CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 1, 2023
FLORIDA REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. WHILE HE HASN’T YET ANNOUNCED, ALL THE MARKINGS ARE THERE. IN ADDITION TO TAKING ON THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY AND REMOVING ITS SPECIAL TAX HAVEN WHICH WAS INSTITUTED IN THE 1960S TO BRING IN JOBS AND REVENUE – IT WORKED – DESANTIS HAS A NEW BOOK CALLED “THE COURAGE TO BE FREE: FLORIDA’S BLUEPRINT FOR AMERICA’S REVIVAL.” SOME PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES USUALLY PUBLISH A BOOK BEFORE ANNOUNCING. THE BOOK TITLE SOUNDS LIKE A BETTER VERSION OF DONALD TRUMP’S “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.”
IN JUST THE LAST TWO MONTHS, DESANTIS HAS DESIGNED A CONSERVATIVE TAKEOVER OF A SMALL LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE IN SARASOTA, REJECTED AN ADVANCED PLACEMENT AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES COURSE BECAUSE IT “LACKED EDUCATIONAL VALUE” AND PROPOSED A BAN ON DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION PROGRAMS AT UNIVERSITIES. HE’S ALSO ADVOCATED FOR THE DEATH PENALTY IN CASES WITHOUT A UNANIMOUS JURY AND FILED A COMPLAINT TO REVOKE THE LIQUOR LICENSE OF A VENUE IN ORLANDO THAT ALLOWS A DRAG QUEENT EVENT.
THE FLORIDA ECONOMY IS BOOMING. PEOPLE ARE MOVING TO FLORIDA FROM HIGH CRIME AND HIGH TAX STATES.
YES, RON DESANTIS IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. THE ONLY QUESTION IS: WHEN WILL HE ANNOUNCE? I’M CAL THOMAS.
