@JLRINVESTIGATES@henrymcmaster Investigate it. Scottish settled in Fairfield County 1787.
In SC, many family names date back for generations. We are one of the original 13 colonies. Lots of wonderful history.
RIP, Lindsey Graham.
An unapologetic champion for our Military, our Veterans, and our Country. A Patriot to his core. He led from the front, in uniform and in the Senate. Honored to have known him for two decades.
Job well done Colonel, we have the watch from here.
Lindsey Graham’s tribute to his dear friend Joe Lieberman broke every rule—because laughter was the only way to hide his broken heart. If you’ve never seen this before, it’s mush-watch material 👇🏻👇🏻
U.S. Army Sergeant Hilburn McDowell “Buddy” Burdette Jr. was killed in action on July 12, 1970 in Lam Dong Province, South Vietnam. Buddy was 19 years old and from Simpsonville, South Carolina. C Company, 75th Infantry, 173rd Airborne Brigade. Remember Buddy today. Ranger. Hero🇺🇸
.@POTUS on Sen. Lindsey Graham: "Where he was really becoming strong was the SAVE America Act, and I think he was going to be there very strongly on the filibuster... he was a strong advocate for SAVE America, and that's what he called me about last night."
Great news to see the continued investment in Coast Guard Base Charleston!
As Chairman of the Senate @BudgetGOP Committee, I was glad to secure this historic funding for the Coast Guard as a part of the One Big Beautiful Bill.
South Carolina lost a statesman and I’ve lost a friend.
My prayers are with his sister and the rest of his family.
From his humble beginnings to the Senate floor, Lindsey always led with faith, family, and South Carolina first.
Lindsey remained committed to public service and doing what he loved. He always introduced levity and brought wit to the most challenging moments.
Lindsey will be missed.
5 days ago, Senator Lindsey Graham posted about how the IRGC threatened to assassinate him. They threatened to assassinate me and President Trump as well with matching posters of our faces held by IRGC operatives at Khameini’s funeral that called for our heads to roll.
Now, Senator Graham is dead one day after returning from Ukraine. Russia sent a delegation to Khameini’s funeral.
While in Ukraine, Senator Graham spoke about sanctioning Russia and further assisting Ukraine in their defense against Putin.
Recently, Russia threatened to supply Iran with nuclear weapons.
This doesn’t feel like a coincidence.
@ChrisJacksonSC I got the GlobemasterIII on Monday.
I heard it before it flew over the house.
Most times I get Dreamlifters flying over the house going to Charleston from Alaska.
I will keep watching. Thanks for the info!
@ChrisJacksonSC Why would this Royal Canadian Air Force Plane make a bow over Dorchester, SC?
It departed from Fort Liberty, I followed it to Beaufort where JILL51 joined it.Then both flew around Georgia and currently back in SC near Hampton.
Data centers are a straight-up scam and a disaster for South Carolina, and this Lake Wylie project is Exhibit A in why York County needs to slam the brakes with that moratorium on July 13.
These things are electricity vampires the size of small cities. They don’t just ‘use power’, they devour it at a rate that forces utilities to build new transmission lines, substations, and eventually new power plants, and guess who pays for every penny of that infrastructure? Regular homeowners and small businesses on Duke Energy and York Electric bills.
The company can spin whatever fairy tale they want about ‘downward pressure on rates,’ but we’ve seen this movie in Virginia, Georgia, and Texas, the data centers get the cheap power and tax breaks, residents get the rate hikes and the blackouts when the grid can’t keep up.
Water? Lake Wylie isn’t some endless industrial reservoir. These facilities suck millions of gallons for evaporative cooling. During droughts (which we already deal with), actual residents and farmers get restricted while the data center’s landscaping gets the first cut?
They’re turning a recreational lake into their personal cooling tower.
And the jobs lie is the most insulting part. A few dozen high-paid tech roles that go to people imported from Charlotte or Raleigh, plus temporary construction crews. Meanwhile our neighborhoods get 24/7 fan noise, diesel backup generators belching fumes, traffic from construction, and once-pristine land turned into ugly industrial sprawl.
Corporate welfare at its finest, they get incentives, we get the mess.
The fact this thing was fast-tracked before the legislature could finish protections against exactly this kind of rate-gouging and preferential treatment tells you everything.
It’s classic bait-and-switch by politicians more interested in ribbon-cuttings than protecting the people who actually live here.
South Carolina doesn’t need to become another data center colony. Pass the moratorium, kill this project, and tell every other tech giant sniffing around that our power, our water, our air, and our quality of life are not for sale.
United States Army Private First Class Heyward Windell Nedd was killed in action on July 7, 1966 in Quang Nam Province, South Vietnam. Heyward was 21 years old and from Bishopville, South Carolina. 25th Infantry Division, 14th Infantry, B Company. Remember Heyward today. Hero.🇺🇸
