In Tampa Friday, Gov. Ron DeSantis offered yet another headlining speech in a season full of them.
The Governor, making the keynote speech for Turning Point USA kickoff, was introduced as “America’s Greatest Governor,” and he introduced attendees to America’s “beachhead of freedom.”
From there, an introductory round of the greatest hits: DeSantis reviewed rejected mandates for “COVID jabs,” rehashed disses of “Brandon” and Dr. Anthony Fauci, and recycled other reminders of the state’s Biden-era battle against coronavirus mandates.
“If not for Florida, the lockdowners would have won,” DeSantis said. “The country is better off for what we did.”
DeSantis bashed a “blundering” Biden, recalling crowd-pleasing lines about the President’s recent “fist bump” when the Saudis, and comparing Biden unfavorably to John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.
“End of quote. Repeat the line,” DeSantis said, mocking the President as “looking like a deer in the headlights” when reading from the teleprompter.
The jokes weren’t done regarding Biden and his issues, meanwhile.
“I want to wish the President a speedy recovery from COVID, and America a speedy recovery from Biden,” DeSantis quipped, drawing applause yet again.
DeSantis predicted a “red wave,” then urged Republicans to “do something with those majorities,” as part of an extended rant about Biden’s border policies and violent crime, including the “attempted assassination” of Lee Zeldin, a Republican running for Governor of New York who was assaulted this week while giving a speech.
“It’s destroying these societies. Because the inmates are running the asylum,” DeSantis decried, setting up a contrast with the law and order state of Florida.
“Woke ideology” and critical race theory also came up, as part of the Governor’s ongoing war with the educational establishment.
“They want to use CRT to distort American history,” DeSantis contended, to “replace it with their leftist ideology.”
The Governor also decried “woke math,” recalling the state’s struggle with math books that incorporated principles of social emotional learning and other such affective concepts.
“There’s a right answer here,” he said. “And it’s not about injecting ideology into concepts like math.”
Happily, the state now has “normal math books” and is “winning.”
Despite that win, DeSantis cautioned that said “woke ideology” is prevailing in Big Tech and other American institutions, including the military.
“Now what’s going on, the military can’t recruit. The recruiting has gone to the basement,” DeSantis said, because “the recruits know the leadership has lost its way” and “would rather be talking about pronouns than winning wars.”
“If you are willing to stand up and speak the truth, it is very difficult in this day and age to do it,” DeSantis said, warning about a “blizzard of lies” and a need for “true north” leadership, such as that he’s provided in Florida.
“I have not since I have been Governor taken a single poll,” DeSantis claimed, not for the first time.
“What we’ve done in Florida is lead with conviction,” DeSantis added, saying that he was “strategic” with it.
“The goal is not to virtue signal with your agenda,” DeSantis said. “It’s to put the ball in the end zone.”
While the “left” will continue to attack conservatives, DeSantis urged them to “get ready for battle.”
“Put on the full armor of God,” DeSantis said. “You will face flaming arrows. But the shield of faith will protect you.”

Joe, I assume you don’t care that you have just made a complete fool of yourself. Anybody that can not only make idiot statements like that AND apparently believe them has no credibility in any arena except in the Democrat party. Inform yourself.
Yes, I believe we have many morons in the Republican party and I talk trash about them all the time to everyone. All these assholes, both Republican and Democrat need to have their asses run off.

Just another dog licker Elliott, with Joe. DeSantis is America’s Gov., whiz kid Gov., who whizzes upon you, Joe and Soros Manchurian nation. You all are pathetic.
DeSantis saved Florida, 2.8% unemployment, down from
3.0%, which I predicted.
America’s Gov, rising tide for all in Florida, next for America. Biden/Harris dog food for all.

Ron DeSantis has been using both race and gender to divide America. To DeSantis’s dismay GENDER is defined:
“Gender is the RANGE of characteristics pertaining to femininity and masculinity and differentiating between them. Depending on the context, this may include sex-based social structures and gender identity.”
For hundreds of years in America gender diversity has been derisively and wrongly labeled as gender disfunction. This ignorant mislabeling has caused tens of thousands of beautiful intelligent transgender Americans to be societal outcast …… many (40% by some estimates) committed suicide.
Americans can’t roll back progress on cultural and race relations to the 1940’s because DeSantis wants power.
We need to coexist as a rich multicultural dynamic country. Diversity is our strength…. not our weakness. The DeSantis culture wars are selfishly designed “to win elections” at the expense of others he doesn’t understand and doesn’t care to understand.
REPUBLICANS ARE AMERICA’S PROBLEM
VOTING REPUBLICANS OUT OF OFFICE IS AMERICA’S SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

Clearly you zombies on the left have no clue what the term “slavery” really means or you wouldn’t use it so stupidly. But it’s no surprise that someone who supports the democratic party is historically unaware that it was the democrats in 1860 fighting to keep slavery an institution which led to the civil war. Or that the KKK which flourished for 100 years was founded by democrats after the civil war. Or that the 1964 civil rights act was largely passed because of republican support for the bill.

Clarification…Most Southern Democratics became Republicans. It is like marriage, perhaps when you first met your wife, it was love, now after a divorce, you have moved on to another women and a new love. Time brings change.

The term “wage slavery” is commonly used.
And, “The view that working for wages is akin to slavery dates back to the ancient world”–wikipedia

Gotta love this quote . . . “Ron DeSantis has been using both race and gender to divide America” Is that right? Last I looked it was Biden and the democratic party who 24/7 use race, gender, sexual orientation, skin color, and just about anything else that they can leverage to divide this country for the sole purpose of winning elections.
