I watched Biden\u2019s old man\u2019s rant<\/a> against people who don\u2019t want to be vaccinated.\u00a0 Then I watched Ron DeSantis’s rebuttal<\/a>.\u00a0 My first comment is Ron DeSantis comes off as a leader and Joe Biden comes off as a demented liar.\u00a0 And by the way, Joe would be a liar even if he hadn\u2019t already slipped into late-stage senility.\u00a0 He\u2019s always favored bold lies.\u00a0 But whoever is writing his speeches seems completely unconcerned with either truth or even the appearance of credibility.<\/p>\n

Joe has stripped away the mask and is now dictating unconstitutional controls over the lives of all Americans.\u00a0 He is dictating the medicines we take and forcing us to walk around with our mouth and nose covered regardless of how that will affect us physically and emotionally.\u00a0 He has become the embodiment of Orwell\u2019s dark vision of the future \u201c1984.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ron DeSantis talks like a representative of the people of his state and he has carefully staked out a position that addresses the actual problems and allows him to offer all the citizens of his state choices that they can decide between.\u00a0 First off, he was ahead of the curve getting safeguards in place to protect the large elderly population in Florida from a virus that was primarily a threat to their age group.\u00a0 And he worked hard to make vaccines available to all the people who wanted them.\u00a0 But he also made a point to protect the people who didn\u2019t want the vaccines and didn\u2019t want their lives disrupted.\u00a0 He hasn\u2019t force people to wear masks.\u00a0 He hasn\u2019t closed down restaurants and theaters and stadiums.\u00a0 In fact, he\u2019s gone the extra mile and made sure there were laws in place to protect Floridians from corporations and local governments who would lock down these businesses and enforce a mask mandate.<\/p>\n

And he\u2019s earned the ire of the media because of it.\u00a0 During the Delta Variant spike, the news companies have been keeping up a drumbeat counting deaths and taking the side of teachers\u2019 unions and school boards who want to force small children to wear masks to placate the teachers who in some cases aren\u2019t even willing to be vaccinated themselves.\u00a0 This is a guy who is planning a strategy to show his citizens that there is an alternative to shutting down a country and hiding under your bed.\u00a0 He\u2019s showing that Fauci and Cuomo and now Biden are lazy idiots who don\u2019t have the sense to try and adapt to a bad situation in a way that doesn\u2019t punish people for trying to live their lives.\u00a0 He\u2019s smart and he\u2019s got some courage.\u00a0 What I see is a man who is auditioning for one of the top two spots in the next administration.<\/p>\n

It’s no surprise that Joe Biden sounds like a liar and an incompetent trying to shift blame to anybody but himself.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he resigns relatively soon.\u00a0 But his replacement is almost as bad.\u00a0 She\u2019s an unlikable shrew with absolutely no ability to speak to reporters and not much in the way of brains.\u00a0 So, if Joe quits it\u2019s a case of \u201cout of the frying pan and into the fire\u201d for the Democrats.\u00a0 Three years of Harris should be enough to throw the election to Trump even if the fraud machines are running at full speed.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m interested in is what kind of cabinet DeSantis could provide to either himself or Donald Trump.\u00a0 Trump had almost no one working for him who was both competent and loyal.\u00a0\u00a0 Mike Pompeo and Mike Flynn were probably the only exceptions I can think of.\u00a0 If DeSantis has built up a core of good men who can run the departments of the federal government, then we might see some real progress in draining the swamp in Washington.\u00a0 I don\u2019t mean to get too far ahead of myself but it is tempting to imagine that experienced government administrators would have a much better chance of hitting the ground running than just random Republican hacks borrowed from the think tanks and the former George W. Bush administration.<\/p>\n

Maybe Ron DeSantis has the right stuff.\u00a0 It will be interesting to see how he copes with what Dementia Joe and the Swamp will throw at him starting today.\u00a0 I wish him every success.\u00a0 Because his success would be our good fortune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
