BUD'S BLOG, MONDAY, JULY 24th, 2023
As clear evidence that the left still considers Governor Ron DeSantis a threat to win the Republican nomination and ultimate the presidency, I submit their latest attempt to destroy his candidacy by falsely painting him as a racist! In this case, they've cherry picked one line from the new 216 page long black studies cirriculum approved for Florida public schools. It reads, middle school students will be taught "how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit".
Suddenly, Vice President Kamala Harris shows up in Jacksonville and gives a fiery speech denouncing the Governor and Republican lawmakers as extremists, and the liberal media is off and running, once again playing the race card against DeSantis for all it's worth!
Personally, I'm not a fan of teaching kids that anything good came from slavery, so I'd rather see this stricken from the newly approved black studies cirriculum. That said, I think it's outrageous how the race card is being played, yet again, in a bid to destroy DeSantis politically.
What do you think? Let's talk about this!

From our Trump File comes news that a May 20th 2024 date has been set for the former President's federal trial on his alleged criminal mishandling of classified documents found at Mar-A-Lago. We'll talk about that, and the looming indictment over Trump's behavior before and during the January 6th, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol. In addition, I have new poll numbers that show Trump is still the runaway favorite among Republican primary voters in the first caucus state of Iowa, and the first southern primary state of South Carolina!
Oh, one more thing we will talk about. Trump just qualified for the first Republican primary debate, but will he show up? I think he should, but he keeps saying he'll probably skip it because his lead in the polls is so large. What do you think he should do?

Country music superstar Jason Aldean is still under fire from those who say his hit song "Try That In A Small Town" is racist. I don't think the song is racist at all, and, as you'll hear, Aldean responded to his critics at a concert over the weekend. We'll follow up on our Friday morning coverage of this controversy and, as always, we invite you to let us know what you think, by calling into 407 916 5400, texting us to 23680 or making a Talkback recording on the iHeart Radio app !
