Ron DeSantis vs Kamala Harris= 45 state wipeout win for Republicans.
DeSantis has been correct on everything and counters media BS with facts.

If you are talking about reducing the defense budget to fund programs and infrastructure at home, I couldn't agree more. We currently spend an astronomical amount on defense spending, and yet are still unprepared for modern warfare (which is increasingly taking place in the virtual realm).



For some reason, neither side of the aisle wants to do that though. The Democrats pay lip service to it from time to time, but for the most part they don't actually put it in the budget. Don't think for a second thought that mainstream Republicans wouldn't absolutely excoriate Democrats if they significantly cut defense spending though.

I'm all for the United States maintaining the most powerful Military in the world. I just think we can probably do it for less than 3X what China spends. Lot of Defense Industry money flowing into political coffers though...

I don't trust any numbers thrown out by China or Russia regarding spending, scholastic test scores, or anything else. To do so is flat out stupid IMO.

I was never “in” on “old orange” but I was, and still is on the effective POLICIES!
How’s your guy doing right now Bobbie and Paul? Not so hot.
If DeSantis runs, he’ll beat Trump in the primaries.

We went to Wisconsin for a Granddaughter Birthday last week. Just for the helluva it I had a few free minutes and drove through Kenosha. What a horriffic, dystopian and depressing sight. All along Sheridan Rd., the main drag through the city and downtown, businesses, restaurants, The County Courthouse and even Churches like the Methodist Church right in town are boarded up and barely functioning. The Capitol riot was awful, stupid, ridiculous and uncalled for- as is all violence. But the fact that those from the "other side of the fence" decided to trash an entire in town city area over an admitted criminal being brought to justice, while the ones who were the loudest condemning Trump and the right, stood jaw locked silent-and even had funds to bail those anarchists out-is two faced, craven, disingenuous and cannot be forgotten. The businesses that were damaged or destroyed forever, many were owned by minority businesspeople who were just trying to serve the community and make a living. How do their lives matter?
The scoreboard is not equal:
"Right Riots": The Capitol. No businesses destroyed.
"Left Riots:": Minneapolis- Tons of businesses Damaged or wiped out.
Portland " "
Kenosha " "
Seattle " "
Chicago " "
Atlanta " "
Philadelphia " "
Louisville " "
Cleveland " "
The only "possible" justifiable unrest was in Minneapolis over Floyd- caused by one isolated lousy cop who was an idiot and should have been kicked off the force years ago. Every other one was over Police doing their jobs fighting crime and caused by Antifa and Leftist Anarchists. How do you think the dedicated Black Police Officers and Police Chiefs feel about this absurdity? None of those Anarchist jerks would have been celebrated by Dr. King. Remember how we are supposed to judge folks on the "Content of Their Character"? I don't think Jacob Blake would be judged well by Dr. King. But there's ABC News stoking division by having him interviewed by Michael Strahan this week, when the nation, I think, is trying to heal. Imagine a Woman Abuser, a kidnapper and a felon with a weapon resisting arrest and attacking Police being propped on National TV. Welp. Here we are in Biden's America.
Get ready for 4 years of a Disinformation Reset.

Outcome. The Federal Government—now controlled by Democrats so you can’t say it was partisan— has declined to prosecute the Kenosha police officers involved in the Jacob Blake case. They are totally exonerated for merely doing their job.
All that destruction by leftist anarchists over the Police doing their job properly. And this garbage happened all over the country with billions in dollars of destruction and countless businesses- many owned by People of Color- destroyed.
Biden and Harris had to make a show of going to Wisconsin to meet Blake and comfort his family- in other words to give comfort to a criminal FELON!
That seems to be a bit more of a threat to the American way of life, and the rule of law, than a few idiots who entered the Capitol on 1/6. One was incredibly stupid. The other was destructive in multiple areas. Kenosha is ruined for years. The Capitol is back to it’s dysfunctional operations with barely a blip.

Uh, policies and philosophy are different from narcissism. Unfortunately Biden and Incompetence are one in the same.
Talk about your guy Bobbie. He stinks. You just can’t move on can you?

The Capitol was breached for the first time in 200 years by insurrectionists who threatened the life of the vice president and congress, while the president was plotting with outliers at DOJ to circumvent the election and declare himself the winner...and you think it was a "few" idiots...who still believe the big lie and some want to use force to change the result?
Amazing.
