Ron DeSantis on what being conservative means: ‘Our rights come from God, not government’© Provided by Washington Examine

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he believes the essence of being a conservative today means recognizing that people’s “God-given rights” are on “loan” to the government.

“The foundation of it is understanding the American project,” DeSantis told Fox News host Mark Levin on Sunday. “Our rights come from God, not the government. The founders rejected the divine right of kings.”

“We have these God-given rights,” he continued. “We loan power to the government under a Constitution to protect those rights.”

While discussing his new book The Courage to be Free, DeSantis explained that his roots of growing up in “eclectic” Florida with a blue-collar family that held Rust Belt values kept him grounded while attending the liberal classrooms of Yale and Harvard.

“It was so different from what I thought was appropriate that I wasn’t influenced by it in terms of it pulling that direction. I rebelled in the other way,” the Republican governor said. “I got through Yale and Harvard and came out more conservative than when I went in.”

DeSantis touted how those days have emboldened him to resist the influence of the political “swamp” and stand up against attacks from the liberal media.

“They’ve detached from facts entirely, and it’s all about the narrative — whatever narrative they can spin. And they know a lot of these narratives are bogus,” DeSantis said. “Here’s the flip side of that: When they attack me, our voters, they view that as confirmation that I’m doing a good job.”

The Republican governor also offered a point of advice for upcoming conservative political leaders: “Don’t be captive to public opinion; shape public opinion.”

He noted that producing favorable results is more important than analyzing poll results, which he described as misleading and “static.”

DeSantis added that serving the people must be the priority, saying his approach to governing during the COVID-19 pandemic and upholding traditional values has proven “there is a lot of frustration within the country.”

“I think what Florida shows is you can stand for the right things, you can take on a a lot of the elites that are really doing damage to our society, and you can win,” he said. “There is a better way. There is a better way that people in states can be successful, and I do believe there is a way that United States can be successful once again.”

Although the Florida governor has not said he will enter the 2024 presidential race, many GOP voters have indicated they highly favor his candidacy.

Many years ago, due to a serious accident, a lawsuit was filed against a major city in California. As always the devil was in the mix waging war, and the result was failure. Being at this point in my life is only by the Grace of GOD, and now the victory is in JESUS!

NEW YORK, Feb 24 (Reuters) – The Federal Reserve will be hard-pressed to lower inflation without a significant blow to U.S. economic activity and a sharp rise in unemployment, and even then may miss its 2% inflation target for years to come, a group of top economists concluded after a review of central banks’ past inflation battles.

In research released on a day when inflation data showed an unexpected spike, the authors found that over 16 episodes of “disinflation” engineered by central banks in the United States, Germany, Canada and the United Kingdom, “we find no instance in which a significant central bank-induced disinflation occurred without a recession.”

The researchers included Brandeis International Business School professor Stephen Cecchetti, who is a former top economist at the Bank for International Settlements; Michael Feroli, chief economist at J.P. Morgan; and Columbia Business School professor Frederic Mishkin, who is a former Fed governor and longtime research collaborator with former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke.

The findings were presented on Friday at a conference organized by the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and drew pushback from Fed officials who reviewed and commented on it.

 DETERRENCE OR PROTECTION

By Bishop Cornelius Duncan

President Trump had all the right answers to policies of illegal immigration at the very beginning. Construction on the border wall between the U.S. and Mexico has recently started again. As we have already noticed, total elimination to access across US borders with barriers is the only proven effective means that stops the flow of illegal immigration and fentanyl. As the result of fentanyl deaths in the US, elimination has become mandatory. The Drug Enforcement Administration reveals that it seized more than 379 million deadly doses of fentanyl in 2022, more than enough to kill every single American.  

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fentanyl is now the top cause of death among US adults (ages 18-45), more than COVID-19, suicide, and car accidents. The CDC reports that of 100,000 adults who died of drug overdoses from 2018 to 2020, a staggering 19,400, or 19 percent, had died after overdosing on fentanyl. The House Judiciary Committee will continue to put pressure on the Biden administration for the ongoing border crisis, tackling the matter in its first hearing of the 118th Congress.

There were also 251,487 illegal alien encounters at the southern border in the month of December, House Judiciary Republicans tweeted earlier this week. That’s over 8,000 per day. Over 300 per hour. Nearly 5 per minute. That number was up from the previous month’s 233,740 total encounters (204,155 unique individuals), a 1% increase from the month before, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection statistics. The Biden Administration immigration policies, and these tragic statistics cannot be continued. Every inch of the border wall must be completed without further delay.

• Trump recently said the US should build a nationwide missile defense shield like Israel’s Iron Dome. 
• He said the US must be able to defend itself from the potential threat of hypersonic missiles.
• A missile defense expert said the plan is a long shot.

Former President Donald Trump said in a recent video message that he would build an “impenetrable” missile defense shield like Israel’s famed Iron Dome to protect the entire US from nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles should he win the 2024 presidential election.
