Republican Nick Howland flipped a Jacksonville, Florida, city council seat in a heavy Democrat district that swung for President Biden in 2020.

Duval County election results from Tuesday night showed that Howland defeated Democrat Trayce Polson with a sizeable majority of 68,599 votes versus her 64,113 votes – 51.69 percent versus 48.31 percent.

The big story that the lamestream media is refusing to cover is the impending RINO primary purge.

Not only will there be a red wave in the Midterms, but that red wave will usher in MAGA challengers who sent RINO traitors packing.

I voted in this election (for Howland, of course) and one of the things that made this happen is that for once the GOP actually made an effort to get out the vote. I must have received a text a day once early voting started, reminding me to vote. On election day itself (which was when I voted), I received several. It worked. And it’s the first time I’ve seen the GOP put out so much effort to GOTV.

Yes it was a blessing. A Montgomery county Md full blown lib. It was considered a toss up seat but the local pro police city politician won verses the carpetbagger. Her last education was a doctorate in social studies from Smith College (says it all). Lastly, here is a blurb from a support letter:

Unlike her opponent, Tracye is actually campaigning for our city’s LGBTQ+ residents. As a clinical social worker and mental health professional, she has an intimate understanding of the systemic inequities that plague our community. In fact, she’s crafted the most detailed LGBTQ+ equality platform of any city council candidate so far in Jacksonville’s history.

Its no wonder liberals like her love government so much. What else are they going to do with their “higher education”?

Very good point!

That said, it is starting to appear that people are really getting tired of the liberal craziness.

Another thing is that the GOP is training and putting more poll watchers in precincts. This has been something that they have been doing for the past year (the Virginia governor’s election being the most prominent example).

In an era of Shifting word meanings, it’s worthwhile to ponder exactly what the term “mental health professional” might mean.

Bless those poll watchers. Not an easy job.

A friend of mine was one in a blue state.

A lot of the poll workers don’t like being watched — at all.

All the Naval officers I knew commuted from Clay into Duval.

A good example for all of us to get involved and not just sit there in front of the computer.

“A well-regulated militia being necessary.................”

What is it necessary for? It is not about guns, it is the mission.

48% for the RATS in a Florida district. Shows the morons on the left with the country decaying so quickly.

So it begins

Let's hope, and let's hope the newly elected Republicans are not rinos.
