Ron DeSantis didn&#8217;t explicitly say he&#8217;s running for president, but his speech at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) convention on Monday night sure sounded like a man with plans beyond the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n<h2>Get Ready for DeSantis<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cGet ready. Put on the full armor of God,\u201d DeSantis said, pausing 25 times for applause during his 30-minute speech. \u201cStand firm for the truth and don\u2019t ever ever back down. We appreciate what we\u2019ve done in Florida. We\u2019re proud of what we accomplished in Florida. But I can tell you this, I have only begun to fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"video_fit_container\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"671\" height=\"377\" class=\"video_frame\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mpQu6LT9rFE?wmode=transparent&#038;wmode=opaque\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n  <\/div>\n<h3>A Dark Picture of a Troubled Nation<\/h3>\n<p>DeSantis painted a dark picture of a troubled nation in the grip of a weak administration that has been hijacked by leftist progressive ideology. \u201cIf you look around our country, it\u2019s almost like things are upside down. There is a lot of pessimism out there but I think that what we\u2019ve done in Florida should inspire people with a sense of hope,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>One asset overlooked by the current administration in righting the nation, DeSantis said, is God. \u201cThe people who are in power now do not like people of faith and so we have to get this government under control,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have to make sure that the bureaucracy is \u2018re-constitutionalized\u2019 and, ultimately, the government is returned to its rightful owners: We the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Leading the Way<\/h3>\n<p>The next election will determine the nation\u2019s course for decades, which is why people of faith must lead the way, DeSantis told the Christian audience at the convention. \u201cAmerican decline is not inexorable. It is a choice,\u201d he said. \u201cA great American comeback is attainable and freedom sure is worth fighting for. When you see the chaos and deceit in the world around us, it should prompt us to look higher.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5272636\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/05\/17\/id5272636-DeSantis-signs-bills-on-May-15-2023-copy.jpg\"><br \/>\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/05\/17\/id5272636-DeSantis-signs-bills-on-May-15-2023-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Florida Gov.
