Chicago News: Byron Donalds Highlights Surge in Trump Support Among Black Voters

  Byron Donalds CHICAGO, IL — During a Trump-Vance 2024 press briefing in Chicago, Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) emphasized a significant increase in support for former President Donald Trump among Black voters. Addressing concerns about maintaining momentum with this critical demographic, Donalds expressed confidence in Trump’s growing appeal within the Black community, particularly among Black male voters. Chicago News: Byron Donalds Warns That Crime Is Being Underreported in the US Due to Low Morale “His support among Black voters is anywhere from 15 to 17%, which is massively up over where it was in 2020 and 2016,” Donalds noted. This surge is seen as a result of Black voters evaluating Trump’s policies on issues that directly affect their lives, such as generational wealth building, community safety, and economic opportunities. Donalds highlighted the appeal of Trump's clear stance on digital assets, an area where he believes the Biden-Harris administration has failed t...

Chicago News: Byron Donalds Responds To Reporter Question On Abortion Protection: ‘That’s Silliness’

  Byron Donalds CHICAGO, IL — During a Trump-Vance 2024 press briefing in Chicago on Tuesday, Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) dismissed concerns raised by Democrats regarding the potential impact of abortion issues on the upcoming presidential election. When asked about claims that the abortion debate could swing key Southern states like North Carolina, Georgia, and Texas in favor of Democrats, Donalds was quick to refute the notion. Chicago News: Byron Donalds Warns That Crime Is Being Underreported in the US Due to Low Morale "My reaction is that’s silliness," Donalds responded. He was clear in his assertion that Democrats' attempts to capitalize on the abortion issue are unlikely to shift the political landscape in these traditionally Republican strongholds. "Look, they can say whatever they want, but I think the polling has been pretty consistent in every state that you're talking about," he added. Donalds highlighted North Carolina as a battlegroun...

Chicago News: Byron Donalds Warns That Crime Is Being Underreported in the US Due to Low Morale

  Byron Donalds CHICAGO, IL — During a Trump-Vance 2024 press briefing held on Tuesday in Chicago, Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) raised alarms over what he believes is a troubling trend in the United States: the underreporting of crime. According to Donalds, the issue stems from a combination of low morale among police officers and a perceived lack of consequences for criminal activity. "Law enforcement officials across the country, along with business owners, tell us that retail theft crimes are rampant, yet the data from some lawmakers and at state and federal levels doesn’t seem to support this," Donalds said. He argued that the discrepancy might be due to underreporting, driven by a widespread belief that calling the police often results in little to no action. Byron Donalds Tears Apart Tim Walz During Trump-Vance Campaign Press Briefing at the Trump Tower hotel in Chicago "Underreporting is a real concern because you have low morale amongst police officers ar...

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr DeSantis Upholds Tradition: Defending Calls to Exclusively Fly U.S. or Florida Flags on Public Buildings In a recent statement, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida defended his stance on advocating for public buildings to fly only the U.S. or Florida flags, highlighting his belief in the importance of maintaining a clear and unambiguous display of national and state pride. Governor DeSantis began by acknowledging that he hadn't personally witnessed the controversy but addressed the broader concept.

President Trump explains more about his new social media site "Truth Social" | Latest Statement on TMTG

  Photo "Donald Trump" by  Dan Scavino Latest Statement on TMTG by the 45th President Donald J. Trump Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country. America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, or go against the tide. Yet suddenly, we find ourselves being censored and dictated to by a small group of self-righteous scolds and self-appointed arbiters of what everyone else is allowed to think, say, share, and do. Nowhere is this censorship more dangerous and brazen than on social media, the public square of our times. We have seen renowned medical doctors being banned from platforms for contradicting “health author...
