The win means there will be no change in the make-up of the city commission this election cycle.

Dee you share the views of the minority of voters. It is clear that the majority of voters do not want: the Country flooded with illegal immigration, run a way inflation, children groomed in public schools, the trans-gender madness, DEI and so on. Trump was the only choice the voters had to stop the madness of Biden/Harris/Walz.
I love the grace used by News Maven and Mr Lyle in celebrating their political victory. Reminds me how the Orange Fat Man celebrated his 2020 loss, by trying to overthrow the Constitution.
OFM (orange fat man) is now the President elect. That’s how the system works. You didn’t see “jackboot” Porter scaling the Capitol Mr. Lyle.
I hope Republicans win the House. That means the next four years of misery is all yours. And I’ll be here reminding you if it, along with my Veterans Against Trump yard sign.
The biggest losers last night were not Comrade Kamala and her sycophants.
The biggest losers last night were the Fake Newsocrats of America.
The Legacy Media has destroyed itself, and they can only blame themselves for it.
They will never recover.
And that’s a good thing for the country.
When Tallahassee residents voted to double commissioners pay they voted to raise their own taxes to pay for it.
Congratulations President Trump! – and –
Congratulations Commissioner Richardson!
Yo, Pizza Boy and Jackboot… well, what August said. Twice you’ve tried to takeout your colleagues… and lost. Get your heads out of your backsides, stop working for your warped ideology, and start working for our City.
Oh, and I’m still waiting for your response as to whom you will donate your raise… you know, the one you voted against.
