Florida’s game of musical chairs has put Attorney General Ashley Moody into the on-deck circle for the U.S. Senate.
Hours before she will be sworn in to replace newly minted Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the popular Plant City Republican told a national audience about her whirlwind ascent to federal office, and how she will help the Donald Trump administration actualize its mandate.
“I found out last Wednesday night that Gov. Ron DeSantis was going to appoint me to the Senate and so regardless of logistics, my entire family is here. We’re living out of hotels and suitcases, but I cannot tell you how excited I am,” Moody said on “America Reports.”
The Senator-to-be is there to do a job, of course, and she also confirms that she is “excited” by the agenda Trump promulgated in Monday’s tsunami of executive orders after four years of Joe Biden, including “sending military troops to the border, canceling the CBP One app (and) renaming the Gulf of Mexico.”
“I mean, I can go on and on,” Moody added.
Moody also addressed what Attorneys General around the country can take away from the new administration’s commitment to stopping illegal immigration.
“One of the first things that Biden did, and this is one of the reasons, and I don’t say this lightly, he really became a trafficker in chief. One of the first things he did was tell local law enforcement officials to start releasing people who had been arrested on serious felonies that were here illegally back into the communities. This reversed precedent under Democrat and Republican administrations,” Moody explained.
Florida sued, but was told it lacked standing, she added.
Moody said the Biden administration “dropped the ball, just let people into our country, released those committing crimes into the communities, then we have the court saying that the states couldn’t sue for that.”
But change is here, she noted, as the Laken Riley Act and the executive orders show.
“I commend President Trump for living up to his promises. We have a Commander in Chief back in the White House that puts prosperity and safety for Americans first,” Moody said.

Her source: James Comer’s judicial kangaroo panel inc. MTG and Gym Jordan.
OUTCOME: “Florida sued, but was told it lacked standing.” This is typical of the wild goose partisan court cases brought by Moody, Paxson, et al. Big stinky wind, little results.

And now Trump cut loose some 1400 insurrectionists into our communities to plot another violent Constitutional caper.

Trump took his turn later Monday evening, issuing a series of pardons and commutations that cleared the slate for the more than 1,500 people facing charges in connection with the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. It was a move that went beyond the stance of Vice President JD Vance, who just days ago said those who committed violence that day “obviously” shouldn’t be pardoned.
Trump also came under fire within his own party for providing pardons to rioters who can be seen on film violently assaulting police officers.
“Well I think I agree with the vice president,” Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told Semafor, referring to the prior comments from Vance.
“No one should excuse violence. And particularly violence against police officers,” McConnell said.
Trump is an enemy to law enforcement and has committed an atrocity by pardoning Felons convicted of assaulting police officers at the Capitol! And he should be held accountable for inciting the riot on January 6th!!!!!!

Local barometer of Trumpism: Will the retired cop up the street pull in his Trump banner?
He did after J5, but then relapsed last year.

And so far: Not a mumbling word from the national FOP which endorsed Trump. Looks like instant karma for the cops who allowed their leadership to take them down this path.

This just in: FOP is not delighted at Trump turning loose some 1500 now-former felons. But, hey, they can vote and work for MAGA!

J6, of course, not J5.
On J5 the former inmates were plodding plotters; on J6 they spent their wads attempting to subvert the government and the People it represents. Many of us watched their wretched attempt to overthrow the government live on TV — so when Coach Tuberville says he didn’t see it, we know him for a liar.
