I went to their website and visited the "about" page. Most of them look like hicks in their ball caps. Not a professional organization by any stretch.

Yep, all 100% Trumpers.

I tried to give them a donation but their link breaks with a "500" server error.

However, the store link works. They give you a code to get 10%-OFF. It's a 3rd party MAGA store.

Who on Ron DeSantis' team let him engage with this cringe? DeSantis denied he wears heels inside his boots to appear taller. “What they’re trying to say with this is in your boots, you have heels.” “No, no, no, no, those are just standard, off-the-rack Lucchese,” DeSantis replied on the Patrick Bet-David Podcast, referencing the luxury boot brand that serves as the official boot of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders." #TrickorTreats

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds will endorse Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the 2024 Republican primary at a pre-debate rally in Des Moines, Iowa, on Monday night, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

The DeSantis campaign is promoting Reynolds’ presence at the event on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Reynolds had initially indicated she would likely remain neutral in the GOP primary race, but more recently has signaled willingness to back a candidate.

Reynolds will also join DeSantis on Tuesday for a meet-and-greet in Davenport.

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds on social media Sunday, saying her pending endorsement of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will be "the end of her political career."

"If and when Kim Reynolds of Iowa endorses Ron DeSanctimonious, who is absolutely dying in the polls both in Iowa and Nationwide, it will be the end of her political career in that MAGA would never support her again, just as MAGA will never support DeSanctimonious again," Trump said, unleashing a string of vituperative Truth Social posts. "Two extremely disloyal people getting together is, however, a very beautiful thing to watch. They can now remain loyal to each other because nobody else wants them!!!"

Reynolds is set to formally endorse DeSantis at a Monday rally in Des Moines, according to sources close to both governors.

I wonder how many qualified workers would chose to relocate to FL to fill in those projected job openings. I understand that FL brains are leaving the state.

DeSantis Faces Critical Decision on Cruise Ships in Key West

KEY WEST, Fla. — Since the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, when cruise ships filled with sickened passengers were blocked from U.S. ports, residents in Key West, Florida, have been trying to limit the size and number of vacation vessels on the tiny island, using the momentum created during the pandemic to argue for continuing restrictions on cruise vessels.

Activists flooded City Commission meetings, protested on the dock, collected signatures and managed to pass three ballot measures in 2020 imposing stricter controls to protect the marine environment and limit passengers to 1,500 a day — only to see the state Legislature, with the approval of Gov. Ron DeSantis, void the new restrictions the following year.

Now the wealthy hotelier who operates Key West’s cruise ship port is doubling down, asking the state for permission to expand, which would allow bigger ships with more passengers to operate legally out of the port.

The issue will soon land on the desk of DeSantis, who has received nearly $1 million in campaign donations from the pier’s owner. It represents a tough balancing act for the Republican governor, a 2024 presidential candidate who has touted his environmental record but has also been a booster of Florida’s tourism industry.

Safer Cleaner Ships, the organization behind the move to keep large cruise ships out of Key West, recently fired another salvo: It filed a whistleblower lawsuit against the local port owner, Pier B Development Corp., citing state records it said showed the company had underpaid millions of dollars in state fees and taxes. The Florida attorney general’s office dismissed the suit in part on jurisdictional grounds, a decision that activists said was a sign of continuing state support for a campaign donor, the owner of one of the country’s largest private hotel chains.

For DeSantis, whose policies are under scrutiny during the presidential campaign, a decision on whether to authorize expanded cruise ship operations calls for weighing environmental concerns as well as potential revenues from his state’s biggest industry in a petition that comes from a major campaign donor.

Colleagues say the state surgeon general rarely is on campus and has “sullied” the reputation of the flagship school.

"To recruit and train members of a civilian military force under his control, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration has hired a company that specializes in combat training and lists as one of its instructors a former U.S. Navy SEAL accused of war crimes."

(snip)

"The CEO of Stronghold — Calvin B. Graves, also known as Brandon Graves — is a supporter of the governor’s presidential campaign. On social media, Graves repeatedly shows support for DeSantis’ stances on social issues, like banning female transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports."

(snip)

"Originally pitched as a 400-member organization, it’s been expanded to 1,500, but the organization has failed to find and train volunteers to meet its goals. Its training class graduated 120 recruits, who are now referred to as soldiers. Its next training class isn’t expected until next year."

(snip)

"DeSantis’ Department of Military Affairs, which oversees the agreement, would not clarify whether the training Stronghold is offering State Guard members is geared toward a specialized unit that under Florida law has the ability to make arrests and carry weapons."
