On Sunday evening the New York Post reported, “An unforeseen tragedy forced Governor DeSantis to reschedule his trip to New York,” Zeldin spokeswoman Katie Vincentz said, declining to elaborate. “While we’re rescheduling with Governor DeSantis for a later date, tonight’s fundraiser will proceed and is expected to raise almost a million dollars.” (link)
Monday afternoon the New York Post identified the “unforeseen tragedy“:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis backed out of a fundraiser for New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin to attend a Monday memorial service for a member of his security detail who died in the line of duty, sources told The Post.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement Special Agent Jose Perez was responding to a call in an unmarked cruiser on Aug. 2 when he was struck by Javier Sandoval, 35, in Miami. Perez was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries and died on Aug. 20. […] While unable to attend the evening event, DeSantis was in Deal, New Jersey, earlier in the day at the home of Jay Cayre, head of Midtown Equities, sources told The Post. (link)
Despite Officer Perez passing away eight days earlier, apparently, Governor DeSantis was unaware of the Monday funeral plans when he flew the governor’s jet to New Jersey to meet with billionaire real estate mogul Joseph ‘Jay’ Cayre on Sunday, forcing him to cancel the Zeldin fundraiser a few hours later in New York, or so the story is told.
However, the background looks really bad. Billionaire Joseph Cayre of Midtown Equities just gave New York Governor Kathy Hochul “more than” $400,000 for her campaign against Lee Zeldin, right before DeSantis showed up. [LINK]
Ron DeSantis flies to New Jersey/ New York on Sunday, meets with billionaire developer Joseph Cyre, who just donated $400k+ to Democrat candidate Kathy Hochul. Immediately following the meeting, DeSantis cancels the fundraiser with Hochul’s opponent, Republican Lee Zeldin, and returns to Florida. Apply Occam’s Razor here.
The funeral was announced the 26th [CITATION]. Governor DeSantis knew the date/time for the funeral (29th) before he got on the plane (28th).
So, what changed? Horrible unforeseen circumstances, or a request from a Big Club donor? The timing and circumstances look terrible.
The team behind DeSantis has promised to reschedule with Zeldin.
Also, in positive Florida news:
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced a leading investment in clean energy for Florida today with a $68 million award for 227 electric transit buses, and an unknown secondary distribution from the Dept of Environmental Protection for 218 electric school buses. [Details Here]
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Today, Governor Ron DeSantis celebrated another step in the state’s efforts to modernize public transit and reduce air pollutants caused by diesel emissions. Through the Volkswagen settlement, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is awarding more than $68 million that will secure 227 electric transit buses in 13 counties statewide that will replace existing diesel transit buses in Alachua, Broward, Duval, Escambia, Hillsborough, Leon, Marion, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Orange, Palm Beach, Pasco, and Pinellas counties.
“This funding will help lower emissions while also bringing our transit bus fleets to more modern standards,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “This is a win-win for air quality and advancing the state’s efforts to bolster growing electric vehicle usage.”
In addition to today’s announced electric transit bus grant awards, DEP has also awarded grants to seven school districts to purchase a total of 218 electric school buses in Broward, Manatee, Miami-Dade, Orange, Palm Beach, Pinellas, and Sarasota counties. Introducing electric buses is an important and effective way to reduce harmful emissions, especially in highly populated areas where mobile sources are the largest sources of air pollution. As more and more electric vehicles are deployed, emissions of air pollutants will be reduced, which will continue to improve Florida’s air quality. (read more)
I just checked…
Approximate flight time for a private jet departing Newark NJ / Arriving Tallahassee FL is 2hrs 30 min.
FWIW
I saw the story about his meeting in Deal, NJ, but it was very quickly extremely hard to find in a search. I kept searching, but all mentions of his meeting were gone. But, like you, I looked up how long a flight it was – 2.5 hours. There was no reason for DeSantis to cancel a Sunday evening event when the memorial service was not until 10:00 Monday. In fact, there was some speculation about what the tragedy actually was.
The incident happened early august and he passed away august 20. There was no sudden need to cancel other than his money guy said don’t go.
Dan Bongino filled in for DeSantis at Lee Zeldin’s fundraiser.
So money was paid for Bongino to attend?
More curious cat.
Bongino is not on our side.
That’s the sad truth.
Curious cat….
Not surprising. Dan is alot like Trey Gowdy. All hat, lots of hat but no cattle…
He was also dumb enough to get injected but now regrets it. Really?
Bongino? Lol. The test for who is Real and who is fake MAGA is who the Bolsheviks send the FBI to raid/arrest you.
The commies are adept at knowing who the wusses are.
Broad brush comment. It’s not matter of being dumb or not. Many intelligent anti-Covid vaxers were jabbed. For myself, I was extremely reluctant but due to the co-morbities of members of the household back then in the early days of Covid I was vaxed.
Oh Oh…
Yikes! That’s a bad look.
The oligarch candidate management team always finds a way to make its presence obvious. Most frequently by stepping on their…
No kidding…
Ron DeSantis flies to New Jersey/ New York on Sunday, meets with billionaire developer Joseph Cyre, who just donated $400k+ to Democrat candidate Kathy Hochul. Immediately following the meeting, DeSantis cancels the fundraiser with Hochul’s opponent, Republican Lee Zeldin, and returns to Florida.
I think “Yikes!” might be in order here… and maybe a “Zoinks!”… and throw in a “Wowie Zowie!” while you’re at it…
“I would’ve gotten away with it too if weren’t for you bunch of ragtag misfits!”
I was thinking more along the lines of ‘Ker Plunk!” <smiles>
Or maybe…
… right in Zeldin’s kisser…
I’m constantly surprised by the faux conservatives that continue stepping on their…
Clearly they’re not as smart as they think they are because they’re doing it in public believing that we don’t see it.
Yikes! I guess I don’t know how else to respond to the lone person sitting in their car blithely picking their noses thinking that they’re invisible to everyone.
I wish that DeSantis wasn’t one of them but wishin’ don’t make it true. 😔
The other day on Bonginos podcast he was speaking of student debt loan and he mentioned his daughter is in college, he has enough money doesn’t need the government to pay for his daughter’s loan. Made sure he said he had lots of money. Humble much!! He has changed since Fox news and other $$$$.
Bongino knows he’s blessed & that everyone else doesn’t enjoy the same blessing.
The flip side is that he won’t be needing or taking the payoff. There are many “conservatives” that will but not as many will admit it.
Wow, I remember when his kids were little. I also remember the very first public speaking event he did to run for Congress in MD. Let’s just say he had done an amazing transformation of humble stoic SS guy to public figure.
Years ago an old timer told me that politicians were like whores. I said what do you mean? The people with the money and the politicians both knew they were going to do it, they were just haggling over the price.
Politicians are like diapers.
Need to be changed often, and for the same reason.
Highly reccomend reading TGP article on Michigan MAGA fight with GOPe, it is insightful on the nature of the battle going on in many States, “for the soul if the Republican party.
You’ll see a name you recognise,,Betsy Davos and read how she/her family pay for the headquarters (rent) for the State GOP.
Hence, she has INFLUENCE,…
Remember the girl found raped/murdered in a cornfield.
Remember how her attacker was an illegal alien?
Remember WHO he worked for?
Company owned by a State Republican party Chair, or Executive board member.
Do we REALLY think HE,, was enthusiastic about DJT, and controlling our Southern border?
We are NOT “a 50/50+ nation, with slightly more voting D.
We are a 60+/40- nation, and MAGA army FAR bigger than these elites that control State R parties, and are working together with Dems, and “big party donors” to preserve their status, priviledge and patronage, and use their influence to keep us under their thumb.
Get off the bench, and IN the game!
Yes, and Dems and elite Republicans are shaking in their shoes. We are being called Fascists, Extremists, and dangerous. Biden is on a “Soul of America” tour coming against MAGA Republicans while invoking the names of our founding fathers.
Dems are trying to create their own MAGA look. 😂🤣. Satan only knows how to copy and plagiarize. He has no original ideas.
Curious cat laughing out loud rolling on the ground.
Teterboro or other airport possibly
Which one did the Sopranos work at?
Anyone still attributing MAGA chops to the FAUX conservative FL Gov after today is wearing blinders
Not a much cleaner picture of Ronney boy bowing to his new handlers. Anyone that still says anything along the lines of DeSantis being the best alternative to PDT has their head up their azz
I totally agree. WTH is going on with DESantis. His spending money for all those EV’s are ludicrous. Thank goodness he doesn’t come from COAL COUNTRY. 🙁
Dee, there were other choices he could have made besides electric buses for which Florida does not currently have the infrastructure to support.
Not defending Ron, the $ was from a settlement from a suit against VW.
They rigged their cars, to cheat on emissions inspections.
It MAY be that there were some limitations on how the $ could be spent.
But yeah, how about a thorough housecleaning on the Political machines in Broward county, not just Brenda Sikes, that have been rigging elections for YEARS?
How about cleaning up the voter roles, which are as clogged up with ghost voters as EVERY OTHER STATE.
How about making Ivermectine and HCQ OTC.
How about being a MAGA Governor, instead if a “conservative” Governor.
Being MAGA is about MORE than ‘beating up’ the press, and taking on Disney.
And yes, those who argued “DeSantis is an ALTERNATIVE to PDJT must be feeling pretty low, unless they work for the DeSantis campaign.
Put your faith not in men.
And, don’t “like,” politicians; “like” the policies. IF a politician advocates passionately for, and works hard to promote those policies, give them your support, but ONLY as long as they continue.
POLICIES you can like.
POLITICIANS you don’t LIKE, you just support.
Keep emotion out of it.
As in a streetfight or any life and death struggle, emotions get you KILLED.
DeSantis seems to make a habit out of punching below his weight, i.e., at easy-to-hit political targets, be they people or politics.
Not an encouraging pattern, but one increasingly consistent with his emergent political character.
Terrific Post!
Emotions as we all know EGO based..unchecked EGO see Cruz, P44 etc is an extremely dangerous thing.
Cheers!
“And, don’t “like,” politicians; “like” the policies. IF a politician advocates passionately for, and works hard to promote those policies, give them your support, but ONLY as long as they continue.”
THIS!
I always go to the Word of God when trying to figure things out. The answer to your question… The love of money is the root of all evil.
$300k a bus – batteries included, no matches needed….
Yep, but you need coal country to vote for you. And it’s not just WV and KY which we assume will be red regardless. You need to win VA or PA and keep NC and the red voters are in coal country.
Don’t forget about OH.
Orm, 99.9999%
Yeah, and it saddens me to have to agree. He’s not even Trump light, let alone an alternative to the great MAGA King. Stay in Florida, Ron. We no longer trust you with the country if you’re already selling out your side of the fence for the likes of Kathy Hochul. And, was it Zeldin who was attacked (thankfully unsuccessfully) when he was speaking outside to a group of firemen? cops? Something.
Nice play all around, Ron. Sigh… I think the “lawyer” is showing instead of the stalwart defender of the people.
Kathy Hochul was installed by people who are connected to Jp Morgan… (the banking cabal) as in a former Chairman of the bank.
Reading Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler by Sutton – JP Morgan, German investment bankers raising bond money in US, Rockefeller Std Oil, Fed Governors, Chase Manhattan, Edsel Ford & GE were on Board of IG Farben & GE Germany till early 1940s, funding Hitler since the brownshirts. No American Board members were tried in Nuremberg. But they were making Zyklon B gas, gave Germans technology for synthetic rubber, tetra-ethyl lead processes for airplane fuel.
Just like JPMorgan, BlackRock, Vanguard Clintons, Bushes – giving China ICBM missile guidance from Loral, exporting manufacturing to China, funding China with Wall Street money, Hunter Biden & Prescott Bush ‘investment bankers’ in China, US Govt 401k money, etc….. Time for next Gen of Elites to cash in.
more people are realizing that Roosevelt was a traitor to the nation by handing the American federal government over to Soviet spies and domestic Communists.
Always remember, Germans tried to stop the people who are in control of the American government now
oh, and Zyklon B used to be used to delouse Mexican migrant workers. Funny how none of them ever died from that.
People are either ignorant of the facts you mentioned or have been undereducated.
It’s time to remember who’s in charge, and it ain’t pretty!
No wonder President Trump was stymied at every turn. And, that he accomplished so much is still amazing.
PDJT,ONE man against our enemies, guided by GOD.
How cool as that.
A shame more people Don’t realize that.
It is sad. i picture the conversation as “Back off Ron, I paid good money for this governor, and if you want some, don’t hurt my investment”.
I got a text from DeSantis yesterday—something I don’t ever remember happening before now. I smiled to myself as I deleted it. Ronnie we hardly knew ya. Be careful who you listen to when playing monopoly and don’t stay too long at the fair.
I started getting the fundraiser emails and texts from Ron just a couple of days after the Mar-A-Lago raid.
It was kinda glaring…
Me too.
“This funding will help lower emissions while also bringing our transit bus fleets to more modern standards,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “This is a win-win for air quality and advancing the state’s efforts to bolster growing electric vehicle usage.”
My, my. I can’t wait to see how they put that round peg in a square hole.
Me freakin TOO!!!!!!
Especially when those $$$ busses start going up in flames as their lithium batteries incinerate.
A bus full of ‘Undeserved’ migrants on their way to their first day of College, trying to turn to turn their lives around, catching fire won’t be a good look for Dupe-Santis.
Exactly, and he’s ordered the firecatching vehicles for SCHOOL BUSES!
Makes no sense. Where was that image of bus catching fire from? Remember, it was this year, a video of a burning electric bus..
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2022/07/26/connecticut-transit-replaces-electric-bus-fleet-with-diesels-following-massive-battery-fire/
I don’t think it’s that rare. I feel like I see several from South America every year. Then there’s the parking garages that won’t let you park and EV.
Aren t those batteries made in CHY-nah??? Sounds like an agenda to me.
I’ve been hearing a lot about hydrogen powered vehicles lately. Worked well for the Hindenburg, didn’t it?
We are being lead by the lowest IQ people ever to infest politics. They listen to the last lobbyist as they are handed a check for their votes.
^^^^This!!!^^^^
In searching for that photo, I came across several instances of this happening.

One way or another they are going to kill us.
next thing we know he will be mandating closing any coal-fired electric plants and signing leases for offshore wind farms
Most of the coal fired plants have been de comissioned at this point. We rely on natural gas and nuclear. There are some smaller plants that burn waste from the tree companies that use steam turbines to generate electricity. Solar panels get too hot to run efficiently.

You’d think those sea breezes would dissipate those diesel fumes. S/
DeSantis is a kitten standing inside a circle of hyenas. And that is just the GOP.
Nice visual. Yes. He needs to take a breath to figure out who he is, otherwise, he’ll be defined by what he is doing now. He might never be able to come back.
Maybe he still reads this site.. what are you doing Ron? Stop and think!
It’s too late in my book.
Being a ginger cat softy, a few years ago I was given this pic on a key fob at the beginning of a hard assignment. The added tag says, “What matters most… is how you see yourself”. True!
Yeah… but sometimes we think too much of ourselves.
Too easy to misinterpret that as ‘others think too much of themselves’. I reckon the huge majority are pretty humble. Sometimes too much so. Without confidence we won’t win this jig, anywhere.
Hey Catturd… how’s it feel?🤣🤣🤣
I KNOW you’re watching.
Only peeking.
Peek-a-booooo!
He certainly owes Sundance an apology for the unnecessary nasty name calling.
He calls himself “turd”…
No one said DeSantis wasn’t a good governor. But Sundance is correct that he’s not fit for the Presidency.
Catturd slandered Sundance by twisting his words and with a filthy mouth to boot.
I hope Catturd won’t be able to get rid of the disgusting dog crap smell all over his face from all the 💩 he buried his noise in while kissing DeSantis’ butt.
No one said DeSantis wasn’t a good governor. But Sundance is correct that he’s not fit for the Presidency.
Peter Principle.
LOL. Sundance is just trying to
mentally prepare those with blinders/
DeSantis will be beholden to his donors,
GOPe + DNC aka the UniParty.
Better to bite the bullet now/ he
is not in the same ballpark as PDJT.
Crist is an absolute train wreck for FL…not sure if he loses in 2022 however as the Golden Boy there decided to do very little to actually ensure election integrity…..NO 2020 audit……Dominion machines are still in use…….I mean the crack-addicted prostitute servicing Gillum BARELY lost by 20k last time
Spot on.
I suspect Crist is not intended to win, with his opening statement of “don’t vote for me, if your maga fascists” or whatever he said.
He is UNIPARTY, and his role is to insure DeSantis, the Splitter candidate, wins.
Remember, everywhere that MAGA Candidates won the primaries, Republicans are working to insure Dems win in November.
“These MAGA Candidates winning is a DISASTER!
WE must make sure the DEMS win in November!”
said a REPUBLICAN (since censured by the party) Board of Supervisors member.
Point being, if they are tryingvto help Dems beat MAGA, the Dems will help get DeSantis reelected, by having crist run a campaign to insure Desantis wins in November.
UNIparty=ONE Party, with two complimentary wings, that work in a coordinated fashion, to kerp the bird flying.
“I suspect Crist is not intended to win.”
Spot on! Crist is pulling a Bernie Sanders (now there is a quickly forgotten name from the past) who bowed out graciously for $$$ twice (Clinton and Biden). He has gotten quite wealthy the past two presidential elections. I am sure that Crist is being compensated well.
Yeah… this really does explain Sanders, too, doesn’t it. Once you get past the initial skepticism that anything like a Uniparty could exist, especially with both sides seemingly at each other’s throats, it all starts to make sense.
DeSantis really messed the bed by roughing up the couple of felons he had arrested (low hanging fruit) on technicalities for voting in the Primary. Florida almost has more convicted felons than any other State. Now that they are allowed to vote if fines an restitution are paid, they will be coming out of the woodwork to vote against him just for that. Add all the stealth Commiefornians, Non-Americans from Abbott With Love and Resident Libpukes , The Burnt Sienna Bootlicker will likely eek out the win against DeSantis (With a little help from the Machines and the ballot drop boxes in Alachua and Seminole) who will lose gracefully, to begin full Campaign mode for ’24.
Yeah but he’ll be out early as it would prove he can’t carry FL.
I think it will be a photo finish, with Governor Donations losing by a whisker to the BSB!.. The Republican’t ‘Stablishment has been taking notes on how much money came in to President Trump after it was felt(known) he was cheated out of a Victory when he had all the momentum. They are trying to pull a mulligan with Replicant Ron.
And Trump pulled DeSantis to victory.
No he’s not, Marygrace.
More like standing on an on ramp with his thumb out.
He pulled up his trousers to show a little leg as well..
Sundance has also been edumacating; HOW to identify a GOPe product being ‘rolled out’; if you know the signs to look for, they are easy to spot, and “We won’t be foooooolled,
AGAIIIIIN!”.
If you don’t look NOW, its only after they are IN that you realise, and THATS TOO LATE.
WATCH for the SIGNS, cause they will continue to pour buckets of $, on one after another if fake Trump candidates, to try to split us.
As it is, DeSantis ran unopposed in his primary, cause he had the MAGA Governor image.
So, we MISSED a chance to install a REAL MAGA Governor, so right now we have -0- out of 50.
WE have LOTS of work to do, as extreme Federalism requires a MAGA State Government, to sue to push back on Federal govt.
DeSantis ran unopposed in his primary because the Club would never allow anyone to primary anyone else in the Club. Works that way in NY as well.
The “Republican’t Club” sabotaged Anthony Sabitini, who was “whole hog Save America” but made sure Laurel “Zuckerborg Bucks/Dirty Voter Rolls” Lee, disgraced Supervisor of Elections, was given the nomination for Florida’s 15th Congressional district.
https://votelaurel.com/laurel-lee-wins-republican-primary-for-florida-congressional-district-15/
The issue as I see it is that many of these rinos are in different
states and we don’t see the news on them. Sundance very kindly
provides the research ‘skinny” so we can make informed
decisions.
Up until Sundance’s research, all I was reading was how
wonderful DeSantis is, usually from so called conservative
sites.
Truth.
Yep. I know that if I head on over to GETTR, WarRoom, and TGP I will read/hear a slobbering love fest over RDS.
So when did DeSantis piss in Sundance’s corn flakes? The insane DeSantis bashing is over the top and totally uncalled for! Sundance needs to address his debilitating obsession with ‘outing’ DeSantis, or just catch that next EV bus to crazy town…. Y’all crazy!
Do you work with James?
Catturd is WRONG on Sundance.
I’m sure Catturd comes to the Tree House to frolick in the leaves though! It shouldn’t take much more to convince the turd Sundance was right, unless Catturd is a GOPe.
I sincerely hope you are correct, and that the evidence starts speaking for itself to her.
We need to be prepared for highly emotional reactions to Sundance’s facts.
Many of the people in this new right are young and passionate and also have been brought up without manners (sigh). But we need them to become more aware of the UniParty tricks.
I am willing to be patient with them because they recognize a great deal of the danger we’re in. And the enemy is changing tactics to suborn one who seemed so good to us because of walking the walk, not just talking the talk.
Or… seemingly… We need to take careful note of changes in Ron’s walk so that we can be aware of, and when necessary, present the evidence of sundance’s information.
Ballyhooing electric school buses is far from AmericaFirst behavior. Compare that with the action of firing the Soros AG, which was done before this course change started.
If he keeps telegraphing a change of course in this foolish way – the Truth Will Out.
1 out of at least 4 Soros DA’s.. Laughable.
Well, well. Did not know that angle…
They are in Duval, Orange/Osceola and in South Florida as well.
Information about the funeral service for FDLE Special Agent Jose Perez
https://www.fdle.state.fl.us/News/2022/August/Information-about-the-funeral-service-for-FDLE-Spe
From the link…
For Immediate Release
August 26, 2022
MIAMI – Special Agent Jose Perez’s funeral mass will be held at St. Kevin Catholic Church (12525 SW 42nd Street, Miami) on Monday, August 29, at 10:30am.
Right so he knew the plans days before. It always seemed quite strange to back out the day of. It’s not like he has to catch a united flight. The guy has his own plane. All bs
Which begs the question: “What else did he know about, ‘days’ in advance”?????
Gosh, maybe the Raid…. yes, I am sadly coming to that conclusion as well. Thank you, Sundance, for forcing all of my previous hope to be smacked down under the cold hand of reality. God bless you, sir!!
Yup.
Wow. Yah. That’s important. He knew a few days in advance.
Then DeSantis would have planned for a ‘funeral’ engagement long before an ‘unexpected tragedy’ at the last minute and diverted a taxpayer funded jet to NJ and back to FL, no?
What am I missing here?
Not to mention DeSantis is OK with our NY lunatic Governess receiving funding from another lunatic billionaire who backs him?
No, not OK.
“Not to mention DeSantis is OK with our
NY lunatic Governess receiving funding from
another lunatic billionaire who backs him?”
Didn’t think it was possible to get worse than Cuomo/
but Hochul did not disappoint. She’s insane alright and
apparently DeSantis doesn’t have a problem with her or
Cayre. Boils down to “Show me the MONEY!”
DeSantis isn’t demanding anyone show him their money.
The monied are demanding he show them his grovel.
https://unitingnys.com/actions/we-won-our-quarantine-camp-lawsuit-but-hochul-is-appealing-help-us-defeat-hochuls-appeal/
What is it with Democrat women governors — they are all Nazis!?
And look at the women leaders in Europe…EU leader Ursula van derCrazy is one. The leader of Estonia is another. And keep your eye on up and coming Liz Truss for UK Prime Minister. She is worse than Boris.
It often turns out that many in the 1% globalist oligarchy, including here in the US, learned at the (disgusting, ick) feet of Klaus Schwab.
This is why I will never trust Tulsi Gabbard despite anything good she says.
DeSantis had to know (or should have known) about the funeral.
I understand his commitment to attend the funeral. However, there was P L E N T Y of time to attend the fundraiser as well.
The only thing that happened that was “Unexpected”, imho, was he bailed on MAGA.
YEP.
He is not and never was MAGA…just an opportunist.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had to pull out of a big-bucks fundraiser for New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin on Long Island on Sunday because of an “unforeseen tragedy,” the candidate’s rep told The Post.
The Sunshine State Republican was slated to appear at a $25,000-a-plate gathering in Oyster Bay.
“An unforeseen tragedy forced Governor DeSantis to reschedule his trip to New York,” Zeldin spokeswoman Katie Vincentz said, declining to elaborate. “While we’re rescheduling with Governor DeSantis for a later date, tonight’s fundraiser will proceed and is expected to raise almost a million dollars.”
So, DeSantis could have gone to the NY event and been back for the funeral the next day without issue.
But then he flew to NJ.
I believe he stopped in New Jersey first. Collected the check. Then flew back to Florida.
Never made it to NY…
Allegedly, the official reason he left Florida.
He might have mentioned the “pick up some dough in NJ” plan on his personal social media account….
dunno
Nothing in Sundance’s relentless commentary on DeSantis above indicated the Governor “collected a check!” Now we are just creating narratives like the NYT or WaPo?
So someone running for office goes to see a billionaire who is not a personal friend of long standing, and you think no money was being discussed or given?
I’m willing to be entertained, what do you suppose DeSantis was doing in NJ at the billionaire’s residence?
I know it hurts, but take the eye patches off a tiny bit each hour. By this time tomorrow, you will see clearly. It bites when someone you thought you could trust, just isn’t that person
Tell me you are a Sanibot without saying you are a Sanibot….
“Sundance’s relentless commentary on DeSantis…”
Sundance becomes relentless when he sees wool being pulled over eyes.
And he has been right so many times I can barely remember them all. Barr and Sessions are two obvious examples.
That’s why I am trying to follow this controversy with as much attention (unplugged from emotion and sticking to fact) as I can bring to it, without losing sight of the larger goal to work locally for November (and earlier – the primary in my blue state is a week away).
Yep, just more lunatics flapping off at the keyboard! Sundance is doing himself and his followers a huge disservice with the DeSantis bashing…. He sure has a blind spot on this topic.
I’d rather take DeSantis over Romney or McCain any day of the week. For non-Trump Republicans, the question you have to ask yourself is how much will this person navigate within the parameters laid down by the Deep State’s many demands.
But I’ll take Donald J Trump all 365 days of the year over everyone.
The choices are Trump (10% chance of success in term 2) or secession. No one in the entire country has the gravitas to beat back the feds except Trump.
90 percent chance of success in second term; his enemies have already signaled, by word and desperate deed, that THEY are certain IF he gets a second term, that they are finished.
And as nutty and out of touch as they are in most things, I think the care RIGHT.
However, he will need our HELP. WE must worked to get these MAGA Candidates that made it thru the Primary, into office in Nov.
We KNOW Mitch and Ronna are withholding funds. Get out your wallets, and donate what you can, DIRECTLY to the campaign, NOT thru WinRed.
Get into the fight, at your local Republican party, to make the State Republican party, the MAGA party.
Go on RINO hunts, to TAG em and BAG em, and boot them out.
Does anyone have a direct address to send donations to President Trump? I will not send any donation going to WinRed.
Here ya go. It’s still only to the PAC but you can send a check.
SaveAmerica
P.O. Box 13570
Arlington, VA 01915
Note: I had to do quite a bit of digging to find this snail-mail address when PDJT first launched the SaveAmerica PAC. It is still not on the donaldjtrump DOT com site anywhere. At the time, I sent an email to a person/address named in the public documents creating the PAC, and they gave me this address.
“For non-Trump Republicans, how much will this person navigate within the parameters laid down by the Deep State’s many demands”
Ok… ^^^ THIS IS THE RISK, RIGHT HERE ^^^
If you can’t cut the freaking cord, as Bill so often chides CTH readers and posters… if you can’t POSSIBLY think and act outside of your little comfort zone… THEN YOU WILL GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU VOTE FOR. You want more Mitch McConnell? Well, there’s more where that came from, believe me.
If you want Uniparty and Controlled Opposition, and you vote for Uniparty and Controlled Opposition, then you will GET Uniparty and Controlled Opposition.
Not sure of your point, mr. piddles? Yes, if DeSantis is the only option to Crist, we need to play the chess board.
Yet, we need to keep in mind who is in control. As I have constantly written. DeSantis has NOT decisively removed the Dominion machine issue, only thrown money at weird cyber voting machine fixes, which WILL NOT WORK.
What if his handlers want to make Ron LOSE to Christ? And can easily do so with the voting mechanisms in place?
Then, we need to call Ron into action, now.
I DO NOT LIKE the FACT THAT RON MIGHT BE TAKING MONEY FROM A DEVELOPER WHO WANTS WE NYERS UNDER HOCHUL’S DEMONISTIC RULE!
Take DeSantis out of the equation…
If the best we can do is “how much will this person navigate within the parameters laid down by the Deep State’s many demands”, then nothing will ever change. That’s all.
(Not directed at any one person)
Indeed, yet paraphrasing Andrew Breitbart, whoever is the one closest to this country’s values, we will stand with them.
So, according to PT, we can back DeSantis overwhelmingly for Governor and then monitor him later on.
I think Sundance’s overall point… if I may… is the last part: “monitor him later on”.
Or more generally, as he wrote a few moments ago down below: “eyes wide open”.
Other than that… don’t elect Charlie Freaking Crist.
Huzzah!
Most in Florida know what Crist was like and what DeSantis is like, we will not be dissuaded from keeping our awesome governor. However, as Sundance has elucidated, DeSantis is not MAGA enough or strong enough for POTUS in the current state of the union. We need a serious unwavering fighter to get our country back. Only DJT has done so to date.
the point is he is not MAGA at all
YES……Me Too…..President Donald J. Trump is his own MAN….
“non-Trump Republicans”? Easy to recognise, but they really need to have plexiglass windows surgically implanted in their bellys, so they can at least see where they are going.
“non-Trump Republicans”,…who REALLY fell for the “demeanor”,..”mean tweets” “new york liberal” or “javanca” lines of criticism, all of which trigger strong emotional responces, shutting down critical thinking which, if not muted would be screaming;
“Its the POLICY, STUPID!”
You support PDJT because if the America First policy.
And THEY HATE him, NOT becausevof demeanor, but because of that very same POLICY.A policy platform that threatens their elite status quo.
“non-Trump Republicans”,…as opposed to “neverTrumpers” “like Trumps policies, but just wish there was someone else to advocate for them.”
Which is unrealistic: you can NOT fight these globalist scum, and beat them ‘nicely’; they want you dead.
They want your children indoctrinated and neutered.
And they won’t stop until they get what they want, unless we END them.
Get it?
Aggiegirl gets it. So do her kids who have their patriarchal DNA consisting of American Revolutionary freedom fighters.
What we have is a concentration of 535 citizens, with the titles of Congressman or Congresswoman, seeking to live like Aristocracy…with a totalitarian ruler at the helm…kind of like…:
You know, the ‘aristocracy’, not just a King, that we fought against 2 1/2 + centuries ago.
I have one of those in my family tree. We would not have won the revolutionary war with out the General. Unfortunately, my son has too much normalcy bias and Jesus will save us. Jesus WILL save our souls, but, it is up to US to save our country. We, older folks have seen too much over too many years to not recognize just how critical things are today. We have always had law and order. We have always had a two tier justice system, where elites were deferred to. We have NEVER had law enforcement going after parents at school meetings, arresting parents for saving their children, imprisoning parents for political activity.
The old aristocracy from Britain still lives on as well, all the relatives of the family are living beyond anyone’s wildest dreams, but they often do it under the radar. A funny pattern arrives when you see whom they support in the USA as well, seems the old British family is supporting Democrats in power via the largest voting block states… I wonder why that would be? Surely they aren’t trying to covertly take over the USA again? I mean their choice for president HRC lost, now they got Biden in.
I’ve often thought about this issue of the New England democrats despising the Constitution and voting democrat because the party practically stands for treason against America. But, Wow! have they ever loved our currency.
The uniparty has to have someone to hate as a shared focal point and energizer for getting and keeping power. They won’t give up their anti-MAGA quest because We the People are behind it. It’s clearer than ever now.
I like DeSantis for Florida. But, if big money says “jump!” and he says “how high?,”it won’t be long before he betrays the MAGA movement. The Club wants DeSantis to take the MAGA vote and then they will neuter him and us, just like they did to the TEA Party.
Nailed it, lindak.
Not even sure about Florida? How many scenarios can we conjure up about winning or losing Florida for both state, congressional and presidential races with Dominion machines still in place?
The swamp may want him to lose and then go to town on Florida’s presidential electoral delegates.
It’s a shame but at least we know what is happening this time.
Don’t hang your heart on a politician.
EVER.
“Listen, I’m a politician which means I’m a cheat and a liar, and when I’m not kissing babies I’m stealing their lollipops. But it also means I keep my options open.”

No, respectfully the Unipartybhas been GROOMING him to be the Trump splitter, and they have a LOT invested in him.
That “fight” with the Feds over monoclonals,…got to admit it now looks staged.
Even the fight with Disney, all to give him MAGA ‘chops’,..bono fides.
They are running Crist to lose, is my guess, he is the cautiinary tale, the ultimate case for “vote for the R (Desantis) cause the D (crist) is WORSE.
A political whore who was Republican, than Independant, and now Democrat, and on his first day out is telling people “I don’t want your vote!”?
Puhlease!
Oh, and as for DOMINION, firstly long before Sundance gently, then more firmly, and then slapping people in the face helped them to red pill on Ron, the evidence was right in front of you and didn’t require much research.
Did he ever call 2020 The steal?
Did he do anything to fix election fraud in Florida?
Dominion CAN be beaten, DJT showed it in 2016, and KL in the recent primary.
EXACTLY!! This is what I have said for a long time! It has all been for show from the very beginning. He was allowed to do all of those things without much resistance. Only some minor verbal complaints.
I said as much when Sundance first “pulled the curtain back”. I guess I have read here for too many years and my whiskers start twitching like a divining rod. Yeah it hurts to hear this when your a Florida resident but better to know now than later. Which also answers my question about “Catturd”.
Nice touch with the puppies.
I agree with you 100%
I also think that he made a grave error with the raid on
Mar a Lago. The hair went up on the back of many
people’s necks. Then there is the information posted
on this site by Sundance and repeated on other
conservative sites. The actions of DeSantis will be
watched now. We also know that all those press
conferences and “aren’t I wonderful” actions are
suspect.
A word to the wise: Keep your head in the game that is happening in your own neck of the woods. Where we live and breathe has the same political machinations going on. Be On it.
This is one of the reasons I pay so much attention to sundance’s specifics about Florida.
And Barb, you are correct about my cesspool of a blue state. Right now they are pouring big $$ into a RINO splitter (Chris Doughty) to derail the campaign of Geoff Diehl, endorsed by PDJT, for governor. The primary is next week.
Luckily the A-1 people I know are all aware that this is happening, and there are many amongst the substantial Independent vote in blueMA which has been cheated for time immemorial.
I’ve already had one person, new to me, stop by to tell me how much they like my Diehl lawn sign.
BINGO…..
My my. What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.
DeSantis’s motives are as glaring as the fraudulent 2020 election evidence, and yet some still refuse to see it. I guess they’ll have to be shocked and disgusted by his Rino attributes when they see it for themselves. 🙄 Don’t ever say you weren’t warned…
Ron De$anti$ gott$ to get$ paid. Ron$ dont$ care who give$ him$ money$, Dem$ or Repub$. De$anti$ $ellout in high $ea$on.
$hit$tir much? $ee $undance $tir the $hit! $tir $undance $tir! $poon $hit $o $ome will $wallow! $pectacular! $how the $uckers what to $ee!
leave DeSantis alone
Honestly, use of foul language is not required to make your point.
Commenters here are for DeSantis as governor of Florida, but do not believe DeSantis is Presidential material. Also, many are pointing out who is funding/backing DeSantis and it is GOPe high rollers and not MAGA grass root donors.
Sometimes the truth is painful, but must be said.
Here we go. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
Yes. That sentence says more truth than a hundred words could.
His smile in the bottom pic is not sincere….when a person smiles, sincerely, they also smile with their eyes, there are smile lines outside the eyes, not just facial muscle activity in the mouth and cheeks area.
Those eyes are not smiling. That bothers me.
He has a law degree and was a JAG lawyer, so he knows how to manipulate.
Exactly!
Sad. I had high hopes for Ronny-boy. But also could see the handwriting on the wall when he said NOTHING about the Mar-A-Lago raid.
Plus what President Trump said in declaring he thought Kari would be the greatest governor ever.
Indeed, she might. She is on the frontlines of the Southern border. She understands what is at stake and she is willing to fight tooth and nail without the money.
Bottom line, KL like DJT is not a politician. DeSantis is and always will be. He’s toast in my book. Besides, I can’t stand any GOP who cozy up to President Trump to get the support of folks like me and then turn around and start screwing the base. Can’t be trusted…………..period. As the old saying goes……follow the Benjamins.
It’s not that he said nothing.
He managed to sound outraged without mentioning the person whose loss of basic civil rights should have been the reason for such outrage.
It was too clever by half.
BOOM! SUNDANCE MAKES ANOTHER 1,000 YARD SHOT…..
Immediately following the meeting, DeSantis cancels the fundraiser….
With a completely bogus jackwagon excuse no less.
And it only hurt himself.
Those in attendance had already paid the price of admission.
The only negative that occurred because he bailed…
is everyone now knows he will!
Those people paid a lotof money to be at that fund raiser, and all they got was a Bongino?
Will trade up one MAGA candidate for a Bongino…?
I guess not enough money involved, eh Ron?
Wonder why Bongino?
Id rather have a Bongino.
I am not sold on Bongino’s schtick. He is not all in.
YES!!!! Therein lies the entire RUB!!!!
Yeah, if you didn’t believe it before you should now. Who uses an excuse like that?? A TRAGEDY? Pull the other one, Ron…
WHAT does this billionaire want specifically from DeSantis ???
To control him and to attempt to derail Trump.
E V E R Y T H I N G is to derail President Trump.
Not so much President Trump, but, to derail US and prevent US from having a POTUS that represents sound policies that benefit the republic for all.
ANY money man support a NY Dimm/commie who then pours money into a GOP pol cannot be up to ANYTHING good……so as to specifics….WHAT does it matter?….it is not something good for the voters of FL or the US
I do caution that we do not yet have evidence that Ron is actually taking the money.
But if anyone can find that evidence, it will be sundance in 5…4…3…2..1…
So who is 100% on board with MAGA?
MTG?
The short fireplug Italian gal who’s name escapes me.
Kash Patel and Rick Grenell; his trade and economic team.
Lots of wafflers.
Tina. She is a HOOT!
If you mean Tina Peters, that woman is a fighter of the first order.
I’d love to see her in a new PDJT administration.
Yet, the rest of us.
Laura Boerbert,, the “pistol packing mama” perhaps? sure.
Actually 6 running for reelection to the House were targeted by marc elias, with suits based on 14th amendment, and their support if “insurection”.
MTG, Boerbert (and btw, I heard a speech she gave, she is NOT just a pretty face, she is something else!)
Ghomert, Biggs, Gosar, Gaetz, sorry can’t remember one.
Pending; KL and Blake Masters, actually all 12 PDJT endoresed candidates in Az, DePerno in Michigan.
Lara Loomer,…Tina Peters, the TGP reporter running for the Legislsture in NYS.
Actually, just as we need to learn to spot the Rinos, we need to learn to shift our focus from Fed races of POTUS and Congress, to STATE and local races; THATS where the POWER is, all Feds have is control.
State legislatures detirmine the manner of ELECTIONS, and SoS, County Recorders and County boards of Supervisors carry out the elections.
AG’s and DA prosecute (or choose not to) election fraud, and Police Chiefs appointed by Mayors, and County Sheriffs investigate em.
These jobs are VITAL to MAGA, and even ONE Rino can undermine our efforts.
Nope! I read somewhere that MTG has been accepting money and making money off of the stocks from MRna pharmaceuticals.
It is all about the money.
Yeah, I did too since I owned Johnson and Johnson and Pfizer
before the Covid scare. So what?
It’s easy and getting easier to tell who the actual MAGA warriors are – but not for a comforting reason.
Just look at those who have been the targets of dawn raids and all the other civil rights violations.
Steve Bannon
Peter Navarro in leg irons
Marjorie getting swatted three times
Tina Peters and the other Colorado woman who was a candidate
the Walkaway guy (Scott Presler?) who was persecuted as part of Jan6 (not to mention everyone from Jan6, of course)
all the way back to General Flynn
One of Tucker’s recent openers listed most of them, and it was getting to be quite the long list.
The other way to tell is by looking at the people who have been working tirelessly to reveal the election fraud. That’s walking the walk.
Mike Lindell
Mark Finchem
Wendy Rogers
Doug Mastriano (well worth small donation bucks in his campaign for PA governor)
Plenty more that I can’t remember off the top of my head…
Very true Steph….walk away guy is Brandon Straka.
Ah yes – I’m always getting those two confused…thanks.
Well that’s a shame. He looked like he had potential, then Ron scampers off to bow and scrape before a globalist oligarch.
This is why Trump was so appealing as a leader. He already has his billions. The oligarchs have nothing to offer him. He was free to do the right thing as much as he could, damn the globalists.
Actually, he only “looked like he had potential” if you didn’t look very hard at all, didn’t know what to look for, and were blinded by emotion so you couldn’t see clearly.
NEVER called 2020 a Steal, thats a done deal.
OncecI saw that, months and months ago, it was all I needed.
A Rino WILL NOT call 2020 a steal, a MAGA Candidate “won’t shut up about it”;
MTG, Boerbert, KL, and others talk abour it, and J6 prisoners, and no mandates, no machines, ..
A RINO will talk about fighting CRT, and grooming in schools, cause they gotta give us something,…but theyvwill not talk about 2020, and they won’t do anything to clean up elections.
Exactly, DeSantis did the bare minimum of “safe” MAGA actions, always to much fanfare and bravado, to give the appearance of being totally on board the Trump Train. What was his stance on abortion by the way?
I was looking forward to Sundance’s take on this story when I first read about it yesterday. It did not smell right then and now we know why. Thank you Sundance.
XX
Mmkay… I feel like a total numbnutz for asking… but I’ve seen you post this several times… and again, feelin’ a little numbnutz here… but what does “XX” mean? Unless you’re just thirsty for a cool adult beverage, of course…
Lol…I have been wondering that too!
I’ve been wondering too, but I think XX means “two kisses.”
Sorry, you must have missed an earlier chapter.
XX comes from WWII ….. meaning “double-cross”…… it is being used today as an abbreviation for de-santi-s since he double-crossed President Trump and MAGA. Not what an American patriot does.
“The Double-Cross System or XX System was a WWII counter-espionage and deception operation of the British Security Service. Nazi agents in Britain – real and false – were captured, turned themselves in or simply announced themselves, and were then used by the British to broadcast mainly disinformation to their Nazi controllers. Its operations were overseen by the Twenty Committee. The name of the committee comes from the number 20 in Roman numerals: “XX” (i.e. a double cross).”
Florida voters should vote de-santi-s in as governor but he should stop his charade of being MAGA. He doesn’t measure up to the standard. He is through-and-through GOPe, our enemy.
Whenever you see a picture of de-santi-s just visualize an “XX” on his forehead like the letter “L” is used for loser or liar……. a Rush (RIP) technique.
“Let’s go Brandon and de-santi-s!”
I am obsessed with WWII because I see so many parallels.
Thanks for the information.
Oh wow! Thanks!
“. . . minus one”
I take no pleasure in writing these “expose’s” of the conniving political schemes. However, it is best to enter the field of battle with eyes wide open, than to discover later on that we are being betrayed.
People ask me why write about it now? Why not wait until after DeSantis get elected?
First, I didn’t push DeSantis onto the national stage, the GOPe and his handlers did.
Second, this is the same stuff I was writing about in 2014 and 2015, ahead of the 2016 GOP nomination cycle.
Writing about it in 2022 and 2023 ahead of the 2024 GOP nomination cycle is no different.
We can pick at the edges of the bandaid, slowly incurring minutes of pain from the removal process….. Or, we can just grab the damned thing and rip it off, suffering a few seconds of pain and then moving on.
At this point, there is no replacement for DeSantis other than Crist for governor, so Floridians MUST drag DeSantis over the finish line for Governor.
Yet, our eyes remain steely cold. The usage of the existing voting machines (by DeSantis never even speaking about them…no audit demand) will require a monster vote so as not to play into a strategic loss maneuvered by the handlers. This NJ real estate developer is obviously one of the handlers.
RINO’s and other deceptions MUST be managed from now on.
We need to outvote the steal.
Numerous times Sundance has said “Desantis has been a great Governor for Florida”, or words to that effect.
He should REMAIN the Gov of Florida.
And, WE need to learn to spot the GOPe, much earlier in the game.
His whole schtick, not called out MUCH earlier, and instead people “falling in love with him” and so NOT seeing and pointing out his warts, means he ran unopposed in his primary, “cause who in the right mind is run against RD in Florida?”
Ideally, MONTHS and MONTHS ago, people would havr been challenging him to do MORE.
LIKE challenging him to commit; 2020 election?
Most secure in history or a STEAL? Funny, they hit KL with that question a # of times,…but has the press EVER asked him even ONCE?
IF he had gone on record, even once, with that “most secure” line, a long time ago, THAT would have exposed him and perhaps a MAGA could have challenged him in the primary.
More MAGA people involved in the State R party, tagging and baggin RINOS, would ALSO have seen the truth early on.
So not just in Florida treepers in all 57 states can learn from this, cause treepers in all 57 States were fooled by RD (but not all of us!) and can apply this lesson learned, going forward.
Fight SMARTER, not HARDER, and quit looking for quick solutions, this is a generational struggle we are in.
sarcasm? 57 states? I know Obama said that once …..
Your point is well taken about fighting RNC influence at the local and state level. Far too many well meaning Republicans follow the party instead of conservative principles. We can all work on that locally.
I quit following the party, when they refused to seat Ron Paul’s delegates. I have never forgiven the GOPe for that or Obamacare.
Still a good tactic to register Republican in any state that requires it to vote in R primaries.
Or – if one is following the precinct strategy of a hostile takeover of the R party from within – which is still our only, if difficult, path.
I am a native Floridian who was living in Northeast FL when RDS ran for the US House. I well remember Jeb! endorsing him and appearing with him during the campaign. I moved to the Destin area a few years later and my current representative, Matt Gaetz, was pushing for RDS to run for governor at least a year before the primary. President Trump endorsed him when he was trailing Adam Putnam by double digits in the primary and fueled his surge into the lead. When RDS won his primary, Jeb! again endorsed him and actively fundraised on his behalf.
So, I was well aware of his GOPe connections when I voted for him in 2018. I don’t regret it one iota and I will vote for him again in November. Am I disappointed when he drops the MAGA ball and makes these unforced errors? Of course, but I knew he straddled the party spectrum from the start and I expect he will continue to do so. We need him to serve another term as governor, but he also needs to be reminded that the GOPe is his third rail.
It’s up to us to call him out and hold him accountable for his missteps. I contacted his office to express my outrage at the FBI raid and to express my frustration with his silence. I sent an email this morning regarding the Zeldin cancellation and urged him to immediately clarify the reason behind his meeting with the Hochul donor. We need to hold his feet to the fire, but at the same time give him credit for his successes.
Thanks, Sundance, for putting these issues out there so we can know what we’re up against. Floridians, rise up and let our governor know we will support him only if he toes the MAGA line. We need him to be re-elected, but then he needs to stay here and support President Trump in 2024. RDS is not ready for the White House.
DeSantis alerted everyone with his comment about a “tragedy”forcing him to cancel his event with Zel. It made me curious but seemed inexplicable. You saw behind the curtain and that is a real gift. Thanks for sharing it with us all.
Its so tragic to pick up a check, I am sure he was literally shaking.
Yes, a planned funeral is MUCH different than an immediate life/death event. And the diversion to NJ?
As a NYer, I am insulted that DeSantis did not do what was a feasible schedule to help Zeldon.
This seems to be the MO for the GOPe.
GOPe=UniP
It is Trump’s endorsement that MAGA really follows. If DeSantis has his own race in Florida why come to New York and Arizona? Brian Kemp in Georgia is a good example of what damagea bought and paid for conservative candidate can do for money.
De Santis needs to turn down the offers from the big club and concentrate on the needs of Florida.
They have not taken Trump out.
If DeSantis has truly gone to the dark side, it is indeed a tragedy.
For us as a nation, and for him personally.
Rip that bandaid off my friend. That is why your research based opinion is so powerful.
If we allow the uniparty free rain to stage the political battlefield we loose in the end.
If they aren’t pushed against the RINOS will push DeSantis on us over and over again right into the Whitehouse.
Not to burst everyone’s bubble but remember every politico who rises through the ranks was recruited by the cabal , They all had to make concessions alone the way for political expediency .
In other words little forks in the road where they sold out. As time goes on the chance for power overtakes them ant they loos their way. anyone counting on a compromised person is doomed to fail.
Every one of them , insider sellouts. There are thousands of these opportunists waiting in the wings.
Trump the ultimate insider is the only one we can count on. He owes nothing to anyone . We can count on him. He proved that in his first term.
I can’t wait to see what Trump has in store for DeSantis . I am awaiting his Ted Cruz moment.
I am proud unapologetic
Treeper and always will be..
MAGA
True. The two private clubs are actually unconstitutional. The are election interference. Not sure if primaries are even legit?
Good point.
Whoa! what’s that smell? Did some just step on a Catturd? 🤔
Rip it off quickly Sundance, no matter what the pain. At the end of time the truth will stand.
You go Sundance. President Trump revealed the decipticons and their ways it is up to us to do something about it.
Bless you, Sundance!!! Yes, it’s been painful for me, the eternal optimist and hopeful gal that I am. But, one of my favorite quotes is from James Baldwin — “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
Face it MAGA, Treepers and lovers of the USA as founded. DeSantis is not MAGA. God bless us good, patriotic, MAGA Treepers. We’ve gotta keep it real and face the suck!
Thank you. I have not yet learned to read the signs. But, there it is, clear as day in this story. I am so disappointed in Ron.
We MAGA supporters are very supportive of the information you post
and thankful for the hours of research you put into your findings.
Do you want Charlie as your next Governer?
Sundance already answered that question, HHH, clearly and succinctly. He is in no way trying to sandbag DeSantis as governor of FL.
Sundance is pointing out the obvious; the fact that DeSantis is not MAGA and all of the moves he is making currently align with uniparty GOPe. DeSantis has taken gobsmacking amounts of money from big club interests, now those same interests tell him what to do and when to do it. MAGA does not do that, simply put.
It does not matter whether he is sandbagging DeSantis as Governor intentionally or not. The result is the same: he is sandbagging DeSantis. For the different reasons than, say, CNN, or Cohen who just said that DeSantis is more dangerous than Trump and must be stopped, but the outcome is the same.
Now let’s start sandbagging Trump if “truth has no agenda”, shall we? Just because he made 100 x times more questionable choices, surrounded himself with RINO and Democrats who ultimately sabotaged his agenda, praised the Clintons as “good people who he did not want to hurt” because they were already through too much (despite previously telling the world that she would be in jail), kept pandering to the Blacks and LGBT “community” who largely did not vote for him, endorsed McConnell and Romney and a number of other establishment candidates, including Liz Cheney, elevated Nikki Haley, praised the hell out of his super wonderful Vice President, made Ronna RNC chair, allowed chaos and infighting in the White House, had a sleazeball fraudster Cohen as a personal attorney (fixer) for years, including during his Presidency etc. etc.
But we are not going to do that, are we? Because, despite truth not having agendas and other platitudes shouted from the moral high ground, we see a bigger picture.
And so it boils down to our bias and our own agenda, not truth’s agenda or lack thereof.
Politics is a dirty business and without compromise and backroom deals (which Trump had a-plenty, don’t you doubt that) any governing turns into dictatorship.
Gov. DeSantis did not even say he was planning to run for President. Neither did Trump. And everyone is acting as if they are both already firing shots at each other. Or something.
He needs to stay at the Governor level. He is awesome at that. He has lost my trust for anything higher including senator.
What was the pressure point on him? I will tell you this. The deep state are many things, but, you got to hand it to them. They are brilliant. I used to think that the Russians/Soviets knew how to manipulate people and we were just outstanding with technology. I no longer think that. The DS are brilliant at manipulating people and creating/using technology. I was and am expecting for people on the MAGA side to be ‘turned’ — just part of game –, but, when it was revealed that DeSantis was flipped, I was very, very impressed.
again the accolades for a Gov who has done far less than would warrant laying claim to them….what exactly makes him “awesome” other than comparison to losers like Hutchinson or Noem who suffer from anal craniality disease
Money is the root of the problem for most politicians. They need it to run. Then they get the slush fund going…
Because most of them have no other skills to make money on their own.
Parasites looking for a host.
Beginning to wonder if he really is awesome at being Governor, is it mostly the state legislature actions?
Ron DeSantis has had the benefit of a staunchly Republican state legislature, he really hasn’t had to fight all that hard for his agenda.
I have always actually realized that the only reason DeSantis looks good at all is the 49 other governors.
I’m not impressed. It’s the oldest thing in the book, Ron sold out for money and personal fame.
Money does not make the oligarch class smart. They are the same idiots but in much more expensive clothes.
https://www.schoolbusfleet.com/10135894/florida-district-seeks-transition-to-electric-school-buses
From the link…
“As for developing a charging infrastructure for the buses, Calzadilla told SBF that Miami-Dade is partnering with Florida Power and Light to determine the infrastructure needed to comply with the requirements for Level II charging stations.”
…
$68 million that will secure 227 electric transit buses in 13 counties statewide…
Case 3:16-cv-00295-CRB Document 51-1
Filed 10/02/17 Page 52 of 80
APPENDIX D-2 Eligible Mitigation Actions and Mitigation Action Expenditures
e. 3. For Government Owned Eligible Buses, and Privately Owned School Buses Under Contract with a Public School District, Beneficiaries may draw funds from the Trust in the amount of:
1. Up to 100% of the cost of a Repower with a new diesel or Alternate Fueled (e.g., CNG, propane, Hybrid) engine, including the costs of installation of such engine.
2. Up to 100% of the cost of a new diesel or Alternate Fueled (e.g., CNG, propane, Hybrid) vehicle.
3. Up to 100% of the cost of a Repower with a new All-Electric engine, including the costs of installation of such engine, and charging infrastructure associated with the new All-Electric engine.
4. Up to 100% of the cost of a new All-Electric vehicle, including charging infrastructure associated with the new All-Electric vehicle.
So…
The cost of designing and building the infrastructure (Florida Power and Light?) will also come out of the $68 million.
Have I got that right.
You know that picture of charging stations underwater? Add the electric busses and you have my thoughts when I saw Miami on that list. They will be worried each hurricane season.
And for those that avoid flooding, don’t forget to store them far apart so that the fires don’t spread.
Speaking of hurricanes, those EVs are going to be really useful when the power is down.
Haha yes. All these people with ev cars in FL. If their charge radius is 200 miles, people in Miami won’t even be able to leave the state 😂
Good luck to them, they’ll need it.
Add to that – yet another drain of $$ to China for the EV batteries.
Bugsy Siegal, btw.
Near as I know there is not one study that proves these electric buses can do the job. Forget the fact they need massive amounts of fossil fuel energy to CHARGE their batteries. Shame on DeSantis for falling for the lie.
‘Falling for the lie’
OR
‘PART OF THE LIE’
Absolutely part of the lie.
In supporting this clean energy smoke screen DeSantis is contrary to everything he has done so far as Governor.
Now we need to take this revelation and use it to help identify everyone who is supporting DeSantis .
He is like the canary in the mine now. DeSantis can identify the political poison for us if we just open our eyes.
Thanks Sundance now it is up to us Treepers .
MAGA
100% agree
IF we plan on defeating the ENEMY, he must be DEFINED.
SO many people refuse to see the truth, to acknowledge they’ve been lied to.
Classic case of Cognitive Dissonance.
Notice no refitted diesel or Alternate Fueled (e.g., CNG, propane, Hybrid) engine choices, for which the infrastructure exists at no additional cost.
No new diesel or Alternate Fueled (e.g., CNG, propane, Hybrid) choices, for which the infrastructure exists at no additional costs.
Only All-Electric, for which Z E R O infrastructure exists.
I’ve heard it said that the grift is in the “Approval”, “Planning” and “Development” of an idea…
The “Success”.. not so much.
But real estate billionaires can’t profit from the grift if the solution doesn’t require new facilities on the land they pre-purchased for such a time as this.
That part truly sickens me. I guess his kids won’t have to ride them — they’ll be taken to school by limosine!
Ev limo of course!
I don’t understand campaign finance. Isn’t there a law shdd as inst giving $400,000 to one candidate? Any insight is appreciated. Thanks.
Political Action Committees are the norm. Pay into that and money can be used for events and all other associating expenses and donations. Not certain about Florida election laws.
PACs have looser laws governing their expenditures…the direct funding of the campaigns is where the stricter limits are imposed…..limits on individual races and election cycle periods but it is all tax deductible for the giver…..if the candidate agrees to campaign financing limits he can get taxpayer matching funds….not sure if this is available for FL state elections
Florida election laws are unrestricted, as in no limits.
And IIRC due to previous ruling, he can collect $ now, ostensibly for Florida race, where he isn’t restricted, and then use that $ later, for POTUS run.
Thats how it is that he has far more $ in his campaign warchest, than would be expected for a Governor.
supposedly the unlimited is for STATE races only…..there is a current case where someone is using state campaign funds for a national election that the RDS campaign is watching ….it would technically be a violation to raise for a state race then use it for a national race
We have our work cut out for us to open the eyes of those enamored by this DeceptiCon.
And there it is
Bush, Cheney, Romney, McCain, Eyepatch, Cruz, Rubio…….DeSantis.
Oh, yeah…. what a perfect alternative for President once the administrative slimeBalls are finished hammering Donald Trump to pieces.
NOT EVER!
They haven’t chipped a spinter off him yet, and there latest attempt seems to have not just cracked the hammer handle, its chipped the head.
ONE time, at GREAT expense, they majorly tagged him (with Covid).
Which was the only way even with Dominion, that they could steal the election.
Every other time they have stayed in their wheelhouse, and tried this one trick pony lawfare crap, it has ultimately backfired.
Now look at Trump… 50/50, he’s either the most prolific patriotic badass or he’s just playing his part in all of this leading us to our demise.
Only time will allow us to distill the truth, time we don’t have as the hour is much to late.
OFFS.
Nice try.
James…is that you?
I hear Benny Hill music.
I’m definitely going with patriotic badass. Just look at the effort over the years trying to destroy the guy.(which obviously continues). He is the real deal.
His biggest “flaw” is that he was too trusting of people.
The most patriotic badass since Reagan, and he surpassed our beloved Ronnie in how and what he did.
The DC Creeps played on his fatal flaw — his germophobia.
I have not read anything that President Trump has said about
DeSantis. Either I missed it, or its very telling with
his silence.
Hmm, you just reminded me about rumors of a feud between them being floated earlier this year.
At the time, Jack Posobeic opined that the feud rumors were fake news. I do believe he sincerely concluded that.
But now I wish I had more time to look back at where the rumors actually came from…
A voice in the wilderness…
Love this!
Brilliant!!
Lee Zeldin
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Zeldin
Lee meant well by the 2% property tax cap, yet all they do now is increase the value of our properties.
This is where one needs to really understand contracts so the client is not screwed…unless the lawmaker wants the client…screwed.
It sounds like racketeering situation on Property taxes going up and up. They constantly raise/inflate the values of the personal property in an organized manner across all levels of Govt’, sucking the life and money out of the taxpaying populace, without much real opportunity for appeal. All committed by our Govt’ Kings and Queens who then reap the rewards of all that loot.
It might have been to his advantage NOT to have the Florida governor in attendance at the fundraiser.
It seems the timeline of the NJ meeting was a payoff for Ron NOT to attend that fundraiser for Lee Zeldin.
Kathy Hochul’s handlers did not want to raise media attention to the new It Boy assisting Lee.
Am I wrong?
Ron doesnt have FU money, he is getting FU to the people money in large chunks from big donors who want cheap labor, open borders, tax breaks and Gov bailouts. Groveling for FU to the people money is not a good look De$andis.
Eyes wide open.
“So, what changed?”
Nothing changed. Anyone wishing to mount a competitive race for POTUS who is short $1 billion in his savings account must go hat-in-hand.
I suspect DeSantis might even relish being the Robin Hood guy and if he saw a path to the WH under the populism guise he might not change costumes.
When ambition meets reality, reality wins.
Right. Is rds appealing to the actual voters of Florida for donations? If he’s so popular why only 6% donations from actual Florida voters in his coffers?
Absolutely, he is, regularly and often.
Probably because the other donations are LARGE!
We need to continue educating people to the fact that big money support from a few powerful oligarchs means vote for the other guy!
It’s already worked in some races. MAGA people have won, simply by telling the truth, in races where they were outspent 10 to 1.
Daily the truth becomes more dire, and people who are bearing the brunt of it become more willing to hear it…
There was nothing “unforeseen.”
The agent died NINE days prior.
Having spent 29 years working for one of the largest state police agencies in the country, I can assure you that funerals for officers killed in the line of duty are major events and the governor is expected to attend and speak.
There is no way the governor’s staff wasn’t kept up to date on this funeral.
DeSantis could have attended both.
President Trump can do two rallies in one day.
Especially when LEO’s from all over the country plan to and do attend such events. Many come from far away, too, and are able to alter their plans…without having the benefits of executive secretaries to take care of logistical details, such as transportation and uniform prep.
Any “Conservative” hitching his electric bus to the Global Warming, reduce emmissons scam is part of the fraud. They dont understand or want to follow the GW science, cant explain the science, they are just followers wanting to get their cut of the money cake.
De$antis, how much earth has to me moved and processed to build a EV battery for a bus? How much diesel fuel used to move that earth? Those super sized excavator shovels, bucket wheel excavators, lifts, cranes, loaders and lifters tearing into the earths crust, then the grinding, separating, crushing, refining, and smelting of the material, all this equipment doesn run on electric batteries. Are solar and Wind recharging those electric busses, what is the back up? You are a fcking fool and part of the problem.
Ron revealing his true self every day.
Exactly and btw why is the Volkswagen settlement going to state government instead of the actual
owners themselves of the diesel cars?
Just like the Pharma payout for the oxycodone tsunami.
The owners of those cars were getting more power while using less diesel.
The owners were benefiting the whole time.
I’m on VW’s side with this as well since I know the difference in emissions was negligible and the government standard is draconian for the little difference in non-co2 emissions
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis backed out of a fundraiser for New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin to attend a Monday memorial service for a member of his security detail who died in the line of duty, sources told The Post .
Did you read Sundance’ post? You know, the one you’re commenting on?
Me thinks Catturd may have a full litter box in the mornin…
after all the tweets he receives about this latest DeScamtis’s thread.
“This is a win for air quality and the states effort to bolster electric vehicle usage” said Ron DeSantis.
Well, this is one hell of a quote. Ugh.
We had it bad when Cuomo was our governor but Hockel is tons worse. She’s more corrupt than he was. Now they have a new law that you have to be 21 to purchase whipped cream…no joke! Like most of us just huff the stuff?? So now you can beat and rob people and be let out of jail with no bond but will do hard time for buying whipped cream for your cocoa.
The Cool Whip people are high fiving about now!
And probably retooling to start making their garbage with cricket flour.
We need DeSantis to beat Charlie Crist in Florida. This cannot be lost in this discussion.
He may not be full MAGA, but he sure as **** beats the alternative.
You are so right. But, I was hoping DeSantis would groom someone for governor and be POTUS in 2028.
Well, yes, yes you do.
The hard part will be watching DeSantis change as he targets the White House.
And as you mourn, just remember the good parts. It is hard to ruin Florida from Iowa and New Hampshire. And whatever changes DeSantis undergoes, he will still be better than Crist.
Also, take a real good look at whoever it is that would replace DeSantis. A vote for DeSantis is also a vote for his replacement.
Let’s try Sabatini.
I cannot believe that out of half the US population Republicans cannot find a number of experienced people, with excellent track records, who are not part of the political establishment and who are younger but with enough wisdom to be a good group of prospective presidential candidates. The same applies to the Democrats.
Perhaps the reason is that most of the politicians have too much invested in themselves and are not prepared to be “public servants” despite all their lofty claims to be working for their constituents. Self-interest is top of their list of priorities and not the welfare of ordinary Americans. Jesus was right when he said, “no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, for each tree is known by its own fruit.” Voters need to be reminded of this and learn to vote accordingly.
the problem is that you have to bow to the tribe and many people get into politics only to find out that you have to do as the tribe tells you or you don’t get to have a career.
This problem used to be a secret so there were probably at least a few young candidates who were surprised.
It is no longer a secret. So the motives have to be right from the get-go.
And hmm, maybe I just found another reason for the problem Call for Honesty is describing.
Diogenes, call your office.
Does ‘Jay’ Cayre look LBGT … ?
umm?
Is there no end of the corruption?
DeSantis Stans going for that Olympic gold in mental gymnastics.
This was scoffed at a year ago
Consultant training 101.
How your politician should hold their hands in public. Diamonds and triangles, but no hearts. And smack those hands if they start twiddling any digits.
They love their secret society symbolism
There are pics of Trump holding his hands in the same way(look up the meeting with Obama in 2016). It’s not necessarily nefarious.
It’s a bitter pill to swallow for those who had hope in Desantis, but look on the bright side: 10 years ago , he’d have gotten away with it. Thanks to Sundance, illusions are vanishing and we have a chance to become politically mature.
