DeSantis Reactivates the Florida State Guard

Al Ritter

Gov. Ron DeSantis has decided along with the State Legislature to reactivate the Florida State Guard that has been dormant since the 1940’s. The legislature has authorized $3 million so far to reactive them.

The Governor’s concern has been triggered by the Biden vaccine mandate that requires all National Guard members to be vaccinated. Now Oklahoma is battling the same issue but in a different way. When the National Guard stays in their home state they are paid by that respective state. It’s only when the National Guard is deployed by the Federal Government outside their home state, they are paid by the feds.

This is where the legal matter lies, when funded by the state they go by state rules, when funded by the feds they go by federal rules. So jurisdiction plays a large part in this action.

In my opinion Oklahoma is fighting a losing battle on their front because they only have a legal standing until the Feds activate the Oklahoma National Guard outside their home state, then the vaccine mandate from the Biden Administration can be enforced.

DeSantis however is working a little differently. By reactivating a Florida State Guard, the feds have no legal standing to force any vaccine mandates on that guard. They also won’t have any legal jurisdiction on that group, only the Governor will. What is not clear however is how will this guard receive training? Will they be trained as a military outfit or as private police force?

The liberal media is having a field day with this news, they fail to report that 23 other states also have state guards including ultra-liberal California. They also aren’t reporting that it will be called the Florida State Guard but rather the “Florida Militia.”

Nothing like fueling the divisive fires of descent.
