St. Petersburg, Florida - On November 7th this year, exactly a month ago, the leaders of the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) met at the Hilton Orlando Hotel for their quarterly gathering. This is a time when Precinct and State Committeemen and women have a chance to speak with our Party leaders and listen to what’s planned for the future of our State. This quarter was unlike any before.

Waiting to speak outside the hotel on the sidewalk, at a planned press conference organized by the new coalition group APEC (American Patriot Executive Committee), were 11 outspoken movers and shakers in the America First community from nine different counties throughout the State. These are duly-elected Republican Party officers who have been purged within the past two years from the Republican Party, including your correspondent. (See the press conference here) and the RPOF’s grievances to suspend your correspondent here. In our support were over 125 of the most active grassroots Patriots in Florida. The finest Trump’s base has to offer.

Sheriff Shenanigans

When we first arrived, we found three Orlando Sheriff’s cars in the exact spot APEC had been promoting our Press Conference. Upon questioning the deputies, it was determined that someone from the RPOF had previously warned the Sheriff’s office to expect “rioters.” The person who found that out happened to be a former deputy of all things, brought by Lou Marin, Executive Vice President of the Florida Republican Assembly, a Patriot group accustomed to being harassed by the RPOF. In fact, that morning Lou told me he had also recently been purged from the RPOF in the preceding week. What is going on inside the Republican Party? And why would they set Patriots up in a swatting-style ambush?

As it turned out, Lou’s guy was able to communicate to the deputies that we were also Republicans. He made sure they knew that the ones inside were the RINOs and we were the MAGA arm of the Party. They laughed and drove off to do what our taxpayer money pays law enforcement to do. What a dirty trick to play on members of your own party!

American Patriot Executive Committee

Unfortunately, America Firsters have grown accustomed to that sort of treatment. Just ask any of the many Patriots who are signing a petition that’s the brainchild of APEC, the grassroots coalition of MAGA groups from all over Florida. With 115 members from 28 of our 67 counties, APEC is expanding rapidly because so many Republicans from President Trump’s grassroots base are sick of being disrespected by our own Party. See www.apecunited.com.

Many Patriots who are, or were, members of our county Republican Executive Committees (RECs) know how divided Trump’s Republican Party has become, not only in Washington, D.C., but also in our own Florida backyards. It’s a dangerous time to be a Republican who doesn’t kowtow to the establishment’s agenda.

While Trump 45 and his base were targeted by the left, Democrats and rabid anti-Trumpers, at the same time Trump 47 and MAGA are being undermined by those in his own Party. That disparity is creating a hostile environment that will threaten turnout in the 2026 mid-term election if not addressed soon.

Vice President Vance’s Warning

In a recent Newsmax article, entitled “VP Vance Warns GOP Against Abandoning MAGA Base,” it would appear that Vance understands that, according to the article, the GOP is intentionally trying to wrest control of the Party from the base (MAGA) that turned out for Trump in 2024. He believes, according to the article’s author, that “the newer, populist coalition is more willing to challenge traditional Republican orthodoxy, creating a sometimes uneasy alliance in the party.”

Thanks to that escalating disunion, so states Newsmax, low turnout in November’s elections helped Democrats Mikie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger win the governorships in New Jersey and Virginia, respectively, by double-digit margins.

“With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, Vance said Republicans must give those voters a clear reason to participate. “‘We’ve got to motivate them,’” he said. “‘We’ve got to get them out to vote.’”

The question is, how does a Party do that while purging the most active grassroots members in its ranks? As I spelled out in my recent Substack article from October 22, 2025, we could be heading for disaster in 2026.

Vice President Vance has it right when he says, “…the one worry that I have when I look at so many of our great Congressional allies, I do think that some of our folks in Congress they want to go back to the Republican Party of 20 years ago,” Vance said. “That Republican Party was a Republican Party that lost and that couldn’t successfully govern the country. We need to lean into this new coalition and do a better job serving them, and that’s how we get them to show up in these midterm elections, so that we can win not just presidential races, but midterm races, too.”

Republican Party Of Florida

RPOF Chairman Evan Power, are you listening?

If the current leaders in the Republican Party of Florida think they’ll have power over anything after 2026, Vance thinks they need to take a good hard look at what happened in New Jersey and Virginia. While many believe the Democrat wins should have been expected in such blue states, Vance wins the larger point.

Saul Alinsky’s first tactic is one the RPOF should be paying close attention to over the coming year: Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have. With its ongoing war against MAGA, as laid out in the thirteenth chapter of my recently released sequel, “Rules for RINOs,” there is little doubt leaders of the RPOF have established themselves as enemies of MAGA. We don’t view our leaders’ power as unsurmountable. We are just beginning to expose their gross abuse of power and tyrannical overreach.

Where Does Governor DeSantis Stand?

Since APEC’s Press Conference on November 7, there has been an avalanche of anti-RPOF articles. Like Kat Stansell on December 3rd, for example, entitled: “Is DeSantis Cleaning MAGA From Florida Republican Circles For A Bush Re-run? May Explain The Rout of America-Firsters From The RPOF.” She makes an interesting point that "...the attack on MAGA Republicans in Florida may be DeSantis’s way of helping the Bushes by prepping all those electoral votes for the taking in 2028.” According to Kat: "…the Bush gang despises the way Trump has steered the party, towards the common man and away from the wealthy cabal, which supports foreign wars and big business. The common man - that’s most of the rest of us - is what has fueled the Trump train, and THEY, the rich Globalists, don’t like it. ...Wars also make for fear in the population and controls like Department of Homeland Security, to make them ‘feel safe’. It makes me angry even to say it, but, this is where the Bush gang wants to take us. AGAIN. We lost more of our Constitutional freedoms under George W Bush, than just about any other POTUS.

Adding credence to her observation, Kat says that “[i]t was Jeb Bush who joined DeGov at his second Florida inauguration in 2022. DJT was noticeably absent.” Alinsky tells us that those who use heavy-handed tactics to steer a population always do so for control, money and power. Using Kat’s logic, what drives the Bushies on a national level are exactly the same motives driving our RPOF statewide. The same control, money and power.

In another informative article, Kat gives a great history of when the RPOF began its “purge” of MAGA. The reader can access her article and gain a much deeper background understanding at: www.ultramagapatriots.com. See also.

The People’s Audit

Kris Jurski, according to his website, “created The People’s Audit to help Florida citizens check who is voting from their homes. That system has since grown to monitor millions of voters statewide for anomalies on a monthly basis.” Many call him a National Treasure, and your correspondent agrees.

Jurski explains, in a less than three-minute video worth watching, the corrupt relationship between the RPOF and David Ramba, head of Ramba Consulting in Tallahassee, arguably one of the most powerful lobbyists in Florida. Find out how our county taxes are paying Ramba for control over our elections as the Executive Director of the FSE (Florida Association of Supervisors of Elections, Inc). He also happens to be the boss of RPOF Chairman Evan Power, who works for and sits on the Board of his for-profit lobbying firm, Ramba Consulting. That should alarm every Floridian.

Is it any wonder MAGA is being purged from the Republican Party? After all, we've been the loudest voices in Florida about the stolen election of 2020. Many data specialists in our state, like Kris Jurski, Chris Gleason and Jeff Buongiorno, have been exposing numerous anomalies in subsequent elections as well. Could it be our leaders in Florida are holding on to power using the same election-controlled methods as those in control of our country have used? See here.

General Flynn

General Mike Flynn sounded an alarm on “X” on December 3, 2025, about the coup we are experiencing in America today. He cites a former head of Military Intelligence in the Venezuelan regime under President Maduro who “describes how the election software Smartmatic, developed in Venezuela, is used to ALTER ELECTIONS … including to the United States.” See here.

MAGA doesn’t need more evidence. We’ve seen plenty since November 2020. Yet, those in control of our RPOF have fought our efforts to expose the fraud since Day One. Could it be because they’ve figured out a way to keep themselves in power by controlling our elections? Their lack of transparency throughout the past five years to Patriots’ election fraud evidence, along with their purging of those in our Party such as MAGA who have been sounding alarms, leaves me with no other conclusion.

There is definitely a coup going on in America. And now we’ve allowed it to reach the beautiful shores in our once-free state of Florida.
