So, DeSantis is using taxpayer money for a publicity stunt? Is that what I’m getting?
Thank you!
He has not limited his help to just Jewish Americans who got stuck in Israel.
Of course, people like you refuse to acknowledge what Trump has done for all Americans.
Nice try, and it's no wonder that responsibility is 2nd for you
Question is, would DeSantis have done this if he were not running for President?
Good job Ron, but I'm still not supporting you, you Deep State Trojan horse.
This is what leadership looks like. Good on him.
Yes.
Corey Mills is getting people out of Israel, into another nearby country, where they can get flights out from there, back to the U.S.
What gets a bigger bang for the buck?
Getting people out of Israel, to a nearby country where they can get flights out...
Or paying for planes to fly from israel to Florida where desantis meets them for a photo op, for $4 million for 300 people?
And gets the desantis supporters riled up and claiming desantis is some kind of hero for doing something (signing a piece of paper) to get people back to Florida...
and creates fuel for the fire for them to attack Trump with...
What is this alternative movement called besides Never Trumpism?
*************************************************
It’s called “We have to have a bold conservative candidate that can win the general election to stop the worst lawlessness and disorder in American history.”
One more time.
Florida is.
Where would Trump get access to a large jet plane? Oh wait....
So do you think Trump’s accusation that Rafael Cruz was involved in the asssination of JFK makes him any better than a liar? Or does it make him a liar and slanderer? Sounds like you can’t vote for Trump eithere based on your criteria.
Yeah, it kind of reminds you of the CARES Act except without the inflation.
What’s the $4,000,000 for? The plane ride?
$4,000,000 for one plane. WOW!!!!
State has increasing taxes, unaffordable insurance, folks getting priced out of their homes, Ft Meyers area still trying to recover from a massive hurricane and now, this.
WOW!!!
It has been done.
Do you know the story of Ross Perot and his successful rescue of hostages from Iran in 1979?
It happened in the Jimmy Carter era and was a totally civilian operation. Ross Perot And The Iranian Hostage Rescue
That is the time Iranian militants took 66 Americans hostage and held most of them for 444 days, finally releasing them when Ronald Regan was elected President.
Ross Perot was a graduate of the US Naval Academy and a successful computer salesman.
He was a brilliant, action oriented man who went on to found his own company, Electronic Data Systems, known as EDS.
His company was very successful and made him a multi-multi-millionaire.
(One million 1978 dollars is equal to almost $5 million 2023 dollars today)
When the Iranian crisis came about in 1978-1979 EDS had about 130 employees in Iran carrying out work Iran had contracted the company to do.
Ross brought most them out of Iran when it became obvious serious trouble was brewing but left a few key people there to complete the work.
Iranian militants ousted the Shah, overthrew the government and declared Iran ro be an Islamic Republic.
They began taking Americans hostage including two of Perot's employees.
He tried to get them released through diplomatic channels and offered to pail bail or ransom but was unsuccessful.
So he pulled together a rescue team who infiltrated into Iran and were able to successfully get his employees out of Iran and returned to the USA.
It is an inspiring true life story of Americans at their best in the face of terror.
There is a book entitled "On The Wings Of Eagles" about the rescue and there was also a TV mini Series about it.
I can’t believe these azzholes. I, as a Florida taxpayer, have no problem with my Governor authorizing 4 million of SURPLUS, that’s right, surplus that has been every year since he was elected as this great state’s governor, to bring home American citizens that have been ignored by our federal overseers from a perilous situation abroad. To use this as an opportunity to launch attacks on a candidate who is so far behind smacks of just plain unadulterated pettiness. Better to spend this in the black money on American’s safety than waste it on some bullshit like COVID relief money and plunge a nation further into the red. Get a grip, cultists.
Republican congressmen signed a letter to Obama’s State Department about Jon Hammar, if that’s the Marine you’re referring to. I can’t find who signed it, but I know some of the Florida reps. did. I would be surprised if a former Navy man wouldn’t sign a letter to help a former Marine, but that’s only my opinion. Since Hammar lived in Texas, I assume that his representative and Duncan Hunter, who led the lawmakers in trying to get Hammar released, would be the ones to contact him and his family.
Are you really going to hold DeSantis responsible for every thing you think he didn’t do? That seems over-the-top, but maybe that’s how you roll.
What power does Trump have? He has an airplane, money, international connections and adult children, some of whom are Jewish, who also have money and international connections. I would imagine they’re doing something to help. I can’t prove it either way, but I like to think the best of people.
Get back to us when you learn reading comprehension. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you are capable. But I have my doubts. Poor baby, such a waste of a life being illiterate.
Not the feral government led by Obama's sock puppet "Brain-Dead Brandon".
They have plenty of taxpayer money for 7 million illegals and to finance muzzi terrorists in Gaza but won't part with any to rescue American citizens.
Maybe if Brandon knew the stranded Americans were muslims he might spring for their rescue.
The DeSantis rescue cost a lot of money but what is an innocent life worth at a time like this?
If one of my family members was caught up in a muzzi Jihad I would be thrilled and extremely thankful to see them rushed to safety no matter what the cost.

“But he is terrible as a Presidential candidate.”
And that’s a big problem.
Good people who get things done aren’t considered good candidates ?
