DeSantis: MAGA Understudy or Saboteur?

Original Article

Posted By: DW626, 9/29/2022 6:21:11 AM

Since my foray into politics, I have come to understand that our system comprises insiders and outsiders and that Donald Trump was the consummate outsider. He was opposed by the system on both sides of the political aisle. Admittedly, I counted myself amongst the opposition. It was only when faced with a choice of yet another Clinton, whom we were told held a 95% chance of victory, that I felt a throw-away vote for Trump was in order. To my surprise, the b@st@rd actually won. He wasn’t supposed to win.

I would encourage everyone to read the entire article. There is definitely food for thought here, and if Parsons' claims are true, things to keep in mind about DeSantis going forward. Unsettling to say the least.

Lots of rumor sources floating in the bowl lately. Trump should do a joint event with DeSantis for Governor and slay the rumors.

I see no duplicitous by design deceit of Gov. De Santis service either on the G H W Bush baseball field or the Tallahassee Mansion. Merely a record of excellence, honor and decency . But I am not now nor have I ever been a Ron Paul libertarian where conspiracies percolate.

I'm tired of the demonetization of DeSantis. He's a good guy. Why the find the need to pit 2 good guys against each other is beyond me. The GOP has several Good leaders, the Dems have ZERO I consider us Lucky.

DeSantis and Trump are two different people but they are both good people. People need to put aside the theatrics, the personalities and look strictly at records of accomplishment. DeSantis has done a great job for Florida and Trump has done a great job for America. I would vote for either one in 2024 with Trump getting the edge because he has already done it on the national level and done it well. MAGA - FJB.

It is my firm belief that President Trump and Governor DeSantis, along with other America First Patriots are working together and have a steel tight plan and playbook. These people are patriots. They love their country, their fellow Americans and freedom. They know what they are doing and NOTHING will stop them. The "unstoppable" force - demoncraps have met the "unmoveable" object - MAGA Listen for the SPLAT! of the demoncraps. They can't win anything. Their platform sucks. They have to lie, steal, cheat, kill and DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE to get anything. Remember this always and STAND UNDIVIDED WITH YOUR EYES ON THE FLAG AND PRAYER ON YOUR LIPS.

I think this is BS. If DeSantis is a Rino, then he sure hasn't acted like one for quite some time. A real Rino would on occasion shows his or her real stripes. DeSantis hasn't done that as far as I know. He says something, then carries it out without too much delay.

DeSantis looks good, there is no doubt about it. I like him. However, I think pitting him against Trump is not a good idea. Why don’t we just let this play out and see who decides to run. Having said that, I do not put anything past establishment Republicans because they are as committed to getting rid of Trump as are democrats. You can bet McConnell and his establishment groupies are doing everything in their power to prevent Trump from running. DeSantis has to be smart and should be very careful who he listened to because the establishment Republicans are nothing but a pit of vipers.

True confession is good for the soul, they say, but I am sick and tired of people confessing their political sins by way of Faint Praise to good leadership. DeSantis is a great leader, Florida is blessed to have him. Same goes for President Trump, for those golden days we enjoyed his leadership. Ditto, Bill Lee in Tennessee.

I did read this article from beginning to end and I am not impressed. From the article: To my surprise, the b@st@rd actually won. Not impressed with the reference. I am so sick of the name calling and character attacks. Just like the title of this article - divisive. In 2016, I wasn't onboard with Donald Trump but after winning, I appreciated all of his efforts. He has his faults and I was hoping for some kind of stability than the previous administration. I would have to say that the previous administration would not let him in anyway have stability. It became one thing after another. America deserves fair elections. Elections need to have standard practices, policies, and procedures. Democrats just voted on a bill that would prevent a president from questioning the election. Where do the American people get to go when justice isn't being served? In any capacity?

I would like to understand what DeSantis has actually done to support the climate change agenda. The references to “resiliency” don’t offer any detail and certainly don’t make the case that DeSantis is some sort of undercover leftist.

We have a deep bench of good candidates for the White House. DeSantis is certainly at the top, but there are others. It is my sincere hope that President Trump will stand aside, offer support and let others lead. And that he makes that clear in time for good candidates to mount their campaigns.

I like Governor DeSantis a lot. He is proving himself to be a great manager and leader. And his performance in this hurricane disaster is giving him a good chance to test and show his mettle. He is a good man and he will make a terrific president. But, he is not Donald J. Trump and those of us who like him should never expect him to be Trump. Trump is a guy that comes a long once in a very, very long time. In our country's short history there has never been anyone like him. When we speak of whether DeSantis can carry the MAGA mantle, I think he can carry the MAGA philosophy, God, Family, Country. But has he the fortitude, persona, balls to muscle through this period of "transition" as Obama's sock puppet, Biden says. I don't think so. What we are fighting now is no mere battle between two political parties with differing philosophies. We are at a global precipice of totalitarian rule with the main battle being waged in the United States. The things that people hate about Trump, his co-called egotism and narcissism, his brutal take no prisoners attitude, are the things that make him the man that can put a severe dent into the totalitarian plans of the global deep state. He was making enormous progress not only in the US, but around the world. And we see the fruits of that progress in the recent elections in England, Sweden and, that glorious victory in Italy and small victories elsewhere. People around the globe are mounting a fight and the only person strong enough to lead our country and the world back from the clutches of this evil group that has taken over, is Donald J. Trump. It is why his 2020 election had to be destroyed. It is why this assault against him and his family continues. Had he rightly taken office on January 20, 2021, these four years would have sent the US and global totalitarians spinning into space. It is why he must run in 2024 should we still have a functioning electoral system. These 2022 elections are a huge test. If we see some move toward legitimacy of our electoral system then there is a chance. If once again they are stolen or rigged, it won't matter who runs in 2024. In 2028, if with God's help, our Republic is on a more even keel, Ron DeSantis will be a fantastic president and the man to guide our country and the globe when he runs and wins.

Never fall in love with a politician. They will always eventually disappoint you. Yes, there are insiders and outsiders, and those outsiders elected to office either become insiders or they become "former incumbents". Politics is a go along to get along game. Others control your destiny, such as office space, committee assignments, and even the chair you occupy on the chamber floor. Your bills go nowhere without the right nod. And as a backbencher...you can only go up or out. Trump was overthrown because he would not become part of that cozy UNIPARTY club. His game is over. Given the right circumstances, GOPe would even find a way to impeach PDT again...and this time it would stick. Mitch has made clear he's not saving him again. Toss in the Deep State and NY legal issues, and the message is clear. I don't think FPDT will run in '24. But trash DeSantis and who's his MAGA successor? #13 has it about right.

Remember when GHW Bush ran against Reagan for the GOP nomination leading up to the 1980 presidential election? When Reagan became the nominee he didn't trash GHW Bush for running when it wasn't his "turn." After the votes were counted, he offered GHW the VP spot on his ticket. I don't see Trump following that lead; it appears that if you run against him, you must be crushed.

Apologies for the re-post and the garbled remark at 29 - darned speech-to-text (half = Hoft, etc.) Following on 31 and 32, I read widely but have seen enough of certain publications to develop a jaundiced eye toward them. For example, I rarely follow a link to MSNBC, HuffPost, or The NYTimes any more than I do to ones I listed. And the advice re: falling in love with a politician was come by with much heartbreak. I once was an ardent supporter of GW Bush and D Cheney but the scales have fallen from my eyes.

Maybe Brian should ask some of us who actually live in Florida how we feel about Governor DeSantis. I have lived in Florida for 20 Years. Ron DeSantis has the best of all the Governors before him (since I arrived here). Most of us in Florida think our Governor walks on water! He works hard, he has common sense and he is Fearless. He will be a great President if he should chose to run. I personally don't think he will if Trump runs, but then who knows. Maybe Trump would ask him to be his VP. That would assure many years of Republican rule. It's going to take that long to put this Country back on track after all the damage Biden has done to it!

But is is NOT an outsider. His choice of a WEF and CFR member for the Climate board in Florida is a HUGE red flag. A serious warning, IMO.

As a congressman, DeSantis voted to extend trade negotiation authority to promote the Trans-Pacific Partnership treaty, a globalist objective that would have created supra-national appointed adjudication boards determining immigration, tarriff, and local content; whose decisions would supersede any actions by the US government.

Civilization is fragile. It hinges on ensuring the stuff of life. To be able to eat, to move about, to have shelter, to be free from state or tribal coercion, to be secure abroad, and safe at home—only that allows cultures to be freed from the daily drudgery of mere survival. Civilization alone permits humans to pursue sophisticated scientific research, the arts, and the finer aspects of culture. So, the great achievement of Western civilization—consensual government, individual freedom, rationalism in partnership with religious belief, free market economics

Three deep-water explosions destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines under the Baltic Sea on Monday. While the MSM and governments reported “leaks” in the pipelines following sudden pressure drops to zero, Swedish seismologists knew better. One of the three explosions measures 2.3 on the Richter Scale of earthquake intensity, but this was no earthquake. It was explosion—like a gigantic undersea mine. Via Reuters: Bjorn Lund, seismologist at the Swedish National Seismic Network at Uppsala University, said seismic data gathered by him and Nordic colleagues showed that the explosions took place in the water and not in the rock under the seabed.

One favorite technique of mass-murdering communist dictators is using their country’s “justice” system to destroy their political opponents. This technique is needed when one knows that even when the vote is rigged one might not be able to beat that opponent at the ballot box. One cannot let the peasants get the dangerous idea that the opponent is popular with the people. Beria’s rationale could arguably be that that since everyone, no matter how upstanding, has done something illegal at some point in their life, one can eliminate anybody one wants while claiming the mantle of the selfless justice warrior by investigating relentlessly until one discovers

This past week New Orleans reclaimed the title of America’s deadliest city after seeing murders jump 141% over the last couple of years. In New Orleans, the murder rate is a staggering 52 per 100,000 people. That compares to the national average of 6.9, the highest it’s been in a quarter century, and the 50 per 100,000 in Venezuela, the most dangerous country in the world. If New Orleans were an outlier, it would be a shame; the fact that it’s not is a tragedy. Instead, New York, Chicago, Portland, LA, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and other American cities are part of the club.

So far, their efforts have failed, but that’s not stopping another leftwing loon from boarding the Trump Derangement Syndrome train. Since New York Attorney General Leticia James, could not find a crime, she has promised voters that she would destroy Trump, and now since election is coming soon, she’s suing Trump and his family for alleged fraud for supposedly claiming their property was worth more than it is.

Letitia James, the New York attorney general, has filed a civil lawsuit of $250 million against Donald Trump, his children, and the Trump Organization. She alleges "Staggering Fraud." There may be fraud in the reason for her action. The focus may start with President Trump, but he is just a means to an end for the Democrat party. It ends with you, the taxpayer, and the citizens of the United States. As "Deep Throat" says to Robert Woodward in All the President's Men, "follow the money." In June of 2021, I wrote in American Thinker how Letitia James has President Trump in a Catch-22.

Simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV) causes devastating internal bleeding and kills virtually every primate it infects. It hijacks the immune system, disabling key defense mechanisms and breaking the body down cell by cell. No cases have been detected in humans yet but it is 'poised for a spillover', according to US researchers. By developing tests and monitoring the virus now 'the global health community could potentially avoid another pandemic', they said. Experts at the University of Colorado Boulder are raising the alarm due to SHFV's 'compatibility… with humans'. In a lab study,

The US Army's first trans officer and her wife, a doctor at Johns Hopkins, have been indicted for attempting to pass medical records of senior military officers and their families to the Russian government. Major Jamie Lee Henry, 39, and Dr. Anna Gabrielian, 36, were accused of using their secret security clearance at North Carolina's Fort Bragg to steal the records from the base's hospital, the CNBC reported. Fort Bragg is among one of the most populated military installations in the world, housing about 52,000 active duty soldiers.(Snip)According to the indictment, which was unsealed on Thursday, Gabrielian said she was motivated by her patriotism to Russia,
Biden mindlessly yells at gas station

President Biden once again shirked any responsibility for skyrocketing gas prices and instead demanded that gas stations cut prices at the pump for drivers despite their costs to stay in business being dictated by the market. [Video] His flawed economic reasoning is that oil prices are dropping. Oil prices are not the only factor in the price of a gallon of gasoline. Taxation and crushing regulation as well as progressive policies have a lot to do with it. It’s almost as if Biden and the left want to drive gas stations out of business. In a meeting with economic aides on Monday, Biden excoriated gas stations,

Socialist diva Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez added yet another bizarre claim to her greatest hits, claiming that abortion is an economic issue because women being forced to care for an unwanted child are “conscripted” into a lifetime of work that deprives them of autonomy. The childless New York City congresswoman’s wild assertion came on Thursday during a House hearing called by Democrats to grandstand on abortion less than six weeks before the midterm elections. “Abortion is an economic issue,” proclaimed the New York Democrat.

If Democrats could pull off an upset in Utah, it would have profound consequences for the control of the Senate — and the rest of the country. Republican senators are growing concerned by colleague Mitt Romney’s refusal to help fellow Utah Republican Mike Lee decisively win his re-election campaign — a posture that could potentially keep their party from gaining a majority in the November elections. Unlike every other Republican senator, the 2012 failed Republican presidential candidate is declining to express a preference in Republican Lee’s re-election effort against Democrat-endorsed Evan McMullin.

Several student groups at the University of California, Berkeley, law school have adopted a bylaw prohibiting pro-Israel speakers at events. Written by Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine (LSJP), the bylaw is meant to ensure 'the safety and welfare of Palestinian students on campus.' It added that the organization will hold 'Palestine 101' training courses. At least nine groups have adopted the rule so far, including the Berkeley Law Muslim Student Association, Middle Eastern and North African Law Students Association, Womxn of Color Collective, Asian Pacific American Law Students Association, Queer Caucus, Community Defense Project, Women of Berkeley Law and Law Students of African Descent.

As Hurricane Ian devastates Florida, PBS’s Christiane Amanpour used Thursday’s Amanpour and Company to welcome environmental politics professor Leah Stokes to suggest that Gov. Ron DeSantis and other Republicans are responsible for the storm. Amanpour led Stokes by wondering where Florida goes from here, “And as you say, it is becoming a recurring pattern. And as the president said, it is still moving across the state and perhaps to other areas. Which means that flooding is going to continue and it is continuing apace

Not to put too fine a point on it, but men pretending to be women do not get menopause. That isn’t an obstacle to the researchers at Kings College in London. Apparently they got some money to research the non-existent phenomenon. No, I am not kidding. Why would you think that? If scientists can study the effects of cow farts on the climate, why not spend a few dollars to find out how menopause effects trans-women?

Large swaths of Florida’s heavily populated Gulf Coast have been ordered evacuated. (snip) It is fortunate that as of the current moment, electric vehicles constitute only about 100,000, out of nearly 8 million vehicles registered to drive on Florida’s roads. What if they all were electric? (snip) cars from southern Florida would start running out of juice after 100 – 250 miles. They would then have to spend hours at recharging stations, which would rapidly be clogged with other cars and trucks waiting their turn (snip) Cars waiting to be charged would spill onto the highways (snip) Those cars that ran out of juice on the highway would block traffic.

Mayor Eric Adams is finalizing a deal with the Norwegian Cruise Line to house migrants on one of its massive cruise ships and dock it at Staten Island’s Homeport, The Post has learned. Adams wants to lease the luxury liner for at least six months and use it to house and process migrants before they enter the city’s shelter system, a source familiar with the matter said. The migrants would be allowed to come and go while staying on the ship, the source said. Preliminary estimates show the plan will be “cheaper” than erecting another tent city similar to the one the city plans to open in the Bronx
