Florida
Governor Ron DeSantis' was recently asked by a reporter if it was
appropriate for president-elect Donald Trump to criticize California
Governor Gavin Newsom in regards to the ongoing California wildfires.And Governor DeSantis' response
was, "Is it appropriate for people in your
industry to try to create division and to try to create
narratives any time these things happen?"
And to that I say “bravo” to
both Trump and DeSantis because they, and the press, know well that Newsom has known
for years that these wildfires happen almost on a yearly basis but
has done nothing of substance to address the issue. So here I'll add to
what my great Florida governor stated and say that, in my opinion,
both Governor Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Bass need to face charges of “gross (criminal)
negligence and reckless endangerment of civilians,” And
why...because these two basically sat back and did nothing but blame others while Los
Angeles and the Palisades burned. In fact, it was Mayor Bass who not only hightailed it to Ghana while
the wildfires were spreading, but was the one who cut the Los Angeles Fire
Department’s budget by almost $20 million last year despite memos
from its fire chief stating that said action would be “detrimental
toward responding to natural disasters.” And sadly, how very right he was.
Remember again...and this is
important...these two knew that these types of fires were cyclic in
nature and tended to reoccur year after year, and yet they also chose
to transfer monies and “emergency services” training
programs needed to directly address this very type of situation, and
funneled both into what I deem to be unseemly “totally irrelevant areas”...areas
reeking of the left's DEI, environmental, and climate change
agendas... agendas obviously deemed more important to these California “powers-that-be”
than their protecting human lives and property it seems.
But the fixes to California's long
standing emergency water issues do stare one in the face, especially
those with common sense that is. And said fixes should include
commencing the long discussed building of desalination plants to use
and store the Pacific's waters for fighting wildfires, and that not
only should all new home and business construction be constructed of cinder block and not wood, as well as being equipped with
both lawn and roof sprinkler systems (the monies required would be added into the construction costs), but that the “perimeters”
of densely populated areas should be ringed with underground sprinkler
systems as well. Why so...because this would allow a perimeter system
to be turned on before a wildfire reaches said areas to wet-down those
areas making it harder for a fire to spread, thus giving air crews the
time needed to drop water and fire retarding chemicals onto the fire.
But maybe in the end some good can come
from this overwhelming disaster...one of the worst fire disasters in U.S. history...as in maybe “blue”
loyalist Californians will finally wake up and stop voting these
clueless, useless, and uncaring Democrat politicians into office time
and time again...case closed.

...The fix was in, and FOX might as well now officially call itself “Trump Central” as their once “Fair and Balanced”
moniker is one for the media history books as their sole driving
force seems to be to dominate the entire media discourse by any and
all means possible. And last Monday night's actions has led me to
believe that FOX is...to some degree...guilty of overt
“election interference” and maybe even “election
suppression” by their...and the other networks...calling the
election caucus way too early not to have swayed votes.
And while some will say it would not have changed the final
outcome in favor of Trump, it indeed did. How so? While Trump might
still have been the winner, he might not have reached the
all-important 50% thresh hold which would have allowed the other
candidates to be awarded more delegates and Trump less delegates...a
key factor numbers wise in regards to the nominating convention.
So now FOX joins the collective of what I consider to be the media
being the one who actually does choose our candidates and nominees for
us...with no vacillation or disagreement allowed as to their discourse...Read entire article and see video here.

Op-ed:
The Media...An Enemy Within
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right
Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
The Op-ed posted here is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily
represent the views of blogspot.comnor Google.
Author's Note: This article was written before my chosen candidate Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race. The media's unceasing push for Trump and the Iowa Caucus going forward when it should have been delayed due to the weather...only 18.5% of the those eligible to vote where able to vote...set the stage for what was to follow.
“Absolutely outrageous that the media would participate in
election interference by calling the race before tens of thousands of
Iowans even had a chance to vote.” ”The media is in
the tank for Trump and this is the most egregious example yet.”
- DeSantis spokesperson Andrew Romeo
After last Monday's Iowa Caucus...believed by many to be a
“bellwether” for who will go on to become the presidential
candidate for each party....I am more convinced than ever that the
media... both mainstream and otherwise...are truly an “enemy
within.” Why
so...because while said caucus had basically just started, The
Associated Press declared a Trump victory at 7:31p.m. local time...a
mere 31-minutes into the caucus...with only eight of 99 Iowa counties
having reporting their results. And FOX immediately took their cue
from the AP as did other media outlets, thus basing their winning
call on but a mere 1,000 votes tallied in two or three precincts in a
rural area of Iowa...which equated to less than one percent of the
total votes yet to be counted.
Simply,
FOX was the first to officially declare Donald
Trump the Iowa Caucus winner...as they so hoped he'd be. After all Trump
is the very man FOX...and most especially Sean Hannity...has been
pushing down viewers throats for
months. And they did so no matter their standing,
in-place policy not to call any election until all the polls are
closed.
Guess FOX was too greedy to pass up a ratings bonanza, hence
bottom line monetary profits, not to do so. A ratings bonanza that in
actuality equated to a stab in the back for the other four candidates
and most especially for Iowa caucus goers themselves. How so? This
announcement by FOX was heard in the precincts where caucusing was
still ongoing with many folks still undecided and not yet having cast
their vote, along with votes already cast but yet to be counted
across the entirety of the state.
The fix was in, and FOX might as well now officially call itself “Trump Central” as their once “Fair and Balanced”
moniker is one for the media history books as their sole driving
force seems to be to dominate the entire media discourse by any and
all means possible. And last Monday night's actions has led me to
believe that FOX is...to some degree...guilty of overt
“election interference” and maybe even “election
suppression” by their...and the other networks...calling the
election caucus way too early not to have swayed votes.
And while some will say it would not have changed the final
outcome in favor of Trump, it indeed did. How so? While Trump might
still have been the winner, he might not have reached the
all-important 50% thresh hold which would have allowed the other
candidates to be awarded more delegates and Trump less delegates...a
key factor numbers wise in regards to the nominating convention.
So now FOX joins the collective of what I consider to be the media
being the one who actually does choose our candidates and nominees for
us...with no vacillation or disagreement allowed as to their discourse. No
wonder a recent Hill-Harris poll found that 33% of Americans deem the
media to be an “enemy of the people”...no wonder the
DeSantis campaign has called FOX News to task.
And while my chosen candidate Ron DeSantis did finish in second
place garnering nine Iowa delegates as opposed to Trump's 20; with
Nikki Haley garnering eight; Vivek Ramaswarmy getting three, and Assa
Hutchinson with no delegates allotted...this early call by FOX and
the others was not only unfair to all the candidates, but now the
Democrats are truly on their way to seeing a Trump/Biden rematch...s
something the majority of Americans still do not want to see
happening.
Why so...because most know well that the Democrats have had eight
years to fine tune their infamous “election irregularities”...to
put what amounts to “election fraud” in more politically
acceptable terms.
Another key component regarding the unfairness of Monday's caucus
itself, is the fact that Paul D. Pate...Iowa's Secretary of State and
also the State Commissioner of Elections...who, while this is not an
accusation by any means, was supported
by Trump in his run for Secretary of State...knew days ahead of
time...as did we all...what the severity of the weather on caucus
night would be. In fact, the weather was so bad Monday night that not
only did it break a two-decades-long low regarding frigid weather,
but saw minus 40-degree wind chills and roads encased in ice and snow
being what forced the majority of caucus goers to stay home...and
rightly so in such dangerous conditions.
Simply, Pate should have put the “health,
safety, and welfare” of Iowans first by postponing the
caucus, by at least a few days, until the system moved eastward and
away from Iowa, which would have allowed for what he had to know
would be a more representational vote tally across the state.
But sadly,
thanks to the weather, truly representational the caucus numbers were
not. And this can be seen in the actual tallies and corresponding
facts as they pertain to the how and why this worked out in Trump's
favor. First the numbers. Fact number I: Iowa has 594,533 registered
Republican voters of which only 110,298 of said voters showed up to
caucus due to the inclement weather. Fact 2: This translated into
only 18.5 percent of all those who could caucus actually caucusing
then voting, meaning 81.5 percent of Iowans were not...I repeat
not...able to caucus and vote, again because of the weather. Fact 3:
this most important of caucuses not only saw the lowest number of
voter turnout since 2000...a year when only 86,000 Iowa Republicans
were able to cast their ballots due to temperatures reaching but 5
degrees...a warm streak compared to last Monday night...but sadly was
decided by less than 20 percent of all Republicans who were eligible
to vote.
And now the media is on a Trump roll...for the liberal media it
means counting on Trump losing to Biden...while the conservative,
right-leaning media claims that Iowa is the start of a “domino
affect” for Trump, something they claim will be akin to Ronald
Reagan's landslide victory over Jimmy Carter in 1980. This was when
Reagan garnered 489 Electoral College votes along with 50.8% of the popular
vote as opposed to Carter's 41.0% of the popular vote and carrying
just six states and Washington, D.C.
But
even primary/caucus wins come replete with certain caveats,
one being that while Donald Trump...who is no Reagan...even the MAGA
slogan is not his...won the 2020 Iowa
Republican caucus, he did not win the general election. In fact, Iowa
has not determined the outcome of the actual presidential election
correctly but two times in the past six elections...not a great
record I'd say. And yet the media...especially FOX News...as I write
this...heralds this one caucus win that due to the weathers low voter
turnout does not
truly represent the whole of Iowa's Republican voters...yet they shove
Trump news down our throats in almost every news block.
And with reporting like that both Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley
have basically been deemed by FOX “talking heads” to be
losers months before the nominating convention has even taken place,
let alone all the primaries. And it's my opinion that this type of
reporting is indeed a form of “election interference” for
it leaves a bad taste in one's mouth that there's now no reason to go
vote...no reason because a once trusted news source has already
declared Trump the winner.
And the gullible and lazy amongst the uniformed and misinformed
Republican masses will fall into line and do as FOX is basically,
albeit veiled, telling them to do...as in only vote Trump...no matter this truly not funny under the dangerous weather conditions comment Trump made before the caucus started.
But it's not just the media “talking heads” that are
the problem, but so too are some of the print reporters. Take the
case of an article that appeared in last Thursday's “Townhall
Tipsheet” where Matt Vespa reported on possible Trump VP picks.
He listed four possible VP choices, Sen. Tim Scott (R-NC); Gov, Krisi
Noem (R-SD); Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL); and Rep. Elise Stefanik
(R-NY). But of these four mentioned, I believe Trump is more likely
to choose a women to counter Kamala Harris on the Biden ticket.
As for Trump loyalist Kristi Noem...a great governor able to
counter balance the ego and overblown rhetoric spewed by Trump
himself...saw Vespa pushing for New York Rep. Elise Stefanik who, at
this point in time, seems to be the one Trump is leaning towards
especially after his having recently stated that Stefanik, “would
be a killer VP pick.”
So why did Matt Vespa basically write South Dakota's governor out as a VP pick...because and I quote,
“Noem caved on trans athletes,” something
which is beyond a shadow of a doubt not true.
Let me briefly explain just how the media twists the facts to meet
its political agenda by using the above stated example. If Matt Vespa
had done his research instead of buying into the propaganda FOX and
others are spewing out, he would have found that SD-46, banned trans
youth from participating in school sports consistent with their
gender “identity.” Forced upon vote in 2021 to veto a bill
addressing this issue, Noem did so because of called into question
verbal “legalize”...”legalize” that would have opened
up South Dakota to numerous leftist initiated lawsuits...lawsuits
that might well have bankrupted the state.
Also, Vespa failed to
mention that later in 2021, Gov. Noem actually issued two executive
orders...stop gap measures to restrict participation on female sports
teams only to those “assigned female at birth." Then
in 2022, Noem rewrote the bill in correct “legalize”
which passed the legislature and
which she then signed into law.
In other words, Gov. Kristi Noem
first via executive order overrode the previous “legalized”
flawed bill giving herself some time to rewrite and replace said bill
with what was unchallenged wording, thus putting into law the very
thing Matt Vespa said she caved to.
I bring this up to show that it's not
just the left who are influencing the upcoming election courtesy of
words written or spoken, but that our side is too. In the case of
Townhall's Matt Vespa, this involves a possible VP choice...a choice which while
somewhat veiled could, he hopes, see his piece as a way to help sway those of us currently
supporting Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley, to cross over to the Trump
side.
In the case of FOX News it's more in your face obvious that FOX
has indeed become the spokes-mouth for Trump, and will do any and
everything to see him win...which via viewership ratings puts money in their
pockets...even if it includes flooding the airwaves with
everything Trump giving little air time to his Republican opponents,
with the airtime they do give likely to be negative in nature.
Simply, unless the media in general is reigned in regarding their
overtly biased and partisan reporting...unless election fraud itself
is dealt with...which reality shows it has not even started to
be...we will continue to see the media complicit in dictating who the
candidates will be, meaning we will never see a fair unbiased
election again. A lack of ethics, common sense, and in Trump's case
decorum, will surely see to that. Case closed.

Ron DeSantis' Amazing Townhall In Iowa Last Night...presidential in every respect!
Thursday, December 7, 2023
Op-ed:
My Take On Last Night’s GOP Debate
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
Simply, briefly, and to the point, Megyn Kelly clearly set the tone for contention at last night's debate with her first
ever so nasty question directed at Gov. Ron DeSantis showing that she...surprisingly...seemed to be up Trump‘s
butt. But no matter for Ron DeSantis had the best answers of anyone on that stage in
regards to the border, the woke nonsense, economics, his leadership ability, and America’s future.
And as to his comments directed at Nikki Haley, DeSantis spoke truth whether Haley wanted to hear it
or not, especially regarding her catering to China and now being beholden to her big DEMOCRAT Wall Street donors. And by the way, too
many times on that stage Haley looked like she was either ready to cry or was a deer caught in the headlights. Haley started her feud with Gov. DeSantis months ago with her lies about his what are truly successful Florida policies...so it's time she put on her big girl pants and be able to take what she dishes out.
And if Haley can’t take verbal comments...and isn't that what a debate is about...from DeSantis or any of her opponents…especially comments based on facts...it’s not time for her to be president…thus sadly
proving that America, at this point in time, is not yet ready for a woman
president.
As to Vivek Ramaswamy and Chris Christie...Vivek remains a big mouth, nasty, joke of a candidate channeling his inner Obama and
Christie, while making some good points regarding Trump and why he should not be the nominee let alone again be president, has NO chance whatsoever of
garnering the nomination, hence he should not have been on yesterday's debate stage.
If there are any future debates said debates should be between DeSantis and Haley alone. But for me it remains Ron DeSantis 2024 & 2928! Case closed.
