Yesterday it was widely reported the JoeBama administration was considering federal intervention to restrict travel into and out-of Florida. Essentially a travel ban. Today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis discussed the position of his state during a segment of a COVID update press conference from Port Charlotte, Florida. WATCH:
“Restricting the right of Americans to travel freely throughout our country while allowing illegal aliens to pour across the southern border unmolested would be a ridiculous but very damaging farce.”

My happy ass will be there several times this year. Count on it! 😉
I stand with DeSantis!
It’s not enough these demo-commies brazenly stole an election with impunity, but this is just another day of Fascist Political Retaliation from those whose vicious persecution is only superseded by their hatred of God, country and their fellow man.
Truth….
—my insides are doing a slow steady grrrrrrrrr…..
I’ve noticed Sundance hasn’t mentioned “cold anger” much recently. Because I think he knows most of us are far beyond that stage now… I’m sure HE is beyond that stage. These scumbags…. they want to keep pushing us? Seriously?!
I think you’re right. I’m at RED, ROILING, BOILING, HOT – which is why I’m unable to listen to the DC Criminal Cartel’s Unconstitutional Impeachment of President Trump.
My blood pressure would shoot up to an unimaginable high instantaneously – dangerous for me in more ways than one. And my blood pressure is very good.
I’m trying to figure out effective courses of action in which I am a “danger” to these arrogant, elitist, DRUNK ON POWER Marxists who have taken over the Country.
States and Individuals MUST FIGHT BACK – the Feral Government is way, way beyond it’s Constitutional Britches and has been for some time.
It is PAST TIME for the SANE STATES to reclaim the powers they allowed the Feral Government to usurp from them.
We MUST RESPOND. We CANNOT allow these people to continue along the TOTALITARIAN COURSE they have chosen – it will NOT END WELL.
I cant even watch the evening news.
I haven’t watched the evening news in 4 years. I go to my sites online. I wouldn’t and WON’T give them the satisfaction of being a “viewer” of their fake news.
Bloviating liars.
HOW can we push back against these radicals?
I am disgusted that I am now a very small little old lady. I am a retired teacher who is NOT afraid to speak in front of a large group. I keep fantasizing that I am granted a chance to speak in front of Congress . . . HA.
Indeed and totally agree. It is just so hard for me to get my hands around the way these people think. Sure I know its power, but for what?
Or lets cancel a few Twitter accounts. It makes them looks so very small.
It took me awhile to wrap head around these little prog homeowner n*zis also, but it may help to keep in mind that the political Left really is a totalitarian religion. As such, it’s members are obsessed with forcing/coercing one hundred percent compliance with their rituals, speech codes, and latest piping hot apocalypse.
Think about the mindset of the Grande Inquisitor, Torquemada, and will get a glimpse into their minds.
You are right and I think it is because these types of people are insecure. In order to “feel good” about themselves they must control everything and everyone around them.
They can then feel like they are “doing something”, “making a difference”, so as to feel some self-importance and mask the insecurity.
Exactly.
Sociology 101: It is the insecure who have the need to put down others in order to feel better about themselves.
One of life’s enduring truths.
For What??? You have to ask? History is Full of Answers. French Revolution Jacobins, Nazis, Bolsheviks, Chicoms, PolPot, Castro, Chavez-Maduro, Obama-Biden coming to fruition.
Power is it’s own Corruption, Life or Death Power is a Thrill for the Insane more than any drug Addiction
Chinese Cultural Revolution, which is where we are headed w/all this PC garbage.
Peer group approval. The desire to belong. Like inner city gangs.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban will no longer allow the National Anthem to be played before games.
The Xiden gulag house issued a statement showing support for Cuban. Showing their hate to the USA and her citizens.
His Commissioner, Adam Silver, said all teams will play the anthem. Mark got bitch-slapped.
Good. I had not heard this. Thank You.
That’s the perfect slap for Cuban.
One more slap is needed– stop using PayPal!
🙂 I stopped using PayPal a few weeks ago…but the biggest relief has been freezing and staying away from Facebook
Yes – heard this morning that had changed.
Cuban is such a phony – goes whichever way the wind is blowing.
that’s right…
cuban is a known provocateur….he ascribes any publicity is capitol..even if you have to invent it.
And Texas threatened to pass a law making the playing of the anthem mandatory.
Cuban skipped it from the first dozen or so home games this year until someone finalty noticed and asked about it. That’s when the Commissioner put out the League reminder.
Virtue signal.
Cuba has a football team??
They want to rub your nose in it.
Florida. Proud to be born and raised in Miami Wade County. I miss it everyday from commie-fornia. Desantis is a boss ???
If I may ask, where do live in CA?
The valley, Woodland Hills. You live in CA?
Secede.
To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead

Our Founders were Beyond Brilliant!
Awesome quote!
I would like to make Ron Desantis an honorary Texan. He sure does know how to KICK ASS!
Hell yes! Come and Take it!
Sure, make DeSantis an “honorary” Texan. Just be known that we are making sure that DeSantis stays in Florida. He is not allowed to leave…ever…even for the White House…well, maybe after his term limits are up.
Would you mind making all of us honorary Texans and then just secede. I’d happily sign up to become Whiskey Sam: Texas Citizen
Come and get it! ….your boots and Stetson…you are an official honorary Texan!
No! SC needs him in case we ever need to invade Georgia!
Just ignore Traitor Joe and his EO’s. An Illegitimate President has no authority.
“We will respond swiftly” to political attacks by Biden ~ Gov. DeSantis.
BTW, Florida, think about how close you were to having Andrew Gillum be your Governor and the calamity that would have unfolded on your state if DeSantis lost the Governor election to Gillum. Wow, that is a scary thought.
Governor DeSantis should also swiftly start a full forensic audit of the 2020 election results in Florida. Every machine, every ballot, no stone left unturned. This can be the basis of further election reforms in Florida (i.e., banning all electronic voting machines and going back to paper ballots), but also set-off an unstoppable chain reaction of election forensic audits in other states. They tried to tip Florida to Biden using the same tactics and people who coordinated the election fraud in the Battleground States. Florida can start to create and enforce the forensic and legal trail to the bad actors and methods used nationwide to steal this election and impose an illegitimate Regime on the People!
We cannot take this insanity on bended knees. There is still hope to turn this around!
OhMy, aren’t they trying to roll out that guy again? I swear last month I saw an article saying something like: How one bad choice led to redemption.
Or some BS like that
Even worse Charlie Christ is going to run for Governor again.
Nick The Deplorable,
charlie crist is one of the slipperiest, greasiest caricatures of a “politician” I can think of. If I had a lapse of reason, and actually shook his hand (after crushing his knuckles) I would count my fingers.
What a blood-bag. I can’t see him standing a chance, especially against Gov. DeSantis. If he (DeSantis) keeps supporting school choice, I don’t think he can lose.
Best,
skipper
Is old Charlie going to trot out his “wife”???? for photo ops????
Annie,
IDK, is he still dragging a “beard” around? His ‘denial” of his proclivities only serves to reinforce his aura of dishonesty. Somebody really oughta tell him…
I have a college friend who is currently the mayor of a Florida city and has dealt with DeSantis often. He says Mrs. DeSantis is even sharper than her husband!
Really? That guy is like Herpes in politics. He never goes away! He switched parties just so he can hold onto power! He is the problem with our political system today!
He’s not Christ! The name is Charlie Crist.
A distinction that makes a big difference!
He and his puppet master, John Morgan, will lose again. Gillum came so close in 2018 because of fraud. DeSantis FIFY.
Do you think election fraud gave a lot of votes to the con man?
Especially in Miami Dade County. I guarantee the Leftist commies in the aforementioned brought in busloads of fake ballots during the Governors race last time, but just came up one load short. They won’t make that mistake again, if given the chance. Gov. DeSantis better get on top of this.
Dear OhMy,
Your idea is brilliant!!!
“Governor DeSantis should also swiftly start a full forensic audit of the 2020 election results in Florida. Every machine, every ballot, no stone left unturned. This can be the basis of further election reforms in Florida”… “ but also set-off an unstoppable chain reaction of election forensic audits in other states.” … “Florida can start to create and enforce the forensic and legal trail to the bad actors and methods used nationwide to steal
this election…”
Is there anyway you can get your idea to Gov DeSantis?
To have a honest forensic audit conducted in an expedited and exemplary way in Florida could help shine a light on the fraud in so many ways.
DeSantis 2024.
(And just to think, the bozo druggie sex fiend Gillum almost won the Governor race against DeSantis.)
Coming from a Floridian, that’s the stuff nightmares are made of.
His full 2 terms in FL. won’t be over til the 2028 Prez Election.
We need to keep him here for MANY reasons, but one of the biggest, IMO, is so the people here can get used to Good Governance and never go back to Losers.
When he’s done in FL., the whole US can have him.
Ditto
You hit the nail on the head – and it’s the same logic as to why we needed President Trump for an additional four years – now, not four years from now.
Instead we have a bunch of sick, entitled, drunk on power, totalitarian, octogenarians running this country.
Why the heck are all the people around him wearing masks???
Masks are required on a county by county basis. All the State declared was there can not be a financial penalty for noncompliance. As politicians, they still have optics to preserve.
The optics are terrible.
It wasn’t the politicians wearing masks in the video. Desantis wasn’t. It was everyone in the background. If you’re outside in Florida and there’s no fine or penalty involved, why the hell would someone wear a mask???!!! It makes it look like Florida is not free and open like what so many others have portrayed.
tyshab,
As I recall, Mr. DeSantis has made a point to NOT demand that anyone “comply” with edicts. Kind of like “I won’t ask you to take your mask off, so I’ll thank you for allowing me my to make my OWN decision”.
Exactly. It’s their choice.
Right, we shouldn’t shame mask wearers any more than they should try to shame us.
If you want to wear a mask… Wear one.. If not, don’t… That is how DeSantis thinks.
And I LIKE the way DeSantis thinks.
Remember the MONEY!
Federal money for schools, highways, welfare, airports, prisons, etc. etc. etc. etc.
Anyone who thinks the Communist Biden Regime will NOT cut off all funds to force Florida to submit needs to think again about the ruthlessness of all Communists.
Then the Red States just need to forget about getting Federal money entirely and cut their budgets appropriately.
From my observation the net cost of the government mandates to receive the money on the citizens of the states exceeds the actual benefits to the states. The only people the Fed money actually benefits are the government grifters.
The Supreme Court has already said the Feds cannot withhold money to punish a state. Now whether they uphold that decision is yet to be determined
Our people don’t think this way, but If they do cut off $, then it would make an excellent opportunity to trot out senior citizens, children, and minorities, for constant press conferences that show the Biden/Pelosi Junta attacking the aforementioned groups. Fight fire with fire.
If Slow Joe cuts off Florida’s funds, they just stop sending HIM income tax payments. Let’s see who is the biggest loser. I’ll bet Joe/Xi/Bama blink first.
Funny, that is exactly what I said.
I also said he should make sure that if theis goes thru, he will restrict all outside air travel, in or out, from private planes. See how the elites like that.
Oh, there will be exceptions. But DeSantis could close those loopholes until things are resolved.
In other words…XXY….
Still way too many masks in Florida.
When the commies want me to wear a mask, mine says “COVID-1984.”
Because there are way too many effin’ northerners in Florida.
“Hey Joe! Whatcha doin’ with that pen in your hand?”
”I’m signing an order puttin’ America last again.”
Another reason why I fly my US flag upside down. I believe the constitutionally limited republic as laid down by the founders is never coming back.
Nah, it’s coming back, but we may have to refresh the tree of Liberty, and that’s the part folks don’t like. I read somewhere that only 13% of the population actually fought in the revolutionary war. Death statistics for the civil war range from 6% to 22% of the male population, depending upon the location (state). A civil war in this country would be devastating. However, if the population merely (I say in jest) rose up against the government rather than one another, the death toll would be significantly lower. Hence the concertina wire in D.C. Even though, we know that’s just for show to dramatize their fear and trembling at flag waving, patriotic, singing, hugging, Americans marching together. Sometimes I am afraid of what is to come, and other times I think the whole mess could be over in a few days. It will depend upon the testicular fortitude of We the People.
“Hence the concertina wire in D.C.”
Not going to help against some jihadi spouting Arabic and carrying one of those Soviet cold war era suitcase nukes.
They aren’t concerned by that, they’re looking for people with an American flag or MAGA hat.
I really like the way ya think Just an old woman. This Commie/Demorat crap has got to be put down and Soon before they do any more damage. I’m willing to wait till 2/18 and 2-26 which is when Sidney & Lin Wood present the overwhelming evidence to the Supreme 9. Any BS from the S-9 we bring it. There are many many more of us then them and even tho many of you don’t follow the 17th letter WWG1WGA
God Bless & Let’s Make America Great & Proud Again. The whole world is watching and they are praying we can do this. This is a war against Communism period !!!!
Give the left enough time and they will be “hoist by their own petard.”
Here, Here mine is upside down as well.
Your papers, bitte.
Sound familiar?
I think Gov. DeSantis will win this contrast.
I live in the communist land of Minnesota and love seeing distant lands where people are free!
One thing that really struck me watching Governor DeSantis is how he moved his hands. If I didn’t know better I’d think he was a shape-shifter of President Trump, and if nothing else his hand movements are very similar to our Presidents. Our real President.
FL is having the busiest season in the years since we escaped the northeast. I do not know many that would comply with any Federal orders to mask up. Many flags fly upside down and more and more Trump and Amendment Two flags are flying. With the elderly population being so scared by their northern children it’s no wonder they mask up. Get your supplies in order.
I’m sure the Feds will try to impose martial law soon. It will make for an interesting spring season…for sure!.
“I do not know many that would comply with any Federal orders to mask up.”
All due respect Sunshine Independent, I just watched the above video where literally every person in it is wearing a mask with the sole exception of Gov. Desantis. Very disheartening.
Secession!
Mike in a Truck,
How about…. FLEXIT!!!?
I like it Skip……….FLEXIT
This a blatant political attack by the Dems. Sorry not going to use the obligatory UniParty.
I despise rino’s but anyone who says there is no difference between repubs and dems hasn’t been paying attention to what happened when the dems actually got in power.
In just a few weeks, they have impeached an ex president, and sent this country swirling down the toilet. Seems like a big difference to me compared to the previous 4 years even though we had far more rino’s than I care for.
I agree, getting a little weary of the lack of differentiation. It’s as if we want to cut our heads off to remove some skin tags.
Amen.
But they’re only getting away with it because the other half of the uniparty is letting them. Just like they’re only in the White House in the first place because the other half of the uniparty allowed them to steal the election.
Yes, but they don’t get away with it when the repubs are in power. There is a difference and we are seeing it in a huge way right now. Purge the rinos in primaries, but not in generals unless a person likes what they are living through right now.
And we let the dems take over the local levels of DA’s judges, and election officials because we weren’t paying attention as voters. We can’t blame that on the people in higher offices. We, the voters, allowed that to happen.
These aren’t policy disagreements – we are seeing the dems dismantling the US right before our eyes.
Great point.
Why can’t every Republican Governor work to save us from the disastrous and evil Biden administration like Governor DeSantis is.
Unfreakin believable 🙁
You mean like Kemp and Ducey?
I’m a patriot. I am already restricted from flying by virtue of my unwillingness to abandon my 4th amendment rights to the TSA.
.
Submission is surrender. Never surrender. If it means abandoning air travel, so be it…Until after the war…
I did my million air miles, and got out in 2008 – never again. It is now a totally inhuman, undignified, enraging ordeal of submission, terror, and insult, tedium, and lost life. I will never fly commercial again. If I can’t drive there, then I won’t be there. If someone invites me along on the GV, I’ll jump, but only from private terminals.
There are lots of things that we think we need, that we really don’t, and never will again. Think deep and hard about everything.
You are 100% correct. Ever since 9/11 we have all been treated like terrorists.
I probably will never fly again because of the muzzle mandate. No way will I sit there being asphyxiated by 3 masks.
All public transportation is FUBAR these days.
In NYC you take your life in your hands going on the subway.
Lots of nice places to drive to.
Imagine the federal government targeting a state. Let’s just think about this for a minute. The Xiden Administration is focused on punishing all Trump supporters. They’ve made that crystal clear. So, they pick Florida, with the excuse of covid, as a test case to see how far they can go with this idea of targeting states. They, with the aid of Lawfare, are probing and learning and documenting. It would be so easy to target, say, Idaho or one of the other 2nd Amendment states, using the “domestic terrorist” mantra. If the airlines say people can’t fly without a vaccine certificate of compliance, people will drive, and they know that. They are trying to come up with a valid excuse to restrict the movement of a free people, one that stupid people will voluntarily comply with.
I think, in general, they’re trying to figure out how to control the movement of the population, which is crazy right now with people fleeing blue states for red states. They figure they can retard travel using various excuses, like covid. But, it’s not gonna fly with the population, not even the Lefties. Now, individual states can choose to restrict their borders, but the federal government cannot restrict the borders between states – that’s extremely unconstitutional, not that unconstitutionality stops them since they want to re-write the U.S. Constitution to be more Marxist/Communist friendly.
I’m just encouraging you to think like a Globalist rather than an outraged American. The federal government has limited jurisdiction in a federalist system. But, to the globalists, they must break down the barriers and limits in order to achieve their agenda of a One World Government. They will continue to probe and push and bend the limits of their power with hubris.
Demo-facists actually call that ‘muscle-memory.’ Push as far as you can this time, and then go farther next time.
I hate it, but in a way it’s good because we need this crap to get to end game so it’ll be over.
They definitely want to restrict travel. Many are already not flying because they don’t want to be muzzled.
I heard on the radio last week that they want to get the price of gas so high that the cost will prohibit people from traveling by car. “They” want us all to ride our bikes (hard to do in 4 foot snow drifts in Minnesota), walk (hard to do in -30 air temps in winter), drive scooters (yeah, like they’re gonna start in this cold), or ride mass transit — which is totally missing in the sticks.
They want us all to move to city centers where they can fully control our every minute of every day.
I’ll be chewing on tree bark before that happens.
HORSES! It’s back to horses. 😉
I have a pregnant mare and a stallion. I think I’m set. Remember “The Last Cowboy”? Let’ start riding across the USA’s open spaces and cut the wire as we go….
I don’t know what the world will look like in 2024, but if DeSantis is, in fact, destined for the White House (I believe he is), I can think of no better way to achieve this than having Ron as Trump’s VP, primed, schooled, and ready to go in 2028.
When I watch and listen to Ron DeSantis, I feel like I am actually looking at an earthly paradise, a place of great joy, where there is real freedom and sanity.
Sitting here in the dark, cold, winter in the Covid Compliant Gulag of Killer Cuomo, I question my own sanity for staying in this hell hole that the once great state of NY has become.
NY City, once the greatest city in the world or close to it, is now a desolate wasteland with its beautiful buildings covered with scaffolding and sheds that are inhabited with the dregs of humanity. Things here seem quite hopeless because we are ruled by the Coastal Elite Commies who control our “government.”
At my age, it will be hard to move as we have deep roots in this community that include many friends, relatives, grandchildren, etc. We are willing to fight but at some point, I don’t know……..
An excellent comparative description Seneca. Ron does represent hope.
I bailed on NY state, and became a snow bird. But my family is based in NY also.
If push comes to shove with this travel nonsense, I choose freedom.
I guess they like separating us old folks from our families, and this is another way for fascists to isolate us further.
Watch them mandate their experimental biological agent for air travel next.
Yes. HOPE is what he’s giving a lot of Americans.
And there’s a lot to be said for that.
You’ve got a lot of reasons to stay and fight, Seneca. There’s nothing like decades of family and friends and community.
If the voting system in NYS (and everywhere else) can be cleaned up (and we KNOW it can), then all the more reason to stay and fight. Cuz yeah, NY and NYC used to be great!
Didn’t you say you’re considering running for office?
sunny-thanks very much for your many great comments and yes I am considering running once again for my local town board. I ran in 2019 as a Libertarian after I changed my lifelong Republican registration when I couldn’t get their endorsement.
That experience of running on a third party line told me everything I need to know about how difficult, almost impossible it will be for us to start a brand new party that will be viable in all 50 states. There is so much I can write about, but I think it’s really hard to convey this to all the people here who really, really want a new party.
I hate, despise and loathe many of the Repubicans in the state and federal level, but the majority of the ones in my town and county are all Trump supporters and our President carried the county by a good margin.
Whatever President Trump decides he wants to do, whether it’s get out of politics and never run for office again, or make a comeback and run for office again, or whether he wants to start a new party or gut the GOP as it is, I am hoping and praying that he acts real soon, like as soon as the sham-peachment is over.
There are congressional elections in LA next month- two seats up for grabs. The election cycle for 2022 has already begun.
I’d prefer a pragmatic approach that can win.
VOTING???? Will there EVER be honest elections ever again?
In seeking better opportunity or oppressive government, our American fore-fathers moved great distances by foot, horseback and wagon. Usually with a number of other family members.
I am 68 and, luckily, all my children live in state. But if they ever decide to go, I will be right there with them.
I wonder what angle Disney’s subsidiary ABC will take on this political thuggery. My guess is Disney will get an exemption while they try to screw everyone else.
I really don’t think it get past a court challenge.
Everything these thugs do needs to be challenged in court, preferably in the district courts and circuits with the most Trump appointees. Just because so many judges may not like Trump doesn’t mean they’ll rollover for these children and let them wreck the country.
Disneyworld, maybe? Are you talking about Gov. DeSantis and Florida?
Just an observation here but I thought Florida for the most part was mask free. I cannot figure out the guys standing next to him that are still in their useless face diapers.
Plenty of people wear masks down here. (in the grocery store, etc.)
They just don’t go nuts when they see people w/o them, and I’ve only seen TWO people wearing them outside while walking, etc. in the past year. Never seen people wearing while driving, either.
So people wear ’em. They just haven’t gone batshit crazy w/ ’em.
Lookin at the video; people are going batshit crazy with them.
I live in a Florida retirement community. The people standing near DeSantis while wearing masks looked out-of-place to me. No one around here wears a mask outside. I’m noticing that wearing masks inside a business is starting to fade away. People are beginning to relax a little more.
I’m glad to be back to the best political website in America where the most important issues are covered like this recent Biden admin travel abomination. I stupidly wasted time debating Trump critics on another site.
Governor DeSantis is a top of the line Presidential candidate. He gave a great response and would definitely have an experienced political team behind him at the start of a Presidential race. I suspect Trump is still the main choice with most of his loyal base as he should be but I wonder if Trump considers Ron his preferred successor or whether he’s determined to run again.
Whatever the choice will be, I hope it is the one that will be the most successful and long lasting for the good of the nation. It’s going to take a terrible beating for awhile.
Back in 2020, the states asserted their sovereignty and said that President Trump could not make them open up. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/04/constitutional-experts-trump-lacks-power-to-open-up-the-states/
SAME RULES for slow joe. He can’t override governors EITHER. Federalism guarantees states’ rights.
For those new to the subject, here’s the basis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalism
Dutchman pointed out, States are PUNKS to the Federal Dollar. They yield to its whims. Only States able to survive without its aid might withstand the threat of Biden dollars. But Biden can get IRAN to shoot them out the sky… and he sends your children to fight ‘iran” in syria.
I’m so happy for the little kids in my FL. neighborhood who’ve been going to school in person for months now (since August).
Altho they did “OK” w/ a few months last spring of on-line initially, they are thrilled to be back in person. Can’t imagine what it’s like for kids in states/counties where in-person is STILL not allowed.
Sunnydaze, do the kids have to wear the muzzle while inside the school?
Jay, in my county the kids wear a mask. Lunches are sometimes outside with kids separated enough to conform. Each county has their own protocal for attendance.
Good question.
We never talk about masks. And I’ve never seen them wearing them.
Yes, children have to wear masks and mine hate it, but they prefer being in school, so they tolerate them. In Florida we still have to wear masks inside business establishments – signs are posted on doors – but most people put them on at the door and take them off the minute the set foot outside. You can see some masked people walking outdoors and I have even seen some masked drivers, but these are few and far between. For the most part we have enjoyed relative freedom for months!
This is nothing short of political terrorism coming from the Deep State onto citizens.
It is horrifying.
They should be sued for political malpractice.
They still control both the ballot boxes and the jury boxes.
I like my boxes
I really like my boxes of .45 and .30-.30 boxes…lots and lots of them!
If all Republicans sounded/acted like DeSantis I would not have anything to post.
If all Republicans sounded/acted like Desantis we might still have President Trump in office.
PDJTs chest move was securing a home if this went south. this man was it.

As I said in another post last night, my wife and I are deciding what to do, where to move. Currently in Illinois, so…. but where? Every day, I’m finding more and more reasons to go with Florida. And it’s not just DeSantis. It’s that so many people in that state seem to be of the same mind-set. I guess it’s fortunate that we don’t have the financial means to move out of this country, because we probably would have already been gone by now. I say that’s “fortunate” because I’d MUCH rather stay HERE and fight the fascists. So if we do… probably gonna be Florida.
Do it. We need more conservatives. Just carjack someone and start driving south. Chicago doesn’t care about carjackings, maybe you get a ticket.
jello333,
C’mon down!!! I moved here from taxachusetts 30 years ago. Aside from my childhood friends (2), I haven’t missed it. Well, the first snow (before shoveling), and playing hockey on a pond… But other than that? No contest! Have you heard our “nickname”? The GUNSHINE STATE, pardner! It’s SHALL issue down here, and hopefully expanding to Constitutional Carry soon.
Did I mention NO state tax?
Look up the “Homestead Act”.. Tax breaks on your home if it is your primary residence. And lots more..
I’m in the Orlando area, and would be happy to offer you lodging while you “explore”.
Best,
skipper
Have a look at Wellington, Florida. Its 12 miles back from Palm Beach/Lake Worth, so you can do a beach trip and be back in time for tea. Lots of manicured farms, nice family friendly communities. It gets busy in the winter for the equestrian festival but in summer, its wonderfully quiet, so you get a bit of both experiences. Palm Beach International Airport is nearby and very easy to get to.
I have done a lot of half/full marathons around south Florida, l ran Miami 3 times and l would not live there if you paid me. West Palm is okay and the El Cid sector is the most quaint but it is all part of the sprawl. Key West is so pretty but over run with tourists – same for St Augustine. I did one race out at place called Tavares, it was by a lake and it was beautiful, serene but middle of nowhere. I also checked out Panama City Beach, if you get away from the tourist condos/hotels, its beautiful open countryside.
Hurricane wise, because Wellington is a bit further inland, all that we have suffered is fallen trees and a few hours with no power. Summers are humid but you get used to it, winters are great and everyone complains if its cold enough to require an extra jumper or mon dieu – a woolly hat !
Lexington SC is very conservative. A group of parents (including my daughter) in small town of Chapin, on the north side of the Lake Murray, ran three candidates for School Board and all won. Kids in that district – Pre-K – 12 – are now in school in-person 5 days a week. They do wear masks, but teachers who boycotted the first day back full-time were made to understand that once their personal and sick days run out, their checks will stop. Most were back the second day.
I thank God every day I live in SC.
We moved from NW suburb of Chicago to Southwest Florida in 2008 and have never looked back. Note: Ya better act quick! This state is flooded with new residents from up north. Real Estate pricing is raising rapidly. Homes and condos in many cases are selling the day they are listed on the MSL. Condo’s for sale on Marco Island beach front properties are now scarce. You can tell the tourists walking the streets as they are only only fools wearing masks.
Real estate prices have skyrocketed!
I am a big fan of Florida, but SC has its charms. And we need help getting rid of Lindsey.
Tn might be a good fit, Still have seasons and all are mild with the once a year snow. no state income tax etc check it out.
Fckin A they WILL NOT!
Way to go Ronnie D!
I’ll be traveling there in March and moving end of this year.
DeSantis needs to refer to Coumo and his response when POTUS wanted to restrict travel to NY at the peak.
psssst – pssssssssssst.
can you get your credit union to disconnect the banking so the Treasury can’t offset money without permission..
This one move would end their power.
I’m sorry for bringing this up. I know this information makes it hard to not fight anymore.
DeSantis is not going to let this illegitimate regime turn Florida into a covid ridden, desolate hellhole like NY ILL CA.
Wrote to my congressional rep Stephanie Murphy to voice opposition to shutting Florida down. Won’t make a difference as she is a commie and a Pelosi lapdog.
Can we erect toll plazas and stop all coming from DC and NY and CA and the rest of the corrupt states from coming into Florida and tax them ?
Why? Convince them to come on down and SPEND SOME MONEY!
Speaking of which… that’s what this JoeBama insanity makes me want to do… get in my FREAKING CAR and skedaddle down to The Ol’ Sunshine State and SPEND SOME FREAKING MONEY… I don’t drink anymore, but I think I just might have a cocktail on a sunny beach somewhere…hm?… and I’ll use my Bank Of America Check Card EXCLUSIVELY… just ‘cuz…
We started saying that in the late 60’s figuring it would help pay for roads!
We also said the last American to leave Miami please bring the flag. We were being invaded by boat people at the time.
We need to troll the heck out of them, use alinsky, go on all lefty websites and call them commies and cheaters liars snow flake are hurt because they are hive minded.
patriots have no fear!
I was doing that on YouTube. I got yeeted and perma-banned for making “abusive comments.” LOL!
Trump is the Governor of Florida!
stand with Great Gov DeSantis,
I really don’t like Florida or beach travel, but the second china jo says I can’t go there, I’m going.
‘Zactly.
I not only think this man should be POTUS, I think he should be President of the world….superb human being.
I am ready for the secession conversation.
The only thing the democrats want is to stick an ice pick in the eye of anyone who disagrees with them. There is no living with these violent insane unhinged people who cannot do arithmetic.
Let them have the left coast new england ny del md mn dc and Chicago and hawaii. They can have detroit if they want it.
Their idea of coexist is their jackboot on your head forever.
Their fantasyland of no carbon and green energy and open borders will implode within 5 years. And then they get to stay inside their s holes forever.
I say we secede just after Sec of Defense Austin clears all conservatives of of the ranks of the military.
Would the Federal Government be able to do that anyway? That would be over-stepping their powers. Wouldn’t it?
If tbe two halves can agree on a separation please explain how that could not be brokered.
I am little interested in legal arguments and niceties or why it cant.
I am interested in the reality that we have one half of the nation that has lost its damned mind and the need for the sane half to get away from them as soon as possible.
I say we divide the country along the Mississippi River and let the libs govern one half and the conserves the other.
Which side would you pick? East or west?
A Stud Trumps a dud!
