Someone tries to take out Vlad Putin. I will call BS.

Ron DeSatis continues to show he should be President.

And I have an I-told-you-so story.

 

News

Here is some news:

• Russian government officials are claiming Ukrainian forces attempted to kill President Vladimir Putin with a failed drone attack.
  • Officials say two drones were used in the “assassination attempt” at the president’s residence within the Kremlin compound, but were disabled by Russian defense systems.
  • No injuries or damage to the residence was reported. Putin was seen in video and photos released Wednesday meeting with a regional governor outside Moscow.
• The suspected gunman, Francisco Oropesa, was apprehended in Conroe, Texas, Tuesday evening after a four-day manhunt. The FBI said he was found hiding in a laundry closet.
  • Authorities said Wednesday that additional arrests have been made in connection to the deadly shooting of five people in Cleveland, Texas. 
  • Kean said he would not provide the exact number, saying the amount is “fluid right now,” but not more than five.
  • The Associated Press, citing Montgomery County Sheriff Rand Henderson, reported that Divimara Lamar Nava, 53, the wife of Oropesa, is among those in custody in connection with the Friday night shooting.
• Dave Hughes, 70, entered the $250 no-limit Texas Hold’em event with a prize pool of up to $17,450. Of the 83 competitors to enter the tournament, 82 of them were women, and the last one was Hughes.
  • Not sure how poker or chess is considered a sport but I’m good with men taking that over too.
  • I hope we keep this up until people get sick of it.
• Remember when I talked about how the Satanic Temple was suing a school district to have an afternoon Satan club.
  • I said the Satanic Temple would probably win?
  • John Gallagher, a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, issued a preliminary injunction requiring the district continue to give the After-School Satan Club the right to use its facilities
  • The ruling said: “When confronted with a challenge to free speech, the government’s first instinct must be to forward expression rather than quash it. Particularly when the content is controversial or inconvenient. Nothing less is consistent with the expressed purpose of American government to secure the core, innate rights of its people.”
  • We are allowed to have standards. I hope this school keeps fighting.

Good For Him

Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, continues to show leadership and be one of the strongest culture warrior.

According to the New York Post:

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation Monday that authorizes the use of the death penalty on convicted sex abusers of children. 

The new law, which goes into effect Oct. 1, allows the Sunshine State to seek capital punishment when an adult is convicted of sexual battery of a child under 12. 

While Republicans hold supermajorities in both chambers of the Florida Legislature, the measure was co-sponsored by a Democrat and passed with bipartisan support. 

DeSantis signed the bill despite a 2008 US Supreme Court ruling that found it unconstitutional for states to use capital punishment for crimes other than murder, setting the stage for a possible showdown at the high court.  

“We’re really delivering a big agenda,” DeSantis said during the bill signing ceremony. “So this is one important — but admittedly very small part — of an overall large agenda and very bold agenda that’s really setting the terms of the debate for the country, quite frankly.”

Some things:

• This is the difference between Trump and DeSantis. DeSantis is doing what Trump did in 2016.
• I know the idea of executing pedophiles is controversial.
• This will counter the push the desire to legalize pedophilia, kind of like what they are doing in California.

Keep Doing This

Republicans are finally jumping into the culture war. It is really refreshing and more needs to be done.

According to the New York Post:

Gov. Kevin Stitt, R-Okla., recently vetoed a bill that would continue funding for the statewide PBS station, claiming that the national network has been indoctrinating young children with LGBTQ propaganda.

During a press conference last week, the Republican lawmaker defended his decision to veto ongoing funding for the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA), the state network of public broadcasting service affiliates. 

OETA broadcasts PBS, which now includes LGBTQ content in some of its programming. The governor pointed to that as the main reason he signed the veto last Wednesday.

Stitt stated at a press conference, “I don’t think Oklahomans want to use their tax dollars to indoctrinate kids. And some of the stuff that they’re showing, it just overly sexualizes our kids.”

Show likes PBS staple “Sesame Street” have begun incorporating LGBTQ themes in recent years.

Piss Them Off

Want to piss off the devil? Make fun of him.

An Indiana councilman did just that.

According to Fox News:

A Republican councilman in Indiana is going viral after writing on Facebook that he now identifies as a woman of color in an apparent effort to troll the left.

Ryan Webb, a father of five who is married to his wife, Brandy, is currently a councilman for Delaware County, Indiana, according to his official account.

But he raised eyebrows after he announced his gender transition on Facebook in a move that some conservative commentators are interpreting as a joke. Webb himself has said that he is holding up a “mirror to the political left” to expose the contradictions in gender ideology.

“After much consideration I have decided to come out and finally feel comfortable announcing my true authentic self,” Webb wrote in a post from April.

“It is with great relief that I announce to everyone that I identify as a woman and not just any woman but as a woman of color as well. I guess this would make me gay/lesbian as well, since I am attracted to women,” he added.

Webb explained that friends, fellow council members and people in the community can continue to address him as “Ryan or as Councilman Webb” and that he will also “retain” his pronouns of “He/Him.”

The announcement, Webb wrote, likely made him the “very first lesbian woman of color in the history of Delaware County to ever serve on the Delaware county council.”

Of course, he is receiving death threats and calls to resign. He won’t. He also points out that we must believe all these men who think they are women. Why not his coming out?

Keep Going This Way

Elon Musk hates National Public Radio (NPR). He sees it as a state news outlet and only pushing the government’s talking points. He even tried to mark it as such on Twitter but changed his mind.

Well, he found another way to f- with the state media.

According to the Post Millennial:

Elon Musk has suggested that he might reassign National Public Radio’s Twitter account to “another company.”

According to the outlet, Musk “in a series of emails” sent to one of its reporters the Twitter CEO “suggested” he would transfer the network’s @NPR handle, to another person or organization writing, “So is NPR going to start posting on Twitter again, or should we reassign @NPR to another company?”

Under the social media platform’s terms of service, an account must be logged into at least every 30 days, and that “prolonged inactivity” can result in it being permanently removed.

NPR claimed that it asked Musk if he planned to change the platform’s definition of inactivity and declined to say what triggered his questions about the outlet’s inactivity on Twitter.

Hey, NPR refused to use Twitter because they hate Musk. So, what do they need their handle for?
