Maybe twitter and the social media platforms should voluntarily turn themselves off for a couple of weeks. The nation could use a timeout. Read a book. Take a walk. Call an old friend. Like it was before the internet.

I work w/ some very special people. They show up to work ‘cause they want to. They’ve dealt w/ birth of children, death & loss of loved ones, family issues, they’ve counseled people hanging on by a thread. Yet they work. Every day by choice. Led by Gov @henrymcmaster #TeamSC.

Consider this: Gov @henrymcmaster wants SC parents to chose if their kids go back to school or get at home instruction. So far - Not one mainstream media story on today’s announcement includes comments from what real working parents prefer for their children.

South Carolina Actions Compared to Other States. If you are at home, work or getting groceries or meds - you are acting responsibly to stop spread. Posting pics complaining of public non compliance means you’re part of the problem too. Go home.

Personally watched @JoeBiden eulogize Strom Thurmond, witnessed him love on @SenJohnMcCain. Visibly a man head over heals in love with his wife, and amazing father tested by loss. Let this go Democrats. Can’t vote for him, but I respect him. He can hug @Aliwalker86 anytime.

Nice that there are @nfl players that still say “yes ma’am” in post game interviews. I’m 52 and I say it - and I open that door- always- young and old. Southerners know that Mama and Grandmama always watching - on earth or in heaven. Don’t mess up. Be a man. Gentleman.

Meanwhile, today in South Carolina - bipartisan cooperation, collaboration and communication in governance was on display. The free market unleashed!.
South Carolinians will have greater access to affordable healthcare services with the repeal of the Certificate of Need laws. Everyone benefits when the proven power of the free market is unleashed in our state.

We’re talking about practice.
South Carolina has had 87 governors since it became a state in 1776. Today, no one had held the office longer than Henry McMaster who gives his 8th State of the State speech on his 2,927th day in office (that’s 8 years, 5 days beating Dick Riley).

The problem is a total marketing messaging disconnect @RayTannerSC @GamecocksOnline - One of the most loyal and hardened fan bases - is slipping into apathy - and the athletic department response is turn up the volume, make more videos, give us more money.

There's an available mega site in Rock Hill, SC - almost move-in ready w/ a brand new interstate interchange. Good neighborhood. Seller motivated. Priced to move!.
Will the ACC move, or keep, its permanent home? . Rumors have swirled around a move to Charlotte, a city in Florida, or remaining in Greensboro. N.C. lawmakers included $15 million in the budget to try to keep the ACC here:.

Fall 1999. Conf of Mayors New Orleans. Before @SenJohnMcCain went onstage I smoothed out his hair with my hands. Some jerk in back of room made snarky comment. Reporter standing near us very loudly said: “His shoulders were broken in Vietnam you asshole.” . Silence.

#JoMo invented this #CarolinaScript logo in 80s. He didn’t need a fancy pants name for it. But if he had to select a name for - it would likely have been “This Marlboro Red says you’re catching this ball Mr. Bethea.”

I am certain there are bigger “stages” waiting for @MattBockhorst From everything I’ve heard, he is an exceptionally talented and brilliant young man whose leadership and commitment to service will influence the lives of many.
They don't make dudes better than @MattBockhorst. As Dabo Swinney said, "That kid has given every ounce of everything he’s had in his career.". His thank you to the media is excerpted below; the full interview is linked here:
