I have some genuine questions and I have no malice against Ron DeSantis or his supporters but a few things trouble me about him! He has the tacit support of the Bushes. I know they want anyone but Trump but as one Freeper put it: Will he blow kisses back? What does having their support mean? Does it mean Karl Rove becomes an advisor? Campaign cash, staff and what not? Think about it. It's not just some throw away endorsement by them it comes with serious muscle, donors, etc. He's also visiting Texas instead of CPAC. Will he be hanging...

Since COVID-19 vaccines first became available, Publix has played a major role in tackling the public health emergency in Florida by offering vaccines to adults and, later, children as young as 5. But the Lakeland grocery company says it will not offer the vaccine approved for children ages 4 and under “at this time.” Spokesperson Hannah Herring said Tuesday that Publix will not release a statement explaining its decision.

The company still offers other child vaccinations, including the flu shot for babies...

If Governor Ron DeSantis was expecting an apology, hopefully he wasn’t holding his breath. This week marks the one-year anniversary of the botched “60 Minutes” hit piece that served as a seminal moment in the current contentious relationship between a large swath of America’s left-wing media and conservative politicians. In the “60 Minutes” segment from April 2021, they presented a “bombshell” report accusing Governor DeSantis of showing favoritism toward Publix for COVID distribution in exchange for their political support. The problem with the segment was that it used deceptive edited video footage to help orchestrate CBS’s false narrative attacking the...

"I know I'll be ordering mine," the Governor tweeted. Interested in dressing like Ron DeSantis?

The story suggested linkage between a sizable Publix donation to DeSantis’ political committee and the store being used to roll out vaccines, a relationship...

Ron DeSantis and an apparent "pay to play" scheme involving supermarket chain Publix and the state's distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.

The program further stated that in doing this, minorities were adversely affected since Publix stores are not as prevalent in their neighborhoods.The segment included a video of a confrontation between DeSantis and the "60 Minutes" correspondent in...

Just how deep does the hole “60 Minutes” is digging for itself go? Let’s just say they’ve already got both feet in the grave: Members of both parties have accused the venerable newsmagazine show of concocting a “hit piece” accusing the potential 2024 Republican presidential candidate of engaging in a “pay-for-play” scheme involving the grocery store chain Publix. CBS News issued a statement on Tuesday defending its Sunday night report. “When Florida state data revealed people of color were vaccinated at a much lower rate than their wealthier neighbors, ‘60 Minutes’ reported the facts surrounding the vaccine’s rollout, which is...
