Another SCHD 49 debate clip. This time the mod is asking about protecting people from ICE, essentially. #SCpol In Rock Hill, elementary school classrooms are typically comprised of something like ten Black Students, nine White students, and eight Latino students.

Another clip from the SC HD 49 primary debate last night. The question was about data centers. Both candidates agreed on this issue. The two entities that did not agree on time were the City of Rock Hill and York County Council. RH rejects them. YoCoCo permitted a beast of one. #SCpol

Here it part of it, on silent. John is saying that the moderator told them, at the beginning, they could not say things they could not back up. Then he says he brought receipts and hands out a list of Perry’s donors. The crowd erupted in laughter.

Perry then gave a reply that frankly did not make sense. He says legislators should have seen redistricting coming and been pro-active about it years ago. Friends. They did. They were. They worked SO hard on it at the proper time, after the last census. You can see John’s confused look.

It started with a question about redistricting. The moderator read a quote from McMaster. Here is that quote, the question, and John’s answer:

Alright y’all. Here is a moment from the SC HD49 debate tonight you’ll want to watch. I’ll start with the juicy bit and explain in the comments. #SCpol 👀

A little glimpse into South Carolina politics tonight, and Jim Clyburn introduced probably Presidential candidate Gov Andy Beshear at his annual fish fry. Clyburn is almost 86 and seems as young as when I first met him in his 60s. More photos from tonight👇

Update on the buzzard situation:

And a word from the likely Democratic nominee for Governor:

👀 Watch what is happening in South Carolina right now. #SCpol The members are more or less locked in, State police are dispatched to find those not on the floor as the #redistricting bill is read in full. From Rep Grant:

Full disclosure: I’ve known Trav for many years, and he does have primary opposition. I’m supporting him because he used to work for another State treasurer when the agency worked well and is uniquely qualified to turn the ship around.

From the Rock Hill NAACP candidate forum yesterday: Democrat Trav Robertson is running for South Carolina State treasurer. It’s a stunner of a race, for reasons explained in the following two clips. The rot with the Republican incumbent is a symptom of what ails us. Please watch. #SCpol #scnews

Here John expresses concern for the 14th and 15th amendments. He also relates an extremely John-ish conversation he had with Governor McMaster about snap benefits. The question had been about SNAP. #SCpol

From today’s Rock Hill NAACP candidate forum. My friend, Representative John King, who is facing a primary opponent, comments on the South Carolina #redistricting fight. Watch👇 #SCnews #SCpol

We have a lot of grapes coming in. These are a New Mexican wine grape we planted in South Carolina that the grape nerds tell me seems pretty much identical to a Spanish Black. Matt makes a killer wine out of these in the years we get a good crop. 🌱
