Massey Bucking for Governor … AGAIN?!?!?

Ambition > Common Sense?

Published

on

Last Tuesday we shared with you our initial thoughts on S244 … the “supposed” Tort (over) Reform bill being pushed by SC Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey … yes, the Senator from Edgefield who endorsed Nikki Haley against President TRUMP in the 2024 primaries.

See mySCGOP.news, 2/25/2025: HERE

Well … a lot has happened in a short time since then … and it get’s more interesting … and more educational!!!  Heck, we made a simple “tweet” on X.com sharing the article (HERE) and mentioning Senator Massey endorsing Nikki Haley … and we got a rather quick 36,000 views!!!  That is a fair amount … 


The day after our article and “tweet” … on February 26th … Senator Shane Massey, who is known to have rather thin skin, had a bit of an emotional TIRADE … literally showing up on the SC House Floor … and getting in the face of SC House Rep. Gil Gatch (R – Dorchester) … a fellow lawyer legislator.

Why?  Because Rep. Gatch made the following post accusing Senator Massey of being in the “pocket” of big insurance companies.  See exactly below … and note the reported EXPLETIVES by Massey.

And when the Post & Courier catches you cursing … it’s not good!!!

Nick Reynolds tweet – The Post & Courier:  HERE


Next, on the 27th, a poll was published showing that GOP Voters … who understand the impacts of S 244 on average citizens … overwhelmingly OPPOSE S244 … by 73% to 19% margin.  

It wasn’t a good week … for someone making BIG PROMISES to BIG MONEY DONORS / INSURANCE COMPANIES … and potentially looking to fill his coffers so as to test running for Governor … AGAIN?!?!?! 


You all may remember when Senator Massey was considering challenging Governor Henry McMaster in 2022 for governor … before he had a run in with famed defamation lawyer Lin Wood … and Senator Massey said he would not ask for a forensic audit of the 2020 election … and that he believed BIDEN WON in 2020?  It was an uncomfortable interaction … for MASSEY!

Watch June 24th, 2021 video HERE.

Yes … Senator Massey dropped out of the race for governor shortly thereafter as he had lost ALL “potential” support of anyone in the MAGA America FIRST movement … and certainly was not going to get TRUMP’s endorsement then (but maybe Nikki’s).  And no, WE have not forgotten.

NOT A GOOD THING:  As we were told recently about another “ladder climber” … when ambition is > talent (or common sense – have we mentioned Massey endorsed Nikki Haley against President TRUMP???) … it’s not a good thing.

But it does not appear Senator Massey is ready to call it quits on his ambition for “Governor” … and it appears his eyes are set on 2026 (per rumors we have heard) … but that takes MONEY … and lots of it … and who better than BIG INSURANCE to fill his coffers?!?!? 


We know Senator Massey very well from our fight for “real” School Choice … and we know he sold out the K-12 kids for the monied special interest and companies like CLASS WALLET (see video HERE) … who received a $4.2 MILLION contract (more than the kids) with Massey’s now failed / unconstitutional ESA legislation (HEREHERE & HERE).  

So we know firsthand that Shane Massey does not do anything for our SC Citizens … and especially the kids.  And after all the failures last week … even after MASSEY pulled $250,000 from the SC Senate Republican Caucus to fund an ad campaign for S 244 … something we hear that fellow Senate Republicans are not happy about … Senator MASSEY and the INSURANCE COMPANIES appear to have dialed it up even more … with $$$$ & favors.

(#1) First of all SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick sent out a desperate MASS email from the SCGOP supporting S244.  I am personally on the SCGOP State Executive Committee … for nearly 4 years now … and I don’t recall us voting on anything related to “Tort Reform”.  Who authorized (or paid) DREW MCKISSICK to do that???

(#2) Next, Senate Majority Leader Massey got S244 set for SPECIAL ORDER this week … so S244 skips to the front of the line … in front of all the other bills being debated.  The Senator appears to want to get this over the finish line in the SC Senate before people catch on.  A typical special interest trick!!!

(#3) And finally … apparently Massey has pulled the GOVERNOR “favor”.  Maybe since Massey did not run against Governor McMaster in 2022, a favor is owed … but it appears McMaster is going to step in an see if he can save S244 on Wednesday at 11AM.  We can’t wait to see this!!! 

TRUST NOTHING!!!  Seriously … do we trust anything Massey … Drew McKissick … Governor McMaster … or the SC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE … does???  And “where” is all this MONEY coming from to push this so called massive omnibus “Tort Reform” bill???  


SC Venue Crisis – DUPED, Again???:  HERE

Seriously … the really sad part is we ALL want to help the small business venues … and like in 2024 when they were led astray (I received tons of calls wanting us to help them … and YES, the SC Venue Crisis folks were being duped by all the wrong people back then) … it seems like they are being DUPED … and USED … again.


S 244 as we have already discussed is a massive and overly expansive piece of legislation.  It uses an untested nuclear bomb to kill a fly.  Ask yourself “why”, if legislators actually cared about our small venues, would you not just use a targeted bill to fix that one issue???  Why does it appear that the lawyer legislators … and insurance brokers … want such an expansive bill … and not just fix the one problem???


Hey, it will be interesting … and with the Governor weighting in … it is even more questionable than ever.


WHEN:  Wednesday, March 5th – 11:30am

WHERE:  SC Statehouse, 1100 Gervais Street, Columbia, SC  

WHAT:  Watch the Governor and Senator Massey … along with the SC Chamber of Commerce and other “grifters” … live and in person try to “sell” the Citizens of South Carolina on “Tort Reform”.

Are we buying it???

We will be chatting with our small venue friends … and we will ask them how those “promises” work out last time?  Fool me once, … 

Maybe find a targeted bill … not a massive bill where you are the target.  Learn from the School Choice experience.  10 years worth of lies from these same guys … and all they do is keep lying!!!

Words of Wisdom – Trust None of Them!

Especially the ones you like!

Published

Last week FITSNews put out an article about the SC Speaker of the House entitled Murrell Smith Has Lost His Ability To Lead”. (HERE).

Questioning the Speaker’s ability to lead was one thing (and we loved it) … but we found a quote in the article that “IF” all our MAGA America First friends would learn and truly understand, we would win this war with the RINOs … and Save America in the process.

Take a read … and maybe read it twice …  


Power, in an ideal world, is wielded by principled officials with the consent – and in the interests – of the governed. In reality, though, it is wielded by powerful special interests who use elected officials as their puppets. As a result, the goal of “governing” becomes advancing those special interests while doing just enough to fool just enough of the voters into believing you are still serving their interests.”

“The more the curtain is peeled back, though, the harder it becomes to keep the puppet show going… especially when the objectives of these special interests run completely counter to the will of the electorate.

– FITSNews 4/24/2025


Do you see it?  Do you realize that none of this world of politics is about the Will of The People?  Do you understand you can’t trust any of them … and as we would add, especially don’t trust the ones you like?  Didn’t we see this with what essentially every SC State Senator did to Treasurer Curtis Loftis on April 21st, 2025 … and their “railroading of US”?  (HERE

It is all about OVERSIGHT … by The People … by YOU … by US … and it takes calling out the “drift” to the center (or worse, to the left) we see with all good conservative elected officials … most within months of being elected.

Yes, WE are peeling back the curtain. WE are winning.  But learn to trust your gut, learn to question everything, and learn to trust nothing as is necessary!!!

WE The People win first by knowing what this “game” (as they see it) is really about … and secondly by knowing this applies to ALL elected officials … including the ones you like … especially the ones you like.  No one is immune.

If you will learn just that … WE can Save America.

SC Senate’s Railroading of “US”

Legislators have actual distain for their constituents.

Published

on

4/21/2025 YouTube Live Stream: HERE

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. 

More to come on this for sure … stay tuned.

We talked about South Carolina being rated the most liberal “Red State” in the Nation by CPAC, Lindsey Graham … Drew McKissick / Ronna McDaniel … School Choice & K-12 Education Failures in SC … and the fact South Carolina has the highest marginal tax rate in the entire southeast – and legislators lying to us about it!!!

Curtis Loftis Running for Re-Election in 2026!!!

Thank You Sir!!!

Published

on

FITSNews Video (4/1/2025): HERE

It may have been official before … but it is undeniable now … Treasurer Curtis Loftis is running for re-election!!!  We could not be more excited because Curtis is literally the most popular elected official in the State of South Carolina … and he is one of, if not “the” most honest.  If you want to know about the corruption going on in Columbia & with our State Government … listen to Curtis!!!

Here is just one quote from the FITSNews interview to explain it all – and quote that we could not agree with more (from our own personal experience):


If you stand up to the power structure, you’re going to get hit.

-Treasurer Curtis Loftis


And standing up to the power structure in Columbia is exactly what Curtis has done for the citizens of South Carolina since his inauguration on January 12th, 2011 … and like others that have stood up, Curtis has been beat up unmercifully over it.  

Literally, right now, certain SC State Senators (more on “who & why” later – but hint:  Larry Grooms & Stephen Goldfinch) are trying to pin a $1.8 BILLION accounting issue that has nothing to do with the Treasurer’s Office on Curtis.  It is utter insanity … and we wrote about it back on February 10th (see HERE) … but it is Columbia & South Carolina Politics (and corruption – that we are determined to keep EXPOSING!!!)


A huge THANK YOU from the grassroots activists to Treasurer Curtis Loftis for sticking it out for another term for the citizens and taxpayers of South Carolina.  We know you didn’t intend to run for another term … and would like to enjoy retirement … (like the rest of us!!!) …  but once you see the CORRUPTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA, how do you walk away?  Good men, like Curtis, can’t walk away.  Neither can we!!!
