The SC State Seal
Dum Spiro Spero
Yesterday we introduced you to the revolutionary organizational concept of ZONES & PRECINCT ELECTION-ZONES. (HERE). It is some “heavy” stuff to learn and process .. but it is groundbreaking stuff as well. #LearnIT!!!
So today we have an easy lesson … let’s introduce you to the SC State Seal.
THE SC STATE SEAL:
On March 26, 1776, the Provincial Congress of South Carolina set up an independent government, electing John Rutledge, President.
On April 2, 1776, the President and Privy Council were authorized by Resolution of the General Assembly “to design and cause to be made a Great Seal of South Carolina.”
The principal designers were William Henry Drayton and Arthur Middleton.
President Rutledge used the Seal (HERE & HERE) for the first time on May 22, 1777.
The current seal is made up of two elliptical areas, linked by branches of the palmetto tree.
The left oval is dominated by a tall palmetto tree with a fallen and broken oak tree at the base. This scene represents the battle fought on June 28, 1776, between defenders of the unfinished fort on Sullivan’s Island, and the British Fleet. The standing palmetto represents the victorious defenders, and the fallen oak is the British Fleet. Banded together on the palmetto with the motto Quis separabit? (“Who will separate [us]?”), are 12 spears that represent the other original 12 states of the Union. Beneath that is enscrolled another of the alternate state mottoes, “Meliorem Lapsa Locavit” (“Having Fallen, She Has Set Up a Better One”) with the date of 1776. Surrounding the image, at the top, is “South Carolina”, and below, is Animis opibusque parati (“Prepared in mind and resources”).
The right oval on the seal depicts the Roman goddess Spes (Latin for “Hope”) walking on the beach littered with weapons at dawn. The goddess grasps a branch of laurel as the sun rises behind her. Below her image is her name, Spes, and over the image is the motto Dum spiro spero, meaning “While I breathe, I hope”.
TWO (2) SC STATE MOTTOS:
South Carolina has two mottos surround the two ovals.
On the left is “Animis Opibusque Parati”, meaning Prepared in Mind and Resources.
On the right, “Dum Spiro Spero”, meaning While I Breathe I Hope.
PRIOR VERSIONS OF THE SEAL:
Old State Seal: The above clear image is not the first version of the seal. Below is a copy of one of the first seals of South Carolina as it appeared on March 28, 1785 in the nameplate of the State Gazette of South Carolina, a Charleston newspaper. The paper was published by Ann Timothy, the state’s printer.
Hope you enjoyed this little South Carolina history break.
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.
#IamSpartacus!!!
#HoldTheLINE!!!
#BeMySCGOP!!!

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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR …
Jeff Davis is co-founder of mySCGOP.com. Jeff is a ’89 graduate of The Citadel and in 1993 received his Law/MBA from USC. A tax attorney / CPA licensed in Georgia, Jeff is an uncompromised school choice advocate for K-12 children with special needs.

Jeff completed his two year term as Greenville County Republican Party Chairman and is currently serving as GCRP State Executive Committeeman.
Jeff is also “barred” from attending the SCGOP State Executive Committee Meetings (HERE). Why?

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!!!
