Congressman Jim Jordan had a UniParty Swamp problem. He wasn’t quite “establishment” enough for the RINOs who run the House of Representatives to get the necessary votes to be Speaker of the House. He also had a Matt Gaetz problem. Too many America-Last Congressman hate Gaetz, so they took out their frustrations on Jordan.
Now, Congressman Byron Donalds hopes to achieve what Jordan could not. He has officially entered the race to be Speaker.

While arguably not as conservative as Jordan, he’s still a MAGA warrior. His biggest mistake was backing McCarthy’s continuing resolution, but that may end up helping to endear him to enough of the RINOs to get him the gavel.
As Javier Manjarres noted at Floridian Press before Donalds made it official:
After Rep. Jim Jordan failed to get the votes needed to become Speaker of the House, Rep. Byron Donalds (R) could be moments away from announcing his candidacy for Speaker.
“I don’t know when,” said Rep. Donalds when The Floridian asked him when he would enter the Speaker’s race Rep. Donald said that he would wait to see what happened with Rep. Jordan’s candidacy.
For weeks, Donalds has been weighing out his options, and just taking a wait-and-see position.
Now Rep. Cory Mills (R), who has a close relationship with Donalds, has stated his support for Donalds.

It will be interesting to watch all of the Democrats vote against the first Black Speaker of the House. It will be equally interesting to see if any Republicans are willing deny him.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
