NatCon3 Miami: DeSantis outlines vision for anti-capitalist, state control while simultaneously claiming Biden “regime” controls big tech
You can’t make this stuff up. Watch the below speech, delivered earlier this week at the National Conservative conference in Miami. A combination of laughable and highly-charged frightening stuff.
DeSantis grudge against Florida leads to fewer professional opportunities for Floridians
Florida GOPers love to talk about creating a positive business climate in the state. Perhaps this is the case for low wage, non-professional jobs, but as time goes on, it becomes clearer, Florida is NOT a destination for higher-wage, professional jobs. Governor DeSantis attacks on “woke corporations,” as well as the open hostility he’s displayed […]
DeSantis and toll roads – the end of the romance shows, performance art > governing for him
The most blatant pandering possible was undertaken by Governor Ron DeSantis this week as he announced in Orlando. DeSantis claims the six-month program, essentially a toll rebate for frequent Sun Pass users, will save commuters an estimated $38 million. Ironically, despite being announced in Orlando, most toll roads in Orange County are NOT covered by […]
The race of our lives – Crist v DeSantis : Sunshine v Darkness
Florida is the Sunshine State. However, we not only have been covered by dark clouds the last four years, but we face the prospect of permanent descent into our own Dark Ages where individualism, tribalism and selfishness will prevail over our collective goals. This November, we face the most critical choice imaginable. Return to the […]
Governor Crist comes out swinging as he absolutely NAILS a CNN interview
The best messaging yet against Autocrat Ron DeSantis was found in this interview of Charlie Crist by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.

Alex Jones on DeSantis: “We have someone who is better than Trump. Way better than Trump”

Interestingly Jones does have a history with Florida elected officials having once played host to Alan Grayson, currently a candidate in Florida’s 10th Congressional District Democratic Primary.
Jewish Democratic leaders call upon DeSantis to cancel appearance with Doug Mastriano
On Friday, Governor Ron DeSantis is scheduled to host a rally for Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, despite Mastriano’s connections to Gab and notable antisemitic extremists like Andrew Torba. Ahead of that rally, the Florida Democratic Party Jewish Caucus Board issued the following statement: “At a time when we’re seeing a dangerous rise in antisemitism across the […]
Florida, this is how we lose democracy
Today’s suspension of Hillsborough State Attorney, Andrew Warren, a twice-elected prosecutor who committed no crime, nor is accused of one should send chills down the spine of every Floridian. For third time since becoming Governor, Ron DeSantis has removed from office an elected Democratic official in a large urban county he lost in 2018, who […]
DeSantis war on Tallahassee on full display this election cycle
Governor DeSantis’s, unprecedented foray into the reapportionment process for a Florida Governor, wasn’t just about partisanship or race as had been claimed, but about something else – dismembering the political power of the state capital, the state’s most progressive large municipality. And this came as DeSantis’ ally, David Bellamy is running a well-funded special-interest driven […]
Fareed Zakaria on DeSantis latest fundraising email and what Democrats should do about it
CNN’s Fareed Zakaria has a warning for Democrats after getting a fundraising email from Ron DeSantis. This dovetails pretty well with some recent focus groups I have listened to analysis of – DeSantis ability to define Democrats by the most outlandish takes on cultural issues IS UNFORTUNATELY STICKING.
