– By Jeff Davis

The end date was August 30th, 2021.

If you have questions about America’s military and foreign policy decisions under President Donald J. Trump, I would highly encourage you to watch the newly released 57-minute Wall Street Journal Opinion documentary, The Path to Zero: The Withdrawal From Afghanistan.

Produced by Michael Park’s Palladium Pictures (HERE), the film examines the decisions and events that led to the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. It traces the collapse of the Afghan government, the frantic evacuation effort at Kabul’s airport, and the deadly Abbey Gate bombing that claimed the lives of 13 American service members.

What makes the documentary especially important is how quickly many Americans have forgotten those events under the previous Biden Administration. They question the direction of President Trump on international affairs … while forgetting exactly how embarrassing things were just 5 years ago.

The Path to Zero is available to watch free on The Wall Street Journal Opinion YouTube channel (HERE).

Between the “Write-In Ralph” movement and the television ads for Democrat Annie Andrews during Labor Day weekend football games, we’re seeing a lot of angst about the potential outcome of the November 3rd U.S. Senate election here in South Carolina.

Before folks get too worked up, remember not to get distracted by emotion. Election Day is still nearly two months away. There are very capable people being paid to plan and execute Darline Graham’s campaign, and they are certainly not planning to lose.

And remember to pay attention to the available data. While the Darline Graham campaign has to execute and not be over confident, the betting odds prediction markets show a high confidence in a Darline Graham victory. 85% to 15% in fact.  People willing to put their money behind their expectations – not just share opinions on social media – by far view Graham as the likely winner.

Of course, prediction markets are only one data point, and campaigns are won through voter engagement and turnout, not bets. But at this moment, the available indicators do not suggest panic.

We’ve been doing this for a long time – too long in fact – but one lesson remains constant:

Think logically, not emotionally.

85% Graham v. 15% Andrews

Labor Day can be confusing for conservatives. Sure, we love a holiday barbeque with family and friends … but are we celebrating Labor Unions?

Whatever the history of Labor Day (WikiPedia: HERE), the reality is that today we celebrate Labor Day by honoring the men and women whose hard work strengthens our families, communities, state, and nation.

Work is more than a paycheck. It is a source of purpose, responsibility, and pride. Through honest labor, people provide for their loved ones, serve their neighbors, create opportunities for future generations, and contribute to the common good. These efforts often go unnoticed, but their contributions are invaluable.

As we observe this Labor Day, we thank all those whose dedication and perseverance help make South Carolina and America strong. May we never lose sight of the simple truth that work has dignity, responsibility builds character, and opportunity flourishes when people are free to pursue their God-given talents and abilities.

September is recognized nationwide as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor children battling cancer, support their families, celebrate survivors, and remember those we have lost.

On September 1, Jeff Davis & Olga Lisinska attended South Carolina’s Childhood Cancer Awareness Month observance at the State House in Columbia. The event brought together advocates, families, survivors, and state leaders to raise awareness and offer encouragement to those affected by pediatric cancer.

The keynote speaker was Representative Mark Smith (R–District 99, Berkeley County – HERE), a longtime supporter of childhood cancer awareness efforts in South Carolina. Rep. Smith shared a proclamation from Gov. Henry McMaster that said cancer is the leading cause of death by disease for children. Event organizer and advocate Kristine Schaffer was recognized for her work and delivered the “Prayer of Joy,” a message of hope for children and families facing cancer.

Jeff Davis, Chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party and co-founder of mySCGOP.com, expressed his support for the cause:

“We care about kids, and we care about cancer. Childhood Cancer Awareness Month reminds us that every child fighting this disease deserves our prayers, our support, and our commitment to finding better treatments and ultimately a cure. This is something we strongly support.”

The gold ribbon serves as the symbol of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout September, South Carolinians are encouraged to learn more about childhood cancer, support affected families, and keep children undergoing treatment in their thoughts and prayers.

At mySCGOP.news, we proudly join in recognizing Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and standing with the brave children and families facing this challenge every day.
