candidates, and to involve club members
in a broader range of activities. Other

Interestingly, the person at right is actu-
ally a DEMOCRAT running against Gus
Bilirakis who had the nerve to park him-
self in front of our tent. We took his pic-
ture to prove that Democrats could be so
disrespectful and clueless as to try to
horn in on our space. He stayed until
your editor chased him away.

Our Club
We’re Readying Our Membership Direc-tory—Are You in It?
The club issues a membership directory at last once a year. It shows a comprehensive list of members who have
paid their annual dues. Although members can choose not to be listed or not to have some information listed, the
directory ideally shows names, mailing addresses, email addresses and phone numbers. Beginning last year, the
directory is issued electronically. It appears on the club’s website, from which it can be downloaded and printed at
members’ convenience. Members who do not use computers or who cannot otherwise access the information
may ask the club to print a directory.
For 2018, we will issue the directory by the end of February. In order to accomplish that, the cutoff date for the
payment of dues will be the regular club meeting of February 15th. Each member who has yet to pay their dues
has been contacted by email twice in the past couple months—once before the annual holiday party and then
again last month. If you can’t recall if you have paid your dues, please contact Ron Ogden at rog-
[email protected] or by phone at 727-754-4334. Thanks!

History degree from Yale, law degree from Harvard, Judge Advocate General’s Corps, writer, wife is a TV
newscaster—sounds like a resume from someone you might expect to be a dyed-in-the-wool liberal, or at
least a Democrat —but it isn’t.
In fact, Ron DeSantis likes to call himself “Florida’s number one con-
servative,” and evidence of his record in Congress tends to support
that. DeSantis, who has just announced for Governor of Florida, is
Chairman of the National Security Subcommittee, and is a member of
several committees that can and do exercise significant influence in
modern American life. In the area of foreign affairs he focuses on
south Asia, the Middle East and Western Hemisphere nations. In the
area of domestic affairs he deals with the Constitution and Civil Jus-
tice and he works on Governmental Reform and Oversight. He is a
social conservative and 2nd amendment man. President Donald
Trump has expressed his support for DeSantis. DeSantis serves on
the conservative-oriented Republican Study Committee. Congress-
man Brian Mast kicked off his campaign announcement. There is lit-
tle doubt as to DeSantis conservative credentials.
Not bad for a guy who played Little League in Dunedin. He was a member of the team that went to Wil-
liamsport in 1991. That’s right, he has a lot of local roots. He graduated from Dunedin High in 1997 still has
family here.

McCalister, Trump Man, Speaks about America and God to NPRC on 2/15
Mike McCalister, National Spokesperson for Citizens for Trump,
will address the North Pinellas Republican Club at its regular
meeting on Thursday, February 15, at 7 pm..
A retired colonel in the United States Army, McCalister talks about
the basic American rights envisioned in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and guaranteed by the Constitution. His focus is on the
relationship between our Christian heritage , those freedoms, and
our constitutional form of government.
McCalister holds a PhD in management and has participated in
Harvard programs. He studied extensively in issues related to in-
ternational affairs and military organization.
McCalister has been a candidate for both Governer of Florida and
the Senate.
The meeting is preceded by a social hour at 6:30

Opinion
What Republicans are Thinking: A friend in Largo, who
wants to remain anonymous, offers this focused analysis
So Ron, Looks like this is what happened: The DNC rigs the Democratic Primary Election against Bernie
Sanders so Hilliary can win the nomination. Obama's administration starts to request surveillance on Trump,
his family, his transition team, and anyone associated with him. Donna Brazil gives Hilliary the questions to
a debate. The DNC pays Christopher Steele to come up with a smear dossier about Trump. The main-
stream media releases a taped conversation about Trump talking about grabbing women parts. After all this
Trump still wins the General Election. Obama orders an investigation into Russia meddling in our elections.
Obama changes Executive Order 12333 to allow more agencies to have access to surveillance data. The
Democratic Party comes up with a scandal that Trump Colluded with Russia to win the election with no evi-
dence or proof. This wild claim is backed up by the mainstream media. Obama hold overs start unmasking
Trump's transition team and staff members then release the classified information to the mainstream media.
Why? Because the DNC and the Obama administration colluded with the intelligence community to thwart
Trump's campaign efforts to get him elected president. All this Russia collusion is an attempt to cover up the
fact that the Obama administration, the intelligence community, the DNC, along with the mainstream media
used our nations surveillance as a political tool to try to get Hilliary elected President. This makes Watergate
look like a kindergarten play.
Could these conniving, crooks (I’m using restraint here) really get what they deserve?
