Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis held a press conference at the Retro Fitness gym in West Palm Beach on May 20, 2022 to announce the largest budget surplus in the state’s history. The state has access to $20 billion USD for the 2022 fiscal year. He also announced that Florida is registering almost 45 percent of the market share of overseas traveling, the highest rate in the country and the highest ever recorded, beating out New York which previously had the highest numbers.

This is what true leadership looks like How many politicians can say that right now? The best Governor in our country. Future best President.

If I was a Floridian, I wouldn't let him go. But it's like a father who wishes his little girl would never grow up and leave home! A future president for sure!

It will be interesting to see what happens going forward. More spending? Tax breaks? Save the money for any future budget shortfalls? This will be a test DeSantis leadership.

Budget surpluses are nothing to celebrate. It means the state is taking more than it needs. And the solution? Spend more! The solution ought to be tax cuts, even when those taxes largely hit "foreign" pocketbooks.

22 family members and myself are flying out of Pensacola in a couple hours. The panhandle has been our choice of vacations over the years. Unfortunately we cannot make this our home We must head back for our jobs and the rest of the family. The main reason I would like to see Trump in 24 is that I would hate to see Florida lose DeSantis when he is needed so much to keep this a red state. He’s young so there is plenty of time for him to become a great president.

Couple of budget Karen’s commenting today. Gov DeSantis has a surplus because he doesn’t overspend. We have ANY state income taxes here and our lottery provides FREE college tuition ( with zero impact to taxpayers) for all Florida high school students with a 3.5 GPA and tuition for associate degrees for 3.4 GPAs. Florida also Does Not tax military retirement funds. So the only taxes he could cut would be corporate, but now that Disney will be paying into state coffers, his budget surplus will be even better. Go Governor Ron!

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but INFLATION makes the prices go up therefore sales tax and property tax revenues rise. When DeSantis LOWERS these tax rates, then I will celebrate.

Even the best of our red state Governors are more managers in style and job performance. Governor Ron DeSantis is a leader. There is a very big difference between the two. Florida is really reaping the benefits of having a really courageous leader.

US President Joe Biden arrived in South Korea today, his first Asia trip as US leader, aiming to cement ties with regional security allies as concern over a North Korean nuclear test grows. Biden wants the trip to build on recent moves accelerating a years-long US pivot to Asia, where rising Chinese commercial and military power is undercutting Washington’s dominance. He received a warm welcome from South Korea’s new staunchly pro-US President Yoon Suk-yeol, who took office last week, but there is growing concern North Korea’s unpredictable leadership could conduct a nuclear test during Biden’s visit to the region. However, Biden embarrassed our country on the international stage yet again!

Later this month, on May 24, Coweta County Republican primary voters will head to the polls to cast their votes in the state’s highly-contested gubernatorial race. In Coweta County, primary voters will also be asked about their opinions on the current rate of legal immigration.

They were taken to Vyborg, a Russian city on the Finnish border, “as soon as the president of Finland said they were joining NATO,” the unidentified narrator of the clip said.

For regular readers of this site, today’s news will likely not come as a surprise, but much of the nation seems to remain unaware of it. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has released its latest reliability assessment for the summer of 2022 and, to put it mildly, the news is not good. In far too many states, the power grid is already nearly at full capacity, and in the next few months, that capacity will be exceeded. This isn’t a question of “if” or really even “when.” It’s just a fact. Industry experts know this and have been trying to sound the alarm for several years.

These people will get us all killed. Mitt Romney called on our NATO allies to prepare for a nuclear strike from Russia. The US has already invested tens of billions of dollars in military weapons to Ukraine. The New York Post reported: The US and its NATO allies should prepare a “devastating” response to potential Russian nuclear action, Sen. Mitt Romney said on Saturday. The call to action comes on the heels of threats from the Kremlin and warnings from Russian diplomats that the country’s Ukraine invasion could lead to a nuclear strike, the Utah Republican wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times.

The board asked Newsom, who is running for a second term this mid-term election cycle, “if he would promise to voters that he wouldn’t run for president before the end of that term,” which would expire in 2027.“Yeah, I mean, I have sub-zero interest. It’s not even on my radar,” he said, adding that Harris, who has drawn criticism regarding her performance as vice president, should succeed President Joe Biden, the Chronicle noted.

The Biden administration privately acknowledged late last month that a mathematical error is delaying the federal government’s offshore oil and gas program. In an April 29 letter to industry leaders obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, the head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says that a subagency “discovered a miscalculation” that has caused a massive backlog in permitting. Richard Spinrad acknowledged in his letter that the National Marine Fisheries Service—the subagency tasked with analyzing the impact of offshore drilling projects on wildlife—has used faulty computer modeling on such impacts. As a result, Spinrad wrote, the subagency overestimated wildlife effects, delaying permitting on existing leases.

The shipment from the US military's Ramstein Air Base in Germany is the first in Biden's Operation Fly Formula program, aimed at ramping up international imports of baby formula to raise US supply. It's one of several measures the president unveiled to mitigate the increasingly dire baby formula shortage that's plaguing Americans nationwide - which has already led to multiple reports of hospitalized children.
