Here’s the epoch times article. I have a subscription.

“ I endorsed Ron, and after I endorsed him, he took off like a rocketship,” the former president told Fox Business on April 29. “He’s done a great job as governor. I’m saying what I read and what you read, they love that ticket. Certainly, Ron would be considered. He’s a great guy.”

If Trump doesn’t run, DeSantis has been considered a potential GOP frontrunner for 2024. The Florida governor has been praised by numerous Republicans for his move to lift all COVID-19-related restrictions in his state in September, making Florida one of the most open states.

“I ran twice, and the second time, I got 12 million more votes than the first time,” Trump said in the interview.

The former commander-in-chief, however, didn’t make a definitive prediction in the interview about running again. If he makes an announcement too early, it “has a big impact on fundraising and many other things.”

“It’s a little bit of a crazy, complex thing,” Trump said. “The whole fundraising contribution stuff is ridiculous; the laws are so archaic and stupid, frankly.”
Separately, Trump encouraged Republicans to “have courage” and “keep fighting” against the Democrats’ agenda.
It’s going to happen,” he said. “We’re going to turn it around. They’ve gone too far. They can’t get away with this. We can’t allow them to get away with this. They’re destroying our country. Have courage. It’s going to happen. I’m with you.”

It came after President Joe Biden’s first speech to Congress on April 28, where he pushed a vision of more government investment funded by the wealthy. He made a plea to raise taxes on corporations and high-earning Americans to pay for his $1.8 trillion American Families Plan.

“It’s time for corporate America and the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans to pay their fair share … just pay their fair share,” Biden said.
He argued that his proposals for families and infrastructure, which together total about $4 trillion, represent a once-in-a-generation investment vital to America’s future.

Some Republicans have said that the proposals are part of a socialist agenda designed to increase government control over Americans’ lives.

“The President has adopted the radical left’s agenda to control every aspect of your life,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) wrote on Twitter in response. “Republicans will work with anyone to build America up, but we can’t tax and spend our way out of our problems. We will not stand by as he takes us down the path of socialism.”

DeSantis’s office didn’t respond to a request for comment by press time.

It's a bunch of horse manure. I mean, give me a break. This country has had more opportunity for more people than any country in the history of the world, and it doesn't matter where you trace your ancestry from, we've had people that have been able to succeed. ...

Here's the problem with things like critical race theory that they're peddling: they're basically saying all our institutions are bankrupt and they're illegitimate. Okay, so how do you have a society if everything in your society is illegitimate?

So it's a very harmful ideology – and I would say, really, a race-based version of a Marxist-type ideology. So we banned it in our schools here in Florida. We're not going to put any taxpayer dollars to critical race theory, and we want to treat people as individuals, not as members of groups.

POLITICSGETTING DESPERATE! Liberal Media Tries To Derail DeSantis With Laughable Hit Piece

Democrats are terrified of Ron DeSantis, whose national profile has been elevated by his performance as the nation’s best governor.

The Florida Republican has become the national model for the successful management of the COVID crisis without destroying his state’s economy and respecting civil liberties at the same time.

This of course has earned him the contempt of his unscrupulous opponents and their allies in the media whose specialty is the smear campaign. Now, the activist left is buzzing over a newly launched hit piece published by Politico.

The basis of Politico’s report is that a number of whiny former staffers have gone on record that the governor and his wife were “mean” to them. Yes, really.

They went on to say that they were so traumatized, they formed a support group to meet regularly to gripe about their hurt feelings. ...

In addition to his handling of COVID which is the gold standard, DeSantis has spearheaded a series of new laws that protect Floridians from violent leftist rioters, prevents the defunding of local police departments, bans the cancerous critical race theory, and most recently, an election integrity law that has Democrats howling in despair.

It’s a sign of pure desperation when Politico has to rely on a gaggle of disgruntled former staffers griping about their ex-boss to build the left’s case against him.

Remember when CNN interviewed that woman that claimed Trump raped her in a department store dressing room? Remember how they abruptly ended the interview when the woman said she thought that rape was sexy.

Remember we are supposed to believe her when she says she was raped.

Bannon must be Chief of Staff. This was Trump's biggest mistake. You need a Gorka or Stone or Fredericks or somebody who keeps out the Establishment Chumps.

"That's all the bullets we had, or we would have shot him more," Judd said after autopsy results were released Saturday.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grady_Judd

Judd has served as president of the Florida Sheriffs Association (2013-2014)[3] and president of the Major County Sheriffs of America (2018-2019)[3] He is also a commissioner on the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission.[9] Judd has also served as an active member of the Bartow Rotary Club since 1994[9] and was a member of the Board of Directors for the club from 1996-1999.

Judd gained publicity as a sheriff with his "tell it how it is" demeanor.[6] In 2006, after a traffic stop resulted in a deputy and his K-9 dog being shot and killed, deputies shot and killed the suspect, shooting him 68 times. When asked by a reporter about the number of shots, Judd responded, "That's all the bullets we had, or we would have shot him more."[10]

I would definitely vote for that guy.

Yes, it's pretty horrifying and amazing that Fraudulent Fauci who funded the creation of the virus gets to then look smug telling everyone it will be around forever.

I wouldn't get my panties in an uproar over the dude unless he made E-Verify mandatory in Florida.

And we all know that's just not gonna happen.

Sorry to bust the bubble, but it's all theater.

Misc says

E-Verify mandatory in Florida

He's getting close:

https://www.fisherphillips.com/news-insights/florida-s-new-mandatory-e-verify-law-will-require-changes-to-hiring-practices-in-the-new-year-1.html

As a gubernatorial candidate in 2018, DeSantis vowed to mandate the use of E-Verify among all employers in the state. This was controversial and opposed not only by some immigrant advocacy groups, but also by business groups — especially those in agriculture, construction, and hospitality. Following Governor DeSantis’ signing of the bill, a spokesperson explained, “Given the high unemployment rate due to COVID-19, it is more important than ever to ensure that the state’s legal residents benefit from jobs that become available as Florida continue to reopen in a safe and smart manner.” While the measure expands the use of E-Verify, Florida does not join the states that require use of the system in hiring practices for all employers.

He's still got corrupt businesses employing a million illegals at less than Americans would get.

For private employers who do not contract with the state or receive state incentives, Florida law will now require these private employers to use E-Verify, or alternatively use the Form I-9 and maintain copies of the documents used to complete the Form for three years...

This is kinda lame, true.

E-verify must be made mandatory for every employer. Anything else is stealing wages from Americans, especially from the poorest Americans.

He could also end Scamdemic.

It's pretty well acknowledged that Ivermectin and HCQ (with zinc) are very effective against Covid especially if given early.

FDA & CDC flunkies went more than out of their way to badmouth these treatments, and in the case of HCQ even banned doctors from prescribing it. Murder charges are initiated by the States. Thousands of Floridians died because of this malfeasance. He could have the State of Florida do an investigation as to conspiracy to commit murder. If DC bureaucrats didn't cooperate fully and quickly, he could have their butts extradited to Florida to face Obstruction of Justice charges.

Everyone knows that DeSantis will do nothing of the sort. He is all theater...no substance.

Trump is the legitimate leader of the Republican Party.

Fauci should definitely be on trial for mass murder, and his minions too. Fauci deliberately funded the creation of the virus in Wuhan, giving them a specific exemption from the ban on "gain of function" research. The ban was there because everyone in virology knows that such research is dangerous as fuck.

Clearly the CDC and Fauci did not want cheap effective treatments like HCQ+zinc and Ivermectin to get in the way of the "vaccine" gravy train. They knew they could not even get "emergency" approval if those cheap treatments were acknowledged as effective.

Desantis has done a lot, but kinda like Trump, he could do more. Desantis seems more cautious than Trump, which is not necessarily a good thing. But then I don't know all the pressures on him from the various directions. He can't just do whatever he wants.

It’s either a psychological trauma that causes it or a virus like Herpes that causes homosexuality. There’s no “gay gene” as any sort of thing like that would have been weeded out of the gene pool millennia ago. Anything that reduces fertility (and homosexuality reduces successful reproduction by 90%) is quickly selected against. Darwin is a bitch.

Almost every Gay Man I know was molested as a child, usually by an Uncle or Cousin.

There's also a target demographic, usually of shy, introverted boys. A population that has increased due to Single Mothers and the decline of Male Figures in children's lives these days.

This Ephemeral Film makes Gay Activists absolutely livid, probably because there is more than a grain of truth in the hypothetical scenario.

There has to be some kind of negative feedback loop that makes societies get decadent and crumble; it probably begins with Sluts being normalized and Patriarchs being disempowered by Society, usually through Replacement by Slaves (or other Collapse of Labor Prices or Absence of Enough Land) or Government Programs (Anona) or both.

Yes, all the way back in the Golden Age, Augustus tried to regulate divorces and female sexuality, which was believed to be getting out of hand.

Young Noble Women were going to orgies and refusing to get married, and the huge influx of Slaves displaced the Roman Working Class, while Latifundia took over from Roman Small Freeholders who fled to the cities to get the Grain Dole after being misplaced. Then of course there were no hardy, ambitious young healthy sons to recruit from the Middling Rural Peasantry into the Legions, which then had to recruit Barbarians. And, without grain farms run by Middling Farmers, but instead huge sheepfolds with Slave-Shepherds, Rome became dependent on food imports from Egypt, Sicily, and North Africa.

The literal backbone of society is the Middling Independent MALE led household. It may be sooner or later, but sooner or later, without it, it will collapse.

Society could be rapidly repaired simply by doing what the First Female Labor Secretary insisted upon - no government assistance for Single or Divorced Mothers

I am for mild Patriarchy.

Suck fucking perverts, media covers for them. Like they did with Ed Buck.

I was such an idiot when I was younger. I passed over or was apathetic towards so many cute, nice girls and chased Iron Maidens and Party Girls.



Great argument in favor of arranged marriages.

My problem with Gates besides being a copycat robber baron is he’s lately an attention seeking busybody who is trying to be as annoying as Musk.

I find Elon Musk entertaining. I don't have any reason to dislike him.

Musk is raw capitalist.
"Windows Gates" is "communist elite" who uses state power to enrich himself.

Musk isn’t that raw, he needed government subsidies.
But, he’s less annoying than Gates.
