Friends, the term “Radical Transparency” is being used a lot in Washington DC and with D.O.G.E. right now … and people are loving it.  That is fantastic as we have been preaching it for years.

To us … radical transparency is a LITMUS TEST issue.  If your elected official won’t meet … they are not to be trusted … and should be primaried … PERIOD!!!

Now, I am not saying they have to meet with every crazy and “unstable” guy off the street that wants to get together and hear themselves talk about the same thing … 5 days a week … but if you are an “honest broker” looking to ask questions … especially hard questions … of your elected “leader” and they are not willing / able to meet in a timely manner … the general rule (99% of the time) they are HIDING SOMETHING!!!

Elected Officials … in order to be an “elected official” that The People are willing to accept .. must practice RADICAL TRANSPARENCY … and more importantly we must DEMAND IT!!!

We do not need to keep falling for their tricks … DEMAND RADICAL TRANSPARENCY!!!

My Story = Your Story

And don’t think it is just you … I personally have been in elected leadership of the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) for 4 years now … 2 years as Chairman and 2 years as the State Executive Committeeman.  At this stage, I really know what is going on (although we learn more every day) … I have really HARD questions to ask our elected officials … and I was elected to ask those questions.  

And, there are certain elected officials who won’t meet with me (like the SC Freedom Caucus, Drew McKissick, and a bunch of RINOs) who obviously have something to hide … and fortunately there are quite a few that will meet, answer the tough questions, and often change course when they hear our perspective. 

But for the ones that won’t meet … that is OK.  If I was doing bad things and trying to hide it, I would not want to meet with me either … just like the DOGE “targets” that don’t want to explain themselves to Elon Musk or Donald TRUMP.

[NOTE:  And know too … it is not just me.  I know many an elected official that say other elected officials won’t meet with them either.  It is everywhere … and they know which ones are BAD and doing corrupt things.  And guess what, like with the DOGE “targets”, the bad people here in South Carolina that won’t meet are simply SELF IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES … so to me it is a good thing!!!]

Everyone wants DOGE South Carolina … we do too … but guess what, you already have it.  You are DOGE, we are DOGE … and anyone who won’t meet, needs to be DOGE’d (aka Primaried) next June 9th, 2026.

It all starts with a simple question to your elected official … “will you meet” … and if they do meet,  don’t be DUPED.  lol  Do your homework and be prepared … call us for tips … and we will happily JOIN YOU … and as we always teach, remember to TRUST NOTHING & verify everything … even what we tell you!!! (mySCGOP.news, 12/09/2024:  HERE).

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 …

Massey “Loses It” at State House!

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

The POLL …

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?!?!?!

Massey’s Previous

Failed Governor Consideration

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?!?!? 

---

Massey Dials It Up!!!

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 (HERE, HERE & 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???  

---

Massey dupes the SC Venue Crisis Folks???

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.

---

Join Us!!!

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!!!

#FollowTheAmbition!!!

Jan 19th, 2024 mySCGOP Article:  HERE

A few months ago we introduced you all to the every FOUR YEAR SCGOP Congressional & State Conventions held prior to the RNC NATIONAL CONVENTION where we will select the GOP Presidential Candidate (HERE).

With South Carolina leading the way … we know that the GOP nominee will be President TRUMP … but very few people seem to know about these upcoming Congressional Conventions or the State Convention.

South Carolina has 50 National Delegates & 50 National Alternates to send to the RNC National Convention this year in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from Monday, July 15th, 2024 – Thursday, July 18th, 2024.

Well … now we know the dates and times for selecting those 50 NATIONAL DELEGATES & 50 NATIONAL ALTERNATES … and EVERYONE who is a MAGA / America FIRST state delegate or state alternate should attend!!! Your attendance is “mandatory” if for no other reason than to “learn” about the process … but to also support your America FIRST candidates for the available positions. #VoteAmericaFIRST!!!

Do you really want Nikki Haley supporters going to the RNC National Convention? Hmmm … think about it.

SAVE THE DATE – Saturday May 4th

We don’t know the location or time yet … but we do know the STATE CONVENTION will be on Saturday, May 4th, 2024 … presumably somewhere central in the midlands / Columbia / Lexington area.  It will be BIG and like the state convention last May 2023 with 943 STATE DELEGATES & 943 STATE ALTERNATES eligible to attend.

At the convention we will elect the remaining 29 NATIONAL DELEGATES & 29 NATIONAL ALTERNATES.

The 2nd reason to show up for the STATE CONVENTION … we have heard that Drew McKissick and the RINO Establishment want to push through more “Rule Changes”.  They did this to slow down the America FIRST movement with their “Special Called Convention” on July 30th, 2022 … let’s see what tricks they may have in store for us this May 4th, 2024.

The RINOs don’t have the numbers now like they did in 2022 … but we have to SHOW UP!!!

Monday March 25th, 2024, will go down in history as a really, really, really GOOD DAY for President TRUMP!!!

First, a New York Appeals Court lowered the insane $454 million court bond payment to appeal the New York AG’s case to an equally insane, but manageable, $175 million bond.  That reduction as well as an extension of 10 days appears to be enough grace for President TRUMP to fulfill the obligation and preserve his properties in the State of New York.

DC_Draino (HERE) had the best meme of the day …

Truth Social goes PUBLIC!!!

• $4 BILLION!!!

But the YUGE news for President TRUMP from March 25th, 2024, is finally … TRUTH Social will be a publicly traded company … and the stock symbol … get ready for it … DJT!!! You can’t make this up either!!!

The government approval / administrative process which should have taken 3 or 4 months … took TRUTH Social nearly 2 years. No, you really can’t make this up either, and yes this is happening in America, in our Republic.

But as with most bad deed … the finalization of the technical merger to allow TRUTH Social to become a publicly traded company could not have come at a better time as he seemingly solidifies his position for the 2024 November election.

Now with public valuation data, TRUMP’s personal net worth skyrocketed by $4 BILLION sending him onto the Bloomberg 500 wealthiest list for the first time ever … and that is before the 43% stock price increase so far today on the first day of trading.

Good things happen to good people … so keep fighting folks!

SC Ethics Commission – SEI: HERE

This week we have learned how to “track” candidates (HERE) and how much it costs to file to run for office (HERE)! Today, let’s review the Candidate Filings.

Statement of Economic Interests (SEI)

The general idea of the Statement of Economic Interests is as stated, to disclose the candidate’s or elected official’s “economic” or financial interest. Read more about it HERE and in the mySCGOP article below … and have fun looking up the SEI of your favorite politicians!

Candidates Part I – Statement of Economic Interests (SEI)

Campaign Finance Disclosures
Campaign Finance Disclosures (initial, quarterly, pre-election & final) are for reporting the donations and expenditures of candidate’s campaign account. Remember – if you intend to spend any money on your campaign, you will need to open a separate campaign bank account – you cannot use your personal one!

As with any filing, there are deadlines on the Campaign Finance Disclosures that is YOUR responsibility to follow. For State and Local 

candidate campaign filings you would go to https://ethics.sc.gov/  to file while for Federal positions (US House & Senate), you would got to https://www.fec.gov/.
For more details click HERE or the mySCGOP article below.
