Someone asked me about Governor Andrew Cuomo’s sexual harassment imbroglio. Should he resign or be impeached? I responded that I did not care. Cuomo is the governor of New York. I live in Chicago. I do not care about New York. I only care about my state and city.
The better question is what to do about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis? He poses a direct threat to Chicago. Chicagoans travel to Florida, and Floridians travel to Chicago, endangering us with their ignorant refusal to get the COVID vaccines.
The bubble-brained DeSantis is a national menace. His statements on the pandemic are proof of his lack of intelligence or education. There must be a government program for intellectually disadvantaged people to attend Ivy League universities, Title VI VI VI, maybe?
DeSantis is blaming the border with Mexico for the rapid rise of COVID cases. The last time I looked, Mexico did not share a border with Florida. During geography class, DeSantis pulled out his box of Crayola crayons, sniffed them, and colored the maps instead of looking at them.
Cuomo may be a menace to younger women in New York. He is not a menace to the people of Chicago. DeSantis is.
Chicago should immediately institute a travel ban on all unvaccinated people traveling to and from Florida. We cannot have undocumented Floridians entering our city or allow Chicagoans to go to Florida.
President Joe Biden could and should help. He could close the Florida border. Shut it down, lock it down. Shut down the airports and train stations. Block all the federal highways leading out of the state. He can use federal troops to block Floridians from leaving, if necessary. The president should mandate that cruise ships demand vaccination documents and refuse boarding to undocumented Floridians and others who refuse to get the vaccine.
Better yet, build a great big, beautiful wall around Florida with access points to show vaccine documentation. We could use technology from Asia to erect a wall in weeks instead of months or years.
If DeSantis will not protect his people, the federal government has a duty and obligation to protect us from this madman and his dull-witted population.
While this babbling baboon is defying common sense, Florida hospitals are overflowing with COVID patients again. Many Floridians travel north to escape the summer heat and humidity. We do not want them in Chicago. No one wants these spreaders of disease.
The Department of Justice should launch an investigation to determine if DeSantis is committing crimes against humanity and genocide, abusing his power as governor.
Chicago suffered its share of epidemics and pandemics, including cholera, typhoid, tuberculosis, and the Spanish flu. Each time we took precautions and made improvements. Now is not the time to go backward because of the backward people of Florida and their spawn of the devil governor.
