Forget about Disney princesses. Mickey Mouse might have just proved who’s the real king of Florida. The Walt Disney Co. used a legal clause that name checks King Charles III to apparently thwart Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ attempt to strip the company of its self-governance power in the state. For nearly a year, state legislators, encouraged by DeSantis, have sought to exert more control over the company’s Florida-based theme parks by passing a bill that would dissolve Disney’s special tax district. DeSantis also wanted to rename the area the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and plant a new board of...

52 years ago, seven out of nine robed men in Washington, D.C. banged the gavel and declared a death sentence upon what would turn out to be 65 million (and counting) human beings in America. I refer to the infamous Roe v. Wade decision of the Supreme Court of January 22, 1973. And they twisted plain language to usher in this death sentence.

TALLAHASSEE Florida Republican leaders on Monday unveiled a sweeping immigration proposal that seeks to strip Gov. Ron DeSantis of much of his authority to oversee immigration — an opening salvo that sets up a showdown between the Legislature and the once overwhelmingly dominant governor. If adopted, the legislative changes — pushed by House Speaker Daniel Perez and Senate President Ben Albritton — would render DeSantis virtually powerless over immigration enforcement in Florida. All that authority would go to Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson and his office, which would be armed with more than $500 million to help enforce federal immigration laws...

National political correspondent Maggie Haberman signaled Friday that President-elect Trump likely doubled down on Pete Hegseth as his pick to lead the Pentagon after support for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) as an alternative fell short. “What changed was a couple of things. One was… Trump could not find a single person in his orbit, or even really outside of it, who liked this idea of making Ron DeSantis — the governor of Florida — the Defense secretary choice,” she added. DeSantis, Trump’s formal GOP primary rival who was floated as a top contender, said he was “seriously considering” the...

DeSantis naming Lara Trump to fill Rubio’s seat wouldn’t be the most corrupt appointment from a governor like Rod Blagojevich did when considering candidates to fill Barack Obama’s seat. Ted Kennedy. Because the younger Kennedy was too young to take up the remainder of the term family patriarch Joseph Kennedy instructed Gov. Foster Furcolo to name a family friend as placeholder. Say what you will about Joe’s tactics, but Teddy won the seat fair and square in the 1962 midterm elections and held it until his death in 2009.

Drama continues about DeSantis' next move as the money moves away from him. Did Florida’s Governor fumble his shot to run the Pentagon? That’s what investors in a prominent prediction market seem to believe Saturday morning.

President-elect Donald Trump is set to attend the Army-Navy football game, which will take place on December 14 in Landover, Maryland, according to a source familiar with the plans. The highly anticipated game is a traditional rivalry between the United States Military Academy and the United States Naval Academy. Joining Trump at the game is expected to be Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who served in the United States Navy as a JAG officer. While it is not confirmed if their trips to the game are related, it is noteworthy that DeSantis is reportedly being considered as a potential replacement for...

For a host of reasons, it became convenient for progressives to suggest that large numbers were fleeing Florida in search of a better life. When Florida governor Ron DeSantis was a GOP presidential frontrunner, liberal Democrats dug up every scrap of information suggesting he was an ineffective governor, noting that thousands were fleeing his state as a result of his supposedly poor governance. When Trump became the GOP nominee, the attack on Trump’s adopted home state continued. Hundreds if not thousands of articles were generated implying that Trump’s adopted home state was such a disaster that there was a mass...

The 61-year-old joined “The View” last Thursday and added to the hosts’ discussion about Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis, signing the “Don’t Say Gay” bill last year. He derided anti-drag prejudice after co-host Ana Navarro shared her support for those performers. “If you’re an enemy of drag, you’re an enemy of mine,” Lopez declared.

Former President Donald Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris by double digits in Florida — once a considered a battleground state — according to a University of North Florida Public Opinion Research Lab (PORL) survey released Monday. The survey, taken among 977 likely Florida voters, showed 53 percent expressing support of Trump this election cycle. Harris came in ten points behind, garnering just 43 percent support. Two percent said they would vote for another candidate, and two percent remain unsure. The survey noted they included “blurters” in the final results:

Joe Biden did not exit the 2024 presidential race of his own volition. Anybody paying attention knows that his wife certainly didn't want him to stop running for a second term. Her ambition was most likely what drove him to run in the last election and she was still his most vocal cheerleader when the rest of the Dems were jumping ship after his disastrous debate against Donald Trump. The question on a lot of people's minds since then is whether Old Joe himself has been upset that he was tweeted into political irrelevance. ... Biden has done a few...

Wednesday on CNN, network contributor Scott Jennings derided Vice President Kamala Harris for her comments criticizing Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) amid Hurricane Milton’s track to his state’s west coast. Jenning called Harris’ move a “big campaign mistake,” noting that Harris’ comments contradicted President Joe Biden’s remarks about the Florida governor. “In all of your public communications, no matter what you’re doing, you have to always show that American people that you have their fellow citizens in your heart,” Jennings said. “I mean, this is the kind of historic storm that some people aren’t going to survive it. There’s going to...

Kamala Harris is so lost and confused that she needs help completing a simple briefing with the assistance of her handlers. Even worse, she cannot keep it a secret anymore. As NBC News reported, Harris and her boss Joe Biden took part in a briefing on Wednesday regarding preparations for Hurricane Milton as it bears down on Florida and updates on recovery efforts from the deleterious impacts of Hurricane Helene. As TGP readers know, Milton is expected to bring widespread destruction to the western side of Florida, particularly the Tampa Bay and Sarasota areas. Those who do not flee these...

Hurricane Helene makes the ILA action 'simply unacceptable.' Florida’s Governor is launching a potential end-run around a work stoppage by the International Longshoremen’s Association, saying cargo ships bringing imports that aren’t being offloaded can bring their goods to Florida.“There are ships that have nothing to do with these negotiations. They may need a place to be able to come and we just want to send the message: You can come to the state of Florida,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said during a media availability in Anna Maria.The Governor said the Florida National Guard and Florida State Guard “will be deployed to...
