Yes, I know it’w Wikipedia, but sometimes they actually list facts and the sources, so if you want to know more about DeSantis’ policies from his legislative days and onward, they are listed at the link. There are other sites on the ‘net, but I have a Saturday deadline to deal with.

I didn’t know that he’d signed into law that students going into high school have to take a financial literacy test or that he’d signed a bill mandating that students had to be taught at least 45 minutes about communism and the infamous communist leaders on Victims of Communism Day, aka, the traditional Soviet October Revolution Day which, used to be commemorated on November 7 up until 1990.

That personal finance course appears to be similar to that which our forefathers were engaged in. I see no problems with it.

DeSantis has been very strong with respect to education, taking on the education lobby, the unions, and the woke administrators. The sad state of education should be a priority for any governor or president but most do little or nothing to cure the rot throughout the US education system. DeSantis has the good fortune to have a GOP legislature supporting most of his agenda.

The Trump term in office highlighted the major problem with Washington any candidate with a conservative platform elected in 2024 will face. Trump quickly learned his biggest obstacles were the moderate Republicans in Congress, particularly the leadership (McConnell and Ryan), the entrenched federal bureaucracy that acts independently of any real oversight, and the media which acts as the propaganda organ for the collectivist supreme state.

Whether it be Trump, a DeSantis who is not controlled by big donor money or the RINO’s, or Rand Paul the key question is how will the new POTUS govern with the entrenched opposition of the institutions described above in alliance with the Democrat Party? A Democrat majority in Congress will thwart a MAGA president at every turn as demonstrated during the last two years of Donald Trump. A Republican controlled Congress will intentionally slow down and thwart much of a conservative agenda as evidenced during the first two years of the Trump administration. Remember the GOP majority in Congress during Trump’s first two years would not even appropriate money for the southern border wall 70% of the American people supported. Republican Congresses have demonstrated zero interest in making meaningful cuts to the federal bureaucracy much less eliminating entire departments and programs. As for oversight, how many Constitution hating federal judges have been impeached and removed by a Republican Congress in this century? Zero. How will this change under a second Trump or DeSantis administration?
