The professional Marxists are coming up against the reality of their minority position worldview. Earlier today the Democrat Governor’s Association (DGA) informed the political club insiders the DGA are not going to fund any candidate attempting to unseat Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. {LINK} The underlying message from the democrat apparatus is clear, attempting to win a large race in the increasingly free state of Florida is futile.
Meanwhile Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has scored two big wins for freedom with court cases affirming the state position that parental choice in the school mask option is legal and safe. {LINK} School districts in blue regions are being forced to reverse their effort to force students to wear masks. DeSantis and the Florida legislature have won that battle with support from reasonable science and factual medical research.
At the same time Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has filed a petition for review of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandatory vaccine rule within the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. {LINK} This fulfills a promise by Governor DeSantis to trigger a direct fight against the Biden administration on the issue of mandatory vaccinations. This effort, also taking place in other circuit courts around the nation, has obvious implications.
Amid the larger fight for freedom, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke Friday at the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) and used this ppportunity to tout his record and blast Democrats and the Biden administration. WATCH:
.
Governor DeSantis is doing well on a state level, with the issues of freedom, liberty and constitutional constraints of government. He is doing a lot correctly.
However, there is no indication -yet- that he would be willing or able to confront the issue of toxic globalism on a national scale with strength to advance the issues of economic nationalism that underpin the biggest freedom issue for Making America Great Again. On the big picture issue of Wall Street -vs- Main Street, the direct confrontation of multinational corporations to support the American middle-class, DeSantis has yet to take a public position.
Today I received a letter supposedly from “Gov. Ron DeSantis” asking me to complete a survey…
…AND to send money to the Republican National Committee!
I believe I will not waste a stamp on the request.
Note that the RNC knows whom they should use to support their RINO agenda!
NOTE that the RNC also thinks I am stupid and will send them money!
I might use the envelope to send then an essay on why Conservatives will NOT support their idiocy!
Exactly ?
I’ve been sending ALL RNC and related mail back with the message,
“Support President Donald Trump and MAGA and our Constitutional Republic.”
“ALL other requests for money will NOT be granted until you act NOW regarding elections integrity and putting our Citizens first in your service to our Republic.”
I felt they let our great President down and don’t want anything to do with their money messages to me.
I’ve done the same. If you don’t recognize the 2020 election fraud and start fighting against it, then I’m not sending a dime. I am now a Trump Republican. Start fighting or get off the tracks.
Joel,
I usually load the envelope with pennies before returning it..
Best,
skipper
Anything from the RNC should be returned with used toilet paper sealed inside, but only if the postage is prepaid. And change your party registration to independent.
Writing FOAD across their survey makes them stop sending you surveys
I always send the RNC a check. I write out a check for $1000.00 then write VOID across it. In the memo line : RINOS SUCK. Then I mail it to them. Worth a stamp.
That would be worth hand-carrying it to them… Well done.
Beautiful! A++ for creativity!
They do that under President Trump’s name as well.
As have you now too, I’ve learned to double-check exactly where the money is going to before even thinking of contributing.
The RNC is our enemy.
Yep… Utterly shameless. I have them blocked on every email address, and they STILL come through!
Just like the scammers they are.
Yup, It’s a must!
Sorry … I don’t send money.
No $ to the RNC – zero. Don’t waste postage either. They called me Sunday and spoke down to me as the peasant that I am to them. I told them to go fly a kite.
And don’t donate thru Winred, the odious, grifting, lying, predatory PRIVATELY OWNED donation platform that skims off 4% of every donation, into wealthy RINO HANDS.
Not even ActBlue is that brazen… It’s non-profit.
is there a link where i could explore that “4% of donations go to RNC ” further?
do you mean across the board or just that some candidates have made that arrangement?
thanks in advance.
Mail a paper check to your candidate of choice.
I do to mtg
I recently received a phone call from a young woman claiming to be from the young republicans. I told her that I will only send money to Donald Trump and that the GOP could kiss my ass unless and until they get rid of Mitch McConnell and his heard of rinos. I believe she was in tears as she hung up on me . . . GOOD!
Same here.. ????
Good for you! I love your planned response. I have received a couple of fund raisers from the RNC (Pence – I know rolling on the floor with laughter and Nikki Haley – not on your life!) but I’ve been shredding them thinking they might get the message from non-response but I really like your essay idea.
If you don’t mind, I believe I will borrow your idea!
I shredded it and called my congressman and told his office I did and let the rnc know. Not one dime.
Join or start a local Tea Party Chapter along with a local/county Watchdog group. Go to meetings, film them, and hammer them with the “real” problems they are causing and debt bondage they have accrued with their incompetence and criminality
I return the postage paid envelopes with washers in them.
Another creative message!
HA!!! I used to do that long ago with sheet metal scrap cut to fit to fill out their envelopes heavily and make them pay for the overage. 🙂
You remind me of a friend who stuffed such envelopes from RINOS – and any other junk mail with postage-paid envelopes – with religious tracts from a fundamentalist society called The Gospel Tract Society! 🙂
Perfect Ausonius! Go for it, send that essay!
As I’ve said several times I do not do political donations anymore. Tired of seeing the millions & even billions spend on one candidate, actually wasted on one candidate. There is so much much more that could be done with that money in America, then wasted media space.
If a New Jersey truck driver can do it, so can the other candidates!!!
Re: I believe I will not waste a stamp on the request.
If it came without a postage paid envelope, all the better. Just stuff everything back into the envelope and send it out with no postage added. That way, THEY have to pay the return postage.
Threw it straight into the trash.
I get lots of such emails….
I look into them… and like you I see that these are not coming from Trump or others such as that… these are coming from the Republican Establishment.
I delete those emails.
I left the Republican party soon after the 2020 election. I still get letters from the RNC. Nope – I will not rejoin the Republican party unless there is politician in the primary that needs support in Florida. If I can directly donate to Ron DeSantis, I will probably do so.
I have supported Ron frequently and didn’t receive this letter. I’ve never supported the RNC because they can’t be trusted.
Many thanks for all the fine – and creative! – responses!
“I have supported Ron frequently and didn’t receive this letter.”
It is interesting that I received this in the mail, because we just changed addresses two months ago.
I will be wondering in my little essay to them whether the RNC will be pulling the plug of support from those 13 RINOS who voted for the latest monster of Pelosi’s Political Pornography, i.e. that disastrous, multi-trillion dollar budget bill.
I write “FK YOU. TRUMP WON.” on it with a red marker and send it back. Except, of course, I spell out the “fk.” Wouldn’t want to confuse them. After all, they are stupid enough to think we would still send them money.
Florida Free
Republican apparatus is clear, attempting to win a large race in the increasingly slave state of California is futile.
The west coast states all have mail in ballots. The west coast states all have dem supermajorities. Without the cheating that mail in ballots enable dems are toast. This is the reason for COVID shutdowns. Think of how many times the dems tried and failed to oust PDJT. The only way they were able to stop him is by shutting down the schools (where most of us vote) and enabling mail in ballots. The dems didn’t care 1 whit how many people died or lost their livelihoods due to their shutdowns. This was and still is all about power and money. Wait till next Nov when you have to be vaxxed in order to vote. You think that can’t happen? Think again.
Sundance, your assessment regarding President Trump(economics) and Governor Ron DeSantis(political bureaucracy)has proved out so far.
I don’t think there’s privately anything currently at major odds between them and I believe they both realize our Constitutional Republic needs both men in their best use positions of service to our Constitutional Republic if it is to survive and flourish again.
I would rather see Trump run against Rubio in 2022 and become Senate leader and then have DeSantis as President. As we saw last time around, the senate was used to control the Presidency. That needs to change.
Man would that be sweet!
Attempting to win a large race (National) in the increasingly MAGA country of the USA is futile.
Biden Didnt Win. We saw it with our own eyes.
“You will see it with even bigger demands on their Big Tech and Big Government allies to crush voices of communication against their enemy.”
They will do it again and the ramifications for getting caught again are? NOTHING
In both Virginia and New Jersey, Democratic counties slowed their election result reporting to a crawl and waited for the Republican counties to report.
After about 4 hours, they knew roughly how many they needed. Their candidate came out and told the people to go to sleep.
The next day, they win. This is becoming a pattern. Authoritarianism is here.
Interesting, the new Virgina governor was on the board of the Carlyle Group……. I guess we will see if he is a rino or not …
I think he was only allowed to win because he is deep state. It gives us a false sense of hope and distracts us from what happened with the presidency and New Jersey.
I believe the people would have revolted if they stole Virginia and they knew that.
They absolutely could not lose New Jersey. Last I heard, they were even trying to steal it from the truck driver.
Republicans and conservatives absolutely MUST begin talking about this tactic of delaying the reporting of election results. Begin talking about it and make it a thing. At least if they do it again, it looks laughable and people are paying attention. As of right now, nobody even realizes its’ happening.
I think he won because they didn’t have enough pre-printed ballots ready to go. McCauliffe was up by 10 points less than a month before the election. Just like the case with HRC, they weren’t ready. Going forward it will be SOP to print as many fake ballots as their worst case scenario predicts. At that point it really will be “why vote when I know it’s all rigged”.
So in other words…the Democrats in Florida have rendered themselves nonessential. Put them all on rafts to Cuba.
Welfare Service Centers(R, FedCo.), Mike. The Florida Blue Hives have a lot of them. For a couple of specific demographics. Those clients will never get off the tit. Never. Ever.
Curiously, Cubans have the big bores that cost big bucks and shoot big pills, and most would use them readily against the communista in those very same Blue Hives.
We don’t need Big D in DC.
We need Nobody putting the slap on Democrats.
LOVED those movies! STILL have them on VHS!
I just saw some polling on DrSantis earlier today. He is 15 to 19 points ahead of any Dem Challenger.
Also, election results integrity changes made after he won the governor’s race make it hard for Dems to do large scale massive fraud in Florida.
That’s why Trump has said in the past that Florida is the model .
Exactly ?
It really is about election integrity.
Without it we’re no longer a functioning Constitutional Republic.
Sorry Sundance, I must give DeSantis a break on confronting globalism. He is giving a master class on what Governors should be doing in their states, and doing it damn quickly every time an issue arises.
People in every state outside of Florida should be demanding why their own politicians cannot act with the same speed.
I’ve been thinking about this for some time. It’s amazing how decisive DeSantis can act on an issue, often to the benefit of his entire state. He is not a typical politician only acting on what’s best for him or his party. Yet so many other politicians seem to twiddle around, harrumph a lot and accomplish nothing.
I am willing to let him continue governing his state as he see’s fit until we get past this plandemic in more states. Once that is over and people are free and politicians move on to more mundane things or he indicates he wants to run for higher office, I can wait.
Finally, given what he has done in Florida, one could suggest he has taken on Wall Street to some extent by not rolling over for BigPharma and mandating Florida residents do whatever they dictate.
It’s also been amazing to observe the LACK of Governor Ron DeSantis style of governing in so-called “Red States”
I know our “little” brad likes the Covid support cash ? ? ? to spread to selected cronies.
He likes hiding behind his regional Health Districts and their onerous Wuhan Communist ?? China science suggestions for giving ? shield for his political emergency executive procedures over the last 18 months.
Globalist Republicans.
Personally, I believe DeSantis could be persuaded on the importance of local manufacturing. Nobody has really made a strong, consistent case. I could be wrong though.
DeSantis looks awesome at the moment because the bar for good governors is set very very low. Of all 50 governors , we only have a few that are decent. Now would be a great time to use DeSantis as a role model for what a governor should be. It is really terrible that DeSantis stands out simply because the governor crop is pitiful.
DeSantis looks good from his actions, but I suspect having a legislature behind him that supports him helps. That’s not to say he is not a leader.
Look at the number of Republican legislatures across the country, and how pathetic some of them are in just securing elections.
I agree the governor crop is pitiful. Same as many legislatures.
God please protect him!!
What a Racist Poll!
Skin color charts such as this pushed by the democrats are disgusting. We are past this nonsense.
The word “racist” is no longer a meanful word that can be used to rouse people up.
It is 100% meaningful, it is used to get 90% of the African-American vote and 60% of the Hispanic vote. Racial demagoguery works, it’s why the fascist left uses it.
It now means that you have won an argument with a liberal.
OMG these people never stop.
First they lumped them all together under the bizarre term “Hispanic”.
Now they’re separating them all by skin color.
When I was a kid, before TPTB invented that stupid umbrella term “Hispanic”, all the kids from Spanish (and Portuguese) speaking countries
were identified culturally as “Puerto Rican , Mexican , Guatemalan, Cuban, Brazilian ” etc etc . Just like the kids whose families were from
European countries were identified as Italians, Norwegians, Greeks, Polish, etc etc. and not some umbrella “white people” term.
Then that stupid “Hispanic” term came into use and wiped out their true cultural heritage.
FL republicans passed dems today in voter registrations.
https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2021/11/05/republicans-make-florida-history-pass-democrats-in-voter-registrations/
Florida seems uniquely structured to construct a border wall.
The Mexican border wall was always a Quixotic project.
In the not too future, I can see a Florida Governor running on the platform of sealing off their state (country?).
The teeming hordes of American/Democrat voters will be frustrated by the failure of their attempts to cash their federal welfare checks at the bank. The prospect of begging inside the Republic of Florida will seem preferable.
President Chelsea Clinton will denounce the racism of Florida for not allowing American economic refugees to cross their border.
To Sundance’s point…
Although DeSantis has been a great Governor responding to Biden Adm over reach…was a good Rep in Congress on many issues, and always supported Trump….
He never led on the issues and policy Trump did (maga/AF). Not that I can remember. Now, maybe he has seen the blessing of Trump’s anti globalist policy and would fully adopt it. We just don’t know yet.
There has only ever been one Trump.
DeSantis might make some people more comfortable (those sensitive to mean tweets). However, at the same time…
Pollster Richard Baris (People’s Pundit) recently said,
“It is not clear at all that Ron DeSantis can win the Rust Belt and/or Mid-Atlantic.
Not that it’ll never be. But it isn’t now.”
So, DeSantis has some more growing to do.
He has led more than any other Governor in any state. The calling of the banning of drop-boxes alone is huge. He may be wrong on economics, but let’s cool it with the criticism. He’s the best Governor in the US.
I think we may add to the tweet issue with Trump when we refer to his tweets as “mean.” We need another adjective. Maybe we should start calling them reality tweets since they reveal the truth and many people don’t like to face the truth. Personally, I loved Trump’s reality tweets because they were straightforward and called it like it is.
Exactly ?
Thanks peace
“reality tweets” from President Trump.
He should trade mark some type of daily regular comments with our Nation.
“Walking in Reality with Real Donald Trump”
I’m sure he can come up with something brief, catchy and “real”
Why not just emphasize the valid point that some people deserve to be treated with meanness, ridicule, etc…

Hint: “It’s not just DeSantis.” He’s just the spokesman – the first one to put his money where his mouth is. Now is the time to speak up and demand that YOUR Governor do the same!
Because: even though the Marxists among us are very loud-mouthed, they ARE NOT(!) the majority!
I wish he had talked about a Convention of the States rather than just term limits. More needs to be done. The NCSL is the perfect place to pitch it.
George Soros thanks you for pushing a Convention of States so he no longer needs to!
Story on the political move against O’Keefe. Please share on social media.
https://criminalsandliars.wordpress.com/2021/11/05/democrats-raid-homes-of-opposition-journalists/
Democrats should be made to live in the places they destroy
Neither has he stood for 2020 full forensic audits in FL, although he has been overwhelmed with voter requests to do so. Bad move.
SD, it may be worthwhile to look into Alaska Governor Dunleavy’s Nov. 2 announcement that the AK government will be opposing Federal overreach with respect to infringing on Alaskans’ Constitutional rights, especially regarding financial snooping, vaccine requirements and school board protests.
I’d be very interested in your take on whether this seems legit, how it might comport with FLA and TN declarations, and the 19 State AGs joining in suit against Biden and OSHA.
Isn’t really one step at a time, his job it to lead and protect Florida and has done it well.
I don’t feel he is looking at 24 at this point.
That Is our future President DeSantis!! What a strong guy! I love him!!
Lincoln shuttered printing press, locked up congressional members and used the Army to lock down descent. Then allowed 600k to die forever ending the question of succession.
Soon the same tyranny will be upon us.
And FDR stuck Japanese-American citizens into camps, let their homes and businesses be stolen from them then allowed German POWs to work on farms and go to town to see movies and attend dances. We don’t need to look back all that far to see the footprints of prior times the boot was on the necks of US citizens.
WHat you are really seeing imo is the RESULT of that war playing out about States Rights not slavery. Those that dig know the slavery issue was used, it is a red herring as to the root. This was about the rights of States not to comply with illegal Federal rules and demands.
Lincoln did much that hurt this country in that war, and in a sense brought us to this point. BLM (bureau of land management) is a direct result of Lincolns actions. Allowing Nevada into the Union bypassing the NW territories act (outlines how new states could join the union). Lincoln did not follow them. Go look at a map of BLM land. Look at the Constitution and see what land can be purchased and used for the US govt in States.. Bundy was a direct result of this, Bundy brought it forward, or tried.
Notice all the BLM land is almost ALL west of the Mississippi. Notice Nevada is almost all RED except for two small towns. WHY did Lincoln do this.
MONEY/Silver he needed the silver mines to pay for the war. Nevada did not qualify to enter and was done so illegally. It was also illegal for Lincoln to cut the deal for the govt. to own the land/silver.
Just google BLM land ownership (MAP). All these lands they claim the US govt own are fraudulent. They took them for the mineral rights etc. Look at where BLM owns the land in California and all the other states. It is in your face. Post office, office buildings. armed forces locations that is it all the govt can own in States.
Lincoln forever changed all that. Not to mention the deals he cut with the bankers etc.
Real history is a bitch
Sic semper tyrannis.
I’ve ALWAYS said Lincoln was the worst president as of the time he served; and, probably the worst up until the Obama regime. His pseudo greatness was created by TPTB and their lapdog media just like they did with Obama.
Slavery would have lasted another half century, if that, before dying a natural death as a result of the development of mechanical farm equipment including cotton pickers that would have taken the place of 50 slaves. Work on those machines was curtailed by many years as a result of the south’s economy being wiped out by Lincoln’s war.
Most of the black vs white problems we are still having more than a 150 years later are the direct result of Lincoln’s war.
Fu*k Lincoln!
This is pretty silly. Machines would not have abolished slavery; the problem was doing it in the first place. Now the communists have used it to stoke racial tension.
Re “This is pretty silly. Machines would not have abolished slavery”
And, the automobile could not have abolished the horse and wagon…
Seriously, even after the advent of mechanical cotton pickers, I’m sure slavery would have continued; but, on a much smaller scale. After all, horses and wagons do still exist years after the Model A was built.
However, mechanical cotton pickers were already being built and experimented with at the time of Lincoln’s War; and, but for that war which devastated the south’s economy, such machines would have been used in cotton fields within forty – fifty years after the war. The first cotton machine that WAS actually used could pick as much cotton in a day as fifty slaves.
So, such machines would have eliminated the need for 49 out of every 50 slaves previously required to operate a plantation. Over time, other advancements in mechanical farm implements would have effectively done away with slavery as an institution.
None of those are analogues for what is currently happening. What is occurring right now is more on par with Venezuela’s takeover and far more dangerous to democracy.
I’m glad there are some others who know the truth bout Lincoln…
Just a random thought about separating Wall Street from Main Street.
What would happen if we all cashed out of our 401k’s and IRA’s and invested it all in local businesses?
What if we all quit buying products at the big box stores and only bought from local grocers, hardware stores, etc?
Would that be enough to collapse all those precious Wall Street MBA twits dreams?
I don’t know……any thoughts?
Unfortunately for us, the stock market is only a small part of Wall Street banking.
Derivatives, currency trading, commodity trading . . . soon climate change credits.
That’s where the big banker money is.
Remember the sub prime mortgage crisis?
Completely due to wall street banks.
Whenever you get a mortgage, your local bank sells that mortgage to a Wall Street bank, and the Wall street bank puts it in a giant pool with other mortgages — and then shares of these pools are traded up or down as the mortgage payments from you and the others in the pool come in every month.
Derivatives trading are contracts where the bank makes insurance type bets on all kinds of variables, such as the weather for wheat growing or the value of the Yuan.
This is big globalist money, and it is mostly separate from the nationalist stock exchange.
There are big global corporations on the stock exchange, and they have a global perspective, not a USA First perspective — and they are certainly part of the problem.
But if you join a wall street bank as a new hire out of college and are assigned to the NYSE stock trading department — well, that’s where the least promising hires go.
So . . . ending wall street is probably impossible and probably undesirable, too. Much now depends on this globalist trading, including the Big Ag market that unfortunately feeds us.
We now need these giant crops on giant corporate owned farms to feed us. Local farms can only do so much, and are being overtaken.
The problem is . . . this global money has grown so huge and powerful that . . . the result is tyranny.
It’s the biggest investors in this system (Soros, Gates, Saudi princes, Rockefeller family, Queen Elizabeth of Britain, and so on) who exert massive control.
This is why they seem not to care if a big airline is hurt or a big global media company loses viewers. This isn’t where the big money is.
The next big thing after vaccinating the world and tracking everyone is trading climate change credits, which will restrict every unit of energy that you can use.
That’s why there is a remote reader on your electric and gas meters now. The electronic infrastructure for the control and restriction and carbon credit of every household in America is already in place.
So . . . the global power is massive.
That said, the main street businesses are massive, too, when added together.
And the funds owned by Middle America — when added all together — is massive.
So, we have economic power.
Shifting deposits to local banks and buying local – if everyone were to do this – would certainly help.
I now think of every purchase as a vote for freedom or tyranny.
I believe we can win because nationalist billionaires such as Trump see the problem much better than I can see it. And they believe the fight is worth it and can lead to our victory — or at least a place for us where we can breathe.
Exactly ?
Thanks Pascale20
Dan Celia has a similar view as you have just explained.
Simple answer? I used to say this on another comment board before the whole place went LEFTTTT:
No business, no trading on the NYSE unless 75% U.S. owned and run. NO excuses.
It’ll be RESISTED- but, to Hell with them. It’s the way to sew it up for US, again.
Bugsdaddy making macro micro i like it . i go out of my way to support business that support patriots and try to shop local
Re: Would that be enough to collapse all those precious Wall Street MBA twits dreams?
Yes, it would!
If Biden’s new communist (yes, LITERAL communist) nominee for Comptroller has her way, you will have no choice. A digital currency, no private banking system, and an all-powerful central bank that could take money from you whenever it wanted.
The RNC called me a few months ago asking for money. I told them ‘from now on I only donate to President Trump’. I’ve not heard from them since.
Who funds DeSantis?
It is time for a 3rd party.
Friends- before the Great Split in 1861- there were MANY parties. Even after the reconciliation- there were STILL several- and the Whigs lasted for a while on, til the Demoncrats bought out what they could, bringing them into the fold- the rest faded away: some into Republicans, many into independents and MANY became the lasting members of the (then) Libertarian party.
I love DeSantis. My best friend lives in Florida and I warned him of 2016- that, if >I< lived there, the LAST thing I would want is to lose him to D.C.- an anthill of cannibals that only works to serve their queen and devour everything else, including themselves, if needed. Destroyers, usurpers.
It is TIME for a REAL third party. The America for America party. Screw the UN- get them out of the U.S. (rent the real estate in NY to pay for THEIR debts) and get the U.S. OUT of them. They will fold like a cheap Chinese suit without us- wrinkled, full of holes. The world will improve!!!
T.A.F.A.- MAGA. Donald will not live forever and his admin proved (outside of Grennell- a WINNER choice) that he needs help with inside decisions, anyways (think of his SCOTUS picks, his AG, his CoS- bad choices, though I LOVED his Presidency and he LOVES America and FIGHTS)
Screw the RNC, the GOP, the DNC, the Democrats- no donkeys, no elephants-
An EAGLE for this party. It will start grassroots and local- it will GROW. Like it should be. Free.
<3 to you all, God bless the United States of America, the GREATEST dream of a nation the world has EVER known.
DeSantis-Trump ticket.
DeSantis would be impeachment proof.
As you know I have been planning my move out of Oregon, and now I am one of those that DeSantis is talking about.
My house closed on the 28th and recorded on the 29th. After the movers pulled out on the 28th and I had given away everything I was not taking I pulled out.
Swore I would at least make it out of the west coast blue states my first leg. Boy did I leave a storm behind me. Driving over the pass into Kellogg , Idaho was really something. It was pouring buckets, with me hydroplaning a few times feeling like ocean waves had hit my windshield several times. Started praying & told the Lord that the first exit that said there was lodging I was pulling off. Pulled up to this really beautiful hotel, and thought that I was really going to eat it. Not so, it was was inexpensive and a very nice place.
Currently I am in a very nice, large and inexpensive one bedroom Airbnb apartment in Piedmont typing on my laptop awaiting the closing my my new townhouse in Rapid Valley area of Rapid City. Pictures are some of the wild life I see every day.
Even though there were times that the five month road was really rough with this escrow being my 8th due to inspections that found flaws that should have been disclosed, I feel so very very blessed to be out of Oregon. Its a beautiful town house with essentially nothing wrong with it. (will maybe show some pictures later.)
If you look on FB you will find many groups of people leaving blue states and moving to red states that will not curtail their freedoms.
Seems that the FB group “Leaving California” is the largest and oldest with great people helping out each with much support and helpful suggestions. Some of the stories in the “Leaving California” group as so sad, for many that are leaving the state have family histories that go back several generations! However they know it is best for their family! They know they need to protect their family, especially their children and future family generations to come!!!!
Outside my current South Dakota residence, an awesome Airbnb in Piedmont South Dakota
THE LORD IS AN AWESOME LORD HE IS!!!
“OUR GOD IS AND AWESOME GOD!”
My different branches of my family are selling everything and moving also.
The Californians and those from Maine.
Idaho and Texas are the target landing zones
Blessings on your move and new home State.
Thank you…
like I said it is really sad to hear the stories of some who had generations of family from decades that had lived in California. Some actually sold farms & ranches that had been in the family for generations…
Pray all goes well with your family members.. Just know the roads ahead for them will be very blessed.
LOVE it- good for you!
Maybe SD isn’t a bad spot and God is telling you so…
WOOT! It was so great to flee to ID 7 years ago. No regerts 😉
$$work sucks but bought low.
Congrats. ?
What a load off.
From my home of OR, born in Roseburg, lived in Lake Oswego, Newberg! The People’s Republic of Portland, and Milwaukie 😉
May you Idaho roads be blessed for many years to come for you and yours
South Dakota is such a beautiful state.
It was always my favorite State to drive/camp thru on drives from West Coast to East Coast.
Speaking as someone who left the Seattle area, you are not gonna believe how truly wonderful it feels Every. Single. Day. to get away from PNW insanity.
But! You may miss the weather sometimes! Great climate out there on the West Coast.
Enjoy your new home!
Thank You
I actually do believe that I found the twin city weather-wise to where I lived for the last 16 years in NE Oregon.
Umatilla gets more triples in the summer, but does not get the Black Hills hail so many talk about.
The two areas San Dakotans will talk about snow and wind, are very similar to NE Oregon & SE Washington. In fact lately its been colder where I came from by 10 to 20 degrees then here.
You will need to change your moniker to kinthemidwest
DeSantis needs much more time to learn and grow. There is no way at this point that he could compete with Donald Trump . He’s doing a fine job where he’s at now.
Give him time. Coming up with National policies will be something he has to wait for until he decides whether to run for National office. Donald Trump had no problems because he was never in charge of policy making at a State level. DeSantis is trying to do the best he can for Florida and, as their Governor, that is exactly what he should be doing. For now, he is doing his best to see to it the Federal machinery does not tread on his State.
I am not saying Trump would not be a better candidate than DeSantis. I am just saying DeSantis should be given a little berth on this subject right now.
Would have no problem if Trump let the much younger DeSantis took up the reigns but he unequivocally has to support the America First agenda and resoundingly denounce the globalists.
Free states vs. Slave states … history is starting to rhyme.
Sadly I do feel that America is about to repeat history. Probably a combination of 1860s America & 1930/40s Germany.
Hang on guys, especially hang onto and support the good people & leaders out there who are often putting their very lives on the line to keep America the land of the free.
Great song that says so much for we are Blessed to have so many willing to still stand up to all that is happening, including the many Treepers on here.
BEAU DAVIDSON – “BLESSED”
Freedom.

People are moving to states where they can find work and eat without taking the jab. If OSHA succeeds in mandating vaccinations for companies with less than 100 employees, the real estate market in the so-called “free” states will take a hit. No reason to leave states like California or Colorado if survival comes down to scavenging food from trash dumpsters behind Burger King.
The Mandate will be challenged and probably go straight to the SC. The mandate on its face and the regulations to do such a thing do not exist. It has to be an emergency. Is there an emergency. Emergency yet there are plenty of people that will not have the mandate with an exemption. Emergency when you move the date from Nov to January, that is a sure sign of an emergency.
If the SC rules it is legal. The rule of law will be known to all it is gone. There will be no recourse any more.
That is when it gets real, either you submit or you “fight” in your own way. No other choice.
Biden is claiming this mandate is due to an emergency. On its face that is complete nonsense. Why there is a now a pill phizermectin, that also they (pfizer) say is the winner winner chicken dinner on survival.
They are going for all the marbles, they will not stop, they will not submit, they will do whatever it takes to make you comply or die.
That is the reality as far as I see it.
I’ve got your 6, ST. And 200,000,000+ with me, easy.
It’s good for the nation that other States can see how DeSantis is showing them the way of extreme federalism – States rights matter.
Sometimes it seems this refocusing on State’s rights, and individual rights is what our Country needs to go through, making the federal government the smaller focal point of how our Country works – all mini-steps towards repealing the 17th Amendment, put the selection of Senators back into the hands of the various State legislatures to put balance back into our constitutional structure.
DeSantis is leading the way for this, it’s nice to see other Governors starting to take stands in this direction too.
My son now lives in Florida and he is thrilled with DeSantis. Doesn’t have to deal with masks, vaccine mandates, he’s living a normal life again. That’s why the Dems know it is pointless to waste money running against DeSantis. Meanwhile I’m stuck in Hawaii with the most stringent covid restrictions in the country (and the most stupid Governor in the country).
Hirono is a doozie, too :/
Love those Honolulu City Lights, though. Aloha, braddah- Shaka
This only matters if voting integrity is enforced in those states. Look at what happened in New Jersey.
Thanks for grounding us. Mucho appreciated.
After 40 years voting R I know better than to get too excited about any R politician. Remember, the Congressional R’s destroyed the Trump admin before it even got started. R’s are my mortal enemies. The coming ‘wave’ election will inject more R’s into the body politic.
Trump should have started a new Party.
Let’s get one thing straight. No career politician can be MAGA, except as a follower. MAGA comes from people like Trump and Perot. To be a MAGA leader it has to be borne from your sinews. You have to feel in in your bones.
No disrespect to DeSantis but he can never be a MAGA leader.
The MAGA movement will go dormant after Trump is gone.
DeSantis is MAGA without the local manufacturing economics.
MAGA will never die. Deplorables will always be deplorable.
Trump will die- we ALL do. MAGA will continue.
DeSantis is great. But he doesn’t have the decades of private enterprise experience that Trump has. No possible way! But he’s smart and he can learn if Trump is his mentor. I hope they work together and not become adversaries. Pray that it would be so!
My next Governor is a Treeper! Governor D., keep shining that sunlight on the swamp.
That is fantastic that the Dems aren’t even gonna try.
Could persuade a few more Dem voters to just leave the State.
A very solid performance. He’s not breathing fire yet–but he’s trying.
I’m not worried that he hasn’t “confronted Globalism”.
The guy does something great for Florida every day it seems.
I do not expect one person to tackle every important issue at once.
The Chinese have a great saying “man man lai” >> slowly slowly forward.
I guess “one step at a time” in English.
Or even- one state. One county. One city, one town- one neighborhood.

Re: “However, there is no indication -yet- that he would be willing or able to confront the issue of toxic globalism on a national scale with strength to advance the issues of economic nationalism that underpin the biggest freedom issue for Making America Great Again. On the big picture issue of Wall Street -vs- Main Street, the direct confrontation of multinational corporations to support the American middle-class, DeSantis has yet to take a public position.”
Well, I dunno about that…
How much can he actually do, as a state governor, that he has not already done? Sure, he could talk about it; but, talk is cheap. Actions, on the other hand, and as the old saying goes, speak louder than words.
Besides, it’s not as if none of his actions have had national implications and repercussions. For, example, opening up Florida’s ports to cargo ships from foreign countries in order to help ALL of America is a pretty big f’ing deal and has very positive repercussions far beyond America’s shores. And, if he wins his case filed in Atlanta, won’t that have implications beyond the state of Florida?
He’s also offering signup bonuses to law enforcement personnel accepting jobs in Florida; which, helps his state as well as those new people from outside the state.
So, at least indirectly, his actions speak volumes as to what he would do as president. It seems to me that DeSantis is much like President Trump in that he wants to help as many people as possible, period; and, if he’s put in a position to help people nationwide, he would do so.
Globalism is not something that affects only one state; and, pretty much everything the commies in control do wrapped in globalism. So, in my opinion, any time someone does anything anywhere to combat globalism, that has a positive effect on the overall battle against it.
He could pass a state law giving economic benefits or tax credits to Florida companies or Made In America. He could possibly even pass local tariff laws.
Best I can tell, DeSantis will need to get his Legislature to pass any new laws. I could be wrong. I don’t live in Florida, nor do I ever want to. But I think that every State Constitution makes the Legislative Branch the author of the laws.
Re: He could pass a state law…
No, he cannot. He’s the governor, not the king of Florida. Governors cannot pass laws anymore than presidents can.
