More than 300 Americans are back in the US from Israel thanks to a series of evacuation missions funded by the State of Florida and coordinated by the nonprofit Project Dynamo.
After finding no held with the government, the Neumanns contacted the nonprofit organization Project Dynamo,
As they landed in Tampa, they were greeted with a warm welcome from Florida state agencies and Governor Ron DeSantis, who secured funding for the flight through an executive order signed last week.
Five flights funded by the state to the tune of roughly $4 million have brought more than 300 American citizens back home and out of harm’s way since Friday.
Project Dynamo CEO Bryan Stern noted the collaboration with the State of Florida is the first time the nonprofit has ever gotten any government support.

You can make almost anything happen with money...
Wow. Our governor was actually in the state!
Well, of course he had to be back for the p.r. photo op...
I’ll give ole Ron some brownie points for this one. It was a good thing and he gets to rub the turnips nose in it.
$130,000 per person brought home? How could it cost that much?
One of the best Governors in the country!
I hope he continues to be one for many years!
Lol. Yes. Attack DeSantis for doing something decent. Sick f**ks.
$13K apiece seems about right. Private jets aren’t configured to squeeze in as many passengers as possible because Warren Buffet types tend to be the typical customer. Get to the destination quickly and on their own schedule without the hassle of airport security, cattle car check-ins and baggage carousels. Probably has a fraction of the seats it could have, because the additional seats don’t add value for the typical clientele.

God speed!

Israel war: GOP congressman rescues 96 stranded Americans
Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) accomplished another rescue mission in Israel that has returned 96 Americans home.
Mills announced his first trip earlier this week. Late Saturday, he issued an update to say he has since retrieved 77 American citizens himself, among them Rep. Bill Huizenga’s (R-MI) son. There are plans to rescue more.

Yes but more than any other Governor has done. Or Biden. Or Trump.

He took advantage of an event, used the state of Florida’s money, and created a p.r. opportunity, in hopes that it would help his campaign.
