Education
Ron DeSantis & SC School Choice Failure?
If this is they type of “leaders” Ron DeSantis surrounds himself with?
SC School Choice UPDATE: Well … it looks like we are going to have some significant updates on School Choice in the coming weeks.
Unfortunately for K-12 children, School Choice specifically, and education generally, is the “example” (out of hundreds) we know best of political corruption in South Carolina … and it amazes people as to the massive levels that exist.
It only took the submission of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request two weeks ago … but we finally found out exactly how bad the government run SC School Choice program for K-12 kids with special needs (misnamed “Exceptional SC”) was performing.
After 5 months of tax credit fundraising … as of May 31st the 100% government appointed board has only raised $127,129 (out of an available $12 MILLION) in scholarship funds in 2023. Even we were floored how bad it was.
The similar, but free-market / independent non-profit administered program in Georgia, raised $120 MILLION (out of an available $120 million) in scholarship funds for Georgia kids … in just the first 13 days in 2023.
This is literally the case study of why free-markets work … and 100% government solutions FAIL.
We have reached out to the board members of “Exceptional SC” offering help … with no real success as of yet.
- Randy Page: SC Director of pro-Ron DeSantis Never Back Down PAC
- Spencer Jordan: Head of SC Independent School Association (SCISA)
- Edward Earwood: Head of SC Association of Christian Schools (SCACS)
- Betsy Fanning: Head of Trident Academy, Mt. Pleasant
When reached by phone, board member Betsy Fanning, who is the Head of School at Trident Academy, simply stated that any discussion or acceptance of help was the decision of Edward Earwood as Chairman of “Exceptional SC”.
[NOTE: Trident Academy specializes in children with dyslexia and costs $32,975 per year, so wouldn’t an $11,000 scholarship be of great help to these families?]
A call to Chairman Earwood with the SC Association of Christian Schools was not immediately returned.
We did receive a returned phone call from the Director of the pro-Ron DeSantis Never Back Down PAC … who stated he was not interested in discussing any help … and promptly “backed down”, and hung up.
Much more to come, but we have a crisis in SC School choice and something needs to change … ASAP.
Why does the DeSantis connection matter? As we know, many campaign “leaders”, if their candidate is successful, end up in government leadership & administration policy positions in the future.
If this is they type of “leaders” Ron DeSantis surrounds himself with … “leaders” that actually DO BACK DOWN … we have a real problem for K-12 kids not just in SC … but nationwide.
This is not just a random staff member … this is the actual SC State Director for the Ron DeSantis PAC.
Developing story …
WAR ROOM – Part I – April 12th (HERE)
WAR ROOM – Part II – April 15th (HERE)
It was a clean sweep for the MAGA America First contingent at the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) Convention on Monday April 14th … with Jeff Davis (Chairman), Yvonne Julian (State EC) & Mike Voaden (1st Vice Chair) all winning by acclimation … and the MAGA America First slate of 90 State Delegates & all 90 State Alternates won in a landslide vote.
It could not have been a more textbook operation …
We will have the convention video posted later today … to include keynote speaker Steve Bannon of War Room, State Treasurer Curtis Loftis, Congresswoman Nancy Mace & WORD Host Bill Frady. Stay tuned …
However we do have the video from Jeff Davis’ follow-up appearance on WAR ROOM with Steve Bannon Tuesday morning following the GCRP Convention. (See both videos below.)
The Precinct Strategy
Dan Schultz’s Precinct Strategy works … and Greenville County is one of the prime national examples of how to make it work. Now we just need to DO IT in all 46 counties in South Carolina … and all 3,144 counties in the United States.
MAGA DREAMS BIG!!!
This is everything mySCGOP is about!!! We have taught the Precinct Strategy ever since rolling out on January 21st, 2021 … the day after BIDEN was inaugurated … to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT back when it was the darkest days of the MAGA America First movement.
And ask yourself, “who” doesn’t like mySCGOP? RINOs maybe? Folks that do not want to be held accountable for their actions?
It is all very simple to see “who is who” … just watch “who” trashes mySCGOP on social media … or “who” cowers away from associating with mySCGOP … and that is your answer.

WAR R0OM &
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!!!
The MAGA America First TRUMP agenda has skipped over South Carolina … and we need to clean it up down to the precinct roots – all 2,307 PRECINCTS!!! It’s time to completely start over with any elected officials that do not want to get on board the TRUMP TRAIN for real … and the countdown is below.

Get’ta Steppin Podcast with Jeff Davis – 4/3/2025 (HERE)
We had a great time with the gentlemen from Freedoms Fence-Line (HERE) & the Get’ta Steppin Podcast (HERE) last night. It was two hours of discussion in northern Spartanburg County, specifically Campabello, about “Jeff Davis”, Closed Primaries, Lobbyist, School Choice, the Newberry Lawsuit … how we fix this political mess we have in South Carolina (#NeverSURRENDER!!!) … the state of the SCGOP / Drew McKissick and a couple points about Drew’s mentor CHAD CONNELLY and how nobody has paid back the missing $275,406 misappropriated from K-12 children with special needs.
“Where is the $275,406 Attorney General Alan Wilson? “
-Jeff Davis

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!!!)
Thank You Curtis Loftis!!!
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!!!
Thank you sir for not walking away!!!
