YES … They will LIE to YOU!!!
“They don’t get better, they just get smarter”
It is literally one of the hardest things to comprehend … someone will knowingly LIE right to your face.
It is nearly impossible for good people to wrap their mind around the fact, especially when the lies are coming from people you see around town (or at Church on Sunday) … or are your elected officials.
But it is a FACT … a provable FACT if you want to take the time to “test” the theory yourself.
We are bringing it up again because we have seen it more than a few times this past week as folks have been calling around asking their SC House Reps about “real” School Choice and S 285. We have gotten reports of some interesting statements and some wild goose chases some legislators have sent they constituents on related to “real” School Choice and S 285.
Our recommendation … KEEP DIGGING!!!
Overused … but real
Yes, we know “Narcissist” is an overused term … you can’t go a day without seeing people accuse other people of being “narcissist” … especially in politics. We don’t accuse specific people of being narcissist or psychopaths … we are not doctors and certainly can’t diagnose others … but we did find it interesting that the ability to “lie to your face without a second thought” is part of the definition.
This is not a novel concept that people will lie to your face … it exist … so be aware and don’t me misled. Keep digging until you get to the TRUTH.
What does the BIBLE say?
Pretty simple … it is actually on of the BIG 10 … #9 in the Ten Commandments. And verses about lying & deceit are throughout the Bible … like A LOT of them!!!
It is not one we would want to test or play around with. It is so much easier to simply tell the truth. But for others, they can’t get ahead without lying, or at least they don’t think they can.
Plus … a healthy fear of God seems to be lacking in some, no matter what they say on Sunday or how many Bible verses they can quote.
Know that it is not about quoting the Bible … it is about following the Bible and its teachings. There is a difference.
9. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” – Exodus 20:16

Stephen King Gets It!
And if the clinical definitions and direction from the BIBLE don’t convince you lying and deceit are a serious problem in humans … take it from the master of macabre himself, Stephen King (HERE).
We use the example all the time that we all knew that kid in elementary school that liked to “pull the wings off flies” … or set things on fire!!! He (or she) were a little off and your parents did not want you playing with them after school. Remember that kid?
Well those kids grew up … and as Mr. King says … “they don’t get better, they just get smarter” … and thus justify (or hide) it better.
Test It Yourself!!!
Don’t be overly negative … as hard as it may seem sometime … just be AWARE!!! Folks do lie … especially in politics.
TrustNOONE!
VerifyEVERYTHING!
Test it yourself … with your elected official or other political types. If they tell you something that seems a little off … especially if it is about another person … DIG DEEPER … challenge them on it … figure out the truth. Talk to the other party. Figure out if you are being lied to. We encourage you to challenge us all the time … if you don’t understand, JUST ASK!!! No one should be offended if you ask for an explanation or more details (from both sides).
We did, we tested what we were being told by politicians, and it changed our entire perspective on politics. You may not like what you find … but if you want to Save America & Save South Carolina, you are not going to be able to help do so unless you understand the basic concept that PEOPLE LIE.
Yes, ignorance is bliss … but we are in this mess for a reason and we won’t get out ignoring the realities of life.
NeverSURRENDER!
by Jeff Davis
As we head into the 2026 South Carolina Primaries next June 9th, Republican (and Democrat) voters will be faced with picking which Republican (or Democrat) they want to represent them in the general election. It will be a choice we each have to make among the available options … the 2, 3 or 5 candidates that filed and are on the ballot … and there is no “None Of The Above” option. Sure, you don’t have to vote … but don’t complain later when you sat out the election.
We are seeing already … the jockeying by political consultants and their operatives to push their candidate (and tear down the opponents) … and the “PERFECTIONISTS” that complain about every candidate, but offer no solutions (and are not willing to run for office themselves).
A THOUGHTFUL APPROACH: Selection of a candidate to support is not easy. None of them are perfect, and how much can you really believe from what you hear on the campaign trail. What we like to encourage is that everyone think critically and logically about candidates and their campaigns, and steer clear as best you can of the emotional knee-jerk reactions that often dominate the discussions.
IT IS NOT JUST THE CANDIDATE – LOOK AT THEIR TEAM: While it’s tempting to focus solely on the candidate, it’s equally important to examine the people they surround themselves with. If you’re unaware of a candidate’s consultants (and their motivations), staff (and their roles), or the candidate’s supporters (who will inevitable have the ear of the candidate), it’s wise to hold off on offering your support. Ultimately, it’s not just about the candidate—it’s about their TEAM (or the “baggage” that comes with them).
We like to prioritize two key qualities when evaluating candidates:
(#1) Electability: A candidate (a) willing to run for office and (b) capable of winning. You may know the “perfect” person, but if they won’t run for office or are not capable of winning … what good are they?
(#2) Collaboration and Integrity: A candidate open to working with The People, with the grassroots, willing to listen, eager to include The People as part of their TEAM, and genuinely committed to doing what’s objectively right for the people—not just themselves (or their monied special interest backers). Here is where experience and judgment comes into consideration because you really don’t know what a candidate might do once elected. We have helped candidates get elected – and then never spoken with them again (not by our choice). Being lied to is a hard lesson to learn.
This process of selecting a candidate to back is both an art and a science, and while we may never find the “perfect” candidate, we can identify and support those who meet these two criteria and give us the best odds of promoting the conservative cause … at least until the next election when we will have another chance to try again.
THE TRUMP OF 2016: Reflecting on the field of “candidates” in 2016 … and the original “candidate” DONALD J. TRUMP … I believe that original candidate TRUMP, embodied these qualities, and that approach has proven effective in helping Save America.
STOP LOOKING FOR A “POLITICAL SAVIOR”: Most importantly, let’s remember, no candidate will save us. There is only one true “Savior”, and He is not running for office. Our work continues, so don’t think you are off the hook if your person gets elected. But having the right people – dedicated TEAM players – in elected positions from top to bottom can make all the difference.
Be smart … be logical … don’t be emotional … and don’t just complain, complain, complain.

TRUMP Truth Social Post (HERE)
The NANCY MACE campaign released polling numbers yesterday showing a commanding early lead in the South Carolina Governor’s Race … 25% MACE, 17% Alan Wilson, 10% Ralph Norman, 6% Pamela Evette, 3% Josh Kimbrell … with 38% Lean / Undecided. You can see the full reports HERE & below.
The polling results show MACE separating herself from the crowd since officially launching her candidacy last week and announcing AUSTIN MCCUBBIN (HERE), the 2024 TRUMP Team Statewide Director, has joined her team. This all seems to make MACE the early odds on favorite to win the Republican Primary next June 9th, 2026 … 294 days from today.
You can find more details on FITSNews (HERE & on X HERE) … but the real story broke when President TRUMP himself shared the MACE Polling Lead on his TRUTH Social (HERE) last night at 9:29pm. When the POTUS shares your leading polling data with the world … that is a not so subtle message.
Good news for NANCY MACE … but and incredibly bad sign for Lt. Governor Pamela Evette who is in a distant 4th with 6% of the vote. The Lt. Governor has led folks to believe she has TRUMP’s endorsement locked up. Well, that claim did not seem believable at the time … and really doesn’t appear believable now. When was the last time TRUMP endorsed someone in 4th place??? We can’t remember either.
Stay tuned … it is going to be a fun 2026 primary season!!!
