Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis talks about the possibility of ending property taxes statewide. DeSantis said: "<em>You buy a home, you buy land... and then, you've been taxed many times [on that]... is it your property, or not? Just for being on your property, you've got to write a check to the government every year? A lot of people can't afford that. That's a big issue. We're going to be looking at ways to bring people relief from that.</em>"

Ron DeSantis announced Ashley Moody as the senator replacement, then talked about destroying the radical left. Ron said, “The Democrat party in this state lies in ruins." <div> </div> <div>“Republicans must fight the woke agenda, and they must defeat the radical left. Florida has fought and won against the woke agenda. We have won time and time again against the political left. And right now, the Democratic Party in this state lies in ruins."</div> <div> </div> <div>"At the national level, we need to rid our institutions, federal agencies, universities, corporations of the pernicious woke ideology and woke agenda. We need to restore common sense, and we need to restore basic American principles throughout our society once again."</div>

Gov. Ron DeSantis is dealing with hurricanes and someone sounds like they want to start some political drama. DeSantis shuts them down and basically says they just want to stir things up for political reasons, and it's not the time to get political when there's a hurricane and people need help. The media is just getting worse and worse, nothing but dirtbags everywhere you look.  At this moment, we're NOT SURE if Kamala called DeSantis or not, and this is what people are talking about according to a report on <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/watch-desantis-exposes-kamala-harris-over-hurricane-relief-lie-cmc/?utm_source=frank215&utm_medium=tviews" target="_blank">Trending Politics</a>: <div> </div> <blockquote> <div>On Monday afternoon, citing a “source close to the governor,” ABC News reported that DeSantis refused to take a phone call from Vice President Harris. The Disney-owned news outlet — which is run by a lifelong friend of Vice President Harris  — reported that staffers view the vice president’s hurricane outreach as politically motivated.</div> <div> </div> <div>Harris was asked about the report as she was boarding her plane on Monday. “You know, moments of crisis, if nothing else, should really be the moment that anyone who calls themselves a leader, says they’re going to put politics aside and put the people first. People are in desperate need of support right now. And playing political games at this moment in these crisis situations, these are the height of emergency situations, is just utterly irresponsible and it is selfish,” she said.</div> <div> </div> </blockquote>

Florida will be happy their Governor Ron DeSantis dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and will not be in the election. DeSantis posted this video with the following text: "“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” - Winston Churchill"

<p>Florida's Republican Governor responds to Donald Trump being banned from the Colorado ballot, which is actually blocking American's right to vote for Trump and is against what a true Democracy stands for. DeSantis sounds like he will use Colorado's decision to gather delegates for himself, rather than standing up for what's right and saying that it's wrong for anyone to be blocked from the ballot.<br /><br />DeSantis should be against anyone being banned from a ballot, but he doesn't seem to concerned because it's not HIM who's blocked. The real truth here is that it's 100% against everything a Democracy stands for if the people of Colorado can't vote for Trump. It's their choice to vote for Trump or not, but Colorado's Supreme Court took that option away from Americans. How is that a democracy?</p>

<p>Laura Ingraham seems to believe that Florida's Republican Ron DeSantis is the only GOP candidate she can see become President of the United States. She discussed Ron DeSantis on her show, talking about the debates going on, and then appeared to throw her light endorsement behind DeSantis when she spoke highly of him. She said "<br /><br />UPDATE in January 2024: Ron DeSantis has dropped out of the presidential race and has endorsed Donald Trump. Will Ingraham do the same thing?</p>

Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is accused of wearing lifts to look taller. Several shoe experts talked about it and came to the conclusion that DeSantis is most likely wearing lifts, even if DeSantis denies it. In most cases, it's usually insoles that boost height, and for DeSantis, he may want to look taller in front of political opponents like Donald Trump who is over six-feet tall. As of now, it's mostly speculation because DeSantis appears to deny these rumors, but three experts have weighed in on DeSantis' cowboy boots that are in question and they agree he's probably wearing some sort of lifts. Politico ran a report on the DeSantis cowboy boots and the height-boosting accusations, getting a quote from one of the experts in a <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/10/31/desantis-boots-shoemakers-00121044?nname=playbook&nid=0000014f-1646-d88f-a1cf-5f46b7bd0000&nrid=0000014f-890a-d780-a9ef-9d7ac2e60000&nlid=630318" target="_blank">political article</a>:<br /> <blockquote>“I’ve dealt with these politicians many times,” says Zephan Parker, the bespoke bootmaker behind Houston’s popular Parker Boot Company, which, he says, has made height-increasing cowboy boots for a number of Texan politicians. (No, he won’t reveal any names.) “I’ve helped them with their lifts. [DeSantis] is wearing lifts; there’s no doubt.”</blockquote>

Either Ron DeSantis is a complete idiot or he's about to fire one. His campaign smeared former President Donald Trump using fake AI generated images of Trump and Dr. Fauci. The AI generated deepfake image shows Trump kissing Fauci on the cheek, something Trump likely would never do. A few people looked into it a bit further and realized the image wasn't real and now DeSantis looks very bad for sinking to a new low.<br /><br />The Verge caught wind of the DeSantis using AI photos to target Trump and posted a news article about it. That <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/8/23753626/deepfake-political-attack-ad-ron-desantis-donald-trump-anthony-fauci" target="_blank">post said</a>: <blockquote> <p>On June 5th, the “DeSantis War Room” Twitter account shared a video emphasizing Trump’s support for Anthony Fauci, a former White House chief medical advisor and key figure in developing the US response to COVID-19. Fauci has become a hated figure in right-wing politics, particularly among the anti-vax movement, and the attack ad seeks to grow this base of support for DeSantis by portraying Trump and Fauci as close collaborators.</p> <p>The video includes real clips of Trump discussing Fauci and a collage of six pictures of the two men together. Of the six images, three appear to be AI-generated, showing Trump embracing Fauci. In the collage below they are top-left, bottom-middle, and bottom-right. <br /><br />The fakes were first identified by AFP, who note that the real images in the collage above can be seen here, here, and here. The three fake images show no results in reverse image searches and have a number of tells that suggest they are AI-generated.</p> </blockquote> Politicians go after each other all the time, but using fake photos has hit a new low. It's up to Ron DeSantis to fix this by firing whomever did it or admitting he made a mistake. It's no holds barred in political campaign season, but are deepfake AI photos a big resounding NO?

Megyn Kelly had choice words for a presidential candidate who, as of now, would not come on her show or has not yet decided. Kelly says that Ron DeSantis should 'grow a pair' and come on her show for an interview where she plans to ask him tough questions during an episode on her podcast. Kelly believes that candidates should do interviews that are not always easy, face the tough questions, and 'be a man.'<br /><br />Megyn Kelly further said during an episode of her podcast: "It was embarrassing and awkward and had the bewildering, unsteadying feel of a disaster unfolding before your very eyes. You can’t look away and yet you’re viscerally uncomfortable watching too. He made the announcement on Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk and our pal David Sacks. Kudos to all involved for choosing a different medium and bypassing the mainstream media which hates DeSantis and which is hated by most Republican voters... I support that mission but its execution here, to put it kindly, did not work. How on earth were the kinks not worked out beforehand? Some 600,000 people tried logging on to watch – a considerable feat given that most of us have never been on Twitter Spaces – only to be met with messages like: ‘This Space is Not Available’ and ‘This Space Has Ended’ all before it had even begun! Not a good omen and certainly not the messaging a campaign wants on launch night. Not available! This is over! It was, indeed, a failure to launch and it’s dominating the news coverage today – the result of an unnecessary, unforced error on DeSantis’s part... Grow a pair. Like, come on for an adversarial interview with somebody who is going to ask you some tough questions. Be a man. I’m sick of the duck and cover drill that he’s doing only with friendly media."<br /><br />Will Ron DeSantis go on the Megyn Kelly show? That is to be determined.

President Joe Biden stepped into the drama of Disney vs DeSantis and tried to make a joke, but it was pretty much the dumbest joke and he totally flopped - sorta like he does going up the stairs on Air Force One. Biden said, "<span data-preserver-spaces="true">I had a lot of Ron DeSantis jokes ready, but Mickey Mouse beat the Hell out of me and got there first." OK, what? What would be the point in Biden mocking DeSantis in the first place when DeSantis, at this time, isn't even running for President and Florida is just kinda minding its own business in their feud with Disney and all the creepy groomers?<br /><br />Anyway, another flop by Biden is no surprise. After all, Biden's only good jokes are the people he hires. Look at the White House if you want to see a free circus.<br /></span>

Former President Donald Trump was on the Full Send podcast and was asked about Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis down in Florida. Trump suggested that DeSantis lacked loyalty and was 'politically dead' at one point before Trump supposedly resurrected this guy's career like he was putting one hand through the dirt as a zombie in the Thriller video. The real thriller will come if DeSantis DOES decide to officially run for president and DeSantis and Trump clash in debates. Forget about any of the circus clowns on the Democrat side - none of those people are likable or have enough common sense to run a country, so we need everyone to vote Republican in 2024.<br /><br />Just take a look at Joe Biden's diversity circus full of failure clowns. Heck, that's what happens when you hire the worst of the bunch for the sake of diversity instead of just picking who the best people are for every position. Some dude who wears women's clothes shouldn't be talking to anyone about health if you catch my drift. One of the other guys are facing criminal charges for stealing luggage, allegedly. Mayor Pete buttcheeks is running the transportation department and the only thing he knows about trains might be from the comfort of his bedroom if ya catch my joke.

Former President Donald Trump goes on the Sean Hannity show and attacks fellow Republican, Ron DeSantis, the Governor of Florida. It's unclear why Trump is targeting people from his own party instead of going after Democrats and making a positive case for his 2024 campaign. Trump should be saying positive things and getting good support for himself, but it looks really bad for him to be attacking other people on the same side.<br /><br />If he had a positive campaign, he would gain support from a lot more people because everyone is sick of the negative and toxic behavior that comes from the Democrats. People deserve better and Trump needs to rethink what he's doing. He doesn't have to like DeSantis anymore, so why not move on and stop talking about him? Trump should focus on what he will do for Americans if he's elected in 2024. Focus on himself and the American people, but no one else.<br /><br />Photo: Gage Skidmore, CC BY-SA 2.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0>, via Wikimedia Commons
