Newberry Judge Request Sworn Medical Affidavits and Sets Near-Term Deadline in Jeff Davis Case
- Details
- By James Spurck, Publisher
“This Court is at a loss as to why the Plaintiff’s (Jeff Davis) present medical situation exists when four doctors agreed that full recovery should have already occurred.”
A Newberry County Circuit Court judge has issued a new order in the long-running civil case involving the current Greenville County Republican Party Chairman, Jeff Davis, requiring sworn medical affidavits to justify continued delays in court proceedings.
This time, Circuit Court Judge Donald B. Hocker issued the order without a hearing, marking the fourth order entered since the South Carolina Court of Appeals issued guidance in late 2024.
In a prior order issued in May 2025, the court anticipated scheduling a hearing on pending appellate stay matters by November 2025 based on medical opinions from treating physicians indicating Davis would be able to resume normal activities. When the court recently attempted to schedule a hearing, Davis reported that he could not attend due to ongoing medical treatment.
Prepared Remarks from Palmetto Family Alliance President Steve Pettit

COLUMBIA, SC – Palmetto Family Alliance President Steve Pettit made the following remarks regarding H. 4760 when he testified to the Constitutional Laws Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee earlier today:
“The heartbeat of the pro-life movement has always been clear: all human life is sacred from conception. This is not merely a political stance; it is a moral conviction rooted in God’s design, affirmed by our nation’s founders, and upheld by people of faith throughout history.
In the Jewish tradition, there is a principle called pikuach nefesh—the saving of life. The rabbis taught that saving even one life overrides nearly every other commandment, because life itself is the foundation of all other values. Without life, there is no freedom, no justice, no faith, no future.

South Carolina’s House Must Choose the Real Meal in Primary Reform – H. 3310
At a recent press conference at the South Carolina State House, Rep. Mike Burns delivered what could become the defining quote of this year’s state legislative fight over election reform. Referring to two competing primary election bills now before the House, Burns reached back to an old Jean Shepard country song At the Time, for illustration:
“‘If you’ve never had filet mignon, peanut butter tastes just fine.’ We have two bills: one is filet, and the other is peanut butter. We get to make a decision next Wednesday morning.”
This alimentary decision is expected to come before the House Judiciary Committee next Wednesday, January 21, at noon. It is not just about legislative preference. It is about whether South Carolina Republicans will finally enact true closed primaries or settle for something weaker, with less muscle behind it, an insider-controlled, establishment substitute being marketed as a strong, healthy reform.
Democrat-Turned-Republican Pascoe Makes Third Appearance Before Greenville County GOP
- Details
- By Terry M. Thacker
First Judicial Circuit Solicitor David Pascoe, a candidate for Attorney General running as a Republican, addressed the Greenville County Republican Party this past Monday at their quarterly business meeting.
Pascoe, a long-time Democrat, announced his change of allegiance to the Republican Party in April of last year, in time to run for the seat being vacated by Alan Wilson, who is himself a candidate for governor.
Savvy politicians know that it is a long shot to run for statewide office in South Carolina as a Democrat. In fact, the last time a Democrat was elected Attorney General in the Palmetto State was Thomas T. Medlock in 1990. The last Democrat to be elected to any statewide office in the state was Jim Rex, who was elected as Secretary of Education in 2006.
SCOTUS Seems to Favor State Laws Shielding Girls’ Sports
- Details
- By S.A. McCarthy - The Washington Stand
A pair of lawsuits challenging state protections for girls’ sports has reached the U.S. Supreme Court, where the nation’s highest judges appear inclined to side with state governments seeking to prevent biological boys from competing as girls. Oral arguments were heard Tuesday in the cases Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. BPJ, originating from Idaho’s and West Virginia’s state laws, respectively, barring biological males from competing in female sports. In both cases, Republican-appointed justices seemed to favor upholding the state laws.

Johnson: Tax Dollars 'Will Never Be Used to Pay for Abortion. Period. Full Stop. End of Sentence.'
- Details
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
They’ve only been in session a week, but it’s already been a rocky new year for Republican leaders. Despite a big win on appropriations that brings Congress one step closer to avoiding a government shutdown, virtually everything has been overshadowed by the stormy clouds of the health care debate. First, President Trump dropped an atomic bomb on his party with his sudden “flexibility” on taxpayer-funded abortion. Then, 17 members of House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) majority decided to become the first Republicans ever to vote for the expensive failure known as Obamacare. But as the speaker knows better than anyone: since when has the GOP made anything easy?
