#Henry McMaster

Kylie Cheung at Jezebel:

As we approach a new year, we’re still trapped in an inescapable time loop: Conservatives remain trying to defund Planned Parenthood!  On Wednesday, the Supreme Court announced it will take up a case centered around whether South Carolina can withhold Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood—even for the range of non-abortion services it provides. Recall that laws already (stupidly) prohibit federal funding from covering abortion services. Still, that isn’t and has never been enough for anti-abortion activists.

The case is called Kerr v. Planned Parenthood and stems from a 2018 executive order from South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R). He told the state’s Department of Health and Human Services to deem abortion facilities “unqualified” to provide family planning services under Medicaid. Then, Planned Parenthood and one of its patients, Julie Edwards, sued the state, arguing that cutting off its funding violated a part of the Medicaid Act that allows beneficiaries to choose their provider. The justices will specifically weigh whether the plaintiff, Edwards, has standing to sue the state under an 1871 law that allows residents to challenge illegal acts by South Carolina officials. The state argues that Edwards doesn’t have standing because Medicaid is a federal program, not governed by the 1871 law in question. South Carolina is represented by Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the Christian nationalist law firm behind multiple anti-abortion lawsuits currently being fought in courts across the county.

Kerr has been looping around the legal system since 2018 and already made it to the Supreme Court twice. The justices rejected it in 2020 and then, last year, sent it back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, which ruled unanimously in favor of Planned Parenthood and Edwards. South Carolina then appealed that decision to SCOTUS.

SCOTUS to weigh in on potentially harming birth control access in Kerr v. Planned Parenthood. The MAGA majority on the court would love to “defund” Planned Parenthood.

I received this press release:

Governor Henry McMaster, in partnership with the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), invites you to attend a significant, one-day forum on addressing and combating antisemitism in higher education.  The event will take place at the University of South Carolina Pastides Alumni Center from 9:00am to 7:00pm on September 9, 2024. The event will provide a platform for many individuals to share experiences, concerns, and insights, as well as discuss actionable strategies to prevent and respond to incidents of hate, discrimination, and intolerance on college and university campuses.

This is most welcome.

Who will Trump pick as his VP candidate? (Part 3)

Who do you think Donald Trump will pick as his running mate in 2024? This does not mean who you would prefer--just who you think is most likely.

I've divided the possibilities into 4 polls because Tumblr only allows 12 choices per poll. Here are the current and former governors. You can also vote in the other polls for senators, representatives, and non-politicians.

After these polls close, I'll post a final round consisting of the top choices.

(Nikki Haley was governor of South Carolina before she became UN ambassador.)

Tumblr does not allow political posts like this to be Blazed. So to increase participation, please reblog if US politics is a topic that you post about.

Governor Henry McMaster declared it. The last day of the Pettit presidency is Steve Pettit Day in South Carolina.

Wednesday, October 2, 2024 - Kamala Harris

The Vice President spent her morning and early afternoon once again off the campaign trail volunteering throughout the hurricane stricken region that is reeling from Hurricane Helene. In the morning, she once helped a few volunteer groups pass out water bottles to families so that there were sources of clean drinking water. In the afternoon, she sat on a briefing with Governors Glenn Youngkin, Roy Cooper, Andy Beshear, Bill Lee, and Henry McMaster.

The Vice President in the late afternoon headed back to Washington, D.C. where she and Doug would be hosting a Rosh Hashanah Seder for some campaign surrogates, donors, and their families. The campaign felt strongly that this year in the face of political upheaval being faced by those in the Middle East and around the world, that the New Year was brought forth in a loving environment. Rabbis, Priests, and Imams were in attendance as was a special guest—Dr. Amra Sabic-El-Rayess, a premier interfaith scholar at Teachers College, Columbia University.

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff shared a portion of a prayer from the World Relief Organization, "Lord, hear us. Lord, we lift up Israel and Gaza to You. Please speak into this crisis. Give world leaders wisdom as they handle this situation. Guide our hearts and minds as we pray. Amen."

Yep, whichever state it is, the federal government is helping to deal with Hurricane Helene.

Reese Gorman at NOTUS:

Just weeks after winning reelection to her House seat, Rep. Nancy Mace is already looking at a statewide bid in 2026, according to four sources familiar with the matter. The sources said Mace has been discussing two positions: South Carolina governor or a Senate race. (Sen. Lindsey Graham is up for reelection in 2026.) But three of the sources said Mace is particularly looking at the governor’s seat, which Henry McMaster has held since 2017 when he replaced Nikki Haley after she was appointed to be Donald Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations. McMaster is term-limited in 2026 and can’t run again.

Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina — who has also said he is looking at primarying Graham in 2026 — told NOTUS he is aware that Mace is considering a run for governor but had not heard it directly from her. [...] Mace — the first woman to graduate from The Citadel — came into Congress as a moderate. She was outspoken against Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. “I hold him accountable for the events that transpired for the attack on our Capitol,” she said in January 2021. But as her district shifted to the right, so did Mace — seeking the spotlight at every opportunity. She teamed up with former Rep. Matt Gaetz and six other Republicans to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his position. And she’s recently gone after the first openly trans member of Congress, introducing a bill to ban transgender women from using female restrooms in the Capitol. The bill is expected to be part of the rules package for the next Congress.

[...] At this point, Mace’s antics for attention are the stuff of legend on Capitol Hill. A Mace staff handbook that The Daily Beast obtained laid out how her staff was required to get her booked on national TV outlets between one and three times per day.

Wanna know why Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is ramping up her anti-trans attacks recently? The fact that she is considering a run for either Governor or Senate.

Titanic Officer Barbie Movie Posters (and 1 fun fact about each of the officers!)

(Because why not)

Feel free to save as phone wallpapers 🙈

I’ve decided to include our babeypurser McElroy because the role of Purser is sometimes regarded as an officer role. Among all the officers, Lightoller (B), Pitman (5), Boxhall (2) and Lowe (14) survived the sinking. McElroy was the only officer whose body was recovered and identified; he was buried at sea.

Now to the fun facts!

Henry Wilde: he was already captain and was set to command the SS Cymric for the Liverpool to Boston Route. Unfortunately, the coal strike happened and his first voyage with Cymric was delayed to presumably 1st May. White Star Line decided to put him in onto the crew of Titanic as Chief Officer.

As you guys may know already, Henry Wilde is my favourite officer so it’s not surprising that I have been posting about him for this April. I also am currently doing a series of TikToks for his actions throughout Titanic’s maiden voyage as well🙈

Here’s my post about Wilde being made aware of joining Titanic

This is my post on the Crew Shuffle if anyone would like to read more about it

William Murdoch: Charles Lightoller thought his bestie’s moustache make him look ugly so he grew his moustache so that Will could shave. Nevertheless, we all think otherwise.

Charles Lightoller: of course, his role as one of the captains of the little ships during the Dunkirk Evacuation. He saved around 130 lives in it with his family yacht, the Sundowner.

Side note: currently, the Sundowner is a museum ship in Ramsgate but sadly, the yacht is in a bad condition and we need money to repair. I know I don’t have much high opinions on the British (yeah except Henry Wilde), despite having been living in England for almost 5 years, but Lightoller has been one of the most intriguing figures to me; being through 4 shipwrecks and fire, also living through Titanic, WWI, and Dunkirk, his story of hope and survival is worth a movie. If you would like to help preserving a piece of history, please consider donate to help save this famous getaway yacht little ship🙈

And here’s the campaign video by our TikTok Lightoller Fan Club President Melissa on saving the getaway yacht

Herbert Pitman: despite suffering from seasickness, this son of a farmer had a more than half-century long seafaring career, retiring in 1946. He started his career as an apprentice, then a deck officer and when he could not pass the eye test due to colour blindness at one eye, White Star Line made him a purser and he stayed in this position for the rest of his career. Pitman served in both world wars on troop ships; when he retired, he was a Lieutenant-Commander of the Royal Naval Reserves and was created an MBE in 1948, in recognition of his long service in the merchant marine.

Joseph Boxhall: he had a very happy marriage with his wife Majory and they were very fond of their dogs. This may be a substitute to children given that they do not have children together but anyways if anyone asked why you haven’t had kids yet, tell them about the Boxhalls and their doggos 🐶

Harold Lowe: he was a hobby artist who works with watercolours, as well as wood carvings. This may come across as surprising but you should not be surprised given that his father was an artist. There are a few of Harold’s drawings exists today, including a sketch of Titanic (in which he messed up with the funnels). Oh yes, he was also in the church choir as well when he was young.

James Moody: During his South American runs, he would sometimes flirt with female passengers with his very patchy Spanish and well, sometimes he just dropped in some swear words by accident. Yeah, in case you wondered, he’s not that shy as you thought after watching Ed’s portrayal of our daring Jim in the 1997 movie (the real Jim was quite cheeky actually).

Hugh McElroy: as the ship’s purser, he was there to take care of passengers’ needs (like he’s basically the “manager”). From parrot-tending (yes, and he trained the parrot to do morse code) to organising marriage ceremonies for runaway couples, he’s there to try to help. And as a result, he was a very popular man on the ship and passengers were honoured to share a table with him.
