#SouthCarolina Biden is going to win today. However if you are opposing the war in #Gaza, as much as i dislike her, Maryanne Williamson is a protest vote you can use to send a message to the party. She's been opposed to the operation from the beginning. I don't know which states are winner take all, but delegates can impact the convention and the party platform. This is the only way via representative democracy in a two party system we have to send a message. #SouthCarolina

Not from the Onion : U.S. asks for help finding missing F-35 fighter jet after pilot ejects during 'mishap'

The jet was left in autopilot mode so there’s a possibility it could still be airborne somewhere over South Carolina, a spokesman at Joint Base Charleston told NBC News.

A U.S. fighter jet’s stealth abilities appear to be working too well, with authorities forced to ask the public for help finding an F-35 that went missing somewhere over South Carolina when the pilot ejected because of a “mishap.”
Joint Base #Charleston, an air base in North Charleston, said it was working with Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort to "locate an F-35 that was involved in a mishap" Sunday afternoon.

"The South Carolina Senate votes to ban abortions after roughly six weeks of pregnancy. State Sen. Tom Davis (R) remarked, “At some point in time, the right of the state to see the unborn child born does take precedent over the woman’s right to her body.”"

South Carolina Lawyer Alex Murdaugh Charged With Killing Wife and Son

Alex Murdaugh, the fourth-generation lawyer whose family has long held power and influence in a rural swath of South Carolina, was charged on Thursday with killing his wife and one of his sons at the family’s secluded hunting estate in a mysterious murder that remained unsolved for more than a year.

Mr. Murdaugh, 54, was indicted on two counts of murder, with prosecutors saying he fatally shot his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, 52, with a rifle and his son Paul Murdaugh, 22, with a shotgun, on June 7, 2021. Alex Murdaugh had called 911 that night from the family’s estate in Islandton, about 65 miles west of Charleston, saying he had returned home to find his wife and son dead near his dog kennel. ...

The long strange and quite multi-generational story of power, murder, corruption, and politics in South Carolina continues.

The lawyer who tried faking his death, and the writer exposing his crime dynasty

Real-life villains don’t come more sharply drawn than Alex Murdaugh, a greedy and ghoulish personal injuries lawyer who casts a haunting shadow over the state of South Carolina. For nearly a century, his father and grandfather were the prosecutors for a five-county district while also running a powerful private law firm.

But it wasn’t until the small hours of 24 February 2019 that the dark veil over the Murdaugh family’s dealings began to slip. That’s when Alex’s son Paul is alleged to have plowed the family’s 17-foot bay boat into a bridge abutting Parris Island, the nation’s largest Marine recruit depot. Among the three people cast overboard was an ebullient 19-year-old former high school soccer player named Mallory Beach. She was found dead in the murky tidewaters near the crash site after a seven-day search. ...

...

“My life turned upside down on 7 June,” Matney tells me on the chilly November evening we meet in downtown Beaufort. The Friday night begins with dinner at Luther’s, the pub where CCTV cameras caught Paul Murdaugh downing lemon drops and Jaeger shots just before taking to the water (ostensibly to circumnavigate roadside DUI checkpoints) and ends with digestifs and coffee on a twinkling restaurant deck off Waterfront Park – the last place those same cameras spied Mallory Beach alive. ...

An update and backgrounder on the Murdaugh case (murder, corrption, drugs, embezzlement, politics, ...) and the reporter who's been breaking the case ... and having to switch publications in order to do so after her original publication refused to give her free reign over the story.
