On Friday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized President Joe Biden’s remarks about the possibility of reinstating COVID-19 lockdowns in the United States if people are not “vigilant.”
“To even contemplate doing any type of lockdown, honestly it’s insane,” said the Republican governor.
DeSantis vowed to protect his state from possible Washington mandates.
“That’s not gonna happen in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said, referring to lockdowns. “We’re gonna continue doing what works, but under no circumstances would we entertain anything of the sort.” Epoch Times Photo Supporters of former President Donald Trump gather along Southern Blvd near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Feb. 15, 2021.

“Even if we devote every resource we have, beating this virus and getting back to normal depends on national unity,” Biden said on Thursday, in his longest speech as president so far.
“And national unity isn’t just how politics and politicians vote in Washington, what the loudest voices say on cable or online. Unity is what we do as fellow Americans. Because if we don’t stay vigilant and the conditions change, then we may have to reinstate restrictions to get back on track. And, please, we don’t want to do that again,” he said.

“And I think it’s an absurd report that they would be doing that. I think it would be unconstitutional, it would be unwise and it would be unjust,” DeSantis said at a press conference on Thursday.
Texas on Wednesday lifted its statewide mask mandate enacted in mid-2020 while also loosening several other restrictions on businesses meant to control the spread of the CCP virus.
Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, announced last week in an executive order (pdf) the State of Texas is working toward removing restrictions on businesses and having them operate again at full capacity.
“We must now do more to restore livelihoods and normalcy for Texans by opening Texas 100 percent,” the governor said last week, while also warning Texans that “COVID-19 has not disappeared,” but the mandates implemented to control the pandemic “are no longer needed.”
Or Trump/DeSantis 2024.
DeSantis is definitely a threat. Demonrats are already smearing him.
I’m really beginning to like this governor of ours.
TX Gov Abbott sleeps in DeSantis PJs.
Seriously. Abbott needs to pay close attention to this guy.
This alarming information just came out. Its way past time to start getting some answers to what is going on.

It’s an hour plus video...bottomline?
I’m happy to see in yours and others posts that the name of Mike Pence is missing. Pence should be thrown in the trash bin of history for his “performance” as VPUSA.
Let us guard against appointing or supporting or, even considering, a COMPROMISED person for any office.
Do the due diligence that should be done and we will avoid
John Roberts, William P. Barr, Michael Pence, Gen. Mattis,
all of the failures that opted out of doing the job that was expected/hoped they would accomplish.
Who has the pictures??
self ping
Has a nice ring, don't you think?
Amen to that! 👍🏻
Yes, it does.
Luv my Guv! Since he took office has been a Trump “Mini me”
“If not Trump at the top, then DeSantis 2024.
Or Trump/DeSantis 2024.”
See my tag.
Bless your Governor. Just today decided to scrap our vacation to DC in May. We’re coming to Orlando!
It’s worlds better than DC (gawd I can’t stand that place) BUT Miami-West Palm-Tampa-Jax-Orlando are democrat hellholes.
If you want to enjoy tropical America get to one of the isolated beach towns.
Good luck
Bottom line:
The vaccine will destroy the natural immune system and that the mutations will become more and more virulent.
He is calling for an immediate halt to the mass vaccinations.
Thank you.
