It's a great day for South Carolina veterans! In just a moment, Governor Henry McMaster is expected to sign the Workforce Enhancement and Military Recognition Act into state law. This will exempt the retirement income of our military veterans from state taxes. Back in February, I led a joint statement in support of this effort with every member of the South Carolina delegation to… Read more »

🚨 This Supreme Court is the gift that keeps on giving. NEW this Monday morning... More good news just moments ago from the Supreme Court – this time concerning our religious liberties. The case in question centers around a football coach who was fired from his job for praying at mid-field after games. The Court has just ruled such action by the school was a clear violation of the… Read more »

🚨 MAJOR NEWS: The Supreme Court has just OVERTURNED Roe v. Wade! This will allow states to handle the issue themselves, ending more than 49 years of heartbreaking federal precedent. Today is a historic moment for our nation! The current case before the Supreme Court was from an abortionist in Mississippi that had sued over a state law banning abortions after 15 weeks. In today’s… Read more »

BREAKING: Huge win moments ago from the Supreme Court, which just issued a major ruling on the 2nd Amendment.  The Court struck down a New York state law that requires citizens show “proper cause” in order to apply for and receive a concealed carry permit.  That law has now been ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Essentially this decision says that you, as a private citizen, have a… Read more »

I’m sorry, but it’s just not possible (or healthy) for me to be on Facebook commenting on every bad policy coming out of this White House.  There are just too many of them. So when President Biden recently suggested a gas tax “holiday” for three months to combat the skyrocketing fuel prices caused by his energy policies, I thought surely that idea would be ignored as an unserious… Read more »

Let me be clear about the gun control legislation currently working its way through the Senate: I’ll be voting NO if & when this bill comes up for a vote in the House of Representatives soon. I don’t care who in the Senate is supporting it. The way this bill handles red-flag laws (among other things) is inappropriate and will NOT have my support. Many people ask me, “What will it… Read more »

Utterly heartbreaking news this morning. I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of Spartanburg County Sheriff's Deputy Austin Aldridge, who was on duty and responding to a domestic incident when he was ambushed and shot yesterday afternoon. Deputy Aldridge was rushed to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center for care, but tragically passed away last night. There are simply no words… Read more »

There’s only one job where you can get away with causing a massive crisis, denying you caused it, pretending to fix it but not really, and then trying to shift blame to anyone else but yourself. That job is being a Democrat president. Yesterday I took an earlier flight to D.C. to participate in a special hearing at the Heritage Foundation on inflation and skyrocketing energy prices… Read more »

Excellent ruling from the Supreme Court earlier today concerning religious schools. By a 6-3 margin, the justices determined that if states use public funds for private school tuition programs, those states could not exclude private religious schools from participating. That’s a mouthful, I know. Let’s unpack this a little… This particular case centered around a program in the state of… Read more »

Dads, there’s no ambiguity here. Scripture is very clear about the biblical role of a father. We are called upon to love, provide, lead, teach, and correct. All five of these directives have been laid squarely at our feet, with the most important being to love. We live in a society where the relevance of fathers is often marginalized. For evidence of that, you need look no further than… Read more »
