I recently received the great news that Governor DeSantis has been honored with the prestigious William F. Buckley Award…
Beware that I’ve deliberately used many useful links to help provide readers with information that they would have to spend countless hours, which I’ve done for them, in double checking and sourcing the pertinent material found below.
I met probably the best Governor in Florida history some years ago several times at some of his presentations in Florida before he was Governor.
On one occasion, while others were eating, I saw him alone and walked up to him with my forever timely book, and we had a nice 20-minute chat about the Middle East together.
Afterwards, when we both decided to eat ourselves, we got our food, sat down, and continued our conversation.
I subsequently handed him a personalized copy of my beautiful hardback book, he looked me in the eye, and guaranteed that he would personally read it from cover to cover. It’s currently in use in dozens of universities and other institutions of higher learning all across the globe.
Below you’ll read some more about the great honor he recently received named for the godfather of modern Conservatism, William F. Buckley, Jr…
I will never forget one episode of Buckley’s tv program in which he intellectually castrated fellow columnist and Conservative, the rabidly antisemitic and anti-Israel Pat Buchanan.
Despite much opposition in Florida, and hyped up false accusations on various policies, DeSantis has been, on the whole, a godsend to Florida.
When vile and violent anti-Zionist and antisemitic demonstrations and encampments were breaking out and being set up in numerous campuses across America and elsewhere, he moved instantaneously to shut them down in Florida.
With some exceptions due to conflicting interests, his policies on environmental issues have been very good as well.
While, unfortunately, too many secondary as well as higher level schools were succumbing to “woke” curricula, largely being financed and supplanted by numerous millions of dollars being contributed by autocratic, black and other slave working Arab oil potentates, he took steps to limit this damage as much as possible.
Governor DeSantis has at least taken serious steps to minimize this damage.
In comparison, for real estate and other business and commercial reasons, President Trump and family and fellow real estate moguls have established extremely close ties with Arab trillionaire oil potentates who not only finance and enable Hamas and other jihadi butcher groups like it, but who flood our universities and secondary schools with hard needed cash.
This not only affects what is taught and included on curricula, but also who gets to teach the subjects as well.
See here for some examples of what I’m referring to…
And next …and an updated version:
President Trump achieved some noble and great things during his first term in office regarding the strategically important region of MENA and the Arab-Israeli conflict in particular.
See some of these here… and here…
But, some very dangerous decisions have been made in this region during Trump’s second term so far. Instead of reinventing the wheel about these problematic policies, please take your time and review the results of my own impeccably researched analyses. I’ve done extensive doctoral work in this area and National Security Policy Studies:
There is no doubt in my mind that, for instance, unlike President Trump or a President Vance, a President DeSantis would never have pressured Israel to let 200 Hamas butchers it has trapped in Gaza tunnels to go free. This is what happens when Hamas protectors and financiers like Qatar are made to be more of a friend by Trump than a victimized Israel.
DeSantis also would have worked to achieve all of the President’s first term accomplishments, like moving the American embassy to and recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s 3,000 year old eternal capital, defunding hostile UN agencies, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and so forth.
Again, I state this as someone to whom Governor DeSantis looked right in the eyes and pledged to read this by himself from cover to cover.
One Response
I see something of a resemblance between your “impeccable humility” and that of President Trump, but I must say I prefer your version for obvious reasons.
It truly mystifies me that the current money-hungry, deal-making crowd don’t realize that the ordinary “man in the street” sees through their machinations with great ease. Or perhaps they don’t really care.
