First Lady DeSantis Praises her Husband

Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis held back tears as she addressed the media and attendees at a press conference at the University of Miami to announce $100 million in news cancer treatment funding for institutions around the state.

“To say he’s been by my side every step of the way, he literally has been,” said First Lady DeSantis as she opened her remarks. “He’s picked me up literally and figuratively throughout this process. He stood by me the entire time. He never missed a chemotherapy appointment —six of those.”

“Florida is going to lead the way to find a definitive cure once and for all for all types of cancer.”- First Lady Casey DeSantis

Mrs. DeSantis was flanked by her husband, Gov. Ron DeSantis, state lawmakers, Manny Diaz, Jr., Reps. Vance Alupis, Tom Fabricio, and Alex Rizo, healthcare providers, cancer survivors like herself.

“It’s a tough thing for a mama of three little babies to have to go through this,” DeSantis added.

Gov. DeSantis has kept Floridians up to speed about his wife’s condition as went through her treatment, saying that he was stepping up his daddy duties, something Mrs. DeSantis echoed during the press event.

Now, no specifics were given as to what exactly Gov. DeSantis did but considering that his kids are about the same age as my little terrors, we can only imagine that he was the one playing referee with the TV remote and bouncing back and forth between Cocomelon and Little Baby Bum, not to mention the annoying Blippi character that makes parents want to jump out of a 10-story building.

It is also safe to say the Governor probably had to do some overtime diaper duty and scrub the walls of chocolate-covered handprints and boogers. Yes, boogers.

What was he thinking?

President Joe Biden is in hot water with both Republicans and Democrats over his easing of sanctions against the murderous regimes in Venezuela and Cuba.

Even Rep. Val Demings, who is running for the U.S. Senate against Senator Marco Rubio, took issue with the president’s actions.

South Florida Reps. Maria Elvira Salazar, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Carlos Gimenez, as well as the aforementioned Senator Rubio, led the charge in condemning President Biden’s foreign policy misstep. READ MORE

Rep. Mike Waltz-The WHO is actively excluding Taiwan at the behest of China.  Why would the Biden Admin look to cede additional authority to an organization that takes its orders from the #CCP on who can and can’t be a member of their organization?

Debbie Wasserman Schultz-On International Day Against Homophobia & Transphobia, we reaffirm the dignity and worth of LGBTQ+ individuals.

As the GOP continues to push legislation targetting LGBTQ+ rights, we must stand against this deepening hatred and division

Charlie Crist-The next Governor of Florida will be faced with legislation to restrict a woman’s right to choose.

If Ron DeSantis wins, he’ll sign it.

I’ll veto it.

This November the choice could not be clearer.

Marco Rubio-The day after Biden lifts sanctions on the regime in #Cuba the regime mocks Biden by announcing that criticism of regime officials is now punishable by jail
