Watch closely. Decide for yourself.

A dad gets to brag sometimes. I've been staring at this picture all day.

This is my son at Navy Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island. He's past indoctrination, deep in the Junior Officer Candidate phase, and next week moves into the Senior Officer Candidate phase.
Commissioning in August.

He chose Cryptological Warfare. The kind of work that happens in the shadows and protects everything on the surface.

I've watched him work for this. Not handed to him. Earned every step. August can't come soon enough. Thank you God. Our country needs men like him.

Hey Max — thanks for the public commitment last night at
Republican Party of Sarasota REC meeting.

"Sydney Gruters will debate anybody, anywhere." Your words. In a room full of witnesses.

So let's handle some old business.

Back on April 8th, Jack May — President of the Manatee Patriots, one of the oldest conservative organizations in Manatee County — sent you this email inviting Sydney to debate me at Mixon Farms Pavilion in Bradenton. 350-person venue. Live-streamed. Local media invited. He offered six different dates.

You never responded.

All of those dates have now passed.

Max, you said anywhere. Jack May offered a specific place, a specific venue, and six specific dates. The Manatee Patriots have been meeting every Tuesday for eighteen years. They've hosted big events in the past and they are ready for this debate.

Will you respond to Jack May's email?

FL-16 Republican voters are watching. August 18 is coming fast.

Tonight I walked into Chairman Joe Gruters' backyard and took the mic.

Sarasota REC. His machine. His room.

I opened with this: "You want informed voters? Informed voters deserve a debate."

Then I looked directly at Max Goodman — Sydney's campaign manager, sitting right there in the crowd — and I asked the question out loud:

"Will Sydney debate me?"

I paused. The room went quiet.

Max Goodman stood up and answered: "Sydney Gruters will debate anybody, anywhere."

Great. Let's go.

Max we are waiting for your response to Manatee Patriots and Tiger Bay Manatee County still has you not-confirmed for the June 17th candidate forum (still not a debate but close). Please respond. We've been waiting. The whole district has been waiting. We need a real Republican primary debate. FL-16 voters deserve to see both of us on stage answering real questions.

No more closed-door events. No more hand-picked rooms. A real debate, in front of real voters.

You said anywhere. Sydney told me she would. I'm holding you to it.

Florida is giving away land, water, power, and tax dollars to build AI data centers, and the basic questions still haven’t been answered.

Who pays when the grid needs upgrading? What happens to our aquifer?

Whose work is being stolen to train these machines? Our writers, our coders, our creators.

Where is the protection for their intellectual property?

And what happens when AI gets wired into every camera on every corner? That’s not safety. That’s a surveillance state with a friendly logo, built to watch We the People.
They tell us we have no choice. They say we have to win the AI race, and this is the only way to do it. That’s the lie. National security is the excuse they use to hand our land and our resources to a handful of companies who answer to no one.

This video imagines where the road leads if we don’t stop and ask those questions now, before the concrete is poured and the deals are signed.

I’m not anti technology, I’m anti government controlled monopolies.

We need to slow down, ask questions and listen to We The People.

DeSoto County — I'll be in Arcadia this Saturday. In person. No staff. No surrogate. Me.

The DeSoto GOP Meet & Greet is free and open to everyone. Come ask me anything — data centers, water rights, Epstein files, why I'm running, whatever's on your mind.

One of my opponents is sending a representative instead of showing up herself.

That tells you everything you need to know about how she would represent you in Washington.

SATURDAY, JUNE 13
11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Arcadia American Legion • Veteran's Park

Primary is August 18. Early voting starts August 8.

The establishment spent a fortune last night to show exactly how few people they have left. The Manatee County Republican Executive Committee held their Summer Kick-Off at Gold Coast Eagle Distributing in Sarasota. Invitation only. Open bar. Setup for 100 people. Approximately 35 showed up. 22 of which were elected officials, candidates and donors. That means 12 REC members. And of the 12 a few of them are there only to watch and report the implosion. No photos and no video allowed. When your own party event bans cameras you already know why.

For those who don't know what's been happening — the RPOF under Chairman Joe Gruters has been systematically purging elected Republican committeemen and women across Florida for supporting candidates he didn't personally approve. In Manatee County alone they overturned a duly held election and kicked out roughly 180 active Republicans who refused to bow to the donor class running the operation. That's the context here.

The message to the 35 people who showed up was simple. Stay in your lane. Just be a warm body for whoever the establishment already selected. They also took a shot at America First Republicans in the room. Apparently felt the need to talk about the movement they're trying to suppress.

This is the Manatee Republican Party in 2026. Expensive venue, empty room, closed doors and top down control with no grassroots energy in sight. Perhaps they'll change the rules again and go back to Covid restrictions to coverup the Biden-like energy in the room.

What we Republicans need is the energy of the base. Something drastic needs to be done. I'd start with firing Joe Gruters as Chair of the RNC. When his hometown REC is this sad, it is clear purging conservatives from the party is not a winning formula.
