Don’t Mess With DeSantis! In Latest Move, Florida Governor Takes Off The Gloves With Disney
Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is a smart guy, and he’s also a highly skilled politician. But with the complete derangement we’ve been witnessing from the left, combined with DeSantis’ utter ballsy-ness, the section of the Culture War battlefield currently occupied by DeSantis looks like a Marine Corps Battalion fighting against the local Cub Scouts Troop. He’s a man among boys, and he’s not letting up.
In an announcement from the governor’s office yesterday, DeSantis “called on lawmakers to review independent special districts established prior to Nov. 5, 1968.”
The significance of that date may escape many of us, but we can be sure that it hit home with the wokester clowns running the Disney Corporation. And we can also safely bet that there were widespread whisperings of, “Oh, crap!” around the halls at Disney headquarters in Burbank on Tuesday afternoon.
In 1967, just a year before the date detailed in DeSantis’ request yesterday, a law known as the Reedy Creek Improvement Act was passed by the Florida State legislature and signed into law by then-governor Haydon Burns, a Democrat. The law effectively gave the Disney Corporation governmental autonomy in the state thanks to their sizeable investment in what would become Disney World in Orlando.
It was a situation of a state government playing nice with corporate America. Come invest in our state and be a good corporate citizen, and we’ll lay low on government intrusion and authoritarianism concerning your company. That’s the way things are supposed to work. But Disney chose last month to disregard such long-held protocols when they decided to bow to a small but vocal contingent of employees and jump head-first into the culture war and Florida politics.
Disney opted for bowing to the woke mob and trying to punch up at Ron DeSantis, and now, they’re about to get clobbered.
In March, when the legislature in Tallahassee passed the Parental Rights in Education Act, that was democracy in action: Elected officials representing the will of their constituents. When Governor DeSantis signed the bill into law, that was again democracy in action, with the duly elected head of Florida’s executive branch, and one who is extremely popular amongst his citizenry, affirming the will of the people.
But Disney couldn’t help themselves. They don’t like Democracy when it goes against what they want. And now they’re going to feel the sting.
What’s amazing about DeSantis is this: He just lets leftists be leftists, and then reacts by doing the right thing. It’s that simple. The law he signed last month is not a “don’t say gay bill,” it’s completely reasonable. And when Americans across the country consider exactly what it says, they support it overwhelmingly.
Ron DeSantis lets leftists promote the indoctrination of young children with inappropriate sexual curricula, and then stands up for parents and those same children. DeSantis allows leftists to advocate for lax election integrity laws and then takes the side of free and fair elections. And DeSantis sits back and watches leftists try and push racist and dishonest Critical Race Theory, and reacts by taking charge and shutting it down. Ron DeSantis is a master at giving the left just enough rope to hang themselves, and then helping them tie the knot.

I realize I’m picking nits here, but the bill allows the perverts to indoctrinate kids once they reach the magical threshold of 4th grade.
So not exactly a big win.
Righty-o. We so easily praise our politicians. We’re always left with the sentiment of “just be grateful”. Well, no, I want the full enchilada.
I would make a terrible politician…wouldn’t compromise at all.
I told my liberal Floridian buddy, “Can’t you fuckers just wait until they’re in 4th grade grade before you start with the tranny propaganda?”
Reminds me of the meme:
Q: Who radicalized you?
A: I’m just a normal person from 10 years ago.
“I need new conspiracy theories. All my old ones turned out to be true.”
LOL @ “Experts”
He’s your buddy?
Since 1976. 98% of the time we can peaceably agree to disagree. He did lose his shit over our respective interpretations of Jan 6, 2021, but he got over it within a day or so.
Despite being a farm boy, in 4th grade boys still had toodle de dums and girls had oopy doops.
Same with all the animals they tended.
There are no trannies on a farm, just castrati.
At this point, anyone still sending their children to public schools shouldn’t be called a parent …
they should be called a pimp.
Actually, I take that back. Pimps protect prostitutes who then have to give a cut of their take to the pimp. What “parents” do is just offering their kids up to perverts.
It’s an offering
Sad that it does. However, the parents must then shut off the idiot box, get their asses down to the local school board meetings in the evening hours, and make sure the Marxist-Abortionist-Collectivists who gravitate towards EVERY school board in Amerika are taken to task. Mr. DeSantis and the Floridians have gone on the offense. Here in Kootenai County, ID the voters have done the same thing, calling out and exposing the stealth efforts by the “Public Education” forces of darkness, vis-a-vis sex grooming and CRT. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty (H/T to Thomas Jefferson).
Nope. They need to home school. Pronto.
Agreed. Also, the bill only stipulates that grooming can’t be part of the official curriculum up to 3rd grade. We all know the “teachers” will double down to push this garbage on kids anyway, it just won’t be listed in the official curriculum. If/when they are caught, there will be no consequences.
Protect kindergarten thru 3rd grade from pedo ass-rapers . 4-12 , you’re on your own. Desantis is Synagogue of Satan controlled is a fake wrestling too.
Does it start curbing it before or after third grade?
In the State of Occupied Florida, one must wait until the child is toilet trained before shoveling subservience to the Chozen into their empty craniums.
This guy totally kicks ass and you pick on him for doing something that was politically necessary…dumb
What the hell is wrong with you? He signs something like this but he still kicks ass? He’s a politician first and formost and the ass he’s kicking is white, Conservative patriots who think if you get a couple crumbs thrown off the table from a satanic perverted piece of legislation then all is well. No wonder we are losing this debacle. I suppose if a piece of legislation required a!l females above the age of 3 were to be raped and he had it revised to five and up you would think since it was necessary because “politics” all is well. You’re right…something is dumb but it’s your thinking.
Look up gullible. It is you.
The article’s title could just as wll have been “DeSantis signs bill endorsing LGBTQ indoctrination and grooming for 9- and 10-year-olds” (i.e. 4th and 5th graders).
That’s how I read it.
I too am drawing a blank… I’ve been trying to figure it out… fourteen times I’ve been at it, now.
Anyway, how’s the Florida vacay going? My brother lives in Apopka, loves it there.
I see it’s supposed to be highs of about 88 degrees for the next few days, so I think you’ll be just fine.
What I see in this article is he copied Trump’s playbook and says all the things we want to hear. We then suck it up hoping maybe we can be spared the serious discomfort ahead by electing a few more like him who will turn it around for us.
Pretty sure that’s what all of these so-called “wins” for conservatives have been about lately. Give people the illusion that they’re actually gaining ground against the forces of darkness- like CNN+, Disney, Musk v. Twatter, etc. Then leave them standing around with their pants around their ankles, twice as demoralized as they were before.
The entire edifice has to come down, there’s no repairing it.
Root and branch.
Yup and we aren’t going to change their minds unless we cut their heads off.
Like Zappa said, the curtain is being opened…get ready to see the brick wall.
I was going to mention Musky v. Twitts but it seemed like digression. “They” appear to be making conservative allies out of whole cloth these days. Tulsi G. for one.
Lee Remick–was great in Telefon with Charles Bronson.
He clobbered Disney and the gay lobby, huge achievements!
It’s a staged bitch slap same as Willy and Chrissy at the oscars.
No he didn’t.
Since this began, Disney has lost $41 BILLION in value and a ridiculously favorable tax exemption. Another “woke” company, Netflix, has gone from $700 per share to just over $200. That is a drop of $216 BILLION in value. Yes, you read that right. $216 BILLION.
These big corporations only care about one thing. Making money. The “woke” bullshit is only because they think that is the way the wind is blowing. These are HUGE wins for our side. We should celebrate our victories and go on to even more.
DeSantis is far from perfect. That Israeli legislation is troubling, to say the least. But, if he becomes President, this country will be infinitely better off than it has in generations. He is light years ahead of Trump and even Reagan. It’s fine to talk about tearing the whole thing down, but that is HIGHLY unlikely and if it did happen, who is to say it would ever be rebuilt, or if it is rebuilt, things would be even worse.
No. DeSantis is our best hope, but he is not the end game. He is the next step in the progression to victory. Trump was a revolutionary that changed the momentum of the game. He stopped Hillary in 2016. He was the ONLY ONE who could have accomplished that. The Communists clawed their way back with the imbecile, Biden, but it has blown up in their faces with abject failure. He (and they) are now despised by the vast majority of the population and things appear to be getting worse. Much worse. Now, DeSantis is the one to pick up the ball for our side and advance it to the next level. After DeSantis, we will find somebody else to advance the ball even further. That is the way to victory.
DiSantis is just another back-stabbing traitor, owned by jews.
Lak-O-cents…Give it up already. That dog won’t hunt.
Hoping the prettiest horse at the glue factory is going to turn this mess around is gross misuse of time and energy.
I read the fine print. Disney FL transitions to one of the FL counties. Seems $1 billion in debt transitions with it – ie the county will inherit $1 billion of debt that the entity controlling Disney FL land/ operations accrued. The county is not happy. Maybe it is a Dem county? That county just got hosed.
60.9% Voted Democrat and 37.8% Republican.
Doubt it…From a legal perspective, if Disney isn’t paying them,, they default…
Maybe from the same article you read on a business site…that county will need to raise property taxes 20% to cover the upkeep of mousehouse debt and infrastructure. They also can’t apply the tax just to the mouse. Everyone in the county will get a 20% bite.
Bullshit. It was an incredible sweetheart deal for Disney. If it wasn’t, Disney would have terminated it years ago. Do you think Disney was continuing it to benefit the county? Use your head.
I think they used to call what Disney produces Degenerate Art. But wait – everything produced today is Degenerate Art. What and who could have caused that?
Again, doggone it — I’m stumped here.
I keep getting flashes of Georgia O’Keeffe (nee’ Totto) and her photographer husband Alfred Stieglitz for some reason.
Ah, it’s probably nothing.
Watch out for what you wish for. I have been reading that this could be a stealth taxpayer bailout of the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) which is controlled by The Walt Disney Company. This RCID has 1 to 2 billion of bond payments coming due and with the fake pandemic have had little cash flow coming in over the last two years. My understanding is that if RCID were to up and declare bankruptcy the bond liabilities would then be transferred onto whichever taxpayer jurisdiction takes over from RCID. Could be a case of whoever laughs last, laughs best. We’ll see.
Also stealth indoctrination of kids by putting an age on it.
So you think that DeSantis is secretly trying to HELP Disney? You’re kidding, right? Whatever story you are reading is pure bullshit. Disney has LOST $41 BILLION in value since this started and their brand, which took 100 years to build, is in tatters.
Look at the list of former Disney girls Who went on to music, movies and TV and look at their lifestyles. Disney was known way back as a lesbian haven.
Even America’s girl Lisa Whelchel. Facts of Life was the most subtly sexually suggestive show of the decade for teenagers.
There is probably a nice acronym for it or something.
Just use the evil Google for this… is Disney grooming children illegal
What comes up shows where you now stand.
The USA MSM, in full and without any hesitation should be pulled out of their offices and be publicly Hung ….after Flogging and written confessions as to who pulls the strings.
Disgusting, illegal and probably the lowest this Nation has sunk….. Oh wait! ..incoming.
It is the Press that needs to be taken to the woodshed never to return.
