DeSantis-backed candidates flip Florida school board from liberal to conservative
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Conservatives across the state of Florida celebrated on Tuesday night after control of the Sarasota County School Board shifted from liberal to conservative.
Bridget Ziegler, Robyn Marinelli, and Timothy Enos were all endorsed by Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and were all victorious Tuesday night in their elections for the Sarasota School board.
Various conservatives in the state touted the victories and suggested they represented a shift against Critical Race Theory and other "woke" policies that DeSantis and Republicans in Florida have railed against.
"Sarasota School Board had a 3-2 liberal majority," Christina Pushaw, rapid response director for DeSantis's reelection campaign, tweeted on Tuesday night.
"Today @RonDeSantisFL endorsed candidates won and flipped the school board so it's now 4-1 anti wokes indoctrination and pro parental rights."

"All three of our endorsed candidates in Sarasota County, Florida have WON their elections.," the 1776 Project Pac tweeted. "We just flipped the school board from a 3-2 liberal majority to 4-1 conservative."
Former Associated Press editor Ted Bridis tweeted Tuesday night that 25 conservative school board candidates supported by DeSantis won elections.

DeSantis also had a big night in Miami Dade County where conservative school board candidates also took control.
"The 1776 Project PAC was successful across the state of Florida," Ryan Girdusky, founder of the 1776 Project PAC, told Fox News Digital. "This shows what happens when conservatives like the 1776 Project PAC, Moms for Liberty, and Gov. DeSantis team up behind great candidates. Florida today, the country."

Typically school board elections involve candidates that we know little about. In Florida they have taken the guess work out of it.
A victory for parents.
Donald Trump is absolutely off topic
It appears to be statewide.

Florida has been the beneficiary of DeSantis anti-woke policies.
Without comment ... shades of Michael Dukakis.
Dukakis had the big nose and the tank.
Omg....He is such a dick.
Of course I don't know if this commercial will be effective or not but I see several major differences between this and the Dukakis one:
Well done, sir!
Give it time. I believe it's Tea time in Canada.
Marginally better than the Dean Scream.
Why is he wearing a bomber jacket? Was he a pilot in the military?
Don't Know? He volunteered for the Navy and was an advisor to Seal Team 1. He also served in Iraq in 2007.
The Navy
Not the Air Farce!
Yes, like Bo Biden.
It was the real Navy as opposed to this:
Are you jealous of the military status/service, Vic since you have none I can see why it bothers you.
You have a problem with female air force fighter pilots ?
Those professional divas.
Jealous? I happen to admire the military, except for a few.
Where did you see me say that?
Why are three people speaking for one?
[deleted]
they definitely have less life experience handling a joy stick than most republican males...
I speak for myself, Vic. My friends are quite capable of doing the same.
Is that what you see?
Aren't you proud of those women?
So tell me why you used the word "divas?"
He's taking a shot at the Air Force, which is the service branch to which these women are attached.
I was only distinguishing the Navy from the Air Force, since the question had been raised. He wasn't a bomber pilot.
I might ask you the same, as you are the one who introduced the phrase to NT.
I'm right here Sandy. That's not true. I admire every branch of the military and the women who serve.
I guess I should have used this picture:
I love them all!
The both served in the military as attorneys.
You should have asked me instead of that little end around, which I consider as a taunt.
If that were so, you wouldn't have posted a picture with a negative comparison. You're backpedaling. Nobody is buying it.
What is negative about that picture?
And why does it take 3 people to speak for one?
I didn't have any reason to ask you, Vic. And I'm sure you consider it a taunt when your own words are used against you.
The word "diva?"
Why would you introduce it today against me?
Your words were negative, Vic. Own them.
Why post a pic of female military members with a negative description, Vic?
Your 2.6.5 post sure looks like it.
[deleted]
[comments about other members are always off topic & no value]
they were wearing coveralls instead of skirts and heels...
What was the negative description of that picture?
That's 3 times Sandy
Four people!
Life isn't fair! Sometimes coveralls are required.
Your threshold for what you consider a taunt is exceedingly low.
Everyone here knows your words were meant to be a negative comparison. Your comments are deliberately prejudiced against the Air Force, women, or both. And everybody here knows that, Vic.
It may be in your case. I wouldn't flag you for that.
It's very simple. Those who wear their service on their sleeve should never question the service of another.
Should those who have never served question the service of those who have?
That's not only untrue, it's a sweeping generalization.
Does everybody mean the 5 people who ran to the defense of the woman who questioned DeSantis service?
No.
Standard deflection
That's not what's involved here. Your pal did the questioning
Sure, sure. You didn't mean it that way. Uh huh.
I saw somebody question DeSantis wearing a bomber jacket. I also saw somebody mock Biden for wearing aviator sunglasses. Big deal.
Fuck off. At least I served
It is a big deal when that person flaunts her service. I think DeSantis should get the same respect she got.
What say you?
That's better. I shouldn't be arguing with Sandy.
He served, just like you did!
Is there some law against it?
If yes, shotgun Joe better stop wearing aviators.
Beau Biden is dead.
What few would those be, Vic the ones that call out your bullshit?
I served longer than the [Deleted] above me. It may have only been the Air "Farce" and I can't call myself a Marine for the rest of my life but I can call myself a veteran. [Deleted]
Joe Biden never served. He got 5 military deferments while attending College!
That would be me, you, and all the other folks on here that call him on his bullshit
The few who embarrassed the military
and trmp go 5 for fucking bone spurs
I know you're not talking about me. I served honorably and received quite a few awards during my tour of duty.
I didnt embarass the military and neither did Kavika
This wasn't about Trump. It was about DeSantis.
Thanks for showing up.
Tessylo, the dead can't continue to troll and deflect.
So are you a “panty waist” to people who served longer than you?
Veteran opinions that I question: Veterans who think their service is somehow more righteous than others. The only Veterans who qualify to think that way IMO are real combat Veterans. Interestingly I’ve never met one of those who think that way. Not a real one anyways.
Another one of which we lost Tuesday after a five year battle with Agent Orange related cancers. A good friend, a patriot and Vietnam Combat Veteran. I already miss him greatly.
So I guess he should not be able to wear flight jackets or aviators sunglasses right?
Oops!
What, no names Vic? How would you even comprehend what would embarrass the military?
what about those veterans that reneged on their oaths to defend the constitution by continuing to support a failed insurrectionist on the verge of being indicted for espionage? how about them?
Interesting “that” is all you see in that picture .....
What insurrection?
Didn't you know? Those "men" and "women" are the real patriots! Those of us who served our time obeyed the law are just flaunting our service.
I think whether someone deserves respect depends on the totality of their behavior.
THAT'S THE SPIRIT!
Thank you for your service. How long were you in for?
Lol .... no thanks but you are welcome to do so.
It’s classified top secret.
She could tell you but then she would have to kill you .....
Well Kavika, I think we can start with the 3 Marines who viciously raped and beat a 12 year old girl on Okinawa back in the 1990's.
Would you consider that an embarrassment?
I asked myself "what kind of Marine would do such a thing?'
I am sure you don't want me to post their pictures.
Yup. I doubt we'll hear anything about those 3 Marines. I'm sure some may have googled the incident and they are looking at them now.
Why would you assume something so ridiculous? They committed a crime they should be punished. DUH
Doubtful any real man would ever reciprocate .... I know I wouldn’t based on what I see here
I'm glad you agree.
People sometimes are under the false assumption that all military personnel are of high character and nothing could be further from the truth. As a group we are no different than the rest of society.
Good and bad.
[deleted]
Is he saying that we would defend those scumbags?
They were scumbags, all three of them.
Some need to follow the discussion: Post # 2.6.88
They wanted me to be specific about those few veterans I didn't admire.
They got their answer,
So was this guy.
That's kind of irrelevant. Kavika asked me a loaded question and I gave him the definitive answer.
[deleted]
Oh. I see. Because they are black you thought we would defend them.
[removed]
I am following the discussion.
You can be a real nasty person. You're snide. I hate snide.
No he didn't. You were hinting that there were veterans right here on NT that you don't respect. [deleted] You started back pedaling as soon as the words flew out of your keyboard
You calling it irrelevant doesn't make it so.
Everybody here is participating of their own volition.
Why not? Biden wears aviator glasses for a failed attempt at looking cool. Was he ever a pilot in the military?
Sounds like what Biden does.
“Was he ever a pilot in the military?”
Is this akin to asking ‘How dare he wear a tan jacket’? Get a life, man.
[deleted]
Where did I ask that?
Maybe it is you that needs to get a life...
[Deleted, always a CoC]
[deleted meta]
[removed]
Why do you think that you can speak for all of us?
Not loaded at all Vic, you were hinting that there were vets on NT that you didn't respect. So I asked the question and you ran back 30 years to find 3 black Marines that you didn't respect. Three murderers I doubt there is anyone alive that respects them.
I knew that's the way you took it, but you were wrong. I don't have any less respect for those who served because of something like political views.
you ran back 30 years to find 3 black Marines that you didn't respect.
That was the prime example of service members who brought shame onto the military. It wasn't a small incident. It almost led to Japan asking the US to leave.
So you say.
The crime was on Okinawa and the people of Okinawa have been requesting that the US military presence be removed for some time. Sadly there is a long list of crimes against the people of Okinawa by the US Military for decades. The latest being 2019.
Do you mean as opposed to the real Air Force Vic? Please clarify.
“I am profoundly grateful for Japan’s resolute support for democracy, freedom, and the rule of law and for Okinawa’s contribution to advancing these ideals.” President Biden on his trip to Japan earlier this year,
Between 2015 and 2020, 69 Marines have been found guilty of sexual assault of minors in Okinawa alone, and those are just some of the few that were prosecuted.
Tens of THOUSANDS of sexual assaults by US military members against our own every fucking year.
There have been dozens of cases of convictions for murder and manslaughter by the military in Iraq and Afghanistan.
So, why did you choose to go back to the 1990's to single out those particular 3 Marines?
Was Douglas MacArthur?
Seriously, one need not be a pilot to wear 'aviator' style glasses. I have been wearing mine [a present] since my cataracts have gotten worse.
The same cannot be said of the Top Gov 'imagery' from DeSantis' ad. Note that DeSantis and his kid are wearing aviator style glasses in the ad too. Was DeSantis 'attempt at looking cool' a failure too?
In 2.6.109.
In college, I wore a WWII Navy leather flight jacket and a wool Pea Coat. I got both at a surplus store cheap.
I have always worn that style. They fit my face better.
Maybe you need to follow along with the thread. The original post was mocking DeSantis for wearing a bomber jacket, stating he should not be wearing one because he was never a pilot.
Hence my question about Biden and his aviators.
So tell me, Dulay, in all of your "superior" knowledge,why should DeSantis not be able to wear a bomber jacket. After all, he did serve in the Navy, where Biden did nothing but claim he was appointed by Senator Boggs, where, curiously, no one can find evidence of this alleged appointment.
In other words, he lied.
Yes as a response another poster.
So, technically........and probably the first time....you are kinda right.
Congratulations....s/
I give Joe the benefit of the doubt, with his memory fading, he gets confused.
Yes, as do most others with dementia, however, in this case...he lied.
deleted
A 'vintage' Eisenhower wool jacket is how I learned I can't wear wool.
So, technically, probably for the first time, though you could have done so enumerable times, you kinda admit that you were wrong.
Maybe you shouldn't presume.
Actually, that is FALSE.
The 'original post' was a QUESTION. No mocking involved.
In fact, I haven't seen any post mocking him for wearing a bomber jacket or stating that he shouldn't wear one. Care to post a link?
Yes, I know, juvenile tit for tat when I see it.
Strawman.
Since when is a politician lying an issue for you and yours bugsy? From what I have been seeing in GOP candidates, lying is a badge of honor.
I’m so sorry to learn that.
Uh, yea...I did.I also denied you the last word that you obviously wanted.
Anytime a leftist questions something of a conservative, it is normally mocking. This is no different.
"Yes, I know, juvenile tit for tat when I see it. "
I'm curious why you didn't caution the same to the original poster.
Oh, wait...never mind..we know.
"Strawman"
All you had to say was "I have no answer". It would have been far more accurate....and honest...of what you posted.
"From what I have been seeing in GOP candidates, lying is a badge of honor. "
Of course, a deflection for lyin' Biden, but you are not allowed to admit that he lied on here. Your loon card would be taken away. .
Maybe you need to follow along with the thread. The question wasn't asked of a conservative.
FAIL.
Strawman comments do not warrant answers, especially when so obviously based on an intentionally inaccurate and dishonest characterization as your comment was.
No deflection at all bugsy. It's just hilarious to see the faux outrage at alleged lies by Biden while y'all blow off Trump's lies with claims that 'all politicians lie'.
Take your supercilious bullshit to someone who respects your opinion bugsy.
Delusional.
Yep. Most leftist responses are.
Reading comprehension, Dulay...reading comprehension. Never did I say the question was directed to a conservative
FAIL!!
"Strawman comments do not warrant answers"
Again, all you had to say was "I have no answer". Much more honest than using words you use a lot but probably don't have an understanding of it.
"It's just hilarious to see the faux outrage at alleged lies by Biden while y'all blow off Trump's lies with claims that 'all politicians lie'. "
Deflection. Who is this "ya'll" you are speaking of? Name names.
"Take your supercilious bullshit to someone who respects your opinion bugsy. "
Don't care what you respect. I brought it to you and you have nothing but insults and no rebuttal.
In other words......the liberal way.
"Bla Bla Bla". LOL.
Right wing comments on this site are usually not only fact free, but also content free. Its all about conservative grievances against the rest of the world.
The projection in that comment is wicked strong.
lol. You couldnt debate your way out of a wet paper bag.
"The projection in that comment is wicked strong.". That kind of junk is 90% of your comments.
Thx John, it’s always nice to get more reinforcement that my thoughts are once again, spot on. Your input is always appreciated ...... you have wonderful day now ya hear!
Oh but you DID bugsy:
That was you right?
Again, strawmen don't warrant an answer.
Again, take your supercilious bullshit to someone who respects your opinion bugsy.
Now there is a word you are using a lot but don't seem to have an understanding of it.
Your thumbs up buddies, though it looks like only one has shown up for you in this seed.
Ditto.
All you've brought are strawmen and claims you can't manage to support.
I'm still waiting for that link of someone mocking DeSantis for wearing a bomber jacket or stating that he shouldn't wear one. Find it yet bugsy?
John, you get your ass handed to you every single thread.
You know how I know this?
Besides the idiocy of most of your comments, your go to argument is to bring Trump into every single seed. This is a classic of those that know they have lost.
You have last a lot.
[deleted .never] did I say the question was directed to a conservative. For your educational purposes, my comment reflected a loon leftist making a post ABOUT a conservative.
[deleted]
"Again, strawmen don't warrant an answer. "
Once again, an excuse to avoid admitting you have no coherent answer.
"Again, take your supercilious bullshit to someone who respects your opinion bugsy. "
Apparently you do because you keep responding to it.
"Deflection. "
Doing the best you can to not admit you don't know the meaning of strawman.
"Your thumbs up buddies, though it looks like only one has shown up for you in this seed"
Don't have any "thumbs up buddy", but hey, if you say there is one, that means I have one hundred percent more than you do. . I'm sure one of your thumbs up buddy will come in and make sure the score is evened so you don't have to face any more embarrassment.
"I'm still waiting for that link of someone mocking DeSantis for wearing a bomber jacket or stating that he shouldn't wear one. Find it yet bugsy? "
I hate having to do your research but I will this time. It was very easy to find one 2.6.19. Now, I'm sure you won't recognize it as mocking as you more than likely agree with the post.
Asking OF a conservative does NOT equate to asking ABOUT a conservative.
For the third and final time, your strawman doesn't warrant an answer. I don't play that gave.
By your standard, you hold my opinion in high regard.
Again, take your supercilious bullshit to someone who respects your opinion bugsy.
Nope, I don't see it as mocking because it isn't mocking, nor is there anything in that comment stating that he shouldn't be wearing a bomber jacket.
FAIL.
Hm...correct twice in one day? Suprising
I never said that the post was asking a question to a conservative. Maybe one of these days you will see that.
"For the third and final time, your strawman doesn't warrant an answer. I don't play that gave"
And for the third time, you keep responding.
"By your standard, you hold my opinion in high regard"
Delusional. I find your opinion laughable and boring. \
"Again, take your supercilious bullshit to someone who respects your opinion bugsy"
Again, you must, because you keep responding to it.
"Nope, I don't see it as mocking because it isn't mocking, nor is there anything in that comment stating that he shouldn't be wearing a bomber jacket. "
Thanks....You made my point.
Your comment illustrates an epic level of cognitive dissonance.
"Typically when a person avoids answering a question, that question was posed by another person in a debate or discussion. In such cases, the person is not only evincing flawed reasoning but also violating basic principles of discussion."

BREAKING NEWS: Matt Gaetz wins GOP nomination to represent Florida's First District
https:// fxn.ws/3PKM6ia
Did you hear all that pedo shit about him was made up? Heard just a short blip on it and not much else is being reported. Perhaps I didn't catch all the details............or maybe I heard wrong.
I'll check that out.
It's a name that his future sister-in-law gave him. She was a WH intern last year.
Winner of the Matt Gaetz look-alike contest.
Undeniable similarities - high forehead, toothy, clenched jaw, pumped fist, dumb as a rock.
Yet. . he won..
We owe it all to the Biden agenda.
This guy looks more like Beavis from Beavis and Butthead fame than any other human being I've ever seen.
Compared to Joe Biden he looks like Superman
"Pa. Dem Senate nominee Fetterman: Decriminalize all drugs, criminalize corporate price hikes"
"Pennsylvania Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who is running against GOP candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz in the U.S. Senate race, has supported soft-on-crime policies, COVID-19 lockdowns, pro-CRT teachers' unions, decriminalizing all drugs, and criminalizing price hikes by private companies."
That creepy looking thing is all Dr Oz has to beat!
You forgot that he grooms kids for pedophiles, has a Soviet Union flag in his bathroom , speaks French, and melted down twenty AR-15's.
Candidate character means a lot!
That might be the strangest thing you have ever said considering what you defend every day.
It's not so strange if you consider that I'm only repeating what MSNBC hosts keep saying.
Character now seems to mean a Marxist who wants to destroy the country, yet sounds compassionate when it comes to 4 or 5 groups.
But, you forgot the important part:
Fetterman chased an innocent jogging black man with a shotgun and held him until police came.
Imagine a Republican candidate did that for a second…
but he has a (d) after his name so it’s cool.
That's right. I noticed that we didn't get any lecture on "race" when I posted his creepy picture.
There apparently is no bottom to the depths of "whataboutism" you will explore.
How many seeds would you have posted calling a Republican candidate a racist if they acted like fetterman, do you think?
20, 30?
Well, what "about" Fetterman? Is he fit to hold office
You really need to stop being ridiculous.
Like calling someone a "dog face pony".
You have never referred to anyone's looks have you?
LOL
Glad to help you.
You wouldn't be Judith Martin?
She would certainly have her hands full with the trolls...
Creepy looking is right, he reminds me of Uncle Fester
He would have made a good one.
Here are all the Florida primary results:
"Five takeaways from primary night in New York, Florida."
https:// trib.al/pHQrFXR
You may recognize the man voting above as Rep. Jerry Nadler, the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, the man who thinks antifa is a fallacy and not long ago shit himself on live tv.
Jerry won last night in New York's heavily gerrymandered Manhattan-based 12th District. It effectively ends the career of Rep. Carolyn Maloney.
Poopy pants are no joke for old farts like Nadler.
As Jack famously advised in the bucket list ...... never trust a fart.
More proof that I can always count on you to post content that elevates the discussion here on NT. /s
"Crist to face off against DeSantis for Florida governor."
https:// trib.al/bf2Akzk
In other words the DNC got the former governor to run as what he always really was; a fucking democrat.
Soon to be a beaten fucking democrat.
He has been a Democrat for 10 years now Vic.
He's always been one, in reality.
Both he and Val Demings have an impossible task.
Whatever. You made it sound like it just happened.
I thought I made it clear that he once was a Republican Governor, now running for the same office as a democrat....because the DNC is desperate.
Remember how close the election that DeSantis won last time was?
It's amazing how a term in office and performance can make one almost unbeatable!
C’mon man! Crist is the “love” candidate ...... as long as you agree with him.
If not, he hate you long time ......
I think DeSantis description on Crist was spot-on. He's a Chameleon, career politician. Long before DeSantis said it, Marco Rubio kind of said the same thing.
Like Hillary, his “deplorable” moment will go down in history as one the dumbest moves ever.
The pride does tend to cometh before the fall ....
That where you can find Biden - in the dictionary under dumb tool of the left.
I have a feeling there are millions of people who regularly ate vegetables but had a stroke anyway. Oz keeps putting his foot in his mouth.
And you think people will vote on that ?
Anyone who makes a choice based on that shouldn't be voting.
I dont know what specifically people will vote on, but I do know Dr Oz makes himself look foolish on a regular basis. Why is he even running?
Can he do any worse than his opponent?
Poor trust fund Uncle Fester wannabe.
Maybe one day he will grow up to be a real adult that can contribute to society. That would mean he would have to give up being a Democrat.
Vanity?
Let me get to the question of the day:
Has the left-wing media been able to distract the voters away from what really impacts them?
