Open Letter Update

It has been 18 days since our Open Letter to Chairman Drew McKissick, and NO response …

Published

on

A statewide political leader asked us the other day, what created this “rift” with SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick. He asked how did we get in this situation?

Our response … “We have never had a conversation with Drew”.  He has never returned an email, a text, or a phone call.

Yes … this leader about fell out of his chair and asked further in disbelief, “So Drew has never even spoken with you?”  Yep, that is the fact … 

And, sadly for South Carolina and our children, it has been 18 days since our Open Letter to Chairman Drew McKissick, and NO response to that request either.

Is that “leadership”?  Is that even “Christian”?

The political establishment complains an awful lot about the “insurgents” … you know, the people that came within 16 votes of defeating Drew in the 2023 SCGOP Chairman’s race (HERE & HERE).  The political establishment complains endlessly about being the “victims” … while the reality is they are the aggressors and have pulled nearly every dirty trick in the book to retain control for their minority.

So given their constant “victim” status … why would Drew not want to even discuss what 48.2% of the SCGOP State Delegates from across South Carolina … and probably 75% of all SC Republicans … want to discuss?  

Do they teach these people in political training classes that leadership is the avoidance of others?  Do the political consultants advise these people to just ignore the vast majority of South Carolinians?  Is this “leadership”?  Is this how we would teach our children to act?

ReOrg 2025 is unavoidable.  Why delay the inevitable discussion?

All good questions …

We are losing our country and our “leaders” are sticking their head in the sand, avoiding the discussion.


Did the 51.8% of the 2023 SCGOP State Delegates who voted for Drew, vote for him to avoid the other 48.2%?  Is this constant infighting what those Drew supporting Republicans want?  Or do they want UNITY OF MISSION around the SC Republican Platform?

If you voted for Drew … let us know if this sort of division is what you wanted … or, be a leader yourself, and let Drew know you would like him to “lead” and help unify this party around the SC Republican Platform.

Hey … it’s just the future of South Carolina, our children, and our Country that is at stake.  No big deal  … take your time (#NoteSarcasm).

Upcoming Congressional and State Convention

EVERYONE who is a MAGA / America FIRST state delegate or state alternate should attend

Published

on

A few months ago we introduced you all to the every FOUR YEAR SCGOP Congressional & State Conventions held prior to the RNC NATIONAL CONVENTION where we will select the GOP Presidential Candidate (HERE).

With South Carolina leading the way … we know that the GOP nominee will be President TRUMP … but very few people seem to know about these upcoming Congressional Conventions or the State Convention.

South Carolina has 50 National Delegates & 50 National Alternates to send to the RNC National Convention this year in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from Monday, July 15th, 2024 – Thursday, July 18th, 2024.

Well … now we know the dates and times for selecting those 50 NATIONAL DELEGATES & 50 NATIONAL ALTERNATES … and EVERYONE who is a MAGA / America FIRST state delegate or state alternate should attend!!! Your attendance is “mandatory” if for no other reason than to “learn” about the process … but to also support your America FIRST candidates for the available positions. #VoteAmericaFIRST!!!

Do you really want Nikki Haley supporters going to the RNC National Convention? Hmmm … think about it.


If you were a STATE DELEGATE or a STATE ALTERNATE … here is the Eventbrite link to register for your respective CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

All SCGOP Congressional Conventions: HERE

1st District – Saturday, April 13th at 10AM: HERE

2nd District – Tuesday, April 23rd at 7PM: HERE

3rd District – Saturday, April 13th at 10AM: HERE

4th District – Saturday, April 20th at 9AM: HERE

5th – District – Saturday, April 13th at 10AM: HERE

6th District – Saturday, April 20th at NOON: HERE

7th District – Saturday, April 6th at 10AM: HERE

(*Verify all dates and times on SCGOP Eventbrite)

Yes you should go!!! Reunite with fellow America FIRST friends, learn the process, and support your respective America FIRST candidates.

Elections will consist of a Congressional District Chair, Vice Chair & Secretary … as well as 3 National Delegates + 3 National Alternates.

Be warned however, if you want to be a NATIONAL DELEGATE or ALTERNATE, you will have to cover your own travel and lodging cost which are estimated to be around $3,500 … so don’t run for a spot if you can’t go for the full week or would rather spend your dollars at the beach this summer.


We don’t know the location or time yet … but we do know the STATE CONVENTION will be on Saturday, May 4th, 2024 … presumably somewhere central in the midlands / Columbia / Lexington area.  It will be BIG and like the state convention last May 2023 with 943 STATE DELEGATES & 943 STATE ALTERNATES eligible to attend.

At the convention we will elect the remaining 29 NATIONAL DELEGATES & 29 NATIONAL ALTERNATES.

The 2nd reason to show up for the STATE CONVENTION … we have heard that Drew McKissick and the RINO Establishment want to push through more “Rule Changes”.  They did this to slow down the America FIRST movement with their “Special Called Convention” on July 30th, 2022 … let’s see what tricks they may have in store for us this May 4th, 2024.

The RINOs don’t have the numbers now like they did in 2022 … but we have to SHOW UP!!!

Truth Social … now Publicly Traded!

TRUMP’s personal net worth skyrocketed by $4 BILLION

Published

on

Yahoo Finance “DJT”:  HERE

Monday March 25th, 2024, will go down in history as a really, really, really GOOD DAY for President TRUMP!!!

First, a New York Appeals Court lowered the insane $454 million court bond payment to appeal the New York AG’s case to an equally insane, but manageable, $175 million bond.  That reduction as well as an extension of 10 days appears to be enough grace for President TRUMP to fulfill the obligation and preserve his properties in the State of New York.

DC_Draino (HERE) had the best meme of the day … 

DC_Draino Video:  HERE


Truth Social goes PUBLIC!!!

  • $4 BILLION!!!

But the YUGE news for President TRUMP from March 25th, 2024, is finally … TRUTH Social will be a publicly traded company … and the stock symbol … get ready for it … DJT!!! You can’t make this up either!!!

The government approval / administrative process which should have taken 3 or 4 months … took TRUTH Social nearly 2 years. No, you really can’t make this up either, and yes this is happening in America, in our Republic.

But as with most bad deed … the finalization of the technical merger to allow TRUTH Social to become a publicly traded company could not have come at a better time as he seemingly solidifies his position for the 2024 November election.

Now with public valuation data, TRUMP’s personal net worth skyrocketed by $4 BILLION sending him onto the Bloomberg 500 wealthiest list for the first time ever … and that is before the 43% stock price increase so far today on the first day of trading.

Good things happen to good people … so keep fighting folks!

Candidate Filings

SEI & Campaign Finance Disclosures

Published

on

SC Ethics Commission – SEI: HERE

This week we have learned how to “track” candidates (HERE) and how much it costs to file to run for office (HERE)! Today, let’s review the Candidate Filings.

Statement of Economic Interests (SEI)

The general idea of the Statement of Economic Interests is as stated, to disclose the candidate’s or elected official’s “economic” or financial interest. Read more about it HERE and in the mySCGOP article below … and have fun looking up the SEI of your favorite politicians!


Campaign Finance Disclosures
Campaign Finance Disclosures (initial, quarterly, pre-election & final) are for reporting the donations and expenditures of candidate’s campaign account. Remember – if you intend to spend any money on your campaign, you will need to open a separate campaign bank account – you cannot use your personal one!

As with any filing, there are deadlines on the Campaign Finance Disclosures that is YOUR responsibility to follow. For State and Local 

candidate campaign filings you would go to https://ethics.sc.gov/  to file while for Federal positions (US House & Senate), you would got to https://www.fec.gov/.
For more details click HERE or the mySCGOP article below.

Candidate Filing Fees

How much does it cost to file? And how the fee is calculated? And where is the money going?

Published

on

2024 Filing Fee Schedule: HERE

As we mentioned yesterday HERE, the South Carolina filing period OPENED this past Saturday March 16th at NOON … and CLOSES on Monday April 1st at NOON and as of close of business Tuesday March 19th, 148 candidates statewide filed their paperwork to have their names on the ballot for June 11, 2024 Primary Elections! 

Now, how much does it cost to file? And how the fee is calculated? And where is the money going?

According to S.C. Code Section 7-13-40 (HERE), the filing fee for each office is one percent of the total salary for the term of that office or one hundred dollars, whichever amount is greater.

As you will notice, for those full time elected officials like solicitor, probate judges, clerk of court, sheriff, etc … the filing fees can get prohibitive for candidates. It is really something troublesome in our opinion and should be fixed. 

Now you are probably wondering, where is the money collected on all the fees, going? The money goes to the State Election Commission to compensate them for running the primary elections. It certainly does not cover the cost, if you ask us.  

Fun fact: other parties (non Republican & non Democrat) pick their candidates via conventions, etc that they pay for … so they don’t have those primary fees. But, as you all might guess, unless you are a Republican or a Democrat, there is no real chance to be elected in November.

RCP Presidential Betting Averages

Runaway train for President TRUMP at 45.5% vs. Biden’s 32.6%

Published

on

RCP Presidential Betting Odds: HERE

Yes, we tracked the Real Clear Politics (RCP) betting averages for the GOP Presidential nomination for you all for months … and it proved certainly more reliable than the rollercoaster of the human polls & main stream media’s attempt to manipulate public opinion … but guess what, there is a similar betting average for who will become PRESIDENT as well.

Just as a reminder … we don’t promote betting, we simply believe it is a better indicator of TRUE public sentiment as to the outcome of these political races as compared to HUMAN POLLS and what you may hear out of the mainstream media.  Both can be (and are) easily manipulated … while watching where real people PUT THEIR MONEY appears much more accurate.

As you might expect as of right now it is a runaway train for President TRUMP at 45.5% vs. Biden’s 32.6% chance of being elected President on November 5th, 2024.  Biden was doing much worse just 7 days ago before he spiked 5 points after Michelle Obama’s office publicly announced she WAS NOT running for President (HERE).  Heck, Michelle Obama is still at 5.5% even after saying she is not running … showing some betters still don’t believe her.  They truly get the mental manipulation.

It is going to be an exciting next 238 days until November 5th, 2024!!!  

Always follow the numbers … the REAL NUMBERS!!!

McMaster Opposes & Drew Supports Closed Primaries?

Don’t fall for these tricks!

Published

on

Fox Carolina Article: HERE


We received this article today and our first thought was … YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME … do they think we are still this stupid?!?!?

Closed primaries have been an issue for what … decades?  Well we know it has been a big issue for at least the 10 years we have been around … and we have watched Drew McKissick “talk” about registration by party (not “closed” primaries) since at least 2017 at the first quarterly State Executive Committee meeting in Columbia we attended as guest (yes, Drew used to allow visitors until mySCGOP and the grassroots got involved) … but we have NEVER seen Drew actually DO anything to promote real closed primaries or even registration by party.

Yes, it is why we use the saying … Watch what the DO, not what they SAY.

So now all of a sudden as Drew McKissick is out as RNC Co-Chair and floundering in his political career because he has turned on the grassroots and our SCGOP Platform principles (HERE & HERE) … and faces certain defeat in the #2025ReOrg … so now he wants full closed primaries … and Governor Henry McMaster opposes it???

NO, we are not that stupid anymore!!!


So, what is the set-up here? What is this shell game?

Basically Drew needs help … A LOT OF HELP … and his friend Governor McMaster has nothing to lose … so they are now playing their typical … as this is not an unusual game once you see it … roles to DUPE the grassroots electorate.

Seriously, this is what Governor McMaster said … “Although people have theorized that there may be masses coming over and voting in the Republican primary just to cause mischief, so far in our history, it has not happened,” according to the Fox Carolina article.

Governor McMaster is well liked because he endorsed TRUMP early in 2016 (after initially endorsing Jeb Bush – y’all did not know that did you) … but everyone knows he is not exactly the most conservative elected official in SC … not by a longshot!!! But for him to really say Democrat crossover voting is not a real problem in SC Republican Primaries … nobody is buying that!!!

As we TEACH … when elected officials and others say & do “strange” things … DIG DEEPER and figure out the “game” they are playing. This one fortunately is not hard to figure out at all 😉

PLUS … WHAT WAS DREW’S “ADVISORY” QUESTION ON YOUR SATURDAY BALLOT? Did SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick ask SC Republican voters if they wanted “closed primaries” … or did he ask us about the lesser “registration by party” … where Democrats can still vote in Republican Primaries?

Drew has literally FLIPPED since Saturday on this issue? lol

Drew wanted “Registration by Party” … not CLOSED Primaries.


So what actually happened in South Carolina with cross-over voters?

Well, the Gateway Pundit reports that one group estimates 40% of Nikki Haley voters in the SC Republican Presidential Preference Primary (PPP) on Saturday were Democrats (HERE). Our folks here at mySCGOP are still analyzing the voter participation data … and it will take time … but we estimate it is closer to 25% of Haley votes were Democrats.

But Governor Henry McMaster says their is no evidence of massive crossover?

The data is out there, even historically, which proves crossover voting is a real issue here in South Carolina … especially in down ballot elections. We have even shared with you where an ELECTED far-left Democrat and a far-left Democrat candidate are regular Republican Primary Voters (see HERE). These are not isolated events … and it explains why SC is rated the most liberal red state in the nation by CPAC.

Heck, we even have Republican friends … including elected Republican Party Officials who live in “Democrat” districts … that VOTE in the Democrat Primaries here in South Carolina.

It goes both ways … but the fact remains “closed primaries” is a SC Republican Platform issue and with a “Republican” supermajority in the SC State Legislature … it can easily be fixed … but they won’t / haven’t. Why???


DO NOT FALL FOR THESE TRICKS!!!  Drew McKissick has never given any real indication (by action) that he is willing to push for “closed primaries”.  We all know the stories of how every six years … right before his US Senate elections … Lindsey Graham becomes a conservative.  The other 5 years or so of his 6 year term … he is working with the left.

Governor McMaster has nothing to lose opposing closed primaries … and he has plenty of friends that like the status quo … so Henry himself has everything to gain by doing this “favor” for the establishment and Drew McKissick.  It is nice to be a hero to the grassroots and support closing the SC primaries … but there is much more to gain for Governor McMaster by helping out the establishment, Drew & the special interest that like the status quo.  #FollowTheMONEY!!!

And as we also say … #LearnTheirTRICKS!!!
