Gov. DeSantis vetoes immigration bill from Ft Myers

On January 29, 2025, during a roundtable event in Fort Myers, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced his intention to veto a recently passed immigration bill known as the "Tackling and Reforming Unlawful Migration Policy (TRUMP) Act." 

The legislation, which allocates $500 million to enhance state and local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, includes provisions to establish a state immigration enforcement office under the authority of Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson. Governor DeSantis criticized this structure, stating, "Agriculture has not exactly been known for immigration enforcement, so it's almost like the fox guarding the hen house. It was bizarre."

DeSantis expressed concerns that the bill would undermine existing immigration enforcement efforts and diminish gubernatorial authority over immigration matters. He emphasized his commitment to upholding the law and protecting Floridians, asserting that his administration has been proactive in addressing illegal immigration. The governor's opposition to the bill highlights a growing rift within Florida's Republican leadership regarding the state's approach to immigration policy.

Texas Governor Calls for Charges After School Official Resigns Over Transgender Policy Violations

Image
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is demanding criminal charges and a formal investigation into a school administrator who resigned following allegations of violating state laws on transgender student policies. The situation has reignited discussions over how schools handle transgender issues and whether districts are following newly enacted state regulations. What Happened? The controversy began when a school official from Irving Independent School District was caught on hidden camera discussing policies related to transgender students. The footage, reportedly recorded by a conservative watchdog group, allegedly showed the official acknowledging efforts to bypass Texas laws regarding transgender student participation in sports and access to certain school facilities. Texas has passed legislation restricting the ability of transgender students to participate in school sports based on their gender identity, requiring them instead to compete based on their biological sex as recorded at birth...

This WHOLE thing just got even CRAZIER!

As most of you know, there have been two major aviation incidents out here along the east coast of the United States—one over the Potomac River near DC and one last night in North Philadelphia. In fact, I have a still image from the incident in Philadelphia that occurred in a densely populated area. Just an unbelievable sequence of events. Here's a still image that was captured on an outdoor security camera not far from where the plane came down out of the sky. Well, there was another incident of a plane that came down out of the sky that you guys may not know about. Over in Fairbanks, Alaska, 72 hours earlier, an F-35, for unknown reasons, fell from the sky just like the airplane in North Philadelphia. I have video footage of the incident that occurred in Fairbanks right here. What you're about to see is an F-35 fighter jet that costs anywhere between 100 and 400 million dollars. The only good thing about this incident—you can see right there—the pilot safely ejected. Look at ...
