENCY!!!


And don’t think it is just you … I personally have been in elected leadership of the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) for 4 years now … 2 years as Chairman and 2 years as the State Executive Committeeman.  At this stage, I really know what is going on (although we learn more every day) … I have really HARD questions to ask our elected officials … and I was elected to ask those questions.  

And, there are certain elected officials who won’t meet with me (like the SC Freedom Caucus, Drew McKissick, and a bunch of RINOs) who obviously have something to hide … and fortunately there are quite a few that will meet, answer the tough questions, and often change course when they hear our perspective. 

But for the ones that won’t meet … that is OK.  If I was doing bad things and trying to hide it, I would not want to meet with me either … just like the DOGE “targets” that don’t want to explain themselves to Elon Musk or Donald TRUMP.

[NOTE:  And know too … it is not just me.  I know many an elected official that say other elected officials won’t meet with them either.  It is everywhere … and they know which ones are BAD and doing corrupt things.  And guess what, like with the DOGE “targets”, the bad people here in South Carolina that won’t meet are simply SELF IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES … so to me it is a good thing!!!]

Everyone wants DOGE South Carolina … we do too … but guess what, you already have it.  You are DOGE, we are DOGE … and anyone who won’t meet, needs to be DOGE’d (aka Primaried) next June 9th, 2026.

It all starts with a simple question to your elected official … “will you meet” … and if they do meet,  don’t be DUPED.  lol  Do your homework and be prepared … call us for tips … and we will happily JOIN YOU … and as we always teach, remember to TRUST NOTHING & verify everything … even what we tell you!!! (mySCGOP.news, 12/09/2024:  HERE).

Massey Bucking for Governor … AGAIN?!?!?

Ambition > Common Sense?

Published

on

Last Tuesday we shared with you our initial thoughts on S244 … the “supposed” Tort (over) Reform bill being pushed by SC Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey … yes, the Senator from Edgefield who endorsed Nikki Haley against President TRUMP in the 2024 primaries.

See mySCGOP.news, 2/25/2025: HERE

Well … a lot has happened in a short time since then … and it get’s more interesting … and more educational!!!  Heck, we made a simple “tweet” on X.com sharing the article (HERE) and mentioning Senator Massey endorsing Nikki Haley … and we got a rather quick 36,000 views!!!  That is a fair amount … 


The day after our article and “tweet” … on February 26th … Senator Shane Massey, who is known to have rather thin skin, had a bit of an emotional TIRADE … literally showing up on the SC House Floor … and getting in the face of SC House Rep. Gil Gatch (R – Dorchester) … a fellow lawyer legislator.

Why?  Because Rep. Gatch made the following post accusing Senator Massey of being in the “pocket” of big insurance companies.  See exactly below … and note the reported EXPLETIVES by Massey.

And when the Post & Courier catches you cursing … it’s not good!!!

Nick Reynolds tweet – The Post & Courier:  HERE


Next, on the 27th, a poll was published showing that GOP Voters … who understand the impacts of S 244 on average citizens … overwhelmingly OPPOSE S244 … by 73% to 19% margin.  

It wasn’t a good week … for someone making BIG PROMISES to BIG MONEY DONORS / INSURANCE COMPANIES … and potentially looking to fill his coffers so as to test running for Governor … AGAIN?!?!?! 


You all may remember when Senator Massey was considering challenging Governor Henry McMaster in 2022 for governor … before he had a run in with famed defamation lawyer Lin Wood … and Senator Massey said he would not ask for a forensic audit of the 2020 election … and that he believed BIDEN WON in 2020?  It was an uncomfortable interaction … for MASSEY!

Watch June 24th, 2021 video HERE.

Yes … Senator Massey dropped out of the race for governor shortly thereafter as he had lost ALL “potential” support of anyone in the MAGA America FIRST movement … and certainly was not going to get TRUMP’s endorsement then (but maybe Nikki’s).  And no, WE have not forgotten.

NOT A GOOD THING:  As we were told recently about another “ladder climber” … when ambition is > talent (or common sense – have we mentioned Massey endorsed Nikki Haley against President TRUMP???) … it’s not a good thing.

But it does not appear Senator Massey is ready to call it quits on his ambition for “Governor” … and it appears his eyes are set on 2026 (per rumors we have heard) … but that takes MONEY … and lots of it … and who better than BIG INSURANCE to fill his coffers?!?!? 


We know Senator Massey very well from our fight for “real” School Choice … and we know he sold out the K-12 kids for the monied special interest and companies like CLASS WALLET (see video HERE) … who received a $4.2 MILLION contract (more than the kids) with Massey’s now failed / unconstitutional ESA legislation (HEREHERE & HERE).  

So we know firsthand that Shane Massey does not do anything for our SC Citizens … and especially the kids.  And after all the failures last week … even after MASSEY pulled $250,000 from the SC Senate Republican Caucus to fund an ad campaign for S 244 … something we hear that fellow Senate Republicans are not happy about … Senator MASSEY and the INSURANCE COMPANIES appear to have dialed it up even more … with $$$$ & favors.

(#1) First of all SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick sent out a desperate MASS email from the SCGOP supporting S244.  I am personally on the SCGOP State Executive Committee … for nearly 4 years now … and I don’t recall us voting on anything related to “Tort Reform”.  Who authorized (or paid) DREW MCKISSICK to do that???

(#2) Next, Senate Majority Leader Massey got S244 set for SPECIAL ORDER this week … so S244 skips to the front of the line … in front of all the other bills being debated.  The Senator appears to want to get this over the finish line in the SC Senate before people catch on.  A typical special interest trick!!!

(#3) And finally … apparently Massey has pulled the GOVERNOR “favor”.  Maybe since Massey did not run against Governor McMaster in 2022, a favor is owed … but it appears McMaster is going to step in an see if he can save S244 on Wednesday at 11AM.  We can’t wait to see this!!! 

TRUST NOTHING!!!  Seriously … do we trust anything Massey … Drew McKissick … Governor McMaster … or the SC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE … does???  And “where” is all this MONEY coming from to push this so called massive omnibus “Tort Reform” bill???  


SC Venue Crisis – DUPED, Again???:  HERE

Seriously … the really sad part is we ALL want to help the small business venues … and like in 2024 when they were led astray (I received tons of calls wanting us to help them … and YES, the SC Venue Crisis folks were being duped by all the wrong people back then) … it seems like they are being DUPED … and USED … again.


S 244 as we have already discussed is a massive and overly expansive piece of legislation.  It uses an untested nuclear bomb to kill a fly.  Ask yourself “why”, if legislators actually cared about our small venues, would you not just use a targeted bill to fix that one issue???  Why does it appear that the lawyer legislators … and insurance brokers … want such an expansive bill … and not just fix the one problem???


Hey, it will be interesting … and with the Governor weighting in … it is even more questionable than ever.


WHEN:  Wednesday, March 5th – 11:30am

WHERE:  SC Statehouse, 1100 Gervais Street, Columbia, SC  

WHAT:  Watch the Governor and Senator Massey … along with the SC Chamber of Commerce and other “grifters” … live and in person try to “sell” the Citizens of South Carolina on “Tort Reform”.

Are we buying it???

We will be chatting with our small venue friends … and we will ask them how those “promises” work out last time?  Fool me once, … 

Maybe find a targeted bill … not a massive bill where you are the target.  Learn from the School Choice experience.  10 years worth of lies from these same guys … and all they do is keep lying!!!
