    Joe Biden is expected to announce his 2024 reelection campaign in April.
    Biden is unpopular and old so he wants to make sure his campaign headquarters is near his Wilmington home.
    According to left-leaning polls, approximately only one-third of Democrat voters want Joe Biden to run for president in 2024.

    FBI Employees Caught Drunk Driving, Stealing, Losing Weapons, Internal Memos Reveal

    FBI employees over the years have been caught drunk driving, stealing, losing weapons, and assaulting children, according to internal memos obtained by Just the News.
    Sexual misconduct is also rampant, according to the memos.
    FBI employee had affairs with felons in prison and affairs with confidential sources.
    Most of the FBI officials who engaged in unethical and illegal conduct were never fired, Just the News reported.
    Just the News reported:
    Scores of FBI employees have been caught over the last five years engaging in unethical and illegal conduct such as driving drunk, stealing property, assaulting a child, mishandling classified documents, and losing their service weapons — but they often escaped being fired, according to internal disciplinary files provided to Just The News.
    One agent left a highly lethal M4 carbine unsecured in his government car during a Starbucks run and had the weapon stolen, but even he received only a two-week suspension despite violating the bureau’s protocols for weapons storage, the records show.
    “Although there was a lockbox in the trunk for storage of weapons and sensitive items,” the agent chose to store the rifle bag behind the car’s front passenger seat, one report shows. “While Employee was in the Starbucks, the Bucar was burglarized. The rear passenger, rear driver, and tailgate windows were broken, and the rifle bag containing the M4 was stolen.”
    Sexual misconduct was also rampant in the reports dating to 2017, including inappropriate affairs with felons in prison, confidential sources and subordinate employees. The sexual transgressions, however, often resulted in firings, unlike the drunk driving and lost weapons offenses.

  • Trump Team Responds: Latest DOJ Leak on New Batch of Classified Docs Is Nothing-Burger – Trump Team Worked with DOJ Every Step of the Way

    Trump Team Responds: Latest DOJ Leak on New Batch of Classified Docs Is Nothing-Burger – Trump Team Worked with DOJ Every Step of the Way

    Biden’s Justice Department is trying desperately to take down President Trump and destroy the populist movement in America today. Democrats and angry RINOs are with them. They believe the people need to pipe down and get in line.
    The regime has nothing on President Trump. And so, just like during the garbage Mueller special counsel where they knew on day one that President Trump had no ties to the Russians, they are leaking junk reports to the fake news again.
    Special Counsel Jack Smith is allegedly investigating how classified documents were found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence after the August raid last year.
    FBI agents descended on Trump’s Florida residence last summer looking for presidential records lawfully stored at the former president’s home.
    Now, according to DOJ leaks to CNN, more documents with classified markings were found in a box among presidential schedules in December, a few months after the summer FBI raid.
    The feds are investigating why the box of documents wasn’t given to the DOJ and what ‘Trump’s role’ was in storing the box.
    This afternoon The Gateway Pundit reached out to the Trump Team to discuss this latest leak from the deep state to CNN.
    According to our source close to the Trump Team the latest report by the three CNN authors is about a document box managed by a receptionist. This is not new news.
    The Trump team lawyers worked closely with the DOJ on this faux scandal every step of the way. This is another nothing-burger, something the American public has grown used to.
    A second source with the Trump Team also said this was nothing. They heard about it months ago.
    It appears the DOJ and Special Counsel Jack Smith is going to play the old Mueller games and slow leak junk reports to the fake news to build public support for their nothing-burger investigation.

  • Biden’s Woke DOD Expands Transgender Policies in Military

    Biden’s Woke DOD Expands Transgender Policies in Military

    While Chinese balloons float over the nation and Biden gets increasingly involved in the Russian-Ukraine war, the Department of Defense thinks this is the perfect time to make the military even more woke in their efforts to completely de-masculate our warfighters.
    The Center for Military Readiness prepared a report providing examples of how the Pentagon has quietly expanded woke transgender policies in the military.
    The report sites at least six significant differences since the 2016 policy including:

    1. Changes official DoD vocabulary to reflect transgender ideology;
    2. Specifically involves the military service academies and ROTC (contract) programs;
    3. Holds commanders directly responsible for all alleged “biases against transgender individuals;” 4. Allows cross-dressing and other “transitioning” behaviors on-base as well as off-base;
    5. Allows “de-transition” procedures if treatments do not resolve gender dysphoria; and
    6. Restricts collection and disclosure of data on “incidents of harmful behaviors” involving sexual orientation and transgender persons, even for legislative purposes.

    Real Clear Defense reports:
    The DOD Instruction stipulates that if a person “self-identifies” as a person of the opposite sex, and if the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) changes a person’s bureaucratic “gender marker,” a man claiming to be a woman must be treated as a woman, and vice versa.
    Military commanders, doctors and nurses, chaplains, and military men and women at all levels must endorse and act on this ideological belief or suffer career penalties if they don’t. Alleged “biases against transgender individuals,” which are prohibited, could include anything from “misgendering” people with the wrong pronouns to expressions of concern about medically questionable hormone treatments or surgeries for adults or military-dependent children.
    Individuals who are confused about gender identity deserve compassionate counseling, competent medical care, and complete information about the serious risks and irreversible consequences of “gender-affirming” treatments that do not change biological sex. Instead, a self-diagnosis of gender dysphoria permits only one course of treatment, pushing the service member toward life-changing, often-irreversible transgender “transition,” without an independent “second opinion.”

    Commanders are directed to consult with designated “experts,” called Service Central Coordination Cells. The SCCCs have no responsibility for military operations or any obligation to put the needs of the patient first.
    Biden’s regulations do not protect or even mention rights of religious liberty for chaplains and people of faith. Nor do they provide options for doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel who object to transgender ideology on moral or ethical grounds.
    Once a military doctor approves, transgender transition can be deemed “complete” with or without surgical alteration of healthy body parts. At that point, as the DOD Instruction states several times: “[S]ervice members will use those berthing, bathroom, and shower facilities associated with their gender marker in DEERS.”
    PowerPoint training slides entitled “Policy on the Military Service of Transgender Person and Persons With Gender Dysmorphia Training Module” provide guidance to walk individuals through various “dilemmas.”
    Below are examples from the training slides including what to do when there is an inability to meet standards, how to address use of showers, and how transitioning should be addressed during basic combat training.

    Mike Lindell Says He Plans to Sue Speaker Kevin McCarthy For Only Providing the Full January 6 Footage to Tucker Carlson (VIDEO)

    My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell has announced his intention to sue Speaker Kevin McCarthy for providing the full footage from the January 6 protest at the Capitol exclusively to Fox News’s Tucker Carlson.
    McCarthy has provided the television host with nearly 41,000 hours of Capitol surveillance footage from that day.
    Lindell discussed his reason for suing during an appearance on the War Room with Steve Bannon, saying that it amounts to discrimination.
    “They’re serving papers this morning,” Lindell said. “It [J6 footage] needs to go to everybody so we can all look at it together!”
    During the podcast, Lindell said that he would be filing the complaint through his streaming platform Lindell-TV, which is “injured by not having access.”

    “We’re not gonna sit back and let that happen,” Lindell said. “Why does just Fox get this? So they can cover it up even more? It’s disgusting. All of us, including War Room, we all need to see what’s on those tapes, and we need to see all of them.”
    “Fox is going to be the filter to the world?” Lindell asked. “Not gonna happen on my watch, I’ll tell you that.”
    Lindell vowed to “run this all the way to the Supreme Court” if he has to.
    Democrats have complained about the release of the footage, and long fought to keep it hidden, claiming that it presents a “security risk” to the Capitol.
    “I was asked in the press about these tapes, and I said they do belong to the American public. I think sunshine lets everybody make their own judgment,” McCarthy told the New York Times.

  • Marxist California Professor Aghast to Learn She’s Descended From Mayflower Passenger, Slave-Owning Soldier 

    79-year-old University of California professor Angela Davis got the surprise of her life last week when the Marxist learned she is descended from one of only 101 passengers on the Mayflower as well as a slave-owning Revolutionary War soldier.
    Needless to say, the former Black Panther who won the Lenin Peace Prize in 1979 (formerly known as the Stalin Peace Prize) was aghast to learn of her true family ties.

    Famed Black Activist
    Many of you will know Angela Davis by name. Some of you will not.
    Those of you who are old enough, might remember Davis for her involvement in a politically charged murder case in the 70s. The 26-year-old was jailed for her alleged role in a prisoner escape related shoot-out only to be fully acquitted after serving 18 months.
    Davis’s story inspired a movement and songs by famous artists like “Sweet Black Angel” by the Rolling Stone and “Angela” by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. 
    The Marxist’s controversial ties ultimately cost Davis her UCLA professorship, but she eventually landed back in the classroom as a Humanities professor at University of California. Davis is also one of the founders of critical race theory.
    Davis grew up in the “Dynamite Hill” neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama. The nickname came from the number of homes targeted by the Ku Klux Klan. Her upbringing inspired Davis to join the Black Panthers and a black branch of the Community Party.
    Among Davis’s accolades are:

    running twice as Vice President on the Communist Party ticket
    making the FBI’s “Most Wanted” list in the 70’s
    being called a “dangerous terrorist” by Richard Nixon
    being part of the curriculum in Princeton’s Ivy League #BlackLivesMatter course

    Davis is identitarian, which basically means she is concerned only with promoting the interests of her own cultural group.

    Angela Davis Family Ties to Mayflower Pilgrims
    Given Davis’s colored history, you can imagine what a shock it was to learn of her very white, slave-owning heritage on the set of PBS “Finding Your Roots” with Henry Louis Gates Jr. 
    Right off the bat, Gates presented Davis with a passenger manifest from the Mayflower. 
    The Marxist professor was immediately on defense – “No, my ancestors did NOT come here on the Mayflower”.
    Gates then drops the bomb, “You are descended from of the 101 passengers that sailed on the Mayflower.” Davis’s heart visibly sinks. “Oof. That’s a little bit too much,” she exhales.
    That’s right. The Black radical activist’s descendant William Brewster was among the English families, better known as the Pilgrims, that sailed to the New World in 1620.
    Imagine how many people in America can claim heritage dating back to the Mayflower? Not many. But Angela Davis can – and she’s not happy about.
    “Did you ever in your wildest dreams think that you may have descended from people who laid the foundation for this country?” Gates asks.
    “Never. Never. Never. Never,” Davis emphatically replied.

    “Do you know what you’re looking at? That is a list of the passengers on the Mayflower.”

    And Gates wasn’t done dropping bombs yet. In fact, the PBS host was just getting started.
    Gates goes on to inform Davis, who “always imagined my ancestors as the people who were enslaved”, that she descends from a Revolutionary War solider on her mother’s side. Moreover, Stephen Darden, a drummer in the 4th Virginia regiment, would later move to Georgia and own slaves.
    The PBS host contends that her father, Benjamin Frank Davis, knew that his birth father was white. Her white grandfather, Murphy Jones, had four children with her paternal grandmother, Mollie Spencer.
    It turns out that Davis does descend from at least one slave as Spencer was born into slavery on a cotton plantation in Alabama.
    The facts of the matter left Davis swirling, “I always imagined my ancestors as the people who were enslaved. My mind and my heart are swirling with all of these contradictory emotions.”
    It must have felt like a bucket of cold water was dumped on Davis. To dedicate your life to promoting radical Black and leftist causes only to find out decades later that you are cut from the same cloth as your “oppressors”.
    Does that mean famed Black activist Angela Davis should be subject to reparations? Some say yes.

  • Sheriffs: Americans Must Demand Elected Reps ‘Eradicate’ Mexican Drug Cartels

    By Bethany Blankley (The Center Square)
    Sheriffs nationwide are calling on government leaders to demand that President Joe Biden, members of Congress and other elected officials do whatever it takes to “eradicate” two Mexican cartels responsible for unprecedented volumes of fentanyl pouring into the U.S.: the Sinaloa and the Jalisco New Generation Cartels (JNGC).
    The American Sheriff Alliance includes sheriffs represented by the National Sheriff’s Association, Western States Sheriff’s Association, Major County Sheriffs of America, Southwestern Border Sheriffs’ Coalition, and Texas Border Sheriff’s Coalition. They issued a statement “imploring the public to demand their elected officials use every available sanction and accountability tools at their disposal in combating the atrocities committed against our country and its citizens.”
    They did so as 22 attorneys general have called on Biden to designate the two cartels as foreign terrorist organizations after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott did so last September. Other governors have yet to follow his lead.
    The sheriffs argue the cartels have caused the deaths of 35 times more Americans than those killed by terrorists on 9/11, citing over 100,000 Americans who’ve died from opioid poisonings, including fentanyl, in one year’s time. The opioid and fentanyl crisis, they argue, “has caused 35 more times the amount of death to American citizens in a one-year period than was inflicted upon the U.S. on September 11th by Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden.”
    “Despite the incredible number of deaths, which can be directly attributed to the trafficking of illegal narcotics into the United States by the Mexican Cartels, there has been little call to action or change in foreign policy to address this alarming issue,” they said.

    The Sinaloa and JNGC cartels oversee sophisticated transnational criminal operations “fueled by fear, terror, intimidation, extortion, and murder,” the sheriffs argue, and are “directly responsible for the increases in deaths, human trafficking, sex trafficking, and unprecedented violence occurring in cities and counties across our nation.”
    These cartels aren’t just operating at the southern border, the sheriffs argue, “their influence can also be felt across our northern border and maritime borders as they seek to exploit all avenues to deliver lethal narcotics and violent criminals into our communities.”
    President of the National Sheriffs’ Association, St. Charles Parish, Louisiana, Sheriff Greg Champagne, said, “We can no longer allow these murderers to terrorize our communities. We need every American to join us in demanding our government focus on this crisis and take whatever actions are necessary to eliminate these criminal networks and operations.”
    Santa Barbara County, California, sheriff and vice president of the Major County Sheriffs of America, Bill Brown, emphasized, “This is not a partisan issue. This is a life-and-death issue.”
    Brown, like Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, argues America’s foreign policy with Mexico must change. She called on the president to hold the Mexican government accountable when Biden met with the Mexican president in January and received no response.
    “The federal government must put greater pressure on the Mexican government to take aggressive action to disrupt and destroy these unlawful cartels,” Brown said. “The current situation is intolerable and cannot stand.”
    Western States Sheriffs’ Association president and Grand County, Colorado, Sheriff Brett Schroetlin also reiterated that the cartels aren’t solely operating in Mexico – they “are operating in every part of our nation. It’s not an urban, suburban, or rural issue.”
    He also points out that their network is so extensive and well-financed that cartels “kill, enslave, and destroy families and communities” not just in Mexico but also in the U.S.
    “We need the people of the United States to demand that our government commit the necessary resources to eliminate these organizations here and abroad as they did following the horrific events of 9/11,” he said.

    Chairman of the Southwestern Border Sheriffs’ Coalition, Hidalgo County, Texas, Sheriff Eddie Guerra said fighting the cartels isn’t an immigration issue, it’s “a public safety and public health issue.”
    “It’s not just the violence and drugs, it’s the sexual assaults, human trafficking, enslavement, and fear and terror that are destroying neighborhoods here in the United States,” he added.
    Chairman of the Texas Border Sheriffs’ Coalition, Zavala County, Texas, Sheriff Eusevio Salinas, said, “Americans can save lives” by calling on the president and members of Congress to demand “immediate, comprehensive action to identify and destroy these criminal operations, wherever they may exist.
    “Until our elected officials stand up to fight this epidemic sweeping the nation, we will continue to set records related to the number of our loved ones we continue to lose each year at the hand of these violent cartels.”

    Biden Signs Equity Executive Order Under the Radar Injecting Racism Across the Federal Government

    Mondays are generally big news days, more than likely because newsrooms on the weekends are minimally staffed unless you happen to be one of the three big 24/7 news outlets. However, if you want to catch some good little nuggets of news, pay attention to late Friday afternoons. 
    That’s when administrations and agencies tend to dump their ‘trash’ that they don’t necessarily want any news outlets to pick up on. That’s precisely what the Biden administration did right before the President’s Day long weekend. Still, lucky for you, dear reader, your friendly neighborhood spicy political commentator is a nerd and trolls Friday press releases.
    So what did Sleepy Joe throw in the pre-weekend trash? An Executive Order that mandates the injection of equity into all aspects of the federal government, and trust me, you should care about this one.

    You Will be Trained, and You Will Comply
    President Biden signed the Executive Order on Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government on February 16th. This EO built on one of his first EOs when he took office that mandated the federal government to start planning for equity programs in their agencies.
    This EO mandates more to include the development of Equity Teams in every federal agency that must administer, of course, equity training and equity in leadership across the entire federal workforce. Just what the federal government needs, more training and less work.
    Additionally, each agency head must appoint a senior ranking official to lead the agency Equity Team because being a ‘leader’ in the federal government is really just about heading up nonsensical baseless teams versus actually leading any real change.
    These Equity Team Leaders will collaborate with the agency’s Chief Diversity Officer, which will also work with the Environmental Justice Officer and the White House Gender Policy Council. The EO lists out over 20 agencies, so think about that for a second.
    Within these over 20 agencies, there are currently Chief Diversity Officers, Environmental Justice Officers, and soon Equity Team Officers. You know, I can think of a few areas that we could cut in the federal government that might save some money.

    The Point
    So what exactly is the goal of these Equity Teams other than aggregating data and attending endless, pointless meetings? As the EO states, their charge from our Chief Executive is “Embedding Equity into Government-wide Processes.” 
    Our federal government is instructed to go about injecting equity into all of its processes in numerous ways. One is to “review and update internal processes, directives, and government-wide guidance to support equitable decision-making, promote equitable deployment of financial and technical assistance…”
    Let’s think about that one for a spell. One agency that falls under this purview is the Administrator of the Small Business Administration.
    One can’t help but wonder if some small business owners won’t get their federal loans approved based on the color of their skin. But, in contrast, others will get theirs approved for the same reason. That hardly seems very equitable.
    But it gets worse, so much worse. The EO also directs agencies that “When designing, developing, acquiring, and using Artificial Intelligence” they are to ensure that it is “in a manner that advances equity.”

    Instructing federal agencies to ensure their AI algorithms operate under an equity lens will probably not mark the beginning of the T-1000, requiring me to begin my lifelong goal of training to be like Sarah Connor. However, this push will have massive repercussions for Americans regardless.
    The American First Legal Foundation claims that this part of the EO encourages the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to alter its algorithms to audit more white and Asian taxpayers than black taxpayers. The specific part of the EO they point to states that these Equity Teams must “prevent and remedy discrimination, including by protecting the public from algorithmic discrimination.”
    President Biden states, “Underserved communities often face significant barriers and legacy exclusions in engaging with agencies and providing input on federal policies and programs that affect them.” Notice the reference to “legacy exclusions” as a lover of language; I must say that is perhaps the most poetic way to repackage the concept of ‘systemic racism.’
    However, the critical part of what the President says above is the concept of underserved communities. How we define an underserved community gets rather sticky and nebulous, which is precisely why it’s impossible to nail down.
    Any demographic can be viewed as an underserved community at any given time, which is why definitions matter.

    Watch AFL President @StephenM explain why it is imperative to stop Biden’s latest Executive Order that transforms the federal government into an “equity” based cult.

    The Imbalance of Equity
    The EO defines equity as “the fair treatment of individuals from all backgrounds including Black, Latino, Indigenous and Native American, Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders, women and girls and LGBTQI+.” The left’s addiction to equity is a large part of why we have such a laughable government.
    Equity is merely an offshoot of diversity, and the President has ridden this bandwagon his entire presidency. It’s why he hired our comically incompetent Secretary of Transportation and his unbearably inept Press Secretary.
    It is why during the pandemic, he sought to impose racial and gender quotas for aid for small businesses and farmers. It wasn’t because he cared about minorities, its because he wanted to appear to care about minorities.
    Equity is about equality in outcomes, not in opportunities. This failed concept attempts to say that we can all and should all have the same life outcomes as the next person, but it is merely a gateway drug into socialism. 
    Life is unfair, and no amount of ‘forced fairness’ will make it more equitable. These Equity Teams won’t make the federal government more accessible; they will merely bog it down with more bureaucracy and racism than it already had before. 
    Finally, the most crucial line in the EO states, “Starting with formulation of the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget” the Equity Teams are to articulate “how the President’s Budget can support the Equity Action Plans.” Yet another example of a taxpayer money pit meant to line the pockets of a bloated bureaucracy under the red herring of equity.

    Fox Business host Charles Payne nearly lost it on Geraldo Rivera after the two sparred over a video showing air raid sirens being heard as President Biden made a surprise visit to Ukraine earlier this week.
    Payne called the incident “phony.”
    CNN described the scene as such:
    The president of the United States, in overcoat and shades, strolled through Kyiv in daylight, visiting a historic church as air raid sirens wailed and standing exposed alongside President Volodymyr Zelensky in the city’s vast, open and iconic St. Michael’s Square.
    However, CNN reporter Alex Marquardt noted that the air raid sirens had been silent for days and only started blaring upon Biden’s visit.
    “I’ve been here for the past five days,” Marquardt stated. “I have not heard any explosions, I have not heard any explosions until about half an hour ago, right when President Biden was in the center of Kyiv.”

    Rivera countered that Ukraine had “lost 100,000 people,” but Payne was not dissuaded from calling it “Hollywood junk.”
    Rivera accused Payne of taking an unnecessary “partisan jab.”
    “Russia was notified that Biden was coming,” Payne shouted. “Do you think Russia was gonna drop a bomb on President Biden?!”
    Rivera insisted Payne was incorrect in saying Russia was notified ahead of time, which is false.
    ABC News reported that the United States alerted Russia to President Biden’s trip “hours before he arrived.”

    Russia knew Biden was Ukraine! Air Raid Alarm sounded as a symbolic recognition of Biden being there with Zelenskyy. You didn’t see people scrambling for safety! But Geraldo Rivera didn’t like Charles Payne calling out the truth to him about the visit and what was fake, etc! pic.twitter.com/AYceFpOF6G

    Payne Rips NYC Mayor Eric Adams
    Charles Payne has been on an absolute tear in recent days. And he does so with charm, a rapier wit, and uber-fashionable suits to boot.
    He thoroughly shredded Eric Adams earlier this week when the New York City mayor criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis during a recent visit to his city.
    “Welcome to NYC,” Adams tweeted, “a place where we don’t ban books, discriminate against our LGBTQ+ neighbors, use asylum seekers as props, or let the government stand between a woman and health care.”
    The snide tweet continued: “We’re happy to teach you something about values while you’re here.”

    Welcome to NYC, @GovRonDeSantis, a place where we don’t ban books, discriminate against our LGBTQ+ neighbors, use asylum seekers as props, or let the government stand between a woman and health care.
    We’re happy to teach you something about values while you’re here. https://t.co/o2CgOt1SES

    Adams and DeSantis have publicly sparred after the Republican governor began demanding New York City live up to their self-proclaimed reputation as a ‘sanctuary city’ by bussing illegal immigrants there.
    Payne metaphorically murdered Adams over the comments, starting with the city’s education system.
    “Let’s start with ‘a place where you don’t ban books,’” Payne fired back. “You might as well ban them in New York City, because our kids can’t read. Ban them and burn them, because you don’t teach our kids how to read. What the hell good are books in the first place?”
    Straight fire.

    As for the LGBTQABCXYZ community, Payne says everybody he knows is making a beeline for Florida every chance they can.
    “LGBTQ — I don’t know any member of my family, friends, that LGBTQ — first minute they get, they’re off to Florida,” Payne added.
    “They leave New York for Florida every weekend, they’ll slip out on a Friday and come back on a Saturday. Are you kidding me? Yeah, [Florida] is a big, bad spooky place, give me a break on that one.”

    Anyone else tired of the bullshit? https://t.co/umNxeLmO55

    Payne also slammed Adams over his hypocrisy when it comes to illegal immigrants.
    “Soon as they go to the richest places in America — New York City, Martha’s Vineyard — ‘We can’t afford them, we’re afraid, we’re clutching our pearls, how dare they send these people up here?’” he said.
    Florida is among the top destinations for people currently fleeing blue states like New York.

  • Support Is Swelling for Ron DeSantis In 2024 And Grassroots Is Key

    By Ed Rollins for RealClearWire
    After years of failure from the Biden administration, the latest being the Chinese balloon debacle, Americans are demanding a change in leadership.
    More than 70% of American voters believe the country is on the wrong track, with President Biden’s approval rating one of the lowest in U.S. history. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, on the other hand, remains one of America’s most popular governors, and his proven track record of conservative, common-sense leadership has him perfectly positioned to win a national election.
    Assuming DeSantis declares a presidential bid in the coming months, he can and will emerge victorious by building on his momentum from 2022. But that will only be possible by engaging the grassroots. Building a grassroots program is the only blueprint that can work in 2024. In the elections to come, Republicans must focus their efforts primarily on everyday voters, since that wasn’t the case in the last three electoral cycles.
    What does that look like? It comes down to door knocking, phone bank nights, meet and greets, house gatherings, voter registration campaigns, petition campaigns, and more. Republicans need to activate a volunteer army across all 50 states, making Democrats fight for every inch of the electoral map.
    Elections are won on the ground – they always have been and they always will be. In 2016, Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton because he resonated with tens of millions of people outside the Beltway. Trump rallies were raucous.

    The same held true in 1984, when I managed President Reagan’s historic reelection campaign. The Great Communicator won because he never lost touch with public sentiment, communicating routinely with the voters he represented and sharing a grand vision of “morning in America.” I saw it firsthand: His ability to connect with everyday Americans was the stuff of legend.
    Now, DeSantis is set to follow in Reagan’s footsteps. My organization, Ready for Ron, released a petition to draft and elect DeSantis as president and we have garnered hundreds of thousands of signatures in a matter of months. In many cases, we can collect hundreds of pro-Ron signatures in a span of two or three hours.
    Grassroots support is swelling for DeSantis because he understands the art of leadership, unlike Biden. He recognizes the importance of good governance. DeSantis is as skilled a politician as he is authoritative on public policy. Bill by bill, the Florida governor continues to govern through reform, recently signing legislation to expand his migrant relocation program and reduce election fraud.
    From immigration to the democratic process, DeSantis doesn’t just talk the talk; he walks the walk by working with lawmakers to get results. Like Reagan before him, he is showing that U.S. governors make the best presidents. Americans value competence in office. They want to see adults in the room, acting professionally and leading by example – no games, no broken promises, no political stunts.

    Overpriced advertising campaigns and exorbitant consultant fees are not the recipes for success – they represent the road to nowhere. The road to victory will be trodden by those who do the hard work. There is still a place for TV, radio, and digital ads, but politics starts in local neighborhoods and other communities, with passionate Americans persuading people and getting out the vote.
    We’re doing the hard work already. The “Ready for Ron” blueprint is to show that people are ready for Ron to run by actually talking to people. Getting back to the grassroots will ensure that Republicans not only win back the White House, but also regain control of the Senate.
