    Times were good under Trump. Too bad very little of it stuck. Trump was a very poor judge of people and let himself get surrounded by those who eventually drove him off the presidential stage.

    For clues about a Ron DeSantis campaign agenda, look to the Florida Legislature. That's the title of an NBC News Article, excerpted below.

    When Florida legislators kick off their 2023 legislative session Tuesday, expect a number of bills that will be red meat for the majority's Republican base. Among them are major proposals to expand gun rights, further restrict diversity efforts at public universities and expand the ability to sue media outlets for defamation — all measures that shed light on the direction of a prospective presidential bid by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

    IMHO, this is a no-brainer article about the Florida legislature's coming agenda that says it is in sync with the Governor. The writers assume DeSantis is running.

    Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis are very far apart in their views. Haley is part of the "Deep State" while DeSantis apparently is not.

    Nikki Haley used to be far more to the left than she pretends to be today, and I don't trust that she's changed that much.

    She is saying what she expects to gain traction, not what she believes.

    DeSantis Trolls Biden: From a NY Post:article of the same title.

    Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took a swipe Tuesday at the Biden administration’s immigration and COVID-19 vaccination policies, asking the White House whether tennis great Novak Djokovic would be allowed to come to Florida by boat to compete. “The only thing keeping Novak Djokovic from participating in the Miami Open tennis tournament is President Biden’s misguided and unscientific COVID-19 vaccination requirement for foreigner [sic] travelers,” DeSantis tweeted Tuesday, along with a copy of his letter. “Mr. President – lift your restrictions and let him compete,” DeSantis added. More at Source.​

    Instead of denigrating Biden or calling him names, DeSantis makes him look foolish. The fact that hundreds of thousands of illegals came come into the country while the world's number one tennis play cannot because he's not vaccinated is an absurdity that needed to land at the feet of Biden. Trump should take note of how this was played,

    Did Ron DeSantis Just Shut Down The Open Border: That's the title of the following (excerpted) American Thinker article. It reads in part:

    Joe Biden's "catch and release" open-borders have let five million illegals into the country, dumping their care into the hands of states and cities at a cost of billions. On Wednesday, though, a federal judge in Florida threw the rationale for it out, vacating Biden's executive order to not detain illegal border crossers en masse as a matter of policy, noting that the border had become "a line in the sand" for the U.S., and a "speedbump" for illegal aliens.

    The case was brought by none other than Florida, home of Gov. Ron DeSantis, and 19 other states, all of which objected to the imposed cost from the Biden failure to enforce the law. Breitbart News called it "a big win" for DeSantis.

    I can't speak to the veracity of this claim/question but DeSantis is the politician I am watching most closely these days.

    Judges, not Desantis, although Florida was the first judge. 26 states?

    Two days down.

    Even if Biden appeals and wins, that's not the end of it.

    first time I saw this one, I hope it isn't posted here yet, it's 7 days ago they posted it on Youtube. I would have loved to have been there when Governor DeSantis was "in town" :) I just want to see the end of the liberal-reign in California. DeSantis doesn't shy from speaking the truth about California and it's decline into what I see as a living hell for some in this State while Hollyweird and other elites enjoy "their" freedoms:
