You can see the video/hear the song at sweetfloridasong.com
The press don't like him but he sure does get my business
He stands up for what he believes
So don't come down here trying to change things
We're doing alright in the Sunshine State
Stay out of our business - leave our Gov alone
Down in Sweet Florida
Our Governor is Red White and Blue
Down in Sweet Florida
He's shootin' us straight – tellin' us the truth
Yeah that's right!
You can take it to the bank he don't care what Brandon thinks at the White House
Yeah he's fighting for the right to keep our state free
Well he's taking on the swamp and he's calling out Dr. Fauci
He's the only one fightin' for you and me
Yeah we're free!
Down in Sweet Florida
Our Governor is Red White and Blue
Down in Sweet Florida
He's shootin' us straight – tellin' us the truth
Well we ain't been locked down – we still have our freedom
We can still see our friends and family
Our kids are in school and we can go to church on Sunday
And it's all because DeSantis knows how to lead
Yeah we're free!
Down in Sweet Florida
Our Governor – He's Red White and Blue
Down in Sweet Florida
He's shootin' us straight – tellin' us the truth
Down in Sweet Sweet Sweet Florida
Our Governor – He's Red White and Blue
Down in Sweet Florida
He's shootin' us straight – tellin' us the truth
Yeah!
Down in Sweet Florida
Well he's kicking it up – standing up down in Florida
He's a military man with the courage to withstand them all
Yeah we're free in Florida
Yeah we're free in Florida
Our Governor – He's Red White and Blue
Governor Calls for Special Legislative Session
Gov. Ron DeSantis will call lawmakers back to Tallahassee to settle the ongoing redistricting spat, the governor made it official on Tuesday morning, announcing that a special legislative session will be held April 19-22 in order to pass the required redistricting maps the state has not yet agreed on.
DeSantis also announced that he formally vetoed the maps previously approved by the legislature. DeSantis argued the maps approved by the state’s legislature complied with Florida’s constitution but were in violation 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
“We have a responsibility to produce maps for our citizens that do not contain unconstitutional racial gerrymanders,” said DeSantis. “Today, I vetoed a map that violates the U.S. Constitution, but that does not absolve the Legislature from doing its job. I appreciate the Legislature’s willingness to work with me to pass a legally compliant map this Special Session.”
Senate President, Wilton Simpson and House Speaker, Chris Sprowls, issued a joint statement saying they would work to craft a congressional map that can be supported by lawmakers and DeSantis.
When asked if other pressing issues facing the state like property insurance and data privacy could be dealt with during the special session, DeSantis reaffirmed that the primary concern is redistricting, and all energy will be devoted to tackling map drawing.
“You know, there are a few things we still need to deal with like property insurance, data privacy, and constitutional carry, but we need to get this [redistricting] done,” said DeSantis. “If the opportunity presents itself, we’ll cross that bridge.”
It's All About Woke

It will be interesting to see if the Disney Company suffers economically by alienating tens of millions of parents who believe their 5 to 8-year-olds should not be discussing "gender fluidity" at school.
I am simply amazed that Disney executives are using the enormous corporation to advance a far-left vision of education. The business risk is substantial.
Ever since television was invented, Disney has set programs for children and gained the trust of Americans by doing so. The fairy tales were brilliantly animated and wholesome entertainment brought in billions every year.
But now it's all about woke, a trend that is on the skids as folks see how narrow-minded and callous woke-ism really is.
The embarrassment of ordering employees not to say the words "boys and girls" is apparently lost on Disney executives. Really, what the L.A.-based company is doing is insane, self-destructive, and bad for all kids, not just traditional children.
My prediction is the marketplace will punish Disney, but I could be wrong. Maybe, the public is numb to assaults on the culture - there are so many of them.
But I've had enough, I can tell you that. If Disney got behind anti-bullying education, I'd be wearing those mouse ears.
Dopey the Dwarf would concur.
Investigations Opened into Florida Allegedly Allowing Ineligible Convicted Felons to Vote in 2020
Investigations have been opened into whether the state of Florida allowed convicted felons, ineligible to vote, cast votes in the 2020 presidential election.
Breitbart News reported that the investigation started in a number of counties in a movement that is spreading across the nation from Wisconsin to Georgia and even down to Florida.
According to Politico, the investigation began after researcher Mark Glaeser began crossing-checking Florida’s voter lists against the states convicted sex offenders and felons still in the Alachua County, Florida, jail.
One of the investigations focuses on an election official in Alachua County who is accused of registering felons to vote at the county jail despite their being ineligible.
Politico reports the probes or investigations are in varying stages, with some county supervisors forwarding information to local prosecutors and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement or handing it off to the Department of State. But it appears dozens of potentially illegal voters have been flagged in counties such as Alachua, Duval, Gadsden, Leon, and Lake.
“As such, it is quite possible that some individuals who voted in the 2020 General Election had not satisfied all legal financial obligations or were otherwise ineligible under the parameters of the restoration of voting rights framework,” said Mallory Morgan, a spokesperson for Secretary of State Laurel Lee.
“Eligibility screening continues without ceasing and the Department is hopeful that new FTE positions sought in this year’s budget will assist with this work, which expanded significantly in terms of time and complexity following the passage of Amendment 4 in 2018.”
According to Morgan the Department was aware that several of the counties received information and noted that they had the power to forward the complaints to the local prosecutors.
