America 250 Should Be Celebrated By All
Tomorrow is Independence Day, the 250th birthday of this great country. The greatest country in the world. It should be a day where all Americans can celebrate the fact that they live where they do. A place with opportunity like no other. A place with freedom and liberty like no other.
But it will not be that day for many. Many still despise this place and are trying to fundamentally change it into something far less great. Patriotism is low in this country right now, and that can be traced directly to the left. Only about a quarter of them said they would display a flag on Independence Day. Compare that to close to three quarters of those who identify as conservative or Republican. Patriotism among those right of center remains consistently high regardless of who is in the Oval Office. It was 89% when Obama occupied it, and has stayed pretty consistent since. Liberals, on the other hand, only like the country when their guy is in charge. Democrats were proud of this country to the tune of 85% in 2013 (a figure I find very hard to believe), but those were different times. In 2023, with Biden still in the White House, it was 29%. And now? 14%. That’s it. And with the wave of Democratic Socialists coming in, that number will decline further, because there are precisely zero of them who love this place.
MAGA Supreme Court? Nope.
MAGA Supreme Court? I think not. If the likes of Amy Coney Barret, John Roberts, and Brett Kavanaugh are trying to stop the left from doxxing them, threatening them, and showing up at their houses, it’s not going to work. Capitulation never does. Take a page out of Clarence Thomas’s book, or Samuel Alito’s. The best two justices on the court. Those guys are not easily rattled.
Of course, if that is not the case, and the three rinos on the court actually think birthright citizenship is a good thing, I’d love to hear the explanation as to why. How does allowing foreigners to become full citizens not make it easier for a takeover within? What is the endgame? Ask yourself the question, “If the goal is to destroy the country, what would you do differently?” When it pertains to this decision, the answer is nothing. Ron DeSantis had a great take on this. He said the 14th Amendment’s purpose was to overturn the Dred Scott decision, which is true. The Supreme Court said Dred Scott was not a citizen because he was black and could not sue. Abraham Lincoln rejected this. Regardless of race, citizens are citizens. That was the point. “It was not to have people show up from China for two weeks, have babies, get them citizenship, and go back to China.” He also said the founders never intended for people to come in illegally, have a kid, and somehow that’s an American citizen as well. Couldn’t have said it better.

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.
