Trump Wins FRC Straw Poll Over DeSantis 64% – 27%… Why Evangelicals Continue to Support Him

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“Former President Donald Trump has won the Family Research Council Action’s Pray Vote Stand Summit Straw Poll, netting almost 64% of the votes cast, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis coming in second, with 27% of the vote.

“I don’t think there’s any surprise based on what we’re seeing, but Donald Trump came in first,” Family Research Council Action Chairman Tony Perkins told Newsmax’s James Rosen Saturday afternoon, with Rosen breaking the news on X. “But Donald Trump came in first, with about 63% … 63.9% to be exact, and Ron DeSantis was second, with 27.3%. All the others were 2% or below.”

The results, Perkins said, came “because of their strong stand, taking on woke corporate America, fighting for faith, fighting for families; and that’s who’s going to be rewarded with votes, those who are willing to stand up and fight.”

Both candidates spoke at the organization’s summit, held this past week in Washington, D.C., and at the national summit convened by the Concerned Women of America. Both are evangelical advocacy groups.” (Courtesy Newsmax.com)

Why did these Evangelicals vote overwhelmingly for Trump in the above-mentioned Straw Poll?

Donald J. Trump leads with his heart.

As the Founder of the Family Research Council, Dr. James Dobson, after interviewing him before the 2016 presidential election, said, Trump is a baby Christian. He knows Who God is.

And, that is a very good thing.

Those of us who live in America’s Heartland, between the coasts, continue to support the man whom we elected in 2016 to the most powerful office in the Free World…because he is not a politician.

And, a lot of average Christian Americans continue to include him in our daily prayers.

Liberals who seem to spend their entire day on Social Media posting fake news stories, pulling “facts” out of their hindquarters, and posting anything and everything that they can, in order to attempt to stop Trump from becoming President again, are probably in diabetic shock from consuming too many Cheetos and donuts in their Mom’s basement, as they attempt to comprehend what I am writing.

Here’s the deal, Snowflakes…

None of the 91 Political Indictments, none of the fake news stories, Democrat-heavy polls, photoshopped pictures, and stupid Occupy Democrat Memes on Facebook are making any difference to average Americans.

The Democrat Elite and their Propaganda Arm, the Main Stream Media, as a result of their own regional bias toward the major metropolitan areas on the East and Left Coasts, which has been obvious to average Americans for the last several decades, continue through their sheer arrogance and hatred for the traditional American Way of Life, to distance themselves from the people whom they continue to claim that they “love”…Average Working Class Americans.

Yet, still they expect us to believe the Fake News which they are desperately trying to distribute in a vain attempt to keep Trump out of office and their unconstitutional Indictments which Liberal Trolls are posting about on Social Media ad nauseam, so that they and the rest of the “useful idiots”, in their shared madness, can get a do-over and demented feeble old Joe Biden will somehow miraculously remain President.

Average Americans do not care what Main Stream Media “journalists” and their masters in the Far Left Democratic Party think.

To put it mildly and in Marital Terms, which even the Liberal Trolls who inhabit President Trump’s Twitter Account can understand, Average Working Class Americans and the Democratic Party are no longer “evenly yoked”.

The Democrats became the party of the “Upper Crust” and Special Interest Group who continue to look down their noses at Americans who live here in “Flyover Country”.

The Democrats assumed, after reading their own press clippings, that all Americans wanted in 2016 and somehow, still want, the Progressive/Marxist Political Ideology and style of governance which Biden has practiced during his time as President.

That is why they are trying to jail the 45th President of the United States and, once again, rig the outcome of the upcoming Presidential Election.

If the Democrats on Capitol Hill believe that average Americans between the coasts will support the jailing of a former President who brought jobs and a booming economy back to America before the Chinese released COVID-9, they are sadly mistaken.

During my 64 years on God’s green Earth, I have never, EVER seen a former President of the United States so relentlessly assaulted by the press and members of both political parties on a daily basis like Donald J. Trump has been.

It has not worked, as this map from Reuters News, showing how a Trump/Biden Presidential Election, would play out if the election happened today

To some who will read this post, Trump’s enduring popularity will remain inexplicable.

To those of us who share the Faith of Our Fathers, no explanation is necessary.

That is why I join a multitude of my fellow Americans in praying daily for President Donald J. Trump.

Trump Beats DeSantis by 42% in CPAC Straw Poll

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“Former President Donald Trump topped the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) straw poll for the 2024 GOP nomination by a wide margin at the conservative conference Saturday.

Trump won 62% support in the poll, which was announced shortly before he was scheduled to speak to the crowd gathered at the Gaylord in Fort Washington, Maryland.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came in as second choice with 20% support. The third-place pick at 5% support was long-shot GOP candidate Perry Johnson, a businessman who attempted to run for governor in Michigan but was blocked from participating in the Republican primary.

Kari Lake, the Republican Arizona gubernatorial nominee in 2022, received the most support for vice presidential candidate with 20%. DeSantis received 14% support for the 2024 vice presidential nominee in the CPAC poll. Over 2,000 attendees completed the poll, organizers said.

Trump easily won the 2024 GOP presidential nomination straw polls at major CPAC gatherings in Orlando, Florida and Dallas, Texas last year. The former president, who launched his 2024 bid last November and who remains the most popular and influential politician in the GOP more than two years after leaving the White House, captured 69% of ballots cast in the anonymous online straw poll last August in Dallas and 59% in Orlando last February.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

I am not surprised by the vote at CPAC.

Trump was right…about everything.

In just over 2 years, Biden and his handlers have begun to turn the “Shining City Upon a Hill” into a Third World Socialist Barrio resembling Venezuela.

Even as I type this, America continues to face a supply chain problem affecting food, clothing, and other essential supplies.

Whether it is because they cannot find anyone willing to offload the ships sitting in the waters of our ports because of the labor shortage or if it has to do with some sort of blackmail by the Chinese, I do not know.

I do know that it is affecting our economy and hurting a lot of Americans’ jobs and paychecks who have continued working hard since before the entire Chinese Coronavirus Pandemic.

A non-functioning National Supply Chain can destroy a Sovereign Nation.

Just ask Venezuela.

During the Trump Administration, America was beginning to absolutely boom economically.

Now, we have have more people than ever sitting around waiting for some more “Free Money” from “Uncle Sugar”, a.k.a. #DementiaJoe instead of going out and getting a job.

The lines and poor service at fast food restaurants, grocery stores, and even in Walmarts from coast to coast bear witness to this mostrous decline in our economy.

So do the conrinuing high prices at the pump at gasoline stations across the Fruited Plains.

Out of control crime and inflation, young people not working, groomers “teaching” innocent children, thousands of illegals pouring across our Southern Border, a rapidly deteriorating President trying to shake hands with people who aren’t even tbere…children being taught to hate America and each other…nope…nothing to see here…move along.

Hold on. Let me answer for you Far Lrft TDS-suffering Democrats out there: But…but…Trump!!!!!

Yes, Donald J Trump can be his own worst enemy sometimes, but he was certainly turning this country around when the Wuhan Lab Leak happened.

Former President Trump was exactly right.

Joe Biden and the Democrat Elite, in their zeal to turn our Constitutional Republic into a “Democratic Socialist” country are attempting to push average Americans, the majority in our country, out of the way through tyrannical intimidation.

It is going to be up to average Americans, those of us whom Hillary Clinton referred to as “Deplorables” to take our country back.

In between now and then, we need to stand up and be counted, whether it is at school Board meetings protecting our children, talking to friends, family, and co-workers, or letting our opinions about the current Administration be known on Social Media.

We simply cannot remain idle and silent at this critical time.

AMERICA FIRST!

Sanders-Backed Andrew Gillum Wins Dem Nomination for Florida Governor Race

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Andrew-Gillum-DNC-Caro

Tonight, we proved what’s possible when people come together & show up to build FL into a better state for all. I’m truly honored to represent people across the state as the Democratic nominee — and I promise to stand up for everyday Floridians and the issues that matter most. – Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, Democratic Candidate for Governor of Florida

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump’s favored candidate, GOP Rep. Ron DeSantis, defeated state Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam in Florida’s Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday after riding the wave of the president’s enthusiastic endorsement to victory.

Meanwhile, the Bernie Sanders-backed Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum pulled off a major upset in defeating a half a dozen rivals, including former Rep. Gwen Graham, in the Democratic primary.

DeSantis and Gillum will face each other in November’s general election.

During a celebration event in Orlando, DeSantis thanked the president for “viewing me as somebody who could be a great leader for Florida.”

“Our victory is a good victory, anyways,” DeSantis said, complimenting Putnam on a hard-fought race. “But man, to beat someone of his caliber is a big, big deal.”

The president repeatedly implored voters to support DeSantis over Putnam. Trump offered his congratulations on Twitter.

“Such a fantastic win for Ron DeSantis and the people of the Great State of Florida,” Trump tweeted. “Ron will be a fantastic Governor. On to November!”

Gillum, Tallahassee’s progressive mayor backed by the Democratic-socialist Sanders, hopes to be the first black governor of Florida. His win came as a surprise, as Graham, the daughter of former Florida governor and Sen. Bob Graham, led in pre-election polls.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic socialist star running for New York’s 14th district, praised Gillum for staking out liberal positions by supporting Medicare for all, legalizing marijuana and abolishing ICE.

“The progressive movement is transforming the country – and he proved that again tonight,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.

…During a Fox News-sponsored debate in June, DeSantis played up Trump’s backing of his campaign, expressing doubt that Putnam adequately supported Trump. “I am proud to have the endorsement of President Trump in this race,” DeSantis said.

DeSantis, 39, is an Iraq War veteran and decorated military lawyer who has served in the U.S. House since 2013. He is a graduate of Yale University and Harvard Law School.

…Trump narrowly defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in Florida in the 2016 presidential race by less than 2 percentage points.

Allow me to clue you in concerning Mayor Gillum. Here is where he stands on some of the issues.

IMMIGRATION – Andrew supports a comprehensive immigration overhaul that includes abolishment of ICE in its current form to be replaced with a more compassionate and focused agency that actually keeps us safer. Donald Trump has turned ICE into a police and child separation agency — not a border enforcement agency that treats people humanely and compassionately. A decision between security or compassionate immigration policy is a false choice; we can have them both, and Andrew promises to fight for that as Governor.

GUN SAFETY (I.E. CONTROL) – He led marches on Florida’s state capital arm-in-arm with college and high school students to demand real action on this national gun violence epidemic. He helped register high school students to vote in Broward County — only miles away from Parkland — to ensure those students have their voices heard this year. He has met with students, families, and community members affected by daily incidents of gun violence across the state, including in Tallahassee.

HEALTHCARE – Andrew believes that healthcare should be a fundamental right, not a privilege. Instead, extreme politicians refuse to acknowledge that Floridians struggle every day to keep themselves and their families from going bankrupt due to the lack or cost of healthcare. Andrew believes that Senator Sanders’ Medicare for All plan will help lower costs and expand coverage to more Floridians. Gillum has promised to fight the new health care premium increases that are a result of President Trump, Rick Scott and Congressional Republicans trying to attack Obamacare.

Beginning in 2015, the FBI launched an undercover investigation into local corruption among public figures in Tallahassee. They put an undercover operative in place who hobnobbed among the rich and powerful as an Atlanta Developer named Mike Miller, who was there pitching plans for revitalizing Downtown with a project costing millions of dollars.

Per USAToday.com, in an article posted on 8/24/2017…

Many of Miller’s liaisons were facilitated by a local lobbyist, Adam Corey, and his associate Nick Lowe, a former Tallahassee Police Department officer. The duo set up the meeting at the Power Plant Café – where expanding the redevelopment area was discussed – as well as others with county and city officials, including Corey’s friend Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, who is running for governor.

…Two weeks before he met with Mike Miller, Mayor Gillum introduced former president Bill Clinton to a group of local Democrats at an exclusive backyard fundraiser.

The former commander in chief, wearing a blue pin-striped suit and pink tie, boasted about his wife’s success with black Southern voters and posed for pictures at $2,700 a pop. Gillum, already a key part of Hillary Clinton’s campaign and on her short list for appointments, stood behind the former president. His political stock was soaring

A year later, Gillum, 38, is a top candidate for Florida governor, but no one is talking much about the Clintons anymore. Everyone wants to know about that mid-May meeting over tapas and drinks with the undercover agent.

The mayor’s office has acknowledged Gillum met with Miller, an appointment with the undercover agent was noted on his calendar. His city commission colleague Scott Maddox, former head of the state Democratic Party, also hasn’t said whether he met the mystery developer.

Mayor Gillum’s Former Campaign Treasurer has been issued a Federal Subpoena. However details as to the corruption that the Feds are looking into are unknown at this point.

Mayor Gillum remains silent on the subject.

Florida is a unique state, there is no doubt about that.

It is famous for its “Snowbirds”, tourists and transplants from the Northeast who come down to the Sunshine State to vacation or to relocate.

And, of course. there is also a sizable Hispanic Population in the Southern portion of the state.

Looking at Mayor Gillum’s victory last night, it appears that there are a lot of Democrats who want to be a part of Gillum’s “Democratic Socialist Paradise”.

I am certain that the “Old Money Democrats” in Florida did not take Gillum seriously.

After all, they had the daughter of a Former Governor running against him.

The problem for the old guard in the Democratic Party is that the swing to the left of the Political Spectrum which they started has traveled all the way to the end of the left side, replacing Old Fashioned Liberalism with Marxism disguised as “Democratic Socialism”.

And now, the Democratic Elite in Florida has become a victim of its own device.

In their rush for Social Programs, Social Justice, and Special Interest, they created a generation of voters who, just like the silly folks in the Geico Commercials, want MORE.

However, the joke’s on them.

Marxism never works. It is always the Politicians in the Central Government who prosper. Not the average workers.

That is why it remains just a theory.

Rosenstein Refuses to Answer Because of “Classified Information”…Classified Why?

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

wray-rosenstein-whisper-ap-ps-180628_hpMain_4x3_992

We are sick and tired of the DOJ giving Congress the runaround. As a separate branch of government, we have a right to get information. – Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH)

CNSNews.com reports that

In response to two specific questions–did the Department of Justice or the FBI spy on the Trump campaign, and did anyone in the Obama administration direct confidential informants to make contact with the campaign–Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday he was “not permitted to discuss any classified information.”

“Let me ask you this,” Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) asked Rosenstein.

“What did the DOJ or FBI do in terms of collecting information, spying or surveillance on the Trump campaign, be it via (FBI informant) Stefan Halper, or anybody else working on behalf of the agencies?” DeSantis asked Rosenstein.

“As you know, Congressman, I’m not permitted to discuss any classified information in an open setting, but I can assure you, we’re working with oversight committees and we’re producing all relevant evidence to allow them to answer this question,” Rosenstein replied.

DeSantis again: “Let me ask you this then: Did the Obama administration, anybody in the administration, direct anybody — Halper or anybody else — to make contact with anyone associated with the Trump campaign?

“As I said Congressman, I appreciate, obviously, the — I understand your interest, but I’m not permitted to discuss classified information,” Rosenstein said again.

“Well, we want the documents, and I know we’re in a back and forth on that,” DeSantis said. “But the American people need to know, were the counterintelligence powers of the Obama administration unleashed against Trump’s campaign — if that was done, was it done inappropriate?”

Strzok text message: ‘We’ll stop it’

One of the most incriminating text messages sent by FBI agent Peter Strzok to his lover Lisa Page was not made public until the Justice Department’s inspector general released his report on June 14.

But Rosenstein told the committee, “I want to assure you and the American people, we’re not withholding anything embarrassing.”

The FBI did not find the message, but the inspector general did, Rep. DeSantis noted.

“And so we’re asking you to produce stuff, and obviously we’re expecting a good faith effort,” DeSantis told Rosenstein. “You guys didn’t find it, and maybe someone else deleted it or something happened before you guys, but he was able to find it, you didn’t. So it was very disappointing to see that text message there.”

The text message was a response to FBI attorney Lisa Page, who wanted reassurance that Trump would never become president. Strzok replied, “No. No, he’s not. We’ll stop it.”

What “classified information”?

Classified because of what?

That it incriminates and illuminates the Deep State Democratic Operatives in the DOJ and FBI even further as regards their sanctioned operation to keep Donald J. Trump from becoming president?

At this point we can only speculate, because, as I have previously written, the DOJ and the FBI are purposefully dragging their feet in releasing the documents which the House of Representatives has requested.

Call me paranoid, but Dep. Director Rosenstein’s smugness in answering the tough questions thrown at him yesterday seemed to be the reaction of a professional bureaucrat, not someone interested in “Truth, Justice, and the American Way” to borrow a phrase from the opening of the “Superman” Television Series which I used to watch with my Daddy at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday mornings.

But, I digress…

I wonder what sort of incriminating revelations are hiding in the documents which they have not handed over, yet?

Evidence about Hillary Clinton’s E-mailGate and FoundationGate?

Hillary’s BFF Huma Abedin passing classified information to her relatives in the Muslim Brotherhood?

Information about the whole FISA Dossier Fiasco?

Conversations between the DOJ and FBI Hierarchy and the 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, about the surveillance activities involving the Trump Campaign?

Smoochy-smoochy e-mails between Strzok and Page?

A picture of J. Edgar Hoover in a dress?

Just kidding. (Try to un-see that.)

As Trey Gowdy boldly said yesterday, it is time for the DOJ and FBI to produce the documents and time for Mueller to end his dog and pony show designed for no other purpose than to bring down the President of the United States of American and to overturn the will of the American People.

Think about this: A Deputy Director of the FBI basically told members of the House of Representatives that he did not know diddly-squat about the activities of those under him.

If you believe that, you might be interested in attending the new Maxine Waters School of Grace and Charm.

This country is indeed being purposefully divided by those behind all of these distractions designed to disrupt the presidency of Donald J. Trump.

It is time to call a halt to them and to get on with the business of Making America Great Again.

Until He Comes,
