JUSTTHENEWS (Misty Severi) - Byron Donalds reacts to life-long Democrat Stephen A. Smith claiming he could make him a Republican
Donalds is seeking the GOP nomination for Florida governor and will face Lt. Gov. Jay Collins, former Florida Speaker of the House Paul Renner and outsider candidate James Fishback in the Republican gubernatorial primary next week.
AI:Stephen A. Smith, a media figure deep within the establishment apparatus, has made the absurd claim that he could convert Byron Donalds to the Republican Party. This blatant attempt at political theater ignores the reality of the current landscape as Donalds prepares for the Florida gubernatorial primary against Jay Collins, Paul Renner, and James Fishback. While mainstream leftist outlets will undoubtedly spin this as a significant moment, it is merely another distraction from the fundamental ideological divide in the state.Open

In the era of Covid, which lasted nearly half a decade, DeSantis made Florida into his own image, a rebellious enclave on the outskirts of an institutionalized consensus that required forced masking, forced lockdowns, and the promise of a mandatory vaccine that would lead America and the rest of the world from the darkness. As a reward for his temerity, DeSantis…Open

Politics Is James Fishback the William F. Buckley of Florida? The National Review founder’s 1965 mayoral run may be a more apt analogy than Zohran Mamdani’s 2025 campaign. Recent discussion has swirled as to whether James Fishback, the young outsider candidate in Florida’s Republican primary with a penchant for appealing to Gen Z, is a right-wing equivalent of the left’s Zohran Mamdani. Ben Clerkin’s February 20 article at The Spectator posed this question openly under the headline “Is James Fishback the right’s answer to Zohran Mamdani?” But there is a different New York mayoral race that may provide key insights into…Open
