Right-wing extremism is so uncommon that left-wing extremists have to fund it.

@zilch_abby @MarkLynchSC Aside from that, what has he done to get it passed? Nothing. Like always.

Wanna talk about what he did to subvert Trump and MAGA? Here’s one - month before 22 midterms, he pushes a nationwide abortion ban. Energized the left. Nice job… not.

[Rusty May @RustyMay14]

My man Lynch said it well

[Mark Lynch for U.S. Senate @MarkLynchSC]

@LindseyGrahamSC @realDonaldTrump Wow! 418 days after the House passed it, and you just happen to introduce this amendment 5 days before your primary?

What a coincidence!

South Carolina voters aren't falling for your games anymore!

[Rusty May @RustyMay14]

@MadMike118 @Gaudfada That’s a start

[Rusty May @RustyMay14]

@Gaudfada @MadMike118 So we want one term Senators then? Think 🤔🤔🤔

[Rusty May @RustyMay14]

@SCVotersCo @KurtzPriya49416 But Trump gonna need to find another patsy, SC tired of supplying the one he has now - isn’t MAGA unless Trump is involved.

[Jackie Terribile for SC Statehouse @JackieforSC]

One of the first pieces of advice Rep. David O'Neal gave me when I was elected was: "Make sure you request a suite with Thomas Beach." David had been Thomas's suitemate before me, and now I know exactly why.

@ThomasBeach is a veteran, husband, father, and one of the most principled conservatives in Columbia. He asks tough questions, isn't afraid to challenge the establishment, and always puts his constituents first.

His booming voice is famous around the House—whether he's calling roll or standing up on the floor to fight for conservative principles.

That's exactly why the establishment is spending money to try to replace him.

If you have friends or family in Anderson County, please encourage them to get out and vote for Thomas Beach. And if you're able, consider supporting his campaign. https://t.co/4OkfsG1GKh

South Carolina needs more conservatives like Thomas Beach, not fewer.

@ghostofgovspast @reddyforgov Actually, we should be looking at what works in other states. At least that’s how it should work - find who does it right and copy them.

[Rusty May @RustyMay14]

@JungleBall_2 You know those senators who sabotaged redistricting??? They are scared shitless of this ticket.

[Rusty May @RustyMay14]

@ghostofgovspast @reddyforgov Roads - Not the jurisdiction by itself, but the money too. That’s the issue, state not turning loose of the money and no county is gonna take responsibility without the money.

[Rusty May @RustyMay14]

@SCVotersCo True Timber, Inman SC… that’s the pick 👍🏻

[Rusty May @RustyMay14]

@JayforHouse85 @LauraLoomer @Sharpy5_MAGA @davidpascoesc To get that from Loomer we gonna need a go fund me 👍🏻

[Rusty May @RustyMay14]

@NickReaganLive5 He lost me with the way he reacted to the measles outbreak in his district. Pushed for changes to religious exemptions - not very “liberty first” of him. Especially if you look at the problem in an analytical manner. There were clues as to cause that he couldn’t/wouldn’t see.

[Mark Lynch for U.S. Senate @MarkLynchSC]

@LauraLoomer has been attacking David Pascoe for his statements about Joe Biden. Meanwhile she has said nothing about Lindsey Grahams overt praise of Biden and attacks on Donald Trump.

If supporting Joe Biden and attacking Donald Trump is @LauraLoomer litmus test why has she refused to attack the biggest traitor from the most red state in the country.

We can do so much better. Vote Mark Lynch on June 9th!

Clemson’s opponents have 18 combined players on this list.

Two former Clemson players are on this list.

Clemson has no current players on this list.

Consider the ROY bus fully gassed up. Ridiculous.

[Clemson Addict @Clemson_Addict]

@TX_Duck_810 I noticed you got the number of Oregon’s natties in your profile picture. Bless your heart.

[Rusty May @RustyMay14]

@LarryWilliamsTI Thank GOD!

[Rusty May @RustyMay14]

We saw how the light on fixing the 6th shined on some of our purple senators. In SC, not a single senator that opposed fixing the 6th is up for re-election. They are counting on people forgetting in ‘28.

Norman winning will keep the light shining on these RINOs.

[Jackie Terribile for SC Statehouse @JackieforSC]

I agree. But how do we fix it when the people holding the power are the same people benefiting from the system?

The legislature isn’t going to voluntarily give up power. It’s the same challenge with judicial reform. Too many lawyer-legislators have no interest in giving up their influence over selecting judges.

Nothing will change until we elect leaders who are willing to reform the system for the people, not protect their own interests. Until then, don’t expect those in power to willingly limit their own power.

The good news is that we can start changing that by electing more Freedom Caucus-aligned legislators and supporting the most conservative ticket for governor: @RalphNorman and @RepAdamMorgan. @SCFreedomCaucus

Let me ruin your June for a second.

Every year when National Gun Violence Awareness Month rolls around, the same people who have not read a single page of John Lott's 13,312-regression peer-reviewed study start posting pictures of children and demanding you feel responsible for deaths you did not cause and had nothing to do with.

So. Let us talk about children. Since they brought it up.

In 2006, the CDC recorded 642 accidental firearm deaths in the entire United States. For children under the age of ten — the number was 31. Thirteen under age five. Eighteen between five and nine.

Tragic? Absolutely. Every single one.

But here is the number that will not appear on a single "Orange Friday" awareness post: 80.

Eighty children under the age of five drown in bathtubs every year. Every. Single. Year.

ALMOST THREE TIMES as many children drown in bathtubs annually as die from ALL firearm accidents combined — including adults. And forty more drown in five-gallon water buckets. The kind you buy at Home Depot for $4.99.

I have given this information at talks and watched jaws drop, because people genuinely believe the number is in the thousands. They have been so thoroughly marinated in "gun violence awareness" content that their perception of actual risk is completely detached from reality. That is not an accident. That is the point of the campaign.

Where is Bathtub Awareness Month? Where is the congressional hearing on five-gallon bucket control? Where is the hashtag? Where are the orange ribbons for the children who drowned while their parents were in the next room?

There are none. Because the campaign was never about children. It was never about safety. If it were about safety, they would be equally outraged about cars — which killed 1,305 children that same year. Or fire. Or drowning. But they are not. The selective fury lands exclusively on firearms. And if you are a scientist, which I happen to be, you do not get to cherry-pick your data based on which conclusion you prefer. Quinn's Law Number Six: facts are the enemy of liberalism.

Now let us talk about what the actual data says about guns and safety, because John Lott ran 13,000-plus statistical regressions across every county in America and the results are not ambiguous.

Fifty-six percent of convicted felons surveyed in a ten-state study said they would NOT attack a target they believed was armed. Fifty-six percent. The deterrence is real, it is documented, and it functions whether or not a shot is ever fired. The firearm you carry protects your neighbor whether your neighbor knows it or not.

When states passed right-to-carry laws, multiple-victim public shootings — what the media insists on calling "mass shootings" to maximize terror — dropped by 67 percent. Deaths in those events dropped by 75 percent. Injuries by 81 percent. States that adopted these laws virtually ELIMINATED mass public shootings within four to five years. The remaining events? They happened almost exclusively in the specific locations where guns remained banned. The gun-free zones. The places we hang the sign that only the law-abiding ever read.

There were between 760,000 and 3.6 million defensive gun uses in the United States last year alone, depending on which of fifteen national polls you consult. A JAMA Network Open study from March 2025 estimated 489,000 DGUs in which a firearm was actually discharged. The Department of Justice's own National Crime Victimization Survey puts the conservative floor at 65,000 defensive uses per year against assaults, robberies, and home invasions.

No dead body. No coverage. No awareness month.

Here is one more number for you: 74. Seventy-four percent of convicted felons in a National Institute of Justice survey said they actively avoided homes they believed were occupied by armed residents. Criminals respond to incentives. That is not ideology — that is basic deterrence theory, and it is confirmed by the people who actually commit the crimes.

I also want you to think carefully about something the Supreme Court already settled. DeShaney v. Winnebago County (1989). Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005). Two separate rulings establishing that the government has NO legal obligation to protect you as an individual. None. You are your own first responder. That is not my opinion — that is settled constitutional law from the highest court in this country.

So the political class that just told you the government is not required to protect you... is also the one demanding you surrender the tool you use to protect yourself.

I want fewer people dead. That is why I know the data. That is why I read the book. That is why I am furious every June when emotion and fundraising replace science and evidence in a "debate" that has actual life-or-death consequences for real people.

You want to honor the children? Honor ALL of them. The ones who drowned. The ones who died in car crashes. And the ones who will never be born because a woman alone in her house at 2 a.m. had no way to stop what was coming through her door.

But what do I know — I am only a published textbook author, a science teacher, a father of four, and a combat medic who spent his career reducing human suffering and who actually read the peer-reviewed data before forming an opinion.
