A lot of things have happened last year, trades bringing in top tier talent like WR Tyreek Hill, DE/OLB Bradley Chubb, a few key FA signings, notably C/OG Connor Williams and LT Terron Armstead. With less than a handful of 2023 NFL Draft picks, the front office once again entered the trade market and acquired a huge piece for our defense, CB/S/LB Jalen Ramsey. There were a few FA signings, LB David Long formerly of the Tennessee Titans, S DeShon Elliott from the Detroit Lions, LB Malik Reed from the Steelers, TE Eric Saubert from the Broncos, WR Braxton Berrios and OG Dan Feeney from the Jets and more recently, we’ve signed a couple of OT’s, former 1st RD picks Isaiah Wynn from the Patriots, and Cedric Ogbuehi from the Jets. Besides player personnel, we also signed one of the defensive minds in the NFL, DC Vic Fangio.
I can’t remember a player added via trade that had an impact like Tyreek Hill. He was better than anyone could have hoped, he completely changed the offense, the game, everything. He’s a dynamic force that even when teams employ multiple personnel to try to contain him, is still able to impact the game. On the downside, Bradley Chubb was less, much less that advertised as a Dolphins defender last season. I think that changes significantly this season with Vic Fangio. I can’t wait to see Phillips and Chubb feast with Fangio running the D. Fangio, no doubt was behind acquiring Jalen Ramsey, who will deployed at multiple positions, but the key here is we have so much depth, with S Brandon Jones returning, and the addition of S DeShon Elliott so that Fangio can move guys around without missing a beat. The NFL is set up for parity, but our depth right now both on offense and defense is the best it’s been in a very long time.
Although we didn’t have a lot of picks in this year’s draft, that doesn’t mean we didn’t add valuable players, quite the contrary. Our first pick, CB Cam Smith will have opportunities to play this season. I can’t say he will be the starter outside Game 1, but I do believe he could be before the end of the season. He was a pick both for now, and definitely for the future. CB Xavien Howard is on the decline, and while he possesses excellent ball skills, we have seen his speed, mostly recovery speed diminish. I love that we re-signed AVG, and added Malik Reed and last year’s first pick (3rd RD pick) Channing Tindall will all be key depth guys to help rush the passer. Our depth is truly impressive, with starters DE Zach Sieler, NT Raekwon Davis and DE Christian Wilkins, and then the LB crew of Jaelan Phillips, David Long, Jerome Baker and Bradley Chubb, CB’s Xavien Howard and Jalen Ramsey, along with safeties Brandon Jones and Jevon Holland. There will be a lot of mixing and matching personnel. Now keep in mind, this is just the defense I’m talking about!
Like I said, having only 4 picks doesn’t mean we didn’t bring in impact players, and I think our second pick, RB De’Von Achane may provide a ton of excitement this season. He will get touches as a return man, both punts and kicks. He will see the field as a RB, and he will be a demon as a receiver out of the backfield. With Hill, Waddle, Berrios, Anderson, Cracraft and even draft pick Elijah Higgins, you simply can’t cover ALL-THAT-SPEED. A-Chain is going to be fun to watch. Now I didn’t mention QB Mike White as one of our FA acquisitions, but let’s face it, we were ridiculously unlucky with our QB’s last season. Tua’s fragility has been well documented, but how many times did our 2nd and 3rd string QB’s get hurt, and a few times in the same game. Mike White also got knocked out of action, but he was tossed around like a rag doll by Buffalo that one game. I expect him, if needed to be better than what we had last season in Teddy Bridgewater and rookie Skylar Thompson. White was impressive when given decent protection, and he played through some tough rib injuries. We all hope Tua remains unscathed the entire season, but I believe if we need Mike White for a game or two, he can deliver.
On special teams, we have new punter, Jake Bailey formerly of the Patriots. K Jason Sanders looks to have a bounce back season. Braxton Berrios, and draftee De’Von Achane will be the return men. With the excellent depth we have on our defense, and offense, our ST’s coverage should be much better than last season with all the injuries. It’s not crazy to expect both our offense and defense to both be top units, certainly top 10 or better. When was the last time you felt this way, and had legitimate conviction about it? So, be excited Dolphins fans, really, be excited! It’s OK, I know somewhere inside there’s that Dolphins Fan Reflex that makes it difficult to get hyped, but we have a very talented team, and I think we have the right coaches to get what we need from the deep roster. GET HYPED!!!
GO DOLPHINS!!!

I get no vacation time except one paid weekend off a year where the boss makes arrangements to cover for me. I have to pay people to cover any other weekend I want off. Though when I do that, it gives me 12 days off in a row. Never done the math before and just realized I only work 104 days a year. Only downfall is it is every weekend for 48 straight hours. I usually sleep 10 to 15 of those hours though and still get paid for it.
I usually only take 2 weekends off a year, once for our wintertime anniversary/south Florida trip and the other for my annual scalloping trip coming up in 2.5 weeks.
Hey, with the 2 weekends off, I only work 100 days a year and since feels like too much. lol

Thanks Herd!
Congratulations Toba, I hope you all have a beautiful wedding day!
I’ll pass the well wishes along to Brian

Agreed!
No go for me this year. Hope you all have a blast.

M – 6 WEEKS!!! Holy fuck, how do you take them all with their 6 months in advance policy?
—————
It’s all about scheduling in advance. Very often, I must ‘guess’ what may happen 6 months in advance… or more specifically (not so much guessing), 12 months in advance if I’d like to take time off in December of the next year to be with fam and friends during the holiday season.
For every positive, there is a negative.
Why not block off 2 weeks in October, you’d have a high percentage of being at a Fest. Even if you’re wrong, you still have 4 mote weeks of vacation
Isn’t that exactly what spam would say!!??

True story
You know the song Drivers Seat it was put out in 1979 by Sniffin the Tears
Here’s the thing until last Sunday I never knew the name of this band and despite having heard this particular song occasionally since 79 I also never knew the actual name of this song. So on Sunday there’s a random post of this music video on my Facebook feed and it says Sniffin the Tears – Drivers seat and it says from 1979 so I said to myself that I probably know this song although in my mind I couldn’t recall it. So I play it and I’ll be damned they’re saying “drivers seat” when for all the times I’ve heard and enjoyed this song I thought they were saying “travecy “. And I always wondered what the hell is a “travecy”.
Honestly the song song sounds better saying Travecy, since learning they’re singing Drivers seat I don’t even like the song anymore

Lol…good question! Been here since 1998. And, thank god ATX is a little eccentric compared to the rest of Texas…I have 2 very faded T-shirts that have the unofficial slogan, “Keep Austin Weird.”
Met my best friend, lover, and wife (all one person-lol) and settled in. She helped me acclimate…lol.
Now, it’s home.

All the best to those starting that journey in union….
new Dolphins TE Kroft, due to his experience operating in offenses similar to Miami’s, may hit the ground running after 192 snaps without allowing a sack as an inline blocker with the 49ers last season. In fact, he hasn’t allowed a sack in his last 800 snaps over the last four seasons.
Durham Smythe allowed 3 sacks last year.

Based on how we approached the TE position this offseason it’s apparent that blocking was the goal. We’ll see how Conner and Higgins pan out as F-TEs.

well, living with her would’ve made anywhere enjoyable for you,
so I’m still wondering about the city itself,
although, of course, I’d be bringing my girl with me,
so anywhere’s automatic fun in that sense.
Yepper on the girl part…makes all the difference no matter where you are.
Imo, the only thing I miss living in Austin is the beach and the Dolphins.
As a city, it’s forward thinking, innovative, young, vibrant, eclectic, very outdoorsy with lots of river walks, spring-fed pools/rivers, walking and biking trails everywhere, lakes, fishing, boating, music, entertainment, arts, Circuit of the Americas, soccer team, college sports, college-town-ish (used to be), cleanish, national chefs (food has become so much better), lots of the festivals-food, music, crafts, kites, etc., vineyards nearby, yada, yada, yada, as there is always something going on and lots of seasonal events.
The skyline has completely changed in 25 years, for sure.
It’s very green here, and then 10 minutes later you are in the hill country.
I could go on and on…lol
Go to the beach at Hippy Hollow
😜
We were thinking of moving to Austin (Round Rock) about 10 years ago
Driving back to Dallas, we stopped to look at the housing market and ate at the Salt Lick, yum
Been there many times and with Mrs. K….lol.
And, it’s a topless town…Zilker Park has a spring-fed pool for swimming and cooling off and people watching….great for kids and pets, too…

She said he’s really big now, who knew
Omar says we were 4th in run D primarily, because of Davis
Couldn’t have had anything to do with how easy it was to throw on us, could it
I’ve been coming across some articles that state Fangio likes his DL to penetrate upfield more and not as much 2-gap twists and stunts that we have been using the last few years.
It was cool to hear Tua stopping practice because the guys were being sloppy and laying into them and the team came together and didn’t resent it they turned it up.
Have I told you guys lately that Keyshawn Johnson is a tool and a dolphins hater since they dissed him back when he was washed up but still wanted to play.
He’s not a good analyst regardless of his bias.

GAME ONE of the Stanley Cup Finals begins in about 20 minutes. I’m REALLY looking forward to it!
——————————
These teams seem pretty evenly matched. But I give a slight edge to the Florida Panthers for the following reasons;
#1) The visiting teams have won a clear majority of this year’s playoffs. And for 4 of the potential maximum of 7 games, the Panthers will be the visiting team. Florida has won NINE CONSECUTIVE ROAD GAMES DURING THIS AMAZING STREAK!
#2) BOBROVSKY is more experienced of the two starting goalies, another plus for the Panthers.
#3) Young Mr. Tkachuk has come up big in the overtime games.
#4) Most of the so-called “EXPERTS” are picking Vegas to win the CUP! Aren’t these guys the same “EXPERTS” who said the Boston Bruins would make short work of the Panthers??
—————-
DON’T GET ME WRONG; the Golden Knights have an outstanding team. I would NOT be shocked if they did win the Cup. But, because of the 4 reasons listed above, I’m picking FLORIDA to win their first Stanley Cup 4 games to 3!!
From now on I am identifying as “El Presidente.” I expect to be addressed as such.
How about Beaner🤣
How about El Commandante?
…you know…
just for a show of humility and all
I am going to identify as a dollar bill so I can tuck myself in a stripper’s G-string.
Identify being laminate! 😉
The Panthers’ DuClair scores the tying goal with 8 seconds left in the second period to tie this game up at 2-2!! The Panthers previously had hit the post THREE TIMES earlier in this game!!
Can the Panthers win their 10TH CONSECUTIVE PLAYOFF ROAD GAME TONIGHT?? — Or will the home standing Golden Knights win the first game of the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals??
Ought to be one helluva third period!!!
From now on, I’m going to identify myself as Dr.
Henceforth, I shall be known as Dr. Rigel Spikes…
Dennis Leary ROCKS!!! 😆
I’m most surprised that Dalvin Cook hasn’t been cut or traded yet. That it hasn’t happened already (right after June 1st), tells me that Vikes want compensation (trade).
My thinking is that when a vet who they like gets cut between now and TC, they will pounce… likely releasing him outright if a trade isn’t forthcoming.
The waiting game continues…
Conversely, we haven’t blown our load of new cap space so soon. That suggests to me that we, too, may be waiting for cuts between now and TC.
I think that likely cap-casualty David Bakhtiari would be an incredible FA signing for us… but he’s been A-Rod’s LT for some time… and the stej have much more cap space than we have to throw at him.
Teams don’t want to trade a valuable draft pick and pay what Cook is looking for. If they did this could have been done already. He’ll be 28 in August and with a history of shoulder injuries his value is not real high.
He’s a talented back but we all know the RB market. If he’s a FA I can see him getting a 2 year $12M up to 15 with incentives. Not sure we’ll do that though.
VGK with a big goal.
We have a talented team. Sign/extend our own. Wilkins, Hunt, Seiler.
Now THAT’S the smart move! Move our cap savings to next season, applying it to re-sign the likes of Wilkins, Hunt, and Seiler.
I can totally get on board with that, Bookman!
Much wisdom, you have! 🙂
M13, Bakhtiari was very good but hasn’t he been injured the better part of two seasons.
Congrats to the VGK for ending the Panthers 9 game road winning streak in the playoffs. Florida took way too many penalties, especially in the 3rd period, and they paid for it.
LOL, this is the absolute best way to watch a zombie movie

Congrats and good luck to the mob offspring tying/going to tie the knot.
And check this out. Omar knows NOTHING! Everyone knows Tim has such a tree in his back garden?🤷♂️
He could stick as a backup NT. We’ve got some good depth up front.
I see Ogbah rotating with Chubb and Phillips on the edge, but also playing snaps inside the tackles especially in nickel and dime. Wilkins and Sieler will play a lot of snaps inside tackles. Davis will likely see 15-20 snaps per game as a 0 technique NT. That’s what I think he is.
I’ll have to respectfully disagree with O. I think Raekwon Davis has been underwhelming for us. If he’d played better, I think our edge guys would have a lot more sacks. I also don’t think he’s the reason for anything good with our run defense, I think he’s been a non factor period.
Last year’s run defense had more to do with Wilkins than Davis
It takes more than one or two guys.
Watching the Mets vs Blue Jay’s. Every time Bo Bichette comes up, I can’t help but hear Boba Fett. 😂
Mets are tough to watch.
They sure are. They scream .500 at best. No pitching, no timely hitting.
Yep!
That was short lived. Sigh…
“Buffalo Bills make big move to boost their defense”
I hate click bait headlines. How does giving an extension to a player that is on your roster already for this season making “big move to boost their defense”?
They resigned DT Ed Oliver to a 4 year extension for 68 million with 45 million guaranteed.
That’s basically 17 mil per year. Will Wilkins be + or – of that?
I think in that range. He doesn’t have the sack numbers to go much higher.
Oliver is good and occasionally great, but he can be blocked.
He can be neutralized for most of a whole game.
Had a great Anniversary weekend (in the shitty parts of Texas)!
Astro’s Friday night!
Galveston Bike riding on Saturday!
It wasn’t Auston, but I had to make due
Happy Anniversary! What day? Ours was Saturday, the 3rd.
The 1st
I wanted to have a 1 in 12 chance of remembering it
Lol…stop it…sounds like you had fun!
Congrats!
Wilkins makes a lot more tackles than Oliver but has 3 less sacks over 3 seasons. I’d expect Wilkins to get paid at least as much or more than Oliver
4 years $75M wouldn’t surprise me. Not only is Wilkins productive but he’s a leader and brings a lot of energy to the team.
18 mil per at 4 years would be 72 mil. They would have to get a little creative with it. Put a bunch in a signing bonus and have most of it hit in years 2-4 when you consider our cap situation next year.
Yep and that’s how they do it.
I couldn’t work at company that treated me a like a robot.
?
I’m not sure I’d dig chipmunk stew.
Adam Rank has us losing to Washington, Vegas, and Denver, splitting with NE, yet sweeping both the jest and Bills and beating both SD and the Ravens on the road.
Crazy.
There will be teams we think we should have beaten but didn’t and a few we beat where we didn’t think we would.
The odd thing is, he has us finishing 11-6, which I’ll take if it includes winning the AFCE.

Anyone here catch the allegations that the California DA and Governor Newsom are throwing at Governor Ron DeSantis? Immigrants were flown from Texas to New Mexico to California, and the Cali DA is alleging DeSantis is behind it. CNN is more than happy to report this without any factual basis. This is the problem with MSM.
Hope you’re including FOX in that MSM problem…same shit, different station…lol
Krishna – there’s no question that Fox is antithesis to CNN. Problem is, there are thousands like CNN, and only a handful like Fox. It’s not a fair fight at all.
How many concussions did Chris Simms receive in his playing career?
And didn’t Tua have a better passer rating than Josh Allen last season? Didn’t Tua lead the league in passer rating last season? Ya know… that guy Tua, who Chris Simms says sucks?

Lol…not sure he had any! He’s always been stupid though…imo…never a leader, never a good QB, and he’s a terrible analyst…lol
On Chris Simms…I’ve followed him since UT and it’s always painful…lol
Simms had a ruptured spleen once. Maybe you lose some brain cells with that type of injury. lol
I’d like to rupture his spleen again with all of his hatred over our Phins. SMH
And I’m obviously not being serious about threatening physical violence… but Simms is such a CLOWN! WOW!
It’s brutal trying to listen to Simms and Florio. It’s like listening to two guys discussing a Parcheesi match. LOL

Wasn’t CNN bought by a guy who donated a quarter million dollars to Trump’s inauguration?
Hasn’t he sent down orders to cancel Stelter’s show?
Hasn’t he directed CNN to stop doubting Trump’s claim of winning the last election?
I think he has said he wants CNN to be more like FOX.
CNN has taken a sharp turn toward supporting Trump.
No idea, but if a Trump ally bought CNN, then going after DeSantis makes sense

M13, Bakhtiari was very good but hasn’t he been injured the better part of two seasons?
————–
I keep forgetting (like Michael McDonald) that fact. Don’t even know what Bakhtiari’s injuries were or what his current status is regarding recovery from those injuries.
That stated, the stej have a LOT of $$$ to reunite Bakhtiari with A-Rod in the Big Apple should the Pack cut him.
I’ll dip my toes into the political dialogue this evening, but very briefly. As much as I really like Ron DeSantis, if it’s true that he’s being backed and funded by the duopoly dynasty (sure as hell looks like it), I’m against him.
For the better part of the last 50 years, the duopoly dynasty had its way… and that’s exactly why we’re in the predicament that we’re in currently. JMO, as always.
DeSantis is backed by Americans who want results without juvenile, egocentric bullshit. Trump is backed by a trailer park personality cult. Trump is not a conservative and he’s not about America. He is about Trump. He is currently attacking his opponents from leftist positions. He only cares about himself.
DeSantis is also down by over 40 points in many recent state and national polls since throwing his hat in the ring last week.
Gotta be honest: Trump pissed me off attacking DeSantis over Disney last week. SMH. Do BETTER, Trump!
However, if there are that many trailer park supporters of Trump to swing the vote that hard, America has indeed become a 2nd-world country to have so many trailer parks… perhaps more than ever before in modern American history.
I’ll support the GOP nominee, regardless of who he or she ends up being. No more of this Biden BS. JMO, as always.
I think we’ll see the polls change over the next few months. And let’s not forget that the polls had Hillary beating Trump in a landslide. On no more Biden we can agree.
CNN is owned by Warner Discovery, hardly a bastion of conservatism. The CNN CEO has said he wants actual journalism rather than partisan activism.
I would imagine that Ted Turner stills wields a lot of influence at Warner Discovery, but I don’t know that to be fact.
Dunno if he is still involved or how much.
Actual journalism, what a concept!

I believe the same, I don’t think Trump can win, he’s strong with his own backers, but no one else wants any part of that act again.
Wow…Heat stole one in Denver….nice.
Hoopla over SEC not reworking it’s schedule for 2024 to play 9 conference games v 8 is a joke, imo. Most of the top, if not all of the top teams, play a Power Five team, i.e. Alabama v Texas, and is the best conference in college football, by far.
Give it a rest….lol.
It will probably all change after ONE year with a new ESPN deal in 2025. Lol.
Bills, LB Leonard Floyd agree to one-year deal
He was Von Miller’s tag team partner/sack combo with the Rams. They are now reunited with the Bills.
I came across this article, “NFL Players Primed for Breakout Seasons on New Teams in 2023” and decided to look at it and see if it mentioned any of our new players. It didn’t. It did list “TE Hunter Long, Los Angeles Rams”. I was like, LOL.
Floyd to Bills is not good.
I agree, 9, 9.5, and 10.5 sacks last 3 years
I guess the Vikings are hoping to either work out a new deal with Cook or they’re still holding out for a trade.
For us it’s about at what price if he’s released. Is Cook so much better at a high price than what we have at RB? I’m not so sure. How much more are his yards worth at the end of the day? His numbers would have to be elite level to match the higher price than what we could get from Mostert and Wilson. We don’t know yet what kind of impact Achane will make.
John Malone, the guy who bought CNN, used to own a third of Fox.
He is a big Trump supporter.
For the record, I’ve never been a big fan of Disney or CNN or Ted Turner.
And I know all 3 quite well.
Ted Turner is 84 and sold CNN in 1996 and
was removed from management in 2000.
Like Phish said, news networks should be about actual journalism and not political activism. I think most people are tired of the latter.
^
Tim,
I don’t think we need Dalvin Cook at this point either. Now I’d welcome him with open arms(!), but we already have a hydra in our running game, IMO.
I would say that we’re trying to inflate Cook’s value by ‘showing interest’ in him. Latest rumor is that he wants to join the stej.
Another thing on Cook is, would you rather he go to jets or bills
Could care less.
The Jets have a really good young back in Breece Hall and some solid depth with Carter and Co., so not sure that’s a fit. The Bills would be the Cook brothers.
I was all in on Cook before we re-signed our entire backfield and then added Achane. Only so many touches to go around. He’s not a need but a luxury at this point.
Mike E., it is my understanding FOX News was founded on the premise of offering a conservative perspective. To that extent that succeeded.
What YOU don’t understand, is they didn’t have to get there by aping liberal MSM and besting them in the mud, they could have done it with true conservative reporting.
And, they didn’t….lol
When you know the slant a news network has before you hear a word it’s not really news.
Lol…yep
I was trying to be kind.
Extend Wilkins and Sieler and find an RT and LG…lol. Fuck Cook!
Tua was the only QB in the entire NFL
to finish with an EPA per dropback over 1.
(That’s a good thing.)
These stats are courtesy of Nick Shook.
Tua finished 2nd in the league in deep passing to Geno Smith.
Geno had a 116.8 passer rating on deep balls, but Tua had a 122.1.
And Tua had a better comp % than Geno, 54% to 47%.
But Geno threw 13 TDs on deep balls to 2 INTs.
Tua threw 10 TDs to 2 picks.
Both ended up with a score of 99 .
These are NFL official Next Gen stats.
A healthy Tua is dangerous for the NFL.
Krishna – Fox News is garbage, but sometimes I’d rather watch garbage than the same same old bullshit I see on every other news channel. I started out Sunday with CNN, just to see what they had to say, and sure enough, they didn’t disappoint with a character assassination piece of DeSantis with no proof from the uber left DA from Cali, who is a disciple of Gavin Newson who hates DeSantis. Then I turned on my local WPIX news and they have good ole Chuck Schumer telling the reporter how the Dems spanked the Republicans, or the Maga Republicans as he calls it, with the new debt ceiling bill. It’s a shame, but it’s all one sided, and sometimes I’d rather see the other side, whether it’s true, accurate, because I’m tired of seeing just one side.
What amazes me is how locked in people get with a political party regardless of the issue. It’s like a a cult; I must agree with everything my masters tell me.
They are all garbage so don’t think I’m naive to that…lol.
And, I too am curious about the garbage on both sides, but still walk away from the reak…lol.
You should see Texas politics…omfg…lol.
I live in the blueberry town of Texas…lol.
Mike, I’m not sure what this particular shipment of refugees is that is being discussed now, but it isn’t character assassination if he brags about it in the press and uses the fact that he ships people from the border to liberal cities as a political stunt. He may not have shipped the particular immigrants in question but he has gone so far as to have his cronies in the legislature pass a law allowing him to spend Florida Tax Dollars on these political stunts and he brags about it on camera.
I think it’s good that every state isn’t the same. There are different cultures that make the nation work. But some things need to be across the board or it doesn’t work. That’s the state we’re in.
In addition to my pleasure in following the Heat and Panthers in the playoffs, our local minor league hockey team is in the Kelly Cup playoffs as well.
They’re the Florida Everblades… get it?
At my low level of knowledge of hockey, minor league matches are in some ways more fun because some guys are good and some not, so you can really see the talent shine out with some amazing skating and shot-making.

I agree, and I think you’re exactly right. The Federalist Papers are something I feel every American should read. Problem is, most are far too lazy to read as much, most don’t really care, and most will never understand the WHY of the Federalist Papers.
Rock – He may brag about it, and that’s his prerogative, but that was shipping immigrants out of his state, the state he’s Governor of, Florida. These allegations are stating DeSantis shipped immigrants that first went to Texas, then to New Mexico, and had nothing to with Florida. I’m not saying it’s not possible that it’s true, but it was a one sided hit piece from a slimy liberal Cali DA, spawned from a more slimy liberal Governor of Cali, Gavin Newsom, who happens to hate DeSantis.
Anyway, it’s a pattern. The media was quite compliant in destroying Donald Trump by first being more than happy to carry the Russian collusion election interference (without a shred a proof). The left tried to impeach Trump before he even took office, and the media is more than happy to lend a hand in helping them do so. So now, as a preemptive strike, they’re already starting on DeSantis, the next guy in line as NY tries to put Trump in prison. It’s pretty funny, except it’s not funny, it’s dangerous. One of our former posters here is a friend of mine on FB, and he posts anti-conservative posts nearly every day, mostly character assassinations of DeSantis. Seems after Bad Orange Man, he’s the next boogeyman.
Also, my point is, is it really “news” when you’re reporting a story without any factual information, just what one guy from a liberal state says about another guy from a conservative state, without a shred of evidence other than the one time DeSantis shipped immigrants from Florida to Martha’s Vineyard? Does that mean that DeSantis is the mastermind pulling all the strings on all transportation of immigrants now? It’s not “news”, it’s desperate bullshit.
No you are wrong. He was shipping them out of Texas to other states it was none of his fucking business.
Krishna – What’s the blueberry town of Texas mean? I could look it up, but I’d rather hear it from you. lol
Austin
yepper
And like I said. It wasn’t one time and it wasn’t from Florida he is using Florida taxpayer money to ship people from the Texas border and bragging about it so no it’s not a hit piece it’s factual.
He said as/is spending money authorized by the duly elected legislature to share the impacts of illegal immigration with the liberal states that support and encourage the illegal immigration. Seems fair to me. Florida is the way it is because of the policies and because that’s the way most Floridians want it. Seems to me you just don’t like Florida.
Seems that way to you does it?
It does. Seems like you hate most things about Florida. Not me. Just landed back in Key West and I’m happy to be home.
California has an even better climate, but it’s…you know… California and it’s all fucked up by people who hate the American way.
Rock – Not sure what you’re talking about. DeSantis sent immigrants from Florida to Martha’s Vineyard Massachusetts. Can you please give me a link of other flights you’re claiming?

Their day at the beach
Made your day at the beach possible
Never forget the brave soldiers on this anniversary of D-Day
💪🙏🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧
Amen!
They were not for Florida they were from Texas
They weren’t from Texas, they were from all different countries that crossed ILLEGALLY. And if I recall right it was the Biden administration shipping them all over the country in the middle of the night to several states without notifying the state’s governors on taxpayers dollars. 🧐
San Antonio.
Meanwhile there seems to be some hanky-panky with the money set aside
