    Volusia Republicans Vote For Our 2nd Amendment Rights

    Earl Tony Ledbetter

    MARCH 11, 1947  FEBRUARY 13, 2019

    Rep Webster Barnaby stood up vocally for Volusia County and for America today when he voted YES on the vote for firearms at churches. The Bill, HB #259,  will allow licensed holders to carry on church property just like on other private property , unless a specific church prohibits it. The law as it reads today says if you have a school on the church property, firearms are prohibited; and that would include Saturdays and Sundays when school isn’t even in session.

    Barnaby rose in support of this bill and self identified himself as a minister of the gospel and a proud member of the NRA. He felt it important to recognize that our right to keep and bear arms, as the Constitution says, “SHALL NOT be infringed”.

    HB #259 will now head to the next committee. 

    Rep Elizabeth Fetterhoff, also from Volusia County,  is on the same committee and also voted YES.


  • Joe Biden threatens a travel ban on Florida

    DeSantis .."It's a political attack"

    Click on image to Watch

    Yesterday it was widely reported the JoeBama administration was considering federal intervention to restrict travel into and out-of Florida. Essentially a travel ban. 

    Florida Governor DeSantis discussed the position of his state during a segment of a COVID update press conference from Port Charlotte, Florida.

    “Restricting the right of Americans to travel freely throughout our country while allowing illegal aliens to pour across the southern border unmolested would be a ridiculous but very damaging farce.”

    Florida rejects Joe Biden's America-Last globalist agenda

    Rep. Michael Waltz: The GOP's future is found in Florida

    Not only did Florida deliver an astounding one million more votes for President Trump than he won in 2016, but the GOP also picked up two additional Congressional seats and expanded long held majorities in the state legislature.

    The next few months will be a test as we navigate through an unprecedented time: an impeachment trial of a former president, dozens of radical executive orders from a Biden administration with little mandate and an increasingly hostile media.

    But rest assured, the playbook has been set. Just follow Florida’s guide.

    "Thank you for helping me put Americans first"
    When I became Governor of Florida, one of my top priorities was to sign a bill banning sanctuary cities — and I did it.  I was also the first Florida Governor to sign E-Verify legislation to ensure a legal workforce, reduce incentives for illegal immigration and put Floridians and Americans first. 
    Joe Biden and his globalist friends are trying to undermine the fabric of the United States by enacting a massive amnesty for tens of millions of illegal immigrants. The mere talk of amnesty has invited more illegal immigration, with a massive caravan careening towards the southern border as we speak.
    If Joe Biden and his leftist handlers have their way, every city in America would be a sanctuary city for drugs, murderers, child traffickers, and illegal immigrants that routinely break the law.

    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Republican-controlled state legislature are working together to condemn Big Tech companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Google, and Apple for their power abuses including censorship, de-platforming, and election interference.

    The state’s Republican leaders plan to propose legislation that, if passed, seeks to protect Floridians’ privacy rights and penalize Silicon Valley giants for taking actions against political opponents and citizens through shadow-banning, algorithm manipulation, and capitalizing on anti-conservative bias. 

    “Big Tech has long since abdicated the protection of consumers for the pursuit of profit,” DeSantis said in a press conference at the Florida state Capitol on Tuesday.

    Rick Scott - 'Democrats have completely abandoned their inauthentic calls for ‘unity’

    Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) said in a statement Monday the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion coronavirus proposal amounts to nothing more than payback to liberal states that helped Democrats during the recent elections.

    Scott, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), said Democrats say the state and local aid would serve as a “payback” for their friends who aided their campaigns during the 2020 elections:

    "The Democrats have made it blatantly obvious that this isn’t about helping people – it’s a payback to their friends for helping with their campaigns. Less than two weeks into the Biden Administration and Democrats have already completely abandoned their inauthentic calls for ‘unity’ and ‘bipartisanship’ just to push through massive spending and get tax dollars to their buddies. You can’t make this stuff up. These wasteful states just have their hand out to the federal government in hopes that American taxpayers will plug the long-standing holes in their budgets and pension systems created by decades of mismanagement and the poor decisions of failed politicians."

    “That’s not fair to Floridians and all the states around the country that have been working hard to protect taxpayer dollars,” he added. “We can’t let it happen.”

    "I’m Grateful My Mom Gave Me A Chance At Life"

    Tim Tebow gave his personal take on abortion during the annual March for Life Rally. 

    Tebow told a story about how his mother, who was then a missionary in the Philippines, was advised to have an abortion while she was pregnant with Tebow. He said medical experts believed either Tebow or his mother would not make it.

    “‘Out of all my years, this is the greatest miracle that I’ve ever seen because I have no idea how he survived,'” Tebow said the doctor explained. “‘The placenta is not even attached and there’s so many different issues. This is a miracle baby. Here is your baby, Mrs. Tebow.'”

    Tebow said if his mother had not trusted God and chose not to give the pregnancy a chance, he would not be alive today.

    "It is our responsibility to save the country"

    Donald Trump Fought For Us. Now It’s Our Turn

    "Conservatives aren’t supposed to fight. We are supposed to go gently into that dark night of leftist hegemony and just hope our Norman Rockwell prints aren’t confiscated and cancelled.

    When William F. Buckley annunciated movement conservatism, he said things like “Nominate the most electable conservative” and “Stand athwart history yelling stop!” These were incredibly defensive positions. Unlike Buckley, Trump does not simply assume we are losing and trying to slow it down. He wants to win.

    Biden’s cavalcade of leftist wish list executive orders shows exactly where we are. Democrats don’t desire a détente, they desire domination. Over you, over your kids, over your community.

    Trump invited the American people to fight back. Now it is our responsibility to save the country."

     "The D.C. Swamp showed their disdain for our troops last week, forcing the brave men and women of our National Guard to sleep in a parking garage.
    .
    After Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats took photos with these patriots and used them as political props, some 5,000 troops were promptly cast aside to take their rest in an unheated facility with only one bathroom. These folks are soldiers who have served our country - they aren’t Nancy Pelosi’s servants. 
    That’s why I ordered them to come home from this half-cocked mission.
    The men and women of our National Guard have helped the state of Florida recover from natural disasters, and they are currently on the frontlines of helping vaccinate our senior citizens. After all they’ve done in the name of service to our state and country, these soldiers don’t deserve to be treated like this."

    And so it begins ..

     . “Thousands of National Guardsmen were forced to vacate congressional grounds on Thursday and have been photographed having to sleep in parking garages while temperatures in the nation’s capital were set to dip down to near-freezing temperatures”

    Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday morning announced that he has ordered back home Florida National Guard troops sent to Washington, D.C., to secure the inauguration of President Joe Biden, which took place on Wednesday. DeSantis called the “mission” in D.C. “half-cocked” and blasted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for treating troops like her “servants.”

    A stunning 25,000 troops from across the nation were ordered to D.C. to secure the inauguration of Biden. As noted by The Daily Wire, disturbing photographs circulated Thursday evening revealed our National Guard troops sleeping in cold parking garages. The photos of the living conditions that the National Guardsmen were forced to endure come after Democrats took complete control of the federal government.

    "Joe Biden is already relying on his communications department (the liberal news media) and the Radical Left to punish conservatives across the country for supporting our pro-America agenda.

    The national media is busy attempting to attack me for refusing to close schools, shut down our businesses and lock people down in the state of Florida as we speak - but I promise you, I will hold the line.

    Unlike New York and California, where crime and unemployment continue to skyrocket as a result of oppressive government lockdowns, here in Florida we’ve kept our state open for business. 

    The Radical Left - including President Biden - want to close our businesses, open our borders, let Silicon Valley shadow ban opinions they disagree with, and ultimately control our lives.

    It seems the only way we can stop this upcoming administration from taking away our God-given rights that we enjoy here in this country is by making our voices heard and joining together."

    No Socialism in the Sunshine State

     . OAN Newsroom - Sunday, January 17, 2021

    Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) said putting an end to censoring conservative speech is of utmost importance.

    DeSantis recently explained the big media bias that covers up conservative speech and pushes far-left ideals is on the top of his list of legislative issues. He called out tech giants who shunned apps like Parler that gave conservatives a place to exercise their free speech.

    The governor also commented on the media’s interference with the election, as their innate bias hid the truth from the American people.

    “Big Tech can actually suppress this information and that is just simply ok? That is election interference if you want to be honest about it, and that’s something that really needs to be addressed.”

    "If you can keep your head when all about you   

        Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   

    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

        But make allowance for their doubting too; 

    .  

    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

        Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

    Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

        And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

    .

    If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   

        If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   

    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

        And treat those two impostors just the same;   

    .

    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

        Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

        And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

    .

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings

        And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

    And lose, and start again at your beginnings

        And never breathe a word about your loss;

    .

    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

        To serve your turn long after they are gone,   

    And so hold on when there is nothing in you

        Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

    .

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   

        Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

        If all men count with you, but none too much;

    .

    If you can fill the unforgiving minute

        With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   

    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   

        And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son."

    We Trump supporters have been reviled, rejected, and rebuffed ...

     President Trump’s Approval Ratings Have Gone Up Since Protests Last Week In Washington DC

     Click on image

    We Trump supporters will never go away

    A vast sea of patriots gathered in Washington D.C. last Wednesday to exercise their First Amendment rights to peaceably assemble and petition for redress of grievances. The key word here is “peaceably.”

    The overwhelming majority of “Trumpublicans” gathered in good faith to speak freely, and without violence.

    The National Mall was packed with more than a million souls by many estimates… a formidable crowd. Many Volusia and Flagler Republicans were part of this movement and told me they saw none of the mayhem we later witnessed at the Capitol.

    The Washington establishment and media empires have quickly rushed to blame President Donald Trump and all of his supporters. In truth, we don't yet know whether the primary instigators of the Capitol siege were Trump supporters, or Antifa infiltrators wearing MAGA hats, or both. By contrast, I recall a muted response from the media when Antifa and Black Lives Matter ran amok through Washington and other U.S. cities last year.

    We do know that Capitol Police did little to secure the Capitol, and left it vulnerable to a tragic unraveling in the face of a mob.

    We do know that President Trump said this to his supporters on Wednesday: “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” After the storming of the Capitol, he told everyone to “go home in peace.”

    I don't agree with those who seek to blame the president, yet again. Donald Trump has been the target of derision, blame and sabotage since the day he came down the escalator in 2015. I do strongly condemn those individuals who committed violent crimes at the Capitol this week; the instigators should own all of the blame for their own criminal actions.

    Tech tyrants at Twitter and Facebook have rendered their verdicts by de-platforming the president. CBS-owned publishing house Simon & Schuster has canceled a book deal with Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, who objected to Biden electors. Ironically the title of his book was to be “The Tyranny of Big Tech.”

    Big Media and Big Tech control the narrative, but we can see that millions of Americans are not buying the stories they're trying to sell. It's my considered belief that most of the “mainstream media” speak with one voice, directed by a handful of corporations including Comcast/NBC/Universal, Disney, CBS, Viacom, NewsCorp and AT&T.

    Speaker Nancy Pelosi and soon-to be Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer are citing flimsy or fraudulent premises for the impeachment of President Trump or his removal through the 25th Amendment just days before the end of his term! This is more Washington shrapnel aimed at discrediting and intimidating the outgoing President and his 75 million or more supporters. It won't work. Congress can't accomplish much of anything in less than 10 days.

    Vice President Mike Pence won't consider invoking the 25th Amendment because there is no reason for it.

    The vice president dashed our last hope for an honest review of the mammoth fraud in key battleground states on Wednesday, so I acknowledge that the objections from that point forward would prove fruitless.

    Nonetheless, I applaud Sen. Rick Scott for lodging his objection to Biden electors. I count myself among many Volusia Republicans who have told me they are deeply disappointed in Rep. Michael Waltz's decision to withdraw his objection to Biden electors after the events that unfolded Wednesday. Senator Marco Rubio also disappointed. We expect our lawmakers to stand in defense of honest elections. Without that, our system will go the way of Venezuela.

    I don't see a logical connection between the chaos of a Capitol siege and decisions to withdraw objections to Biden electors. By relenting, we send a signal that an unruly mob can move us away from principled positions.

    Democrats have dismissed the president's claims of massive election fraud. I don't believe we had a fair hearing of that evidence in court; nor have state Legislatures been given the opportunity to reevaluate whether their elections were won in accordance with the Constitution and state laws.

    Sadly, we are realizing a forewarning from President Abraham Lincoln: “If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

    We Trump supporters have been reviled, rejected, and rebuffed. But we will never retreat. I can tell you this. We will not go away, and Donald Trump will be the most powerful once and future president in our history.
