Happy New Year

With that said, 2022 will likely be one of the most consequential election years of our lifetime.

Where have we heard that cliché before?

All joking aside, 2022 will be a big year in politics.

The legislative session in Florida is less than two weeks away, COVID is once again surging across the state, and Democrat's only line of attack against Gov. Ron DeSantis is to criticize him for taking time off during the holidays to be with his ailing wife and three rugrats.

Wait, President Biden was in Rehoboth Beach taking a break over the holidays and wasn’t making any public appearances (he rarely does).

But to the president’s defense, he did walk the dog a few times on the beach. Those count as public appearances, right?

Last year, Democrats around the state and national, decided to bash Gov. DeSantis for taking what they call “a vacation” as COVID cases were multiplying at an alarming rate.

After the chorus of Democrats began to call DeSantis “MIA” from his duties as governor, DeSantis, via his executive office, informed Floridians that while he was still working, he also juggled spending time with his family, and attended another one o First Lady Casey DeSantis’s cancer treatments.

The problem that Democrats have with DeSantis is that he hasn’t made any public events. Even though his weekly schedule shows him working in Tallahassee, it is not good enough for Democrats.

Well, Democrats longing (obsession) to see DeSantis come out from hiding is going to happen.

DeSantis will be at Broward Health in Broward County this morning to most likely discuss COVID and the ongoing treatments being administered to those infected with the virus. Remember, Florida has been shorted monoclonal therapies by the Biden administration.

Here is our coverage of Democrats targeting DeSantis for attending cancer treatments with his wife Casey:
