Florida man Ron DeSantis is at an all-time low in GOP delegate number predictions, dropping more than 400 since declaring his candidacy, according to ‘Race to the WH,’ which tracks the latest GOP polling data.
DeSantis was predicted to receive around 1,413 delegates as late as February 25 this year, leading former President Donald Trump by almost 400. Since then, support for DeSantis has dropped precipitously, with the Governor now forecasted to receive only 405 delegate votes, down from 834 on May 25 – the day after his “historic screw-up” presidential campaign launch on Twitter spaces.
Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, is leading the Republican primary race in 49 US states and is expected to receive as many as 2051 delegate votes in a head-to-head with DeSantis: far more than the necessary 1,234 to win the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
Worse still for DeSantis, Trump is predicted to attain a “decisive” victory in his home state of Florida, where the former President is predicted to receive 45 percent of the vote and gain 125 delegates.
This comes as the latest statistical blow to the Governor of Florida, who had to change the subject to the amount of corporate cash he has received when asked about his poor polling last week. The Governor is also expected to hold crisis talks with donors next week to insist that he is playing the “long game” and not just getting thrashed.

A new PAC linked to the Club for Growth – recently referred to as the “Club for China Growth” by Donald Trump – is funding a $3.6 million advertisement campaign to halt the former President ‘s efforts to become the 2024 Republican nominee.
The PAC known as ‘Win it Back’ will begin airing commercials in the key states of Iowa and South Carolina on Tuesday. The ads feature an overweight, single man – who looks more like a Lincoln Project supporter than a Trump fan – struggling to start a lawnmower while suggesting “[w]e definitely need someone that can freakin’ win,” and complaining that his sister blacklisted him for his one-time support of the 45th President.
David McIntosh and Adam Rozanksy, two leading members of the Club for Growth, are listed as agents for the new PAC. McIntosh openly announced the Club for Growth’s total opposition to Trump earlier this year, stating that “the party should be open to another candidate.”
Similar tactics have been deployed against Donald Trump before by the Club for Growth. The group spent around $1 million against the him in the run up to the 2016 presidential election. The group also spent and campaigned heavily against US Senator from Ohio JD Vance, Trump’s choice for the position in the Republican primaries last year.
“It’s not surprising that David Macintosh, a pro-China, America last, failed congressman wannabe is organizing another swampy D.C. insider super PAC,” told Chris LaCivita, a senior consultant for the Trump campaign, to POLITICO.
“Their goal is to maintain their shady influence over Washington because they know President Trump stands in their way as he protects Americans from these vultures,” LaCivita added.

Win it Back PAC is merely the latest anti-Trump political group to be formed before the 2024 presidential election. Top Democrats and Republicans met at a “Uniparty summit” in Washington D.C. last month to discuss how to stop Trump’s re-election in 2024.

Self-declared January 6th “orchestrator” Ray Epps is planning to sue Fox News for defamation, demanding an on-air apology and a retraction of former primetime host Tucker Carlson‘s claims that Epps may have been working for federal law enforcement at the time of the 2021 “mostly peaceful protest” at the U.S. Capitol.
“We informed Fox in March that if they did not issue a formal on-air apology that we would pursue all available avenues to protect the Eppses’ rights… [t]hat remains our intent,” told Michael Teter, Epps’s legal counsel, to The New York Times.
Teter himself has come under scrutiny, with Revolver News reporting his links to ‘Facts First USA’, “a nakedly partisan organization targeting the agenda of the so-called ‘MAGA Majority’ in Congress. The President of Facts First USA is none other than the disgraced Democrat/Clinton machine hatchet man David Brock. For those unfamiliar, Brock’s resume includes founding the Soros funded Media Matters, a so-called ‘watchdog’ group that watches conservative media 24/7 and excerpts ‘gotcha’ clips for political purposes. Brock’s current Superpac ran an 80 million dollar opposition research campaign for Biden, and the New York Times described Brock’s former group Correct the Record as ‘Hillary Clinton’s own personal media watch dog.'”
Carlson ran a number of segments on Tucker Carlson Tonight, which sought to highlight many of the inconsistencies around Ray Epps, such as the fact he was not arrested after video footage showed him shouting “we need to go into the Capitol” as well as boasting via text that he “orchestrated” the US Capitol riots.
Carlson recently claimed that he interviewed Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, who told him the Jan 6th crowed was “filled” with federal agents. Fox News chose not to air the interview, and fired Carlson before he could show the footage to the world.

A front group being linked to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign is being charged with a “desperate” dirty tricks attempt to portray former president Donald Trump as a “transgender trailblazer,” with leaflets “thanking” him for having “allowed a biological male to compete in the Miss Universe competition in Canada” over a decade ago appearing in Iowa mailboxes.
“Desperate times call for desperate measures,” wrote Iowa blogger Laura Belin, who first reported the delivery of the gay leaflets on Saturday. It is unclear how many homes the leaflets have been delivered to, but the imprint reads ‘Paid for by Advancing Our Values’ – a front group registered on June 27th, 2023.
The DeSantis camp recently released a gay attack ad against former President Trump, but used an anonymous Twitter account to release it. DeSantis himself then had to run to the Fox Corp-owned Outkick website to explain the now-deleted meme.
The “dirty tricks” campaign is straight out of the playbook of DeSantis campaign chief Jeff Roe – whose firm is under investigation for campaign fraud in Nevada. Roe championed Senator Ted Cruz’s own dirty tricks campaign in Iowa in 2016, which won him the state primary but ended up hurting him in the long run.
“From the false alert the campaign sent out that Ben Carson was suspending his campaign as the Iowa caucuses began to the voter-violation mailer that the Iowa secretary of state condemned to a Photoshop-altered image of Marco Rubio and Barack Obama, they have pointed to Roe’s hidden hand in supposedly guiding Cruz into the gutter.”
The DeSantis War Room previously attempted to tie Trump to the LGBT lobby by sharing a now-deleted video of him saying he would “do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens” and claiming it as evidence he supports Pride Month. The context of Trump’s comments, issued in response to the murder of 49 people at an Orlando gay club by a Muslim terrorist, was not mentioned.
‘The Campaign Trail’.
Raheem Kassam, editor-in-chief of The National Pulse, analyzed the tactics – which DeSantis himself endorsed as “fair game” – on episode two of The Campaign Trail podcast released this weekend.
“[DeSantis is] taking an incident from, what, 12, 13 years ago, something to do with the Miss America pageant… and saying, ‘OK, well we need to hold Donald Trump accountable to that 2011 or 2012 standard… “On the other hand, the DeSantis team will tell you ‘Yes, DeSantis did listen to Fauci… and he did try to ban interstate travel into Florida, and he did mask up, and he did kill that old veteran that he put on television to have the vaccine… but then he course-corrected, so it’s fine, so we don’t need to deal with that’ – and that was only a couple of years ago.”
“The way [the DeSantis team] campaign, it’s not coherent, it doesn’t flow, and that’s what really works about the Trump stuff, the authenticity just flows – and this stuff, where they’re attacking one thing on one basis, but then saying that they’re allowed to do it when it’s some other topic, I’ve got to tell you, not only does it not work, it screams desperation,” Kassam explained.

Former President Donald J. Trump launches his Farmers for Trump group in Iowa, and is expected to insist on his status as “the most pro-farmer president you’ve ever had in the White House,” while touting the achievements from his first term, when the “Department of Agriculture cut seven old regulations for every one new regulation, saving farmers and taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars a year.”
Trump is also expected to blast his primary opponent Ron DeSantis, at length, referring to him as a “globalist sellout and Paul Ryan acolyte who’s in the pocket of his Wall Street donors at the Club for No Growth,” according to remarks seen by The National Pulse, ahead of the speech.
“DeSanctus opposed my China tariffs, and he heartlessly opposed my $28 billion dollars in relief payments to protect our farmers from Chinese abuses. While DeSanctus sided with the Communists in China, I sided with the Farmers in America,” the former President is expected to say.
“Every Iowan also needs to know that Ron DeSanctimonious totally despises Iowa Ethanol. He has been fighting for years to kill every single job supported by this vital industry.”
In juxtaposition, Trump will tout his record repealing Obama’s Waters of the United States rule, as well as his achievements killing NAFTA as well as pointing out Joe Biden’s record which he will call “a non-stop war on American Agriculture.”

Big Tech corporations including Amazon, Apple, Google, and Facebook spent at least a quarter a billion dollars killing legislation aimed at regulating their censorship of conservatives, as well as generally reining in their power.
Republicans concerned about censorship worked alongside Democrats championing unions to pass bills with bipartisan majorities. None of them made it to the floor of either chamber of Congress, despite public support for regulating Big Tech.
Democrats are reluctant to aggravate Silicon Valley at a time when Big Tech continues to toss cash at the party and wage and ideological war on alleged “hate speech” and “misinformation”. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi raised millions from tech bosses before breaking a promise to put the bills before the full House of Representatives as Speaker. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer privately assured tech donors that the Senate bills could not overcome filibustering – possibly influenced by the employment of one of his daughters by Facebook and another by Amazon, for whom she is a registered lobbyist.
Congressional Republicans display compromised, too. Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s top fundraiser and confidante Jeff Miller counts Amazon and Apple as two of his biggest clients. One of McCarthy’s first acts upon replacing Pelosi was to demote Rep. Ken Buck, who had led Republican efforts on Big Tech regulation, in favor of Rep. Thomas Massie, a “libertarian” who insists Big Tech should not be subject to “Big Government”.

A majority of likely US voters – 55 percent – disapprove of Hunter Biden’s ‘sweetheart’ plea deal reached with the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to data published by Rasmussen Reports.
Of the 55 percent who disapprove, 41 percent “strongly disapprove” of the deal that saw President Biden’s son avoid jail time for misdemeanor federal tax charges of up to $1.2 million and for illegally possessing a firearm as a drug user after lying on a federal firearms purchase form. A further 14 percent answered they “somewhat disagree[d].”
Only 37 percent of Americans approve of the plea bargain, including 19 percent – around one in five voters – who “strongly approve.”
Favorable Treatment?
More than two-thirds of the American electorate – 67 percent – believe that it is likely Hunter received favorable treatment from federal prosecutors as a result of being the son of the President of the United States, including 49 percent who believe that it is “very likely.”
Less than a third of voters – 28 percent – thought otherwise, believing Hunter’s plea deal had little to do with nepotism, though only 13 percent answered: “Not at all likely.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis used $92 million of coronavirus stimulus funding from the U.S. tax payer for an interchange that will greatly enhance the value of a gated community being developed by one of his major donors, the Iranian-born, British-educated ICI Homes owner Morteza ‘Mori’ Hosseini.
Hosseini has dished out at least tens of thousands to DeSantis’s campaigns, as well as loaning him a golf simulator worth $30,000, and providing private jets for the use of the Governor and his wife Jill, who prefers to go by Casey. Hosseini and the Republican presidential hopeful have “a long, close relationship” due in no small part to the Iranian-American’s willingness to make his jet available at short notice.
Conveniently, Hosseini was also appointed to the University of Florida Board of Trustees, while his sister Maryam Ghyabi-White was appointed by Governor DeSantis to the same St. John’s River Water Management District Governing Board which approved the interchange costing federal tax payers $92 million. Morteza’s wife, Forough Hosseini – a senior vice president at ICI Homes – was also appointed to the Florida Children and Youth Cabinet, completing a DeSantis donor swamp hat-trick with the Hosseini family.
Asked about the near $100M injection from Governor DeSantis, Hosseini said he would’ve gone through with the plan anyway, but “it certainly helps.”

President Joe Biden suffers from shallow or paused breathing in his sleep and requires a “continuous positive airway pressure” (CPAP) device in order to assist him with his “sleep apnea,” the White House admitted after reporters noticed the President had indentations on his face, caused by the straps of the device being tightened around the President’s head during the night.
The news comes shortly after a new poll determined that a whopping 83 percent of Americans admitted to having “concerns” about whether Biden has the necessary mental or physical health to be running the country.
Scoop: Biden has begun using a CPAP machine, per sources. The device is to treat longstanding sleep apnea, one of the people said. As Biden departed the White House this morning for Chicago, indentations from the CPAP straps could be seen on his face. Story by @jendeben and me. pic.twitter.com/U4Chkp16Pq
Those suffering from sleep apnea can even stop breathing for up to a minute while sleeping, before gasping or snoring themselves awake. A CPAP machine pumps air into a mask over the mouth and nose during sleep, keeping airways open.
This is merely the latest example of the President’s physical and mental health being called into question, and once again contradicts his physician’s claim that Biden is “a healthy, vigorous, 80-year-old male who is fit to successfully execute duties of the presidency.”

Paul Ryan, the Republican Speaker turned Fox News executive, says he will “never again” support Donald Trump, despite admitting the former president could win back the White House.
“[L]ook, it’s a disaster if we nominate Trump, you know I think that, I’ve been saying this for a long time,” he told CNBC on Wednesday. “But Liz [Cheney] is right: he could win.”
Ryan’s interview, below, is likely to add fuel to the dumpster fire at Fox News, which has cratered in viewership since unceremoniously turfing our prime time host Tucker Carlson, as well as turning its back on Donald Trump.
“I’m for anybody not named Trump,” Ryan said – correcting himself, when pressed, to say he meant any Republican not named Trump. “I think we lose with him,” the former Speaker continued. “We haven’t won anything with him since he first won in 2016. We lost the House in ’18, the presidency in ’20, the Senate in ’20, and we could have won the Senate in 2022 but for him,” he added – failing to mention that Republicans won back the House that same year.
Asked if he thought the Republicans could win without America First conservatives brought aboard by Trump, Ryan admitted that as a “Never Again Trumper,” a large portion of U.S. conservatives now despise him.
Speaking on Tuesday in New Hampshire, Trump blasted the D.C. uniparty, and asserted that the Republican Party is “never going back to the days of Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, and Jeb Bush.”
