News summary for the nation:
This week, President Donald Trump clinched the GOP nomination when he surpassed the needed 1,215 delegates needed to take home the big in on Tuesday, following his landslide and easy victories in Mississippi, Georgia, and Washington State. His victory was expected but extremely historic. He is the first Republican in history to win three consecutive Republican nominations in a row.
He will formally accept the party’s nomination in July at the Republican National Convention.
The president said in a video shortly after he locked up the nomination on Tuesday night: “We’re not going to celebrate. We’ll celebrate in eight months when the election is over. November 5th, I think, will go down as the most important day in the history of our country – so start thinking about it, start thinking about your vote - because this vote is going to be the MOST IMPORTANT vote you’ve ever cast.”
Important America First bullet points:
Lara Trump confirms that voter registration activist Scott Presler will lead legal ballot-chasing operations at the RNC. Presler has been a relentless warrior for voter registration for the Republican Party. His name had been suggested many times to the RNC, but it wasn’t until this new leadership transition that it was taken seriously. Presler stated on X in response: “Oh my gosh. We can do this. Let’s come together as a family & save the country we love. Right now, we’re a [sic] scheduling voter registration drives at gun shows, places of worship, rodeos, farmers markets, & other venues across the USA. Let[sic] show love by taking positive action.”
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says he will take election-related evidence to the Supreme Court. The election integrity advocate and MyPillow inventor has stated that he will bring “explosive evidence” to the Supreme Court in a petition for a writ of certiorari regarding electronic tabulation systems in the November 2022 election in Arizona. "It is something that has never been presented before in history,” he said. It’s unclear what this evidence may be.
Georgia Judge Scott McAfee allows Fulton County DA Fani Willis the option of staying on the Trump election case. In a shocking decision, McAfee ruled that DA Willis, who has been accused of financially benefitting from a sexual relationship with a prosecutor whom she hired to go after Trump, will maintain the option to continue spearheading the case - as long as Wade steps aside.
National/International politics:
Tidal wave of Haitian migrants headed to Florida. In the wake of brutal gang violence in Haiti and horrifying but murky rumors of island cannibalism, thousands of Haitian migrants are expected to attempt to surge into Florida. Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., has deployed the National Guard to attempt to stop the surge of attempting illegal entrants. However, some have argued that this will do little to nothing to assuage the problem because the state assets have reportedly been assigned to “fall under and supplement the US Coast Guard.” Read the full argument from Florida Republican candidate for Congress Anthony Sabatini:
UPDATE— Florida is on the cusp of the largest invasion in its history And Governor DeSantis is refusing to do anything about it[.] How so? Because DeSantis has assigned all state assets to FALL UNDER & supplement the US Coast Guard[.]
Here’s the problem: the Coast Guard is NOT being instructed to block the illegal invaders[.]
In fact, they are instructed to only “interdict” if the vessel at sea is in danger of failing & causing the loss of human life—they stop “Vessels in distress” to “preserve human life at sea”. (per their standing orders) NOT to block invading migrants[.]
The population of Haiti is 11+ million—experts expect hundreds of thousands to head our way I AM CALLING ON GOVERNOR DESANTIS to independently use all Florida marine assets to establish an immediate blockade & BLOCK Haiti’s invaders from landing—and to arrest & deter those who do not comply[.]
They must do this independent of Biden’s Coast Guard The Governor is REFUSING to do this[.]
Instead, he’s gaslighting Floridians into thinking that the state assets that have been assigned to BLOCK illegal invaders—they have no such Order[.]
What’s new with President Donald J. Trump:
Trump will rally on Saturday in Ohio. With the Republican primary election season behind him, Trump is taking a small breather from the rapid-fire campaign schedule by spacing his events out a bit. He will rally on Saturday, March 16, in Vandalia, Ohio, where he will help drum up support for U.S. Senate candidate Bernie Moreno.
Trump calls out TikTok and Facebook, and suggests banning both after “TikTok” bill passes in the House. On Truth Social, Trump wrote: “TIKTOK IS LESS OF A DANGER TO THE USA THAN META (FACEBOOK!), WHICH IS A TRUE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE. THEY SPENT $500,000,000 AGAINST ME AND OUR GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY, ‘LOCKBOXES’ AND ALL, AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO DO THAT. TIKTOK DIDN’T. LIKE CROOKED JOE BIDEN, FACEBOOK IS A GREAT THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, AND IT WILL ONLY GET BIGGER AND STRONGER IF TIKTOK IS TAKEN OUT. DO THEM BOTH? - AND RESTRICT THE MONEY ALLOWED TO BE SPENT ON POLITICS, AND LOCKBOXES, BY META/FACEBOOK!!!”
Trump responds to incoming flood of Haitian migrants. Via Truth Social: “Hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into our Country from Haiti. They are headed to Florida. But don’t worry, Crooked Joe Biden has everything totally under control. MAGA!”
