Gov. DeSantis says State of the Union illustrated Joe Biden’s ‘problems’

biden desantis
The Governor had a hard time staying awake, but he found plenty to dislike in the speech.

Gov. Ron DeSantis reserved comment Tuesday night during Joe Biden’s debut State of the Union address, except for tweeting a graphic with an albino alligator and a three-word message: “Let us alone.”

But on Wednesday, the Governor turned his attention to the Biden oration. Noting he had trouble staying awake at times, DeSantis nonetheless offered a fairly comprehensive and mostly negative review.

“The really striking thing is we’ve got a lot of problems in this country,” DeSantis said. “It’s striking that so many of these problems have been created by Biden and his administration.”

The Governor went through a familiar laundry list of critiques, including one about gas prices, in which he described “people chafing at the pump” amid increased costs.

DeSantis described Biden’s “misguided” petroleum policies as “bad for consumers” and “also bad for national security.”

From there, the Governor turned his attention to the “huge problem” of inflation, which he contends is “much higher” than the official number of 7.5%.

Biden, said DeSantis, has “printed trillions and trillions of dollars and the solution we are told is to print trillions and trillions more.”

This expansion of the monetary supply is “fueling inflation,” DeSantis said, describing it as “frustrating to hear … that the solution is to do more reckless spending.”

Border policies were yet another issue DeSantis revisited Wednesday.

“The cartels are basically eating our lunch,” DeSantis said of undocumented immigrants arriving via the Texas-Mexico border.

Turning to prescription drug prices, DeSantis again outlined the state’s plan to “buy drugs from Canada.” The federal government has not signed off on that proposal, despite repeated entreaties from the Governor’s Office and the “byzantine process” the state completed getting ready for implementation.

“You have the opportunity to do some of these things,” DeSantis argued.

When asked about a positive, DeSantis paused, saying, “I’d have to think about some of the stuff” Biden said, before noting that Anthony Fauci “is in the witness protection program now.”

From there, the Governor went to familiar territory, spotlighting Democratic policy reversals on COVID-19 mitigation in schools, day care and elsewhere.

“They were the ones that were dipping their nose into Florida’s business last summer,” DeSantis said. “Now they act like that was something they don’t support.”

    Biden’s problems, including being unable to tell the difference between Ukrainian and Iranians!
    Well, here it is: the Ukes ( which is what my high school classmates of Ukrainian descent called themselves) don’t have nuclear bombs, but the Iranians are getting them, thanks to Bidet and his supporters.

    It must have been past his bedtime, bless his heart. And now he is being a crabby little boy who can’t say anything positive about the President’s speech. I think Ronnie needs to make some poopy poops in the potty and take a nice long nap. Perhaps he’ll wake up as a man.

      I’m afraid it will take more than a nap and a good poop to turn DeSantis into a man. I’m not sure what he is, I just know it’s bad for Florida and would be even worse on a national level. He’s like Trump only with a higher IQ and a real education. He’s a scary, scary blot on Florida.

    Ronnie should up his dosage of Geritol if he’s having trouble staying awake past 8 o’clock. Or he could volunteer for the French foreign legion since they’re a bunch of pacifists over there. Either way is fine with me.

    deSantis is talking like a traitor instead of a man who loves the USA.

    President Biden and his experienced team have confronted each challenge from COVID-19 to the threat of Nuclear war from a long-time enemy (beloved only by trump and his cult) with serious purpose and the most complete information available. He has kept the American people informed every day of realities of the challenges.

    In this time of crisis deSantis should be supporting President Biden instead of repeating tired talking points about minor issues.

    Whst a crock of horse manure from the usual manchurians and a few new. Lynda, you are demented. Biden is abysmal. He’s negative 34% In Florida. Civiqs Poll.

    America’s Gov is 24% ahead in approval. And Up 20 on crispy & fraud.

    You guys are delirious. We are 10 seconds from nuclear war with Biden. He’s abysmal, one
    foreign debacle after another. Biden shouts like uncle fester from Adam’s family. He can’t give a speech. His economic, foreign policies are destroying our county.

    Go away you pathetic beings.
    America’s Gov re-elected and WH is next.

      Comrade Tom,

      If Ronnie loves the Ukraine so much why doesn’t he volunteer for the French foreign legion? I’m sure they would welcome a man of his stature to their ranks. Unless he’s scared or he had some physiological problems that prevent him from staying up past 8. Didn’t stop Joe. #gerbil

        Really Frankie M.
        Gov Ron, America’s Gov served in military m for 6 years. He doesn’t need your ignorant and disrespectful critique.

        As for Biden’s awful speech. We all appreciated his providing support for the Iranians” instead of the Ukrainians” and building a wall”’ to keep socialists in. We all slept early with this clown show, along with Harris & ringmaster Pelosi.

        As a student of the presidency this is the worst presidential term in the last 100 years. We are seconds from nuclear war thanks to Biden’s foreign debacles. Pure incompetence foreign and domestic.

        Governor Ron is America’s Governor!
        He will do for America what he had accomplished for Florida.

      • Tom

        Gov Ron had served with honor and distinction. Disgraceful on your part to be so ignorant and disrespectful.

        Biden is not importing oil from Russia. Refineries and the private sector oil businesses are importing oil from Russia. Anyone with more than a ninth grade education knows this.

        The Dems/Biden did everything to destroy the glorious Trump economy.
        The 3.8 is still high above Trumps 3.5, as we still have not recaptured pre pandemic. Moving in good direction.

        As JFK said, a rising tide lifts all boats”. Unfortunately all you Manchurian haters and Corp media said, lied that Trump was war. He was peace! Because of incompetent debacle Joe, as 64% said Putin would not have tried Ukraine with him. With Afghan he’s brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. Just terrible.

        As for you h, you are a master of fake news Republican hating. I’m enjoying my day, no Walmart for me. Golfing later. Your smug belittling of honest people working hard demonstrates your contempt for the peeps. You are a embarrassment. I am with the peeps. You with Lincoln.

          Trump inherited 4.6% from Obama. Obama presented Trump with the longest period of economic expansion in American history. The Trump tariffs ruined that! As predicted by EVERY ECONOMIST Trump’s tariffs after effect WOULD RESULT IN INFLATION! Guess what happened?!?!?

          Trump’s unemployment started to rise in January of 2020 along with a recession in American manufacturing! Understandably, the start of the Pandemic caused unemployment to skyrocket!

          BIDEN INHERITED TRUMP’S 6.3% unemployment and created millions of jobs and TODAY unemployment is a remarkable 3.8%.

          The more you lie …. the more you look ridiculous! You can’t make stuff up when statistics PROVE YOU WRONG.

          Furthermore ANY RUSSIAN OIL THAT HAS ENTERED THE USA WAS PROCURED BY OIL REFINERIES AND OIL CORPORATIONS…… THROUGH THE CAPITALIST MARKET SYSTEM. THE USA DOES NOT IMPORT OIL ….. CORPORATIONS IMPORT OIL.

      Peter,
      you made comment that the Bush’s were responsible for the Great Recession showing that you don’t know history or are not being truthful. I think in this case you most likely don’t know what they are talkng about when it comes to this subject as most do not.

      The Great recession started back in the the Carter admistration as an action to get more low income people into houses. It was a long play with all kinds invoived or lack of involement from goverment to banks. It tuned into a mess of bad / risky loans all being bundled up mixed with good ones and sold on wall street. The whole world was at fault with asset purchases that brought this to a head including the London Whale.

      Bush #2 sounded a warning in I believe it was 2004 saying that something needed to be done but was ingnored. Oboma inherited a bad situation but through maybe good intention but still bad policy drug it out for way too long. Trump stepped in with good business policy and lit the economy on fire.

      This is simple understaing based on fact and no room for argument. If one does try to argue it then it proves you don’t know, are so one sided you don’t want to see or your wiling to lie for your side and or point to be right.

    We are on the brink of nuclear war here, Biden is taking us to the abyss with disastrous economy and debacle after foreign debacle.
    Things are dangerous enough.

    Btw, it is this Russian hatred that has shoved China and Russia as semi allies. Total contrary to Nixon’s geo political strategy.

    As for 3.5%, you idiot that was 2019 & 20. It’s the economies of scale standard. More people working means less dependency on govt. with more peeps paying into social security and Medicare. My gosh you liberal hacks of govt. so ignorant. It was a bottom up recovery, people working earning. The jobs report yesterday was very helpful, but inflation at 7.5% and producer price infantile at 10% is drowning out any pay increase bout 5%.

    I am the legend of FP, I stand up and defeat all you Manchurians. One hand tied behind back. I stand up to Joe H, Peter S, AG and all FP stuff.

      Trump had unemployment holding somewhat steady at around 3.5% from September of 2019 through February of 2020. Out of these six months only three months at 3.5%

      In February of 2020 American manufacturing entered recession.

      Why don’t you do some research before you post?

      Mar 1, 2020 4.40%
      Feb 1, 2020 3.50%
      Jan 1, 2020 3.50%
      Dec 1, 2019 3.60%
      Nov 1, 2019 3.60%
      Oct 1, 2019 3.60%
      Sep 1, 2019 3.50%

    You argue over meaningless minuets. Just say Trump had the best unemployment rate.
    Just say he was world peace! Unlike Biden.
    Former Sec Gates said, Biden’s been wrong on every foreign policy issue for 40 years.

    Wow, that was an assume exchange. Some good points on both sides wiht what you both say are facts that mostof us don’t know is really ture or not but believe the one who is on the politcal side we agree wiht.

    You can argue about who buys the oil but where I think Peter was at and missed saying is that policy dictates who buys both when and where. Becasue policy dictates and the privte energy sector knows that they chenged course as soon as declared the winner back in November.

    Tom seems to know the basics of captialism but somehow missed that point either by prejudice or truly not understanding capitalism. For that Peter wins.

    If you truly want to understand capitalism you need to go work for yourself with the belief is all on you and no help from uncle sam or investors to cusion your fall if it was to happen. Then step it up by growing to start hireing employees and assets with the risk all on you to lose it all including all your house, home and all. No set of books or ivy leage schools, an employee with out the risk no matter how far up the chain you’ve climed will ever teach you this if you don’t instinctively have it. If you feel this can be argued then you prove my point that you DON’T truly know.

        BIDEN DOES NOT BUY OIL!

        OIL REFINERIES AND THEIR ASSOCIATED BUSINESSES BUY OIL.

        THE CAPITALIST COMPANIES LOOK FOR THE LEAST EXPENSIVE MEANS OF PRODUCTION ….

        IF BIDEN BANS OIL IMPORTS FROM RUSSIA THAT SIMPLY MEANS THAT USA OIL REFINERIES MUST FIND THE NEXT LOWEST OIL BIDDER TO PROCURE THE OIL. MAYBE THE NEXT LOWEST BIDDER WILL BE A USA OIL PRODUCER!

        YOU’LL THEN BE HAPPY TO PAY $7.00 A GALLON FOR GASOLINE!

        Ugh!

          Your idiocy is throughout this page h.
          You have no clue.
          AOC, Dems progressive Dems don’t want carbon, oil.

          Once again, you lie. USA buys gas for cavern storages. He released twice in last 5 months.

          Peter h, no foreign oil enters America and is sold without American, Feds, dept. of energy approval. Period full stop. Domestic production is differ, Biden has cut domestic it by 2 million barrels for aoc & soros.

          Are you ill? He Biden is negotiating with Iran and Venezuela right now. As we speak.

          My goodness you are so ignorant h.
          Please go away. You must be a plant!

    Don,
    No one is saying it so not capitalism, or free enterprise that I refer it towards. Peter purposefully hides from govt responsibility.
    He does not want his Biden to be held accountable. He hates Repubs.

    Bidens/energy depart/ cut 2 million barrels of u s domestic production. For the Greens. They’ve increased Russia’s up to 7 million barrels. Blood money.

    Peter acts as if anything said is in a court of law. He’s a complete fraud. The U S energy depart sanctions all oil imported into the country. It just does not just show up at our ports Don.

    He didn’t even want to admit we purchase and save barrels of oil in caverns, as Biden has released it twice in 5 months. Peter is a Lincoln predator.

    Stick with me I am a legend.

    Tom,
    I have to admit that after I got so far down the exchange I skipped some of the reply’s. Your response to me made me read through it again to see that you and I are of the same mind.

    When Biden got declared the winner the oil & gas market changed immediatly. When it did, I did my best to look into why and tried to stay way from reading anything that I thought would have a political slant left or right because he was not even in office yet to inact any poiicy change. I convinced myself it was supply and demand as I kept reading article after article telling me this. After a few months I snapped out of it and realized what I always knew which was that the market had oil companies acted qucikly making the adjustment for what was to come.

    I fully believe that the Biden policies is the reason for gas and oil prices rising not to mention inflation and the continuing problems due to their stance on Covid.

    I also believe that because of this it has created an opertune time for Putin to make his move. Europe has no real natural resources and have played right into the hands of Putin by trying to go all in on green when that doesn’t work regardless if it will at some point. They have made themselves weak and enslaved to Putin’s pipeline by doing so. Particluary Gernany being foolish enough 10 years back to move away from Nuciear.

    Bidens policy regarding oil and gas exploration has taken us from being a net exporter for the first time ever hleping to compete against Opec, Russia, etc and bringing down the cost through compition. The argument that the U.S. oil companies need $100 dollar per barrel is just plain stupid and dishonest to even say when they were surving just fine a less than $40 when they didn’t think they could. They just had to trim the fat like any every day real business does to survive.

    If Trump were still in office Putin would not be doing all of this. All the above is one of the reasons Putin has made his move. The previous two time he got agressive is when oil was up and he had money in the coffers.

    Another reason he wouldn’t be doing this if Trump was in office is because like Putin, Trump is Alfa and Trump is a little unpridictable. Alfa’s respect other Alfa’s not because they like them but because they know they might have a real fight on their hands. On the other hand Biden is not Alfa and even if you believe he is or once was, by definition of a man like Putin, Biden has never been anything more than a yapping ratt dog who’s only a pain in your ass but nothing to be feared. The rest of his admistration goes with out saying. What I’ve said in this last paragraph I say out of fact of how people are, and not out of malaise. If you disagree with this you problaby really don’t understand this type of personality or have your head in the sand.

    By the way, I’m not a Floridian, never been to Flordia and have no idea who you or Peter are. I stumbled onto this site today and found all the comments intriguing. I do get a kick out of your self proclaimed legendary status.

    I will say that from what I do know, hear and read, DiSantis has been doing Florida and the nation a bang-up job for his strong stance on the B.S. that is being pushed on us from every angel of the world. At this point DeSantis is who I would like to see as the next leader of this Great Nation! Not quite as great as it was but still great.

      Putin and Trump were ally’s. They both hated NATO. Trump, Republicans and Fox News had a admiration for Putin. Actually they still do!

      • Don

        March 7, 2022 at 11:33 am

        Peter,
        I hate Nato and the UN for what they don’t do but it doesn’t mean that I like and agree wiht Putin. Same for Trump. You know this you silly man.

        Trump was the only person to ever go in and make the two groups start to pull their weight. He pulled in hundreds of millions by getting our so called allies to start paying their bills.

        Again, all just fact and no room for arguement. Anyone can go look this up and I encurage them to do so to understand.

        By the way, who gives a crap about Fox. They should be ignored just like the rest of the popular media.

        Remember not to confuse style with performance. Trumps style invoked a lot of anger and hate in people but his performace was very good. Biden’s style works for more people but not for me. He’s passive agreesive and talks to us like wre all children then throws in the “Come On Man”.

      He’s America’s Governor, and possibility next POTUS.
      Yes, stuck with me please. We are same voice. Peter h is a Lincoln RINO, Trump hater.

      Note, the Dem Manchurian haters never admit anything on incompetent Joe. They just attack Trump and America’s Gov.

      We are seconds from nuclear war thanks to incompetent Joe. Trump was peace abroad and prosperity and opportunity at home. DeSantis is opportunity for all.

      Hug your families and dear ones. All of this meltdown is because Hillary was defeated and Dems, media has melt down.

      Don, I am FP legend! Together we defeat the Manchurians.

    Tom,
    you and Peter seem to be very well versed in this type of exchange regardless of who’s right or worng and spend much time doing this. I don’t and this is the most I’ve ever allowed myself to spend the time on reply’s because because I’m up to my eyeballs with busness and life as it is. Plus I’m sure the two of you are speed demons at this and I can tell you I am not.

    On that note most peeple are like me but I believe even less so when it comes to the deeper undestanding of how the world works which leads to comments made and can be misunderstood as to what you really mean.

    In your exchange between you and Peter it got so personal that you missed explaing something I believe you fully understand which was the opertunity to explain to us layman that yes the goverment does not buy oil except for filling the petorlium reserve.

    I’m sure Peter well knows this which means he is in fact lying by not discussing the whole truth. If he doesn’t understand this then he should get an education on how the whole thing works and stay off the web making commnets until he does. I believe Peter played this one very well and those reading that don’t really know will beleive his side which is very important.

    Peter made another comment that the Bush’s were responsible for the Great Recession proving once again that he does not know history or again is not being truthful. I think in this case he like mmost don’t know what they are talkng about when it comes to this subject.

    The Great recession started back in the the Carter admistration as an action to get more low income people into houses. It was a long play with all kinds invoived or lack of involement. It tuned into a mess of bad / risky loans all being bundled up mixed with good ones and sold on wall street. The whole world was at fault with asset purchase that brought this to a head including the London Whale.

    Bush #2 sounded a warning it 2004 that something needed to be done but was ingnored. Oboma inherited a bad situation but through bad policy drug it our for way too long. Trump stepped in with good business policy and lit the economy on fire. This is simple understaing based on fact and no room for argument. If one does try to argue it then it proves you don’t know, are so one sided you don’t want to see or your wiling to lie for your side to be right.

    BTW, I don’t even know what a Lincon RINO is.

    One thisg for sure is that people should not confuse style for substance in what gets done. Something too many people have confused with Trump not liking his style.

    Hi, great commentary Don. Welcome, we need more conservative brothers. Peter h is a secret agent, master half truther.

    Peter h weasel, POTUS is looking to go Saudi Arabia to get more oil production. Can you say Khasoggi? You are a liar, Biden is trying to
    negotiate new imports from Iran, who hates America and Venezuela for oil. You also deny
    U. S. production, purchase for storage caverns of oil. Peter h You lie regularly, you are clueless on geo politics, world markets and are politically naive.

    Biden had brought us seconds to nuclear war with his Afghan and Ukraine debacles. His policies are a disaster for mankind. You mock this but perpetuate media lies on Trump with wars. That’s all you do is falsely attack and cover up far left extremist agenda. How’s your tiki torches.

    You owe all an apology, as a Lincoln predator towel boy. Shameful.

    Do not believe him. Feds control all Permitting Land leasing and production levels. POTUS announcing ban of Russian imports today.
