DeSantis “reboot” resembles a company close to Chapter 11
Governor DeSantis has per national media, embarked on a reboot of his campaign given his sinking poll numbers and inability to win over GOP primary voters in key early states. Not only is the communications strategy shifting slightly but it looks like a campaign that’s acting like a business trying to avoid filing for Chapter […]
Can anti-LGBTQ+ demagoguery propel DeSantis to an Iowa Caucus win? It’s very possible…
It’s become quite fashionable within the chattering class to write Ron DeSantis off in the last few weeks. The same chattering class who felt Hillary Clinton would be finishing her second term about now and thought Joe Biden was done after New Hampshire in 2020. Personally, I don’t subscribe to this and would urge everyone […]
Paying attention to RFK Jr. is imperative to understanding the populist drift of the far left
He has been praised by Steve Bannon and appeared in conversation with Dr. Jordan Peterson. He’s regularly appeared on Newsmax and can count Jack Dorsey among his supporters. He’s gotten a co-endorsement (with Ron DeSantis!) from David Sacks. He’s parroted Russian talking points in terms of US’ foreign policy while expressed a level vaccine skepticism […]
Why is Francis Suarez running for President? A theory or two
While my initial reaction was to mock Miami Mayor Francis Suarez’s candidacy, some longer-term thinking and analytical thoughts based around conspiracy theories are now dominating my mind on this matter. The conspiracy theory holds that Suarez is facing an FBI Investigation and therefore is deflecting by running for President. That was part of my theory […]

Miami Mayor aka Ponzi Postalita Francis Suarez is a fraud
By Thomas Kennedy The City of Miami is an absolute dumpster fire. Aside from the evergreen issues of chronic flooding, lack of public transportation, skyrocketing housing costs, and rampant corruption, the city is being consumed by nonstop scandals. A few weeks ago, one of the most perennially corrupt characters in Miami politics, Commissioner Joe Carollo, […]
Rick Wilson’s must-read thread on No Labels lays it all out there
Privately, I’ve been increasingly concerned about the so-called “centrist,” “non-partisan” group No Labels whose alliances (and apparently funding sources) have become increasingly similar to Team DeSantis. No Labels has messed around in Florida before, getting involved in Dem primaries and I assume GOP ones as well. Tallahassee own Rick Wilson has done the leg work […]
Florida’s Day Without Immigrants
By Thomas Kennedy I think we might have seen one of the worst presidential campaign launches in United States history. Ron DeSantis took to Twitter Spaces to make his announcement and it was terrible. Several minutes of silence were broken by the sound of intense microphone feedback as soon as audio began. I literally turned […]
DeSantis and the Silicon Valley venture capital tech bros – a love affair that tells us a lot about the Governor’s strategy to win the GOP nomination
Governor DeSantis despite play acting as an official of great conviction doesn’t take a position on any issue unless money is involved. It’s for this reason, DeSantis is concerned about CRT, ESG, DEI, Crypto, etc. It’s because he’s being backed by some of the most influential and malign characters in Silicon Valley – Peter Thiel, […]
