First DeSantis-ordered flight rescues nearly 300 Americans from Israel
Florida's Voice ^ | October 16, 2023 | Eric Daugherty

Posted on 10/16/2023 7:23:55 PM PDT by Golden Eagle

The first flight under Gov. Ron DeSantis’ executive order to rescue Americans from Israel arrived Sunday night, bringing with it around 300 Americans.

The flight arrived in Tampa around 8 p.m. ET.

“There was a devoid of leadership, so we stepped up and led,” DeSantis said in a video at the airport.

DeSantis thanked Project Dynamo for helping rescue the citizens from the war-ridden region after Hamas launched brutal terror attacks on Israel. Project Dynamo says it conducts operations “where the U.S. government lacks access or a presence” to rescue “vulnerable populations.” It is a Veteran-led nonprofit.

DeSantis signed the emergency executive order last Thursday.

“We will not leave our residents behind,” DeSantis said Thursday. “To the many Floridians who are stuck in Israel, trying to get home — help is on the way.”

Did he not say Hezbollah was ‘very smart.’? Did he not criticize Netanyahu?

No, he did not criticize Netenyahu and so what if he said Hezbollah is smart? In context they are certainly smart enough to hear the Biden admin say where Israel is weak and strike that weakness the next day.

You commies love to twist words around don't you?

Underestimating your enemies and pretending they are stupid and hopeless is Step One which ends up where you get your ass handed to you.

Kind of like Israel last weekend...

First? How many “Florida residents” are over there?
Many, I imagine. The largest concentration of Jews outside of Israel is New York. Florida is where New York Jews go to retire. They have leisure time, and often money.

“Trump is a private citizen. Therefore he can’t “order” anything.”

He may not have the power of the office, but I am reminded of Ross Perot’s amazing rescue (On Wings of Eagles, movie and best seller) of his EDS workers from Iran in the late 70’s.

So posting his actual words isn’t really what he “meant”.

Aren’t yall tired of trumpsplaining? Let the man speak for himself! You either played interpreter because you know he screwed up and you need to fix it for him or because you think he’s too dumb to articulate what he means.

He’s not

Doesn’t matter how many Florida residents are there. Florida has a very large Jewish population, undoubtedly many with friends and relatives in Israel. Desantis is being totally humane and also satisfying his voters.

I am surprised Chomo Joe didn’t order the plane shot down.

So you are saying a man with his resources, which no doubt include private special operators can’t do this.. that’s ludicrous. Everyone knows it. He is just a talker, not a doer. Unless of course he is presiding as anti family, anti small government and anti 2A.
At the end of the day he offered the dems DACA, signed blank checks to big pharma, locked the entire country down, bumpstock ban. In his final acts he gave a commendation to fauci and signed the CARES act to ensure the dems had mail in ballots and other goodies for perpetual tyranny.
He wants to rescue SS by paying people, or ya payers or citizen to have babies.
Why not simply return it to its original intent.
Because every time he picked up the pen domestically, he was handing out cash to corporations or “dealing” with the dems.
It was not until trump that caravans and trains of illegals felt they could stand in front of a camera and declare they are coming. Trumps offer of DACA was a signal to the world we are ready to be replaced.
His support of groomer Disney and tranny madness has led to children being sterilized without their parents know.
He took conservatism so far left, there is no difference between us and the Marxists.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I also imagined a lot of these "Floridians" speaking with that terrible yankee accent.

That’s it. Not only will the DC Regime not act, it will actively prevent the States from acting.

We saw that on the Texas border, where the DC Regime does not enforce the border according to law, and they also dismantled Texas attempts to limit illegal entry into the State.

The Left controls every major institution in the country, so this will continue until this incompetent Regime collapses.

Well, I’ll be damned. I partially agree with you.

Not that I think Israel thought Hamas was stupid, but, their intel people certainly got complacent (partially die to excellent misdirection by Hamas) and underestimated Hamas. Their intel chief has admitted they failed and has taken responsibility.

As for Trump, he was correct, but, sometimes in trying to talk to “the average Joe” I think he picks the wrong word or words. If I was discussing Hamas or Hezbollah in this context, instead of “smart” I’d say “cunning”.
