Headline: "DeSantis signs controversial bill restricting certain LGBTQ topics in Classroom." (CNN)Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed legislation banning certain instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom, approving the controversial measure that opponents have dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" law. HB 1557, titled the "Parental Rights in Education" bill, was given final passage by Florida's GOP-controlled legislature earlier this month. The law is set to take effect in July. The legislation set off a social and political firestorm in Florida when it was introduced by Republican lawmakers in January. Its passage comes as conservatives around the...

Landis gets $2.75 million in settlement with Lance, but how much will he keep?

In a film shown tonight on the National Geographic Channel, it was shown that Jackie O. Kennedy wore high heels, possibly stiletto heels, when she visited the casket holding President John F Kennedy when viewed in the rotunda of the Capitol. Editors of Vogue Magazine were shocked at this display of insincerity.

While listening to Sean Hannity today, he played a clip of Hillary Clinton admitting to colluding with the Italian Prime Minister in ways to stop Donald Trump. I am no lawyer, but is that not colluding against Trump? And if so, is this not far worse than colluding to win an election? This is trying to overthrow the US Government, IMHO.

There are people with bills to pay, etc.

The family of a former U.S. Marine detained in Iran on espionage charges is begging for his freedom a year after his death sentence was overturned, saying Tuesday they only recently learned he went on a month-long hunger strike and was found unconscious. Sarah Hekmati told The Associated Press that her family sent a letter to Iran's top leader, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling for the release of her 29-year-old brother, Amir. Iran's Supreme Court ordered a retrial for him last March, but that hasn't happened, and he's now been detained for 555 days. Iran accuses Amir Hekmati of...

Dems lie about voter fraud.

I just got an email from Pro Flowers and hit the unsubcribe link. They are gutless. Let them get the Libs support.

As the oil arrives on the Louisiana shores, Obama goes golfing Posted by Jeff J Latest News May 22, 2010 Beaches closed in Louisiana.. Officials closed the public beach here Friday as thick gobs of oil resembling melted chocolate washed up, a very visible reminder of the blown-out well that has been spewing crude into the Gulf of Mexico for a month. Up to now, only tar balls and a light sheen had come ashore. But oil was starting to hit the beach at this island resort community in various forms – light sheens, orange-colored splotches and heavier brown sheets...

While the Obama administration has faced second-guessing about the speed and effectiveness of some of its actions, a narrative pieced together by The Associated Press, based on documents, interviews and public statements, shows little resemblance to Katrina in either the characterization of the threat or the federal government's response.

Jerry Brown's office taped reporters' calls Joe Garofoli,Carla Marinucci, Chronicle Political Writers Friday, October 30, 2009 (10-29) 22:28 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- A spokesman for Attorney General Jerry Brown acknowledged Thursday that he taped a phone conversation with a reporter for The Chronicle this week without disclosing the fact or asking permission - and admitted he has taped conversations with other news reporters. Scott Gerber, spokesman for Brown's office, made the admission after the publication of a story in the newspaper that detailed consumer activist Harvey Rosenfield's criticisms of revisions the attorney general made to the summary of a ballot...

The Obama's are flying a day apart to Copenhagen to pitch Chicago for the 2016 Olympics. I just saw Michelle Obama getting off what they are calling AIR FORCE TWO. The President is arriving tomorrow on AIR FORCE ONE. Think of the carbon footprint these two limousine liberals are spewing all over the planet. And, the average taxpayer is taking it in the shorts on this. But, what the hell, he is the One to follow. Go get ém, lemmings.

Belgrade sentenced 14 Western leaders to 20 years in prison each on Thursday for war crimes during last year's NATO air strikes and said it would issue arrest warrants. US President Bill Clinton, Jacques Chirac of France, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and 11 other leaders have been on trial since Monday in the Belgrade District Court. Empty seats in the courtroom were labelled with their names. "In the name of the people...We sentence...to individual prison terms of 20 years each," presiding judge Veroljub Rakitic said, reading out the 14 names to applause. He said an order was given to...

VOTER ID LAW Looks like the bedwetters have gotten themselves into quite an ironic pickle. The Supreme Court is deciding on a case of voter ID requirements in Indiana. By now you know the liberal arguments ... it disenfranchises the poor, the minorities, the elderly, blah blah blah. Well it looks like someone didn't do their homework. Faye Buis-Ewing is 72 years old. She has become a "poster child" for the disenfranchised voter that will be protected under a voting system with no ID requirements. But now we've discovered one minor problem. Not only is Faye registered to vote, but...

2 Convicted for Vote Fraud in Ohio: No Mention That They're Democrats By Warner Todd Huston | November 6, 2007 - 05:02 ET We have seen over and over again how the MSM (and the AP in particular) can't seem to force themselves to mention the party affiliation of some elected official accused and/or convicted of a crime if that official happens to be a Democrat. Now the MSM has expanded that from elected officials even to party workers. The AP reports a story on two Democrat election officials convicted of recount rigging and neglect of official duties for their...

(CBS) In an exclusive interview with CBS News national security correspondent David Martin, Richard Armitage, once the No. 2 diplomat at the State Department, couldn't be any blunter. "Oh I feel terrible. Every day, I think I let down the president. I let down the Secretary of State. I let down my...

The reporter who managed to get a National Guardsman serving in Iraq to question Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld about why his unit's vehicles lacked sufficient armor, coached the soldier using false information. In fact, by the time Chattanooga Times Free Press reporter Edward Lee Pitts rehearsed Spc. Thomas "Jerry" Wilson on what to say to Rumsfeld, the Pentagon had already up-armored 97 percent of the vehicles in Thomas' 278th Regimental Combat Team, senior members of the Army's combat systems development and acquisition team said Thursday. Further undermining the premise of Pitt's question, orders to up-armor the last 20 of...

The Dems have been screaming about Florida for 4 years, but it was they who tried to steal the election, and not President Bush. First their supplicants in the Media declared the state already won by Bush before the polls closed in the Florida Panhandle. I believe it was first reported by NBC, but they all (Including Fox) followed suit within minutes. I feel this was deliberately done in order to have people in the Panhandle not go to vote. The Panhandle is heavily Republican. Estimates are that this cost Bush 8-10,000 votes. Someone please tell that dim bulb Rather...
