Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is putting himself in a direct confrontation with the federal government in order to protect workers in his state.
Earlier today Florida Governor Ron DeSantis repeated his threat to fine any entity, business, county, city or federal offices with a $5,000 fine -per incident- if they attempt to discriminate against unvaccinated employees, or threaten the employment status of non-vaccinated workers.
Appearing together with Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, DeSantis stated: “If a government agency in the state of Florida forces a vaccine as a condition to employment, that violates Florida law and you will pay”…
.
Rush Limbaugh famously would say we know their playbook.
DeSantis knows the playbook and keeps ahead of it.
More should follow his lead.
I love my Governor (never thought I would say love in the same sentence with a politician). I would like to contribute to Gov. DeSantis directly, not through the GOP. Does anyone know the best way to do so? Anyone know is friendsofrondesantis legit?
I was a State Committee Man from St. Johns County when Ron DeSantis ran for congress the First Time. I have met him several times and attended many in home fund raisers. He is a true patriot, believer in the Founders vision and, most importantly…scary smart. That is the reason the Democrats FEAR him.
I live in St. Aug. Ron DeSantis was my rep. and a good one (one of a very few). I thank God that he’s our Gov right now.
That’s how I give to his campaign.
Friends of Ron DeSantis.
I get the sense that this move is about something else and not as much about jab mandates. Are they creating this distraction and turmoil to keep us emotionally upended? This won’t be implemented without fierce legal confrontations. They are up to something else. Maybe its a dry run in an effort to dissolve state rule. I don’t know but it’s well beyond creepy .
If they deploy the National Guard and fence in the capitol buildings once again, yes, they are up to something.
DeSantis is ex-JAG, lawyer and Congressman. He’s learned a lot from Trump’s playbook.
He’s surrounded himself with a cabinet and legislature of common sense Florida’s.
The saying goes, if you can survive a Florida summer, you can survive almost everything!!!
. We will survive the Feds.
We have the strength, will, and common sense to survive…and add to that the the brain drain and $$$ from the New blue state residents.
We don’t fear hurricanes and we don’t fear the Federal Government.
It’s the Florida way.
After living here 50 years, I am proud of my Independent thinking state, my Governor and the resistant people who are survivors…many from communist Cuba, Venezuela, and corrupt Puerto Rico.
They too fight every day to keep Florida FREE of Federal over-reach. They have experienced the iron grasp first hand.
And Texas. A friend in San Antonio said the Hispanics are galvanizing as well. They are living the hell of illegals, sex trafficking and drug cartels. Not to mention the illegals threatening their job security.
If your state covid numbers are up, you can thank the unvaccinated illegals dumped into our states under the cover of darkness.
Didn’t see illegals and Afghan refugees mentioned in that mandate!!!!
RESIST.
The Covid numbers are ALL MANUFACTURED. Every aspect. YOu just have to look at the data published by the Ministry of Covid Truth (CDC). They are too stu[pid to even try to doctor the real numbers, or so confident in the media’s role in dumbing down Americans, they do not even try ot hide the truth borne in the data.
Town hall reports today on a new study showing half of COVID hospitalizations in 2021 are no such thing:

I know this a pipe dream since no prominent Republican will even say anything negative about the jab. But wouldn’t it be grand if one of them came out and said this was all just a planned scamdemic? Covid is no more dangerous than the seasonal flu. In fact it is a seasonal flu……
Exactly, Wendy Bell Radio has been providing CDC statistics on her BS board for months. She always challenges people to fact check her!
Agreed. And where did all the flu cases and deaths go?
You almost had a crack bisexual who was married and found in a motel room passed out with a male prostitute covered in seman and fecal matter
This is how close to insanity we all are
Shudder!! Please don’t remind me! It was truly Divine Intervention.
It’s about –
National health Care – Obama didn’t get it done but they were only a pandemic or so away from it
National Chaos – Obama also didn’t get it done but he certainly set the wheels turning to do it.
The elimination of States rights (requires a lot of chaos)
International law superseding US law. This has been a constant for at least half a century. I believe it will require a lot of chaos to achieve
Government control of natural resources, particularly water (see california) and air (look at the mask).
There is more when you stop and think about it.
Your suspicions are supported when you see the resurgence of Obama’s move to control local police departments, which serves The One’s goal of a national police force. AG Garland is all over it:

Where do they get the money to pay thee claims? It all comes back to the taxpayer. It SHOULD come out of the salary and pension of every DC elected and appointed elite. Until they are made to personally pay, put THEIR livlihoods on the line, the insanity will continue. (Recall the list of Congressmen who had sexual harassment claims paid out of taxpayer funds and whose names we cannot find out!).
Where does one go to report a violation ? We must be prepared to engage.
Our annual training at my workplace includes nondiscrimination education so that our agency does not run afoul of Title 6 and 7 of the Civil Rights act since we receive tons of funding from Medicaid, Medicare. In that training is this nugget. Since it is a training and not a legal setting, the exact legalese is not included. I leave it up to the legal minds here to sort it out. Basically, there are laws that are based in the Americans with Disabilities Act and tied into Title 7 that prevent discrimination of employees or even potential employees based on whether they may or may not have a contagious disease. These laws are in place because of AIDS back in the late 80s and early 90s. HIPAA prevents employers from asking employees about the status of the disease, treatment or testing. These same laws can be applied to COVID. Noncompliance with ADA, HIPAA, Title 6 and Title 7 are big deals in our company and whole departments exist to prevent even inadvertent violations. Let your employer know you know your rights under actual law.
But what about the Insurance Companies covering businesses mandating Vax or penalties? Some are requiring unvaxinated to pay $200 more per family member….pretty steep for most folks! And some businesses stipulating “no hire” for unvaxed … as well as stipulating that current unvaxed employees will lose their jobs?
I love my governor DeSantis!
I don’t think he’ll be successful. A federal judge will just say they can’t do that and the GOP will go oh well we tried. It would take many states and the willingness to ignore federal courts.
Our country is gone – it was lost several decades ago we just didn’t know it. Prepare as if you were in Russia in 1917 or Venezuela in the 2000s.
The federal government has told you they own you body and soul. Comply or die is the future.
One thing that would really help his mandate fight would be to say at every opportunity these ‘vaccines’ are not safe and are not effective. He does neither. Makes me doubt his sincerity.
“Comply or die is the future”
If that is the future then what are you free to do that you aren’t free to do now.
I applaud Governor DeSantis’s stand on this issue, but have to question how effective it will be. In the end, WHO will actually pay those fines? The taxpayers, or the politicians?
You’re expecting there to be fines? And I should hope the world health organization would pay the fines… they are largely responsible for this.
Uncommon courage. However, anything they do to him now will only make him more powerful and more likely to become a future US President. And they’ve obviously got NOTHING on him or they’d have smeared him into oblivion by now.
Not really. This only applies to state government employees. Disney is mandating the death jab for 150,000 employees as we read this. It’s all a crock. The only people who will be able to avoid the death jab will be Congress, federal judges, retirees, and welfare recipients legal and illegal.
It’s a planned genocide coupled with a slave system – you will have to show your mark to buy or sell or earn. We are 2 years away from planned digital currency. When that day comes, you will not eat without their permission and they’ll tell how much, how often, and what you can eat.
That’s always been the point of this. Ask yourself why Donald Trump, DeSantis, and everyone “on our side” tells you the vaccines are good and you should take them?
I’ve been wondering about Disney. I’m a Florida resident, and as such, if Sundance’s interpretation of the law is correct, should be shielded from getting fired for not submitting to the jab.
He still promotes a harmful, dangerousness, ineffective ‘vaccine’. Pats himself on the back for his ‘vaccines’ rollout. How he made it available to Seniors first. In fact just last week he said Seniors should still get ‘vaccinated’. He says it should be a personal choice though in consultation with your doctor. How can anyone make an informed choice when the truth is hidden by media, by doctors and by Ron.
If he or any prominent Republican had ever spoken out about ‘vaccine’ harmful side effects or lack of efficacy during the past year, truths we all know… perhaps we would never have had mandates. The theme of this press conference, where half a dozen persons spoke was ‘we are not anti vaccines just anti mandates’. Pause for cheers. For Christ sakes how can anyone with half a brain not be anti vaccine? He never said once during this lengthy press conference that there were any concerns whatsoever about their safety. Pretty glaring omission. One female fire fighter in red may have touched on it very very briefly. I wonder if there were instructions to not speak out about safety or efficacy? There had to have been. Why? Speaking to natural immunity being an important factor, which he did, is not the same thing.
I don’t think this law applies to private businesses in spite of SD’s headline and second paragraph contents.
Agreed. I’m getting tired of the right’s knee-jerk genufecting to the left’s narrative. By doing so they are hanging out to dry brave doctors like Malone, McCullough, Simone, and many more.
My guess is DeSantis knows he’s got a huge bullseye on him and he has to pick his battles. He has defended natural immunity, which is big and something that most cowardly or corrupt people in power have not done. He’s also defended our right to choose.
I’m not going to hold it against him for not going full anti-vax. That might be just a matter of time, as more data comes in and it becomes impossible for the dems/media to hide. Also, as someone once said, “the enemy of good is perfect”. Gov. DeSantis is really good; probably as strong a leader as anyone in the country.
Most likely many of his constituents have taken the jab (before the adverse events were known) and there’s nothing to gain by scaring them and giving Biden and the media more reason to attack him. Fighting for us to have the choice to do our own research and make our own decision is good enough for me, right now.
I disagree with you but appreciate your measured thoughtful response. I was lampooned by treepers afflicted with DWS (DeSantis worship syndrome) a few days ago for daring to say anything negative about him. Cheers
Thank you Governor DeSantis sir.
I love this Governor more each day!
It certainly is a war against the employed unvaccinated, and yes Joe, OUR patience is also wearing thin!
Love this guy!!!
Ticker Guy has a game plan for fighting the vaccine mandates:
That ought to do it. Let’s see which state has the nuts to enact it; the cost of the State Treasury is very nearly zero as the base rate should cover operating expenses as the basic SUI structure is already present within the State machinery.
Governors Lee and DeSantis, where are you!
More to the point: Want to see every corporation force the Government to fold instantly?
Pass this in the red states and they will.

This is beyond criminal, this is right out of some dystopian novel. Hopefully the law that Desantis signed regarding fines holds, hopefully he can stop this dead in its tracks. But, we all know the left, logic and reason are rarely if ever found in their mentally corrupt wheelhouse.
So is that a one time fine? I read that Biden’s fine is $14,000 and DeSantis’s is only $5,000 making the choice for businesses pretty straight forward. De Santis needs to raise his fine to $30,000.
Per. my Doctor’s nurse this morning, there is around a 1,000,000 nurse shortage nationwide.
So it may not be a bed shortage, but a personnel shortage.
And Biden is forcing companies and Health Care facilities to fire the un- vaccinated ?
What are they thinking?
They are keeping a crisis alive any way they can.
Hospitals are required to report available beds. In order for a bed to be available it must have the staff on hand for that bed. The hospitals are in the act of committing financial suicide because if they put a warm body in an open bed they don’t have the staff to monitor then if the warm body becomes a cold body they are open to a gross negligence law suit.
I would like to have heard what he has to say, but it appears the video is “unavailable” Hmmmmm….. I wonder why.
video has already been censored by google/youtube
