10 Days

The Iowa Caucus is ten days away and Florida Gov Ron DeSantis continues to swing for the fences against his top two presidential primary opponents—former President Donald Trump and Ambassador Nikki Haley.

DeSantis is locked with Haley for second place behind President Trump, and during a recent CNN town hall event, the popular governor from Florida questioned Trump’s campaign strategy in Iowa, and blistered Haley as being a “phony.”

DeSantis has invested the most of all 2024 GOP presidential candidates and has the most to lose, and it shows.

Trump has been campaigning in Iowa of late, but not in the way Haley, DeSantis, and Ramaswamy have.

DeSantis has been all over the place and that could pay huge dividends for him with Iowans, and could pull an upset in Iowa.

Donald Trump is running on his issues, Nikki Haley is running for her donor’s issues,” said DeSantis.

For several months, Houthi rebels from Yemen have been attacking international shipping in the Red Sea. A coalition of the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries recently warned the group to cease their attacks or be punished. Representative Cory Mills (R-FL) did not express confidence in the warning in a recent appearance on Fox and Friends First, especially as the Houthis are part of a larger plan by America's adversaries to disrupt the West.

Rep. Mills pointed out that the Biden Administration had removed the Houthis from the foreign terrorist organization (FTO) list, added by President Trump.

Additionally, he compared the situation to the aftermath of the Maersk Alabama hijacking in 2009 (the subject of the 2012 film Captain Phillips with Tom Hanks).

"You saw where they were actually starting to patrol the internationally recommended transit corridor to ensure that we had commercial lanes open," said Rep. Mills, adding that three Houthi boats were sunk on New Year's Eve by American Naval forces, warning the crisis could escalate.

Moreover, Mills continued, "I want to paint a broader picture for the American people, which the incident that is occurring with this attempt to block commerce or disrupt commerce is part of the bigger geopolitical plan by the China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea alignment."

On top of disrupting trade in the Middle East, Mills pointed out China's investments in Panama as a means of influencing trade in the Western Hemisphere, "using economic coercion to try and cut off and increase trade tariffs on the Panama Canal."

In June, Representative Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) similarly warned of investments along the Panama Canal by the Chinese, as the Republic becomes dangerously friendly to China, up to no longer recognizing Taiwan as a country.

Mills has not minced words in blasting the Biden Administration's foreign policy, recently saying that "Obama/Biden’s own Secretary of Defense stated that Joe Biden has been wrong on EVERY foreign policy issue," and that the President "has emboldened our adversaries through weakness, and America’s position on the work stage is taking a hit. We’ve got to bring back Trump's foreign policies and a peace through strength mindset."

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) recently led a group of GOP lawmakers to Eagle Pass, Texas, to demand border security. The Biden Administration has claimed they require more funds to secure the border, to which Representative Kat Cammack (R-FL) viciously replied, "If my eyes had rolled any harder, they would have rolled out of *censored*," calling the White House's counter-demand "total crap" in a recent appearance on Fox Business's Evening Edit.

Rep. Cammack continued to not mince words when she added, "[President Biden] has been given more resources for the border and securing the border than any other time in history. This is absurd. And when he says he wants more money, let us not forget that he said he wants more money to process illegals faster."

As a result, Rep. Cammack stated continuing resolutions (CRs) for the Congressional budget are "no longer an option" as a government shutdown grows closer, saying, "We have to do the appropriations process, single-issue bills and secure the damn border."

Other Florida Republicans have similarly demanded the border crisis be treated as a standalone issue before any other bills would be considered, including Representatives Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Byron Donalds (R-FL), and Cory Mills (R-FL).

Moreover, she predicted the current crisis would drive voters away from Democrats in the 2024 Election, especially as California intends to provide free healthcare to illegal migrants and Howard County, Maryland, will create an extra seat on state school boards only migrants can vote for.

"That kind of nonsense is going to drive people from the middle of the political spectrum to vote for conservatives because they do not like what is happening to their communities. The open border policies of Joe Biden have turned every town in America into a border town," Cammack continued.

California's new law went into effect with the new year starting, which critics have said will only strain the state's Medi-Cal program further, especially as California faces spending deficit problems.

In December, officials in Maryland's Howard County argued a position on the county school board, for which only illegal immigrants could vote, could feasibly exist based on the wording of a current provision in the system, which says a position on the school board is voted upon exclusively by public school students.

As if the infamous "Florida man" headlines could not get any crazier, a Florida man has now been arrested for threatening to kill US Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and his children.

Representative Swalwell is a prominent House Democrat who currently represents California in the House of Representatives.  The congressman tried running for president in 2020, but was unsuccessful, dropping out before losing to President Biden (D) in the primary race.

Swalwell has since become famous, or infamous in conservative circles for reasons other than his political success.  Swalwell became embattled with controversy after it surfaced that he had personal ties with a CCP spy.  The Chinese operative, named "Fang Fang," used campaign fundraising and networking, which is reported to have included romantic/sexual relationships with two Midwestern Mayors, and was able to acquire proximity to political power. Moreover, it “was a big deal, because there were some sensitive people that were caught up” with the Chinese operative according to US intelligence agencies.

The controversy has made him an easy target for voters to pick on.  72-year-old Michael Shapiro allegedly threatened Swalwell because of this incident with the Chinese spy.  Of the five voicemails Shapiro is accused of making statements such as he will, "come and kill your children."

Shapiro is accused of leaving other voicemails that appeared to refer to allegations tying Swalwell to the suspected Chinese intelligence operative, according to the criminal complaint. They repeatedly refer to "a Chinese spy” and "Fang Fang," it says.

Swalwell stated in response to the criminal proceedings, "There is no place in America for threats of political violence.  We must always resolve our differences at the ballot box. While I will continue to protect my family and staff these continued threats will never stop me from representing my constituents."

Shapiro has been released on bail and has an arraignment scheduled for January 24, 2024.

Florida Rep. Cory Mills (R) is sounding the alarm on a geopolitical alliance between China, North Korea, and Russia. Rep. Mills is warning that the United States must remain vigilante because the alliance is looking to threaten the U.S. through "three fronts: economic, supply chain, and military."

During an interview with Fox News, Rep. Mills discussed political tension that the United States faces. In discussing the concerns, Rep. Mills commented on the threat that the nations face, warning that the U.S. must do more to counter their efforts.

Sharing a segment of the interview on social media, Rep. Mills continued the discussion in the caption, writing that the U.S. needs to take control of its own supply chain. Moreover, “build America’s economy and industrial base capabilities, and get energy security.”

“The series of confrontations we’re seeing in the Middle East are not isolated incidents, and they go far beyond just a military element,” Rep. Mills explained, adding that “the geopolitical alignment of these four nations aims to target the United States on three fronts: economic, supply chain, and military.”

He went on to explain the strategy that China is adopting to threaten the U.S., commenting that “China is strategically using Iran and their supported militias – Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis – to disrupt commerce and target US shipping lanes while trying to drag us into kinetic warfare.” “These recent attempts to control the Red Sea shipping corridor, a key trade route that accounts for 12% of global trade, aim to cut off the Western Hemisphere’s supply chain,” Rep. Mills added.

Relations between the U.S. and China have grown more tense, and it has only been exacerbated with the Chinese Leader Xi Jinping’s recent year-end address wherein he vowed that “All Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should be bound by a common sense of purpose and share in the glory of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.”

Harvard President Claudine Gay as resigned from her position.  Her resignation comes just weeks after failing to share whether calling for the genocide of Jews would violate university standards.

The House of Representatives passed a bipartisan resolution condemning their testimonies.

The measure also called for the remaining university presidents to resign (UPenn’s Elizabeth Magill stepped down on Dec. 9). All four members of “The Squad” (AOC, Tlaib, Omar, Pressley) voted against the resolution. The resolution passed by a tally of 303-126.

Representative Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) – one of the authors of the bipartisan resolution alongside Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY) – said the action that Congress took “made it clear” that Gay’s choice not to condemn anti-Semitism was unbecoming of the prestigious university.

The Presidents of UPenn and now Harvard have resigned after their abhorrent testimonies before Congress.

My bipartisan resolution with @RepStefanik made it clear that their words were unacceptable & that leaders who fail to condemn antisemitism will be held accountable. pic.twitter.com/RgYpHZM2F3

“The Presidents of UPenn and now Harvard have resigned after their abhorrent testimonies before Congress. My bipartisan resolution with Rep. Stefanik made it clear that their words were unacceptable & that leaders who fail to condemn antisemitism will be held accountable,” said Rep. Moskowitz.

Representative Brian Mast (R-FL) released a statement following the announcement, mentioning that it was a “good thing” she stepped down.

Harvard’s president Claudine Gay demonstrated that academic integrity dies with wokeism. Good thing she resigned.

— Rep. Brian Mast (@RepBrianMast) January 2, 2024

“Harvard’s president Claudine Gay demonstrated that academic integrity dies with wokeism. Good thing she resigned,” said Rep. Mast.

Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) said Gay’s resignation was “good, but not good enough” as she remains employed by the university.

Good, but not enough. @Harvard still plans to keep her on faculty. That’s not okay.

People who embrace Hamas terrorism and refuse to condemn anti-Semitism have NO PLACE at American universities, and she should be fired.https://t.co/HkLWrwiLAH

“Good, but not enough. Harvard still plans to keep her on [the] faculty. That’s not okay. People who embrace Hamas terrorism and refuse to condemn anti-Semitism have NO PLACE at American universities, and she should be fired,” said Sen. Scott.

Representative Vern Buchanan (R-FL) declared that although the now-former Harvard President has resigned, there is still work to do (referring to MIT President, Sally Kornbluth).

Harvard President Claudine Gay is resigning today.

While she should have been fired for her disgusting failure to combat anti-Semitism and condemn calls for the “genocide of Jews,” this is the right decision.

TWO down, one to go.

— Rep. Vern Buchanan (@VernBuchanan) January 2, 2024

“Harvard President Claudine Gay is resigning today. While she should have been fired for her disgusting failure to combat anti-Semitism and condemn calls for the ‘genocide of Jews,’ this is the right decision. TWO down, one to go,” said Rep. Buchanan.

Should President Kornbluth resign, Congress will have some early vindication to begin 2024.

The post Last Squeeze🍊—1.2.2024—Abortion Inches Closer to be on Florida's Ballot this Fall—'Shut Down the Border or Shut Down the Gov't'—More... appeared first on The Floridian.

US Representative Cory Mills (R-Fl) expressed his commitment to either "shutdown the border or shutdown the government."

Representative Mills' comments are representative of many Republican lawmakers' willingness to compel Democrats to compromise on immigration reform and tighter border enforcement.

Mills outlined his legislative priority via X as passing "the 12 single-point Appropriation Bills with necessary cuts, reforms, economic growth strategy, and either shut the border or Shutdown the government.”

This is something I stated earlier but worth recycling:

Last November, conservative lawmakers leveraged government funding to encourage Democrats and President Joe Biden to acquiesce to Republican requests for decreased spending and immigration enforcement.

A government shutdown was averted due to ex-House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy's passage of a temporary spending bill.

With such bill's expiration date nearing, Republicans are once again signaling their commitment to immigration enforcement and fiscal policy includes entering a government shutdown if necessary.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken recently visited Mexico to discuss joint immigration enforcement measures with Mexican officials. A joint US-Mexico press release described the trip reinforced both countries' mission to "address the root causes of migration, such as poverty, inequality, and violence."

However, many Republicans have accused Biden of generating the migrant crisis at the Southwest border via loose immigration laws and the deliberate lack of enforcement of existing immigration laws.

US Representative Anna Paulina-Luna (R-Fl) recently criticized Biden's immigration policies while warning of a new migrant caravan traveling towards the US through central America.

Representative Luna claimed border enforcement legislation is urgently needed to adequately regulate immigration flows across America's borders.

"To hear that this is somehow a humanitarian thing, and we need to just blanket wave these people in. One, it is stupid, but also it is a political talking point. And let me be clear about something. We absolutely have the ability to stop this, and we should " explained Luna.

The post Mills Asks Biden "Shut Down the Border or Shut Down the Government" appeared first on The Floridian.

House Republicans continue to demand action on the southern border, and the Representatives from Florida count among the most vocal. Representative Kat Cammack (R-FL) discussed the border crisis in a recent appearance on Fox Business's Mornings with Maria, saying Democrats have been ignoring the issue "at their own political peril" and Americans will recognize current policies as "not humane."

"[Democrats] ignore it at their own political peril," said Rep. Cammack, "but also at the risk of our own national security." Having visited the border herself several times, she described seeing "little children that are being trafficked. You see women who have been abused. You see grown military-age men with tattoos on their faces claiming asylum. It is clear the entire immigration system is broken."

As such, Rep. Cammack stated, "We need to bifurcate the issue," meaning the border must be secure first and foremost before any other policies are considered, similar to demands by Representatives Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Byron Donalds (R-FL), and Cory Mills (R-FL).

Substitute host Sheryl Casone pointed out that the Biden Administration has authorized the construction of additional border walls despite initial claims they would not "because quietly they know they have got a huge problem on their hands."

Cammack agreed, saying, "We are one terrorist attack away from a major, major loss of life but [also] a breach in our national security," as Rep. Luna, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), and Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) has previously warned.

Moreover, Cammack highlighted the inability of Health and Human Services (HHS) to keep track of over 85,000 migrant children, for which Secretary Xavier Becerra was unable to answer in April.

"There is going to be a bombshell report that Americans are going to look up and say, 'what the heck is the Biden Administration doing? This is not a humane policy, this is not asylum," Cammack continued before speculating the border crisis is intentional, designed to "sway elections, to do things illegally," similar to speculation by Representative Carlos Gimenez (R-FL).

Nevertheless, she concluded this is precisely why Congress must demand action within the next 17 days before another government shutdown.A

He did it His Way

Happy New Year! Feliz Año Nuevo! While the 2024 Florida Legislative session begins next week, we are all still focused on Gov. Ron DeSantis in the 2024 Republican presidential primary race, which could begin or end for him when Iowans caucus on January 15^th.

There could be an Elvis sighting soon.

And now the end is here

And so I face that final curtain

My friend I'll make it clear

I'll state my case, of which I'm certain...

It’s not looking good for Gov. DeSantis, even though his so-called “influencers” or “zombies” are desperately trying to spin a potentially massive election night loss in Iowa and New Hampshire.

If DeSantis loses badly in both states, there is a good chance he will drop out and concede to Ambassador Nikki Haley and former President Donald Trump.

The latest state-level polls taken in Iowa Show President Trump with a commanding lead over both Haley and DeSantis, who are battling it out for second place with 16 and 18 percent support from those surveyed, respectfully.

The polling is worse for DeSantis in New Hampshire, where he is currently in 4^th place,  polling in single digits behind former Governor Chris Christie, Haley, and Trump.

What caused DeSantis’s presidential campaign to derail?

DeSantis.

We have accurately pointed out that DeSantis’s communications and online efforts will lead to his campaign demise because he decided to hire rookie political operatives with a total of two weeks of on-the-job experience.

But while the likes, amateurish antics of Andrew Romeo and Christina Pushaw pushed him over the cliff, it was DeSantis's initial “birdbrain” idea of trying to run a top-to-bottom presidential campaign instead of the traditional bottom-up approach that so many Republican presidential candidates before him have successfully done.

Instead of DeSantis jumping in an old pick-up truck and cruising around shaking hands and kissing babies, DeSantis started with a bloated and Swamp-like bureaucratic campaign that kept him at a distance from the media, and limited access to potential voters.

After the campaign almost went bust (reboot), DeSantis switched it up a bit, but the damage was already done.

Regardless of his position as Governor of Florida, DeSantis is just a regular dude who has always been reclusive, but 2024 showed many Americans that he, like most politicians, is all about himself.

Forget about non-immediate family. Forget about friends. Forget about who got him to where he is today.

If you don’t have something immediate to offer DeSantis, you are irrelevant to him.

DeSantis is the epitome of a transactional career politician, who has entrusted amateur spokespeople to guide his political career along.

Yeah, it seems like DeSantis will lose in Iowa and the rest of the states, but this is American politics, anything can happen.

We will say it again, if DeSantis can finish at a respectable second place in all of the early voting states, all bets could be off in the contentious race.

Meanwhile, the State-of-the-State address will be next week, it will be interested to hear what DeSantis focuses on before jetting back out to Iowa.

There is a high probability that DeSantis will miss a bulk of the legislative session because he is campaigning in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, and in Super Tuesday states.

Kat Cammack-Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy New Year! As we bid farewell to 2023 and welcome 2024, I look forward to connecting and working with my constituents as we face the challenges that lie ahead together.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz-I join the Dallas community and all those Americans touched by former Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, a trailblazing legislator, devoted public servant and champion for vulnerable populations and stronger healthcare for all. May her memory be for a blessing.

Maine has become the second state to remove former President Donald Trump from its primary ballot, sparking outrage among the right. Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) appeared on Fox News's Ingraham Angle to discuss, saying the decision "opens up Pandora's Box" and suggested such moves are a means to distract voters from Biden's polling numbers and policies.

"The idea that one bureaucrat in an executive position can simply unilaterally disqualify someone from office. That turns on its head every notion of constitutional due process that this country has always abided by for over 200 years. It opens up Pandora's Box," said Gov. DeSantis, adding that a Republican Secretary of State can remove President Biden from their state's ballot by the same logic for his handling of the border crisis, which could be interpreted as knowingly aiding and abetting our enemies.

While Maine's decision is not likely to stand by the U.S. Supreme Court, Gov. DeSantis suggested similar events about Trump's legal cases will occur throughout the coming election year because Democrats "do not want to face accountability for their failed policies," similar to comments made by Representative Cory Mills (R-FL), who has said actions have intentionally been taken against Trump shortly after damning information about Joe and Hunter Biden has been revealed.

Substitute host Jason Chaffetz asked what the Republican Party and other primary candidates should do next.

DeSantis answered that if he wins the Republican nomination, he "will be able to keep the focus on the Democratic failures, but then more importantly, after you win the election, start holding these people accountable who have weaponized the legal system to go after their political enemies. And that starts on day one, firing somebody like Jack Smith that goes to dealing with people who are violating constitutional rights at the state and local government area. Republicans have turned a blind eye to abuses of power for too long," DeSantis concluded.

Trump continues to dominate in the polls, and this latest removal will likely make the point spread even wider.

Foreign policy has quickly become an important staple of the 2024 election, and it’s significantly affecting the Biden administration. During an interview on Fox News, Florida Rep. Cory Mills (R)  discussed President Joe Biden’s (R) foreign policy, pointing out that the United States finds itself in grave danger.

According to a new New York Times/Siena College poll, 72% of registered voters ages 18-29 disapprove of the way President Biden has handled the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Rep. Mills, in his assessment of President Biden’s foreign policy, argued that the conflict is one of several threats that the U.S. currently faces, adding that the United States should quickly return to the foreign policy that President Donald Trump (R) oversaw.

Sharing a segment of his interview on social media, Rep. Mills captioned the video with additional information, writing that “Obama/Biden’s own Secretary of Defense stated that Joe Biden has been wrong on EVERY foreign policy issue.” He likened President Biden’s approach to President Barack Obama’s (D) approach, noting “that this current admin consistently leads from behind.”

“The acts of aggression we’re seeing with Hamas in Israel, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthis in the Red Sea, and Kata’ib Hezbollah in Iraq, is ultimately war by Iran, and the U.S. is the big fish,” Rep. Mills explained, adding that the Biden administration “has emboldened our adversaries through weakness, and America’s position on the work stage is taking a hit. We’ve got to bring back Trump foreign policies and a peace through strength mindset.”

President Trump now leads President Biden in national polls, and President Biden is also the clear frontrunner in the Republican primary.

Rep. Mills specifically pointed out China as a grave threat, detailing that “China is using Iran as a proxy. They are utilizing Russia and Ukraine as a proxy,” noting that China is “trying to drain us down economically.”

Is the perception of Democrats being the anti-Israel party accurate? Representative Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) reiterated that the Democrats in the House who are critical of the Jewish State are a small minority during the "Common Ground" segment on Fox News' Special Report with Bret Baier, saying that out of 214, only twelve can be considered consistently anti-Israel, and also spoke on the Biden Administration's response to a recent attack on US troops in Iraq.

Rep. Moskowitz did concede there was "a split" among Democrats over Israel but reminded viewers "You have seen dramatic bipartisan support" for it as well.

"There are a dozen or so, and some join them from time to time, but the overwhelming majority of Democrats, along with my colleagues across the aisle, support Israel. If you look at the bill [on] Israel's right to exist, there was only one 'no' vote on that in Congress," said Rep. Moskowitz, evidently referencing a resolution voted on near the end of November, with the single "no" vote" coming from Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY).

Additionally, Moskowitz offered commentary on a recent drone strike ordered by the Biden Administration after Iran-backed militants injured three American soldiers in an attack. This marked the 103rd attack on US installations in Iraq and Syria, which House Republicans such as Representative Cory Mills (R-FL) have said deserve a stronger response.

Moskowitz, on the other hand, said while these Iranian proxies are pushing the envelope, he did "think [the administration] should respond forcefully, but make sure, obviously, they do not give opportunity for someone to take advantage and widen the war."

As a result, he concluded, "This is going to take a while, and then obviously there is going to be time thereafter to figure out what happens with the remainder of Gaza and the West Bank and the Arab world, what will happen when Hamas's military capabilities are completely destroyed."

Representative Mike Waltz (R-FL) similarly speculated on what happens after the war, pointing at the problem of Iran being able to fund Hamas and the difficulty of deradicalizing the remaining Palestinian population.
