This legislative corruption is pervasive in South Carolina “politics” … and MUST STOP!!!

Today we are expecting a VOTE on the ESA “only” BILL (S39).

We actively oppose this ESA “only” bill because it is 100% government-run. Who would want the GOVERNMENT having 100% control over the purse-strings of our Private & Christian schools? That is just not smart knowing that strings come with all “government” money.

Well, #FollowTheMoney and you will understand.

TWO COMMON TAXPAYER QUESTIONS:

1. We always wonder why someone would want a legislator “job” that only pays $10,400 / year???

2. How do politicians go into office broke, and come out worth MILLIONS & MILLIONS of dollars??? We see this in Congress all the time … but guess what, it is right here in the South Carolina State House too.

3. Why have LEGISLATORS been sooooo pushy on the ESA as opposed to the obviously in EVERY RESPECT better, by any measure, PACE Scholarship Bill??? Legislators have literally refused all reasonable discussions … so something is fishy?!?!?!

#FollowTheMONEY!!!

Well, the following is a taste of the BIG TIME MONEY in the Education Savings Account Bill (S39), The data just came out FRIDAY!!! Right before the VOTE??? No coincidence in our book.

We used the governments own January 27th, 2023 Fiscal Analysis of the bill.

As you can see from the Fiscal Analysis produced by SC Revenue & Fiscal Affairs group, all of these numbers come directly from the government itself.

$1 MILLION up-front!!!

$1.5 MILLION a year for a “Service Agreement”!!!

3% … FOREVER!!!

$183 MILLION Net Present Value!!!

Up to Half-A-Billion in Private Equity CAPITAL VALUE.

Good business “if” you can get it … or a GOOD INVESTMENT if you can invest in these “private” companies … and let us assure you, YOU can’t get this business, and You can not invest … and it won’t be going to a South Carolina business either … our bet … the anti-2nd Amendment tech company out of Floridan called CLASSWALLET.

More on CLASSWALLET later … https://classwallet.com

And worse … the ADMINISTRATIVE FEES are much higher than those under the P.A.C.E. Scholarship Bill. 13.25% vs. 5% in year #1.

It is incredible … and should be CRIMINAL!!!

These extra ADMINISTRATIVE FEES are also just the “tip of the iceberg“. The “Private Financial Management Firms” have all kinds of extra ways to “profit” off the program.

Remember these ESAs let you buy all kinds of “educational stuff” … from THEIR MARKETPLACE. The “marketplace” is not necessarily the best value, but when it is considered “free money” to the families it is not that big of a concern paying 5% or 10% or 20% MORE than say Walmart.

Ask yourself, when has the GOVERNMENT ever done anything cheaper than the free-market … or a bunch of SC Non-Profits???

This legislative corruption is pervasive in South Carolina “politics” … and MUST STOP!!!

#FollowTheMoney!!!

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

mySCGOP.news

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!!!
