Trump endorses Byron Donalds for Florida Governor

 Trending Politics:

President Donald Trump on Thursday threw his full support behind Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) to serve as the Sunshine State’s next governor, even though he isn’t officially running and didn’t publicly request the endorsement.

That’s how much confidence the president has in Donalds, a vociferous defender of his agenda who took time out of his own reelection to stump for President Trump during the Republican primary and later in black communities across America. While Donalds is supposedly mulling whether to launch a bid for Florida’s corner office, Trump on Truth Social laid out his qualifications and reasons why he should jump into the race to succeed Gov. Ron DeSantis.

“I am hearing that Highly Respected Congressman Byron Donalds is considering running for Governor of Florida, a State that I love, and WON BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024,” Trump wrote. “I know Byron well, have seen him tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and he is a TOTAL WINNER! Byron has a great wife, Erika, and three beautiful sons. They are very proud of him!”

At the height of America’s immigration crisis, Rep. Donalds was a frequent guest on cable news shows where he espoused the Trump campaign’s talking points on mass deportations and the proliferation of dangerous illegal immigrant criminals in the U.S. Trump, well-known to be a voracious consumer of cable news, sounded an appreciative note for Donalds’ kind words over the past year and a half.

“As Governor, Byron would have a BIG Voice, and would work closely with me to advance our America First Agenda. He will fight tirelessly to Secure our Border, Stop Migrant Crime, Strengthen our Military, Protect our Vets, Restore our Economic Power, Advance American Energy DOMINANCE, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment,” Trump exclaimed. “Byron Donalds would be a truly Great and Powerful Governor for Florida and, should he decide to run, will have my Complete and Total Endorsement. RUN, BYRON, RUN!”
...

From what I have seen of Donalds, I think he would be a good governor.  He is smart and shows a talent for leadership.  Hopefully, he will be able to fill the job and replace DeSantis who has also been an effective governor.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
