Here Comes The 'Bloodbath' Hoax!
Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that former President Donald Trump’s bloodbath comment was an “endorsement of political violence.”
Saturday, at a rally in Dayton, OH, Trump said, “If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now, and you think you’re going to get that, you’re going to not hire Americans, and you’re going to sell the cars as now we’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those guys if I get elected. Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — That’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”

Once Again, Democrats Show Who They Truly Are
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) should be “ashamed for turning his back on our greatest ally in the Middle East,” according to Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), who slammed the Democrat after his attacks on Israel were deemed a form of “electoral interference,” accusing him of “playing right into the hands of Iran-backed Hamas.”
Senate Republican Policy Committee Chair Joni Ernst, co-chair of the Abraham Accords Caucus and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, hit back at Schumer on Thursday after the top Democrat accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of having “lost his way” in a major Senate address in which he attacked Israel’s government and called for new elections.

With presidential preference primaries and several municipal elections taking place across Florida, Republicans have not only been dominating turnout in wake of Democrats canceling their own presidential primary, but also continuing to grow their registration lead.
While Republicans’ lead statewide is now over 855,000, as of March 14 per data compiled by Florida’s Voice, the party is getting perilously close to flipping three more counties red.
For instance, Madison County currently only has 254 more Democratic voters than Republicans. A small county, its margin is D+2.16%.
The county with the narrowest percent margin is Hillsborough County, where Democrats now hold just a 1.24% advantage, or a little over 10,000 voters.

Angry Joe Arrives At The SOTU
Democrat President Joe Biden will take the podium Thursday evening to deliver his third and possibly, depending on the outcome of the November presidential election, last State of the Union address as president of the United States.
Biden will appear in the U.S. House chamber before the entire Congress — and sitting behind him will be Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) — for the address, scheduled to begin at 9:00 p.m. ET. The annual address from the nation’s chief executive is always filled with Washington pageantry, as most of the president’s cabinet — except for a designated survivor — as well as top military advisers, most of Congress, and most Supreme Court Justices attend the event in the House chamber.

BREAKING: Trump Big, Nikki Silent
Former President Donald Trump will take another gargantuan step toward the White House on Super Tuesday, assuming he pulls off what polls suggest: A total romp across more than a dozen states.
Trump is aiming to succeed in what would be the greatest political comeback in the history of mankind in 2024, and, on Tuesday evening, he has a chance to essentially wipe out his last remaining Republican primary opponent — former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Haley had a pyrrhic victory on Sunday in the primary in the nation’s Democrat-heavy capital, Washington, DC. However, her only victory so far — Trump has won literally every other state and by very healthy double-digit margins everywhere — might be her only one ever. GOP primary voters in 15 separate states will cast their ballots on Tuesday, and results across many of them will likely put Trump on the precipice of mathematically eliminating Haley from the GOP nomination in a matter of days, not weeks.

9-0 Decision Proves the Corporate Media Liars … Again!
If you’re shocked by Monday’s utterly predictable nine-to-zero Supreme Court decision, you must be one of the few remaining morons who believe the corporate media.
The very idea that the Supreme Court would allow the states to remove a presidential candidate from the state ballot was pure hopium being pumped by a corporate media that knew better but didn’t care. These liars only care about one thing: cynically hooking as many suckers, gulls, and dummies as possible.

Gov. Ron DeSantis celebrated Tuesday being the one year marking since he officially dissolved Walt Disney World’s self governing district in Central Florida, formerly known as Reedy Creek.
“One year ago, I signed legislation ending what an independent audit found to be one of the worst examples of cronyism in modern U.S. history: Reedy Creek, a local government controlled by a single company; Disney,” DeSantis said. “While so many claimed ending the cronyism would be bad for Florida, the result has been transparency and accountability, including a reduction of taxes and local businesses being allowed to compete for projects, saving the district millions of dollars.”

Trump's VP Short List Has A Familiar Name
Former President Donald Trump acknowledged Tuesday that at least five high-profile Republicans and one former Democrat are on his shortlist for potential running mates in the general election – including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and onetime Democratic presidential primary candidate Tulsi Gabbard.

The names included Gabbard, DeSantis, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.
