We focus locally … at the PRECINCT level … so we don’t distract ourselves with international stuff … but the above picture of Volodymyr Zelenskyy crossed our screen and we could not pass up the opportunity to note the similarities to local grassroots politics.
How much money have we given this guy? $113 BILLION as of 6/2/2023 per Senator John Kennedy (R – LA) (HERE) … since the war started just more than a year ago.
Seriously?1?1? $113 billion to that “dude” … who looks and dresses just like Cuba’s Fidel Castro from the 1960s … while speaking at the United Nations … literally yesterday?!?!?!
I’m not opining on the pros and cons of aid to Ukraine (although Poland just announced they are stopping military arms shipments to Ukraine this week over a trade dispute – HERE) … that is a much bigger issue for others to debate … but on the surface, the loss of perspective … I’d call it “insanity” … is similar to what we see locally as well.
It is why many “old guard” establishment and RINO types have walked away from Republican GOP activities for other endeavors … SAYING ALL OF THIS IS EMBARRASSING & DISTASTEFUL … and others have stepped up and embraced the ugly and nuttiness.
Note, it is not the America FIRST folks causing this stepping aside, it is the envious ones who can’t handle losing ReOrg elections.
Local Insanity Reflects National?
Over the past two days we introduced you to the 3 page SLED report of a “blogger” from the lowcountry (HERE) … and a Greenville “activist” with 10 CURRENT charges for CRIMINAL SEXUAL CONDUCT (with a minor) (HERE).
Both were active opposition participants at last Thursdays Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) special meeting. The response I got from one? A defensive Facebook post blaming his doctor for his drug addiction & criminal record (we know the psychology there) … and a slanderous (and FALSE) statement that I “forged signatures and stole $950k from a single family“.
Oh well, that will be fun in court … AGAIN!!! Most interesting might be to see “who” (i.e., the SCGOP) covers his legal cost. Stay tuned …
[NOTE ON FORGIVENESS: Everybody has “something” in their past. That is (generally) expected and understandable if we repent and learn from it … make amends to the victims as well as family, friends & the community … but what we are seeing locally and nationally is not normal … and it is why some folks have stepped away from the “establishment” & RINO side as it is embarrassing to associate with unrepentant people.]
Party Politics Insanity:
All of this nuttiness is worse and exacerbated in the #FakeMEDIA and politics.
DEMOCRAT INSANITY: We see the Biden Family flaunting apparently obvious crimes in our face … and Democrats act like it is just fine. We have all seen the pictures of Hunter Biden in an obvious “drugged up” state. It’s not normal and not acceptable in society.
REPUBLICAN INSANITY: But we also have Republican’s doing the same thing. Nationally we have the TRUMP Derangement Syndrome out of the likes of Mitt Romney, Dick Chaney, and so many others who can’t stop fixating on the man no matter what he does.
And locally we have the JEFF DAVIS Derangement Syndrome … when I have never been accused of a crime (to my knowledge), never interviewed by a police officer over an alleged crime … and certainly not arrested, jailed, prosecuted, or convicted of a crime … nor do I have any family member or close associate that I am aware of involved in any crimes or shady dealings.
All I do is push “real” school choice (Pass S 285, the PACE Scholarship Bill) … the Republican Platform … and teach people what is really going on in our political system that has SC rated the Most Liberal Red State in the Nation by our friends at CPAC (HERE).
LOCAL PARTY INSANITY: But locally in South Carolina we have it as well … and the two parties accept as OK and normal certain behavior and associations that would not be tolerated otherwise. I wouldn’t say much about it, but for the derangement some legislators and party gadflies make about it all.
I was done with it all when any elected official, party official, Christian, pastor … really ANYBODY … accepted the activities of my predecessor, former GCRP Chairman Nate Leupp (current SCGOP 4th District Chair). The 2021 ReOrg FRAUD is documented in a 13 page report (HERE) prepared by people that hate me … so you know it is bad. One opposition appointed committee member has a SLED Report a mile long and drunkenly assaulted me at a Congressman William Timmons’ event – documented in a filed a police report and a restraining order request against him.
The activities involving the ReOrg FRAUD physically occurred at MAJESTY MUSIC offices … the place of employment of Mr. Leupp, and run by the SC Freedom Caucus Chairman. There all all sorts of questions about Mr. Leupp, but when you combine it with his 1st Cousin being on the INTERPOL Most Wanted list for Possession & Distribution of Child Pornography … and then you connect Majesty Music to an international DRUG SMUGGLER. When everyone seems to know these things here in Greenville and are all “hush hush” about it … this truly is national insanity on a local level.
But watch … today certain people will call me the “bad guy” for speaking publicly about this … while these same folks cry about a 2008 … 15 years ago … bank investment of mine that went south.
Well, PASS “REAL” SCHOOL CHOICE and show you care about K-12 children with special needs … as opposed to your careers. That is what I’m sacrificing for … you?
But, don’t worry … we see things changing in the “good ole boy” State of South Carolina.
Just in the last week the Ron Rallis (see below) settled his divorce case involving Congressman William Timmons (R – SC, 4th District). Rallis appears to have gotten everything he wanted (custody of his daughter) in what avoided testimony by Congressman Timmons in the divorce case.
We also saw an Alex Murdaugh associated attorney Cory Fleming sentenced to almost 14 years (originally reported at 20 years) for his participation from a financial / documentation perspective. Federal Judge Richard Gergel only gave Cory 3 years … but the state court Judge Clifton Newman threw the book at him. That would not have happened 5 years ago.
Both Cory & Alex were 1994 classmates of mine at USC Law School … and as I tell people all the time, what was going on in Hampton County was not a secret to anyone … and not unique in our state. Put it this way … the same things (with a little twist) go on right here in Greenville County and I am sure nearly everywhere else in our State.
It has to STOP!!!
We are getting closer … but all this insanity has to be EXPOSED … and it has to STOP.
I give people chances all the time to come clean (even privately so as to avoid embarrassment) and start doing the right things. Most people decline … usually out of arrogance. But that all is changing. The insanity has reached a level where it is obvious to nearly EVERYONE. Ten charges of Criminal Sexual Conduct with a minor … and you are willing to show your face and feign outrage at a GCRP Special Meeting?!?!? Even if you were completely innocent, with those current charges outstanding normal people would be worried about something other than a Trespass Notice given to another political individual with a criminal drug background.
The above is not to dox people … and it frankly is just the TIP OF THE ICEBERG … so expect more as a necessary step in coming clean … but it is to serve as a continuing reminder that nothing is what is seems in politics … and to …
… TRUST NO ONE!!!
I really can’t wait for Good News Friday with Lawrence tomorrow, and a shower today.

Friends, if you are a MAGA America First STATE DELEGATE (or alternate) … register for the SCGOP (RINO) State Convention ASAP!!!
The deadline is Wednesday, April 30th at 11:59pm … but we have heard from delegates all across South Carolina that had no idea there was a registration deadline. Those delegates (coincidentally) all seem to be AGAINST current Chairman Drew McKissick. #FireDREW!!!
So … REGISTER ASAP … like right now … especially if you are “real” MAGA America First!!!
“The 2025 State Convention will be held on Saturday, May 3, 2025 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center, located on 1101 Lincoln Street, Columbia, SC 29201.”
“The Convention will gavel in at 11:00AM with credentialing beginning at 9:30AM.”
“Each Delegate will only be able to purchase ONE ticket per person.”
“We have a zero guest policy. Unless you are a State Delegate or State Alternate, you will be denied entry to State Convention.“
Be watchful and prepared as the Kingdom of God is near. Do not be afraid. Rejoice and be hopeful as God is true and certain and His promises are faithful and secure.
“He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.”
Luke 21:29-31
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), 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.
Jeff Davis on In Depth with Mason Sims – 4/24/2025 (HERE)
There is a lot going on in the way of discussion about (#1) the SC Senate’s Railroading of Treasure Curtis Loftis (or really the railroading of “US”) … & (#2) the SCGOP Convention on May 3rd.
Here is a quick live podcast video of Jeff Davis on In Depth with Mason Sims from last that we think you may enjoy.
Jeff Davis is co-founder of mySCGOP.com. Jeff is a ’89 graduate of The Citadel and in 1993 received his Law/MBAfrom USC. A tax attorney / CPA licensed in Georgia, Jeff is an uncompromised school choice advocate for K-12 children with special needs. Originally from Charleston, and having practiced in Atlanta, Jeff and his wife Olga now live in Greenville. Jeff completed his two year term as Greenville County Republican Party Chairman and is currently serving as GCRP State Executive Committeeman.
Jeff is also “barred” from attending the SCGOP State Executive Committee Meetings (HERE). Why? Because he dared to run against Drew McKissick for SCGOP Chairman – coming in 2nd with Drew only being reelected by 1.8% (HERE & HERE) – and in September 2021 he told the State Executive Committee that Chad Connelly had been under SLED investigation for a year and a half … and it was true (HERE & HERE).

There has been a lot of “talk” around about who can and who can’t run for SCGOP Chair … and especially about Rule 2(f). It is interesting watching people opine on what they think … but it is critical to look at the Rules themselves, as well as what lawyers would call the “legislative history” – why the Rule was put into place initially.
In way of background, know that the new (as of July 30, 2022) rule 2(f) came about at a Special Called State Convention to hammer through some nefarious rules to help protect DREW MCKISSICK and his leadership group.
It was obvious, but there was no way MAGA America First could STOP the rules changes at the time … and you might find interesting the delegates (as well as some of us members of the State Executive Committee) were not even provided the 2022 RULES CHANGES (HERE) or the 2022 RESOLUTIONS (HERE) until the day before the Saturday Convention … not provided until Friday July 29th, 2022, at 8:01am. Not much time to review.
Here is the new (as of 7/30/2022) Rule 2(f): “(f) All elections to a party office at all levels of organization shall be decided by a majority vote unless otherwise directed by the rules; all delegates shall be elected by plurality vote. Candidates must be a member of a precinct or convention body to be eligible for election by the body at each respective level. Candidates for party office above the precinct level, as well as for delegate to the State and National Conventions must have voted in at least two (2) of the three (3) most recent statewide Republican primaries, either in this or any previous state of residence, provided they were old enough to have done so.”
Here is the Rationale for Rule 2(f) as presented to all the voting delegates: “This clarifies that someone must be a member of a body in order for the other members of the body to elect them to any office, as well as establishing an objective minimum standard of support for the Republican Party in order to run for Party office or delegate positions to the state and/or national conventions.”
It is not complicated. If you are not a member of the SCGOP convention body, you are not eligible to be elected to any office at the SCGOP level.
So the only question for someone wanting to run for SCGOP Chair (or any other statewide officer position) … “are YOU a State Delegate?”
Whether we agree with the Rule or not … it is the Rule … find a way to comply.
Plus, our belief … if you can NOT win leadership in your own county GOP … or lead a “rebellion against the RINOs” in your own county to kick out the establishment … or simply get elected as a State Delegate (or Alternate?) … all by the people that know you best in your county … do you have any business running for SCGOP Chair? We don’ think so.Is that unreasonable?
——————-
[NOTE:Rule 2(f) was added on July 30, 2022, as was clearly meant to keep new folks out – first adding the Greenville 2 of 3 primaries rule … and second being a member of the body – to keep a “Lin Wood” out. We all knew it, and yes, it is another reason to #FireDREW!!!]
[NOTE:Are “alternates” members of the body? To date it has been assumed so … but be prepared even for that to be an issue someday … like all these Rules, they are not clear and can be interpreted however the establishment cabal wants to interpret them … when needed.]
Yesterday was 10 hours and 15 minutes of pure railroading of the most popular elected public official in the State of South Carolina … Treasurer Curtis Loftis.
At the end of the night, “our” SC State Senators voted 33 to 8 in favor of S 534 (HERE) … a Concurrent Resolution on the “removal” of Curtis Loftis.
But none of this had to do with Curtis Loftis … if had to do with YOU … with US.
If you watch the video you can tell the utter distain our SC State Senators have for US and our opinions. We had over 400 simultaneous viewers on our live stream yesterday … all furious about what they were witnessing. Many had never actually watched a video of the proceedings at the SC Statehouse … never seen what really happens in Chambers on the live feed. Well, now they have, and now they know exactly how bad it is.
We have watched this for just over 10 years in our School Choice battle. Yesterday was no different. The Senate had it’s mind made up BEFORE the proceedings started … and nothing was going to change the outcome. It was all about the MONEY … and their petty vendettas … it had nothing to do with what is right morally, ethically, or legally … it was all a show.
Anyone watching saw the terrible opening performance of Senators Grooms & Goldfinch. We then all witnessed the brilliant performance of Treasurer Loftis and his representatives / lawyers. Curtis and his TEAM laid out his case and we all thought it was over … slam dunk … Curtis was vindicated.
Then the rest of the Senators got their “10 minutes each of Q&A” … and it became obvious the outcome was predetermined.
The final vote was 33 to 8 (with 5 excused absences).
But even the 8 that voted in favor of Treasurer Loftis … they all sat there relatively silent knowing the “fix was in” … just like so many times in our school choice fight. It was a railroading because that is what THEY all wanted.
This was not about Curtis Loftis … this was about POWER, CONTROL, MONEY … and petty personal VENDETTAS … and now a lot more people have seen it first hand.
Let’s hope this is the “Shot Heard Round the WORLD” for South Carolina citizens to wake up to the problem which is our SC State Legislature – especially the SC Senate. Not some of them, not a few in leadership … not just the ones who voted against Curtis Loftis … but (sadly) every single one of them. Silence is compliance. Where was any elected SC Senator FIGHTING for Curtis Loftis … or US … yesterday? They were all responsible.
NOW … get ready and watch the #FakeNewsMedia and everyone else who “benefits” from getting rid of Curtis will start to pile on. Watch some (who have been shafting The People as well) try to reap some positive brownie points out of this to help ingratiate themselves with the grassroots as they claim outrage and try to come to Curtis’ defense. None of this is complicated once you see the mental manipulation that goes on in politics in general, and SC politics specifically.

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!
There is no greater comfort and no greater peace than to live under the covering of the Lord, to have someone here on earth to walk with through everything we face. There is no greater blessing.
May the meaning of Easter, the risen Lord, fill your heart with love, gratitude, compassion and hope.
Happy Easter!
