Can These Republican Bills Thwart Democrats’ Weaponization Of Ballot Initiatives Before It’s Too Late?
Nobody Is Buying The Garbage Immigration Bill Florida Republicans Are Selling
Trump’s Executive Orders Are Only The First Step In Defeating DEI
Like a dog to vomit, weak Republicans sabotage their own party
We are not a nation of laws, and we never have been. We are a nation of political will, and we always will be. Take Florida for example.
What is happening in the Sunshine State is a reminder that the Bible is always correct. The dog returns to its own vomit. Which is another way of saying no one rises above his own worldview. No one. If you’re a junkie, you’ll continue to be one until your worldview has changed. If you’re an abuser, you’ll continue to be one until your worldview has changed. If you’re a simp, you’ll continue to be one until your worldview has changed. If you’re a resident of Covidstan, you will continue to hate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. until your worldview has changed.
The opposition to RFK Jr., Trump, or DeSantis isn’t really about principles — it’s about the fragile male egos of the 'nicer than God' Christian-GOP establishment.
If there were ever a place where people instinctively did the right thing because it benefited them — without necessarily believing in the underlying principles — it would be Ron DeSantis’ Florida.
He rejected every GOP consultant’s playbook to transform Florida from a place that narrowly gave him a victory over a guy who once snorted cocaine off a gay hooker’s behind to a place that awarded him a decisive 20-point landslide four years later. And incidentally, his victory contributed to the near-total collapse of the Florida Democratic Party. So obviously, a lot of GOP consultants should never work again, right?
Nope! Oh, look! Vomit!
The Florida Republican legislature is eating it up in the name of protecting illegal immigration in Florida by trying to give the state agriculture commissioner more power to police the matter than the governor possesses, thus trying to turn DeSantis into a lame duck as we speak.
Take notes, my friends, because I promise you this: If the GOP loses the 2026 midterms by pulling its punches and channeling the spirit of Mitt Romney, the same type of Republicans in Washington will try to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency. They resent that both Trump and DeSantis forced them to take actions they had long avoided.
If they can’t accept victory in Florida, seize the momentum, and ride the wave to success elsewhere, they won’t do it anywhere. There is no real conservative movement — only men wielding power.
Which brings us back to RFK Jr. and the opposition to his nomination as secretary of health and human services, led by evangelical figures like Mike Pence.
The GOP’s problems stem largely from the same issues that plague the church. In this case, Republicans with weak pro-life records use RFK Jr.’s stance on baby-killing as a smokescreen to excuse their broader failures. Take Francis Collins, for example — a so-called pious Christian who rubber-stamped Anthony Fauci’s disastrous policies that upended American life and pushed the poisonous jab. Collins has never expressed a shred of remorse.
Meanwhile, within two weeks of retaking office, Trump reinstated 8,000 service members to full rank and back pay after they were purged from the military, cracked down on transgender ideology in hospitals and women’s sports, and ramped up deportations of rapists and drug traffickers who prey on children.
That looks pretty pro-life to me, far more pro-life than anything Mike Pence has done. The opposition to RFK Jr., Trump, or DeSantis isn’t really about principles — it’s about the fragile male egos of the “nicer than God” Christian-GOP establishment, whose only true conviction is maintaining a grifty hold on power.
I’m absolutely done with that vomit. And you should be, too. Be honest with yourself and realize that there is more pro-life action being taken by the Trump administration than in all other GOP administrations combined. Take “yes” for an answer and let RFK Jr. go to work in the battle of wills before us.
Ron DeSantis RIPS Florida RINOS for misleading TRUMP Act that works against mass deportations
Not that long ago, Gov. Ron DeSantis considered Donald Trump a foe when he ran against him in the presidential primaries. Today, however, he’s doing everything he can to ensure Trump’s agenda is advanced in Florida. That includes fighting a group of “unbelievable RINOs” in the Florida legislature who are resisting his intentions to support Trump’s mass deportation plan.
This group has even created something called the TRUMP Act, which does the opposite of what its name suggests.
Yesterday, Gov. DeSantis joined Glenn Beck on “The Glenn Beck Program” to explain what exactly is in this misleading bill.
He first divided the states into three categories: The “sanctuary jurisdictions” that will attempt to “sabotage Trump’s agenda,” the neutral states that won’t help or hinder, and the states that will offer full support.
It’s the latter he hopes Florida will be.
“After the election, I said this is our chance; this is the number one issue the president ran on, and we need to get it right,” Gov. DeSantis told Glenn.
Unfortunately, RINOs in the Florida legislature are working to thwart Gov. DeSantis’ intentions to support ICE in carrying out deportations. Their resistance has come in the form of something called the TRUMP Act.
“They're playing this game where they think if they put Trump's name on a weak bill that somehow people will think it's going to be good, and it's totally inadequate,” he said.
These RINOs are aiming to preserve “cheap illegal alien labor” that is sought after in certain industries and remove “immigration enforcement authority from the governor” and place it in the hands of the “Commissioner of Agriculture.”
“That's like the fox guarding the hen house,” DeSantis analogized.
Further, under this proposal, “illegals can register [to vote] in Florida” without having to sign an affidavit alleging that they’re U.S. citizens, which violates Florida’s constitution.
“We have in our proposals a rebuttable presumption that illegals that get brought up on criminal charges are detained and then turned over to ICE,” but this group of resistors “watered that down so that judges are just going to release these guys back on the street,” he explained.
These Republicans, DeSantis reminded, “all ran on bashing Biden's border policies,” and argued that Florida needed “to get tough supporting Donald Trump's agenda in 2024.”
Now they’re “bragging” about purchasing “beds for illegals,” he said. “I don’t want to house the illegals, I want to deport the illegals.”
The constituents of these Congress members are unhappy as well.
“I've never seen our base react more negatively on an issue than what the legislature is trying to pull right now. It is like 99 to 1 in terms of opposition,” said DeSantis.
If the voters’ displeasure wasn’t evidence enough that the TRUMP Act is garbage, “Democrats in the Florida Senate were high-fiving them; liberal media in Florida have been singing their praises; the ACLU of Florida tweeted thank you for what you're doing.”

From Florida To Texas, ‘Red State’ Republicans Are Subverting America First Priorities Across The Country
DeSantis becomes first US politician to use 'Gulf of America' moniker, even before Trump's Gulf of Mexico executive order
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) became the first U.S. politician to officially refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," even before President Donald Trump signed an executive order to rename the large body of water.
On Monday afternoon, DeSantis issued a state of emergency as a hazardous winter storm approached the Florida Panhandle from the Gulf of Mexico. However, DeSantis didn't use the Gulf of Mexico verbiage, but instead used "Gulf of America," which was previously floated by Trump.
'America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on earth, inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world.'
"An area of low pressure moving across the Gulf of America, interacting with Arctic air, will bring widespread impactful winter weather to North Florida," DeSantis stated in the recent Florida executive order.
Around 10 p.m. on Monday, Trump signed dozens of executive orders, including renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.
The executive order titled "Restoring Names that Honor American Greatness" vowed to "promote the extraordinary heritage of our nation and ensure future generations of American citizens celebrate the legacy of our American heroes."
"The area formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico has long been an integral asset to our once burgeoning nation and has remained an indelible part of America," the executive order stated.
The Gulf of America is the world's largest gulf. The gulf is approximately 600,000 square miles — making it the ninth-largest body of water on Earth.
The executive order noted that the gulf "was a crucial artery for America’s early trade and global commerce," that it provides the U.S. with a multibillion-dollar maritime industry, that its "natural resources and wildlife remain central to America’s economy today," and that it is "one of the most prodigious oil and gas regions in the world."
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, "Gulf of Mexico federal offshore oil production accounts for 14% of total U.S. crude oil production, and federal offshore natural gas production in the Gulf accounts for 5% of total U.S. dry production. Over 48% of total U.S. petroleum refining capacity is located along the Gulf coast, as well as 51% of total U.S. natural gas processing plant capacity."
The executive order continued, "The Gulf is also home to vibrant American fisheries teeming with snapper, shrimp, grouper, stone crab, and other species, and it is recognized as one of the most productive fisheries in the world, with the second largest volume of commercial fishing landings by region in the nation, contributing millions of dollars to local American economies."
Florida is one of the five states that border the gulf, as well as Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. These coastal states take in billions in tourism revenue every year from the gulf.
Trump signed the executive order that proclaimed, "The Gulf will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping America’s future and the global economy, and in recognition of this flourishing economic resource and its critical importance to our nation’s economy and its people, I am directing that it officially be renamed the Gulf of America."
Trump first made the proposal for the Gulf of America change at a press conference in Mar-a-Lago in January.
"We're going to change because we do most of the work there and it's ours," Trump stated. "It's appropriate, and Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country."
The executive order also demanded that the highest peak in North America be renamed after President William McKinley — the 25th president of the United States. The Alaskan mountain summit was first named after President McKinley in 1917.
In 2015, then-President Barack Obama approved the Department of the Interior's order to rename Mount McKinley in Alaska to Denali.
Trump wants to reverse Obama's action and rename the Alaskan mountain summit as Mount McKinley.
The executive order stated that McKinley "heroically led our nation to victory in the Spanish-American War. Under his leadership, the United States enjoyed rapid economic growth and prosperity, including an expansion of territorial gains for the nation."
The EO noted, "President McKinley championed tariffs to protect U.S. manufacturing, boost domestic production, and drive U.S. industrialization and global reach to new heights. He was tragically assassinated in an attack on our nation’s values and our success, and he should be honored for his steadfast commitment to American greatness."
Like McKinley, Trump has threatened other countries with tariffs as part of his "America First" strategy.
Trump has survived two assassination attempts.
Trump signed the executive order on Monday night. Now the secretary of the interior shall "take all appropriate actions" to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and rename Denali as Mount McKinley within 30 days.
The new names are to be updated in the Geographic Names Information System, agency maps, contracts, and other government documents.
Trump mentioned that both places would be renamed during his inauguration speech.
"America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on earth, inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world," Trump proclaimed.
"A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America — and we will restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs," President Trump said.
DeSantis gathered with other governors in the Emancipation Hall overflow viewing space in the U.S. Capitol building to watch Trump's inauguration.
As Blaze News reported on Monday, DeSantis has already pledged to ensure that Florida will be a significant partner in Trump's illegal immigration crackdown.

Florida sheriff warns illegal aliens to self-deport in 3 words; DeSantis vows Florida will back Trump's immigration crackdown
An outspoken Florida sheriff has issued a blunt warning to illegal immigrants in the Sunshine State to get out of the state before sweeping new deportation efforts go into effect. Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has proposed a whirlwind of propositions to crack down on illegal immigration and push President Donald Trump's stringent immigration policy.
Joined by DeSantis at a press conference regarding illegal immigration in Winter Haven, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd (R) declared that illegal immigrants should deport themselves out of the state of Florida to avoid time in prison.
'The mission is very simple: We need to end the illegal immigration crisis once and for all in these United States of America.'
"And I leave with this message: 'Southbound and down.' Do it yourself. You can self-deport and avoid a lot of prison sentence, but it's time. Southbound and down," Sheriff Judd said on Wednesday.
Judd proclaimed, "Florida needs to set the example for the other states and support the president [Trump] to get rid of these criminals who are victimizing our people."
During the press conference, Judd highlighted specific crimes carried out by illegal immigrants, including cases of murder, DUI manslaughter, and organized theft rings.
DeSantis declared that Florida will do everything in its power to execute Trump's crackdown on illegal immigrants.
"We in Florida have a sense of urgency to accomplish this mission," DeSantis stated. "The mission is very simple: We need to end the illegal immigration crisis once and for all in these United States of America."
Florida sued the Biden administration on several occasions, including over its "illegal" catch-and-release policies and alleged refusal to assist the state in purging noncitizens from voter rolls in the 2024 election.
DeSantis scheduled a special session to begin a week after Trump's inauguration to determine how the state would implement extensive rules to combat the immigration crisis. The special session would discuss how to secure funds for "detention, relocation, transportation infrastructure, local law enforcement support, and everything else needed for Florida to carry out this mission."
“State and local officials in Florida must help the Trump administration enforce our nation’s immigration laws,” DeSantis previously said. “In order to do that effectively, we are going to need legislation to impose additional duties on local officials and provide funding for those local officials. There also needs to be measures to hold people accountable for violating our anti-sanctuary policies and that Florida needs to make sure that we don’t have any lingering incentives for people to come into our state illegally.”
As Blaze News reported last week, DeSantis set the tone for other Republican governors by pushing legislation that will crack down on illegal immigration. DeSantis called for a state crime for migrants illegally entering the United States, requiring proof of U.S. residency to vote, and repealing in-state college tuition for illegal immigrant students.
The Orlando Sentinel reported that DeSantis penned a four-page memo to Florida legislative leaders that called for powers for the governor to suspend or criminally charge local officials in Florida who don’t train at least 10% of their law enforcement staff to detain and deport undocumented immigrants. DeSantis also wants powers to punish any Florida politician who doesn't impose his rigorous immigration rules that are likely coming.
Sheriffs Gregory Tony of Broward County and Ric Bradshaw of Palm Beach County have already proclaimed that their departments would not use officer resources for the mass deportation of illegal aliens, according to the Sun Sentinel.
Trump previously said his mass deportation endeavor would depend on local police.
“We’re going to be using local police because local police know them by name, by first name, second name, and third name. I mean they know them very well,” Trump told Time magazine in April.
When asked about local police departments potentially not participating in the deportations, Trump noted that those departments "won’t partake in the riches."
Another proposed immigration bill would require law enforcement agencies to identify noncitizens who are charged with crimes. Failure by law enforcement to comply could result in first-degree misdemeanor charges for sworn officers and third-degree felony charges against elected officials.
DeSantis wants a state immigration enforcement officer who would coordinate with federal immigration officials and supervise Florida's undocumented migrant relocation program.
Another proposal is for illegal aliens to be denied bail upon arrest under the assumption that they are a flight risk.
On Thursday, DeSantis assured Florida agencies that the state would provide enough funds to assist in the widespread deportation process. DeSantis hinted at the state government building new facilities to house illegal immigrants facing deportation.
Speaking of DeSantis undertaking the illegal alien crackdown, Trump stated, "Thank you, Ron, hopefully other governors will follow!"
