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?
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.

As we rejoice in election victories, let us never forget whom we truly serve: our Lord alone. The ultimate victory was never up for vote—it was settled at the cross. Jesus has already won.
As we enter this Thanksgiving week, what better time to lift our eyes from the ballot box to the One who holds all things together? So stay steady, keep working hard with joy, and place no ultimate trust in parties or elected officials.
We do not fight for victory; we fight from victory. Be thankful. Always. And especially this week—give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, and His steadfast love endures forever!
“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 15:57
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), politicians (and voters) often claim “Christian values” while ignoring Jesus’ commands like speaking truth, hypocrisy, performative piety, vindictiveness, etc., etc.

Friends, we have been running a weekly Coffee & Politics Meeting out of our Greenville Headquarters for nearly 3 1/2 years now … and it has been a huge hit. It is how we communicate our vision and #Mission to or local Volunteers and Community … and it one way we RECRUIT more people to the MAGA America First movement.
Politicians (and voters) often claim “Christian values” while ignoring Jesus’ commands like speaking truth, hypocrisy, performative piety, vindictiveness, etc., etc.
Policy positions mean nothing if personal and political conduct disobeys Christ. A leader can quote Scripture on stage but lack God’s presence if their actions contradict it.
Christian influence is not measured by votes won or laws enacted, but by whether God can truly “make His home” in the hearts and actions of those who wield power.
“Jesus replied, Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.”
John 14:23
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), as Veterans Day approaches, the verse from John 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends”, offers a profound life lesson in selfless sacrifice.

Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with holidays in several countries, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which also occur on the anniversary of the end of World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.
Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May: Veterans Day commemorates the service of all U.S. veterans, while the older Memorial Day, which grew out of Civil War commemorations, specifically honors those who have died while in military service. Another military holiday that also occurs in May, Armed Forces Day, honors those currently serving in the U.S. military. Additionally, Women Veterans Day is recognized by a growing number of U.S. states that specifically honor women who have served in the U.S. military.
BONUS CONTENT – POLAND INDEPENDENCE DAY: Independence Day (Polish: Narodowe Święto Niepodległości) is a national day in Poland celebrated on 11 November to commemorate the anniversary of the restoration of Poland’s sovereignty as the Second Polish Republic in 1918 from the German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires. Following the partitions in the late 18th century, Poland ceased to exist for 123 years until the end of World War I, when the destruction of the neighboring powers allowed the country to reemerge. It is a non-working day and a flag flying day in Poland.
