Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' written statement to Tucker Carlson heard around the world earlier this week on the Russia-Ukraine war has caused nothing short of a full-scale meltdown from the arrogant, consistently wrong-thinking, military-industrial complex-addled band of bipartisan dunderheads who collectively comprise the American ruling class's foreign policy "blob."

Ron DeSantis came out against our current blank check n’ hack cliches Ukraine policy, stating the indisputable truth that Ukraine's not a vital U.S. interest worthy of risking World War III with Russia. The next day he was proven right when a Russian SU-27 knocked a U.S. Reaper Drone into the Black Sea. ​​​​​​​Of course all the right GOP establishment people got really mad at DeSantis for saying something we all need to be against.

Three days before Silicon Valley Bank collapsed, Joe Biden's Treasury Sect. Janet Yellen cautioned that "climate change" puts the banking industry at risk. From la-la land, she speculated future storms & tornadoes could diminish the value of a banks' assets. With 98% of all 2020 political contributions from people working at internet companies going to Democrats, it's no surprise they're offering bailouts – whether they use that word or not.

The primary concern of the people who ran the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) -- the bank that just went bust -- was not banking. Nor was it making money for the bank's shareholders or safeguarding the funds of its depositors. Their primary concern was social activism -- LGBTQIA+, DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion), ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), and climate change.

The Republican race is not the only game in town. There is a lot of action in 2024 besides Trump, DeSantis, and the Asterisks. The Dems have their own nomination race, and there are a bunch of Senate showdowns.

What's common to the pandemic of smash-&-grab, carjacking, fighting on airliners while in flight, and deadly Saturday night shoot-outs, is that there's an apparent assurance for law-breakers that there'll be no consequences for their actions. And why wouldn't thugs and law-breakers believe this – after 120 days of rioting, looting, arson & assault in the summer of 2020's "mostly peaceful protests" there were few Antifa indictments, fewer convictions, and almost no imprisonments?

About the "much criticized" Rasmussen Poll that's been in the news as the woke-leftist media killed the Dilbert Cartoon – it asked American Adults: "Do you agree or disagree with this statement: 'It is OK to be white.'" In response, 53% of Black American adults strongly or somewhat agreed, 26% strongly or somewhat disagreed, and 21% said they were "not sure." The white male creator of the popular "Dilbert" comic strip thought that was concerning.

President Biden announced he'd not veto a resolution passed by the Republican-controlled House to overturn a new District of Columbia "crime reform" law, assuming the resolution passes the Senate. As a result – in a major woke Democrat's defeat – a shell-shocked chair of the left-wing D.C. City Council now says he's pulling the bill that reduces sentencing on many felonies, including carjackings and burglaries.

Make no mistake: This threat of violence is very real. Organized groups targeting Supreme Court Justices with protest outside their homes to pressure them into changing their rulings is spiraling out of control – despite the fact that such harassment violates a Federal Law. President Biden's unwillingness to punish those who violate the law in a targeted way is encouraging those on the left who support political violence.

For the umpteenth time: The United States is not the problem – China is. The U.S. has reduced our pollution emissions more than any other nation on the face of the earth, the "problem" continues, and Democrats can do nothing but blame the U.S. – why is that? China's pollution levels are three times higher than ours, and soon India will pass the U.S. in carbon emissions. Biden & The Left are knee-capping our Energy Industry!

After Nike and Cracker Barrel shut down their operations in Portland, Oregon last year and decided to call it quits due to the growing and out of control crime levels there, Walmart Stores has become the latest to shut its stores in the city. "Theft is an issue. It’s higher than what it's historically been,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon told CNBC. “If that’s not corrected over time, prices will be higher and stores will close."

According to Kennedy, Americans are "governed by deeply weird, nauseously woke people who hate George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head; who hyperventilate on their yoga mats if you use the wrong pronoun; who think kids should be able to change their gender at recess; who carry around Ziploc bags of kale to give them energy; who think they are better than us."

Wokesters had long suppressed that reality, demonizing any who rejected its orthodox lies and spoke a larger truth: A dystopic China is not our global partner in greening the planet. Criticizing Stalinist China is not "racist." China is not building a progressive society that is a model for others.

President Joe Biden's diplomats are negotiating a treaty with the World Health Organization to promote so-called global health equity. The premise is that in a pandemic or other worldwide disease emergency, Americans should not get better or faster health care than inhabitants of third-world countries. If Biden rams this through, Americans will suffer and die needlessly.

Where and when will it end? Putin clearly believes the U.S. will grow tired of the expense and draw back its support – and now President Biden has promised we will support Ukraine for "as long as it takes." The president should explain the goal, and in the meantime ask European nations to step up their aid to Kyiv. It's time to ask some hard questions.

Questioning is no longer allowed, unless it’s of your sexuality after being inundated with left-wing propaganda about how being gender non-binary is not only somehow enlightened, but a real thing. It is not.

On a daily basis, the Ukraine War is a mess. The first goal for Ukrainians was simple survival, but now that it's been armed to the teeth – and its soldiers've proved themselves to be far more capable and heroic than Putin's once-feared Russian Army – America is not only being asked to supply the money and arms to fuel its counteroffensives, we're also about to engage in a dangerous anti-Russia, never-ending war.

"For 247 years, American Freedom has been purchased by blood & sacrifice. I represent hundreds of thousands of political refugees in Miami, and I’ll be damned if the widespread complacency of a full belly and an empty head forces us to endure oppression once again," says Cong. Maria Elvira Salazar, who represents Florida’s Miami-based 27th Congressional District and serves on the House Foreign Affairs, and the Small Business Committees.

Joe Biden's "Put Americans Last" policy is on full display at the Chemical Spill Disaster in the small Ohio town of East Palestine. Fearing for their lives, residents were forced to evacuate their homes with eyes burning and their drinking water suspect – yet Biden's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) somehow refused them any type of aid for two weeks. Remember, FEMA gave immediate help when buses of Illegal Immigrants arrived in D.C. & New York City.

Some 40 years ago, a famous national study on America's public schools warned of a "crisis of mediocrity." Today, things have deteriorated so much that "mediocrity" in some areas would be considered an improvement. Test scores reached a several-decades low nationally last year, and all over the country public schools are wasting billions on Lord knows what. Actually, education reform is simple – here's what we do...
