Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who has not announced a 2024 presidential campaign.

During each of the last two election cycles the Hunter Biden laptop corruption has been smothered. The case is ripe for prosecution but it has been smothered by David Weiss, the US ADA for Delaware. On top of that, Alvin Bragg, among others, is asserting that Donald Trump attempted to interfere with elections but it's all been one way against Trump. Those 51 "security experts" who signed a the letter claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation truly interfered with the 2020 election along with Weiss.

Twitter appears to have removed its ban on using the former names of transgender people. Called “deadnaming” by transgender activists, it was banned in the pre-Musk era, when Twitter’s woke censorship regime was at its height. The former policy, which has now been removed, banned “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.” It came amid a wider rollback of Twitter’s censorship policies, including the greater use of labeling vs. outright removal of “hateful” tweets. But it was the removal of the “deadnaming” policy that led to howls of outrage from the woke left. The president of the leftist LGBT advocacy...

Childhood is in crisis. History is not repeating itself. This has never happened before. In Japan and worldwide – but in Japan especially – the strongest terminology applies. Children in Japan are an endangered species. Fewer and fewer children are being born. The 799,278 births recorded in 2022 represent a 5.1-percent decline from 2021. It’s the seventh consecutive record low – down from a 1973 peak of 2.09 million. Elderly Japanese 65 or over constituted as of 2020 28.6 percent of the population – the highest in the world; children 15 or under: 11.8 percent – the world’s lowest. In...

Alyssa Farah Griffin told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that Republican lawmakers are “out of touch” with Republican voters who support the LGBTQ community. Wednesday on WCIV, DeSantis said, “We’re just nixing this whole idea of teachers saying choose your pronouns. We never used to do that. We’re not going to do it in Florida schools. We’re going to do normal school like everyone did for the whole history of our country until, like, two hours ago.” Co-host Sara Haines said, “Referencing what he just said about normal because there was a time when black and white people...

The U.S. Supreme Court may be the only hope for America. And that’s because President Trump made three conservative appointments to the Court. But he also named other judges. One is Matthew Kacsmaryk, a U.S. District Court Judge who has cited substantial evidence that the FDA’s approval of chemical abortion drugs was illegal and that the drugs themselves are dangerous to women and children.Evidence cited in the case demonstrates that the FDA approved the abortion drugs on an illegal and expedited basis even though they are associated with the deaths of not only the unborn babies but the pregnant women,...

A Russian woman has been arrested after dressing her cat up to look like a baby in order to stash its clothing with drugs. After reportedly arousing suspicion, the mother, with what appeared to be her two children, was taken for questioning by police in the Russian city of Nizhny Tagil. The woman had been walking with her young daughter in the holiday resort with what appeared to be a baby sitting snug inside a pram. After being intercepted by police, officials realised the young family wasn't quite what it seemed as instead of a baby, they discovered something with...

I was born in 1955, nine years after the start of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the West. One of the constant refrains from that era was the claim that the Soviets represented “godless” communism. The false belief continues to frame how most Americans view modern Russia — i.e., it is a godless country. But that is a lie. The Russia of Vladimir Putin is a Christian nation, but respects and embraces its Muslim citizens.I believe that one of the unstated reasons the West hates Russia is because the majority of the Russian people strongly embrace Eastern...

It looks like even the Oakland Athletics are joining the mass exodus of Californians fleeing for a better life.
