Legislative Update (3/17/2025)

Case Study … S244 … and what happened to School Choice?

Published

on

As we teach … pick a legislative topic, and go deep!!! Understand it from top to bottom … and follow the “bill” through the process.  That is the only way to figure all this “political” mess out.

Right now, two of the top legislative initiatives of the year are being completely held hostage … in the SC Senate.  First, the overwhelming desire of SC Citizens to HELP our small businesses suffering under the liquor liability issue.  Second, school choice and the utter debacle that these ESAs have become.

So what is going on? 


We have been following S244 as a case study … mainly because we knew just by the politicians involved it had a nefarious purpose (protect BIG INSURANCE) … and we knew it would be crystal clear that it was not about helping our small business establishments.

Well … it has been an interesting saga (HEREHEREHERE & HERE) … and we were right all along.

Now, the Senate Republican Majority Leader Senator Shane Massey (R – Edgefield) is sitting on S244 … reportedly “working votes” for his monied special interest bill … while the clock is ticking on anything to help small businesses.  

Nothing has happened … and the 2025 legislative session adjourns on May 8th … just 53 days from today.  

Meanwhile SC House bill H3497 (HERE) is sitting there, passed the House, reported out favorably from Senate Judiciary … yet Senator Massey won’t let it come up for a VOTE because he wants “his bill” S244.  

It is a total stalemate … and the loser is SC Small Business & The Citizens!!!

Do legislators care about anything except special interest MONEY?!?!?! 


BONUS CONTENT:   We were clued in this past weekend to a little provision in S244 which really proves our point that it is all about serving the BIG INSURANCE special interest.  This gets a little “legal” … but consider this example.

Dad gets killed and it is 1,000% undeniably the fault of the insured, a client of ALLSTATE (as an example).  It is an open & shut case … the deceased Dad’s family lawyer requests policy limits (which everyone agrees should be paid) … but guess what … the BIG INSURANCE company can wait 10 MONTHS to pay.  Why?  The family will get the money … it is not debatable … but the BIG INSURANCE can sit on the claim, earning interest on the cash in the bank … for a full 10 months!!!  The SOUTH CAROLINA family suffers needlessly … can’t pay for funeral expenses without taking out a loan … all while ALLSTATE (as the example) sits around and earns 5% interest keeping the money in their bank.

Seriously Senator Massey … why???

FYI … Tuesday, June 13th, 2028 – 1,185 days from today … will be the 2028 PRIMARIES.  Will Senator Massey have an opponent?  He did not have a challenger in the 2024 primaries … even though he endorsed NIKKI HALEY … and SC Citizens are suffering.  #FigureItOUT!!! 


This is the most atrocious legislative case study … it will literally go down in history as the legislation that cost more jobs & political careers in South Carolina than anything else … including past (& future) legislative criminal investigations.

First, know this fight has been going on since about 2003 … and SC, twenty-two years later, still has the nation’s worst rated school choice program.  Par for the course … but sooooooo many pockets have been lined with consulting payments & political donations.  The kids come last … if they are ever considered at all.

The monied special interest ESA (S62 – HERE) was RUSHED through the SC Senate … it went to the SC House and returned “changed” on February 27th … and now the SC Senate has no idea what to do because they have now (reportedly) figured out, as we told them, that no matter what they do it will be found UNCONSTITUTIONAL for the 4th time!!!

So the SC Senate is just sitting on it … having no idea what to do in order to satisfy their monied special interest donors. We have watched it for nearly 12 years now … it is all about the $$$!!!  #FollowTheMONEY!!!


CONCLUSION:  We now have two easy fixes for the SC Citizens.  The SC Senate could just pass H3497 and fix the liquor liability issue and SAVE OUR SMALL BUSINESS, but our legislators won’t do it.  And, the SC Senate & SC House could easily pass S50 / H3420 … the “constitutional” PACE / ACE Scholarship Bill we have followed for years … and all the kids would be taken care of before the end of this semester … without a lawsuit being filed by the opposition as the program is sooooo constitutional they would be laughed out of court.

Our guess is legislators won’t do it.  They know how to fix it … but they won’t because the solutions won’t benefit their monied special interest donors.

Now … what is your solution???  More popcorn???  Kids are suffering … Small Businesses are suffering … but let’s all be “friends” with the people responsible for the suffering.   DO YOU AGREE???

Let us know your thoughts … more popcorn, or more FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT???

the SC TRUMP AGENDA?

It is a quick 7 minutes and 46 seconds video … but if you want to hear someone tell it like it is here in South Carolina, listen to the below video from STEVE BANNON’s War Room this past Saturday.  

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!!!

SCGOP Chairman’s Race – The Crazy Has Begun!

Here we go again … lol

Published

on

mySCGOP.news (4/8/2023): HERE

Friends, we are 32 days out from the 2025 SCGOP State Convention. We know the date is May 3rd … we just do not know the time or location yet … but that is how the SCGOP under Drew McKissick operates … and that is why “normal” people all think we need a change in leadership. Yes, TRUMP fired  Drew McKissick in 2024 (HERE & HERE) – and so should South Carolina!!!

Now, many of you have started receiving the bi-annual “anonymous” emails (and you should expect anonymous mailers too – they spend serious money to keep their jobs and cronies in place).  This year the ANONYMOUS emails are from some greenvillefedup@proton.me email address claiming to be “The Committee to Expose Jeff Davis” … the key word ANONYMOUS!!!

It is cute … an “anonymous committee” that is so interested in saving DREW MCKISSICK & the SC Freedom Caucus … whoops, I mean they are trying to “save South Carolina & America” … who is so courageous (like our founding Fathers) that they have to remain anonymous.  Yes, note sarcasm!

Know one thing … no one doing the right thing has to remain anonymous … especially in politics.

Yes, it is the same political tactic used every two years at this time in ReOrg (2021, 2023 & now 2025) … (#1) anonymous emails / mailers sending a bunch of slanderous and defamatory information (in this case saying that I have committed crimes & FORGED documents – both actionable lies) & (#2) “reputable” RINOs forwarding it around like it is the gospel from CNN News.  Yes … just like #FakeNews CNN … and just like the mainstream media has done to conservatives … especially ones they fear, like President TRUMP.

Now … the key is to watch the people that forward it around … those are the people you have to watch out about.  What does the Bible say about people spreading rumors and lies???  😉 

The “smart” thing to do is IGNORE anything in politics from ANONYMOUS sources … we have said that forever … and stay FOCUSED ON MISSION!!!  All of this is purposeful distraction, ignore it … but, if you like, you can read about the lies from 2023 … mySCGOP.news (4/8/2023) HERE.


BONUS CONTENT:  What I do like about this year’s “first” anonymous hit piece … they actually accuse me of working with the RINO “establishment” down in Columbia to pass our SCHOOL CHOICE bill helping K-12 Children with Special Needs.  What this “committee” seems to have forgotten, it was the RINO “establishment” (Speaker Murrell Smith, Ways & Means Chairman Bruce Bannister, etc. – along with the SC Freedom Caucus) that KILLED our $55 MILLION “real” school choice bill.  Why would we be working with the people that killed our bill and have cost kids $165 MILLION and counting … not to mention the cost to South Carolina taxpayers???  

And, do note that “The (Anonymous) Committee” really goes hard after a good Christian Republican candidate up here in Greenville that ran against Representative ALAN MORGAN (R – Greenville) … you know, the Freedom Caucus brother of ADAM MORGAN.  Why would a hit piece on me go on and on about an opponent of ALAN MORGAN.  More on that later too.

Yes … we think the anonymous email is coming from the SC Freedom Caucus (or their employee / supporters) … it fits with their reputation of dirty politics they have up here in Greenville, SC (and now spreading across SC).


Real Name:  Kathleen C. Dipasquale

(Names she uses online to disguise her identity: Kasey Grado & Kathleen Christine)


And what I really like seeing is that from the other side of the “crazy train” … some people actually think and are spreading the rumor that we are working WITH the SC Freedom Caucus.  That all of this “fight” (which is hard to understand because if the Freedom Caucus is what they say they are, we would be working together) is some sort of “staged theater”.  

Does anyone really think ADAM MORGAN purposely lost his Congressional primary race (because we did not support him) last June 11th, 2024 (mySCGOP.news, July 11, 2024:  HERE) … and he lost A LOT of local people’s money (including a $275,000 personal loan to his campaign – that has not been paid back)… as some grander scheme to “keep WE THE PEOPLE at each others throats” so you all don’t realize that Jeff Davis & the SC Freedom Caucus are “pushing the same agenda”.

YES … I admit … Mrs. Dipasquale (aka Kasey Grado from Easley, SC) is correct in one part … I am pushing the agenda the SC Freedom Caucus “says” they are pushing … yes, SAYS (but isn’t really doing).  Remember, it is the SC Freedom Caucus that REFUSES to come to the table with us to work against the RINO establishment … and it is the SC Freedom Caucus that is pushing BIG GOV’T (faux) School Choice (#FollowTheMONEY) … and it is the SC Freedom Caucus that pushed through the Democrat Pre-K reading program FIRST STEPS into permanent law (2/16/2024 HERE & 6/20/2023 HERE) … and it is the SC Freedom Caucus who for the 3rd ReOrg in a row that is helping save the biggest RINO of them all, DREW MCKISSICK.

We want a hero … but in our assessment the RINO Establishment & the SC Freedom Caucus are two sides of the same coin.  (mySCGOP.news. 3/14/2025 HERE).  We won’t get out of this mess is we keep falling for the same old tricks.


Are we going to keep falling for these political tricks???  The same manipulative tricks that got our country in this mess in the first place???  Are we going to pay attention to “anonymous” emails … or known bad actors like the Kasey Grado’s of the world??? These people will never stop because they are typically political consultants and paid actors … they only need to impact 2% or 5% of the readers (in this case) to save DREW MCKISSICK’s butt at the May 3rd SCGOP State Convention.

Again, the “smart” thing to do is IGNORE anything in politics from (#1) ANONYMOUS sources, (#2) known known bad actors, (#3) people that refuse to come to the table for debate, or (#4) anyone that refused Radical Transparency. We have said this forever … its not complicated, but human nature is to focus on “drama”. IGNORE DRAMA!!! Stay FOCUSED ON MISSION!!!  All of this is purposeful distraction … if you listen to it, you let it win.


2025 SCGOP CHAIR RACE: Finally, the real irony in all this is that these attacks all mention me running for SCGOP Chairman … which I have said nothing about formally.  Am I the scariest candidate NOT in the race???  Probably so when the loudest opponent for DREW, who is being pushed by the SC Freedom Caucus to split the vote again and help DREW MCKISSICK get re-elected, is a former member of the occult (or was she a witch, I’ll have to check and write more later).  See HERE for a small sample of the crazy.

Again, the crazy is crazy … and it is actually much worse than you can imagine.

TRUMP “Endorses” Lindsey Graham?

Of course he did! Did anyone expect any different?

Published

on

See the TRUTH Social post HERE. Did anyone expect anything different?  Did anyone really expect President TRUMP to come out publicly against one of the most powerful US Senators – Chair of the Senate Budget Committee?  “Republicans” barely control the US Senate with 53 members … and that 53 is not dependable 24/7.  

Remember … it was Pete Hegseth (HERE) who’s confirmation needed a tie-breaking vote by Vice President JD Vance for him to become TRUMP’s US Secretary of Defense.

You simply can’t count on 100% of the “Republicans” in the US Senate to vote conservative or for the TRUMP Agenda.  

If you were President TRUMP and Lindsey asked you to endorse him now … what would you do?  Did you expect President TRUMP to say “NO”???  Of course he said yes … and I’d bet anything President TRUMP got whatever he wanted for the endorsement.

Plus … does TRUMP really need the distraction of an “at risk” Senator being taken out of the 53 US Senate majority?  Lindsey is a known entity … and TRUMP knows how to handle Lindsey.


If you want to take out Senator Lindsey Graham on June 9th, 2026, you need one of two things:

(#1) a currently viable candidates with $100 million in the bank (or the ability to raise that kind of money – at least $25 or $40 million) … or 

(#2) a currently viable opposition “Grassroots” organization to take Lindsey down from the inside in favor of a more reliable “Republican”.


And if you want to know the RINO talking points … just take a look at what Senator Graham’s long term (27 years – now retired) Senate Communications Director Kevin Bishop (HERE) had to say.

In many ways Mr. Bishop is completely right … but if he were that “right” about everything Mr. Bishop would not have come in 4th in the 2024 Republican Primary to replace outgoing US Congressman Jeff Duncan in the 3rd Congressional District (now held by Congresswoman Sheri Biggs – HERE). 

Kevin Bishop – X.com:  HERE


We would recommend staying tuned … this is not the end of the 2026 South Carolina US Senate race … it is only the beginning. 

And we may have knowledge of a few things in the works … 😉  


Countdown (as of 03/28/2025):

Tuesday, June 13th, 2028 – 1,173 (’28 PRIMARIES)

Tuesday, June 9th, 2026 – 438 days (’26 PRIMARIES!!!)

Saturday, Feb. 26, 2028 – 1,065 (est. ’28 Republican PPP)

The Ongoing Legislative Betrayals – S244

Legislators Keep Betraying The People

Published

on

South Carolina has a “Republican” supermajority … Republicans control the US House, the US Senate & the Presidency.  Why then can’t we get anything done in South Carolina???  Why not real school choice … real closed primaries … real judicial reform???

Why are legislators more interested in a “witch-hunt” against SC Treasurer Curtis Loftis … a darling of the grassroots and the most popular statewide elected official?  (See HERE).

Why can’t we get “simple” TORT REFORM that fixes a simple liquor liability issue that will SAVE OUR SMALL BUSINESSES???

South Carolina legislators are betraying The People … it has been ongoing for literally decades … and we are watching it right before our eyes with certain SC SENATORS’ desperate attempts to save S244 for BIG INSURANCE … and their failure to fix the liquor liability issue by simply passing H3497.

For years, South Carolina Senators have told us they support tort reform to help local businesses—bars, restaurants, and veterans’ halls—who are being crushed under the weight of skyrocketing liquor liability insurance rates. 

They’ve stood in front of microphones, held town halls, sent newsletters and campaign ads proclaiming: “We’re here to help small businesses.” “We just want targeted reform.” “We believe in Main Street values.” 

But last week, when they finally had the chance to prove it, they did the exact opposite.

(That Would Have Delivered)

Amendment 2A:  On Tuesday, March 18th the Senate Republican Leader Shane Massey (R – Edgefield) went back to the well in his endless attempts to save S244.  The session started at Noon … and went on until 10:20PM!!!

But it all went sideways for Massey again when Senator Stephen Goldfinch (R – Georgetown) offered a clear, focused solution:

  • A targeted amendment – to fix the liquor liability issue,
  • The text came straight from the unanimous House bill H3497,
  • And the amendment was designed solely to bring down insurance premiums for SC bars, restaurants, and VFWs – the root problem today.

There were no “gifts” for trial lawyer. No plaintiff windfalls. No poison pills. Just a simple clean fix to a specific problem that everyone—on both sides—agree needs to be addressed. 

But as is typical … the SC Senate blocked it. 

One more in a series of seemingly never ending BETRAYALS of their professed principals … and most assuredly a betrayal of The People & small businesses here in South Carolina. 

Yes … just let that sink in … one more betrayal!!!

These SC State Senators had the exact language they have all supposedly wanted for years. They had the political cover. They had the moral obligation …  

… and yet they killed it anyway.

You all know the story … “Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.”

It sounds just like what they have done on school choice … closed primaries … judicial reform.  No different than their “witch-hunt” against SC Treasurer Curtis Loftis.  It’s just what they do, and it seems never ending. 

The SC Senate does what is best for the SC Senate … not The People … and not Small Business (and certainly not K-12 kids with special needs as it relates to our school choice fight – more on that soon).


Why?  Easy.  Follow the Money. 

All of this & S244 was never really about helping small businesses. 

S244 is nothing more than an “omnibus” tort reform bill, is not about local bar owners or keeping VFWs afloat. It’s about one thing: immunity for the most powerful corporations in America … it is about BIG INSURANCE. 

The same Senators who claimed they were standing up for South Carolina businesses are now advancing a bill that: 

Shields out-of-state trucking companies when they injure or kill our citizens.

Helps chemical manufacturers who poisoned SC water with PFAS avoid accountability.

Lets global manufacturers escape full responsibility when their products fail.

Protects insurance companies who delay, deny, and defend valid claims to protect their profit margins.

This bill is a gold-plated gift to corporate America, carefully wrapped in “reform” language and sold to the public as something it’s not.

It just another part of the Legislative GRIFT that lines the pockets of legislators and their monied special interest … at the expense of the Citizens of South Carolina.

The ongoing legislative betrayal!!!
