Presidential Election

Channeling George Wallace, DeSantis Uses Education to Keep Blacks Down

September 3, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 21 Comments

ron desantis animatronics

Despite those idiotic “Build the Wall” campaign ads, he didn’t seem to be a Trump-style racist when he took office in 2019. There was hope he’d acknowledge our sad history and move us toward a more equitable society. But he didn’t. And he isn’t. Maybe the Napoleonically ambitious DeSantis decided white nationalism was his ticket to the Republican presidential nomination. His racism is less overt than Trump’s or George Wallace’s but almost as damaging.

desantis imperial governor

Why is Ron DeSantis’s campaign stalling? Current and former governors would say: Because he has become an imperial governor-– one who believes he is all-powerful and that all his decisions will be just applauded and never questioned or opposed.

DeSantis Wants Children to Be Ignorant, Intolerant and Narrow-Minded

August 27, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 30 Comments

desantis stop woke ont-trick pulpit

In Ron DeSantis’ Florida, teachers are expected to present a version of the world in which “gender” is not to be spoken of, “gay” likewise, there’s no climate crisis — the weather’s always changing! — Shakespeare needs to be toned down, the human body is disgusting, slavery had an upside, America is the best country that ever was and ever will be, and books that challenge any of these self-evident truths must be banned.

Hating Trump Is Corrupting Liberal Media

August 15, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 70 Comments

The left’s partisan journalists are still so fixated on hating Donald Trump and making sure he never returns to power that they will never cover the blunders, failures and crimes of the Bidens. The liberal media’s response – “We don’t care. We hate Trump.”

Facing Cash Crunch and Skirting Rules, DeSantis Appears as ‘Special Guest’ at His Own Campaign Events

July 28, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 11 Comments

As DeSantis deals with a cash crunch, firing staffers, a super PAC required by law to keep its distance from him is now being assigned more campaign tasks, enabling DeSantis to take advantage of a loophole allowing a candidate to appear as a special guest at a super PAC event.

Ron DeSantis’ Very Gay Ad

July 15, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 22 Comments

Image from the DeSantis War Room

Ron DeSantis wants you to know he’s a manly man, a manlier man than any manly man ever born, with mighty currents of 100-proof androgen surging through his sinews. He made a video about it. Diane Roberts asks: how could this steaming pile of bovine excrement (and lightning bolts shooting out of the governor’s eyes) get released by his campaign?

Divine Right of DeSantis: Vengeful, Petty and Cruel

July 2, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 58 Comments

desantis vengeful cruel

DeSantis is using taxpayer money to punish his enemies, a warning to those who cross him. Through the budget, he’s pushing his hate-fueled vision onto us, trying to transform Florida into a subtropical version of Massachusetts under the Puritans: intolerant, ignorant, repressive, and cruel.

DeSantis Will Announce His Presidential Bid From Dunedin

May 18, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 26 Comments

An image from the Dunedin tourism bureau's Facebook page. The bureau explains: "Dunedin’s most famous corner and mural. A local artist hand painted each animal for their owners. She also comes back to add a halo on their when they pass. It’s so sweet. Just an FYI, there’s more than just dogs on this mural. There’s cats, birds, lizards and pigs."

Gov. Ron DeSantis expects to announce his candidacy for president after Memorial Day and from his hometown of Dunedin, the more conservative part of what has been considered a politically moderate county.
