September 17th, 2023

Members of the GCRP Executive Committee & Friends,

This is a special edition of From the Chairman’s Desk offering my perspective on our GCRP Special Called Meeting this past Thursday. I feel compelled to weigh in as former GCRP Chairman Nate Leupp has opined via this 4th District Club newsletter.

Our Thursday September 14, 2023 special called meeting may be forever known as the “Sauna Meeting” for many of us because we sat for 3 hours in a room where the temperature got to 79 degrees because of an AC failure. As you may recall, we had proposed that this meeting be done by Zoom, which in retrospect would have clearly been more comfortable for all attendees. However, after some of the theatrics (I was a little concerned that a few of the speakers might get attacks of the vapors!) and expected theatrics (why on earth was some guy who is a blogger from Charleston be invited to a GCRP meeting), I understand why the offer of a Zoom call was not accepted.

To start, I would like to thank everyone who has complimented me on how the meeting was chaired, and to give special thanks to those that made my job easier – our credentialing and teller team under the leadership of Joe McLaughlin, Tony DiLorenzo who loaned me a very effectively annoying whistle that is a special gift from his father, Nate who got me a better microphone, and last but certainly not least parliamentarian Greg Peck who kept us on track during the long evening.

I also must thank the core group of party volunteers who today are not focused on gaining or regaining some perceived power but instead on the work of the party and supporting it financially. I just got an email from Chairman McKissick’s political consulting company and the subject is Candidate Recruitment – our GCRP recruitment committee has been incredibly busy lately and done an amazing job as they had to start from scratch since this was not a priority for administrations prior to 2021. Scott Crosby, former GCRP EC and Mauldin City Councilman, who is active in protecting 2A rights and spoke at Coffee and Politics on Friday congratulated us on our focus on boards and commissions and said he has been preaching this for years! The night we received the special call meeting email (which we now know had been planned for weeks now), many of us were at HQ watching LifeMark, a real tearjerker about choosing adoption over abortion. This is one of 4 movies in a series the Pro Life committee has arranged – another of the committees working tirelessly to make a difference on a critical and, in this case, fundamental issue – LIFE.

It is easy for those of us new to politics and who really don’t want a career in it but are fighting for better governance and to save our Country, to forget the bigger battle within the GOP that filters down to local county parties like Greenville. There are huge fault lines within our party – think Americans for Prosperity / Romney / Cheney establishment vs MAGA grassroots, and smaller ones – think SC Freedom Caucus vs SC Republican Caucus that are all influencing our dynamics in the GCRP. After being elected your Chairman, I spoke with Vickie Tonkins, pictured here,

https://gopelpaso.com/38219-2/

about her experiences being chair of the Republican Party in the largest county in Colorado (another state the GOP is losing to Democrats). Her experiences as do those of other grassroots conservative led parties across the USA, and within our state, reflect the consistent narrative of “incompetence”, hints of corruption, “Democrat plants” as well as the personal attacks that the political establishment is using as tools to retain power. You might question whether Greenville, SC is really noticed by the nationwide political establishment. But remember our State Chairman is second in command at the RNC, and grassroots conservatives here in Greenville have the unique advantage of the educational non-profit mySCGOP that is a real thorn in the side to the kinds of Republicans that would rather work with Democrats than Constitutional Republican Platform Conservative elected officials and grassroots activists. mySCGOP filled an education gap for citizens who want to get involved in governing themselves, but populism is a threat to self-serving career politicians.

At the local level the primary control tool the political establishment uses is the threat of the GCRP being dissolved. Many of us that have learned firsthand how party rules can be bent to serve the establishment have realized that is a possibility from the beginning. Our passionate, patriotic Christian Constitutional Conservatives are not going to stop fighting for their children, grandchildren and our country because we are tossed out of a political organization. In fact, I have had to talk some Conservative Christians into remaining with the GOP. Many are increasingly disillusioned by the lesser of two evils choices they have when voting. They are also very angry with leadership that does not adhere to the Republican Platform and that has allowed our party to lose so much market and mind share to an amoral, secularist and foreign interest dominated Democrat Party.

Self-serving members of the political establishment have other tools at their disposal in fighting to regain power from grassroots conservatives in Greenville.

There is an industry around conservatism and in our area an alphabet soup of organizations fighting each other for money, influence and the time, eyes and ears of conservative voters. These fights create hostilities and distract from the bigger mission of fixing government in the “blue” city of Greenville, Greenville County where six Republicans joined with the only two Democrats to unnecessarily raise our taxes, South Carolina and our Country.

GOP Sweep, which started with a splinter group that broke apart from the original Greenville conservatives movement that was able to win only one of three leadership slots at our county convention is clearly disgruntled and not accepting of the election results. A social media post from one of their members said “I stole my election”. There are also deep-rooted hostilities between individuals in the two GCRP factions. People who hunger for power and influence are always looking for ways to get it. That effort can create some, as the saying goes, strange bedfellows. Many of the people who were once part of the Greenville grassroots conservatives movement are now allied with and useful tools for what we think of as the establishment.

Because Nate Leupp was not as involved with the original grassroots group (mainly for reasons listed HERE) he was not able in his missive to talk about relevant permanent hostilities that have come out of the events of: (1) a former board member being asked to resign; (2) an internal fight over school board candidate and state superintendent candidates; (3) an effort by some former leadership to rein in the powers of the Chairman to do FOIA requests; (4) an individual involved with Election Integrity demanding to see the voting record of a member who was up for a leadership position when we know that data hygiene of South Carolina voter files is not a priority for the RNC and we routinely see errors in voting records.

The enmity that is being presented as a question of our budget competence is particularly disingenuous. As you will see from the 2022/2023 budget documents that will be posted on our website and that were approved by the EC body both in March 2022 and January 2023, we presented both expenses and revenue with itemized amounts in pie chart form as an easy way for people to quickly comprehend where our money would come from and how it would be spent. If there was a major concern that the information was not presented in “standard budget format”, could the person in the treasurer’s role have taken the time to present the information correctly in support of the body that approved it? As part of the transparency around budget that NEW members of the EC body may not have had, anyone is invited to arrange a meeting with me, Jeff Davis or Mike Voaden to view a copy of our month to month lease for the space where our headquarters is currently houses. The lease document, which was passed by our EC Body unanimously (except for one nay), was already emailed out by the GCRP to nearly 3,000 people back on March 7th, 2022 and presented on the big screen for review prior to passage. Unfortunately some of our ECs are unable to keep their own records and thought it appropriate to call a special meeting to request another copy.

There are also challenges with a few new members of the EC body who are aligned with the splinter group faction and have been a distraction from our goals of party growth, increased voter turnout and candidate support. One individual’s attorney sent a “No Trespass” letter to our State EC Jeff Davis back in June – wonder how that works when the individual shows up at GCRP business meetings? This individual also seems to think that providing a list of people who attended a precinct meeting meets the SCGOP requirement of providing a list of people who were invited to the meeting. I personally struggle communicating with individuals who seem challenged to understand the difference between archived and active business records, as well as SCGOP rules and regulations around these records and party resources to manage them, and the inappropriateness of giving “deadlines” for completing low value administrative tasks to volunteers. I am sure prior Chairmen would get a big laugh out of us asking for a special called meeting to demand copies of minutes from a 2019 or 1996 business meeting, but then again many are asking that we do so as none of the over 30 years of GCRP records were handed over in the 2021 ReOrg transition to new leadership.

I hope this letter provides each of you a reminder of the bigger picture, to think about some of the things you heard Thursday night with new information, to realize that maintaining the hostilities impeding our work is a conscious choice and that we all could be actively working towards the political improvements so desperately needed in Greenville city and county (it is imperative we protect our library board chair Alan Hill who is the target of a petition by the left and that we work to elect Randall Fowler and Knox White), South Carolina and our Country.

Keep an eye out for my regular newsletter edition coming out mid-week. The topic is Lies and Fear and how avoid being manipulated by them.

“Local” Derangement Syndrome

What do you do when someone you KNOW PERSONALLY exhibits the traits of derangement syndrome?

Published

on

TRUMP Derangement Syndrome (TDS) (HERE) … we have all heard of it … pulled our hair out over it … and for those of us that like to get into the details and use critical thinking skills, we feel like it is utter insanity!!!!

Yes, we now know not to (generally) trust the mainstream media … and we know to ignore the “crazies” like the screaming lady pictured above who is now the posterchild for TDS … but what do you do when someone you KNOW PERSONALLY exhibits the exact same traits of derangement syndrome?

What do you do when a fellow County Executive Committeeman (EC) starts saying things that are objectively and provably FALSE?

What do you do when someone you have to work with personally won’t listen to ANY REASON whatsoever? Won’t meet and “talk”? Won’t open their email or look at a single document?

And worst of all … what do you do when “others” believe that person and act / vote based on what that person says?

It is a real quandary and frankly we believe this local “derangement syndrome” is ripping our communities and our Country apart … and is certainly rampant here in South Carolina and within the SCGOP and local County GOPs.


LOCAL DERANGEMENT SYNDROME:

The “Sauna Meeting” (HERE, HERE & HERE) is going to go down in SCGOP history as the perfect learning example of what is going on with this derangement syndrome that has seeped down into local politics.

The example is extreme in that you have an otherwise reasonable appearing person (Jeff Magg) claiming the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) does not have a required “budget” … but that same person is the one who created the budget (as the elected Treasurer at the time), called it a budget, presented the budget for passage to the GCRP EC Body (on video 2/7/2022), and voted for the budget at least twice.

Say what?!?!?

And worse … this same person (Jeff Magg), a local Greenville Precinct EC and the former GCRP Treasurer … led a group of other individuals to call an “emergency” Special Meeting with less than 48 hours notice over the issue (that the Budget he prepared & presented in 2022, now never existed) … and other people actually believed him.

And he wasn’t alone … a local attorney and former GCRP Chairman from the 1990s (Stephen Brown, Esq.) supported Jeff Magg, egged him on, and helped orchestrate the entire “Sauna Meeting” debacle. It is bizarre … so folks need to ask themselves, “what is really going on?”

[NOTE: Some people have issues … like the TDS posterchild lady above … while others, for their own personal and political motives, are purposefully stoking derangement syndrome in uninformed individuals – and those people need to be EXPOSED!!! This selfish mental manipulation (HERE, HERE & HERE) is what we want everyone to learn to identify … and we must if we want to Save South Carolina & Save America.]


JUST THE FACTS:

February 3rd, 2023: The GCRP Executive Board, including Jeff Magg & Stephen Brown, met at the GCRP HQ and both voted in favor (7-1) to approve the 2022 Budget & $1,250 Lease Terms.

Feb. 6, 2022: Jeff Magg submits Budget to Chairman Davis.
Feb. 7, 2022: Jeff Magg (as Treasurer) presents Budget to the full GCRP EC Body.
March 1, 2022: Jeff Magg quits as GCRP Treasurer after asked to prepare appropriate financial statements.
March 7, 2022: GCRP EC Body UNANIMOUSLY (less 1) passes 2022 Budget and Lease.
Jan. 31, 2023: GCRP EC Body renews exact same Budget for 2023.

September 14th, 2023: Jeff Magg leads a less than 48 hour notice emergency “Special Meeting” and state to the GCRP EC Body that:

  • He has never seen a Budget (even though Jeff Magg prepared the Budget and presented it to the GCRP EC Body when he was Treasurer).
  • GCRP does not have a Budget (even though Jeff Magg voted to approve the Budget and lease terms at least twice).
  • GCRP did not have access to HQ until mid-March 2022 so we should not have paid rent starting 1/1/2022, even though the GCRP had full 24/7 access starting 12/15/2021 and had numerous events at the building (and Jeff Magg personally attended such events / meetings).

See the discussion. Jeff Davis explains the timeline of events (42:37)… and Jeff Magg come to the mic and says it is all untrue (44:55).

Who do you believe? NEITHER … check yourself!!!

FEEDBACK:  You always have to check … “are we the crazy ones?”  WE don’t think their side ever asks themselves that question, but we do, and we think that is what will keep us on the path of TRUTH.

But give us your feedback?  What do you see happening locally with these deranged actions by some?  We have heard all sorts of reasons from psychopathy liars, to the effects of the COVID vaccine (or shedding for those who are not vaccinated) … up to demon possessed.  We don’t know, but send us your thoughts at team@mySCGOP.com.

If we do not fix this … and get people “talking” to one another … will it ever end?

#NeverGiveUP!!!

Greenville County Republican Party Chair Sends September 20th, 2023 “Chairman’s Letter”

What are YOUR solutions to experts or authority figures who lie?

Published

Greenville County Republican Party Chair sends another piece full of wisdom, interesting analogies and perspectives. Read, Learn & Enjoy …

September 20th, 2023

Dear Greenville County Republican Party Executive Committeemen, Body & Associates,

If someone told you that the two lines below were not the same length, would they be a liar? 

If that same person told you they had a PhD from MIT in line measurement, would you bother to measure the lines for yourself? If someone you dislike intensely tells you the lines are the same length, what is your response?

If you haven’t bothered to measure the lines for yourself, which of the two people mentioned above are you more likely to believe?

If you are in a group with all your best friends and people you go to for advice and they all tell you the lines are different lengths, what is your response.

If you do measure the lines and find something different from what you have been taught to believe, what is your response?

Likely most if not all of you have seen this optical illusion before and know that the lines are actually of equal length. But isn’t it fascinating that even after you know this, you still see them as different.

This is an analogy to the power of lies. You can’t “unhear” or “unsee” them once they have been put into your mind. So even after you know the truth, a lie you heard still has some power. People who purposefully and routinely use the various forms of lying know this.

The questions I asked are simplistic, but they raise the important issues of the kinds of lies people tell, why they work on us and what we can do about it.

I thought you might get a kick out of a Newsmax summary of Biden lies below.

These lies of commission are so blatant and easily disproven one has to ask why tell them? But Biden is relying on his expert/authority power. Some of you may recall from a previous newsletter the statistic that up to 25% of the time, a co-pilot in a simulator flight will not challenge the pilot on a decision and the plane crashes. Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals encourages people to pretend they have expert power by teaching “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have”.

How many of us will question our doctor, a lawyer, or academics. How many of us will look up a candidate’s actual donation record in the FEC and find out about PAC donations. Not nearly enough-which is why lies can work. We are doing better as a delightful Riley Gaines video shows. She is speaking about the differences between male and female skeletons, some guy who calls himself the “expert in the room” disagrees and the room break into laughter. What are YOUR solutions to experts or authority figures who lie? Be courageous and willing to respectfully challenge anyone trying to influence or control you, get second opinions, don’t be rushed into decision making and do your own research.

Lies of omission are those that mislead you by intentionally leaving out relevant information or making suggestions. The person that tells you the lines above are different lengths because they look that way but doesn’t tell you he or she hasn’t measured them is leaving out relevant facts. We can expect these kinds of lies from people who need to convince themselves that their moral compass is intact or have convinced themselves their cause is so good, that the ends justify the means.

“They engage in something we call justified dishonesty,” said Shaul Shalvi, who runs the Behavioral Ethics Lab at the University of Amsterdam. It happens when people’s desire to be ethical clash with the desire to profit or get something. In that case people are willing to lie just a bit “as long as it seems legit,” Shalvi said (New York Post, April 2016). We protect ourselves against this kind of behavior by listening carefully and “peeling the onion”. Keep asking who, what, where when why questions until the truth is revealed. “Is Yvonne Julian one of those Krystle Matthews sleepers” as a Facebook post said recently, is this kind of lie.

Likeability, the human tendency of reciprocity and “we think” can make us believe liars, and sometimes with tragic consequences. The serial killer Ted Bundy was well known for his ability to convince women he needed help because of his looks and immediate likeability. It is unwise to assume that someone we dislike intensely can never tell the truth or have some knowledge we can put to good use.

A woman survived the Jonestown Massacre because she purposefully never took any of the special favors Jim Jones offered her, so didn’t feel obligated to reciprocate and comply when he asked her to drink the poisoned beverage that killed 900 people. “Beware of Greeks bearing gifts”, “there is no such thing as a free lunch” and other bits of wisdom remind us that gifts can be used to make us accept lies out of obligation to the gift giver.

Even a group of people we like would be wrong if they told us the lines in our optical illusion are different lengths, but we would be less likely to dispute them. According to one research study, “people were willing to follow the norms of a group, even when they knew the norms to be unconnected to reality, provided they felt a strong shared identity within the group”. (Pryor, Perfors, & Howe, 2019).

Yes, it is just as easy to be a GOP Sweep bobblehead as a Jeff Davis bobblehead.

I hope you find this brief overview of how and why lies work and how we can fight their influence helpful. Lies are common currency in the political arena, so learning how to combat them is very important-especially for grassroots activists like many of us who do not want to develop lying skills as a tool to gain power, influence or money.

I know our HQ Republicats agree! I hope you do, too!

Double Standards & Lost Perspective

Party Politics Insanity

Published

on

We focus locally … at the PRECINCT level … so we don’t distract ourselves with international stuff … but the above picture of Volodymyr Zelenskyy crossed our screen and we could not pass up the opportunity to note the similarities to local grassroots politics.

How much money have we given this guy? $113 BILLION as of 6/2/2023 per Senator John Kennedy (R – LA) (HERE) … since the war started just more than a year ago.

Seriously?1?1? $113 billion to that “dude” … who looks and dresses just like Cuba’s Fidel Castro from the 1960s … while speaking at the United Nations … literally yesterday?!?!?!

I’m not opining on the pros and cons of aid to Ukraine (although Poland just announced they are stopping military arms shipments to Ukraine this week over a trade dispute – HERE) … that is a much bigger issue for others to debate … but on the surface, the loss of perspective … I’d call it “insanity” … is similar to what we see locally as well.

It is why many “old guard” establishment and RINO types have walked away from Republican GOP activities for other endeavors … SAYING ALL OF THIS IS EMBARRASSING & DISTASTEFUL … and others have stepped up and embraced the ugly and nuttiness.

Note, it is not the America FIRST folks causing this stepping aside, it is the envious ones who can’t handle losing ReOrg elections.


Local Insanity Reflects National?

Over the past two days we introduced you to the 3 page SLED report of a “blogger” from the lowcountry (HERE) … and a Greenville “activist” with 10 CURRENT charges for CRIMINAL SEXUAL CONDUCT (with a minor) (HERE).

Both were active opposition participants at last Thursdays Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) special meeting. The response I got from one? A defensive Facebook post blaming his doctor for his drug addiction & criminal record (we know the psychology there) … and a slanderous (and FALSE) statement that I “forged signatures and stole $950k from a single family.

Oh well, that will be fun in court … AGAIN!!! Most interesting might be to see “who” (i.e., the SCGOP) covers his legal cost. Stay tuned …

[ NOTE ON FORGIVENESS: Everybody has “something” in their past. That is (generally) expected and understandable if we repent and learn from it … make amends to the victims as well as family, friends & the community … but what we are seeing locally and nationally is not normal … and it is why some folks have stepped away from the “establishment” & RINO side as it is embarrassing to associate with unrepentant people.]


Party Politics Insanity:

All of this nuttiness is worse and exacerbated in the #FakeMEDIA and politics.

DEMOCRAT INSANITY: We see the Biden Family flaunting apparently obvious crimes in our face … and Democrats act like it is just fine. We have all seen the pictures of Hunter Biden in an obvious “drugged up” state. It’s not normal and not acceptable in society.

REPUBLICAN INSANITY: But we also have Republican’s doing the same thing. Nationally we have the TRUMP Derangement Syndrome out of the likes of Mitt Romney, Dick Chaney, and so many others who can’t stop fixating on the man no matter what he does.

And locally we have the JEFF DAVIS Derangement Syndrome … when I have never been accused of a crime (to my knowledge), never interviewed by a police officer over an alleged crime … and certainly not arrested, jailed, prosecuted, or convicted of a crime … nor do I have any family member or close associate that I am aware of involved in any crimes or shady dealings.

All I do is push “real” school choice (Pass S 285, the PACE Scholarship Bill) … the Republican Platform … and teach people what is really going on in our political system that has SC rated the Most Liberal Red State in the Nation by our friends at CPAC (HERE).

LOCAL PARTY INSANITY: But locally in South Carolina we have it as well … and the two parties accept as OK and normal certain behavior and associations that would not be tolerated otherwise. I wouldn’t say much about it, but for the derangement some legislators and party gadflies make about it all.

I was done with it all when any elected official, party official, Christian, pastor … really ANYBODY … accepted the activities of my predecessor, former GCRP Chairman Nate Leupp (current SCGOP 4th District Chair). The 2021 ReOrg FRAUD is documented in a 13 page report (HERE) prepared by people that hate me … so you know it is bad. One opposition appointed committee member has a SLED Report a mile long and drunkenly assaulted me at a Congressman William Timmons’ event – documented in a filed a police report and a restraining order request against him.

The activities involving the ReOrg FRAUD physically occurred at MAJESTY MUSIC offices … the place of employment of Mr. Leupp, and run by the SC Freedom Caucus Chairman. There all all sorts of questions about Mr. Leupp, but when you combine it with his 1st Cousin being on the INTERPOL Most Wanted list for Possession & Distribution of Child Pornography … and then you connect Majesty Music to an international DRUG SMUGGLER. When everyone seems to know these things here in Greenville and are all “hush hush” about it … this truly is national insanity on a local level.

But watch … today certain people will call me the “bad guy” for speaking publicly about this … while these same folks cry about a 2008 … 15 years ago … bank investment of mine that went south.

Well, PASS “REAL” SCHOOL CHOICE and show you care about K-12 children with special needs … as opposed to your careers. That is what I’m sacrificing for … you?

Times Are Changing:

But, don’t worry … we see things changing in the “good ole boy” State of South Carolina.

Just in the last week the Ron Rallis (see below) settled his divorce case involving Congressman William Timmons (R – SC, 4th District). Rallis appears to have gotten everything he wanted (custody of his daughter) in what avoided testimony by Congressman Timmons in the divorce case.

We also saw an Alex Murdaugh associated attorney Cory Fleming sentenced to almost 14 years (originally reported at 20 years) for his participation from a financial / documentation perspective. Federal Judge Richard Gergel only gave Cory 3 years … but the state court Judge Clifton Newman threw the book at him. That would not have happened 5 years ago.

Both Cory & Alex were 1994 classmates of mine at USC Law School … and as I tell people all the time, what was going on in Hampton County was not a secret to anyone … and not unique in our state. Put it this way … the same things (with a little twist) go on right here in Greenville County and I am sure nearly everywhere else in our State.

It has to STOP!!!

We are getting closer … but all this insanity has to be EXPOSED … and it has to STOP.

I give people chances all the time to come clean (even privately so as to avoid embarrassment) and start doing the right things. Most people decline … usually out of arrogance. But that all is changing. The insanity has reached a level where it is obvious to nearly EVERYONE. Ten charges of Criminal Sexual Conduct with a minor … and you are willing to show your face and feign outrage at a GCRP Special Meeting?!?!? Even if you were completely innocent, with those current charges outstanding normal people would be worried about something other than a Trespass Notice given to another political individual with a criminal drug background.

The above is not to dox people … and it frankly is just the TIP OF THE ICEBERG … so expect more as a necessary step in coming clean … but it is to serve as a continuing reminder that nothing is what is seems in politics … and to …

… TRUST NO ONE!!!

I really can’t wait for Good News Friday with Lawrence tomorrow, and a shower today.

Greenville County Republican Party Chair Sends “Special Edition Chairman’s Letter”

There are challenges with a few new members of the EC body who are aligned with the splinter group faction and have been a distraction from our goals of party growth …

Greenville County Republican Party “splinter group faction” called for a special meeting last week … and below is the Special Chairman’s Letter sent out with her perspective of said gathering. Read, Learn & Enjoy …

September 17th, 2023

Members of the GCRP Executive Committee & Friends,

This is a special edition of From the Chairman’s Desk offering my perspective on our GCRP Special Called Meeting this past Thursday. I feel compelled to weigh in as former GCRP Chairman Nate Leupp has opined via this 4th District Club newsletter.

Our Thursday September 14, 2023 special called meeting may be forever known as the “Sauna Meeting” for many of us because we sat for 3 hours in a room where the temperature got to 79 degrees because of an AC failure. As you may recall, we had proposed that this meeting be done by Zoom, which in retrospect would have clearly been more comfortable for all attendees. However, after some of the theatrics (I was a little concerned that a few of the speakers might get attacks of the vapors!) and expected theatrics (why on earth was some guy who is a blogger from Charleston be invited to a GCRP meeting), I understand why the offer of a Zoom call was not accepted.

To start, I would like to thank everyone who has complimented me on how the meeting was chaired, and to give special thanks to those that made my job easier – our credentialing and teller team under the leadership of Joe McLaughlin, Tony DiLorenzo who loaned me a very effectively annoying whistle that is a special gift from his father, Nate who got me a better microphone, and last but certainly not least parliamentarian Greg Peck who kept us on track during the long evening.

I also must thank the core group of party volunteers who today are not focused on gaining or regaining some perceived power but instead on the work of the party and supporting it financially. I just got an email from Chairman McKissick’s political consulting company and the subject is Candidate Recruitment – our GCRP recruitment committee has been incredibly busy lately and done an amazing job as they had to start from scratch since this was not a priority for administrations prior to 2021. Scott Crosby, former GCRP EC and Mauldin City Councilman, who is active in protecting 2A rights and spoke at Coffee and Politics on Friday congratulated us on our focus on boards and commissions and said he has been preaching this for years! The night we received the special call meeting email (which we now know had been planned for weeks now), many of us were at HQ watching LifeMark, a real tearjerker about choosing adoption over abortion. This is one of 4 movies in a series the Pro Life committee has arranged – another of the committees working tirelessly to make a difference on a critical and, in this case, fundamental issue – LIFE.

It is easy for those of us new to politics and who really don’t want a career in it but are fighting for better governance and to save our Country, to forget the bigger battle within the GOP that filters down to local county parties like Greenville. There are huge fault lines within our party – think Americans for Prosperity / Romney / Cheney establishment vs MAGA grassroots, and smaller ones – think SC Freedom Caucus vs SC Republican Caucus that are all influencing our dynamics in the GCRP. After being elected your Chairman, I spoke with Vickie Tonkins, pictured here,

https://gopelpaso.com/38219-2/

about her experiences being chair of the Republican Party in the largest county in Colorado (another state the GOP is losing to Democrats). Her experiences as do those of other grassroots conservative led parties across the USA, and within our state, reflect the consistent narrative of “incompetence”, hints of corruption, “Democrat plants” as well as the personal attacks that the political establishment is using as tools to retain power. You might question whether Greenville, SC is really noticed by the nationwide political establishment. But remember our State Chairman is second in command at the RNC, and grassroots conservatives here in Greenville have the unique advantage of the educational non-profit mySCGOP that is a real thorn in the side to the kinds of Republicans that would rather work with Democrats than Constitutional Republican Platform Conservative elected officials and grassroots activists. mySCGOP filled an education gap for citizens who want to get involved in governing themselves, but populism is a threat to self-serving career politicians.

At the local level the primary control tool the political establishment uses is the threat of the GCRP being dissolved. Many of us that have learned firsthand how party rules can be bent to serve the establishment have realized that is a possibility from the beginning. Our passionate, patriotic Christian Constitutional Conservatives are not going to stop fighting for their children, grandchildren and our country because we are tossed out of a political organization. In fact, I have had to talk some Conservative Christians into remaining with the GOP. Many are increasingly disillusioned by the lesser of two evils choices they have when voting. They are also very angry with leadership that does not adhere to the Republican Platform and that has allowed our party to lose so much market and mind share to an amoral, secularist and foreign interest dominated Democrat Party.

Self-serving members of the political establishment have other tools at their disposal in fighting to regain power from grassroots conservatives in Greenville.

There is an industry around conservatism and in our area an alphabet soup of organizations fighting each other for money, influence and the time, eyes and ears of conservative voters. These fights create hostilities and distract from the bigger mission of fixing government in the “blue” city of Greenville, Greenville County where six Republicans joined with the only two Democrats to unnecessarily raise our taxes, South Carolina and our Country.

GOP Sweep, which started with a splinter group that broke apart from the original Greenville conservatives movement that was able to win only one of three leadership slots at our county convention is clearly disgruntled and not accepting of the election results. A social media post from one of their members said “I stole my election”. There are also deep-rooted hostilities between individuals in the two GCRP factions. People who hunger for power and influence are always looking for ways to get it. That effort can create some, as the saying goes, strange bedfellows. Many of the people who were once part of the Greenville grassroots conservatives movement are now allied with and useful tools for what we think of as the establishment.

Because Nate Leupp was not as involved with the original grassroots group (mainly for reasons listed HERE) he was not able in his missive to talk about relevant permanent hostilities that have come out of the events of: (1) a former board member being asked to resign; (2) an internal fight over school board candidate and state superintendent candidates; (3) an effort by some former leadership to rein in the powers of the Chairman to do FOIA requests; (4) an individual involved with Election Integrity demanding to see the voting record of a member who was up for a leadership position when we know that data hygiene of South Carolina voter files is not a priority for the RNC and we routinely see errors in voting records.

The enmity that is being presented as a question of our budget competence is particularly disingenuous. As you will see from the 2022/2023 budget documents that will be posted on our website and that were approved by the EC body both in March 2022 and January 2023, we presented both expenses and revenue with itemized amounts in pie chart form as an easy way for people to quickly comprehend where our money would come from and how it would be spent. If there was a major concern that the information was not presented in “standard budget format”, could the person in the treasurer’s role have taken the time to present the information correctly in support of the body that approved it? As part of the transparency around budget that NEW members of the EC body may not have had, anyone is invited to arrange a meeting with me, Jeff Davis or Mike Voaden to view a copy of our month to month lease for the space where our headquarters is currently houses. The lease document, which was passed by our EC Body unanimously (except for one nay), was already emailed out by the GCRP to nearly 3,000 people back on March 7th, 2022 and presented on the big screen for review prior to passage. Unfortunately some of our ECs are unable to keep their own records and thought it appropriate to call a special meeting to request another copy.

There are also challenges with a few new members of the EC body who are aligned with the splinter group faction and have been a distraction from our goals of party growth, increased voter turnout and candidate support. One individual’s attorney sent a “No Trespass” letter to our State EC Jeff Davis back in June – wonder how that works when the individual shows up at GCRP business meetings? This individual also seems to think that providing a list of people who attended a precinct meeting meets the SCGOP requirement of providing a list of people who were invited to the meeting. I personally struggle communicating with individuals who seem challenged to understand the difference between archived and active business records, as well as SCGOP rules and regulations around these records and party resources to manage them, and the inappropriateness of giving “deadlines” for completing low value administrative tasks to volunteers. I am sure prior Chairmen would get a big laugh out of us asking for a special called meeting to demand copies of minutes from a 2019 or 1996 business meeting, but then again many are asking that we do so as none of the over 30 years of GCRP records were handed over in the 2021 ReOrg transition to new leadership.

I hope this letter provides each of you a reminder of the bigger picture, to think about some of the things you heard Thursday night with new information, to realize that maintaining the hostilities impeding our work is a conscious choice and that we all could be actively working towards the political improvements so desperately needed in Greenville city and county (it is imperative we protect our library board chair Alan Hill who is the target of a petition by the left and that we work to elect Randall Fowler and Knox White), South Carolina and our Country.

Keep an eye out for my regular newsletter edition coming out mid-week. The topic is Lies and Fear and how avoid being manipulated by them.

“Local” Derangement Syndrome

What do you do when someone you KNOW PERSONALLY exhibits the traits of derangement syndrome?

Published

on

TRUMP Derangement Syndrome (TDS) (HERE) … we have all heard of it … pulled our hair out over it … and for those of us that like to get into the details and use critical thinking skills, we feel like it is utter insanity!!!!

Yes, we now know not to (generally) trust the mainstream media … and we know to ignore the “crazies” like the screaming lady pictured above who is now the posterchild for TDS … but what do you do when someone you KNOW PERSONALLY exhibits the exact same traits of derangement syndrome?

What do you do when a fellow County Executive Committeeman (EC) starts saying things that are objectively and provably FALSE?

What do you do when someone you have to work with personally won’t listen to ANY REASON whatsoever? Won’t meet and “talk”? Won’t open their email or look at a single document?

And worst of all … what do you do when “others” believe that person and act / vote based on what that person says?

It is a real quandary and frankly we believe this local “derangement syndrome” is ripping our communities and our Country apart … and is certainly rampant here in South Carolina and within the SCGOP and local County GOPs.


LOCAL DERANGEMENT SYNDROME:

The “Sauna Meeting” (HERE, HERE & HERE) is going to go down in SCGOP history as the perfect learning example of what is going on with this derangement syndrome that has seeped down into local politics.

The example is extreme in that you have an otherwise reasonable appearing person (Jeff Magg) claiming the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) does not have a required “budget” … but that same person is the one who created the budget (as the elected Treasurer at the time), called it a budget, presented the budget for passage to the GCRP EC Body (on video 2/7/2022), and voted for the budget at least twice.

Say what?!?!?

And worse … this same person (Jeff Magg), a local Greenville Precinct EC and the former GCRP Treasurer … led a group of other individuals to call an “emergency” Special Meeting with less than 48 hours notice over the issue (that the Budget he prepared & presented in 2022, now never existed) … and other people actually believed him.

And he wasn’t alone … a local attorney and former GCRP Chairman from the 1990s (Stephen Brown, Esq.) supported Jeff Magg, egged him on, and helped orchestrate the entire “Sauna Meeting” debacle. It is bizarre … so folks need to ask themselves, “what is really going on?”

[NOTE: Some people have issues … like the TDS posterchild lady above … while others, for their own personal and political motives, are purposefully stoking derangement syndrome in uninformed individuals – and those people need to be EXPOSED!!! This selfish mental manipulation (HERE, HERE & HERE) is what we want everyone to learn to identify … and we must if we want to Save South Carolina & Save America.]


JUST THE FACTS:

February 3rd, 2023: The GCRP Executive Board, including Jeff Magg & Stephen Brown, met at the GCRP HQ and both voted in favor (7-1) to approve the 2022 Budget & $1,250 Lease Terms.

Feb. 6, 2022: Jeff Magg submits Budget to Chairman Davis.
Feb. 7, 2022: Jeff Magg (as Treasurer) presents Budget to the full GCRP EC Body.
March 1, 2022: Jeff Magg quits as GCRP Treasurer after asked to prepare appropriate financial statements.
March 7, 2022: GCRP EC Body UNANIMOUSLY (less 1) passes 2022 Budget and Lease.
Jan. 31, 2023: GCRP EC Body renews exact same Budget for 2023.

September 14th, 2023: Jeff Magg leads a less than 48 hour notice emergency “Special Meeting” and state to the GCRP EC Body that:

  • He has never seen a Budget (even though Jeff Magg prepared the Budget and presented it to the GCRP EC Body when he was Treasurer).
  • GCRP does not have a Budget (even though Jeff Magg voted to approve the Budget and lease terms at least twice).
  • GCRP did not have access to HQ until mid-March 2022 so we should not have paid rent starting 1/1/2022, even though the GCRP had full 24/7 access starting 12/15/2021 and had numerous events at the building (and Jeff Magg personally attended such events / meetings).

FEEDBACK:  You always have to check … “are we the crazy ones?”  WE don’t think their side ever asks themselves that question, but we do, and we think that is what will keep us on the path of TRUTH.

But give us your feedback?  What do you see happening locally with these deranged actions by some?  We have heard all sorts of reasons from psychopathy liars, to the effects of the COVID vaccine (or shedding for those who are not vaccinated) … up to demon possessed.  We don’t know, but send us your thoughts at team@mySCGOP.com.

If we do not fix this … and get people “talking” to one another … will it ever end?

Greenville County Republican Party Chair Sends September 20th, 2023 “Chairman’s Letter”

What are YOUR solutions to experts or authority figures who lie?

Published

on

Greenville County Republican Party Chair sends another piece full of wisdom, interesting analogies and perspectives. Read, Learn & Enjoy …

September 20th, 2023

Dear Greenville County Republican Party Executive Committeemen, Body & Associates,

If someone told you that the two lines below were not the same length, would they be a liar? 

If that same person told you they had a PhD from MIT in line measurement, would you bother to measure the lines for yourself? If someone you dislike intensely tells you the lines are the same length, what is your response?

If you haven’t bothered to measure the lines for yourself, which of the two people mentioned above are you more likely to believe?

If you are in a group with all your best friends and people you go to for advice and they all tell you the lines are different lengths, what is your response.

If you do measure the lines and find something different from what you have been taught to believe, what is your response?

Likely most if not all of you have seen this optical illusion before and know that the lines are actually of equal length. But isn’t it fascinating that even after you know this, you still see them as different.

This is an analogy to the power of lies. You can’t “unhear” or “unsee” them once they have been put into your mind. So even after you know the truth, a lie you heard still has some power. People who purposefully and routinely use the various forms of lying know this.

The questions I asked are simplistic, but they raise the important issues of the kinds of lies people tell, why they work on us and what we can do about it.

I thought you might get a kick out of a Newsmax summary of Biden lies below.

These lies of commission are so blatant and easily disproven one has to ask why tell them? But Biden is relying on his expert/authority power. Some of you may recall from a previous newsletter the statistic that up to 25% of the time, a co-pilot in a simulator flight will not challenge the pilot on a decision and the plane crashes. Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals encourages people to pretend they have expert power by teaching “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have”.

How many of us will question our doctor, a lawyer, or academics. How many of us will look up a candidate’s actual donation record in the FEC and find out about PAC donations. Not nearly enough-which is why lies can work. We are doing better as a delightful Riley Gaines video shows. She is speaking about the differences between male and female skeletons, some guy who calls himself the “expert in the room” disagrees and the room break into laughter. What are YOUR solutions to experts or authority figures who lie? Be courageous and willing to respectfully challenge anyone trying to influence or control you, get second opinions, don’t be rushed into decision making and do your own research.

Lies of omission are those that mislead you by intentionally leaving out relevant information or making suggestions. The person that tells you the lines above are different lengths because they look that way but doesn’t tell you he or she hasn’t measured them is leaving out relevant facts. We can expect these kinds of lies from people who need to convince themselves that their moral compass is intact or have convinced themselves their cause is so good, that the ends justify the means.

“They engage in something we call justified dishonesty,” said Shaul Shalvi, who runs the Behavioral Ethics Lab at the University of Amsterdam. It happens when people’s desire to be ethical clash with the desire to profit or get something. In that case people are willing to lie just a bit “as long as it seems legit,” Shalvi said (New York Post, April 2016). We protect ourselves against this kind of behavior by listening carefully and “peeling the onion”. Keep asking who, what, where when why questions until the truth is revealed. “Is Yvonne Julian one of those Krystle Matthews sleepers” as a Facebook post said recently, is this kind of lie.

Likeability, the human tendency of reciprocity and “we think” can make us believe liars, and sometimes with tragic consequences. The serial killer Ted Bundy was well known for his ability to convince women he needed help because of his looks and immediate likeability. It is unwise to assume that someone we dislike intensely can never tell the truth or have some knowledge we can put to good use.

A woman survived the Jonestown Massacre because she purposefully never took any of the special favors Jim Jones offered her, so didn’t feel obligated to reciprocate and comply when he asked her to drink the poisoned beverage that killed 900 people. “Beware of Greeks bearing gifts”, “there is no such thing as a free lunch” and other bits of wisdom remind us that gifts can be used to make us accept lies out of obligation to the gift giver.

Even a group of people we like would be wrong if they told us the lines in our optical illusion are different lengths, but we would be less likely to dispute them. According to one research study, “people were willing to follow the norms of a group, even when they knew the norms to be unconnected to reality, provided they felt a strong shared identity within the group”. (Pryor, Perfors, & Howe, 2019).

Yes, it is just as easy to be a GOP Sweep bobblehead as a Jeff Davis bobblehead.

I hope you find this brief overview of how and why lies work and how we can fight their influence helpful. Lies are common currency in the political arena, so learning how to combat them is very important-especially for grassroots activists like many of us who do not want to develop lying skills as a tool to gain power, influence or money.

I know our HQ Republicats agree! I hope you do, too!

Double Standards & Lost Perspective

Party Politics Insanity

Published

on

We focus locally … at the PRECINCT level … so we don’t distract ourselves with international stuff … but the above picture of Volodymyr Zelenskyy crossed our screen and we could not pass up the opportunity to note the similarities to local grassroots politics.

How much money have we given this guy? $113 BILLION as of 6/2/2023 per Senator John Kennedy (R – LA) (HERE) … since the war started just more than a year ago.

Seriously?1?1? $113 billion to that “dude” … who looks and dresses just like Cuba’s Fidel Castro from the 1960s … while speaking at the United Nations … literally yesterday?!?!?!

I’m not opining on the pros and cons of aid to Ukraine (although Poland just announced they are stopping military arms shipments to Ukraine this week over a trade dispute – HERE) … that is a much bigger issue for others to debate … but on the surface, the loss of perspective … I’d call it “insanity” … is similar to what we see locally as well.

It is why many “old guard” establishment and RINO types have walked away from Republican GOP activities for other endeavors … SAYING ALL OF THIS IS EMBARRASSING & DISTASTEFUL … and others have stepped up and embraced the ugly and nuttiness.

Note, it is not the America FIRST folks causing this stepping aside, it is the envious ones who can’t handle losing ReOrg elections.


Local Insanity Reflects National?

Over the past two days we introduced you to the 3 page SLED report of a “blogger” from the lowcountry (HERE) … and a Greenville “activist” with 10 CURRENT charges for CRIMINAL SEXUAL CONDUCT (with a minor) (HERE).

Both were active opposition participants at last Thursdays Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) special meeting. The response I got from one? A defensive Facebook post blaming his doctor for his drug addiction & criminal record (we know the psychology there) … and a slanderous (and FALSE) statement that I “forged signatures and stole $950k from a single family.

Oh well, that will be fun in court … AGAIN!!! Most interesting might be to see “who” (i.e., the SCGOP) covers his legal cost. Stay tuned …

[ NOTE ON FORGIVENESS: Everybody has “something” in their past. That is (generally) expected and understandable if we repent and learn from it … make amends to the victims as well as family, friends & the community … but what we are seeing locally and nationally is not normal … and it is why some folks have stepped away from the “establishment” & RINO side as it is embarrassing to associate with unrepentant people.]


Party Politics Insanity:

All of this nuttiness is worse and exacerbated in the #FakeMEDIA and politics.

DEMOCRAT INSANITY: We see the Biden Family flaunting apparently obvious crimes in our face … and Democrats act like it is just fine. We have all seen the pictures of Hunter Biden in an obvious “drugged up” state. It’s not normal and not acceptable in society.

REPUBLICAN INSANITY: But we also have Republican’s doing the same thing. Nationally we have the TRUMP Derangement Syndrome out of the likes of Mitt Romney, Dick Chaney, and so many others who can’t stop fixating on the man no matter what he does.

And locally we have the JEFF DAVIS Derangement Syndrome … when I have never been accused of a crime (to my knowledge), never interviewed by a police officer over an alleged crime … and certainly not arrested, jailed, prosecuted, or convicted of a crime … nor do I have any family member or close associate that I am aware of involved in any crimes or shady dealings.

All I do is push “real” school choice (Pass S 285, the PACE Scholarship Bill) … the Republican Platform … and teach people what is really going on in our political system that has SC rated the Most Liberal Red State in the Nation by our friends at CPAC (HERE).

LOCAL PARTY INSANITY: But locally in South Carolina we have it as well … and the two parties accept as OK and normal certain behavior and associations that would not be tolerated otherwise. I wouldn’t say much about it, but for the derangement some legislators and party gadflies make about it all.

I was done with it all when any elected official, party official, Christian, pastor … really ANYBODY … accepted the activities of my predecessor, former GCRP Chairman Nate Leupp (current SCGOP 4th District Chair). The 2021 ReOrg FRAUD is documented in a 13 page report (HERE) prepared by people that hate me … so you know it is bad. One opposition appointed committee member has a SLED Report a mile long and drunkenly assaulted me at a Congressman William Timmons’ event – documented in a filed a police report and a restraining order request against him.

The activities involving the ReOrg FRAUD physically occurred at MAJESTY MUSIC offices … the place of employment of Mr. Leupp, and run by the SC Freedom Caucus Chairman. There all all sorts of questions about Mr. Leupp, but when you combine it with his 1st Cousin being on the INTERPOL Most Wanted list for Possession & Distribution of Child Pornography … and then you connect Majesty Music to an international DRUG SMUGGLER. When everyone seems to know these things here in Greenville and are all “hush hush” about it … this truly is national insanity on a local level.

But watch … today certain people will call me the “bad guy” for speaking publicly about this … while these same folks cry about a 2008 … 15 years ago … bank investment of mine that went south.

Well, PASS “REAL” SCHOOL CHOICE and show you care about K-12 children with special needs … as opposed to your careers. That is what I’m sacrificing for … you?

Times Are Changing:

But, don’t worry … we see things changing in the “good ole boy” State of South Carolina.

Just in the last week the Ron Rallis (see below) settled his divorce case involving Congressman William Timmons (R – SC, 4th District). Rallis appears to have gotten everything he wanted (custody of his daughter) in what avoided testimony by Congressman Timmons in the divorce case.

We also saw an Alex Murdaugh associated attorney Cory Fleming sentenced to almost 14 years (originally reported at 20 years) for his participation from a financial / documentation perspective. Federal Judge Richard Gergel only gave Cory 3 years … but the state court Judge Clifton Newman threw the book at him. That would not have happened 5 years ago.

Both Cory & Alex were 1994 classmates of mine at USC Law School … and as I tell people all the time, what was going on in Hampton County was not a secret to anyone … and not unique in our state. Put it this way … the same things (with a little twist) go on right here in Greenville County and I am sure nearly everywhere else in our State.

It has to STOP!!!

We are getting closer … but all this insanity has to be EXPOSED … and it has to STOP.

I give people chances all the time to come clean (even privately so as to avoid embarrassment) and start doing the right things. Most people decline … usually out of arrogance. But that all is changing. The insanity has reached a level where it is obvious to nearly EVERYONE. Ten charges of Criminal Sexual Conduct with a minor … and you are willing to show your face and feign outrage at a GCRP Special Meeting?!?!? Even if you were completely innocent, with those current charges outstanding normal people would be worried about something other than a Trespass Notice given to another political individual with a criminal drug background.

The above is not to dox people … and it frankly is just the TIP OF THE ICEBERG … so expect more as a necessary step in coming clean … but it is to serve as a continuing reminder that nothing is what is seems in politics … and to …

… TRUST NO ONE!!!

I really can’t wait for Good News Friday with Lawrence tomorrow, and a shower today.
