An F-35 jet went missing this week when its pilot was forced to eject over the skies of South Carolina. This mishap created an embarrassing situation for our Military. The Marines, with all of the sophisticated equipment of our Military, could not locate the downed jet and went to the public for help finding the wreckage.

South Carolina’s Proposed ‘Yankee Tax’ Looks Hinkey to Me …
Republicans in South Carolina (SC) have proposed a bill that adds $250.00 to the cost of vehicle registrations for people who move to the state. They claim it is meant to cover infrastructure costs (wear and tear), but I’m calling BS.
Democrats, Primaries, and Identity Politics
In a Concord Monitor Op-Ed published on July 5, 2021, I explained why the Democrats were likely to eschew New Hampshire’s First in the Nation (FITN) Primary due to identity politics.
It was an easy prediction.
The DNC Just Screwed the NH Dems and It’s Glorious
If you missed it, the Democrat National Committee is about to move its First in the Nation Presidential Primary out of New Hampshire and into South Carolina. New Hampshire’s primary would follow a week later on the same day as Nevada’s. But that’s not what’s going to happen.
Circuit Court: State’s Cannot Ban 18-Year Olds from Buying Handguns
This Fourth Circuit ruling will be heading to the US Supreme Court after a three-judge panel ruled that a 1968 law prohibiting adults under the age of 21 from buying firearms is unconstitutional.
Teams of Male Cyclists “Crush” the Females in Women’s Races
Mary Higgins, a former national champion cyclist, testified in support of a South Carolina bill to save women’s sports. In her testimony, she said:
BOOM! NINE MORE STATES Join Texas Lawsuit Against PA, MI, WI and GA For Unlawful General Election!

At the time of the posting, 8 states had joined the lawsuit; Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Missouri, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and South Dakota. As of now, NINE MORE STATES have … Read more

Report: Diebold “Agent” John Sununu Encouraged States to Buy “Untrustworthy” Accuvote Machines
I’m not sure what to make of this yet, but sharing it should generate enough outrage to shake a few things loose. According to this report from 2019, South Carolina had an AccuVote voting machine problem, and the equipment has ties to John Sununu.
Democrat Fakes her Own Assault and Kidnapping for Sympathy Votes – Gets Arrested Instead
Sabrina Belcher is a Democrat running for mayor of Sumter, South Carolina. In a desperate effort to attract (presumably) some sympathy votes she staged her own kidnapping, streamed to Facebook Live.
South Carolina: Biden Wins Big with Almost 50% of the Vote, Bernie Barely Qualifies
With 48+% of the vote, Joe Biden took the lead early and then ‘killed it’ in South Carolina. Not just a win but a Yuge win; he takes 33 delegates. Bernie Sanders barely qualified for delegates with 19%, gets 11 delegates. Tom Steyer, who placed third, only gathered 11% of the vote and zero delegates.
Prediction: Pete Buttigieg is Done! (Klobuchar too, with Warren not Far Behind)
Is Mayor Pete in a primary tailspin? After robbing Bernie of Iowa he appeared poised to take the role of Vanilla Obama (previously held by pasty white Robert Francis O’ Rourke – remember him?). But Pete was first loser in NH and second loser in Nevada where he barely qualified.
Hey NH – Joe Biden has “Left the Building!” He’s on his way to South Carolina
Buh-Bye Biden (that’s my new nickname for Quid Pro Joe) expects a lousy finish in the Granite State. He has left for warmer waters. That means he won’t even be here for his “victory” party tonight. And that sounds about right.
Trump Recruits Gowdy for Impeachment Defense
Trey Gowdy, former Congressman from South Carolina, will join the Trump impeachment defense team, according to reports. Gowdy rose to prominence during the Benghazi hearings, chairing the United States House Select Committee on Events Surrounding the 2012 Terrorist Attack in Benghazi. He did not run for reelection in 2018 in order to pursue a legal … Read more
Republican Mark Sanford Wants to Be President – Thinks Now Is the Time to Run
Mark Sanford is challenging Trump for the Republican nomination. But he has his work cut out for him. His own party isn’t holding a Republican primary in his home state of South Carolina.
David Brooks – strong American values are leading to “incredibly backward-looking campaign”
David Brooks is “the conservative columnist” for the New York Time (“NYT”); the adjective “Conservative” would never be used as a modifier to his name here in NH – and am most assuredly positive that my sentiment would be replicated with many others in other states. But even as he opines as a New Yorker, he is Beltway Republican through and through. In this column, he talks about how reporting on Prez campaigns has changed: used to hobnobbing with the candidates themselves, he now studies the people (you know, the ones that actually vote and to whom elections are not just an intellectual curiousity) that show up to the events to hear the candidates. Given that the “Johnny on the spot” report was from South Carolina, he also spent a fair amount of time critiquing the candidate.
But this is emblematic of what is wrong with the Republican Establishment:
I was also struck, as in New Hampshire and Iowa, by the mood of this year’s rallies. Republican audiences this year want a restoration. America once had strong values, they believe, but we have gone astray. We’ve got to go back and rediscover what we had. Heads nod enthusiastically every time a candidate touches this theme.
I agree with the sentiment, but it makes for an incredibly backward-looking campaign. I sometimes wonder if the Republican Party has become the receding roar of white America as it pines for a way of life that will never return.
Oh, so right he is – that “icky stuff”, the stuff that speaks of the heart,Values, is just so retro! Er, no, he’s dead nuts on wrong.
What If You Could Not Leave?
So is it any surprise that the unions and their pet government bureaucracy the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the epitome of the fox in the hen house, didn’t want Boeing to move any of its manufacturing from Washington State (where employees are forced to join unions), to South Carolina (where workers have actual rights.)
