President Joe Biden is heading to South Carolina to make the case that his economic agenda is helping keep even red states humming

Joe Biden will announce a $60 million investment from Enphase Energy Inc, a manufacturer of solar-energy equipment when he travels Thursday to South Carolina, according to a report published by Bloomberg.  With this move, around 1,800 new jobs will be created across the United States including 600 in South California between Enphase and its partner multinational manufacturing giant Flex Ltd, the White House said in an official statement.  Enphase aims to open up six new manufacturing lines, bolstering clean-energy supply chains and helping power as many as one million homes per year with solar energy, Bloomberg reported.  The manufacturer's visit to South California comes as the US President is heightening his reelection campaign with a series of events to champion his administration’s accomplishments — in particular his economic agenda, which the White House has taken to calling Bidenomics.  He has been highlighting his efforts to create manufacturing jobs in the US as a centerpiece of his efforts, boosted in part by legislation he signed into law including the $370 billion Inflation Reduction Act and the $52 billion CHIPS and Science Act. Joe Biden argued that those laws will bring deep and lasting changes to the American economy, yet despite a boom in factory construction, many of those facilities won’t come online for years, a challenge for a president whose economic record will be central to his reelection prospects.

South Carolina, an alligator attacked and killed a woman who was walking her dog Wednesday. This macabre incident took place on Hilton Head Island. Confirming the incident, the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office said that the police have recovered the body of a 69-year-old lady by a poolside near a golf course in the Spanish Wells Community. It also said that the alligator was guarding the body of the woman, preventing the rescue operation. The dog was safer. The alligator was removed from the body of the woman. Unfortunately, it is not the first incident of this kind in the area. The Sheriff’s office said in a statement posted on its Facebook page, “This is the second fatal alligator attack in Beaufort County in less than a year. On August 15, 2022, an 88-year-old Sun City woman was attacked by an alligator at a lagoon near her home.” In a separate incident in the Bluffton community in August 2022, an elderly woman was killed by an alligator after she slipped into a pond accidentally. In this incident also, the alligator was seen guarding the woman. In yet another incident, an alligator mauled an elderly woman in a gated community.
