JUST IN: General "Raizin" Caine gives a detailed breakdown of the U.S. attack on Venezuela, says they were so detailed that they knew what Maduro ate and where his pets were.
- 150 aircraft involved.
- U.S. forces arrived at Maduro's compound at 1;01 a.m.
- Helicopters came under fire, but "replied with that fire with overwhelming force and self-defense."
- Maduro and his wife gave up and were taken into custody.
- The youngest crew member was 20, and the oldest crew member was 49.
- Preparation took several months.
- "Those in the air over Caracas last night were willing to give their lives for those on the ground and in the helicopters."
- "After months of work by our intelligence teammates to find Maduro and understand how he moved, where he lived, where he traveled, what he ate, what he wore, what were his pets..."
- The weather was just clear enough for the mission so aviators could operate.
- All U.S. soldiers are safe.
Congratulations to Bellview Baptist Church on celebrating 125 years of faithful service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to the Laurens community! I was honored to present a House Resolution—unanimously adopted by the South Carolina House of Representatives—to Pastor Darren Rood in recognition of this remarkable milestone.
I was out shopping with my wife and child when I witnessed a troubling scene. I saw a young boy, maybe 10 years old, absolutely ecstatic over a display for Taylor Swift’s new—and vulgar—album, The Life of a Showgirl.
It stopped me in my tracks.
The Life of a Showgirl? Think about that. This is what we want our kids to emulate? Taylor Swift? This is who we want our daughters to admire—and our sons to be obsessed with? Taylor Swift isn’t even trying to hide the vulgarity—it’s right there, front and center. Her grip on young hearts and minds is enormous—and make no mistake, it’s a direct assault on their souls.
Even worse, it’s not just kids and teens idolizing her—it’s parents, too. And if you’re a parent blasting her music around your children, you’re helping normalize the very things that are eroding their innocence.
It’s time to start guarding our homes, our families, and our children from the filth that surrounds us. If we don’t, the darkness will only deepen, and the damage will only grow.
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.”
Ephesians 5:11
Over the past couple of weeks, my colleagues and I have been working diligently to hold Presbyterian College accountable for the appalling comments made by Dr. Emily Taylor regarding Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Last week, I sent a formal letter to President Anita Gustafson and the Board of Trustees. In it, we made our position clear: if the college fails to appropriately address the situation, we are prepared to take action, including pulling all South Carolina Tuition Grant funding.
An EXCELLENT guest column from state representative @THELukeRankin on the dangers of allowing government-run, taxpayer-funded @MUSCHealth to continue invading the private sector. We've weighed in on this in the past, but Rep. Rankin NAILED IT. 👇🏼 💯 https://t.co/x9Kt4HVgtq

Big win for South Carolina! The state just landed #2 on the 2025 Top States for Business list.
✅ It ranked first in business incentives, cost of doing business, and site-readiness programs
✅ And earned second place in site availability, cooperative governance, and regulatory environment
South Carolina isn’t just open for business - we’re leading.
