Awesome governor. Expect a landslide re-election in Florida for Governor DeSantis in 2022. Any Floridian who votes against DeSantis is nuts.
Ron DeSantis vows to crack down on China stealing intellectual property from Florida
By Washington Examiner, March 3, 2021
Story continues below advertisementGov. Ron DeSantis proposed new safeguards to crack down on China’s attempts to steal intellectual property from Florida.
“For far too long, the Communist Party of China and other foreign adversaries have been deliberate in their economic infiltration of other nations, the United States in particular,” DeSantis said Monday. “China has made it a mission to steal intellectual property from our businesses, our government, and our academic institutions — all to further fuel their global objectives.”
“We will place strategic safeguards against foreign influence by closing loopholes, strengthening institutional vetting, and applying common-sense protections for Florida schools, government entities, and more,” he added.
Florida Speaker of the House Chris Sprowls said he found evidence of China stealing intellectual property from universities, such as the University of Florida and the University of Central Florida.
“We found that there are no limits to the depths to which other countries, especially China, will go to steal our science and technology,” Sprowls said. “Foreign adversaries use our university systems, local governments, research institutions, and companies to intimidate, influence, and steal their way to strategic advantage. Today, we are introducing legislation to combat foreign influence in our public institutions and prevent corporate espionage in Florida.”

Disclosing donations of $50,000 or more from seven “countries of concern” is among the proposals. The countries include China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, and Venezuela.
DeSantis added that anyone seeking a contract with Florida worth $100,000 or more must disclose ties to the seven countries listed.
The announcement on Monday came after the Republican governor delivered remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference. A straw poll conducted during the conference found DeSantis as the clear choice of attendees for the 2024 presidential election if former President Donald Trump doesn’t run.

Governor De Santis a blast from the dying past. A dinosaur.
“Most of the big shore places were closed now and there were hardly any lights except the shadowy, moving glow of a ferryboat across the Sound. And as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors’ eyes — a fresh, green breast of the new world. Its vanished trees, the trees that had made way for Gatsby’s house, had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.
And as I sat there brooding on the old, unknown world, I thought of Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night.
Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter — to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther… . And one fine morning ——
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” – “The Great Gatsby

No I don’t want communists (why do you call them liberals?) to run America. But so long as they control education, write the textbooks, and indoctrinate in the schools, there is no hope to restore America as a bastion of liberty and capitalism.
Trump and De Santis are artifacts from a disappearing past not harbingers of our future, that’s what I meant.

Yes and “Do whatever you like kids – it’s OK cause your pathetic parents morals and ethics are for fools”…
Of course this is after they indoctrinate them with endless list’s of perversity’s and demented ideologies scrambling any sense of Right and wrong while feeding them total lies about everything of any importance = Pied Pipers of destruction ~ but defini-tively NOT educator’s…!

Yes and yes ~ just realize America is a bastion of “freedoms under Liberty” + “free enterprise” that was only germinated from, nurtured by and then fruited from what clearly was its beginnings seen as the first two parts of the six part “1st -Amendment” as the fertile ground guaranteeing their unbridled but fairly practiced growth within core acceptable Principles that first regulate a culture and society in and thru the Peoples human hearts moral ethical nature…!
Unbridaled greed is the antithesis of such a foundational conviction that unites the spirit of a people and nation as never seen in all history.
This of which de Tocqueville became fully aware of and loudly proclaimed was America’s strength keeping “her in check from calamity and future failure” which is today rampantly overtaking us all from both without and within…!

One of the VERY LAST GOOD GUYS in politics beside Trump. WOW.
I would love to see Donald J Trump ask DeSantis to be his V.P. running mate in 2024, if DeSantis is willing to forego his Governorship. AND WHEN THEY WIN, I WILL THINK I HAVE ARRIVED IN HEAVEN. No one else in politics even comes close to these two gentlemen, except maybe GOV. ABBOTT of Texas. ALL 3 LOVE AMERICA, OUR U.S. CONSTITUTION AND WANT AMERICA TO PROSPER.
THEN, AFTER 4 YEARS, DESANTIS CAN RUN FOR PRESIDENT AND HE WILL WIN HANDS DOWN! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THESE 2 MEN!
All the DemonRATS want to do is make America a 4th-world country of illegals, chinese, and terrorists.
I KNOW DEWINE IS A PATHETIC RINO, SO LET’S COUNT HIM OUT OF ANYTHING!
EACH STATE NEEDS TO INVOKE STATE’S RIGHTS AND QUICKLY OR FOREVER BE BEHOLDEN TO THIS ANTI-AMERICAN CONGRESS, at least the majority of them, AND CHINA.

Another one of the “good guys” not to overlook is rancher, Congress woman ~ Governor Kristi Noem.
After a Trump De Santis ticket win ~ an 8yr De Santis/Noem team – then – an 8yr Noem/Boebert ticket etc…
Hey if women stand up and the men stand down…?

Gov De Santis is the best , but lets hope the gangsters who run Palm Beach county and Broward county boards of election aren’t allowed to fake an extra million or so ballots in 2022. If they do I’m sure the 16,000 special agents of the fbi and America’s trillion dollar us military will stop and punish the fraud (maybe? or maybe not?)

That would be a great “get’in up day” of incredible joy to now at least 100million Americans and likely at least a billion worldwide.

The FDA is heavily infiltrated with Chinese too and has been for at least 10 years. What better way to find out all new proposed innovations in detail.

How are you gonna drag the Communist Chinese into American courts? If you discover this theft, how do you prosecute it or stop it? You won’t get help from the Communist DC Swamp.

He needs to primary that RINO crapweasel Rubio. Polls here show DeSantis would crush Rubio in a primary. Rubio never met an anti Second Amendment bill he didn’t fall in love with. His “Terror Intelligence Improvement Act” must be stopped. The bill would summarily end the Second Amendment rights of anyone who has been “investigated” for “terrorism.”
Of course, that means all the fake investigations our corrupt FBI and other policing agencies launch to harass conservatives. And you can bet that this bill will never, ever be applied to anyone left of center.
Write your senator.
