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.
