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.

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...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
