Ron DeSantis

[raison de arizona]

Dafuq is his major malfunction? He's a dick just to be a dick. And fucking up people's lives.

Republican Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed a bill that would’ve allowed ex-cons to become barbers or cosmetologists.

People who’ve done their time and are trying to rebuild their life by learning a trade are blocked from doing so.

More illogic from that fuckwit. Lots of prisons actively train the inmates to get their barber or cosmetology license while incarcerated. Studies show it actually reduces recidivism by about 40% They also train plumbers and electricians and welders. Will they be banned for 5 years too?

We can't have purpose and hope in life, can we? Better to convert them into lifetime criminals.

Textbook authors told climate change references must be cut to get Florida’s OK
The directive appears similar to requirements the state imposed on math and social studies textbooks said to include “critical race theory” and “social justice” material

Textbook authors were told last month that some references to “climate change” must be removed from science books before they could be accepted for use in Florida’s public schools, according to two of those authors.

A high school biology book also had to add citations to back up statements that “human activity” caused climate change and cut a “political statement” urging governments to take action to stop climate change, said Ken Miller, the co-author of that textbook and a professor emeritus of biology at Brown University.

Both Miller and a second author who asked not to be identified told the Orlando Sentinel they learned of the state-directed changes from their publishers, who received phone calls in June from state officials.

Miller, also president of the board of the National Center for Science Education, said the phrase “climate change” was not removed from his high school biology text, which he assumed happened because climate change is mentioned in Florida’s academic standards for biology courses.

But according to his publisher, a 90-page section on climate change was removed from its high school chemistry textbook and the phrase was removed from middle school science books, he said.

The other author said he was told Florida wanted publishers to remove “extraneous information” not listed in state standards. “They asked to take out phrases such as climate change,” he added.

Those kids are going to be shocked when they grow up and get out into the Real World. Or, you know, look it up online.

Total side note: If Trump's physical and mental health had been covered the way Biden's is now, DeSantis would likely have been the nominee.

I can't for the life of me understand why the media wants to make Trump president. Sure, he's good for clicks, but once he gets back in and all of his handpicked minions are in place, how long before they'll be able to post anything not Trump approved propaganda?

BREAKING: FLORIDA DROPS A BOMBSHELL ON CONDO OWNERS!

Jared Jones
23 Jul 2024

Florida has been absolutely surging in inventory, but what's not being widely reported is lurking just under the surface. The jump in UNSOLD condo inventory is at historic levels, and it's WAY worse than the usual headlines suggest (which is saying something because the headlines are all bad for Florida right now). In this video, we do a deep dive into what the issues are, how it's going, and what you need to know if you are a buyer here or if you own a home now and what you're looking to do next.

Florida officials determined this week that Ron DeSantis wasn’t required to disclose that a donor gifted him a $28,000 golf simulator in 2019, the Tampa Bay Times reported. The decision means the Florida governor has skirted any trouble for the exchange by claiming the simulator, which was installed inside his Tallahassee mansion, was a gift to the state and not to him personally. The state’s commission on ethics, which is led by the wife of DeSantis’ former chief of staff, released a statement Wednesday to announce the ethics complaint was dismissed. That statement said the decision was reached in part because the simulator’s donor, Morteza “Mori” Hosseini, told state investigators it was meant for DeSantis but was also “to be used more broadly by public employees.” Hosseini is the CEO of one of the state’s largest residential home builders and is a key DeSantis ally. He donated over $1 million to DeSantis’ super PAC before DeSantis crashed out of the presidential race in January, the Times reported.

How easy is it in Florida for public employees to access something like that in the governor's mansion?

Easy peasy. After a long day of work, I stroll in, toss aside my safety vest and hard hat, get in a few swings to relax. If Ron's around, I'll give him a quick nod. If Casey's around, I turn around and run.
