Lexington GOP Update & State EC Meeting
Simple Theft? RICO? A Criminal Conspiracy?
The SCGOP had their quarterly State Executive Committee meeting this past Saturday in Columbia … and it was a rather quiet and uneventful meeting (details to follow) … except for one major issue … the recognition of Pamela Godwin as the duly elected Chair of the Lexington County Republican Party (LCRP).
Chair Godwin won election in a landslide (75% +/-) against former SC State Rep, former candidate for SC Attorney General, and local attorney Todd Atwater (HERE & HERE) back in April 2023 … but like many TRUMP supporting County GOPs in South Carolina, some factions have been unwilling to accept the election of said parties and are seeking to disrupt party operations. #FollowTheMoney!!!
It also did not help that Ms. Godwin oversaw the censure of Senator Katrina Shealy (HERE) for her vote against the Heartbeat Bill (HERE) … something the SCGOP Resolutions Committee, as Chaired by Terry Hardesty, State EC from Berkeley County, has refused to allow to come to the full State Executive Committee for a vote.
Why No SCGOP Censure?
SIDEBAR ISSUE: Ask yourself … why won’t the SCGOP “Censure “the three Republican “Sister Senators” who voted against LIFE? And remember, whether Terry & Chairman Drew McKissick like it or not, “The Right to Life” is the #1 issue on the SC Republican Platform!!! (HERE)
Mental Manipulation?
I has been widely “misreported” on social media and via some questionable media sources (HERE) that that Chair Godwin had been removed from office.
Removed as in past tense … already gone.
RECOGNIZED BY THE SCGOP: But Ms. Godwin was signed-in and allowed entry to the SCGOP State Executive Committee meeting on Saturday on behalf of the LCRP … permitted to speak … all indicating that the SCGOP clearly recognizes Pamela Godwin as the current Chair for the LCRP.
As many know it has been the longstanding position of the SCGOP that a County Officer, elected at a County Convention, can not be removed unless they resign or violate the very specific provisions of the SCGOP Rule 5(e). Any local vote or local rules to the contrary are null & void.
The Anderson county Example: This SCGOP position on removal of a County Chair was made clear when several years ago the Anderson County Republican Party (ACRP) Executive Committee UNANIMOUSLY voted out then chair Cheryl Teague-Cuthrell … and the SCGOP refused to acknowledge the removal. [NOTE: Reportedly Ms. Cuthrell had attempted to cancel the local ACRP Executive Committee meeting claiming to need to be with a sick relative (and a likely vote against her) … but when it was discovered that instead of being with her sick relative she was attending the Greenville County GOP Bronze Elephant Dinner the same night … the vote was unanimous for removal.]
WOW!!!
SCGOP Rules Committee Guidance: Ironically, as part of the regular rule guidance provided to the SCGOP Executive Committee, the Rules Committee addressed a similar issue this past Saturday regarding replacement of Precinct Officers. Regardless of local rules, no Precinct Officer elected during ReOrg can be replaced against their will (except under very specific SCGOP rules exceptions). Simply stated, there are no “recall” provisions.
Like it or not … #NoExceptions!!!
WHY No Exceptions? We can only speculate, but if it were possible to recall or removed elected Party officials from ReOrg and County Convention … or State Convention for that matter … this would be going on all over South Carolina, all the time, and would likely become unmanagable. We can’t remove “real” elected officials here in South Carolina until the next election (yet) … and we can’t remove “Party” elected officials either.

Criminality?
Back to Lexington …. the “splinter group” in there has taken it to a new level. Two of the five elected LCRP County Officers (the 1st & 3rd Vice Chairs) have apparently stepped way over the line by ….
(#1) absconded with the LCRP Facebook page,
(#2) set-up a new LCRP website on 8/11/2023 (actual page HERE, faux page HERE), and most troubling
(#3) are soliciting funds from unknowing individuals.
Taking money under false pretenses … that is a serious problem … and perhaps a crime???
Faux Chair Election?
And to top it all off … the splinter group is purporting to have a new election TONIGHT, October 2nd at the same time as the regularly scheduled LCRP Business Meeting occurring at their long-term LCRP venue, the Lexington Chamber and Visitors Center.
As per the splinter groups Facebook post (on the original LCRP Facebook page which they have illegally usurped), this faux election will occur down the road at the Flight Deck Restaurant.
Lots More to Come!!!
Obviously if your intent was to support the old guard RINO “establishment”, creating this sort of division and confusion is exactly how you would do it. It is not something the old TEA Party folks ever did … but we are not dealing with the old TEA Party folks either are we! The Uniparty is omnipresent … so as we teach, “Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.”
We suspect there will be a lot more to report on the LCRP in the coming weeks … so stay tuned and follow the facts, the Rules & the Law.
Remember, Precinct ReOrg, County Conventions and the SC Republican Party are all ultimately governed by State & Federal Election LAW. If you think the “law” considers January 6th an “insurrection” … what exactly is going on in Lexington and places like Greenville and Charleston? These aren’t simple homeowners association or garden club disputes … there are serious legal and political governance implications at stake.
Simple Theft? RICO? A Criminal Conspiracy? (HERE)
Stay tuned … this will likely get very interesting.
#LearnTheirTRICKS!!!
He was mocked, beaten, abused … he was hung on the cross. He conquered the power of sin. He defeated death! He did it for YOU and ME. He did it for the sins of this world. HE IS RISEN!
May the meaning of Easter, the risen Lord, fill your heart with love, compassion and hope.
Happy Easter! 
“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.”
Matthew 28:6
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), today is Palm Sunday, the start of Holy Week … the most sacred week! Let’s use this time to reflect on the unfathomable obedience, love and compassion that we are gifted daily, by our Savior.
Happy Sunday!

FITS 2024
Upcoming Congressional and State Convention
EVERYONE who is a MAGA / America FIRST state delegate or state alternate should attend
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.
REGISTER TODAY
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.
SAVE THE DATE – Saturday May 4th
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!!!

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 …

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!

Today is Palm Sunday (HERE), the start of Holy Week … the most sacred week! Let’s use this time to reflect on the unfathomable obedience, love and compassion that we are gifted daily, by our Savior. The triumph over sin, sacrifice, forgiveness, hope, faith, are few more things to reflect on during this special time …
Let us know what do you do to celebrate the Holy Week!
“And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”
Philippians 2:8
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), God’s plans for his children unfold in the simplest ways of our daily lives. How often do you question God’s purpose … his plan … and simply ask, why God?
Happy Sunday!
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.
