Mike Pence, Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis will headline Ricketts event in Nebraska City

Source: Omaha World Herald

By DON WALTON

Former Vice President Mike Pence, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis form an all-star lineup of guests who will join Gov. Pete Ricketts at a Nebraska Steak Fry scheduled in Nebraska City on Sept. 12.

Ricketts hosts the event annually to celebrate Nebraska agriculture.

All three speakers are viewed as potential 2024 Republican presidential candidates.

DeSantis has been engaged over the past week in a high-profile battle with President Joe Biden over the Democrat’s efforts to vaccinate more Americans and consider masking restrictions to help battle the surge of COVID-19 infections due to the delta variant.

DeSantis and Abbott show they are qualified. They have to be on track each to kill more people then trump.

The fact is that without any mitigation whatsoever, it's impossible to know how bad it's going to get nor how long it's going to last.

Protests now. DeSantis killing babies sounds about right to get under the skin of all the prolifers there.

There will be a vacuum of intellectual thought in Kansas. Maybe that vacuum will suck them in and keep them from returning to the real world. Click your heels Dorothy, please!

Democrats cannot allow these overweaned fools to grab the mantel of "freedom". Freedom is not the power of the strong over the weak, not the right to dominate all playing fields, not the victory of monopolists over free markets. Freedom is for the people to the max extent possible.

Take these charlatans to task with a good ideological flogging!!
