Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
I hear the whispers – Ron DeSantis for President. Indeed, he seems to be the ONLY politician who understands the gravity of what is taking place in America. He now signed legislation that allows Florida to impose fines on social media platforms that ban users with ever-changing guidelines and clear outrageous bias. The bill (SB 7072) exposes the absurdity of how they “de-platform the president of the United States but you let Ayatollah Khamenei (Iran’s supreme leader) talk about killing Jews, that is wrong.” The left will never point out how they singled out Trump but left hateful speech from other nations untouched.
The bill demands that social media companies must publish standards with detailed definitions of when someone would be censored or blocked. It further makes Twitter, Facebook, and other online companies subject to as much as $250,000 daily fines for de-platforming a Florida candidate. Personally, I would have made any such decision that cannot be justified as criminal.
Additionally, the bill requires a site to notify users within 7 days that they could be censored, giving them time to correct a posting. The bill passed on virtual party lines which just goes to show that the Democrats want social media to ban all those who oppose them. They cannot see that they are deeply dividing the nation and under these circumstances, people are not simply going to be subordinate to their demands.
I will be selfish – I prefer DeSantis to stay here in Florida. In Washington, the SWAMP will devour him as it did to Trump The only thing that will EVER reform Washington seems to be (1) a revolution of (2) a nuclear bomb. Washington is just too far gone at this stage for us to even hope in vain that we can elect ANYONE who would actually change anything. The bureaucracy is now in full control and they are NOT about to let anyone change the system of power in Washington, DC.
The corruption is too pervasive and it reminds me of the epitaph on Rome by Edward Gibbon. After all, it was his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire that influenced the Founding Fathers wrongly into thinking that a Republic was better than a Monarchy.
“Her primeval state, such as she -might–appear in a remote age, when Evander entertained the stranger of Troy, has been delineated by the fancy of Virgil. This Tarpeian rock was then a savage and solitary thicket; in the time of the poet, it was crowned with the golden roofs of a temple, the temple is overthrown, the gold has been pillaged, the wheel of Fortune has accomplished her revolution, and the sacred ground is again disfigured with thorns and brambles. The hill of the Capitol, on which we sit, was formerly the head of the Roman Empire, the citadel of the earth, the terror of kings; illustrated by the footsteps of so many triumphs, enriched with the spoils and tributes of so many nations. This spectacle of the world, how is it fallen! how changed! how defaced! The path of victory is obliterated by vines, and the benches of the senators are concealed by a dunghill. Cast your eyes on the Palatine hill, and seek among the shapeless and enormous fragments the marble theatre, the obelisks, the colossal statues, the porticos of Nero’s palace: survey the other hills of the city, the vacant space is interrupted only by ruins and gardens. The forum of the Roman people where they assembled to enact their laws and elect their magistrates, is now enclosed for the cultivation of pot-herbs, or thrown open for the reception of swine and buffaloes. The public and private edifices that were founded for eternity lie prostrate, naked, and broken, like the limbs of a mighty giant, and the ruin is the more visible from the stupendous relics that have survived the injuries of time and fortune.”
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive.

I like Ron, but he isnt even a lock for Fl let alone the POTUS. He almost lost FL to a gay crackhead
Gillum put up a good facade in the campaign….and Dems had hopes of turning FL but that victory by DeSantis put a stop to their plans….he is a lock to win re-election. I also think he has a great shot at the WH in 2024 (assuming USA still here and we have quasi legit elections, big If’s!). Unlike Trump he is actually a politician for good and ill. All politicians disappoint but he would be less disappointing I suspect.
Do you REALLY think that voting using Dominion Voting Machines is worth a flying fuck anymore?
Paper ballots with an audit trail and ID to vote…..Dominion is death. Pretty simple fix, GOP lacks the will because they enjoy being the remora on the Dem shark.
………..and nothing changes, which is typical of empires once they reach their terminal stage.
He’s a lock. The gay crackhead got a little help from his friends at Dominion. DeSantis has run them out of the state. It won’t be closed next time
Star- The Zionist love him. They will $upport him all the way just as in the past. DeSantis has already been to Israel to blow Nutteryahoo, so He’s The Man! America….owned and operated, just not by Americans.
Just like the rest of American politicians, America and Americans take a distant second to the interests of Israel and Jews.
Why come all our politicos and .Gov officials end up down at that ole glory hole in the Middle East?
Do they even know it is a satanic ritual that has nothing to do with the OT or their God?
I fear you are correct. But it’s fun watching libtard heads explode and DeSantis will git-r-done. There has to be joy in life… 😊
The climate has changed in FLA…I mean the political climate. DeSantis is much stronger today.
The social media companies are effectively monopolies simply due to their dominance. They need to be regulated as public utility monopolies (the public square) so that they cannot discriminate against free speech – expect for the kind of incitements to riot/violence that have long been carve-outs in First Amendment cases.
The age of politics in America is over.
I keep waiting for Ft. Sumter, so far a wet squib. A few flickers of hope but mostly rage against the Leftist/Dem machine for me. Hopefully, the bears and bison will do a good job on the tourists this year.
Do a flip!
It won’t be a bang like Fort Sumter that ends America, it will be the crispy dry sound that our paper money makes when people start wiping their asses with $20 bills instead of Charmin.
Hyperinflation, not much fun. But Crypto so far is not the answer……Gold and that’s the reason the Chicoms have stockpiled tons of gold.
There is no nation inside of America that could come together to put up a coherent opposition. In 1861 everyone was American.
Interesting comment there Clinker. I can guarantee one thing about the currency, as all bills are just paper with numbers and pictures, as sure as shit (no pun intended) I’d be using a lot of the 10’s, 5’s and 50’s.
Up next, the monarchy scam and serfdom. Same shit, different day.
There hasn’t been a new script in lord knows when, unless Aliens!Aliens! appear. It could happen…..now that’s entertainment!
If anyone discovers intelligent life on Earth, it is not going to be aliens.
Creating a new Orange Man. Fool us once…….
They’ll never allow a rival who is an asset of the Black Group get that far. In the next election, you will see vote tabulations where districts that are 95% Republican vote Democratic by 95%, and there will be open flaunting of voting counts higher than the official number of registered voters.
Did they not do that before , after the voting restarted or was I dreaming that night with what I “think” I saw
I thought we could just make our own social media companies. We just have to work harder, right?
Yes, work harder! And lest ye forget …. VOTE harder!!
……..and bend over more, without the Vaseline.
Love the old time English language!
I’d hate to lose DeSantis here (Fl) but am willing to sacrifice for the greater good.
Our kids need someone closer to their own age.
Facebook and twitter need to be abolished.
All that’s needed is an American population of intelligent, moderately educated, psychologically stable grown-ups having morals and capable of reason. They would see these ridiculous platforms as … well, … ridiculous; and stop using them.
Good Luck!
The people working there have less excuse than the people working as guards at the Nazi prisons.
I have never done a deep dive on DeSantis…I don’t know what I don’t know…but what I do know…I really like…so far.
But that means nothing. I have been here before.
I jumped on the Trump train as its caboose went flying past me after the primaries.
I was desperate. Come on…we all were desperate when the Billary was measuring the drapes.
I had gone in big for Ben Carson after his Prayer Breakfast throw down challenging the Petulant One and Big Mike to their faces! (That was powerfully kick ass in its day…I was enthralled with that public rebuke).
I e-mailed the vid and the transcript all over the country!
I was part of the draft Ben Carson movement with $ he demanded before he would put himself through the grind to challenge Barry. He said show me the money? I put $ in monthly. (And I am careful and tight with $). But if he was the real deal I was willing.
It became painfully obvious on TV Uncle Ben can make rice…but not debate…and this Ben lacked the gravitas and the throat cutting aggression needed to swim with the sharks.
I had spent my well intentioned $ in vain.
Then THE DONALD beat Jezebel!!! AND…And…and…he wasn’t THE BILLARY!
I was so grateful the witch/bitch/Jezebel wasn’t in power it took a long time to see how fast WARP SPEED DEATH INJECTIONS…and who their recently self-confessed fast draw father could actually be.
Former President Donald Trump on Thursday called himself “the Father of the Vaccines,” and declared that his administration had saved “tens of millions of lives” in its efforts to push for the quick development of COVID-19 shots.
The Father of Lies is the real Father of the Death Vaccines…looks to me like Trump is now HIS SELF CONFESSED STEPSON?
“THERE ARE FATES WORSE THAN DEATH” CATHERINE AUSTIN FITTS EXPOSES THE INJECTION.
It does not seem wise to lend legitimacy to an illegitimate government.
At this point Monday morning governmental quarter backing insight would be like watching a modern day 3 part version of Back to the Future in reverse…while driving in a DeLorean with Bill & Ted taking turns steering in the front seat…with Satan in the back seat shouting turning directions…and trying not to do anything to keep from not saving my family from hell on earth…and or in eturnity.
But I will try and remember your wise advice.
Those two are better than 99.9% of so-called mainstream media.
And yet Mr. Corbett is still banned from posting on youtube.
Hoping you are doing okay. I feel like I owe you one and wish I could help moar.
A fella gotta wonder if Trump wasn’t sent, with the sole purpose, to round up the right flank to get the death jab
He gave the wall a high five so He’ll take the dive.
Gov DeSantis is a true profile in courage. As is Rand Paul. Thanks to both of them. I see some other states beginning to bathe in a little bit of Florida enlightenment.
