How is Florida a real place? How is Texas a real place? See, we can do it too…


On the day Florida says good riddance to the WORST Speaker in Florida History Daniel Perez, aka Dollar Store Carlo Rizzi, lets revisit his greatest flop, calling @RonDeSantis supporters who rallied to expose his failed Amnesty bill as “PAID BOTS.” See ya.


I am proud to lead the only pro-worker investment firm in America. It’s called Azoria. At first, a “pro-worker investment firm” sounds contradictory. Wall Street claims that you can’t be pro-worker and pro-profits. Their “thinking” is this: when you fire Americans and hire cheap foreign labor, you boost profits. It sounds logical—but it’s dead wrong. Empirically, when a company lays off American workers and announces plans to hire foreign labor through the H-1B visa program, its stock usually pops. But that reaction is short-sighted. You can’t maximize long-term returns by weakening the foundation that creates them: American labor. Markets have been trained to cheer these announcements because Wall Street still sees American labor as a liability, not the source of value that it has always been. To understand why that matters, start with what sets American labor apart from foreign labor (H-1B, for example). First: mobility. American workers can leave an employer if they are underpaid or underutilized and join one where they can be more productive. They can move between industries, relocate across states, and apply their skills wherever they’re most effective. Economists call this “labor market mobility”—the ability of talent to flow to its highest and best use. That’s what keeps an economy dynamic. Workers who leave a stagnant firm like Intel to join an innovator like Nvidia aren’t just advancing their own careers—they’re reallocating human capital toward the frontier of productivity. That movement is how innovation spreads through an economy. H-1B workers don’t have that freedom. Their legal status is tied to a single employer. If they leave or are fired, they lose their visa and must leave the country. That dependence keeps them stuck in place. It suppresses wages, discourages innovation, and prevents labor from reallocating where it would be most productive. At the macro level, low labor mobility slows productivity growth. Workers remain trapped in less efficient firms, while the most dynamic ones struggle to hire the talent they need. Over time, this misallocation lowers aggregate output, reduces wage growth, and makes the entire economy less adaptive to technological change. A country with an immobile labor force cannot innovate at scale. Second: allegiance. American workers live and spend in the same economy their companies serve. They buy the products they help design, pay taxes that fund the infrastructure their employers rely on, and understand the competition because they use it. They have skin in the game. Their incentives are aligned with the long-term success of their company and their country. Foreign workers imported through the H-1B pipeline aren’t anchored in the same way. Their consumption, financial commitments, and sense of loyalty remain abroad—as reflected in billions of dollars in annual remittances sent out of the U.S. economy. A nation increasingly reliant on risk-averse foreign labor—whose ties, families, and futures lie elsewhere—suffers a quiet economic drag. The economy subtly tilts toward preservation rather than creation. When those who build and design the nation’s products are not invested in its long-term success, growth is held back, and all companies suffer accordingly. Third: merit. The H-1B system allows companies to bypass qualified American applicants entirely. There is no rule requiring that a single American be interviewed before hiring a foreign worker. That means entire categories of American talent can be excluded from consideration solely for being citizens of their own country. That is not meritocratic—it is structural discrimination against domestic labor. The problem goes deeper. Because the H-1B system is run through a network of intermediaries—offshore staffing firms and labor brokers—it relies heavily on self-reported credentials. Fraud and exaggeration are common, and verification is often impossible due to distance, language barriers, and the complicity of the firms supplying the labor. In many cases, the same entities that file the visa petitions are the ones inflating résumés and falsifying references. The result isn’t a search for the most qualified worker—it’s a search for the cheapest one. At scale, that erodes human-capital formation across the entire economy. When firms compete on labor arbitrage rather than skill, the incentive to invest in education, apprenticeships, and training weakens. Over time, the nation’s collective stock of knowledge declines, wage growth stagnates, and productivity falls short of potential. Taken together, these three forces reinforce one another. A less mobile, less allegiant, and less meritocratic labor market produces slower productivity, weaker innovation, and lower real income growth. The nation becomes more fragile. This is why Azoria is launching an ETF that excludes public companies grossly reliant on foreign labor, and invests exclusively in companies that hire and elevate American labor. Our thesis is simple: American workers are indispensable to innovation. Investing in Americans is good for business and America. James T. Fishback CEO, Azoria Capital, Inc.

I am fine with whatever fate awaits me. If this catastrophic error of judgement makes me unemployable, so be it. I made a mistake. I admitted to it. I want to make it right, and if that means never working in politics again, it's a consequence I am ready to accept.


@ChristinaPushaw Thank you for sharing this, Christina. I vouch for your character. Working alongside you, I always observed you to exhibit principle and honesty.


In October 2025, I met James Fishback after he sent me a direct message on X. I appreciated his commentary on conservative politics and Florida. For two months, we spoke frequently, and I offered him advice on his gubernatorial campaign. I was never working for him, I never received any form of compensation, and I never informed the governor of my communications with him. Although I disagreed with his campaign rhetoric increasingly over time as it became more extreme, I still considered James Fishback a friend. We never had any romantic or sexual relationship, whatsoever. Last week, I had to cut ties with James Fishback because I learned that he had deceived me, violated my trust, and lied about me to numerous people in media and politics. One matter that he deceived me about pertained to allegations that he had behaved inappropriately with minors in his Incubate Debate league. I was recently informed of allegations involving additional minors. When I cut ties with Fishback, I told him that he would be more likely to go to prison than the governor’s mansion if he kept up his pattern of deception and fraud. Fishback reacted by becoming paranoid and delusional, accusing me of threatening him and directing FDLE to investigate him. That absolutely never happened. FDLE is an independent law enforcement agency that I have no control over. If there is an FDLE investigation into Fishback, I am not aware of it. Since then, perhaps to get ahead of any news of the investigation that he believes is coming, Fishback has been spreading deeply personal, hurtful, and false rumors about me. He has claimed that we were romantically involved. He has even threatened to falsely accuse me of sexual harassment. Based on some of his recent statements to me, I believe he is willing and able to fabricate or doctor text messages and conversations to harm my reputation. I believe he is dangerous. I have asked him to stop contacting me in any way, and I truly did not want to share this statement publicly — but by threatening to smear me today, he has left me with no choice but to speak out. I am ashamed that I ever spoke to Fishback or offered any help to his campaign at all, even in an informal capacity. I formally apologize to LG Jay Collins, his wife Layla Collins, and Congressman Byron Donalds for anything I said to Fishback about them that coarsened the primary campaign and made it more toxic than it needed to be. And from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry to Governor DeSantis and First Lady Casey DeSantis for any embarrassment that my communication with James Fishback might ever bring on this office. They had absolutely no idea and would never have condoned my communications with him. I am afraid of James Fishback. I believe he is a vindictive, dishonest, and fundamentally selfish actor who is using this gubernatorial campaign to distract from his significant financial and legal problems. I am terrified that he will weaponize his platform against me to destroy me for my “crime” of getting angry at him and cutting off contact. All I wanted was for him to leave me alone and allow us both to move on. Unfortunately he has not given me that choice.

Somebody killed 4 people and left 14 wounded in a mass shooting outside the Artis nightclub in Chicago in July. Five months later, no one has been arrested for those murders.
