As many local and state governments’ debate the Marxist request to defund the police department, at least one governor goes in the exact opposite direction. Today Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced:
“I will sign into law $1,000 bonuses for every sworn law enforcement officer, every EMT, every firefighter and every paramedic in the state of Florida”.
.
“The difference between argument and action is belief in your own intentions.” ~John Hayward
Well done Governor.
For the love of everything that IS common sense, does not this nations people have eyes to see and ears to hear?
No
Apparently common sense isn’t that common.
You are mistaken, they are waking and they are responding. The Democrat party will soon be dead.
my hope and prayer.
Not to be a total smart ass, but I would like to point out that you are asking this question when over 1/2 our population is still wearing a face diaper that has been shown to do absolutely nothing to prevent them from getting the rona.
I’m glad someone has some sense. I work for doctors. No lie- they tell me what I already knew (and what Dr Fraudci really knows to be true)- masks don’t stop this virus. They don’t work. One of them said he will not wear a mask past July 3rd.
I have no data to back this up but IMHO more than half of them are doing it purely out of fear of confrontation by mask Nazis.
I see a lot of bravado while hiding behind the anonymity of the internet but out in the real world I see people scurrying to avoid others, do what they have to do, and get home.
It’s the ones wearing masks in their cars and at home outside in their yards who are the hardcore idiots.
I must admit, while I only wore the mask outside for a few weeks in the beginning, the only reason I ever wore it in stores was because I didn’t want any confrontation. This weekend is going to be interesting because I live in FL where Gov De Santis wiped out the local mandate and the Mayors are not happy about it and are relying on the public to do the “right” thing. Well the right thing for me is no more mask.
Yep, the face diaper. I continue not wearing one and I’m seeing more hostile looks my way than six, eight or even 12 months ago.
And running by the millions to get a so called vaccine at the request and propaganda from the govt. People are not yet able to overcome fear and see the facts for what they are, imo. At least not the majority of them. When more of them open their eyes and minds to what has been done to them, maybe we get moving faster in the right direction again.
DeSantis helps that’s for sure. What a majorly bold move he just made here.
Checking in from Seattle .. and we are going backwards. Idiot Jay has SUSPENDED our opening until he thinks everyone is obeying. Seriously. We must reach so many adults jabbed or he will do … something.
Oo I hear you. I live in Delaware but have family in Seattle area that are totally on board of how great the JoBama administration is doing. SMH some people have head in sand.
“..some people have head in sand.”
If you’re implying that there is sand up their keesters then I agree with you. ?
this percentage vaccinated is a real sham. Our NC governor says 2/3. we already have people with natural immunity. Vaccine + natural immunity = herd immunity. You don’t need 2/3 vaccinated. And I will wage you will never reach that I know we won’t. For 3 weeks now NC has been doing walk in vaccine clinic. No appt.
The fanatic diligence the left is putting into vaccine compliance is frightening.
Biden did not win the popular vote. He’s lucky if he won 1/3 of the ballots cast. The election was stolen.
The far left currently occupying the Whitehouse are illegitimate occupiers.
The majority of Americans very clearly see that Biden is governing against the will of the people.
He and the democrats need to be removed from office and tried for stealing the election.
They know. We know. When they voted, the Government Party rigged the election.
Governor!!! You are really making it hard for me to choose Texas over Florida….
That’s my Governor! I voted for him!!!
I want this Governor!
Me too! And we are keeping him.
Except for our President Trump, I never thought it was possible to LOVE a politician.
Governor Ron DeSantis is the BOMB.
DeSantis is making our Canadian leadership look like amateur hour ×1000.
What a bunch of blathering self centered ignorant excuse for a politicians we have here. Dispiriting to say the least.
DD
I tend to wonder just how much of President Trump is involved in DeSantis. I’m not taking any thunder from the governor of Florida but we know who resides there and also is a close friend of said governor.
Before DeSantis was governor he was a rep from Florida and a member of the Freedom Caucus.
<Governor Ron DeSantis is the BOMB.>
This may sound strange…but I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. 🙂
Perfect diction WORDMAN!
Okay, but where is this money coming from? At the end of the day, this is still government spending… is it coming from raised taxes, inflation, or a budget cut in another area?
With greater safety come more tourist and more money into the state and local coffers.
Coming from visitors and more and more permanent residents moving to Florida, USA!
I signed a lease near Punta Gorda 6 mos ago and will be moving permanently as we untangle from oHIo. Gov dewhine is a RINO through and through!
Welcome.
Fresh potable WATER will be a critical issue in Florida before the end of the decade. Salt water intrusion is a big problem. Population growth of this magnitude cannot be sustained. The Villages is a blight on central Florida. I know the folks who started this disaster called the Villages. They literally cut down tens of thousands of beautiful Oak and Hickory trees and planted PALM trees in their place. The Villages started as a lowly mobile home park and has grown to be a monster in our midst. But folks are making money hand over fist. Why not stay in your home state and fix things there?
It is possible that this might save money over the longterm if you were to consider the costs of overtime.
A budget cut from another area no longer if ever an area needed.
It’s called an investment. God Bless FL first responders!
Floridian here…we have a balanced budget, lower unemployment, no taxes, lots of new residents and strong tourism
Planning on touristing just as soon as I can (when it isn’t too hot for me). Love to Florida
Florida does not have state income taxes.
And you have much better weather than Wyoming.
Money well spent.
Gov. DeSantis is an excellent role model for every other governor in the US, I hope some will begin to follow his lead.
We need more leaders like him. Hopefully his courage is contagious.
I think Real President Trump should have his first rally in Florida!
Many already have.
He’s basically starting a Common Sense Movement.
Make Common Sense Great Again!
Love this ^^^^^
Holy schmokes, Go get ’em Tiger!
What’s there to say–DeSantis just gets it. Amazing leader.
That’s the spirit !! These people get to see, as part of their jobs, some of the worst of the human species.
Wake up police hating Dem states! This is how a real & brave Governor governs. Bravo Gov. DeSantis (a future President for sure)! Wish he was my Gov. , but alas I live in blue Delaware.
Frickin’ love this guy!!! Job well done!
I wish I lived in Florida.
This was in my town at our police station with our police chief. Love my little beach community and our terrific Governor.
Show, don’t tell!! Yes! You’re awesome, Gov. DeSantis!! God bless and keep you and your police officers!
I’m going gay for DeSantis. Stud muffin for president. Wake up wuss Republicans, this is how you win higher office.
This guy is impressing me more and more.
Geez.. go Ron Go! Now this is how you treat your first responders.
Charlie Crist has absolutely zero chance to be governor, DeSantis is amazing and a tough act to follow. Give it up, Crist, your time has come and gone.
I hope he runs, actually. Not a lot of love for Crist, even among Democrats.
They’ll lose their U.S. House seat and the Governorship both.
It’s a two-fer.
OOHHH Dats gonna piss off the leftists! Great job Gov DeSantis
I want them so mad – and petrified- that they’ll just leave the State.
???this is how we do it!?
You just hear the Libtard heads exploding nationwide!!
The ‘Defund the Police’ anarchy promoters are being severely TRIGGERED today and I love it!
Time to go and check out Lib blogs for a hardy laugh.
This is how to lead by example and support your local agencies.
Keep America Great!
And to think I used to live in Seattle.
Phew!!!!!!!
Best. Decision. I ever made.
He never ceases to amaze me!
Florida will be inundated with police applications for employment – hope they run them all through the AG’s office and week out the Democrats.
Pelosi is likely to plan to have Dems move to red states such as this one and Texas – they don’t like success and will go to extremes to destroy it.
one of my concerns is capitulating territory to the Communists!!!
Why do Americans have to move to enjoy Constitutional Freedoms?
Dont. Be a thorn in their butt like me.
My family got to CO 125 years ago.
They will not chase me out of my home.
Exactly! Stay in your home state and fix IT if you are concerned about your freedom. You are ceding territory to the enemy by running. Florida will be California soon as conservatives aren’t the only folks coming here. Disney ruined central Florida for $$$$$ and the carpetbagging continues unabated. We don’t have the water resources to accommodate the folks who are here now. Stand where you are and fight this beast system!
Ready for prime time! First, DeSantis will be decisively reelected governor. Then, president. Great messaging including the sign on his podium. He has learned from the Maestro. Sundance chose a Trumpian photo of him pointing at a reporter like a boss!
You are assuming that there will be National elections in 2024. Do you really think the globalist cabal will allow that? If conservatives get too frisky and the truth does manage to come out martial law will be imposed. The ship of state sailed when the Insurrection Act was not enacted after the stolen election. Someone choked bigly and here we are.
Ok….so it has been a long while since I have posted….
So much has happened since last I did so.
First….found out mid-April that Philadelphia has the most restrictive COVID restrictions EVER….
Yep…my hometown..the home of’ Let Freedom Ring’ is the absolute WORST….try planning a Wedding there….nightmare!!!!
Lovin’ DeSantis bold moves….man after my own heart….
I am OVER the besmirching of those not vaccinating and sainthood accorded to those who do ….
I am OVER the pilloring of Trump and his supporters…
I am over the gun grab…I mean the young ones today have absolutely NO CLUE as to the import and purpose of the Second Amendment…was just told by a 23 yr old that no one should need a gun bigger than a concealed carry…wtaf…It goes without saying that we all must have weaponry that matches or exceeds that of our govt or else we are sitting ducks…that reasoning was an absolute ‘wow’ moment for this young person who simply replied that one hopes ‘they are good enough that the govt doesnt go after them’…seriously…these colleges and schools have taught them nothing about the Holocaust or Venezuela or China or Russia…wtaf…
Regardless…over IT ALL….
Wish I could be like Bill Gates and buy a private island…oh wait..then that would make me like him….I think not…will continue to fight back on the micro level hoping to make an impact on the
macro.
Didn’t Democrats make Epstein Island a state?
Too funny…maybe a Sanctuary State…for the pedophiles?????
A big percentages of America’s voters are clueless and in fact do need a Dictator. The key is to make sure it is a conservative benevolent Dictator.
DeSantis seems to be the kind of Dictator the United States needs in the present environment.
Trump is perfect in an ideal America. However, we are presently not in and ideal America. We are in an America of group Sheep and not in an America of individual Lions.
Trump herds Sheep by shepherds hook and coaxing. DeSantis herds Sheep with prod and Sheep dogs.
Everyday on FB I post for Police! Since I am serving my last day of suspension, I haven’t done that in a few days. The following are 3
Each one always has a prayer and blessings.
I wanted a general idea of how many police, EMTs and firefighters there are in Florida. I didn’t find the most recent data but it looks like there are around 475,000 to 500,000 of them all told.
500,000 x $1,000 each = $500,000,000.
Florida’s total budget is expected to be near $100 billion this year.
Article on Florida’s anticipated budget:
https://www.news-journalonline.com/story/news/state/2021/04/27/florida-state-budget-deal-funnels-1-000-bonuses-first-responders/4855036001/
I would rather see that money go for our Officers, firefighters and EMTs than illegals.
Do you realize that most states spend way more than that for Illegals..
.Last year over 275 Billion was spend on Illegals by our federal government, which does not even include the cost of crimes committed by Illegals, or the cost to Americans of crimes committed by Illegals to them..
So I would rather see these funds go to our finest who go far beyond what their pay covers.
I like this guy! This is how you DO IT!
God I love this guy!
May a thousand angels surround this extraordinary man.
$1,000?
Shoot… Andrew Gillum would have given them their own gay hooker and all the crack they could smoke.
Gillum will probably get that to buy his crack and hooker. s/
I am not on the abolish the police side but I hardly think big government reward they’re fellow government employees at taxpayers expense statewide is the way to go. I also don’t support a police state either.
You’re right. FL should follow NY’S lead and give that money to illegals.
You are in a police state whether you support it or not. It is not necessarily those in Blue, but those with the letters FBI and DOJ.
My prayer for you CheckIn is that there NEVER comes a time when you are in desperate need of an officer and due to lack of police and/or police support in the area you are at the time, there is no one capable of responding in a timely manner.
You do realize that almost every city that had riots where the politicians were supporting rioters versus the police, 20% of more the police in those areas have left. On top of that, these riot areas cannot find outside help, or people that are capable of being good officers to take the the place of those who left.
Around 25% or more of Portland’s police department has quit and around 20% are on disability from injuries due Antifa assaults and abuse during Antifa riots.. Governor Brown cannot get any other police department in the state crazy enough to send anyone from their department to Portland to help out. Even though Mayor Wheeler and his Council have asked repeatedly for around 6 months now, Governor Brown refuses to send in the National Guard.
Most in Oregon are to the point that they do believe Governor Brown is supporting the Antifa people and their destruction of Portland
This just feels like let’s spend money so we can own the libs and perhaps payback for law enforcement for erroneous covid restrictions.
Works for me.
No.
Governance is about creating a medium in which all who chose to work can excel. Not handing out taxpayers coin for professionals.
Hope Treepers understand LEO’s can make well over 100k annually.
Welders can earn $150k and don’t get shot at very often. So what?
Hope you understand that in a second, a LEO can be murdered, especially in this hostile environment that Obama and the Democrats have created and fostered since 2009!
Currently there is average of more than a dozen daily intentional assaults of police officers
As of today more than one officer of the law has been murdered a day trying to protect people!
Protecting people who seem to think officers get paid too much for putting their life on the line every day for others.
In the last 2 years there have been far too many police assault, murder and ambush videos like this one I posted.
.
Sorry meant to say a week…
Since the first of the year over 3 dozen officers are been shot, knifed or run over by criminals. That is only the tip of the iceberg of officer deaths this year.
Good for LEOs. They should be paid well for putting their lives on the line everyday. A bonus for a job well done in protecting the public, while risking much more personally than most of said public, is well deserved, imo.
Excellent John Hayward post(Doc Zero to us dinosaurs) linked by Sundance up top.
“Passive conservatives accept the Left’s moral framework, abandoning the most important momentum-shifting battles as irrevocably lost,
and focus on a few policy quibbles that can be debated without challenging the Left’s core premises.
They speak of wanting what the Left wants, but having different ideas about the best way to get there.
They are fluent in the language of the Left and accept its judgments about which people, ideas, and tactics are out of bounds for the Right.
They see no hills worth dying on.
Having conceded righteousness to the Left, they can imagine no righteous conservative crusade,
no uncompromising conservative position, nothing that would shift the momentum of politics away from its perpetual swing to the Left.
Everything the Right holds is negotiable.”
Muslims told Spain that once a country was Islam’s, it was their property forever.
King George told the colonists the same thing.
The Democrat Slave Power told Dred Scott that once he was a slave, he was a slave forever.
And Communists told conquered countries that they would never be permitted to leave the Radiant Future.
“What’s ours is ours, and what’s yours is negotiable.”
That’s what the Left thinks. And that’s what our Fascist Occupation Government says:
“Elections belong to us. Government belongs to us. And, finally, you belong to us.”
We’ll see what happens.
Anything not nailed down is mine.
Anything I can pry up is not nailed down.
De Santis keeps governing like a man with his head screwed on straight.
If De Santis become president, the first order of business. Drain the swamp, get rid of corruption and commies. Top to bottom.
I will be impressed when politicians give government employees money out of their own pockets rather than taxpayer money. How hard is it to be altruistic with other peoples money.
LEOs are being paid by taxpayers for protection from criminals. A bonus from the taxpayers for a job well done is not just a politicians ploy.
With police everywhere being ridiculed, eliminated and denigrated, there’s nothing wrong with telling them they are appreciated for doing a very difficult, risky job for the rest of us. You don’t like being given a bonus for a job well done and to boost morale?
This is leadership. A governor that fights for the People and not special interest groups.
This is a leader we need in Washington
BEST Governor in the USA.
A governor for the people. Refreshing!
Just like Trump, Desantis is doing everything right. He has excellent instincts and is acting on them with confidence and winning his battles. We need to pray for Desantis — the uniparty will give him hell.
I would love to see the entire Portland police department quit and move to Florida.
OK is it just me or is the forum format a bit wonky..
VERY large regardless if if use Chrome or Firefox.
Thank you for the email Kin! Someone’s comment contained tons of wonky HTML code, and it was messing with the whole thread. It’s now fixed. 😀
Pray that it was not me…I did post 3 pics but knew better than to include the HTML code that I usually have with them when I post on FB…
God Bless–you all..
I had wanted to edit my post to say “of the law has been murdered a week” versus “the law has been murdered a day” .. but it was so wonky all I could do was reply my correction!
TY TY TY
Complete and total ENVY from Arizona. 🙁
God Bless Governor Desantis. While the pure evil that is pervading our country, at the behest of the Biden Crime Family, this Governor is a bright light shining in the darkness.
