Governor DeSantis’s star keeps rising
American Thinker ^ | 8 Jun, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

DeSantis has an unmistakable political glow about him. Whether being treated like a star performer at a massive country music jam in Florida or being one of the top people on Donald Trump’s radar should Trump win again, people like what they see.

On Sunday, Florida held the largest music festival in America since February 2020. The Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam, in Panama City Beach, saw more than 20,000 people gather together for the three-day country music festival. Big stars were appearing: Lynyrd Skynyrd, Luke Bryan, Brooks & Dunn, Chris Stapleton…and Ron DeSantis. Yup, DeSantis dropped by for a quick visit and got the same star treatment as the named performers:

He looks like someone who is not afraid to punch back against the loony left.

“We chose freedom over Fauci-ism” is a great line and an even greater idea.

The rise of Ron DeSantis is all the more put into sharp focus because of the tide of mediocrity that lies elsewhere. At all sides, there are those who are surrendering to the blandishments and promises of the Left, who never intend to honor the commitments they are so blithely making and which apparently look so appealing. Free energy from the sun and wind, and no working? Such a deal, and we only have to get the nay-sayers out of the way.

Rainbows and unicorn droppings go only so far, which is just about nowhere at all.

Dystopia beckons. And it will be here before you know it.

And to think FL came within a whisker of Gov. Andrew Gillum...

Florida, hope that keeps you up at night.

I can tell DeSantis is doing well because virtually the ONLY time I see the local Miami media do a story on him is to bash him.

His popular positions on Big Tech, China, COVID, etc. are ignored. His presence at the music festival/concert was completely ignored by a Miami media that loves to focus on “the arts”. I guaran-damn-tee you if Willie Brown’s mistress spoke at a music festival in Florida, the Miami media would talk about it constantly.

Note to any FL backsliders...

Obviously not you two, though :-)

I live in NYS, and Cuomo’s rubber stamp legislature is getting ready to to bug out of town with Fredo’s bro’s remaining diktats intact...

With school districts still muzzling their students...

With sky high unemployment and small biz closures...

Even higher income and property taxes, inspite of a federal bailout...

Florida, this could be you.

Vote accordingly.

PS: NYS is lying about its vaccination stats, too...

Betcha.

I’ve met a handful of NYS transplants down here. They SEEM to lean to the right. I’m genuinely concerned Florida is going to turn into South New York politically.

I have a solution for that.

Pics from the economic and cultural wasteland that is NYS.

On billboards. Streaming on line. An NYS channel.

A reminder and preview of coming attractions.

Remind them of what they left behind, of what could come back to haunt them.

A sign should read; “ Don’t NY my Florida!”

And all welcome signage to NYS ought to have this on it:

Abandon hope all ye who enter here.

IMHO, DeSantis is the best candidate that the Rs have to put at the top of the ticket in 2024.

In IA there are tv adds for CA vacationing and adds to move your company to MI. What a bunch of goobers to think anyone would have anything to do with either state with their stupid Dem governors in place.
