Ron DeSantis vs. Juan Williams, culture wars battle edition

Juan Williams is on a roll lately. This time, he thinks that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is dangerous. Williams thinks Gov. DeSantis is dangerous because, in Williams' words, Gov. DeSantis loves "waging hard-right culture wars, to the point of taking on Disney on gay rights." Of course, Williams doesn't know what he's talking about.

Gov. DeSantis didn't pick a fight with Disney over gay rights. Gov. DeSantis simply signed a bill that stopped schools from teaching kindergarten through third grade students about topics like gender identity and gender fluidity. Gov. DeSantis simply wants parents to teach that type of thing to their children.

In fact, Gov. DeSantis thinks that parents should have the controlling say in what their children are taught. To Democrats, that thought is the stuff of nightmares. Democrats think that public teacher unions should have free reign in indoctrinating children.

Williams is frightened of Gov. DeSantis because Republicans often call DeSantis "Trump without the baggage." To Democrats, there's nothing more frightening than the thought of a politician who puts America's interests first, ahead Russia's, Iran's or China's interests first. To Democrats, it's frightening to think of a Republican who is eloquent and willing to question Democrat orthodoxy.

What Williams won't talk about is Gov. DeSantis ability to get Florida running again after Hurricane Ian. Check out this update from Gov. DeSantis:

According to NBC's report, "Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that 95% of customers statewide have power after Hurricane Ian. DeSantis also said the Florida Department of Transportation deployed more than 130 trucks to begin working on the temporary bridge fix for Pine Island."

The truth is that Gov. DeSantis has figured out how to get the most out of his state. Repairs to natural disasters are finished quickly. Parents finally have a powerful ally in raising their children the right way.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
