Why would the people of Ohio elect such a person, then?
Maybe, just maybe, our whole system of government is flawed? Maybe the American people aren't fit -- or, at least, are no longer fit -- to govern themselves?
People tend to vote for the familiar and he’s been around Ohio forever!
We have the best politicians that corporate money can buy.
Lindsey Graham
Nikki Haley
Mitch McConnell
John Cornyn
Brian Kemp
Mike DeWine
Katie Britt
Tom Cotton
Michael McCaul
and the list goes on and on 90 plus percent in both parties.
Big Military
Big Pharma
Big Tech
Big Energy
—DeWine claimed that, were he to support the bill, “Ohio would be saying that the state, that the government, knows better what is best for a child than the two people who know that child the best—the parents.”
By that reasoning, the state would have to stand idly by if parents were to blind a child or sever its limbs, if they declared that that was in its best interest. I’m not sure what ideological framework he is working in.
Genesis 18:21-33 New King James Version
21 I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”
22 Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord.
23 And Abraham came near and said, “Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24 Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it?
25 Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
26 So the Lord said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.”
27 Then Abraham answered and said, “Indeed now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord:
28 Suppose there were five less than the fifty righteous; would You destroy all of the city for lack of five?”
So He said, “If I find there forty-five, I will not destroy it.”
29 And he spoke to Him yet again and said, “Suppose there should be forty found there?”
So He said, “I will not do it for the sake of forty.”
30 Then he said, “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Suppose thirty should be found there?”
So He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
31 And he said, “Indeed now, I have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: Suppose twenty should be found there?”
So He said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty.”
32 Then he said, “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there?”
And He said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.”
33 So the Lord went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.

The guy would have more credibility if he wasn’t governor of a state with literally hundreds of pages of statutes and regulations governing the practice of medicine.
“ BREAKING: Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, has vetoed a bill that would have banned transgender minors from receiving gender-affirming care and prevented transgender girls from taking part in girls’ and women’s sports. ”
Hi, there is no such thing as a transgender. Thanks.
He has always been a sometimes Romney.
Another would-be “tranny” just shot up a school and killed a 7th grader. And DeWhine wants to ban therapy that would mitigate this condition. He is complicit.
Yes,I’ve read post-transition transgender kids are 8-15 times more likely to attempt suicide. So much for the “either a live daughter or a dead ‘son’” BS.
These “trans” people just don’t live very long if they keep up the charade. The older ones “transitioned” when they were already middle age. The ones who do it post-puberty are just asking for a very short life.
