DeSantis shines, Harris declines
/David Strom: DeSantis Is America's Governor: Rescuing North Carolinians AND Deploying Guard to Ports
Ron DeSantis is undoubtedly America's most competent governor in generations and probably the most skilled in generations.
It was DeSantis' skill at governing and fighting the leftists where it matters that attracted me to him when he was running for president, and I still believe he would have been the best president since Reagan had he won.
But it was not to be. We chose Donald Trump because he has been battling the bad guys, and I am okay with his being the candidate.
#BREAKING: DeSantis says Florida National Guard is being deployed to ports impacted by ongoing strike to maintain order and, if possible, resume operations

"Florida is open - we want to use our resources to get this stuff to the market."
But if there is anything we have learned over the past year, DeSantis is even better than we knew. His ability to mobilize government resources to fix problems is unmatched, as we have seen with the latest hurricanes to hit the East Coast. He had rescue operations wrapped up lickety-split and sent the Florida National Guard to harder hit areas in North Carolina before FEMA was even getting spun up.
Florida is literally carrying more weight than the federal government

They are running flights, sending personnel and resources to North Carolina. Biden and Kamala are nowhere to be seen, while NC must wait.
Trump is visiting Georgia too. Major GOP show of leadership. https://t.co/F8vhCmKeIN
There’s much more at the linked-to article, all of which is worth reading, I especially like how Strom finishes:
But what I do know is that Republicans are shining and proving their competence and compassion and that the Biden administration can't even get a photo op right.
It's perfect

Bonus material: I just ran across this article from last June: Weird: DeSantis signed a law requiring hospitals to ask patients about immigration status and suddenly Medicaid spending on illegal immigrants plummeted.
