The UFC is Americana
Why does the left hate the UFC? The reasons are numerous, but they go along with the same reasons they hate America in the first place. They put on their display of some of the worst, most disingenuous “music” ever performed. (Compare that to the classy, methodic music we heard at the Turning Point USA halftime show during the Super Bowl.) To the chagrin of the left, the UFC had a great event on the White House Lawn on Flag Day during our great country’s 250th anniversary. They did whatever they could to stop it, since they hate fun, but fortunately, it was to no avail. They will take every opportunity possible to shun anything patriotic.
The UFC is Americana. It’s a sport that is not woke. They cannot control the messaging, and athletes are allowed to say what they want to say. The left can’t handle this, as they want to be able to control the narrative. Gay pride is not being celebrated (as pride in general ought not be celebrated). There are no race-dividing messages in the UFC, like the ones printed in the end zones of the NFL.
Elon Creates Wealth, the Left Can’t Stand It
Democrats are angry that people are being lifted out of poverty.
This goes back to what may be the biggest difference is between a liberal and a conservative. Liberals would rather pull you down from the top. Conservatives would rather lift you up from the bottom. This is something Rush Limbaugh used to preach. What Elon Musk is accomplishing goes against the left keeping their collective foot on the throat of the average American. When someone arises out of poverty, they can no longer be controlled by the government. That’s why their track record of people rising out of poverty is abysmal. They keep people where they can be controlled. It’s what the New Deal did back in the 1930s. Plenty of government funding, but nobody advancing their lot in life.

Fake Republicans Win Again
The establishment stranglehold in the state of South Carolina continues. Democrats disguised as Republicans continue to pull the wool over the eyes of millions. I’ve lived here for five years now, and been through three primaries (2022, 2024, and 2026). All three have been major disappointments. I’ve been involved with grass roots candidates in all of them, and I watched, as ignorance ruled the day each time. This state, full of conservatives, continues to go to the ballot box and put the closest thing to a Democrat with an R after their name in power. From state representatives (mine has a 24% conservative voting record) to House Representatives (Russell Fry was the least conservative candidate on the ballot when he first won in 2022), and now Senate and Gubernatorial candidates. Lindsey Graham, the warmongering, USAID loving, 43% conservative voter will have another six years (assuming he wins the general election) to tack on to his current 24. And for governor, with six candidates on the ballot, the worst two advanced to a runoff. Pamela Evette, the DEI queen, and Alan Wilson, the failed AG.
Why does this keep happening? There are some obvious reasons, and some not so obvious ones. The most obvious one, something this blog has harped upon, is the fact that President Trump, as much as we love him, makes the absolute worst endorsements. This generally happens nationwide, but especially in this state. He gets it wrong here every single time and gets behind the most corrupt swamp rats while claiming he will drain the swamp. Here in South Carolina, he is making the swamp much deeper.
The SC Primary - Let’s Send the Establishment Packing
The South Carolina primary is TOMORROW. Please get out and vote.
I’d like to express, one more time, that we South Carolinians live in a state where the people are conservative as they come, but the politicians who run it are not. There is a good ‘ol boy rino establishment grasp on power here, and that apple cart is threatened by the people moving down here. They will lie to you, telling you people coming from the northeast and other blue states are making this state bluer, and I have proven this to be a lie before. How is it possible that states like New York, as they elect outwardly communist mayors, are getting bluer, and the states they are moving to are trending in the same direction? It’s not. It’s impossible. One of them has to be going the other way, and it’s not New York or the rest of the northeast with the likes of Zohran Mamdani and Michell Wu running the show.
News flash - the establishment lies. People like me moving down here are making this state redder, not the other way around. This blog has been a bastion of principled stands against open primaries, voting machines, and non-partisan elections. These are all things the establishment hides behind, things that continue to allow them to thrive. They are threatened by most of us that are moving down here, as we are doing so for the right reasons.
