DeSantis is the governor Florida needs and other commentary Conservative: DeSantis Is the Gov Florida Needs “For nearly two years, since the moment Gov. Ron DeSantis reopened beaches, schools, and businesses, all eyes have been on the Sunshine State. No other state has faced similar scrutiny. No other politician has been similarly dissected,” Karol Markowicz observes for RealClearPolitics. And the results prove “DeSantis was right and other governors were wrong.” DeSantis made “tough decisions in opposition to common thinking”; his policies “exposed how other states deeply hurt themselves and damaged their residents.” It goes on: The gov just signed the “Parental Rights in Education bill into law,” preventing kids from being indoctrinated by leftist sexual mores, and simply “brushes off” the media outrage. “They can talk all they like, he’ll do what he wants.” Gaffe watch: Joe’s ‘Improv’ Endangers the World “At what point,” wonders The Wall Street Journal’s Gerard Baker, “does Joe Biden’s verbal incontinence start to become a mortal threat to Americans?” His missteps are so frequent the White House has “stopped attempting to correct” his words on chemical weapons, troop movements and now regime change in Russia — claiming instead that any word means “just what [they] choose it to mean.” This “reckless language . . . compromises the ability of the U.S. and its allies to achieve our objectives” and ups “the risk of a miscalculation.” Churchill in WWII “mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.” “Biden seems intent on doing the same — only he may be sending it into battle on the wrong side.” Pandemic journal: Lockdowns a Tragic Mistake Worldwide data on excess deaths (all deaths during the pandemic minus the average number of deaths in pre-pandemic years) prove “the few places that rejected draconian Covid restrictions did not see the catastrophic death counts” that some predicted, report Martin Kulldorff & Jay Bhattacharya at Spiked. So politicians were wrong to claim “draconian lockdowns” would save lives. Rather, “by ignoring basic, long-standing principles of public health during the pandemic, most nations marched down the path of folly together.” The politicians “will be fine,” but the “devastation on children, the poor, the working class and the middle class” that was caused by the lockdowns “will take decades to repair.” Libertarian: Joe’s Desperate Tax Flip-Flop “On the campaign trail,” Joe Biden “rejected wealth taxes as punitive, divisive, and unworkable. Now, as president, he’s embraced the idea,” marvels Reason’s Peter Suderman. Biden slammed the Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren tax plans “because they taxed wealth of a small, specific group of individuals.” He even “went out of his way to insist that ‘tax policy is not about punishment.’ ” Now he offers a “Billionaire Minimum Income Tax,” which “applies to all income, realized and unrealized, for households worth more than $100 million” — that is, it taxes “money that someone has not actually seen, based on the value of their holdings.” It’s a “desperate policy gimmick by a White House struggling with low approval numbers on the economy.” Liberal: GOP’s Supreme Court Clown Show “Americans were awakened from the heroic struggle in Ukraine and again confronted with the moronic culture war that commands attention in Washington” when “Republican senators attacked Ketanji Brown Jackson, making up positions she never had,” fumes Creators columnist Froma Harrop. GOP senators “hit a new bottom” with “exhibitionist performances,” accusing Jackson of being soft on child-porn offenders when her sentencing is clearly in the mainstream in such cases. Republicans keep crying foul, but in 2016 “then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to even give [Merrick] Garland a hearing with the phony excuse that the winner of an upcoming presidential election should get to pick. That election was seven months away. Four years later, less than a month before the 2020 election, McConnell scheduled a hearing for Trump’s nominee, Amy Coney Barrett. She was confirmed one week before Americans got to vote.” — Compiled by The Post Editorial Board
Speak, NPC. Use your big boy words. Tell me specifically what part. You can't because all you read are articles, and you have no idea what is actually in the bill.
‘Gird Your Loins for Battle–Put on the Full Armor of God’: DeSantis Running as a Biblical Anti-LGBTQ Warrior https://www.thenewcivilrightsmoveme...tis-running-as-a-biblical-anti-lgbtq-warrior/ Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis appears to be using the “Don’t Say Gay“ legislation he signed into law with barely any notice Monday as the new flag of his bible-based anti-LGBTQ re-election campaign. “Gird your loins for battle. We are going to fight. You put on the full armor of God,” the Florida Republican running for re-election says in a video posted to social media this week, with the state flag behind him and a poster reading, “Keep Florida Free.” (More at above url)
So as expected... Florida uses the same incorrect, false non-peer reviewed paper to recommend against vaccines for children that is used by anti-vax Covid-deniers on social media pushing fabricated claims. Hardly surprising. Florida’s Recommendation Against the COVID-19 Vaccine for Kids Was Based on Data. But That Data Was Flawed. The state’s surgeon general cited a paper that raised red flags for epidemiologists. https://slate.com/technology/2022/04/vaccine-kids-florida-preprint-policy.html
Let's see what the federal judge said... Federal judge strikes down several provisions of the Florida election rules overhaul passed by Republicans last year https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/31/politics/florida-voting-overhaul-judge-strikes-down/index.html A federal judge in Florida on Thursday struck down several aspects of the election rules overhaul passed by Republicans in the state last year. US District Judge Mark Walker's scathing, 288-page opinion said some of the provisions in question were passed with the intent of targeting "Black voters because of their propensity to favor Democratic candidates." If appealed, the sweeping ruling will go to an appellate court with a conservative lean. Walker's ruling also put Florida under a Voting Rights Act requirement that the state must seek federal approval for any future election rule changes that are similar to the provisions the judge blocked on Thursday. "This is the judicial equivalent of pounding the table," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, said Thursday at a news conference. "And I think it was performative partisanship." "I think that's going to be reversed on appeal," he added, "the only question is how quickly." Officials in the offices of the secretary state and attorney general did not have immediate comment on the ruling. The measures that were struck down were part of a law known as SB 90, which was passed last year amid a slew of restrictive voting laws across the country that were inspired, in part, by former President Donald Trump's lies about mass election fraud in 2020. Walker's ruling, however, tied the new restrictions to Florida's history of discriminating against voters of color, as well as contemporary evidence that the 2021 measure's supporters knew that it would disproportionately burden Black voters. "In sum, this Court concludes that to the extent promoting voter confidence or preventing voter fraud may have motivated the Legislature in part, this Court finds that the Legislature passed SB 90 with the intent to restructure Florida's election system in ways that favor the Republican Party over the Democratic Party," the judge said. "This Court further finds that, to advance the Legislature's main goal of favoring Republicans over Democrats, the Legislature enacted some of SB 90's provisions with the intent to target Black voters because of their propensity to favor Democratic candidates." Specifically, the judge blocked the law's provisions scaling back the availability of mail ballot drop boxes; its restrictions on providing aid like water, fans and snacks to those waiting in line to vote; and its more stringent rules for voter registration drives. Walker said the provisions violated the Voting Rights Act, as well as the Constitution's 14th and 15th Amendments. Walker went a step further in putting Florida under the Voting Rights Act provision known as preclearance, which requires certain states to seek the okay of a federal judge or the Justice Department when making changes to its election rules. For the next 10 years, under his ruling, the state will need to seek preclearance for laws and regulations concerning voter registration drives, drop boxes or so-called line warming activities. "Without preclearance, Florida could continue to enact such laws, replacing them every legislative session if courts view them with skepticism. Such a scheme makes a mockery of the rule of law," Walker wrote. Walker also tied the fight for voting rights to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "The current war in Ukraine, in which the Ukrainian people are fighting and dying to maintain the freedoms we take for granted -- namely, the right to have a voice and not to be ruled by a despot -- provides a poignant reminder of both the value and fragility of democracy," the judge wrote. Amia Trigg, senior counsel with the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund -- one of the groups that challenged the Florida law -- said Walker's decision "recognized that SB 90 is the latest stain in a long history of voting laws which restrict Black political participation."
And spammed another article, but again can't provide any coherent argument on the bill. Just posts someone else's thoughts.
This is a great opportunity for you to read the judge’s decision which clearly outlines why the bill is discriminatory. Sometimes it’s best for you to understand the information provided by an expert rather than the typical crap you re-post from social media.
