Reader, aspiring novelist, Keto fan. Before May 30, 2024, I didn't post political items. Now I've leapt into the fray.

Wonderful crowd at SC‘s Proudly Pro-Life Weekend. I heard Raymond Arroyo at the dinner Friday night and marched with hundreds of others to the State House Rally. I wrote about it too (link below in next post)

South Carolina Spin, SCGOP’s latest press release is pure cope.
Drew McKissick and the party just spent days trying to unilaterally kick a candidate off the ballot under a brand-new, selectively enforced rule they cooked up, lost in circuit court for applying it in an “arbitrary and capricious” fashion, then ran to the Supreme Court and got told “no, leave him on the ballot because early voting already started and you’re creating a mess.”
And their response? “This wasn’t a ruling on the merits… we remain confident in our authority.”
Of course it wasn’t a full merits ruling, you made sure the timeline was so compressed after Graham’s death that the courts had to prioritize avoiding voter chaos over fully gutting your gatekeeping scheme right now. That doesn’t make the underlying conduct look any better. It makes it look worse.
You passed a rule requiring candidates to have voted in “two of the last three” statewide GOP primaries, then decided a primary plus runoff somehow only counts as one cycle when it’s inconvenient for the wrong person, while looking the other way for preferred candidates.
A judge called the inconsistency out. Grassroots Republicans noticed. And now the party’s public posture is “we still get to decide who is allowed to run as a Republican, courts be damned.”
This isn’t defending party rules. It’s the establishment trying to keep the primary a managed process instead of an actual contest.
If your rules only work when applied unevenly and collapse under scrutiny the moment a non-favorite challenges them, they’re not rules, they’re tools.
Keep spinning. Voters can still see who tried to shrink the ballot and who had to be ordered by a court to stop.

Steventhen Holland was conceived in rape.

His life still has value.

Steventhen’s birth mother functioned as an 11-year-old intellectually. At age 18, she was raped by five men. She had no money, no job, no resources and, she didn’t tell anyone what had happened to her.

When mental facility employees noticed that she was pregnant, they pressured her to abort her baby.

She refused, ran away, and became homeless.

“Despite what everybody else thought — and they thought that I wasn’t worthy, she did."

Years later, Steventhen got to meet his birth mother, Glenda Sue.

Watch what happens when she finds out who he is ⤵️

A carpenter who helped restore Notre-Dame after the devastating 2019 fire was granted permission to marry inside the cathedral, becoming part of its first wedding ceremony in 30 years.

A remarkable exception was made when 29-year-old master carpenter Martin Lorentz was allowed to marry his fiancée, Jade, inside Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. Lorentz had spent three years hand-carving the massive oak beams used to rebuild “the Forest”—the cathedral’s intricate medieval roof structure, which was destroyed in the devastating 2019 fire. Because Notre-Dame is classified as a national monument rather than a parish church, private weddings have been prohibited for decades, making theirs the first ceremony held there since 1995.

In recognition of Lorentz’s dedication to the cathedral’s restoration, Archbishop Laurent Ulrich personally granted the rare permission. Around 500 guests attended the ceremony, including family, friends, and many of the craftsmen who helped bring Notre-Dame back to life. As the newlyweds left the cathedral, Lorentz’s fellow carpenters formed a traditional guard of honor, raising their axes overhead in a moving tribute to the man who helped rebuild one of France’s most treasured landmarks.

Mark Sanford has pulled up to the statehouse with a pig in tow.

Basically every reporter in the city (and some statehouse employees) are here.

One pig not loving it. (He's better now)

@cstegmaier Man, that is bitter. It’s always a nice entrance to downtown. (And you know unless the Mayor leans on someone, it’ll take forever to fix.)
