DeSantis’s ToTALLYtarians Are Spreading To the Republican National Committee

DANGER ALERT!!

With his back to our flag, DeSantis rules Florida.

The above is from an article I wrote in May of last year. If you would like a summary, to get you in the correct mindset to understand what is being said here, please click the link. What I described then is spot-on, but its inclusion would have overwhelmed this already-words article.

When Joe Gruters was chosen by Trump, to be the new Chair of the RNC, I cringed. Gruters was involved in those fake voter guides circulated to very conservative counties last year.l These “voter guides” blatantly lied about which candidates were MAGA. You may remember. Gruters supposedly is a Trump man, but after those guides, I questioned that. More than likely, those guides were a favor to DeGov to select county officials who would be more likely to play along with developers.

NOW, Evan Power, the RPOF chair, the man who has been behind so much of the unconscionable AND unconstitutional activity from the , is on the RNC Nominating Committee, as of last month. I am pretty sure HE is not MAGA

This cannot be allowed to stand. You will understand why after you read this.

Ever since Ron DeSantis was first elected in 2018 (with Trump’s help, if you remember) he has been anti-Trump and anti MAGA. A major focus of Tallahassee has been to remove from power MAGA Conservatives. NOW, these people are suddenly in a position to select our next Presidential candidate.

America MUST be made aware of what has been happening in Florida. Too many fall for the Hannity-type spew about that “Good Red State”! Sometimes I think he is on DeSantis’s dark money payroll.

Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and come along. I’ll try to be brief, but there is a LOT to unpack.

The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF), under DeSantis leadership, is on the side of the globalists, in the true Bush tradition. DeSantis once said that former President George Bush was the “most inspirational person” he had ever met. DeSantis said that he met Bush while attending Yale.

From removing duly elected officials from their positions, and forbidding citizens to attend public meetings; to stripping rightful local power in favor of large developers; to pushing UN Agenda concepts like the useless solar energy scam; to allowing (preferring?) insecure voting procedures; to paving Florida roads with radioactive rock, Tallahassee has become an enemy of the people since DeSantis became Governor. And this is just a partial list, but it hits the high points.

Ron DeSantis is strongly Anti-MAGA as most of you already know. As he was running for reelection in 2022, one of his “advance” team made sure that a county official knew. She told him, in no uncertain terms, that the governor “is NOT America First and never will be.” And ”Big League Politics” says DeGov on on the Trump train. lol

The Florida Republican Party under DeSantis leadership has repeatedly prostituted their morals for power, in the attempt to fight down the huge MAGA sentiment in the state. Trump won the Florida Presidential primary last year 81.4% to DeSantis’s 3%, and this burns the little guy. A lot. But, the sentiment was there ever since Trump helped him to win his first term in Tallahassee. To thank Trump and his helpers, ever since he took office, DeSantis’s Republican Party of Florida has done everything it can – at his direction – to work AGAINST Donald Trump, and those who believe America must come First.

Let’s go further back in time.

One of DeSantis’s first acts as Governor in 2019, was to sign Florida up for ERIC (Election Registration Information Center) the fake voter registration “management system”, developed by an avowed “Conservative hater, David Becker, with Soros funds. ERIC is nothing more than an AI data storage for voter’s personal information, which is NOT returned when/if a state withdraws its ERIC membership.

Previous Florida Gov., Rick Scott, chose not to join ERIC because of the system kept too much of his constituents’ personal information. DeSantis and his gang used it, and “loved it” in the words of Secretary of State, Cord Byrd.

After DeGov joined Florida to ERIC in 2019, it was learned by independent research, that, in 2022, Florida’s voter rolls were 101.6% of all possible citizens of voting age in the state. Fifty percent of all ERIC member states has voter rolls like that.

According to the World Population Review, quoting national averages in 2022, Florida had just over 9 million citizens of voting age, 55% of which were actually registered.

Good ole ERIC! No wonder Cord Byrd, the Secretary of State said that “Florida loves ERIC”. The Brennan center and other Leftist organizations love ERIC, too.

The year 2022 was the year that Florida chose to redistrict, and so sent out new registration materials to all. Those that were returned marked “undeliverable”, with those big yellow stickers on them, were NOT removed from the list but saved. Somehow, ballots were sent to those addresses AND THEY CAME BACK, VOTED, and signed by inkjet, with 100% signature match. A red wave!

The only flat spot in the wave was the sudden and suspicious death of Mr. Pete Antonacci, who had been hand picked by DeGov to head up his new “Election Crimes Unit”. Mr. Antonacci had left a meeting in the Governor’s conference room in an agitated state and was found 20 minutes later, dead in the hallway outside the Governor’s office. “Nothing to see here”, said regime officials who had been in attendance. Many of us will always wonder what had Antonacci so upset that he stormed out of the meeting, then collapsed and died with not one person helping him out

FOIA requests to look into the details of this incident were returned saying that “no notes had been kept” on the meeting. Yeah.

The “Election Crimes Unit” was orchestrated as another attention-getter, but, like so many of DeGov’s pronouncements, it was sound and fury signified nothing. A whole 20 people were caught. As I recall, many of these were recently paroled convicts who had been told by authorities that they did have the right to vote. Two thirds of Florida voters voted in favor of this new department and its $500,000 budget. That’s $25,000 for each “catch”.

Citizens did request two bills from Tallahassee: Medical freedom (remember, this was during the end days of Covid) and getting rid of voting machines, which, in Florida had not been properly security-checked since 2004. DeGov promised both; delivered on neither. He was on his way to the 2024 campaign for POTUS, after all, and was not about to let those controversial subjects get in his way. (No, Fl did NOT, as he promised, remove drop boxes for voting; they just renamed them.)

During the buildup to his run for POTUS, DeGov stopped to write a book, published March, 2023, called, laughingly enough, “The Courage To Be Free”. Hold that thought, as we go on to cover how he and his troops removed constitutional freedoms from many in the state. Most especially, those that were Trump supporters, MAGA patriots or America First.

Also in 2023, soon after he wrote that book about courage, DeGov signed a bill allowing the use of highly RADIOACTIVE rock, a by-product of the Mosaic phosphate mining business, for use in building roads in the state. The byproducts of this industry have also poisoned aquifers, killed thousands of manatees and other water creatures, and given whole communities, built on top of the radioactive byproducts, “cancer clusters” where multiple residents AND EVEN THEIR PETS developed similar cancers and have died from them.

It has been two years since the killer gravel was apprpoved for use in roads, and more than two DECADES since the damage of the byproduct has been proven. I wonder when DeSantis will look at the results of his “experimental road paving”. If ever.

We all, sadly, know the answer. See the documentary, PhosFate, online, to learn so much more…

The mining company, as do so many, gave generously to DeGov’s campaign needs, as well as those of other pols in the state. Nothing will be done, and people will continue to die. DeGov does not have the COURAGE to help his people when it means facing down a big donor and employer. Citizen complaints about the cancer clusters and the water pollution, have gone unaddressed. People in the affected areas are still dying.

Cancer has become the #1 cause of death in Florida.

That brings us to the criminal investigation surrounding the Hope Florida foundation, Casey DeSantis’s cancer charity which somehow got $10 million moved from donations to cancer research, to donations to politicians. A grand jury – chosen of course, NOT by citizens as our founding documents require but by the State’s Attorney- has been empaneled. We’ll see what they find.

The structuring of DeGov’s RPOF had been underway rather subtly since 2019. County Republican Groups were discouraging and even forbidding new members to join if they were “MAGA” Several friends told me about this, and we thought it strange. A year or two before an important nationwide election, and party membership is discouraged?

Then, this same began to be seen in the inner workings of the party. Christian Ziegler, a Conservative Republican state Committeeman form Sarasota became party Vice-Chair in 2019, and its chair in 2023.

In Feb., 2023, when Ziegler became Party Chair, and Evan Power, VC Ziegler had beat out Peter Feaman for the Chairmanship. Both men were strong Trump supporters, and Ziegler had even attended the Jan. 6, 2021, rally in DC. But suddenly, Ziegler was charged with a “sex scandal” a supposed “three-way” with his wife and another woman, and DeSantis suggested he step down.

Bridgett Ziegler, Christian’s wife, remains in her position as a DeSantis appointment to the Reedy Creek (Disney) Board. She has also refused to step down from HER elected position on the Sarasota School Board.

SO, the RPOF had a new chair, to do DeGov’s bidding. THAT is when the purge of MAGA Conservatives from county positions began. (Remember, Ziegler was also MAGA.)

The other RPOF Trump Supporter, Peter Feaman, was tricked out of his power as a National Delegate, by a secret meeting held when Mr. Feaman had told the Party that he would be unavoidably out of town. That was when business that excluded Mr. Feaman from his position as a voting National Delegate, was carried out.

Peter Feaman resigned the Party and is now in DC, helping President Trump. He wrote a public letter explaining what the Party had done, which letter I published last year.

It was then that DeSantis had his party deck stacked to support his moves, and they began with the largest MAGA-supporter group in the state, the Florida Republican Assembly.

The FRA is an independent organization, as a state chapter of a national group. It is not a party “club” and could not be controlled by Tallahassee, so they had to be taken down, reasoned the Power-hungry mob in the statehouse.

First the “Rules Committee” of the RPOF issued a “cease and desist” order, against the use of the Elephant symbol and the word, “Republican”. Whaaa? Lame, even as an excuse for the attack!

Fast forward one year, with a lot of FRA money spent in legal fees, and a Fourth Circuit Court (FL) judge ruled that a man who was both an FRA chapter President AND a chair of this county Republican Executive Committee has broken the law. You couldn’t be both, according to the RPOF rules. This legal wrangling – at the time of the ‘24 election build-up, cost the FRA money and focus, as was intended. Can’t have a whole gang of TRUMP supporters running around!

The good news here is that this was only a temporary setback for the FRA. There is a new slate of officers, fresh and focused, who will be able to be a solid touchstone for pro-American, energy in Florida going forward. Click the link to learn about them.

In August ‘24 came the FAKE VOTER GUIDES, published by a group within the RPOF , including the now-Chr of the RNC, Joe Gruters. These “guides” recommended voting for candidates who supported Tallahassee over Trump and lied to represent them as MAGA people! These fake guides went to 7 counties and parts of others, that were strong MAGA country. Many voters simply took these fake guides with them to the polls, because they wanted to be sure to vote for candidates Trump recommended. Effectively, illegally clever.

Last, but certainly not least is the repeated attacks on duly elected Republican county officials by Tallahassee. America-first folks, of course.

Starting in Summer of 2024, , duly-elected officials of conservative county Republican organizations (RECs) were REMOVED from their positions by the RPOF “Rules” committee. The guy who wrote the letters INFORMING people that they were being tossed, is a DeSantis puppet named Bill Helmich, who serves DeGov as head of RPOF Rules Committee. Think of him as the Enforcer, the Sr. “Mean Guy” who willingly does DeGov’s dirty work.

Yeah, this is that good red state of Hannity’s dreams, in action. Here’s a partial list of the unconstitutional acts; it continues. The last one was just two weeks ago.

Last August, The newly elected State Committeeman and Woman of Manatee County were removed from their positions, along with the entire county REC board. Bogus charges were brought and a new Board was appointed by Tallahassee; the citizens did not even have the chance to vote again, as I understand it.

Tally attempted to replace the Republican Committee of St. Johns County, by bringing several dozen sudden “new members” to a meeting, to vote for a new slate of officers, of Tallahassee’s choosing. Those newcomers did NOT have the legal right to vote that night, and the issue, last I’d heard, was settled off the floor. the citizens, I believe won this one because they were prepared for it

Most recently, mid-October 2025, the REC chair from Brevard County, Rick Lacey – the DULY ELECTED CHAIR OF THE REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE – was removed from his position by the RPOF. Lacey was criticized for how he conducted meetings. Complaints were filed (aka, requested). Better watch what you say and how you say it, in totalitarian Florida!

Don’t forget the Lake County Committeewoman, Autumn Jacunski, who had her hand injured when an RPOF goon slammed the door in her face to prevent entry into a public meeting. WHERE SHE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO BE. Gosh…she had complained about the RPOF heavy-handed tactics of late. So they injured her hand. This is what Marxists do. Long-time conservative office-holder, Anthony Sabatini, was there than night, and said that he had never seen anything like that in all of his years in politics.

The good new is that the horrid actions of DeSantis’s government are beginning to back-fire on them, as they should.

There is a new AmericaFirst Party now formed in the state of Florida; it is now an official political entity. Its leaders are from among those free citizens who were ground under the Totallytarian jack boot of the DeSantis regime. They support the power of the grassroots (that’s all of us really) integrity in politics and business, access to candidates, and and due process of the law. Please go to their website to learn about the new party in Florida – the party that the authoritarian acts of DeSantis and his henchmen have created.

The creation of a new AmericaFirst party is a huge and very visible payback for treatment received by citizens from their governing body. Only in America can we still do this, but letting people like the totalitarian goon squad from Tallahassee into our national government is a way to lose that privilege.

NB: Representatives of the new party, and many others incensed by the un-American tactics of the RPOF, will be speaking this coming Friday, Nov. 7, 2025, outside the Hilton Orlando, 6001 Destination Pkwy, Orlando Fl.

You will hear from those who were removed from their county positions and threatened with legal trouble. You may even meet the lady who was seriously injured while being blocked entry, when she tried to attend a public meeting of her Lake County Republican Committee chapter meeting in Leesburg. You will learn what DeGov & Co. have been up to even while you listen to sycophants like Sean Hannity on air, yap in praise of DeSantis and his good red state of Florida.

In closing (YES! I am about to stop), I want to remind you again that Joe Gruters (of the Fake Voter guide group) is now CHAIR of the Republican National Committee, and he has brought Evan Power, the current Chair of the RPOF, up to a committee assignment on the national level – that RNC committee which will choose the next nominee for POTUS! Trump may trust Gruters, but I am fairly sure that our President does not know of the new games Joe plays.

I begged your time, because I feel so strongly that everyone in the nation needs to know the truth about Florida, and can help put a stop to the unconstitutional acts of the DeSantis gang. Share this with friends!

The little dude may appeal to some as he does his “dog and phoney shows”, and waves his hands in a replica of Trump’s gestures, but he is NOT a moral man, of that I am sure. We do not need any more immoral people in DC, THAT is for sure!

Thank you for listening and helping, regardless of your state of residence. America is the union of 50 states, and we must stop this kind of sickness from spreading.

We thought COVID was bad…

Blessings,
