Apparently, the Florida takeover of the Walt Disney Co. Reedy Creek special development zone has run into a snag. As normally happens in such events, within the battle of wits the government will always lose; that’s ultimately why they need guns.
Days before the five DeSantis appointees showed up to take control of Walt Disney World zoning board in Orange County, the former board held a public hearing to codify pre-existing rules and covenants extending for “21 years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King Charles III, king of England living as of the date of the declaration.” Essentially, the new board is moot, except for deciding on roadways and bridges.
As a result, a long and protracted legal battle is now anticipated, which will likely cost Florida taxpayers millions in lawyer fees as the appointees of the board try and challenge the construct put into place prior to their arrival. Either that, or the board will be reduced to a weekly meeting for coffee and donuts as they discuss things of minor relevance to the district.
FLORIDA – […] Ahead of an expected state takeover, the Walt Disney Co. quietly pushed through the pact and restrictive covenants that would tie the hands of future board members for decades, according to a legal presentation by the district’s lawyers on Wednesday.
The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District’s new Board of Supervisors voted to bring in outside legal firepower to examine the agreement, including a conservative Washington, D.C., law firm that has defended several of DeSantis’ culture war priorities.
“We’re going to have to deal with it and correct it,” board member Brian Aungst Jr. said. “It’s a subversion of the will of the voters and the Legislature and the governor. It completely circumvents the authority of this board to govern.”
Disney defended its actions.
“All agreements signed between Disney and the district were appropriate and were discussed and approved in open, noticed public forums in compliance with Florida’s Government in the Sunshine law,” an unsigned company statement read. (read more)
Meanwhile… The economic priorities of the residents of Florida linger unattended. Working class Floridians being absolutely crushed with massive inflation and unavoidable increases in the cost of living. Ultimately, perhaps this is a telling forecast of what might happen on a national scale if RdS ever gained higher office.
Today Florida’s Zelenskyy is visiting a Georgia gun store to promote his new book.
(Politico) – […] There’s a trip to Pennsylvania and Long Island this weekend followed by a reported visit to Tennessee early next week. DeSantis is scheduled to be at Hillsdale College in Michigan — yes, the same institution the governor wants New College to emulate — for a panel discussion, reception and dinner on April 6.
The middle of April includes stops in Ohio and crucial early primary state New Hampshire. And the end of the month is coming into focus as well: DeSantis is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the Utah Republican Party convention on April 22. Puck reports that DeSantis will be in Austin, Texas, that same evening for a reception and dinner hosted by Jon Lonsdale and his wife Taylor. The report says that business and political contacts of Lonsdale, an investor and co-founder of Palantir, are expected to attend.
Then, DeSantis will head to Jerusalem, Israel, for just his second trip abroad since becoming governor in 2019. Amid the recent turmoil in the country, DeSantis will talk about the importance of the U.S.-Israeli relationship during a April 27 speech at the Jerusalem Post and Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem.

JUST IN MUST WATCH: @karlrove, who slipped up last week and admitted on @foxnews he’s a part of Ron DeSantis’s 2024 presidential campaign just said @GovRonDeSantis is using his book as an excuse to launch a national tour ahead of his presidential announcement at the end of the FL… https://t.co/QRiNaoeFnB pic.twitter.com/7JLZvIe76A

The mouse that roared “April Fools” and snookered DeXX and his GOPe brain trust.
The biggest fool the state of Florida ever had.
Desantis, the GOPe’s latest lackey……
jeb’s and karl’s pawn in their “bush league” chess game. Losers, one and all.
They have been outfoxed by a mouse.
He really should buy a fishing boat and become its captain and spend his life after being governor taking out tourists on fishing trips.
That’s about the only thing a Yale/Harvard combo can handle.
“Let’s go Brandon and the democrats and GOPe, especially DeXX and his gang.
Don’t confuse “outsmarted” with “cooperative”.
Should be considered payback for how Matt Tyrmand treated James O’Keefe.
We don’t get many wins, but we do get one now and then.
But I’ve got this disturbing, sneaking suspicion that our “wins” aren’t really wins at all.
They just seem like wins.
Yes! Just like Citizens United. Boy, I thought that was a win. Even when you think you win you lose. There ain’t no winning till Jesus Christ returns to rule and reign.
Everything is a fraud. Start there and you’ll never be disapointed by a swamp rat.
any chance that the FL GOP doesn’t change the laws and forces him to resign to run? I’ve got the impressions they don’t care for him to much.
Florida is MAGA country………
DeXX is a known double crosser, aka a liar and has taken $$ from the GOPe to run for president against President Trump.
A MEGA MAGA just took over the republican party in Florida.
DeXX is already lying to the Florida citizens that he isn’t running for President.
Yup, I don’t think they care much for him.
I’m a Floridian, and DeSwampis ran to be our governor all the while knowing perfectly well he had absolutely NO INTENTION of completing his term. He used his constituents as a stepping stone on his way to DC, and nothing more. That should tell you all you need to know about his integrity deficit! That, and the people who are supporting him.
Please consider your DeSwampis moniker pilfered and accept my thanks.
I heard hangin out with Rove and Ryan will cause testicular atrophy!
I’d hate to be a ‘Floridian’ nowadays. With all of these ‘book tours’, etc. by the Gov., who’s in charge? As I’ve indicated in the past, it may very well be that his own constiuents will vote against him in the primaries (‘if’ he runs against Pres. Trump). He really needs to focus on the job at hand.
And I wonder if he is using Florida tax payer money for all these trips or if he is using campaign money for them?
Good point! Something somebody should be looking into…
Can’t use campaign money if you’re not running for office, that would be illegal.
But…possibly tax payers money.
Trump campaign alleges Florida taxpayers footing bill for DeSantis ‘campaign travel’:
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/trump-campaign-savages-desantis-taxpayer-funded-campaign-travel
FL congress decided you cannot FOIA those records anymore. So much for the sunshine state.
Of course he’s using taxpayer money. His security detail are all Florida Troopers and they are raking in the overtime hand over fist. You can bet that.
Like many of us have stated, the POLICE are just criminal jackboots hired by the politicos and NOT the people, they just use our stolen monies to pay their “servants”.
Just as SCOTUS determined police do NOT have any obligation (even though they are paid for by our stolen ‘tax” dollars) to protect, save, or help the citizenry because it was not specified in the USA Constitution.
The same can be clearly shown that not one alphabet agency is along with no mention of Law Official Enforcement.
If it’s not constitutional, it’s not legal.
“The powers of the legislature are defined and limited; and that those limits may not be mistaken or forgotten, the constitution is written,” – John Marshall
Marbury vs Madison “the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.” – John Marshal
States are needed as when they granted some specific limited powers of authority to the newly created federal government with the USA Constitution (CONTRACT/COMPACT) while ALL other powers of authority remain with the States.
“If ever this vast country is brought under a single government, it will be one of the most extensive corruption.” – Thomas Jefferson
“Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.” – Thomas Jefferson
“To consider judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions is a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.” – Thomas Jefferson
“There is no justification for taking away individuals’ freedom in the guise of public safety.” – Thomas Jefferson
“Hence as a private man has a right to say what wages he will give in his private affairs, so has a Community to determine what they will give and grant of their substance for the Administration of public affairs.” – Samuel Adams
Why try to pass a bill to HIDE his Travel info, if he isn’t causing THEM to pay for it?
He did make them a promise that he would give them 4 more ‘good years’ if they re-elected him, so he has already lied to his used to be people…..who needs other liar in an office? We already got one there now. …..but he was Selected, not elected. IMO
Governors do not run states and Presidents do not run countries. People who believe such things have been brainwashed.
I saw read rumors of Disney’s actions for weeks, yet Desantis did nothing.
The Mickey Mouse Club song (I think)
refrain –
Mickey Mouse
Donald Duck! [quacking voice]
Mickey Mouse
Donald Duck! [quacking voice]
The Bush GOPe and the Governor WAY overestimated each other .
Wayne State University suspended an English professor with pay Monday for posting on his Facebook page that people would be “more admirable to kill a racist, homophobic, or transphobic speaker” rather than “shout them down.”
Steven Shaviro. Yep,as usual.
https://eu.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2023/03/27/wayne-state-suspends-professor-about-social-media-post-urging-violence/70053527007/
It’s Official. Every Governor in the US is hot garbage.
The reason every governor is hot garbage is because the United States is a festering corpse. Satan’s biggest prize in capturing nations is the late United States of America.
Anyone tied to the globalist Bush team is a loser. 41 and 43 both delivered freedom crushing programs on We the People. DeS will be another loser if we are stupid enough to elect him.
Can’t wait to see how much Disney donates to the DeSanctimonius 2024 campaign.
A man who can be hoodwinked by Disney, doesn’t need to stand as president with a deep state ready and waiting with a fully armed hood.
NEITHER does the man who is in DEEP Collusion with the Disney Corpse (play on words is fully intended.)
Somebody needs to keep an eye on the foreign bank accounts of the previous board.
So… while Mickey Mouse easily dupes the new Board (making a JOKE of it along the way with their humorous tie to the King of England), DeSantis is on a book tour in another State.
Got it.
Wink-wink-nod-nod!
Yeah sure, that’s the ticket.
Related to the topic. Disney World in Orlando only has about 50,000 employees. What’s not known in that figure is the number of job they have created. Especially in the hospitality industry, housing industry and many others that were created from the Disney company. Disney made Orlando a major city that would have otherwise been off the beat. I think this whole thing was contrived to make Ron look like a strong leader while giving Disney a venue for exemption status. Ronny is being played like a puppet. Many strings attached.
Spoiler Alert!!! This is what the GOPe always wanted! They support Wokeism – they just act like they don’t!

Hey Ron…….might be a Good Idea to focus on Florida! Leave the Oval Office for the Big Man, just saying
Someone Please try to tell me “CONVINCINGLY” that DESANCTIMONIOUSNESS WAS “NOT” COMPLICIT WITH DISNEY, in BLINDSIDING the STATE OF FLRIDA regarding the Changes that DeSanctimoniousness PROMISED he was bringing to this little Hell Hole of Pedophilia. (Not really. Honest!)
LOL!
HaHaHaHaHa.
Ronnie DeRINO got beaten by a Mouse.
I pointed this out here over a week ago.
Not who you want negotiating with Xi and Putin.
The poor DeSimps are running out of talking points.
Sooooo Ronny is NOT ready to play hardball. Attorney? Just got schooled
Ron is a great draft pick that might go bust
Hyped like a Heisman prospect.
Opps. Overrated?
Fox just reported Bragg finally got his indictment.
“Florida’s Zelenskyy.” And the Mickey hat to boot.
Priceless.
Well maybe Desantis will be happy now, Trump just got indicted by Manhattan Grand Jury according to Gatewaypundit.
He totally blew the Disney governance and tax thing. He’s Disney’s new Goofy
Geeks and Gamers has a different take on this issue. It might interest people to check it out.
I will. But Ryan and Jeremy are chummy with Benny Johnson, who just so happens to be part of that Pushaw group of “conservative influencers”. They also relocated to FL I think. To be fair, I don’t listen to any Benny Johnson content to gauge how impartial he is.
I like these guys and Gary and people in that trans-Atlantic network’s cultural views, but sometimes they are political neophytes.
President Trump has just been indicted by the Manhattan Grand Jury per Fox News, Daily Mail, NYT …
Trump was just indicted
Of course.
PRES. TRUMP HAS BEEN INDICTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My money is on Ron is pretending he was unaware. The intent was to make this a messy, protracted litigation to delay the outcome while the FL Bar creates its own cottage industry akin to what has happened in the swamp, but without the trappings of bars and goons walking the floor.
Disney theater.
The District is a state creation. The state has all the power. The District could be terminated, its financial obligations transferred to a new District.
Exactly, whatever Disney thinks they just did the Republican Florida Legislature can undo!
I remember when Obummer coned Mt. Rushmore during a budget impasse. Were it me, I’d cone Disney World.
Yep Hope it happens
“As normally happens in such events, within the battle of wits the government will always lose; that’s ultimately why they need guns.”
…..and Ron still can’t get a suit that fits….it’s beginning to look like his wardrobe is not a fluke, but a plan. Why? Just to look all folksy? Maybe it’s his version of “is this where I git me a huntin’ license?”
If the new Board actually has authority over “roads and bridges”, declaring them “closed” until the power grab is reversed might be fruitful.

Laura is a great reporter!
Embarrassing. Even if DeSantis knew it could happen but went through with it anyway- It’s embarrassing.
I suppose we’ll get crazy ass Nikki Fried as Gov next since no one is removing the machines.
de Sanctimonius was busy colluding with the GOPe to run for 2024 while Disney did a dirty and subverted him. Stupid asshola
I despise Karl Rove. George W nicknamed him “Turd Blossom” for a reason. I suspect his behind the scenes maneuvering has a lot to do with DeSantis’ falling poll numbers. Well, if you choose to work with a snake, expect to get bitten.
Ron got punked. No higher office than Gov. ever.
Karl Puffy Lips Rove is a moniker I read years ago
Got played by a mouse, a duck, and a … what IS Goofy? Not a good look for someone who wants to play international intrigue with the big boys.
Goofy is a dog.
Well Floridians … ? As PDJT is famous for asking … “Are you tired of LOSING yet?” Vote Donal Trump 2024 … and get back to “so MUCH WINNING!!!!”
Q: DID ZELENSKY TRAVEL BY COMMERCIAL JET OR BY PRIVATE JET? OR IN A MILITARY PLANE?
He should save his book for toilet paper in Ukraine ‘cos they’re gonna need it.
When Andrew Cuomo was running for governor of New York he campaigned more in Puerto Rico than he did in New York!
