McMaster's priorities: Reduced taxes, school choice, civil liability reform
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve

In his eighth State of the State Address on Wednesday before the S.C. General Assembly, Gov. Henry McMaster outlined his priorities as South Carolina’s longest-serving governor, including lowering the income tax rate further, reforming civil liability laws and improving school choice opportunities.
The Republican governor, who took over for Gov. Nikki Haley in 2017 and whose current term ends in January 2027, proposed accelerating the cut in the state’s personal income tax rate from 6.2% to 6%, which he noted would allow taxpayers to “keep an additional $193.5 million of their hard-earned money instead of sending it to state government.”
Continuing Threat of Animal Rights Fraud: A Personal Note to Ted Nugent
- Details
- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center

Hey, Ted Nugent,
Do you remember at the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show) in the early ‘90s, when you got up on stage and told me to go home? That you would do away with animal rights (AR) single-handedly? I had, not long before, started my organization, Putting People First (PPF), after People for the ethical Treatment of Animals had been in my daughter’s science classroom telling her I was a murderer because I hunted. PPF was the first organization that went after animal rights across the board. Others who were tackling the AR issue, were doing it piecemeal – hunters trying to protect their right to hunt, researchers protecting research – but none seemed to have looked at the entire animal rights field – that they were against all human use of animals. They wanted no meat eating; milk drinking; leather, wool, silk or down wearing; research using animals; or even pet ownership.
Protecting Marylanders from Physician Assisted Suicide

DAVIDSONVILLE, Md. -- On Thursday, January 30, multiple non-profit groups and concerned citizens arrived in Annapolis to speak with their Maryland legislators about the dangers of the End-of-Life Option Act.
The bill has failed to pass in Maryland during 7 previous legislative sessions but there are rumors the bill will soon be introduced again this year. According to Laura Jones, co-founder of the educational non-profit, The Dignity Mandate, “Many legislators see this issue as a matter of personal choice. However, this bill extends beyond individual autonomy and requires the doctors, nurses, and pharmacists to be complicit in the act by providing the deadly drugs people use to overdose and die.”
South Carolina House Subcommittee Passes Resolution to Term Limit Congress
- Details
- By US Term Limits
Columbia, SC -- The South Carolina House Constitutional Laws Subcommittee passed House Concurrent Resolution 3008 (HCR3008), which proposes a congressional term limits amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The effort, led by Rep. Cal Forrest and spearheaded by the nonpartisan nonprofit U.S. Term Limits, passed with 3 yeas and 1 nay.
As U.S. Term Limits' President Philip Blumel put it, “The people of South Carolina are lucky to have public servants who see what is going on in D.C. and are willing to take action to fix it. They know that Congress won't set term limits on itself. Therefore, it is the obligation of the states to do so.”

Trump Upholds the Unborn

What a week in Washington, D.C.! As we reported last week, President Donald Trump and his Administration have wasted no time taking action to get our country back on track. He has signed dozens of executive orders (EOs) that will empower parents, protect the lives and health of our children, and bolster American families.
The 52nd annual March for Life took place on Friday, January 24th in Washington, D.C. Tens of thousands of marchers gathered to show their support for women and their babies. For the first time in March for Life history, representatives from all facets of government spoke to the crowd. President Trump sent a video message while Vice President J.D. Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke in person. This was a great showing of unity for the cause of life among our nation’s leaders. President Trump also took decisive actions to support the unborn and pro-life activists.
State Treasurer Dodges Key Questions on $1.8B Controversy
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve

Under questioning last April at a state legislative hearing, longtime S.C. Treasurer Curtis Loftis answered “yes” when asked by then-Sen. Mike Fanning if the mystery $1.8 billion was “real money that I can touch,” and if it could be withdrawn “today.”
Loftis, a Republican who was first elected in 2010, also agreed with Fanning, a Fairfield County Democrat who lost his reelection bid last year, that the $1.8 billion had earned “roughly $225 million in interest.”
But the treasurer’s statements, which were made at the April 2, 2024, hearing of a Senate Finance subcommittee, stand in stark contrast to the findings in a report issued two weeks ago by a global consulting firm hired by the S.C. Department of Administration, as directed under a state budget proviso, to investigate the $1.8 billion and related issues.
Transgenderism Not ‘Honorable, Truthful’ or Compatible with Military Service: Trump EO
- Details
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand

President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders reorienting the U.S. military away from liberal indoctrination by banning extreme gender ideology —including transgender pronouns — and DEI policies aimed at advancing critical race theory. The actions brand transgender ideology a “falsehood” that prevents its adherents from living an “honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life.”
President Trump’s new policy will “end invented and identification-based pronoun usage” and stop members of one sex from using the opposite sex’s “sleeping, changing, or bathing facilities” except under “extraordinary operational necessity,” such as in war zones. It classifies “gender ideology” and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as “radical, extremist, and irrational theories” and will set about “abolishing the DEI bureaucracy.”
