Ron DeSantis could block the extradition of Trump if he is indicted in New York probe of his finances and law enforcement officials in Palm Beach have been preparing for the scenario

Florida officials are preparing options for what to do about Donald Trump should he be charged by New York prosecutors while he is in the Sunshine state.

The Manhattan district attorney’s criminal investigation into the former president is reaching its final stages and an obscure extradition clause in Florida law could benefit Trump if he’s indicted.

In Florida’s statute on interstate extradition, the state’s governor has the power to intervene over whether an indicted ‘person ought to be surrendered’ to law enforcement officials from another state, Politico revealed.

That means if Trump gets charged by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance – who is probing the former president’s business practices – it would be in the hands of Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, a close Trump friend and ally, to decide if Trump should be handed over to New York authorities. 

Law enforcement officials in Palm Beach County, Fla., where Trump lives in his Mar-a-Lago club, are preparing for a possible indictment coming down from New York. 

And they’re discussing how to how to handle the thorny extradition issue that could come from it, two sources close to the matter told the news outlet.

Biden: ‘Get Vaccinated or Wear a Mask Until You Do’

  • Vaccine refusniks could be forced to cover up indefinitely.

Joe Biden has suggested that Americans who don’t take the COVID-19 could be forced to wear masks indefinitely.

“The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do,” tweeted Biden. “The choice is yours.”

The direct missive followed an announcement by the CDC that Americans who had taken the vaccine could remove their masks indoors.

However, the updated advisory came with a laundry list of exemptions. Masks will still be mandatory on all forms of public transport, in airports as well as for doctor and hospital visits, nursing homes, jails and homeless shelters.

It is not known how those who have been vaccinated will prove they’ve taken the shot, nor how enforcement of mask wearing for those who haven’t will be conducted.

In lecturing Americans who don’t take the jab that they’ll be forced to mask up for potentially months or even years longer, the Biden administration is creating a second class of citizens, presumably as a punishment for “anti-vaxxers.”

Earlier today, he called on Americans to treat those who choose to wear masks “with kindness and respect,” despite there being significantly more incidents of ‘Karens’ screaming at and harassing people for not wearing a mask.

The lifting of mask mandates for those who’ve taken the shot comes after weeks of complaints that there was no incentive for taking the vaccine given that it didn’t change anything for those who had it.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis: ‘Leadership Is About Making Tough Decisions’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis found himself listening to President Dwight Eisenhower’s farewell speech when grappling with how the state should respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

During an exclusive town hall with Newsmax and the hosts of Newsmax TV’s “Spicer & Co.” Sean Spicer and Lyndsay Keith, DeSantis told residents of The Villages, a large retirement community, that Eisenhower’s warning of science and government becoming more intertwined made him quickly realize that leaders “can’t just simply let policy be captive to whatever some credentialed expert says.”

Audience members praised DeSantis for the way he navigated the state through the pandemic by protecting seniors, children in schools, religious liberties, and the economy.

Black mother compares critical race theory in schools to KKK tactics

A Black mother took aim at critical race theory during a local school board meeting, comparing the education to tactics used by Nazi Germany and the Ku Klux Klan.

“Critical race theory is not an honest dialogue, it is a tactic that was used by Hitler and the Ku Klux Klan on slavery very many years ago to dumb down my ancestors so we could not think for ourselves,” Shawntel Cooper said at the Loudoun County School Board meeting Tuesday. “Critical race theory is racist, it is abusive, it discriminates against one’s color. … You can not tell me what is or is not racist.”

The fiery rebuke came as parents at the district, one of the richest in the nation, have recently begun fighting back against plans to adopt a “culturally responsive” curriculum framework that called on the district to dismantle “white supremacy.”

More than a quarter of EU adults reluctant to get Covid vaccine, survey finds

Vaccine hesitancy rates in the EU are raising alarms, after a survey found that 27% of adults across the bloc said they’d be unlikely to accept a Covid-19 jab, amid a “failure” to persuade people of its efficacy and safety.

A Eurofound survey investigating vaccine take-up across EU member states flagged concerns about the success of messaging from health officials on Covid jabs, warning that the failure to fully convince the adult population to be inoculated could put the fight against the pandemic at risk.
