Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) touts Florida's gas tax holiday and mocks President Biden's fuel price record since taking office.



At a press briefing on hurricane and recovery efforts, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took a moment to celebrate his gas tax holiday going into effect.

The Sunshine State is ranked fifth lowest in the country for filling up a tank to stand to study, with a teen station selling products at $299 per gallon. He also took the opportunity to dine with President Biden on the issue of high fuel costs since the 46th president took office.

DeSantis has been touring his state in recent days, assessing and directing cleanup and infrastructure restoration following the deadly storm. The Republican Governor is also set to face Charlie Chris at the polls, with recent polls showing DeSantis with a consistent lead.

DeSantis said:

I'm also glad that effective Saturday we instituted our gas tax holiday in the State of Florida, and so we now basically don't pay the state portion, so 25 cents off every gallon. And if you look at the prices in Florida since that's gone into effect and been internalized in the market, we all have the fifth lowest gas prices in the country right now.

So and I actually saw it in different places. I was driving. I have not seen gas under three dollars in a long time, certainly not since January 20th of a year and a half ago. So that's just the nature of it, so we're glad that was in effect.

We think that it will help people save money over the course of this holiday and, of course, we're going to do a lot more. We have a lot of other tax relief that's been in effect, as well. We have no tax on diapers and baby items for the new family, which is really really good.

I've also had a proposal for next year. We want to make all of the baby items, including cribs and strollers, have no sales tax permanently. That's what we're looking to do.

We're also going to have, we think for a year, no sales tax on any household item under 25, so you think about the things you buy that'll really add up over the course of a year. We're also doing and not every place has the same number of toll roads throughout the state, but for commuters, it can hit them, so we're going to slash the tolls by 50 and that'll save people potentially hundreds of dollars in places like South Florida, probably a thousand dollars to fifteen hundred a year.

I think the gas tax is a good thing and you know what OPEC is doing. Unfortunately, I think that this is likely to go up between now and the end of the year and into next year. I mean, that's just what I would bet. I hope that's not the case, but I think that there are a lot of ominous signs on the horizon with that.

President Trump explains more about his new social media site "Truth Social" | Latest Statement on TMTG

  Photo "Donald Trump" by  Dan Scavino Latest Statement on TMTG by the 45th President Donald J. Trump Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country. America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, or go against the tide. Yet suddenly, we find ourselves being censored and dictated to by a small group of self-righteous scolds and self-appointed arbiters of what everyone else is allowed to think, say, share, and do. Nowhere is this censorship more dangerous and brazen than on social media, the public square of our times. We have seen renowned medical doctors being banned from platforms for contradicting “health author

Trump while addressing the massive crowd said: We have the best oil in the world. I call it liquid gold and we don't want to take it from us you know it's a big advantage we have over china. We have oil they don't, we have natural gas they don't, we have coal they don't.  The entire world is laughing at the United States this is to be the most pathetic spectacle that anyone's seen nobody's ever seen anything like that.  And Elon Musk (founder of Tesla) is a guy that I like and respect a friend of mine. He runs an electric car company is calling for Biden to increase oil and gas production. But Biden won't do it because he does not have the will to stand up.  To AOC you know, I don't think she ever took a course in the environment and now she'

John Fetterman Advocates for Action: A Blunt Message on Gaza Ceasefire Protesters In a press briefing alongside the families of Israeli citizens held hostage by Hamas, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) delivered a direct and uncompromising message to pro-ceasefire protesters. Fetterman expressed his frustration at the prolonged conflict and questioned the motivations behind demands for a ceasefire without addressing the root causes of the conflict. Opening with his interactions with victim groups, Fetterman highlighted meeting with six families affected by the ongoing crisis. He emphasized that the suffering should have ended long ago, raising a fundamental question for those advocating a ceasefire: why aren't they demanding the immediate return of all hostages and insisting on Hamas's surrender? Fetterman challenged protesters to consider the consequences of not addressing both aspects of the conflict simultaneously.
