Red Meat from an Ag Commissioner Candidate
“Americans come first in America” – that was the message from Agriculture Commissioner candidate Colonel Mike McCalister this week at Abacoa.
Delivering a fiery speech that touched on all the “hot buttons” – guns, the Constitution, standing for the anthem, respect for the flag, “In God we Trust”, and fighting the “new world order liberals”, the Colonel said very little about Agriculture or the job he is running for, but the crowd loved it.
On church and state he said “We are one nation under God … and we’re going to stay that way!” To immigrants, legal or otherwise, his advice was “Assimilate, not Agitate!”.
Touching on the spirit of the founders who were both smart and brave, he stressed our American Heritage and teaching about the Constitution, which some officials, even judges act as if it doesn’t exist.
His remarks were not very different than those he delivered in past campaigns (Governor in 2010, Senate in 2012), but as then, he was well received by the audience.
On his current campaign, he pointed out that the Agriculture Commissioner oversees many things, particularly Consumer Services. Although he had a long military career, his degree is in Earth Sciences, and he currently operates a palm tree farm. He sees diseases (citrus greening, etc), labor availability and water as priorities.
Ending with a quote from Ronald Reagan, he reminded us that we are still “the shining city on the hill” and that “our best days are ahead of us.”
Also at the meeting were CD18 primary candidates Dave Cummings and Mark Freeman who tried to explain why they think Brian Mast should not have a second term.
We also heard from Dr. Robert Katz, Executive Director of America Resurgent, a veteran’s support group. This group is putting on a benefit for disabled veterans in September called “Tipping Point 2018”. Check out their website for more information.

A Pleasant Afternoon at Celebrate America
A beautiful Sunday afternoon at the Wellington amphitheater brought together a great lineup of speakers, organizations and tea party enthusiasts to celebrate how far we’ve come since the dark days of 2009. The celebration of the good things that makes us Americans, our support for the President, and an admonishment to “hold accountable” those politicians that go to Washington and become part of the swamp, was a theme that was well received.
Moderated by WFTL radio host Joyce Kaufman, the speakers included elected officials and candidates, and national leaders of activist organizations, all members in good standing of the tea party ethos.
Mark Meckler (Convention of States) told us that we are a self-governing people with a Washington that does not trust us to do so. He reported that 12 of the 34 states needed have now ratified the Article 5 Convention of states proposal.
Joe Budd, GOP Committeeman to the RPOF for Palm Beach County, reported that PBC delivered the fourth highest vote total in Florida for President Trump, who he compared to Sampson (who really got the last laugh on draining the swamp).
Mike McCalister, candidate for Agriculture Commissioner, gave us one of his stemwinder speeches on America.
Billie and Karen Vaughn, Gold Star parents, said that politicians should be changed regularly, just like diapers. They are looking forward to going to Jerusalem for the ribbon cutting on the new embassy.
Reverend CL Bryant, a Freedomworks senior fellow who tells us the tea party is alive and well has this message to the Washington Republicans – “Support this President or GO HOME!”
Conservative commentator Gina Louden told us how important Florida is in national elections and how we need to be Trump’s “home-town advantage” in the midterms.
Driena Sixto, regional director for Turning Point USA spoke of the great success they have had organizing college students for conservative principles.
And finally, CD18 Congressman Brian Mast spoke of the wide benefits of tax reform and how President Trump will return America to its greatness.

Us at Wellington on May 2
All of us.
Our guest speakers for May 2nd’s Wellington Chapter of the Palm Beach County Tea Party will be all of us! It has been quite a while since everyone has had a chance to voice their opinion, tell their story or just speak off the cuff. The meeting will start off with our Chapter leader, Marion Frank, followed by Mercedes Garcia and Delia Menocal relaying their important stories of how communism came right through their front doors in Cuba, how they escaped and what has become of Cuba. Their story is so important, especially today when our youth are being miseducated about socialism and communism. The floor will then be open for everyone to speak. Come and get it off your chest!
