Branden Brown for Congress

Washington is full of career politicians who talk in circles while our own backyard struggles. I’m Branden Brown. I’m a Marine and a former firefighter. I don’t care about national TV spots or keeping the establishment happy. I care about the Grand Strand and the Pee Dee. The incumbent is part of a system that votes for multi-billion dollar foreign aid packages while our veterans sit on waiting lists. He’s part of a system that funds the world’s borders while ours is wide open. He’s part of a system that votes for massive omnibus spending bills that hide the rot of our $34 trillion debt. Russell Fry has become the establishment and fallen away from America First! He says: "Secure the Border." He votes: For foreign aid packages that prioritize Ukraine's border over ours. He says: "Drain the Swamp." He votes: To fund the administrative state through minibus spending bills. He says: "Protect our Rights." He votes: To let the government spy on you without a warrant. I am the choice for South Carolina because I’m not a lawyer or a professional talker. I’m a servant. Here is the difference: • Veterans: I want proactive programs to end veteran and first responder suicide, not just a "Thank you for your service" badge. • The Second Amendment: I’m pushing for National Constitutional Carry. Your rights shouldn’t end at the state line. • Education: We need to scrap the "No Child Left Behind" model and stop the federal government from micromanaging our kids' classrooms. • Term Limits: No more career politicians. I will fight to enact strict limits so Washington stays focused on the people, not the power. • Spending: No more massive foreign aid supplemental bills and no more omnibus spending. If we don’t have the money, we don’t spend it. We need straight talk and raw leadership. We need to restore the American Dream right here at home.

Not a chance chief. You clearly have never been to South Carolina. This is a Conservative State built on faith and freedom. Good luck knocking on doors down here with that script. The only thing entering every household in our neighborhoods is a deep appreciation for the First and Second Amendments. Keep dreaming.

@RepNancyMace Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and it’s gonna enter every single household in America- that’s a fact

We are one nation under God. Not one nation under Muhammad. Sharia law has no place in America.

@RepNancyMace And to the Republic for which it stands not to the democracy for which it stands 🇺🇸

@TeamTalaricoHQ That is a ten year old picture from charges that were completely dismissed. Ken Paxton had the decency and the backbone to turn himself in and face it head on like a man. He stood his ground and he won. Move on.

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.

Bless your heart ma'am. This man from South Carolina is a Marine veteran who loves this country. We all have a stake in Texas because if Texas falls the rest of the republic goes with it. If Texas cannot lock down the border, South Carolina pays the price with illegals. Every state is a border state now. All republicans are in this fight together to save America.

@BrandenBrownSC @amyklobuchar Man from South Carolina say what?

Talarico is going to win this.

The fight to save America has no state lines. From South Carolina to Texas we are in a nationwide war against the radical left. That is why I stand with @KenPaxtonTX and ask all Texan Republicans to get out and vote come November. James Talarico represents pure woke lunacy. He is a radical progressive pushing an anti God agenda, preaching about a nonbinary god and trying to force a toxic pro trans ideology onto children. We need real fighters who will defend our traditional values in Washington. Stand with Paxton and keep Texas red.

Acting like you suddenly cares about John Cornyn supporters is the funniest thing on the internet today. You spent years calling the guy a threat to democracy. Now that Ken Paxton won the runoff, you want to invite lifelong Texas conservatives into your progressive sandbox? That is like a wolf inviting the sheep over for dinner because they had a disagreement with the sheepdog. Cornyn voters might have had their differences in the primary, but they are not about to vote for your progressive fantasies. Nice try though.

I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state.  We don’t agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service. To Senator Cornyn’s supporters: you have a place in our campaign.

The disaster from that experiment is that the Federal Reserve completely broke the American housing market and liquidated the savings of the middle class. When you flooded the system with trillions of digital dollars you did not create real wealth. You created an artificial asset bubble. Then to stop the bleeding from the massive 25 percent inflation wave your “printing” triggered you had to jack up interest rates at the fastest pace in decades. Go look at the real world fallout. Young couples across America are completely locked out of their dream homes because mortgage rates skyrocketed to clean up the mess. Working families are buried under credit card debt just to buy groceries. They rescued the balance sheets of Wall Street banks and left the bill on the table of everyday Americans. That is the disaster.

@BrandenBrownSC @unclelukereal1 What was the disaster?

When I’m elected to Congress, I’m pushing for reparations for Foundational Black Americans — descendants of slaves in America. Reparations means justice, economic repair, land ownership, opportunity, and restoring wealth stolen for generations. It’s time for accountability. Make sure you’re on the right side of history.

Roger Kirby and the SCDP can pop their champagne and throw a victory party all they want. But let us be completely honest about what they are actually celebrating here. They are celebrating a broken status quo that protects entrenched politicians at the expense of regular South Carolinians. The left loves to lecture us about democracy every single time they get a procedural win. Let us clear something up for Roger. America is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. We pledge allegiance to the flag and to the republic for which it stands, not to the progressive establishment. Instead of allowing an open debate to establish clear and honest lines, the Democrats fought tooth and nail to protect their own single district. They care about keeping their seats, not about what is best for our communities. Go ahead and brag about this Roger. Working people see right through the political theater. November is right around the corner. While you focus on protecting the swamp in Columbia, we are moving forward with a real mission to vote out the RINOs. The final word belongs to the voters and they will give you a reality check very soon.

Statement From SCDP First Vice Chair Representative Roger Kirby On Failed Republican Congressional Redistricting Push

When people think of the government making money they picture a giant printing press stamping out green ink on paper. That is physical currency. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing handles that part and they only print physical bills based on what banks actually request for ATMs and cash drawers. But the Federal Reserve creates the vast majority of the American money supply with a computer keyboard. Think about how you check your own bank account on your phone. You see a number on a screen. If you deposit cash that number goes up. The Federal Reserve does not need to deposit cash. They have the unique power to just change the numbers on the screen for the big commercial banks. When the Federal Reserve wants to execute Quantitative Easing or pump money into the system they buy financial assets like Treasury bonds from Wall Street banks. The bank hands over the bond. The Federal Reserve doesn’t mail them a suitcase full of hundred dollar bills. The Federal Reserve operator just logs into their master ledger system and credits the electronic account of that bank. If a bank has ten billion dollars sitting in their Federal Reserve account the operator simply types in new digits and turns it into eleven billion dollars. It is a pure accounting entry. Those are called central bank reserves. They exist entirely as electronic data. The commercial banks then use those artificial digital reserves as a foundation to issue more loans and credit to the public. Why is this distinction so critical? Because a printing press has physical limits. It requires paper and ink and time. Digital ledger entries have absolutely no limits. A bureaucrat can manifest a trillion dollars into the banking system with a single click of a mouse. It takes zero physical effort to dilute the purchasing power of your hard earned savings. That is why the system is so broken. It allows Washington and the Federal Reserve to flood our economy with fake digital wealth while working class families pay the very real price at the grocery store.

@BrandenBrownSC @unclelukereal1 Again, it's all "printed." What was the disaster?

Yes QE absolutely caused a disaster. For anyone who does not know the Wall Street jargon QE stands for Quantitative Easing. That is just a fancy term for when the Federal Reserve prints digital money out of thin air to buy up government bonds and debt from big commercial banks. We all just lived through the result of that failed experiment. The massive cash injection from the Federal Reserve during the pandemic is exactly what triggered the highest inflation wave this country has seen in forty years. Working families are still paying the price for that mistake every single time they buy groceries or look at housing costs. Trying to compare the Federal Reserve buying bank bonds to printing twelve trillion dollars for direct political handouts is flat out dishonest. One was a dangerous policy that already severely damaged your purchasing power. The other is a financial nuclear option that would completely collapse the United States dollar overnight. Here is the bottom line. There is no such thing as a free handout in America. Real wealth is built through hard work and production, not manufactured on a central bank computer ledger. That is just the hard truth you have to live with.

@BrandenBrownSC @unclelukereal1 What Bernanke described is how all federal spending works. Did QE cause a disaster?

@TheDemocrats Somebody explain the math here. How exactly does the Democrat vote count magically shoot up by 1.33 million votes from 2024 to this year?

Fired up. Ready to go. It’s time to take back Texas.

None of them did. And they did not cause a disaster because they were paid for with actual tax dollars already sitting in the budget, not printed out of thin air. When Reagan paid Japanese internment survivors in 1988 the total bill was around 1.6 billion dollars. When Florida paid Rosewood survivors it was two million dollars. Those were small and finite amounts. The disaster happens when you try to manifest twelve trillion dollars out of nothing. That is over half of our entire national money supply. You simply cannot compare a small budgeted payout to printing trillions of fake dollars that crash the global currency.

@BrandenBrownSC @unclelukereal1 Right. Which other US reparations program resulted in the economic disaster you describe here?

That video describes a total economic illusion. You think prices are high now? You have not seen anything yet. Activists are demanding anywhere from $250,000 to $350,000 per person. With 43 million people that hits a staggering total bill of 10 to 12 trillion dollars. Printing that much cash does not create wealth. It triggers absolute economic ruin. When Washington floods the market with that much made up cash all global trust vanishes. The dollar could potentially collapses to less than a single penny in actual purchasing power. A basic loaf of bread could increase $500. A single gallon of gas could spike past $1,000. This would trigger an economic crash and a depression far worse than the 1930s. It completely wipes out the life savings of every working family in this country. The worst part is it destroys the very people receiving the reparations. You can skip the IRS vote all you want. Main Street still pays the bill at the grocery store and the gas pump.

@BrandenBrownSC @unclelukereal1 Not much different than this. youtu.be/hiCs_YHlKSI?si…

@FloraLuzz_ Absolutely because I was born here and a law abiding citizen and have nothing to hide from any law enforcement.

Imagine showing up to vote and seeing ICE checking IDs at the door. Would you still vote?

If the radical left wants to spend their time playing identity politics and throwing tantrums calling republicans Nazis, racists and facists, let them. I am focused on the real issues facing the families right here in America. They want to push rewriting reality to fit a woke agenda. Let us get back to absolute basics. A man is a man and a woman is a woman. Biology does not tell lies. It is just that simple. God created us the way we were born for a reason and He does not make mistakes. No amount of political wokeness will ever change biology. While they are busy trying to police our freedom of speech our southern border is wide open. We have a total collapse of national sovereignty. We need to secure the border completely. That means deporting those who broke our laws to get here and ending the exploitation of anchor babies. If you enter this country illegally your children should not automatically get citizenship. A nation without borders is not a nation at all. We also have to be completely clear about who we let into our country and who we allow to lead it. We must keep radical Islam and Sharia law out of the United States. Our legal system is based entirely on the Constitution and that must remain the only law of the land. We also need to put an end to allowing anyone to run for office who is not a natural born citizen. You cannot lead America if you do not have sole allegiance to our republic. How can you represent American citizens when you still hold allegiance to a foreign nation? Your loyalty belongs to America alone when you swear to that naturalization oath. We also need to protect the citizens who actually follow the law. The Second Amendment is your permit. I am pushing for national constitutional carry. At the very least we must pass national reciprocity for CWPs so your right to self defense does not vanish when you cross a state line and is valid in all 50 states. It is time for unapologetic leadership that puts American families first. That is the only way you ensure National Security, and restore the American Dream! #AmericaFirst

Where do you think the money comes from? The federal government does not have a single dollar that does not come from hard working taxpayers first. Claiming a massive reparations program will not cost American Taxpayers anything is a complete lie. The entire concept is fundamentally wrong. Forcing Americans who never owned slaves to pay people who were never slaves is not justice. It is collective guilt designed to divide us. We do not fix the past by writing checks. We build the future by stopping out of control spending and making sure EVERY American has a fair shot at the American Dream.

@BrandenBrownSC @unclelukereal1 A federal reparations program wouldn't be funded by taxpayers

@BasedMikeLee It’s mind blowing how many New Yorkers are in full support of socialism. Then again no one ever said democrats had smart policies.

Ah yes, let’s ’transfer ownership’”

@FloraLuzz_ They broke the law didn’t they

Does entering the United States illegally automatically make a person a criminal?
