Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) touted his state’s success in managing the coronavirus pandemic, keeping schools open, and protecting businesses from closing in his annual state of the state address Tuesday.
Speaking ahead of the start of the next Florida legislative session, DeSantis thanked COVID-19 first responders and legislators for their handling of the pandemic and drew a contrast between Florida and other states that imposed strict lockdowns to stop the spread of the virus.
"I see, in many parts of our country, a sad state of affairs: Schools closed, businesses shuttered, and millions of lives destroyed. This calamitous reality is just the beginning of what will likely be long-term damage to children, their families, and this society. Sow the wind, and you reap the whirlwind," DeSantis said.
"While so many other states kept locking people down, Florida lifted people up," he continued.
DeSantis highlighted that every parent in Florida currently has the right to send their children to school for in-person instruction and that businesses were permitted to remain open as well, resulting in an unemployment rate of 6.1% for last December, below the national rate of 6.7%.
"Friends, legislators, and Floridians, lend me your ears: We will not let anybody close your schools, we will not let anybody close your businesses, and we will not let anybody take your jobs!" he declared.
Turning to the state’s handling of the pandemic, DeSantis emphasized Florida’s efforts to protect senior citizens, who are the most vulnerable to health complications from the coronavirus. He noted that Florida’s per capita COVID mortality rate is below the national average.
"From the outset, Florida has been steadfast in focusing efforts on the protection of our elderly population," DeSantis said, taking a veiled shot at New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s nursing home scandal. "We rejected the policy of sending contagious COVID patients back into nursing homes; indeed, we prohibited the practice. Florida also established COVID-only nursing facilities so that infections in long-term care facilities could be more effectively contained."
Florida adopted a "Seniors First" strategy of prioritizing the elderly to receive coronavirus vaccines, for which DeSantis was accused by NBC News of "playing politics with COVID vaccine" by making the vaccine available to groups more likely to be Republican voters. DeSantis did not address the NBC News narrative, instead remarking that "40 states have suffered higher COVID mortality for seniors aged 65+ on a per capita basis than Florida" and noting "hospitalizations for seniors in Florida have plummeted as vaccinations have increased."
"Florida was right to prioritize the elderly. Seniors First works," he said.
After discussing the old, DeSantis shifted to the young, praising Florida for being one of only four states to offer in-person instruction to 100% of its schoolchildren. He blasted other states for keeping schools closed despite evidence that suggests it is safe to reopen.
"Across the nation, millions of students have been locked out of the classroom for nearly a year – and for many there is no end in sight," DeSantis lamented. "These students have fallen behind on academics, have been denied the opportunity to participate in activities such as athletics, and have seen their social development stunted."
"The consequences of shutting kids out of school for a year, a year and a half, and heck, in some places, it will likely be two years, those consequences will be catastrophic and long-lasting," he warned. "The failure of so many places outside of Florida to open schools at the beginning of the school year will go down as one of the biggest policy blunders of our time."
DeSantis also slammed "economic lockdowns" as "a luxury of the largely affluent Zoom class," praising state lawmakers for allowing businesses to remain open. The governor shared a video of Florida residents sharing their stories of how Florida’s policies throughout the pandemic have impacted their lives.

The evidence for Florida’s success, DeSantis said, is in how people are voting with their feet.
"There are not a whole lot of Floridians who are itching to move from Florida to lockdown states, but there are thousands and thousands of people who are seeking to leave the lockdowns behind for the greener pastures here in the state of Florida," he said.
"We have long been known as the Sunshine State – but, given the unprecedented lockdowns we have witnessed in other states, I think the Florida sun now serves as a beacon of light to those who yearn to live in freedom."
The governor also reiterated his support for legislative proposals to enact anti-rioting legislation, crack down on Big Tech censorship, and strengthen the integrity of Florida elections.

The U.S. Navy released new mandated training on “eradicating extremism,” which claims that Black Lives Matter is not a political or extremist organization.
According to a slew of declassified memos, the Department of Defense is requiring the Navy to host anti-extremist training following the Capitol riots and two incidents of internal problematic behavior. The training clarifies that the Navy “prohibits any member of the naval services from participating in any organization advocating supremacist causes, advocating illegal discrimination, or advocating the use of force or violence against the U.S. government or a state government.”
The training is called a “stand-down” in internal memos and is required to be completed by April 6.
The seminar tells naval officers that “offensive jokes” are considered “prohibited conduct” as well as “offensive objects or pictures.” Other obscene behaviors includes “insults or putdowns” and “name-calling.”
In the social media portion of the training, naval officers were told they could not “retweet or like” any material that promotes discrimination based on race, color, religion sex (including gender identity), creed ethnicity, national origin, or sexual orientation.
In the Q&A portion of the training manual, commanding officers are given a list of possible questions that may arise. One question asked whether it was appropriate to discuss Black Lives Matter in the workplace. The training manual said it is appropriate because Black Lives Matter “is not politically partisan in nature.”
Q: My boss is always talking about Black Lives Matter in the workspace. Isn’t that political stuff that they’re not supposed to be talking about at work?
A: Advocating for or against a public policy issue (as here) is authorized as long as the behavior is otherwise lawful and the advocacy is not politically partisan in nature.
A separate Q&A prompt asked whether it was okay to discuss conservative religious views on forums maintained by a church. The answer said “expressing religious views” is okay, though actively preventing “others from exercising their legal rights is not permissible.”
The training takes approximately 90 minutes and is broken down into two increments. The first increment is 30 minutes led by a commanding officer and the second increment is a 60 minute “small group” breakout session.
Newly appointed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin penned a memo claiming that this training is the first of many trainings aimed at eliminating “extremist ideology” from the Navy.
“This stand-down is just the first initiative of what I believe must be a concerted effort to better educate ourselves and our people about the scope of this problem and to develop sustainable ways to eliminate the corrosive effects that extremist ideology and conduct have on the workforce,” Austin wrote.
In a separate memo, the Defense Department re-instituted Inclusion and Diversity training. The newfound training includes a pledge for members of a new task force to “advocate for and acknowledge all lived experiences and intersectional identities of every Sailor in the Navy.”
The Daily Wire reported:
The task force, dubbed Task Force One Navy (TF1N) was announced in June 2020, to “analyze and evaluate issues in our society and military that detract from Navy readiness, such as racism, sexism, and other structural and interpersonal biases to attain significant, sustainable [inclusion and diversity]-related reform.”
The timing of the creation of the task force coincides with the protests and riots that broke out following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
The Navy is also encouraging officers to read books such as Ibram X. Kendi’s “How to Be An Anti-Racist, Michelle Alexander’s “The New Jim Crow,” and “We Can’t Talk About That At Work!: How to talk about race, religion, politics, and other polarizing topics.”

How far do you think a 90s-era Mac can go? Actually, it can go to Mars. NASA’s rover Perseverance, which reached the Red Planet on February 18, is powered by the PowerPC 750 processor, the same chip that is inside the iconic 1998 iMac G3.
According to New Scientist (via Gizmodo), the Mars Perseverance rover uses the RISC CPUs that Apple went all in on before switching to Intel. The iMac G3 was colorful (you could see through it), and it ultimately saved Apple from bankruptcy.
