Dig Deeper – Treasurer Curtis Loftis
“When something makes no sense … DIG DEEPER!!!”
Friends, one of our main teaching themes in politics (and life generally) is “When something makes no sense … DIG DEEPER!!!” For example, I had two good friends call me last Tuesday night because a former statewide political candidate had told them that if I was elected SCGOP Chairman in May … I would receive a $5 MILLION check from the school choice lobby. Seriously, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! What this lie spreader (is that a term? lol) does not understand is that we are FIGHTING the monied special interest school choice lobby … they would never write me a check … and in fact the America Federation for Children, employer of the Gay Porn actor Corey DeAngelis (mySCGOP.news 10/8/2024: HERE), actually endorsed Drew McKissick. Did McKissick receive a $5 MILLION check in May 2023???
It was an absurd allegation … but people believe this sort of garbage in the political world all the time … and we must learn to not fall for these political tactics. Study the psychology and the mental / political manipulation that goes on … it truly is fascinating once you start to see it.
So, why would someone spread this lie about me? Simple … “they” (RINOs & a few select others) are scared to death “crazy” TRUMP supporting MAGA America First leaders like myself and others will take over the SCGOP. They can’t have that … can they? 😉
Case Study: Treasurer Curtis Loftis
Well, a similar situation came up last week as well when a random individual asked a good friend … “Did you hear our State Treasurer stole $1.8 BILLION Dollars?“ Again, how absurd is that!?!?!? Seriously, that would be the crime of the century … but study the psychology and how we got to this point. Note how that general narrative (that something really bad happened) is being spread by certain politicians and the #FakeNews mainstream media. It really is an interesting study when you see past the emotional triggers and half truths.
It is the same sort of Project Mockingbird (Wikipedia: HERE) scam they ran against President TRUMP that is all coming out now. Have we not figured out we are LIED to constantly … or is the other side so desperate their lies are getting bigger an bigger? $1.8 Billion? $5 Million? It’s nutty!!!
But the real question is … and we will need to dig even deeper over time … who and what is behind the smear campaign against Curtis Loftis … and why?
First of all, let me make clear I have ZERO concerns that Curtis Loftis has done something wrong here. Curtis is not the State Comptroller (ie, the state accountant), nor is the the State Auditor … the two people responsible, and the two people that have already resigned over this scandal. Curtis has nothing to do with accounting nor the books & records for the state. He is our State Banker … he invests and oversees the money he is given … period.
As a CPA / Tax Attorney … I come from this finance world and have had a few billionaire clients back in the day … so the way I have explained it to friends is as such … this is like your personal investment advisor being blamed for what your CPA did on your tax return. How are the two related? They are not.
So … obviously there are a ton of RED FLAGS popping up when we see Curtis Loftis (the banker / investment guy) being blamed by political folks for what the CPA / accountants did wrong. It just makes no sense.
My Hypothesis:
As someone who has had more lies told about them than most … here is my quick “political” analysis knowing how these things play out … and knowing the corrupt side of the political and mental manipulation that is obviously being done against Curtis. The three reasons Curtis is being “attacked” … like Donald TRUMP was … over something he has nothing to do with.
(#1) “They” are scared Curtis will run for Governor or US Senate: Curtis Loftis is easily the most popular elected official in the State of South Carolina. Not the Governor, not the Lt. Governor … not Alan Wilson or Nancy Mace … not even Senator Tim Scott (and I won’t mention Lindsey). Everybody in South Carolina LOVES Curtis Loftis … and the “everybody” I am talking about are The People and grassroots activists. He is personable, friendly, will talk with anyone … and “if” he wanted to run for Governor or against Lindsey Graham in 2026, he would be the frontrunner by far.
So … if you are politician wanting to run for Governor or US Senate … or a current politician (or company – see #3 below) afraid of what Curtis might do if elected Governor or as our US Senator … what do you do with the real threat of “Curtis”? Simple, you start a SMEAR CAMPAIGN now … two years in advance … to beat his reputation down and fool people into thinking something absurd, like “he stole $1.8 billion”. It is very simple, yet very diabolical … but it is what politicians, political consultants and even diabolical companies do. Yes, it happens ALL THE TIME!!!
To demonstrate the point … ask yourself why is our SC Attorney General Alan Wilson not saying anything about this $1.8 BILLION dollar issue? Shouldn’t he opine as to whether Curtis Loftis has any responsibility in this matter … or if there was any criminality at all (which I don’t think there was – even by the accountants)? Well, note that AG Wilson has been silent … and AG Wilson is presumably running for Governor in 2026. Perhaps AG Wilson thinks its best for Curtis to look as bad as possible, “just in case” Curtis decides to run for Governor. It’s a theory … but know that AG Wilson is not the only one that would want Curtis out of the way.
(#2) #FollowTheMONEY: A second theory … as our State Treasurer, Curtis Loftis oversees more than $70 billion in public funds for State of South Carolina. He determines where to custody those assets (i.e., which bank or financial institution) and who will be the investment advisors. One percent (1%) a year, here or there in the investment world is a rounding error … but 1% of $70 BILLION is also $700 million a year … so we are talking about HUGE money. There are corrupt people that want to get their fingers in that pie … and that could be disastrous for the State of South Carolina and our taxpayers.
This HUGE “money grab” alone could explain the bizarre blaming of Curtis Loftis for the incompetence and errors of the state accountants & auditors.
(#3) BlackRock / Globalist types & DEI: Now this third theory is good … and the people potentially behind it are particularly “bad” to say the least … but ask yourself “who” has been the most vocal voice against DEI, social credit scores and all that mess here in South Carolina? None other than our State Treasurer Curtis Loftis. And “who” has been the target of those accusations … the GLOBALIST and companies like BlackRock and their billionaire CEO & lifelong Democrat Party supporter Larry Fink (Wikipedia: HERE).
We know these people hold a grudge … and it is not unusual for institutions to “target” their naysayers. You really don’t want to call out a company like BlackRock who has $11.5 TRILLION in assets under management … yes, $11.5 TRILLION … and Curtis Loftis did that … and he did that to protect The People and the State of South Carolina!!! We should be giving him a medal of honor.
Folks on the left and in the Democrat Media are all worried about what Elon Musk might do with his net worth of $400 Billion … well, what about a guy like Larry Fink controlling $11.5 TRILLION!!! Curtis Loftis stood up for The People … and he stood up against the biggest folks in the investment industry. The last thing those people want is another TRUMP style politician with massive grassroots support … so better to take him out early and however they can.
Conclusion: Think LOGICALLY
Remember … always think LOGICALLY … not emotionally!!! There are bad people out there trying to influence you one way or the other using your emotions against you. Don’t fall for it. Jeff Davis is not getting a $5 million dollar check … nor has Curtis Loftis stolen $1.8 Billion … but there are people scared of me … and much, much, much more scared of our SC State Treasure Curtis Loftis … and that my friends is a good thing.
Again, as we teach … “When something makes no sense … DIG DEEPER!!!”

September 10th, 2025, is a day many conservatives will never forget.
On that infamous day the conservative movement lost one of its most influential voices when Charlie Kirk was tragically assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. He was just 31 years old. A future President struck down.
As the founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie dedicated his life to engaging young Americans in the political process, defending constitutional principles, and challenging a culture that too often discourages free speech and open debate. Through his leadership, Turning Point USA grew into one of the most significant grassroots organizations in the country, inspiring a generation of conservative activists. Be Charlie!!!
Charlie Kirk was never afraid to stand for his convictions. He believed America was worth defending, freedom was worth preserving, and young people were worth investing in. Youth is the future.
As we remember Charlie Kirk, we honor a husband, father, patriot, and tireless advocate for the values he cherished. His life serves as a reminder that ideas matter, civic engagement matters, standing up for your faith matters, and courage in the public square matters.
May Charlie rest in peace, and may his family continue to find strength in the legacy he left behind.

The end date was August 30th, 2021.
If you have questions about America’s military and foreign policy decisions under President Donald J. Trump, I would highly encourage you to watch the newly released 57-minute Wall Street Journal Opinion documentary, The Path to Zero: The Withdrawal From Afghanistan.
Produced by Michael Park’s Palladium Pictures (HERE), the film examines the decisions and events that led to the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. It traces the collapse of the Afghan government, the frantic evacuation effort at Kabul’s airport, and the deadly Abbey Gate bombing that claimed the lives of 13 American service members.
What makes the documentary especially important is how quickly many Americans have forgotten those events under the previous Biden Administration. They question the direction of President Trump on international affairs … while forgetting exactly how embarrassing things were just 5 years ago.
The Path to Zero is available to watch free on The Wall Street Journal Opinion YouTube channel (HERE).

Between the “Write-In Ralph” movement and the television ads for Democrat Annie Andrews during Labor Day weekend football games, we’re seeing a lot of angst about the potential outcome of the November 3rd U.S. Senate election here in South Carolina.
Before folks get too worked up, remember not to get distracted by emotion. Election Day is still nearly two months away. There are very capable people being paid to plan and execute Darline Graham’s campaign, and they are certainly not planning to lose.
And remember to pay attention to the available data. While the Darline Graham campaign has to execute and not be over confident, the betting odds prediction markets show a high confidence in a Darline Graham victory. 85% to 15% in fact. People willing to put their money behind their expectations – not just share opinions on social media – by far view Graham as the likely winner.
Of course, prediction markets are only one data point, and campaigns are won through voter engagement and turnout, not bets. But at this moment, the available indicators do not suggest panic.
We’ve been doing this for a long time – too long in fact – but one lesson remains constant:
Think logically, not emotionally.
85% Graham v. 15% Andrews

Labor Day can be confusing for conservatives. Sure, we love a holiday barbeque with family and friends … but are we celebrating Labor Unions?
Whatever the history of Labor Day (WikiPedia: HERE), the reality is that today we celebrate Labor Day by honoring the men and women whose hard work strengthens our families, communities, state, and nation.
Work is more than a paycheck. It is a source of purpose, responsibility, and pride. Through honest labor, people provide for their loved ones, serve their neighbors, create opportunities for future generations, and contribute to the common good. These efforts often go unnoticed, but their contributions are invaluable.
As we observe this Labor Day, we thank all those whose dedication and perseverance help make South Carolina and America strong. May we never lose sight of the simple truth that work has dignity, responsibility builds character, and opportunity flourishes when people are free to pursue their God-given talents and abilities.

September is recognized nationwide as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor children battling cancer, support their families, celebrate survivors, and remember those we have lost.
On September 1, Jeff Davis & Olga Lisinska attended South Carolina’s Childhood Cancer Awareness Month observance at the State House in Columbia. The event brought together advocates, families, survivors, and state leaders to raise awareness and offer encouragement to those affected by pediatric cancer.
The keynote speaker was Representative Mark Smith (R–District 99, Berkeley County – HERE), a longtime supporter of childhood cancer awareness efforts in South Carolina. Rep. Smith shared a proclamation from Gov. Henry McMaster that said cancer is the leading cause of death by disease for children. Event organizer and advocate Kristine Schaffer was recognized for her work and delivered the “Prayer of Joy,” a message of hope for children and families facing cancer.
Jeff Davis, Chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party and co-founder of mySCGOP.com, expressed his support for the cause:
“We care about kids, and we care about cancer. Childhood Cancer Awareness Month reminds us that every child fighting this disease deserves our prayers, our support, and our commitment to finding better treatments and ultimately a cure. This is something we strongly support.”
The gold ribbon serves as the symbol of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout September, South Carolinians are encouraged to learn more about childhood cancer, support affected families, and keep children undergoing treatment in their thoughts and prayers.
At mySCGOP.news, we proudly join in recognizing Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and standing with the brave children and families facing this challenge every day.
