Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis cut through the red tape to rescue Floridians stranded in Israel. What we didn’t know is that he’s also planning to pick up non-Floridian Americans, as well as those Joe Biden dumped in Greece.
“We knew there’d be people that wanted to get back, many hundreds, maybe even more than 1,000. And they were not getting any luck with the State Department or with the embassy. So I did an executive order last week, activating Florida emergency response to be able to bring planes in there and take people back home.”
“I had mothers that were stranded with three or four kids. I had one family with ten kids that they were trying to get back to Florida.”
He explained that the rescue flights were not limited to Floridians: “If there are people that are struggling to get to Georgia or New York or whatever, we’re all Americans, and we want to help people, but it is limited to Americans.”

So we have more flights coming. The next one will be [Tuesday] morning. We are taking people from Israel, but we’re also going to stop in Athens, Greece, to pick up people that the federal government may have stranded...”
“You can come across the southern border, and the federal government will fly you all across the country, free of charge. They’ll put you up in nice hotels at taxpayer expense. They’re not charging the illegal aliens.”

“We, of course, do have an interest in recovering the hostages that are American citizens… But ultimately, it’s Israel’s war. We should support them, but it’s not something we should get enmeshed in with our own ground troops.”

see post 13.... .. he partnered with a group..
The reason: because the FR contingent who adore DJT and detest Governor DeSantis goes overboard dismissing DeSantis' strong leadership and good acts. DeSantis is mocked, insulted, and derided with gusto in this forum.
In return, reasonable people ask the logical question. What did your idol DJT do?
Project Dynamo is a group of vets that do whatever it is they do.
They’ve been in Israel since this thing kicked off. Saw the interview of the CEO on one of the afternoon news shows. Maybe CNN, as it was in in the gym
What is DeSantis role? Only question.
The guys in that company are actual veterans not military lawyers that stand in front of a HUMVEE with a training rifle.
This is nothing but a publicity stunt to try and boost DeSantis.
Trump holds no office he cannot do anything. Hate Trump if you want but try to be fair about it.
I’d like to see if Griffin or one of his other big money donors are writing the checks in a last ditch effort.
A christian non profit firm .
Read the article.
You said it all .
thanks
“What did Donald Trump do for the hundreds of Americans stuck in Israel?”
Well, Trump isn’t the president nor a governor. What did you think he should have done?
What?!? You mean a former JAG who served in Iraq knew how to "cut through red tape" to get Americans home from a war zone?
Somebody alert the White House!
-PJ
from the Article - bid D said “So we had the first plane of 271 on Sunday night,” he added,
So big D is taking credit for the flights that Project Dynamo is doing. What an ass. that “We” should be “They”. Isn’t this call stolen valor? Props to Project Dynamo though.
Trump complimented these savages .
Trump says stupid thing all the time .
I am tired of the Sea of Excuses from the Trump Ministry of truth here that
always rewriting what he actual does and say .
Trump has not won since 2016 .
His pick Ronna Romney has robbed and destroyed the RNC and wiped off out the
get out the vote operation.
He has divided the Gop and we will be crushed .
He is just as toxic as Hillary was in 2016.
We need fresh new leaders to put against tired old senile mean Joe
🔝🔝
Governor DeSantis signed an executive order authorizing rescue operations in
Israel to bring Floridians home and transport supplies to our allies.Project Dynamo CEO Bryan Stern said at the airport, “I can’t thank the
governor enough. His team has been great—different parts of the Florida state
machine.”“This is our fourth war zone deployment in 24 months,” he said. “Five if you
count Maui, six if you count Hurricane Ian, 602 missions, and this is the first
time an American politician, a lawmaker, has ever met us… It just means so
much for us. Usually we just show up and there’s nothing. There’s no welcome
home, there’s nothing.”
How did Trump compliment the savages?
LOL! You are good!
“You think so? What did Donald Trump do for the hundreds of Americans stuck in Israel?”
This, we know you are a Trump hater, but this is stupid.
Trump holds no office he cannot do anything. Hate Trump if you want but try to be fair about it. |
Trump (reportedly) is a billionaire. He could have done what DeSantis did. And more.
DeSantis did not rescue these peple as governor. He used private resources. Same as what Trump could have done.
Well, Trump isn’t the president nor a governor. What did you think he should have done?

The same thing DeSantis did. And more.
Need I remind you that RDS used private resources to rescue these people?
He won in 2020. That’s why they continue to persecute him. Bite didn’t get 80 million votes.
