Conservative Patriot talk show host and businessman, Robert Dempster, has announced that an Exploratory Committee has been formed to determine the viability of his possible run for office of Governor of the State of Michigan in 2022.

Conservative and creative, Dempster, a Detroit, Michigan native, hosts the popular Positive Patriot radio show heard each week on the Salem Broadcast Network and around the world via podcast.\Locally his show can be heard on WDTK AM 1400 and FM 101.5 at noon on Saturdays and 11:00 a.m. Sundays.

Dempster's Vision/ Initiative is based on his original theme: Michigan…The Hand of The World-The Hand that Builds for you, Lifts You and Cares for you. The Hand has many colors…

Red, Black, White, Yellow…many various shades of Brown and finally, we are all Green Like Green…Green grass, Green leaves and Green money in your wallet that you've earned.

Dempster is proposing to build -in Michigan- the world's first Floating State Capital-The USS Michigan - in the spirit of Isle Royal. Imagine a modernistic stealth-looking Trawler/Sailboat representing our great state. The USS Michigan is to be designed, fabricated, built (and christened) to be our Great Lakes' Ambassador that touches every Great Lake shoreline including Canada-Ohio-Wisconsin-Illinois. for more information, please call Dan McCarthy at: 248-561- 7484.

“Former Judge offers Complimentary Service to Those in Need – Let John P. Contini Mediate Your Case or Do Your Lawyer Shopping!”

Hi, I’m John Contini! As a former Judge I can tell you what the judge in your case will be looking for or considering when making a decision in your case. I can give you this helpful insider-like perspective as to what the Judges today are interested in seeing and hearing, only because I was one of them — and though I won't give you legal advice, I can do one better: I can give you that needed perspective as to what your Judge will want and need to see and hear, before deciding whether to rule in your favor. I am uniquely positioned to connect you with the right lawyer for your situation.

Choosing the right lawyer can be a challenge, not unlike finding the right contractor for your home, if only for home improvements. Do you simply look at fancy websites, or talk with a referral service, or do you also talk with other people in the construction business who you trust, other General Contractors and subcontractors who KNOW the very best workers, and most honest home repair contractors?

Lawyer referral services are like dating sites, I’m told — not active in helping you choose the right person or lawyer. Those sites simply compile the list of eligible candidates in one very large data base, and then it’s up to YOU to browse and choose the one you’d like to meet based on what the candidates say about themselves, whether they sell you on their overall appearance or whatever else they represent about their abilities, etc. BUT: I will not provide you with any legal advice, but as a former Judge, I will provide you instead with something more helpful and more valuable, and that is, HOW a Judge thinks, or best yet, WHAT your Judge will be looking for — and needing to see and hear, BEFORE ruling in your favor — and I’ll simply share this knowledge with you at no charge, just to be of help to you.

Why risk choosing a lawyer rather blindly (based on a google web site search, or what a friend tells you?) when you can know the best lawyer for your situation from the Judge who presided over ALL the lawyers! " www.ContiniSolutions.com Call me, John Contini, @ 954.937.3134, anytime. I’ll be blessed to help you and your family! Thank you.

ROGER STONE, VETERAN GOP STRATEGIST, TO UNVEIL "PLAN TO SAVE AMERICA" DURING PRESS CONFERENCE IN TAMPA, FLORIDA THIS FRIDAY Legendary Republican Strategist Roger Stone a veteran of 10 presidential campaigns over the past 40 years, while also being a longtime confidante to President Donald J. Trump, believes that the United States of America can still be brought back from the brink.

Stone says Biden's first 100 days in office have put America LAST at a breakneck speed, after President Donald J. Trump spent four years restoring the American Dream by putting America FIRST, despite being under constant attack from the media, the leadership of both parties and facing two sham impeachments. "Under Biden, we have rising inflation, open borders, skyrocketing gas prices, rising crime, a stagnant economy, a weak foreign policy and unconstitutional spying on US citizens and government harassment of political dissidents at unprecedented levels" said Stone.

Debuted on his new show "Get Stoned", which premieres on the colorful political consultant's long running website STONECOLDTRUTH.COM, Stones's four-part plan includes holding the mainstream media accountable for their lies and distortions and removing the Republican elected officials who caved to the mob by certifying the fraudulent election results in several states.

His Friday afternoon press conference, which will be held in a conference room at the Hilton Garden Inn, 13305 Tampa Oaks Blvd, Temple Terrace FL 33637, is scheduled from 12pm to 2pm. Stone is expected to discuss his plan at length and take questions from attendees or journalists present during the presser.

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, Pastor Greg Locke, healthcare freedom activist Charlene Bollinger, and Atilis Gym owner Ian Smith will also be on hand for the rally and press conference.

The press conference detailing his plan to "SAVE AMERICA," kicks off a weekend in the Tampa Bay area for Mr. Stone and other high-profile leaders in the MAGA movement. He is also in the area for a "REOPEN AMERICA TOUR", at Pastor Rodney Howard Browne's River Church, which starts on Friday and lasts three days.

Attendees will hear from and interact with some of the most prominent people in the America First movement. General Michael Flynn and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell will join Stone as headline speakers, with dozens of other activists.

If you are interested in attending the press conference or interviewing Roger Stone about his plan to "SAVE AMERICA" or discuss his participation in the "REOPEN AMERICA TOUR", please contact Kristin Davis at kristin@thinkrightpr.com

Florida Governor Ron Desantis signs Right to Farm Bill #SB88 with overwhelming support:

Governor Ron DeSantis signed SB 88, Farming Operations, preserving Florida’s agricultural heritage and modernizing Florida’s Right to Farm Act which regulates agriculture throughout the state of Florida. The Governor was joined at the bill signing ceremony by Florida farmers, Senate President Wilton Simpson, and bill sponsors, Senator Jason Brodeur and Representative Jayer Williamson, highlighting the strong bipartisan support of SB 88.

Speaker Chris Sprowls (R-Palm Harbor) said, “It was a pleasure to partner with President Simpson on his passion project to protect Florida’s agriculture industry. With his leadership, Florida’s farming land remembered will never be forgotten. The Right to Farm law recognizes the importance of the agriculture industry to Florida’s economy and putting food on our tables. It gives farmers the protections they need to do their job without fear of nuisance lawsuits. I’ve often said that you occasionally need a doctor, you sometimes need a lawyer, but you’ll always need a farmer – three times a day.”

Steve Singleton, owner of Singleton and Sons Farm located in Hastings, Florida said, “My family and I have been farming on hundreds of acres for over 30 years. We pride ourselves on our family motto: ‘Save your money, work hard, and be patient.’ Our values are focused on finding innovative ways to farm and combat the rising concern of food insecurity. Thank you, Governor DeSantis, for signing Senate Bill 88 into law. Now we can focus on work that matters for the farm and for our community. My sons will be able to continue the legacy of our family-owned operation without the threat of costly and detrimental nuisance lawsuits.”

Shedrick McGriff, recipient of the 2018 Outstanding Farm Family of Jackson County, Florida said, “When it comes to farming, I have a philosophy: ‘You do your part, and let the Lord do his part.’ That’s why I do everything I can to support a successful harvest season. However, the growing threat of nuisance lawsuits can be a costly distraction from our efforts to see, grow and harvest our crop. I’m grateful to Governor Ron DeSantis for signing Senate Bill 88 into law this year.

This legislation strengthens Florida’s Right to Farm, allowing us to focus on what we do best: raising peanuts, cotton, peas, corn hay and beef cows!”

Matt Griffin, Recipient of the Young Farmers & Ranchers’ 2020 Excellence in Agriculture Award and a farm manager in Lake County, Florida said, “Agriculture is one of our state’s key pillars historically and economically. The industry is constantly facing old and new challenges alike and continues to try and stand tall to those presently faced. One such challenge as we know is that of the increasing threat of nuisance and costly lawsuits. These actions could unintentionally or not undermine the foundation of one of our state’s chief economic drivers. Senate Bill 88 being signed will help to ensure the longevity of Florida agriculture and Florida’s farmers, ranchers and agriculturalists to thrive. It also helps to ensure that young professionals like myself and others can be part of an industry that has a rich legacy, but also a bright and vibrant future. I applaud and thank Governor Ron DeSantis for his support and everyone that helped make this possible.”

Representative Jayer Williamson (R-Pace) said, “This is a law that protects Florida farmers who are doing the right thing from nuisance lawsuits. If you are breaking environmental laws this law will not give you any safe harbor.”

Janet Taylor, Glades Lives Matter, said, “Our communities depend on farming for jobs, community support, and food to feed our families. We appreciate Governor DeSantis for recognizing the farmers need to have long-term certainty so that they can continue to provide our state with jobs and food for our nation.”

Goal Mind is one of the most comprehensive books on goals, and is a must-read for anyone looking for their path to achievement.""Frustration and setbacks are simpler to overcome than most people may think. I go beyond the obvious and address the questions a lot of people have when it comes to how they can achieve their goals quickly, so they can get back to living a life they desire with a lot less stress. I get it, because I used to be one of those who was searching for the very same answers. I have found that when people discover the answers they seek, they gain a renewed hope through the assurance that they can have, be, do, or become anything they desire. Goal Mind reveals the path to do just that."Goal Mind will be released on October 1st.

Brady, McCarthy, House Republican Committee Leaders Introduce the Commitment to Defeat the Virus and Keep America Healthy Act! WASHINGTON — The top Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee Kevin Brady (R-TX) joined House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC), Energy and Commerce Republican Leader Greg Walden (R-OR), and Appropriations Republican Leader Kay Granger (R-TX) in introducing H.R. 14, the Commitment to Defeat the Virus and Keep America Healthy Act.Upon introduction the bill, Rep. Brady released the following statement:“Defeating Covid-19 means investing in healthy families and safe workplaces, and becoming medically independent from China.“Through tax incentives we expand access to affordable, quality health care, help businesses create safe workplaces for their employees and customers, and reward businesses for producing crucial medicines and medical supplies here in America rather than in China.“While Democrats sabotage the economy and deny crucial Covid aid ahead of the election. Republicans are focused on accelerating treatments and cures, helping families and reconnecting workers with their jobs.” Key Points: Unlike Speaker Pelosi’s massive bill, H.R. 14 is a serious, targeted proposal that builds off the lessons learned during the pandemic and ensures future preparedness, as well as addresses immediate needs on testing and vaccine distribution. This is not a partisan wishlist like we’ve seen from House Democrats; this legislation is made up of bipartisan proposals that could and would actually become law.Innovation is what will help us defeat COVID-19 and Republicans have shown time and time again we are serious about supporting and protecting innovation across our health care system.This proposal ensures Americans, especially seniors, can access the care they need – whether it be mental health or telehealth services.This bill includes commonsense polices to help families that are struggling with child care and health care costs by expanding access to tax-free spending and saving for these needs.This bill builds on the work done by the administration to strengthen our Strategic National Stockpile so we can better respond to COVID-19 and future public health emergencies.We’ve seen the impact over reliance on foreign countries like China can have, especially during a public health emergency, and this legislation would strengthen critical domestic health care supply chains.

Kelly Corrects the Record on Dems’ Health Care Claims in Subcommittee Hearing The top Republican on the Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee Mike Kelly (R-PA) delivered the following opening statement at a Subcommittee hearing.

“Thank you for holding this hearing today, Mr. Chairman.“First and foremost, this is a very tough time. My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone who has lost a family member or loved one from this virus.“And during this time, the cost of health care is on the minds of many Americans, so I appreciate the opportunity to discuss these issues today.“Our health care system is far from perfect.“But, with a hearing like this, I’m also reminded of how fortunate we are to live in a country with access to the most innovative health care on the planet.

“As I sit here today, we have made positive progress on stabilizing the ACA’s exchanges: Insurance premiums are down, coverage choices are up, and enrollment is stable.

“Sadly, many Democrats simply want an unpopular and partisan government takeover of health care when we should be working together to lower costs and increase coverage options.“Their one-size-fits-all approach is wrong—their plans will take choice away from hard working Americans in my district who like their current health insurance.“The Affordable Care Act is ten years old. Much of that law has changed in the last ten years—on a bipartisan basis. Yet Democrats keep looking to the past rather than working together to improve the future for the American people.“But we can build on recent successes in health care policy by continuing to bring down premium prices and by increasing coverage choices for all Americans!“I hope we can stop the fear mongering on this issue and come together in the near future to work on bipartisan reforms that will improve the lives of our constituents.“Thank you Mr. Chairman, I yield back.”

“Democrats have been trying to block these efforts, using scare-tactics to stop the progress of this Administration.“What tactics? Well, like saying that Republicans would eliminate coverage for folks with pre-existing conditions, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

Enter Dragos Sprinceana

From Chicago Humble Beginnings to Wealth to Trump Victory!!

Dragos Sprinceana is the Founder and CEO of Gold Coast Logistics Group & DMG. He is the epitome of a true American Success Story. Having personally donated over a quarter million dollars to Republican candidates in the past year he has also opened up his home for fundraising events, coached candidates who ran for office, donated his yacht for Trump floatilla events and connected the dots in the business community to increase voter turnout via education, connections and hard work!

Q) How did you get started in your business? (Gold Coast Logistics Group & DMG) A) I used to work in the Finance world - Lending for major corporations. Elite Financial, Citi Group etc. I always wanted to invent a cheap product and sell it to millions. Instead I decided to provide an existing service but customized according to my own formula in Interstate Transportation. I started from 2 Cargo Sprinters, and 1 year later we acquired 3 semi trucks and trailers. We now have over 450 trucks on the road and 600 employees.

Q) How did your politics evolve?

A) I grew up in Chicago for the past 18 years where everyone was a Democrat. Now I barely know a couple of people that still are. Everyone flipped to the Republican side. I was raised by my parents with a conservative mentality. That’s why I identify with GOP! I’m raising my children the same way. Strong Family values, respect, honesty and hard work. This country offered me everything I have. It’s time for me to give this country back .....

Q) Do you run your own PAC? A) No!, I help assist many local candidates, I participate in local events events and I donate as much as I can locally and nationally - for our future and the future of our children!

I personally donate to candidates whom I feel may have good chances of victory and with good moral character!!

Dragos: This was me yesterday 10/29/20 and today I was in the President's House!! :)
