Leftist George Soros, known for funding organizations that undermine American freedoms while fueling divisive policies, is helping fund a group that has filed a lawsuit against Flordia’s popular Governor, Ron DeSantis. However, it appears that the Soros group is now facing scrutiny. Alianza Americas, a Soros’ Open Society Foundation-funded nonprofit, filed suit in September against DeSantis following his decision to send illegal immigrants to a sanctuary designated location; Martha’s Vineyard. Martha’s Vineyard claims to be a haven for illegals but bussed them all out within 48hrs of their arrival in the posh liberal haven. Americans concerned about the border crises...

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is under fire after a local news anchor from Florida accused the organization of sending out a fundraising email that appeared to be from Governor Ron DeSantis. But the Trump campaign says the email is fake. Alexander Bruesewitz, a conservative political strategist, also alleged that the fundraising email was fake. But he placed the blame among allies of DeSantis. “This is a FAKE,” Bruesewitz wrote on Twitter. “No official Trump PAC sent this email out. Pro-Ron DeSantis 2024 surrogates are spreading this lie all over the place."

Florida Gov. DeSantis is emerging as a bigger potential threat to President Biden than former President Trump, polls indicate. Though he’s not as well-known to voters overall, Florida Gov.

De Santis that, with a high degree of certainty, that Gov. Newsom's hair gel has...

Trump or DeSantis? It doesn't matter. Phantom voters will decide 2024. The phantoms are not voting for either. Those working deep in swing state voter rolls can tell you with 100% certainty that unless Trump or DeSantis wins with a 5%-to-18% margin in swing states, they will lose every one. Let's do some electioneering math. To win the presidency, about a dozen swing states matter — we all know who they are. Some will add Georgia, Virginia, and Arizona, some not. President Trump won in 2016 because he caught the leftists off guard. Perhaps even Trump was surprised on Election...
