For those who have followed the deep weeds of republican political games and schemes, the DeSantis flights from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard had a specific familiarity to them.
The transfer of Venezuelan migrants, illegal alien border crossers, from Texas to Massachusetts via Florida taxpayers and Ron DeSantis was/is, well, something republican strategist Lee Atwater would have come up with. The protege’ to Atwater is a person more familiar to modern republican followers, Karl Rove. Yes, the migrant transfer operation held all the political benefits of something very Rovian in its construct.
Take an issue like border security, central to the majority of republicans, add an element of targeted benefit and overlay an establishment playbook carried out by shadow constructs giving plausible deniability to the central planners in the backroom, and you get this type of operation. However, there’s always a risk of taking things just too far and losing control. An investigative article in the Miami Herald today has the elements of a looming backlash that needs to be avoided by the principle.
The Miami Herald is a notoriously left-wing super narrative machine, but when it comes to using their investigative resources to target a vulnerability in their opposition, they are akin to the New York Times in the sharpness of their attack. If the story as outlined in the Miami Herald is even remotely accurate, the thirsty people behind DeSantis may have just set themselves up for a problem and created an ‘own goal‘ scenario.
Investigators are now picking up the first scent of blood in the water created by short-sighted DeSantis operators. According to the lengthy outline, a contractor with intent to carry out the DeSantis operation has been identified by the media; she is known as “Perla.” The outline of the operation now changes the national narrative, at least that’s the goal of the Herald, from Rovian political strategy into DeSantis using vulnerable migrants as political pawns.
Miami Herald – […] Ultimately, the migrants interviewed by the Herald were the butt of the joke. They thought they were going somewhere. Five days before she knocked on the door of their motel rooms, the woman, who never told them her name, had recruited the migrants to join a secret operation to transport asylum-seekers out of Texas. She had approached them outside San Antonio’s migrant resource center and said she worked for an organization that she did not name.
[…] The week before, contractors working for DeSantis, including a woman known only as “Perla,” had organized two charter flights to Martha’s Vineyard, the Massachusetts island, as part of a taxpayer-funded program to remove “unauthorized aliens” from Florida.
[…] DeSantis has said he’s recruiting migrants in Texas for the flights because it’s easier to find them traveling together at the border than spread out in his own state. Critics called it a cruel stunt — and a misuse of taxpayer money — aimed at promoting a governor expected to run for president.
[…] DeSantis’ office did not immediately respond Wednesday when asked if the state of Florida was behind the latest recruiting efforts, or whether it had arranged the planned charter flight from San Antonio to Delaware that never happened. When shown photos of various recruiters, migrants from the Martha’s Vineyard flights and the group that thought they were destined for Delaware both recognized one image, of an unidentified woman with black hair.
[…] Christina Pushaw, the DeSantis campaign’s rapid response director, would write on Twitter that news of the Delaware flight was “disinformation.” (Like the governor’s office, the DeSantis campaign did not respond to a request for comment.) After the flight was canceled, the recruiters organized a bus to take Escalona and most of the others back from La Quinta to the San Antonio migrant resource center. But some migrants were never told about the bus. They were stranded at the remote hotel roughly 10 miles from the resource center, where migrants can get aid and shelter for a maximum of three days.
[…] All of the migrants interviewed by the Herald told similar stories. They were recruited by a woman in a black vehicle driving around the migrant resource center and then taken to La Quinta to wait. Although the destination was uncertain, the plan appealed to people who had no resources after making the long journey north from Venezuela.
[…] There were conditions to staying at La Quinta as part of the program. The recruiters warned him not to give out any information or talk about what they were doing. It still would have been worth it, he said, had he gotten to a state that provided more resources to migrants. He just wanted to work, and the woman’s offer seemed to promise that opportunity. (In reality, asylum seekers are not allowed to work immediately, although they have legal status in the United States.) Deiker José’s plan vanished the moment the flight was canceled. “I want to cry because I feel hopeless. I have nothing. How do I work? How do I survive?” he said. (read more)
There is a fine line between making a political point and being viewed as exploiting the desperation of vulnerable migrants.
I have no doubt the Rovian people behind the DeSantis campaign saw an opportunity to score major national points, and when combined with the ferocity of the Pushaw eastern European mindset there was likely an echo-chambered snark-filled joy of willingness in the plan.
However, if you do not see how this has the likelihood to be viewed as tenuously ridiculing by the larger Latino community in Florida, you likely don’t recognize when a joke turns into the bloom falling from the ruse.
Overlay Florida taxpayer money being used to fund the DeSantis national political game and, well, you already see the grins in the Lawfare crowd.
When the DC Fascista go after Ron DeSantis, our maga spokespeople should maybe stay quiet, and give him a taste of his own Machiavellian game. Maybe it will dawn on him that he chose poorly in siding with the quislings.
That’s a fight we can have after the mid terms. I kinda like having RD in charge of my state. How’s it in yours? I can’t imagine if the LBQTXYZ meth smoker had been elected. The only good news is that we wouldn’t be having assholes trying to get here from other states.
He’s been a good governor.
I agree with you a hundred percent about RD….. unless he decides (maybe already has?) to run against PDJT. There is one person on Earth who can take down the DeepState, and one person only.
The stakes for us and our country are way too high to suffer lukewarm would be machiavellis.
DeSantis is very very sharp, very nimble with the press and very skilled politically.
Well, he isn’t very skilled to not support President Trump regarding the break in at Mara Largo.
Nor was he very skilled to support TPP which was anti American.
Or how about taking dark money and now being a puppet for the donors.
Any questions, just ask why Ken Griffin is now wanting to trade his DeSantis donation for Sec of the Treasury.
Your definition of skilled looks much different than mine.
He has the same problem as Ghramnesty. A very plugged in SC operative once told me it’s not his intellect, it’s his allegiances.
SC has open primaries, and a lot of Dims will vote for him, especially the buttboinkers.
In no way did I mean to imply like proclivities.
Power and money have a strong allure–even for the savviest. Ron DeSantis is a good governor, but he’s not a god or Superman.
DITTO….
3,000 words of babbling commie bs
Work a phone bank to get out the R voters.
“Work a phone bank to get out the MAGA-REPUBLICAN voters.
fixed it,…
Next November we will be watching a lot of 2 person races.
I don’t want any democrats to win.
And,It’s sad that some want the Dems to win by NOTvoting in a two person race .
VOTE and “ get out the R voters” is good.
DEM voters are a cult whose only cure is more Rs.
I Disagree strongly… Rs who stab maga in the back are worse than Ds in many instances.
Nope….MAGA- CONSERVATIVE voters
Republicans are right wing of the Democrat UniParty
There is a bit of “heads we win, tails they lose” available in this “Rovian” stunt. As long as President Trump stays above that particular fray, he benefits from the overarching message. And make no mistake, there is a strong point being made in the dumping of illegal aliens on Marxist doorsteps.
ALL the GOP candidates for Congress benefit from the renewed focus on the border and the MILLIONS that are coming across. Illegal immigration is big with voters this cycle.
If the people starting this innuendo and making it real and plastering it all over the media want to go that route then the MAGA and republicans who have any sense of action need to blast away at the facts of how the illegals are moved throughout the country BY THE BIDEN REGIME. It is a pretty simple argument to make. The problem is getting the right people to make it and push the facts into the media stories everywhere. This is something the republicans do not know how to do and they backdown at the first signs of attack by those who wish to run their own narrative, as false as it might be.
The event was a political stunt, no one denies it. Rove just might be the architect and we know what a snake he is. A Bush Republican through and through whose waning political influence is looking for a boost by riding the popularity of a governor DeSantis and knocking down MAGA and PTrump.
However, it really did serve a big purpose of showcasing the wealthy, elite left who champion the open border illegal immigration as long as they don’t have to have it anywhere near them or their homes. They rejected these poor abused, misused, illegals instead of welcoming them and taking them into their community. They got rid of them as fast as they could. That should be the angle played by those in the MAGA camp and by DeSantis and his money men if they want to make anything good politically out of this.
The media is steering the perceptions again and they will win out if not pushed back strongly against their blooming narrative because what lingers in the minds of the public is what counts. It needs to be countered loudly and strongly with facts and brutal truths about the laying waste of our border, our country and our American way of life.
All he has t,o say is, I tried to build a wall, then list Congressional members who voted against it
Why didn’t Ron grab people off those “Midnight Run” flights into Jacksonville and send them somewhere else? Why is he plying footsie with Abbott?
Exactly- every flight should have been greeted and turned away.
That should be the priority.
OBidens sneaky flights are not allowed.
DeSantis and many don’t want open borders – that should include the state border.
“… greeted and turned away.” (?!)
Only if supplying parachutes for the next leg of the flight. Otherwise fighter escort to international waters, or country of origin.
The available, knowledgeable, and skilled contractor was available in Texas. Rove is headquartered in Texas.
He did not coordinate this MV thing with Abbott.
Fwiw, I’m suspicious of Abbott… i don’t trust him yet.
If this was, indeed, a Rove brainchild, it gives more insight into the GOPe strategy for helping their candidates masquerade as maga. Their main weapon, abortion, was taken away with the overturning of Roe v Wade, so now they can’t use that as ‘the squirrel’ in their game of ‘hey, look at the squirrel’ leading up to elections anymore.
The MAGA organizers should punish a regular journal called MAGAzine.
“publish”
Imitation anything, is NOT as good, let alone EVER better than the real thing.
Maple syrup, vanilla extract, just about ANYTHING.
Mostly, a poor imitation of the real thing, that doesn’t benefit by close inspection.
Did, said nothing about the MAL raid, in his State, fespite DeSantis being THE top law enforcement officer of the state, but used State funds for a campaign stunt, for a NATIONAL Campaign, yielding little benefit to the people of Florida.
Way to go, Ron.
The same asshat advisors who came up with this stunt, told you to NOT say the 2020 election was Stolen.
Bingo! Kinda like DJT nominating Sessions for DoJ!
When will we shed these folks who lack judgment?
How about some names of candidates that would have been better?
You know, some America First folks, with a proven track record of draining the swamp, going after corruption, clean up DC, etc.
Oh, and would be a guaranteed confirmation by anti Trump Turkeyneck.
i noticed of late some seems to get upset with Sundance………as he often says…”The truth does not care about your feelings,”
stay your self Sundance…..thank you
The truth has no agenda.
But it’s not very popular 😉
This is why I love Sundance.
lolli…indeed
And he does the most astute political analysis I’ve ever seen. I’m blessed to read his things, and support him monthly… Well worth it. I feel privileged.
Ditto Missy. Yuge cheers from a frosty night in Ontario Canada. The furnace is on.
those with no clear argument about RDS’ perfidy are simply attacking the messenger…SD has given clear and convincing facts that display RDS’ disloyalty to any semblance of the America First movement…..just like the Cruz bots these people follow RDS as a religious icon and anyone who points out the flaws in their Idol is thus themselves an imperfect deliverer of news and has to be diminished……rather than explore the truth and substance behind the untrustworthiness of their political savior they would rather double down on their previous error in judgment…..as Mark Twain quipped ” it is easier to fool people again than convince them they have been fooled already.”
Hello bjorkdream,
Ditto your comments!
Here’s the thing for me regards everything that Sundance writes: He is and always will be, better informed
than me, better researched than me, better at explaining our current reality than me, and certainly just smarter than I am!
With those points made, I am blest to have found TCT and so grateful to him and this site, without which, I would know far, far less about what is going on.
As I live in FL, I personally am very appreciative for his articles specifically related to our Governor.
Yup, it is disappointing to see the forest through the trees where DS is concerned, but wishing it were not so is magical thinking.
I prefer reality, so be it!
Thank you for taking the time to say what you said re: Sundance.
I got to intro some great MAGA telegrammers in my group today to Sundance and the 2016 “Roadmap”.
We have all decided that political parties and delegate choices, are nothing more than ORGANIZED CRIME…And that we should be taking steps accordingly.
The truth has no agenda……..but a partisan of a particular politician often does.
I so very much agree and appreciate you posting this. It really matters. it is essential to understand.
at the very core of an informed society is that we have PEOPLE (real human beings) who are willing to investigate, analyze and then publish TRUTH.
what we do with it, becomes our responsibility.
but without it, we are what? at the whim of the same main stream maniacs who manufacture information to intentionally confuse society.
WE DO NO FLINCH
Agree 100%
That is the 2nd time that I have seen Sundance call them Migrants. No, they are ILLEGALS.
SD’s actual statement:
“There is a fine line between making a political point and being viewed as exploiting the desperation of vulnerable migrants.”
You do get that he’s describing the potential of DeSantis “being viewed as” something, which is not SD actually calling them that.
This is how it backfires. It gives Crist a talking point that will make sense to Florida voters.
They will wonder how it helps them for DeSantis to be spending their tax dollars to move illegals from Texas to MV?
All DeSantis has to ask Mr. “Party Fluid” is why he did less than nothing about implementing a State wide prescription Narcotics Database during his term. Millions of doses of oxycodone fell into the wrong hands under his watch.
Sundance agrees –
It doesn’t appear to be hurting DeSantis in the most recent polls.
Wait til it’s rewound and replayed 100s of times in the next5 weeks.
Fodder for endless Crist ads.
This is why I figured from the start that whoever came up with this bit almost didn’t care if it ultimately hurt RdS, if he loses Florida in his zeal for Washington, then the Left owns future Florida elections and therefore Washington.
Heads they win tails he loses.
I still think DeSantis wins as Governor, Crist will make sure of that.
The Uniparty is “all in” on making Ron DeSantis the “UnTrump” candidate, but he’s just a rebranded “traditional conservative” of the GOPe.
Or another Jeb, who also had $200 million “war chest”.
Here we go, weak kneed Republicans apologizing before they are even put on trial. Grow some spine people and push on.
Just put that number against the total cost to Florida for moving illegal migrants & transporting them back home. Then add the cost of housing & welfare benefits, food stamps, healthcare, etc. Then add the cost to the legal system. Put that number up against the 1.5M and let the voters decide which number is best for the FL taxpayer and budget.
I would have a hard time picking between Trump and Desantis. Obviously Trump has better intentions but some of his hiring choices were so bad (yes reasons) that he couldn’t drain the swamp….tough call but I lean towards Trump
Not tough for me at all. DeSantis showed his true colors with his weak response to Mara Lago raid.
Weaker than Trump’s response to the people of HK ? Gotcha
Trump is massive disruptor to the political system in America.
If you don’t understand that by now I suggest you go back to 2015 and read all the Trump posts on this blog.
I am as familiar with what Trump has done as anyone here.
call up mitch mcconnell and complain
Wrong thread.
Hiring is done by the SENATE. The exception is the Presidents personal staff.
Its puzzling to encounter people who still blame President Trump for what the Swamp Guardian Senate did to thwart President Trump especially since Sundance has written many articles about the SENATES hiring blockades.
Personaly, I enjoyed watching President Trump take Swamp lemons and use those lemons to make MAGA lemonade.
“he couldn’t drain the swamp”. Conflating draining ie revealing what’s been hidden beneath the swamps surface with removal of what’s been revealed is common.
Obviously, President Trump did a spectacular job of revealing what has been hidden from most peoples view; not just in DC but around the world and throughout America.
Once again, Cozette gets it. Others….not so much.
Yes, Trump did make some poor personnel choices, but the ones who had to get Senate confirmation were pushed on him by DC RINOs. Christopher Wray was a Juan McCain recommendation. Dan Coats-Trumps first DNI–was recommended by the traitor Mike Pence.
I could on all night.
Yeah, I get it, Omarosa was a nightmare choice, as was allowing Jared Kushner and Ivanka to roam around the White House as de facto policy advisers.
Still, Trump was besieged by RINO backstabbers on all sides. People just don’t seem to understand that reality.
Ya think Trump would have learned by 2019 that Pence was not to be trusted, but Trump put him in charge of COVID response. Was PDJT forced to do that too? Did Mitch have the controls on that appointment? THE worst appointment of his presidency. We are paying the price every single day. Everything that has transpired is downstream of that appointment.
Exactly. Pres. I think Trump is a great LEADER. He did very well with what he had to work with.
He has a spectacular list of accomplishments to his name that any one would be proud to have.
He is a master at keeping track of events and can effectively use his savvy to properly act at the right time.
BTW I also consider that Sundance is a very effective leader with many of the same leadership characteristics. I noted early on that Sundance regularly publishes the LORD’S prayer; I wonder how many of our other great leaders ever thank and ask for GOD’S guidance, and accordingly show their allegiance in print !!!
Sorry.
Pres. Trump, I think, is ….
Tump got his political intro his first term, doubt he’ll make same mistake if dominion elects him again
Not sure he sees it the same as we do. 2019 Pence- COVID
that danger is always present, no matter the President. some of it is avoidable, most of it is a function of the type of people who get “recommended”, and always looks avoidable in 20.20 vision.
meaning: IF (big IF) DS gets nominated and wins in 2024, I can assure you his administration will be filled with bad actors. The only question will be: will he publicly call them out and fire them? Would he have the bona fides to do it? Or would he resist because the same people that will enter his administration are aligned with the same purpose and agenda of those who financed and launched his own political career?
Some things never change. politics is a gun fight with your political adversaries and a knife fight with those in your own party.
God Bless America
Wait, they got the 50 FROM Texas? I just assumed they were part of the number that had been sent to Florida by Brandon?
Yikes.
they did ROUTE them through FL so it looked good though….LOL
I thought like you also which makes this move by DeSantis scream political stunt to even a blind person.
You guys are funny. Of course it was a political “stunt”. That was the whole point of it! It exposed demonrat hypocrisy on immigration.
Win DeSantis.
If your intended goal is to expose something, get a new goal.
I wonder if this is why Kari Lake said that the DeSantis soy ploy was “not a good idea” (ie moved illegals further inland)
Kari Lake is light-years ahead of Ron DeSantis in common sense and logical thinking. She simply knows more about the things that matters to MAGA people.
We are drowning in illegal aliens down here in Texas so I’ll just say thanks for taking some off our hands.
He should have sent illegal migrants who came to Florida not Texas.
Does look like he is exposed legally regarding misuse of a Florida taxpayer-funded program that was specifically allocated for removal of illegal aliens from the State of Florda, not from Texas. Am curious to see if the left ultimately gives him a pass or goes full bore after him in court. Not sure what to expect.
On the one hand Dems would love to use this situation to hurt him in the Governor race. But on the other hand Dems and GOP establishment might want to give him a pass because they also want to see DeSantis survive this situation so that he is able to run against President Trump in 2024. If DeSantis runs against PDJT it would fracture the base and regardless of who won the nomination (I’m betting on PDJT) a part of the base that might sit it out the general election.
Martha’s Vineyard was a brilliant in many ways, but terribly executed. He’s known a long time that non-citizens were being dropped off in Florida –why did he not track them down in Florida rather than go to Texas which would have kept him in compliance with the Florida taxpayer funded program. To top it off he tried to mislead by having the plane do a quick stop in Florida enroute to Martha’s Vineyard.
Smacks of disregard for the law, sneakiness (routing w stop in Florida) and inabiltiy to think things through in advance. Glad this wasn’t a national level project or foreign affairs or war-time planning –Glitter seeking headlines matter more than following the law and more than the ability to think things thru.
PDJT would never have illegaly misused taxpayer funds.
He did not even have to track them down. Just wait at the airports where they arrive, hold them one night and ship/bus them to the Democrats. Wherever.
I agree. I thought they were from Florida. That was not a smart move. It now overshadows the original intent of exposing the Dem hypocrisy and does look political.
Who cares where they were from? That’s the whole point. ONce they are in the country illegally, they can end up anywhere. It just highlights the broken system of pandering to illegality. They can come through any spot on the border and freely move about the country to collect benefits. There is no incentive for them to act legally in any manner and stay in any state if they experience challenges, especially legal ones. They just move on to another state. This is just an illustration of the problem.
And yet, the Dems want to give them voting rights, on top of it all. Please God, let there be sanity in the USA.
Wow, okay, so CT management is now officially anti DeSantis. No problem, he’ll still win Governor in a landslide over Covid passport Christ. You do know, however, that Trump is done. So if not Trump, and not DeSantis, then who ?
so says you….I think there are 100+M MAGA supporters who would argue with your contention…..not only are there not charges even filed yet there are none PRECLUDING him from running or assuming the office of POTUS …..I direct you to US Constitution Article II for the qualifications
The truth hurts. DeSantis threw in with the Bushies and is going to get burned.
I thought he was smarter than that, but lust for power can make smart people do dumb things.
The Bushies would never have sent them to Martha’s Vineyard. They don’t have the guts.
He is definitely NOT getting burned. I’m Team Trump but I love DeSantis’ move here—even the illegal aliens themselves loved it. “Vulnerable migrants”? I don’t think so.
Why is Trump done, anyway?
Trump is done because for 6 years there’s a relentless push by FBI DOJ and Congress to besmirch inquire, investigate Trump. It will not stop. It will never stop.
He was outmaneuvered with AG Sessions recusal, outmaneuvered by Pence removing Flynn, outmaneuvered in building a wall, outmaneuvered by Barr, outmaneuvered by Ryan, outmaneuvered (back stabbed) by McConnell, outmaneuvered by Congress in two impeachments, outmaneuvered by Lawfare, outmaneuvered in a stolen election by five state legislatures. Outmaneuvered by Mark Meadows in a -hone call to get him to resign. Outmaneuvered in selecting a FISA judge that signed a warrant to spy on him. Outmaneuvered being told to store documents at Mar-Largo.
In effect deep state is controlling Trump everyday through government and state legislatures and officials actions.
What EVERY citizens needs to understand (noting evidence in the past ten years) is this federal and state governments does what it wants, when it wants.
Doesn’t pass a budget.
Stifles energy production.
Tells you to buy an electric car.
Requires solar panels on roofs.
Mandates experimental fluid injected in your body to keep your job.
Funds foreign wars without Congressional debate.
Brings folks to trial lawfully defending themselves.
Coordinates with MSM to remove free speech and inquiry.
Passes laws to infringe lawfully bearing arms.
All while ignoring crime.
Finally nulling our voice through stealing an election.
And folks think this government will allow electing Trump, or any conservative on a national stage, (unless they’re bought) to win and ease our suffering?
Regardless what you think or hope, in the present configuration of our Republic, we’ve become part of the collective that we cannot admit to.
Great post. I would add, the biggest outmaneuver of all was with COVID which was the direct cause of mail in ballots and the steal. Not to mention all things related. Game, set, match.
And once again, Mike issues profundities. We are in total agreement.
AND YET, PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOWED THE WORLD
what ought to be
what is
His work has not gone unnoticed. The amount of sunlight applied in just 4 years will have forever changed the conscience and the efforts of at least one generation of Americans.
We only noticed because he forced the notification. He took it to the biggest pulpit there is..and never backed down.
That is what I admit to.
God Bless America
ps..yes, he will get indicted, yes, his will get tried, yes, he will be convicted and sentenced.
and YES THE PEOPLE WILL RESPOND.
God Bless America
Trump cracked the door, it’s up to us to kick it open and have our revenge.
Why are you assuming PDJT wont be running?
Because the Deep State is going to off him.
They have no right to be in the country.
===
but they should not be pawns either
They made the decision to be pawns.
They made the decision to be placed in a situation to pay off the cartel coyotes who got them this far. They knew and know the total risks involved.
Their choice is to, for a lifetime, work to pay off the cartels for their transport. Extortion, if you will.
They will have to pay or risk losing their families to tortuous violence south of the border or here—its no mistake that “they are not sending their very best”. And that is another double edged sword.
Jesse Watters on Fox News just showed a clip of Mainstream Press being “hijacked” on a flight by OBAMA’s administration couple years ago. The press were not happy and were taking an Obama representative to task on the flight, one gal looked like Katie Couric
first impression, it’ll take tracking the clip down to get the details right
at about the 15-minute mark
They’ re moving these human beings, albeit illegals, like livestock. All it will take is a bus accident spilling cargo. Not a good look. DeSantis has overplayed it. Seems cruel.
Didn’t it used to be that illegals took responsibility themselves for acquiring transportation, finding jobs etc. When did those things start being provided as part of the deal.
it USED to be LEGAL immigrants had to have a sponsor that was financially responsible for their needs for their first 5 years in the country…..now with sanctuary areas both protecting AND providing benefits it does not require the newly arrived ILLEGAL ALIENS to participate in the underground economy or “hide in the shadows” as they will be provided for in some instances BETTER than the legal residents and citizens of the US
Most instances.
Exactly, Kroesus. The sponsorship system of legal migration insulates from exploitation. We need to return to this system for the good of all.
Yes, that’s the way it worked and it still does for those who go through the legal process. I know several (Denmark and Norway) going through years of our red tape to obtain legal permanent residency here. They are both married to Americans and are separated for months at a time.
Like most other things, our laws are harshest on the ones who obey the laws.
Exactly
They signed consent forms.
Can they read English?
The consent form is in Spanish as well directly below the English version.
That’s what the migrants signed up for when they entered the country illegally-to end up as chattel in one way or another and become exploited. This illustrates why immigration should be legal. When you have a sponsor who can vouch for you – economically, etc. – you are less vulnerable to exploitation.
They should be deported because they violated federal immigration law and crossed the border illegally, instead of being transported about the country.
That should remain the focus, and not whether or not they were sent to the town they wanted, or were unable to get a job, etc.
Who gives a syte if it looks cruel? These imigrints (misspelled on purpose) are lawless law breakers delivered by the cruel people tearing this country apart!!
Now they are flipping the narrative, like they always do, and accuse, waging fingers and lawsuits in tow, good people of doing what they have doing all along!
And the thing is, we capitulate because we are weak!
I say efem! So tired of this over and oveer.
They had them in a Dornier 328 Jet. That’s a pretty comfy ride when configured with 30 seats.
Quite frankly, politics as a system needs to be abolished.
There is not a single person on the face of the earth who should have to live their lives dependent on game players, Republican or Democrat.
President Trump is the most honest and straight forward of any person in office in my lifetime.
I can’t think of another person in local, state or federal government that I trust or think is worthy of making decisions about my life.
Perhaps it’s time to build a very strong military and abolish the rest,
Just the fact that two private clubs control our elections is ludicrous.
I was in the military in the 80’s. It was a massive shell game. Let’s say you have 12 units and 4 are deployed at any one time. To get those 4 up to snuff you ravaged the other 8. That seems OK, right? But the 8 units reported bogus readiness numbers.
Did you know that the US Military was involved in over 100 ‘interventions’ since 1990?
So are you suggesting no military either?
Perhaps with just them it would be manageable to find a few honest people to put in charge.
With all eyes on this one group, they’d have a hard time being corrupt.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Hence decentralization, checks and balances, the Constitution and rule of law.
Hence the adage reminding Americans that the price of their freedoms is ETERNAL vigilance.
As President Trump keeps saying, “its time to Wake Up. Its time to pitch in to help Save America”.
A start would be remove voting machines and go back to paper ballots.
I was in the military also and the guy is right. Way too many generals and not enough soldiers. Way too many JAG Corps pencil pushers (DeSantis was one) and not enough well armed grunts and equipment.
Exactly. IT is time for smaller govt and smaller gov budgets at all levels.
So you are suggesting an American junta?
With the current DOD Sorority of Woke Weanies?
I don’t think so.
They are nation invaders.
The Russians invade Ukraine.
They invade America and in far-far-far greater numbers.
And they get rewarded…or their children get rewarded, with things like “Appointments” to our nation’s military academies. Appointments by our elected officials…
And I know of at least one. From a sanctuary city.
That makes my blood boil.
I also agree with many comments stating that this should be a one off, maybe a two-fer. But that’s it. Any more than that and it turns ugly.
So the Press was upset because aliens were flown to Martha’s Vineyard?
And now the Press is upset because aliens are disappointed they WEREN’T flown to Delaware?
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- – – – K
I guess
Cannot help but wonder if the “Rovian” crowd are sabotaging RD as well. He may be taking corporate money, but the GOPe WANT to operate as a minority party so as to deflect blame for their swampiness.
good instincts
That makes a lot of sense to me…they’ve sucked him in and now he’s toast
Perhaps. Or perhaps he wasn’t quite playing by their rules and now they want to toast him. They hate anyone with a backbone.
Or he is part of their club and wants to be President.
DeSantis needs a solid check into the boards to keep his ego in-check. He’s starting to play the “national” game, no doubt because he has republican operatives talking sweet nothings in his ear 24×7.
He needs to focus on Florida. He isn’t going to get elected as President in 2024. It’ll be Trump or a democrat, but not DeSantis. Insane amounts of money can make a person do insane things. He best be careful.
Newsome would wipe DeSantis off the map if they meet. Trust me, I know about these things.
Hmmm….
ari, I know these things, too, and I do not agree with your assessment. Oh, and I have the receipts to back it up.
And despite being as much or more “conservative” as the late great–and much missed–Rush Limbaugh, or even the beatified Ronaldus Reagan, I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that NO Republican will win in 2024–assuming we even have elections.
Almost the entire country is denial–we’re rationalizing. We–in the macro–cannot admit the reality of our circumstances, as that would require taking some action. And taking *action* is something most people simply cannot, or will not, do.
We live in a banana republic and We the People cannot grasp that reality. Until we do, we will suffer greatly.
DeSantis (DS) has been annoyingly praised recently as a kind of perfect super hero while President Trump is being callously discarded by some “on the right.” One of the most disappointing examples was on Gutfeld when Sonnie Johnson (of Sirius XM Patriot) was asked if the Dems now see DeSantis as the bigger threat to be POTUS.
She said (condensed) “It’s because they’re right. DS knows how to use the levers of gov’t in a way PT did not…PT’s learning curve was his biggest problem and the reason he only had 4 years. He had to figure how to do things. He didn’t know where he needed people…If DS became Prez he would come in with a plan, how to do it, where to put the people strategically in place, how to follow through. DS knows how to use gov’t force.” (She did harshly criticize the Republicans that opposed PT however.)
Gutfeld replied, “That’s a really good point,” but at least Tyrus praised PT “the great disruptor” etc and didn’t fawn over DS. Selective memory can distort our opinions and Sonnie never mentioned the serious Collusion distractions, the hoaxes that eliminated Gen Flynn and Manafort and so on. She also underestimates the power of the Dem’s MSM on the national scene, the power of the Deep State when they focus on a political enemy and CTH’s research on donations to DS.
So much could have been avoided if Comey was fired on day 1.
We just would have had Wray for longer. McConnell forced Wray in.
Perhaps if Stefanik or other elected representatives dug deeper in Comey’s response. ‘Because of the sensitivity of the matter”
“It’s because they’re right. DS knows how to use the levers of gov’t in a way PT did not…”
And yet PDJT regularly lifted up rocks in DC, that Ron wont ever touch…
What if the goal here is just to hurt the surge in Hispanic voters supporting MAGA candidates going into the midterms? Imo, that’s why they overturned abortion when then did. We must remember the goal of the GOP is not to enact policy, or even win, but to eliminate MAGA.
see: Lindsey Graham
still has a hard-on about abortion
continuing to fire up Democrats about it, driving Dem turnout
thanks Miss Lindsey
The possibly of Republicans taking the House and Senate. is the source of much anxiety for Miss Lindsey
Good point.
Exactly! Sundance expressed a concern about political games being used to break up the MAGA coalition. And since Latinos have become a growing segment of that coalition, your theory makes sense.
Sadly, it appears that the MV operation was quite intentional on the part of DeSantis’ handlers.
Trumps story of the snake comes to mind. Desantis didn’t listen. LOL
Sundance has written a half a dozen essays on DeSantis in the past few months explaining how DeSantis has become a bought and paid for politician for the GOP donor class. Look them up.
Yeah, so why did DeSantis send people to Texas to find illegals? Why didn’t he ask his sheriffs in FL and remove 50 from FL?
I have asked this question over and over.
Why come to San Antonio? We are not a border town as Ron stated.
We have a processing center, but so does Jacksonville, Fl.
“We are not a border town as Ron Stated”
San Antonio is Northern Mexico.
Pull into any gas station on 1-35 between Laredo and San Antonio and listen to conversation. 95% Spanish .
People “working for” DS may very well have bought and paid for allegiances that aren’t to him. Nothing of this is shrewd, and DS is nothing if not shrewd.
Why to tx, for illegals?
uhhh….
Collaborating on an efficient use of resources?
if texas was looking for alligators, it would probably take less time to find some in Florida?
if florida was looking for oil, it would be probably take less time to find some in Texas?
p.s.
where do people think that there is a higher concentration of illegal border crossers? (tx. nm, az, ca)
hint, approx. 8000 people are crossing the us / mx. border.
p.s.
1.not inviting illegal immigrants,
and
2. deporting the illegals south, not north,
would be a more effective use of resources.
[ and the federal government has not been doing that for 1.5 years, while motivating the media to under report the truth of invasion of people, drugs, etc. ]
The under reporting of the gene therapy treatment lack of efficacy,
the under reporting of 2020 election fraud,
and over imprisonment of j6, and over reporting of (non)-insurrection
have a similar preplanned mass psychosis overlay of mis-communications to the public – for years. (not good)
Love thy neighbors
Seeking the whole truth…
This was a massive win. The Left was hoisted on their own petard. They were mocked and ridiculed internationally for days (and it still continues). While not a complete game changer, it ripped the mask completely off. Ay attempt to tarnish this big win is trying way too hard and completely counterproductive. Like most Americans, I don’t give a flying fig who gets the job done or who gets the credit. I care only about results. It’s amazing what can be accomplished when you don’t care about who gets the credit. The corrupt media is trying ery hard to change the subject, I see no reason to help them.
Trump is the Only person who has proven himself to not be under the influence of others antithetical to Liberty and America. He has remained steadfast in his commitments, Love for America, and suffered greatly for that. He walked the Talk.
Whether or not DeSantis is cut from the same cloth remains to be seen. Maybe he is. Maybe he isn’t. Maybe he’s sincere. Maybe he’s pretending. Let his own actions prove or disprove that fact. He will, if you pay attention.
November is a critical time to Deny any Dem majorities in either House. It is a beach head, a stronghold moment.
Focus upon denying Power to the present nest of crazies.
Pay attention to every thing that every Dem, Rino, GOPe, etc, “Does”. Not what they say, but what they actually do.
2024 might be the death knell of woke commie liberals, or it might be the end of America as we know it. But it isn’t 2024 yet.
This is the time to be careful, critical, constant, dedicated, resolute, and unflappable. No dumb mistakes. No emotions.
Cold Anger. Absolute Focus. Steadfast Unrelenting commitment. Take Nov 2022. Then Take Nov 2024. In that Order.
There was no crime in what was done. Contrast this with Biden rounding up illegals and flying them in the dark of night all over the country. Those Biden illegals didn’t just walk up to those planes by themselves without some cajoling. I don’t see any difference. If DeSantis is exploiting illegals, so is Biden. What the left and their allies in the media won’t tell you is that without Biden allowing over 2 million illegals per year into the country, there would be no need for DeSantis or Abbott or Ducey to send buses full of illegals to sanctuary cities.
Sorry, SD, I don’t see any problem for DeSantis on this one, despite my hatred of Rove, assuming he is involved.
We always let the media divert from the real story – all the illegal immigration though an open border- to one which tries to blame Republicans for being mean to illegal immigrants.
“I don’t see any problem” =/= there is no problem to see.
Thank you SD for pointing out things to notice that many “don’t see” at first, for many different reasons.
Noticing problems when they occur can often prevent those problems from becoming life threatening. However, ignoring problems or minimizing them doesn’t have a great track record.
Once again, thanks Sundance. Your my favorite canary in our mine.
He was.set.up by the same crowd who screwed the pooch on signatures.
Agree that he was set up. If Rove was involved it’s because he’s an evil rabid dog who thrives on destroying anything his ilk can’t control. It makes little sense in the idea of it being to DS advantage to take illegals from Texas when he has plenty in FL. Finding a group of them is as simple as going to the right bar on a Friday night.
What is your source supporting your statement about Rove?
Without a source, a statement of fact is invalid.
My source? Ask the author of this article !
Try re-reading ‘this’ article 2 or 3 times and you might ‘see’ its all innuendo
Karma
Oh, and I don’t care how “desperate” they are (cry me a river) — THEY CHOSE to come here. THEY CHOSE to violate our laws.
It’s about time WE become as “desperate” to SAVE our country as they are to INVADE it.
And actively importing illegal invaders isn’t making them pawns?
And just like that, I get an email from DS grubbing for $$$$
All due respect Sundance, your’e spinning this to suit your own distrust of the Ron. The Left does way worse than this and they just plow through, DeSantis should do the same.
your as bad as those saying that since Ozero was ineligible it is now OK for the law-abiding patriots to run someone NOT meeting constitutional standards……either you LIVE up to your virtues and morals or you do not….you do NOT cut corners and break rules and then claim you did it the “right way”
Kushner appears to agree about DeSantis. As for me, I’ll stick with the governor over Jared. I’m not willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater. DeSantis is not a McConnell.
https://redstate.com/bonchie/2022/09/22/jared-kushner-takes-shot-at-ron-desantis-in-fox-news-interview-n631510
Jarad is the prime example of rich employing illegals.
If it is true that DeSantis has gotten sucked into the right wing of the Uniparty, hopefully he’ll come to his senses before it’s too late…
Oh, the poor migrants who are here illegally and were illegally recruited by George Soros.
The point is not that the migrants were “duped” but that the Diversity, Inclusion and Equity scumbags in Martha’s Vineyard treated the Venezuelans just like every MAGA voter knew they would – like human garbage.
DeSantis exposed their hypocrisy. PERIOD.
Let us know if you need us Ron. Florida Man stands ready. We’ll kick them all out.
The Texas recruiting makes no sense, dumb move , too much of an unneeded orchestrated stunt, could have just as easily been done more honestly with Florida aliens moved into Florida by Biden – But why connect Rove ( who creeps me out ) – maybe yes /maybe no – So far haven’t seen him associated with DeS. – Has he been advising behind the curtain .
Resigned DS hater’s tweet:
P Trump’s son-in-law is very concerned about the illegal border jumper’s situation. What a crazy time this is. I don’t know if he expressed any concern for the American citizens being overwhelmed by the millions of illegals adding serious challenges to basic services etc.
Selective edit. Watch the full video

I really hope these idiots run him against Trump, I really do. They’re going to destroy his political career. They’re going to blow up the Republican party. It’ll be like Georgia in 2020. Hell, maybe it’ll finally force MAGA to start it’s own America First or Patriot Party 💪🔥❤️🇺🇸
They won’t – they’re trying to make Trump bow out and present DeSantis as the next best thing. And hedging that bet by going along with/coordinating black bag operations to make Trump “ineligible.” The UniParty won’t outright confront the base (really the base of more than one party now) – if it came to that they’d just coordinate another steal.
Wow, what a great comment. That makes sense to me ❤️🇺🇸👍
Reason RDS had to grab the illegal aliens from TX not Fl, because a FL grab would run the risk of grabbing a long time FL resident, who voted for him, and just happened to also be illegal alien. That would have really pissed off a lot of supporters!
I have been reading a lot about this whole mess. Some stories say a flight did occur but did not land in the area intended, but close by…with only the crew on board. Christ’s campaign is working this to max advantage. He supposedly got a million in donations immediately after some of these recruiting details leaked. Supposedly the Latino voters are pretty unhappy.
Maybe DeSantis wants to lose this election and go straight to the POTUS one?
“Supposedly”.
Lol.
“Traitorous”.
Perhaps reconsider turning a once powerful word, A death sentence word, into a word that means nothing more than ” I don’t like what you said”.
“DeSantis 2024”
Hopefully Ron will be re elected and will still be Florida’s governor in 2024.
After that, perhaps the young Harvard trained lawyer will run to become Florida’s AG.
The more state AG Lawfare Warriors protecting Americans from Fedzilla monsters, the better.
The virtue signaling left made false promises of sanctuary status. If there is fraud or exploitation, as between those making false promises and those trying to get desperate people to those making false promises, the guilt goes to the left.
