learn to trust nothing …

Learn to Trust NOTHING!!! Seriously … NOTHING!!!

Published

December 9, 2024

One of the hardest things I have ever had to learn in this political world is to trust nothing. It is truly the hardest thing most good people will do. We are honest, so we expect others are honest too. We are taught from a young age … or maybe it is just genetic for most of us … that we should trust our elders, superiors, teachers, religious leaders, doctors, lawyers, judges, etc. … and we are also taught to trust our elected officials. But unfortunately, in today’s world, trusting these people (or really anyone beyond your closest confidants) is the LAST thing you should do.

Trusting nothing is a horrible way to have to live. I dislike living this way. I miss the days when I knew nothing about politics … and nothing about the bigger financial manipulation that makes us all pawns of the global elite.

I also have some guilt about having to teach others to trust nothing. I know that once they “see it”, most won’t be able to unsee it. And I know when they “see it” … they will be faced with a personal test … to go along to get along, or to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT. The fighters of course we love and welcome … but my guilt stems from the knowledge that I’ve forced some people to realize they are the “go along to get along” types … I’ve forced them to realize they are cowards.

We are challenging people right now … about the litmus test of School Choice. We are years into this fight for children … we have been right the entire time … and we have the data now to prove it. We shared with you the November 21st letter (HERE) to Lt. Governor Pamela Evette showing the kids / families at HOPE ACADEMY received $600k in 2015 … and only $65,600 last year. On Sunday I shared with Rep. April Cromer (R – Anderson) that her district school, ANDERSON CHRISTIAN SCHOOL received $200k in 2015 (1/2 scholarships – they were owed $400k) … and only $16,000 last year. Yes, only $16,000!!!

What will these two moms do? How can any mom look away? I have given them a test that will force them to decide between going along to get along (for the benefit of their own political careers) … or to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT (for the benefit of the kids). I’ve challenged them to be heroes for these families … but I fear they will deflect and blame “Jeff Davis” as some bad guy. Stay tuned …

Families get funding … or not. Taxpayers save money … or not. It really is that simple. Which will these moms choose, now that I have shown them the needless damage these children with special needs have endured?

Yes, I have a little guilt giving anyone this “test” … but We The People need to know “who” they are … “who” all of our elected officials and people with political influence are deep down. I know folks that personally like these two elected officials … Rep. Cromer & Lt. Gov. Evette … so they too will be faced with the reality of Rep. Cromer & the Lt. Governor. Will these moms be Service or Self?

We won’t make any progress until the people about Self are replaced with people about Service.

It is not hard … but it starts with US understanding we must “learn to trust nothing” and to “verify everything”.

Again, stay tuned …

Choosing the Right Candidate: A Thoughtful Approach

(#1) Electable & (#2) Collaborative

Published

Jeff Davis

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 Shares Nancy MACE Polling Lead for Governor

Mace Leads with 25% over Wilson at 17%

Published

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!!!
