Four Short Topics
The fragile little ego belonging to one Barack Hussein Obama was on display after President Trump finally made a deal with Iran. Obama had to make the rounds to disparage Trump’s deal, since he had a different deal he claims was better. Well, it wasn’t. Obama’s deal was basically, “Let’s trust them, they will play nice. And here, here’s a great deal of money so you can fund terror.” If this deal was so good and they were not a world threat, President Trump would not have had to deal with them again. Now, their navy is at the bottom of the sea, the rest of their military is decimated, we took out their murderous leader, and they are down to about their seventh string. And they can’t have a nuclear program. Many are not happy with how long the conflict lasted or the temporary inflation it led to, and that is understandable. But to say the Obama deal of appeasement was better is lunacy.

CNN felt the need to send an investigative reporter out to check the algae levels of the reflecting pool of the Lincoln Memorial. This story is actually pretty amazing because it shows exactly why the mainstream media is no longer trusted, and is full of lies in general. This is what was important to CNN. The reflecting pool was leaking 45,000 gallons of water a day. President Trump fixed it. That’s all the story that’s needed. But no, CNN decided to put Trump under a microscope, as they always do, on something as minor and unimportant as this. They did not send one investigative report to the Quality Learing Center, or to Los Angeles to investigate nursing home fraud. But this required investigative journalism. A pool that nobody swims in needed to have the algae tested. When it looked like garbage during the Biden and Obama administrations, they had nothing to say. CNN and the rest of the MSM are a joke.
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.

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.
