BRACK: Meet South Carolina’s red snowflakes

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher  |  They don’t want to be told what to do, yet they hold public office to pass laws to let their people do just about whatever they want to do.

BRACK: Stop the bantam-roostering on pandemic, schools

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher  |  There’s been a lot of huffing, puffing and bantam-roostering of late by Gov. Henry McMaster and Republican legislative leaders about when schools should reopen.
