I think this shows the future.
As the DC Regime becomes more and more dysfunctional, the State and local level that can still do something will need to step up.
why didnt trump do this
Kudos.
First? How many “Florida residents” are over there?
Go Florida! Earlier in the week, one of our Congressmen went and brought out a couple of plane loads. This state knows how to do it…our Federal government has failed us and it’s up to our states.
I read that the Feds, when they did finally decide to provide flights (after telling Americans to Uber to a border and take a taxi from there to the nearest airport and see what they could find!) were asking for a promissory note for the price of the flight. Meanwhile, they’re flying illegal immigrants all around the country for free.
Was St. Ronaldus piloting the plane too? 🤣
He’s been a good governor.
Shouldn’t have run for President this cycle.
Biden has to counter with. Maybe confidently take the pilot’s seat on a jumbo jet and go over get some hostages out of that war zone himself. He didn’t have fish for dinner. He had tapioca and melba toast with strawberry jam.

There was a group in Israel that was working on getting people out.
desantis basically signed an order to spend money to arrange to get people out, so the state of Florida got in touch with this group and spent money.
Florida-based nonprofit evacuates Americans from Israel, asks ‘where is’ State Dept
Published October 11, 2023 8:01am EDT
Americans in the hundreds have turned to Project DYNAMO to find a way out of Israel as airlines pause services and avenues out of the country continue to disappear.
“My team of case managers, who are based in America, they’ve been awake for three days just fielding hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of requests from Americans who are stuck,”
Stern mentioned on several occasions that he received requests from Americans in Gaza but stressed the limits of his resources. He said that the group has access to around a dozen planes, with the smallest able to hold 150 passengers, and the group heavily relies on donations to operate.
So having said all of that, funding drives everything,” he added. “As a veteran-led, donor-funded nonprofit … these boats don’t pay for themselves. Flights don’t pay for themselves,” acknowledging he has seen small increase in donations but “not enough.”
“A plane out of here is going to cost $300,000 to $400,000, and we’re not making anything close to that,” he stressed. “So we’re going have to change our calculus a little bit.”
This group was already in israel, trying to get people out. Money just helped.
Lady I know and who served at Benghazi just posted that her network just got the last American wife out of Afghanistan a week or so ago.
Kudos to Governor DeSantis!
DeSantis might have signed off on this……
…..but it was Florida Congressman Cory Mills who initiated and implemented rescuing 96 Americans, even going himself!
Good on DeSantis!
Hurray! Thank you Ron DeSantis and Project Dynamo.
I am surprised Chomo Joe didn’t order the plane shot down.
I listened to Mayorkas NOT answering senators during oversight hearings in the past few days (I wasn't sure of the exact day of the video I was watching) and know as never before---well, I have known it for years---but never as I know now----that we have no borders nor security at all under the Biden administration.
We are just about as vulnerable as Israel with, unquestionably, enemies plotting more viciously than ever to embed themselves within our borders.
God bless any and every state governor who will look upon his or her state as a nation and serve, in effect, as its president, while we do not have a federal government that will recognize the states, and will not protect national borders. 10the AMENDMENT !!! -----And also repeal the 17th (Okay, different subject, but while we're at trying to keep a Republic . . . .)
Watching local Miami media the last two or three days, you would barely know RDS engaged.
His work to help Floridians stuck in Israel has been noted but almost always wrapped in a barrage of hurried reports about some smaller efforts.
They bury his good work, just like last year after the hurricane. The guy got bridges rebuilt and relief in record time after the disaster...but the media in Florida hates DeSantis, so they barely reported the fact that he was the one who spearheaded the efficiency.
Florida news.

Asking to much for him to know that “devoid” is not a noun?
