We all have defining moments in our lives that shape who we become. This @GreenvilleNews article tells my story and the “why” behind my call to serve. greenvilleonline.com/story/n… – at Greenville, SC
Another reason Trump “forced” candidates performed poorly in GSP. We see first hand that international investment works for a better economy and tariffs are a tax on us.
Peter Navarro said something quite revealing on CNBC today about BMW's factory in South Carolina: "That doesn't work for America. It's bad for our economics, it's bad for our national security."
This piqued my interest. I grew up very close to that BMW facility -- the company's largest in the world -- and I watched it transform my state and region with more than $13 billion invested in since 1992, 11,000 jobs onsite at an 8 million square foot campus, $10+ billion in exports in 2023 alone, etc. One study put the annual economic impact of the plant at $27 billion. In a small state, these are absolutely game-changing numbers.
For all these reasons, BMW's investment has been hailed as a turning point in the state's economic history. Earlier this year, for example, Gov. Henry McMaster said this: "BMW's arrival in South Carolina over 30 years ago transformed our economy and global reputation." He's right. The investment was instrumental in helping the state transition from a textile-dependent economy for most of the 20th century to one with a vibrant advanced manufacturing industry today.
In light of all this, how in the world does Navarro conclude that BMW's investment "doesn't work for America"? I mean, even trade restrictionists have long praised this kind of inbound foreign direct investment in U.S. auto manufacturing. Not Navarro. He's setting a new bar: whatever benefits BMW has delivered are more than canceled out by the fact that it sources parts from a global supply chain. And this is the vision behind the new tariff agenda.

Alright, buckle up, long post. I live in a DEEP red rural area in SC. When I went to vote yesterday the line was out the door. Good sign?
No. These are older people on fixed incomes. Farmers. Blue-collar, southern, not a minority in sight.
The same people I’ve watched check their bank accounts before getting gas. The same people I’ve watched get five things at the grocery store instead of visiting the local diner on Sunday.
I voted straight R ticket. It took 60 seconds. Not my neighbors. Everyone was solemn. No one smiling. People who have spent decades voting straight ticket were standing in the booths for the entire allowed 5 minutes letting out their rage and desperation in the only way they feel their voice will be heard.
This result is not on them. It’s on the people who pissed down our backs and told us it was raining.

This administration and the GOP deserve everything it has coming Tuesday.
Q: I'm the President of TCU College Republicans. I voted for you. But haven't kept your promises, particularly 'No new Forever Wars.' Why should we trust Republicans with two more years?
Vance: Well, Trump won't let Iran become a Forever War. And if you take the whole suite of promises, I think we're doing a good job.

Hard to imagine GSP going for Andrews, but if yard signs are any indication, it is entirely possible.
Results from NYT/Siena SC poll in Greenville-Spartanburg region, where Darline Graham lost many counties to Ralph Norman in primary runoff:
#SCSEN: Annie Andrews (D) +2
#SCGOV: Alan Wilson (R) +15

Funny thing about this real estate market: the onsite agents are asking me about resale, and the resale agents are asking about sitting in a model home. Turns out the grass looks greener from both sides of the sales desk.
When you make laughable statements, you’re gonna get laughed at. Republicans have held two chambers in Congress and the Presidency for two years and you’re blaming Democrat regulations for gas prices? Own it and govern.
WATCH: Andy Harris has a crash out after his constituents laugh at him for trying to blame higher gas prices on... Democrats.

Man, I hate it that I agree with Chris Christie…
Christie: As a Republican, I sat here shaking my head at the political malpractice that was committed on this air with you by Tom Emmer.
Here is the Republican argument for the last three weeks:
1. It's OK to sell or to buy oil from a thug KGB dictator in Russia who will use it to kill free Ukrainians.
2. The American people don't get the fact that the economy is great. And so when they have to pay all they have to pay at the grocery store and at the gas station, they just don't get it.
3. It's OK to live stream a murder by the United States government executing on the death penalty.
Those are our three closing arguments to try to maintain our majorities in the House and Senate.
What you heard throughout it is… this absolute requirement that you must stand by everything Donald Trump says and does, if you want to remain in leadership in the House or the Senate.
