Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) lack of traction in the Republican primary is undermining his support and sway in Florida politics as his White House bid is widely anticipated to “end in failure,” according to a report.Politico reported on DeSantis’s influence problem in the Sunshine State on Friday, citing interviews with dozens involved in the state’s politics: Interviews with nearly two dozen lobbyists, political consultants and lawmakers revealed that DeSantis’ struggles as a presidential candidate have already eroded his influence in Florida. There is a widespread expectation that his candidacy will end in failure. His standing at home may depend on...

Hunter Schafer is a trans model, actor, and LQBT activist who is mostly known for playing the role of Jules in the teen series Euphoria (read my full article about this toxic show here). As you probably noticed, the entertainment industry is doing everything in its power to embed trans celebrities in popular culture. Therefore, Schafer regularly gets featured in magazines such as the last issue of AnOther. Of course, everything about it is highly symbolic.The cover of the magazine features a blatant one-eye sign, indicating that everything else inside of it will be elite-sponsored propaganda. And, boy, is it...

A $4 billion Panasonic electric vehicle battery factory in De Soto, Kansas, will help satisfy the Biden administration’s efforts to get everyone into an EV. It also will help extend the life of a coal-fired power plant. Resource Adequacy Panasonic broke ground on the facility last year. The Japanese company was slated to receive $6.8 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act, which has been pouring billions into electric vehicles and battery factories as part of its effort to transition America away from fossil fuels. The Kansas City Star reports that the factory will require between 200 and 250 megawatts of...

It’s not the first time that U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez has determined that California’s ban on “large capacity” magazines violates the Second Amendment, but hopefully this time the decision will stick. Benitez issued his first ruling before the Bruen decision was released last year, but the Ninth pulled its typical move and overruled him in an en banc review, sending the case to the Supreme Court. After Bruen, the Supreme Court granted cert and remanded the case back to the Ninth Circuit with instructions to reconsider in light of the text, history, and tradition test it laid out, but...

KGO I-Team investigative reporter Dan Noyes has covered plenty of crime stories, but Sunday night, became the victim of crime himself. In a video Noyes just posted to his Facebook and Twitter accounts Wednesday morning, we see freshly rattled Noyes describing that he was assaulted in an encounter with a group of teens, one of whom tried to steal his bike. And while Noyes has a badly bruised and possibly injured arm from the encounter, he did stymie the would-be bike thief by threatening, “You're about to be on Channel 7.”Update: Noyes tells SFist that he did indeed suffer a...

A Fairfield father says that a federally funded health clinic operating within Lawrence High School provided his minor daughter with a baggy of prescription anti-depressants without his knowledge or consent. When the girl’s father, Eric Sack, discovered the baggy of pills over the weekend, his daughter told him that it was provided to her by the Bulldog Health Center, a School Based Health Center (SBHC) at Lawrence High School. Sack saw the the pills as an infringement on his parental rights, but he was also concerned that the school’s clinic sent unlabeled drugs with no child-resistant container into his home,...

Dan Noyes, an award-winning investigative reporter for ABC7 Bay Area, was riding his bicycle in the Presidio National Park site, near the Golden Gate Bridge, when he encountered the massive group. “I’m coming home and I see a group of probably 15 young teens, young teens probably couldn’t drive yet, a lot on bicycles,” Noyes said in a video posted to his social media accounts...

There is "extreme attrition and high turnover" in the Russian military, even among its senior ranks, the UK Ministry Defence said in an intelligence update on Saturday. The department pointed to the high turnover of commanders of the Russian 247th Guards Air Assault Regiment, one of Russia's most prestigious airborne regiments. Colonel Vasily Popov, the regiment's commander, died during battle on September 14, making him the third person to lead the regiment since the war began in February 2022. He had replaced his predecessor, Colonel Pyotr Popov, just weeks prior, after the colonel resigned, possibly in protest against the Russian...

Hundreds of students in Pennsylvania walked out of school in protest over a new rule allowing transgender students to use the bathroom of their choice. High school students in Perkiomen Valley School District staged the protest after officials opted not to adopt a policy that would force students to use restrooms which correspond with their biological sex. They accused education chiefs of 'compromising' their rights and putting female students at risk during the demonstration last week.

…. Rittenhouse killed Anthony Huber and Joe Rosenbaum, who were no angels: Huber was a rapist and domestic abuser, and Rosenbaum was a pedophile. Yet, this case was dredged up because one of the witnesses, Gaige Grosskreutz, whom Rittenhouse shot in the arm when he pointed a gun at him, got hit by a car on September 2. It wasn’t just a little tap either—the man got trucked. JUST IN: Gaige Grosskreutz, the man who was shot in the bicep after attacking Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was hit by a car in a hit-and-run incident. Grosskreutz, who has since...

Is Bidenomics the proverbial “Highway to hell”? The most recent report on US exisiting home sales showed that sales decreased in 17 of the last 19 months as The Fed tightens monetary policy to combat inflation caused by … 1) The Fed and 2) Bidenomics spending on green energy. The US housing market will be “back in black” once Biden and Congress stop their reckless spending and borrowing. Biden has added $5,352,202 to the national debt since being selected (not by me!). That is a 19% increase in The Federal debt in just 33 months! Not to mention the ludicrous...

Twelve years ago this week, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the discriminatory military policy that barred lesbian, gay and bisexual people from serving openly in the U.S. Armed Forces, ended. Between 1994 and 2011, while Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was in effect, the military kicked me and an estimated 14,000 of my peers out — not for our merits, but simply because of who we were as people. While ending Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell enabled military service for lesbian, gay and bisexual people, transgender people were still de facto banned under a McCarthy-era executive order that tasked federal agencies with investigating...

September 22, 2023 | Sundance | 398 Comments Politico writes a vast majority of stories from a slanted perspective; however, on the aspect of DeSantis influence in Florida disappearing, they are correct. One is the loneliest number. Republicans in the sunshine state are ambivalent about the governor returning, after a disgraced and failed presidential effort. Quite frankly, DeSantis is an irrelevant gnat now, and he has three years left in his term as Florida governor. This isn’t a surprise; it was easily predicted over a year ago when we first discussed the ruse of the Florida election. We knew DeSantis...

FORT WORTH, Texas - Three people are in police custody following a high-speed chase Wednesday morning that spanned several cities. Fort Worth police began chasing the suspects in a white vehicle before 6 a.m. "Our officers arrived on scene, they did see those individuals get into a vehicle," Fort Worth PD spokesman Buddy Calzada said.
