This is what putting South Carolina first looks like.
I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges.
We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: South Carolina deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

A story can inform you.
Information can move you.
It can help you make a decision, discover an opportunity, support a business, understand your community or connect with someone you needed to know.
That’s why INFO24 is more than news.

Cyrus Carmack-Belton did not steal the water. Prosecutors said the accusation that started this entire tragedy was false. They said Chow chased Cyrus more than 130 yards before shooting him in the back.
If a falsely accused 14-year-old Black boy is running from two grown men, and one of those men has a gun, who was really standing their ground?
A jury may have cleared Rick Chow in a court of law, but the verdict does not clear the moral contradiction at the center of this case. Because the question South Carolina must answer is not simply whether Chow feared for his son. The question is this:
Yet in Richland County, a jury was presented with a set of facts that led to a very different conclusion. The legal outcome ultimately recognized the fear of the men pursuing the child, not the child being pursued. That contradiction is the foundation of this article.
The image is fictional, but the question is not. It intentionally reverses the racial identities associated with the real-life events that inspired this commentary. In the actual case, the teenager was African American and the men pursuing him were of Asian descent.
Before you read this article, take a moment and look at the accompanying image. It depicts a young Asian boy running from two adult Black men, one of whom is armed. If most people were asked, “Whose life appears to be in danger?” they would likely point to the child being chased.

Bishop Johnnie Mclendon’s support is proof that the power of discernment is real.

🚨 The @RealDonaldTrump endorsement of @PamelaEvette was already earning poor marks in South Carolina, but what appears to be a serious vetting issue involving her would-be lieutenant governor, @HenryMcMasterJr, could throw it into further disarray. #Crossroads2026 fitsnews.com/2026/05/31/is-p…

In the “circle of greed,” we the people are stuck in the middle, and we are the ones who pay the price. Politicians like Jermaine Johnson could have protected us from this economic harm by telling the power companies their money was no good to them and by refusing to do their bidding. Unfortunately, that is not what happened. Politicians like Jermaine Johnson took the power companies’ money and then did their bidding by voting “yes” on the Energy Security Act.
