When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted."Trump’s potential rivals for the nomination know this world well, and are banking on these spiritual warriors switching Republican teams. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made multiple appearances this year urging Republican audiences to put on the “armor of God” to fight the left, which he equated with Satan. He even released an ad claiming to be anointed by God."
Any Republican nominee will have to pander to extremism

Much of Trump’s base has been immersed in an insular ecosystem of right-wing Christian media.NO politician is anointed by God. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
"Rising property taxes have been causing a stir across the Sunshine State — especially for those who flocked to Florida over the past couple of years to escape exorbitant taxes in other states. Unlike Bednarski, most will have little recourse but to fight their local municipalities over the bigger bills. The unexpected costs have prompted regret in some people over moving in the first place — and some even have plans to sell their newly acquired homes and leave the state."
Homebuyers who fled to Florida to escape high taxes are now shocked at their massive tax bills

Many people who bought a Florida property in 2022 are in for an unwelcome surprise."On Friday, a county advisory panel to the Brevard County Commission rejected $112,392 cost share using local sales tax dollars toward a $1.2 million artificial-turf field at Cocoa Beach Jr./Sr. High School. Friday's vote doesn't kill the artificial field idea, but it keeps county funding out of the project, for now."
Would a $1.2 million 'fake' field in Cocoa Beach help the Indian River Lagoon?

“Republicans talk a big game about free speech and the First Amendment. But when it comes down to it, they actually believe people should only be “free” to discuss topics they’ve approved. No elected official better epitomizes this hypocrisy than Florida governor Ron DeSantis who, in the last year alone, has signed a law effectively banning teachers from saying the word “gay” in grades K–3; punished one of the largest employers in the state for having the temerity to criticize the “Don’t Say Gay” law; and signed into law a bill—eye-rollingly named “Stop WOKE Act”—that restricts conversations about race in schools and businesses, in a patently obvious attempt to prevent real discussions about the role white people have played in the long history of systemic racism in America. And on Thursday, a federal judge called him on his bullsh**t.”

"DeSantis drew an illegal, discriminatory map. And the corrupt Florida Supreme Court rubberstamped it."

DeSantis drew an illegal and discriminatory map. And the corrupt Florida Supreme Court rubberstamped it.I can’t believe how asleep Americans have become. The republicans are stealing our country right out from under our eyes. But no one is paying attention. That’s just how they designed it to be. But if we don’t all wake up, then there’s not going to be a country left. Republicans can not win in a fair election. So they have tried to keep the people that they don’t want to vote from voting. They have gerrymandered. But even that’s not working. So now they have decided to tear it all down. And build it where only they are in control. That’s the plan. You better wake up before it is too late.
Outside Florida, voters aren’t buying what DeSantis is selling

Hope not!
