Washington DC has let us down so very bad. The news the last four years sounds like it came from a circus. Ron DeSantis sounds so professional I hope Washington DC is listening.

Real leadership. Whether you like Desantis or not, this is what it looks like. I wish the Federal Government operated the same way.

Great job Gov. DESANTIS! Way to be on top of things before the storm even hits it sounds like you're ready to support your states needs in all aspects. I hope the people under evacuation orders listen and are able to get out of the way asap and in time. Good luck to you all.
