By Jackson Bakich The Founding Fathers were brilliant. We can debate their personal actions, but what we cannot debate is the effectiveness of the government they created. Spanning only 247 years, the United States has become a world superpower in a very short amount of time by history’s standards. I do have a critique, however, […]

Recently, Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) sent a letter to Senate leadership urging that funding for Israel “not be leveraged for more Ukraine funding.” However, it appears no action was taken. Now, Sen.

Representative Cory Mills (R-FL), one of 26 Republicans to hold out against Representative Tom Emmer (R-MN), told The Floridian publisher Javier Manjarres that he would be sticking with Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL).

Washington, D.C.- It's all but over. Rep. Emmer, who no appears to have the votes needed,  should win the support of the GOP House Conference in the Republican-led House of Representatives. House Republicans first elected Kevin McCarthy of California, who was eventually ousted by Florida’s Matt Gaetz, and later failed to elect Ohio’s Jim Jordan.  […]

On X (Twitter), State Representative Randy Fine (R), a long-time ally of Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), announced he is endorsing former President Donald Trump's reelection campaign in 2024.

In perhaps a significant – but not shocking – moment, Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) has endorsed Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) for Speaker of the House. This is not the first time that Rep. Roy has given Rep. Donalds the nod. In January during former Speaker McCarthy’s eventual election process, Rep. Roy nominated the Florida congressman […]

Washington, D.C.- Members of the U.S. Congress from both sides of the political spectrum have expressed their support for Maria Corina Machado following her historic landslide primary election victory in Venezuela.  Machado is the frontrunner for a coalition of parties seeking to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from power.  President Maduro carries an extensive human […]

Representative Vern Buchanan (R-FL) railed against the inadequacies of President Joe Biden (D) and his administration’s policy concerning the southern border. Recent figures from the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) demonstrated that 169 people on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) watchlist have been arrested at the border, with 18 of them coming in September […]

Should Israel successfully destroy Hamas in its war, Iran would still be a threat thanks to the Biden Administration's negotiations with the regime there.

Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) and his Republican colleagues in the Senate sent a letter to Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) demanding that federal funding for Israel “not be leveraged for more Ukraine funding.” According to the Wall Street Journal, President Joe Biden (D) prepared to request $100 billion in […]

Among the eight Republicans running for Speaker of the House, Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) stands out. Not only for potentially being the first African-American Speaker but because of his conservative bona fides and momentum within Congress. Rep. Donalds appeared on Fox and Friends First to discuss what his priorities would be if elected Speaker, including the spending, border, Ukraine, […]

Washington, D.C.- Florida Representative Cory Mills (R) has filed a resolution criticizing President Joe Biden’s response to the Israel-Hamas war.   The resolution alleges President Biden’s delayed response to the flight shortage out of Israel due to the war effectively left many American citizens stranded in the middle of a war.  Israel declared war on Hamas […]

On Oct. 17, a hospital in Gaza was hit by a rocket. Immediately the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were blamed for the destruction, but the IDF claimed that it was a misfire by Hamas terrorists.

It would “redirect the funds the Biden […]

In a shocking display that some would consider political suicide, the eight Republicans who voted for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) ouster have said that they are prepared to accept “censure, suspension, or removal from the Conference” in order to elect Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) as Speaker. Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) led the charge as […]

The ongoing fight to elect a Speaker among House Republicans while the world seemingly burns is making voters angry. Representative Greg Steube (R-FL) made a lengthy appearance on Fox Business's Mornings with Maria, where this became a topic of discussion, warning the perception of Republicans as inept could cost them in the 2024 Elections. Host Maria Bartiromo began by […]

The nuclear capabilities of Iran seem only to grow stronger. Their funding of proxy militias has similarly increased. Is it the fault of President Trump pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, or President Obama, who sent $1.7 billion in cash to them that they used for nuclear enrichment and militia funding?
