Week In Review

I missed last week’s editions of the ‘Week In Review’ due to illness, but executive editor Liz Farrell and special projects director Dylan Nolan filled in admirably … so before diving into this week’s news, I wanted to say a quick ‘thank you’ to them for stepping up. There was a ton of news to cover this week, but I am not naïve enough to think the vast majority of you are here for my incisive pol...

It was another busy week at FITSNews as our intrepid researcher Jenn Wood paid a visit to our South Carolina headquarters.

It was another busy week at FITSNews. And while there was plenty of news, not much of it was new – our crony-capitalist governor saw his Carolina Panthers deal go up in flames and a suspect in the Columbiana Mall mass-shooting was granted bond . Sound familiar? The Palmetto State is no stranger to crony capitalism and judicial leniency . Liz Farrell highlighted South Carolina’s ongoing ‘injustice’...

In this week’s expansive show, Will waxed extensively on core functions of government in the aftermath of a recent knife attack at a South Carolina courthouse.
