Republican presidential primary: More at stake than just the White House - Roll Call

Republican primary voters cannot let their loyalty to Donald Trump make them forget about controlling the House and Senate.

Trump has an “independent problem” that isn’t going away. His win-loss record in the past three elections, especially with independents, may well be his Achilles’ heel in the primaries if his opponents can articulate not only why winning in 2024 is so crucial but also how they can bring back independents to the GOP. https://rollcall.com/2023/07/12/republican-presidential-primary-more-at-stake-than-just-the-white-house/

As of July 1, in addition to Vermont, four other states’ IDs will face extra scrutiny from police, as they may provide forms of identification to applicants who do not give proof of citizenship or legal status:

Delaware
Connecticut
Hawaii
Rhode Island
The law directs Florida police officers to write a ticket to anyone they pull over who has what is now recognized as an invalid license.

Thought this was a good interview

DeSantis is taking incoming on all sides:

• Democrats who he has made irrelevant in Florida
• Globalists who are scared they will be held accountable like Disney and do not want to see DeSantis bring eVerify in (like he has in Florida) and cut off their supply of cheap illegal labor. Heck they would have to pay their legal workforce higher wages.
• Trump and his machine have launched a relentless campaign (offer false or unfair or both) on DeSantis
• All the other presidential hopefuls so weak they do not present a threat to Trump and are attacking DeSantis to try and make themselves relevant.

Florida Democrats ended their annual summer fundraising dinner with a drag show, a move designed to highlight what the party said is intolerance by Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board is slamming Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for signing a sweeping mandatory E-Verify bill into law that prevents industries across the state from hiring illegal aliens over Americans and legal immigrants.

As Breitbart News reported in May, Florida became the largest state in the nation to require all employers with 25 or more employees to screen its workforce through the federal government’s E-Verify system — ensuring that all new hires are legally residing in the United States.

“How are states with E-Verify getting these jobs filled? Somehow, they’re doing it,” Jeremy Beck of NumbersUSA told Breitbart News.

Editors at the Wall Street Journal, the most notorious prolific mouthpiece for corporate special interests, published a piece that suggests Florida’s economy faces near collapse because of mandatory E-Verify.

“DeSantis' message to government bureaucrats colluding with Big Tech companies to censor free speech:

"You're going to get canned, you're going to be shown the door. We're going to have zero tolerance for that because it really strikes at the fundamentals of a free society."”

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles’ list included some specific classes of IDs from Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Rhode Island and Vermont. If an individual is found with one of these licenses, they will be subject to increased penalties.

Florida’s new law does not focus on punishing illegal aliens but rather, those who profit off of them — a distinction that seems to be lost on both the unauthorized residents and the activist Left.

Big Media also feigns concern for Florida’s well-being. NBC estimates that just over a quarter — 26% — of the state’s workforce resides there illegally. “The Florida Policy Institute has stated the legislation could cost Florida’s economy $12.6 billion in one year. Six industries, including construction, agriculture and services, employ an estimated 391,000 undocumented workers, or about 10% of workers in those sectors,” the outlet says. And USA Today warns, “Critics worry it will lead to a labor shortage, potentially hobbling crop harvests, home construction and the tourism industry. Some business owners say they are already struggling to find workers.”

So, what will happen? It’s likely that there will be some labor shortages in the Sunshine State for a while. Some things will cost more. Perhaps a new resident worker permit will be created.

But eventually, Florida will adapt and adjust. There is no shortage of American immigrants to the state, and Florida workers will ultimately be better paid as the market catches up. There will likely be a decrease in gang activity, drugs, lawlessness, and perhaps even uninsured medical and property damage costs. Elections may also become more secure.

Freedom is fragile. And when it comes under attack, it's our responsibility to stand up and fight. [https://mega.nz/file/qLoyQKDQ#lPeElR3y-0eDnmbpJU8_MLvSWizXl3Ypa9igjHYopQw](Watch the video)

Gov. Ron DeSantis reacts to consequential Supreme Court decisions

He'll make a great president after Trump's second term

On July 2, Florida’s new permitless carry law went into effect, continuing a disturbing trend across the country. Florida’s law marks the 26th state with permitless carry laws on the books as America is quickly becoming a nation of mass shootings. That is, over half of the country has now embraced permitless carry laws even though they carry extra risks.

As CBS News reported, those who choose to conceal carry their firearms are no longer required to have a permit to carry nor are they required to take any instructional course. However, because open carry is not part of Florida’s gun laws, they still are not cleared to conceal carry their weapons in public places. This includes airports, schools, stores, or other locations where guns are restricted or outright banned. Gun owners must still pass a background check, be legal US residents, and be permanent residents of Florida, neither can they be unlawful users or addicted to controlled substances, they also cannot have what is referred to as a disqualifying condition such as a felony charge, misdemeanor charge or an injunction.

Border: How DeSantis Will Succeed After Decades-Long Failure | RealClearPolitics

“DeSantis also recognizes that systemic illegal migration into America has been a decades-long bipartisan surrender. Even so-called immigration hawks in office have failed to address this foundational issue.

Unlike prior Republican politicians, including Donald Trump, DeSantis provides far more than just tough talk about the border. Instead, the governor put forth a detailed action plan that includes powerful elements sure to make the globalists fret.”

“We [in Florida] have color blind admissions and that works very well,” he said. “If you finish in the top 10% of your class in high school, you can get into a Florida University and we’ll make sure you have a spot for that, but we’re not divvying up on the basis of race.”

Diversity is indeed important – but not diversity of skin color.

“Yes, they may generate diversity and skin color, but they tend to promote uniformity of thought,” he said. “What about diversity of life experience? Diversity of viewpoints on things?”

“And I think a lot of these organizations that go whole hog with DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion], they end up creating a conformity

“FLASHBACK to August 2022, when Ron DeSantis called out Biden's unconstitutional action on student loans: "It just shows you when you hear these politicians talking about these [COVID] emergency powers, basically they want that to be able to override the traditional rule of law." ”
