Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced bold legislation Tuesday to target people participating in violent and disorderly riots that endanger human lives and businesses.

“We will always stand with our men and women in uniform who keep our communities safe,” Gov. Ron DeSantis

The legislation comes after people have been killed and billions of dollars have been lost in cities across the country overrun by rioting and looting since the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer in XXXX.

“Today I announced bold legislation that creates new criminal offenses and increases penalties for those who target law enforcement and participate in violent or disorderly assemblies,” stated DeSantis on Twitter.

“We will always stand with our men and women in uniform who keep our communities safe,” he added.

The new criminal offenses to ‘combat rioting, looting and violence’ were listed in a post on the governor’s Twitter.

In my opinion, it’s a much needed law that should be adopted across the nation to combat the growing violence.

According to reports the legislation will be filed for the March 2021 session. It couldn’t come soon enough. The new DeSantis’ law will also criminalize any threats by rioters to drivers by giving drivers new liability protection if they kill or injure anyone while “fleeing for safety.”

Think about it. This is more than likely going to get rioters to think twice before jumping on moving vehicles or targeting persons driving vehicles in crowed places with weapons as we’ve seen happen over the past several months.

Chinese Spy Balloon: Tensions rise between the U.S. and China

A strange object was spotted Wednesday over Billings Montana. The Pentagon confirmed Thursday that the strange object was, in fact, a Chinese spy balloon. According to a report from KPAX, a western Montana news outlet, the balloon had been on the governments radar for days.

On Friday, the Chinese government released a statement saying that the balloon spotted in Billings is a “civilian airship” that’s sole purpose is used to collect research on weather and that it had just blown off course. The balloon was not shot down by orders of the Pentagon due to the risk of falling debris injuring people on the ground.

Sara Carter, who has spoken frequently on the Chinese government’s threat and expansion to the West, stated on Twitter that the United States has failed to stop China from purchasing land near military installations, vital agricultural land, as well as, allowing Chinese linked companies, such as Huawei, to install technology in cellular towers. Those cellular towers are located in Montana, along side more than 150 ICBM nuclear silos.

👇U.S. didn’t stop the CCP from purchasing land near US military installations or stop Huawei from putting its technology in cellular towers near our ICBM nukes in Montana #Obama – the Chinese spy balloon on top of everything else is just another sign of what #China is planning.. https://t.co/CNuBYP29kC

China said, “The Chinese side regrets the unintended entry of the airship into U.S. airspace due to force majeure.” Majeure meaning that it was out of there control. It blew off course due to limited “self-steering” capabilities according the Ministry. The ministry also stated that the balloon, “deviated far from its planned course.”

This incident is adding fuel to the fire of what is already a tense relationship between the worlds two largest economies. China already lays claim to approximately 80% of the South China Sea, and is seeking full control over Taiwan after assuming full control of Hong Kong. China’s belt and road initiative has invested copious amounts of money into building infrastructure in other countries and uses it as economic blackmail. China’s transportation of fentanyl into Mexico is yet again another example of how they are seeking to damage the US.

Is this just a weather ballon that blew off course? US officials at the White House seem to be unconvinced and will continue to monitor the balloon, as reported.

UPDATED: Statement from the Pentagon was jaw dropping when a reporter asked if the public has a right to know about Beijing’s balloon.

“The public certainly has the ability to look up in the sky and see where the balloon is,” a DOD official responded.

Wow, what a joke… I'm sure #China is shaking in their communist boots at this Pentagon reaction https://t.co/m9URCUkHr1
