DeSantis is actually talking about issues...well
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/16/2023 8:42:55 AM
One of the great frustrations I have with most of the Republican candidates for president, especially including Donald Trump, is that they are talking about Donald Trump all the time. The 2020 election is in the rearview mirror, and the 2024 election should be–must be–about America’s future, not whether and how much Donald Trump is being persecuted by his enemies or betrayed by the people that he hired. Trump keeps talking about himself, and everybody else is either talking about Trump or knocking Ron DeSantis. Politically speaking there is a reason why they are doing this–they need to stand out from the pack and to knock down the top two candidates

Chinese Thoroughly Embarrass the Biden Administration 9 replies
On Saturday, Joe Biden arrived in Philadelphia, PA, to battle it out with Sen. John Fetterman for who is the least capable of doing their job. Before their trainwreck of a joint presser, though, the president took a question on US tensions with China while exiting Air Force One.
What he told a reporter in response was astonishing. Namely, Biden claimed that the Chinese spy balloon that traversed much of the continental United States wasn’t intentional and that CCP leadership wasn’t even aware of what the balloon was doing.
REPORTER: Can Secretary Blinken ease tensions with China on this trip, do you think?
BIDEN: Sure, well look…(long pause)…China has…(long pause)…
Ron DeSantis charmed a Nevada rodeo crowd alongside his all-American family during a presidential campaign stop on Friday evening.
The Florida governor, his wife Casey DeSantis and their three children Madison, 6, Mason, 5, and Mamie, 3, were hosted by one of the sponsors of the Reno Rodeo in a box with premium views of the arena, where a slew of attendees could walk by and shake his hand or take a selfie. 'They're in the right place,' a rodeo-goer told DailyMail.com when asked how he felt about the 2024 GOP presidential candidate attending. Before bringing their kids to the rodeo, Ron and Casey stopped to drink beers with veterans
Ron DeSantis, wife Casey, and children Madison, Mamie and Mason attended Patriot Night at the Reno Rodeo in Nevada on Friday. Along with the Florida governor and Republican presidential primary candidate was former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt. Laxalt chaired Trump’s 2020 campaign in Nevada, but he is backing his old friend DeSantis this time. He also heads up the pro-DeSantis super PAC Never Back Down. This weekend marks the first trip to Nevada by DeSantis since he declared his candidacy. He is the first-ever presidential candidate to visit the Reno Rodeo. His family is on the road with him. His wife Casey and their three very young children provide
Former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday criticized former President Donald Trump's position on abortion and the national debt, accusing his old boss of drifting away from conservative principles.
"Look, in 2016, Donald Trump promised to govern as a conservative," Pence said in an interview with NBC News’ Chuck Todd to air in full Sunday on “Meet the Press.” "But he makes no such promise today. Not only has he been walking away from a clear commitment to the right to life, but, look, we have a national debt the size of our nation’s economy. "Donald Trump’s position on the national debt is identical to Joe Biden’s," he said.

Chris Wray, blasts ‘puppet master’

Donald Trump “was” his friend, President Biden is a “disaster” and Democratic mega-donor George Soros is a “puppet master,” former Vice President Mike Pence said during an exclusive interview with The Post. Pence, 64, who entered an increasingly crowded 2024 GOP presidential primary race this week, gave candid answers when asked for fast-take reactions to names in the news. Some elicited quick responses, while others took longer, such as when he asked about Hunter Biden.
“Time to answer questions,” he finally said, after ruminating for nearly a minute.
Other responses came much more quickly, such as when he was presented with Bud Light.
“Not anymore,” Pence said.
Opposition is in full swing to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ on-field ceremony honoring the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an organization of “drag nuns” that the Catholic League calls an anti-Catholic hate group. Thousands of Catholics, other Christians, and even some people of the Jewish faith gathered in a parking lot near the Dodgers’ stadium on Friday afternoon to pray ahead of the game. Later, the religious groups marched to Dodger Stadium, shutting down one entryway on Vin Scully Avenue.
Weeks of momentous opposition led to the drag nuns being announced on-field to a mostly empty stadium, while receiving some boos from baseball fans in attendance.
During Friday’s CNN This Morning, the network covered 16 young people suing the state of Montana over climate change. Chief climate correspondent Bill Weir portrayed the young people as the heroes of a movie where they attempt to fend off the Republican-controlled government, despite admitting that the lawsuit would not change anything even if the judge ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. The lawsuit merely singled out Montana Republicans and blamed them for the existence of fossil fuel. CNN called it “fascinating” and “such a great story.” The case hinged on the following clause in the Montana state constitution: “The state shall maintain and improve a clean and healthful environment
A hypothetical 2024 poll shows that former President Donald Trump is tied with President Joe Biden in Michigan, a state the Republican won in 2016 but lost in 2020, in a hypothetical general election matchup. The EPIC-MRA poll, released Friday morning, shows Biden and Trump in a dead heat in the Wolverine State at 44 percent apiece. Another 12 percent are either undecided or refused to answer. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) performs slightly better in a hypothetical head-to-head with the 80-year-old Biden, leading 45 percent to 44 percent. In that matchup, 11 percent of the poll participants are undecided. Trump narrowly won Michigan over twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
The United Kingdom has opened an inquiry into what worked, what didn’t, and what can be done better in light of the experience the country had during the COVID pandemic.
Gee, what a concept.
They are at just the beginning stages, so we have no idea how it will turn out, but early indications are that it at least won’t be solely a whitewash.
Again, what a concept. Actually trying to learn something from experience rather than confirm one’s priors. It’s almost as if covering everybody’s asses isn’t the sole value.
The opening of the inquiry laid some cards on the table: nobody had a clue what they were getting into, and nobody
Barack Obama popped up for an interview on CNN with his old pal David Axelrod and took off after Senator Tim Scott. Scott is running for president and Obama is in a snit about a conservative black man with a compelling life story running for the top job. Scott doesn’t divide Americans along racial lines or present a positive vision of the American Dream so he must be trashed by jealous Democrats.
Ponder back to the days of Barack Obama in the White House. He suckered in voters with a phony upbeat message of Yes, We Can and giving voters the hope and change schtick. Not only did
Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers and was labeled the “most dangerous man in America” by Henry Kissinger, has died at age 92.
Ellsberg announced in March that he was terminally ill with pancreatic cancer, sharing on Facebook: “When I copied the Pentagon Papers in 1969, I had every reason to think I would be spending the rest of my life behind bars. It was a fate I would gladly have accepted if it meant hastening the end of the Vietnam War, unlikely as that seemed (and was). Yet in the end, that action—in ways I could not have foreseen, due to Nixon’s illegal responses

Meghan Markle could become one of the highest paid influencers in the world, receiving £200,000 per post to endorse brands, experts have suggested, as she is tipped to become the new face of French fashion house Dior.
The Duchess of Sussex was dealt a blow by audio giant Spotify earlier this week after it was announced that they would not be renewing her podcast Archetypes for a second season following a 'mutual' decision - a move that could see Meghan and Prince Harry lose $10 million.
But Meghan is set to weather the storm,
The utter failure of Merrick Garland
37 replies
Merrick Garland began his tenure as attorney general with the stated intention of restoring faith in the Justice Department and the rule of law. By that standard, Garland has been a failure.
In fact, if anything, the crisis of faith surrounding his department has only deepened on his watch, and he bears some of the blame. Polls show that half the country distrusts the FBI. A recent poll by Harvard CAPS-Harris found that 70 percent are either very or somewhat concerned about election interference by the FBI and other intelligence agencies. An additional 71 percent agreed that changes post-2016 had not done enough to prevent further interference and
Democrat and Ranking member of the House Weaponization Subcommittee says the quiet part out loud. Democrat Delegate to the House of Representatives from the US Virgin Islands Stacey Plaskett appeared to make a Freudian slip during her latest appearance on MSNBC. During her latest appearance on The Sunday Show Plaskett stated, “Having Trump not only having the codes but now having the classified information for Americans and being able to put that out and share it in his resort with anyone and everything who comes through should be terrifying to all Americans.” Plaskett then continued, “He needs to be (shot) — Stopped.”
Presidential hopeful Mike Pence won't say whether he would pardon Donald Trump, claiming that the former president could still be found innocent in his federal indictment.
Trump's former VP shared with NBC host Chuck Todd that he was hoping Trump would 'come around' to accepting the results of the 2020 election by now.
Pence is now running against his former boss in the 2024 primary – and argued that Trump is not the same leader he was when they ran together in 2016.
Former President Obama wants the government to be able to track and hunt down Americans by their fingerprints if they dare spread so-called "misinformation." During an interview with podcast host David Axelrod, Obama called for implementing "digital fingerprints" as a mandatory online requirement to combat misinformation.
The Democrat suggested the government needs a way to track and identify people who spread so-called "misinformation" online.
The CNN podcaster claimed he has seen "misinformation, disinformation, [and] deep fakes" targeting the former president, which Obama agreed with
Five people were killed and at least 42 were injured in multiple shootings as violence erupted across the country over the holiday weekend.
A shooting at a Juneteenth celebration in a suburban Illinois town left one person dead after at least 20 people were shot outside a shopping center overnight.
It happened around 12:30 a.m. on Route 83 near Honeysuckle Lane in Willowbrook, Illinois, Battalion Chief Joe Ostrander with the Tri-State Fire Protection District told WLS.
Monday, the nineteenth of June, is our newest federal holiday (just 2 years old), Juneteenth, and federal workers get yet another day’s pay without having to work for it. Since the federal workforce is heavily overrepresented with black workers (18.2% of the federal workforce versus 12.6% of the population), the words “disparate impact” come to mind, benefitting African Americans with a paid holiday that not too many other employees get, judging by the fact that I was able to book two appointments with service providers tomorrow before I even realized Monday was holiday.
The transgender issue makes everyone crazy. That’s the only explanation I can give for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) berating the state of Florida for executing Duane Owen, who was convicted of raping and murdering a 14-year-old babysitter and a 38-year-old mother of two.
Indeed, the ACLU is strongly opposed to capital punishment. But the organization only made passing reference to their opposition to the death penalty. Instead, they were livid with Florida for executing Duane Owen because the state refused to allow Owen to “transition” to female. (Snip) “No one should be killed by the state. The time to end the racist, unfair, and cruel death penalty is now,”
Scott is the only Black candidate in the 2024 Republican presidential primary race and Haley is Indian American.
Which has got to leave a sour taste in Scott's mouth, given that he's the only black man in the presidential race, and what's more, he's actually lived firsthand through the era of real racism as a child growing up in the South.
Asked about Scott’s messaging, Obama said there was sometimes a tendency among Republican candidates to gloss over the effects of racism, arguing that candidates need to address racial disparities to be taken seriously on the subject of American unity.

Joe Biden on Friday left Americans scratching their heads with an off-the-cuff remark that was, well, royally unusual for a US president: “God save the queen, man!”
What he meant, which queen he was referring to, and why he threw in what sounded like the traditional patriotic British cry, no one could immediately tell.Queen Elizabeth II, whom Biden met, died in September 2022 and was replaced by a king — her son Charles.Biden had just completed an impassioned speech at the National Safer Communities Summit in Connecticut on getting Congress to toughen gun ownership laws when he made the remark from the stage.

Willowbrook, Ill. (CBS) - Police are investigating after one person was killed and 19 others were hurt in a mass shooting in southwest suburban Willowbrook overnight.
We're learning it happened during a Juneteenth celebration among young people there.
CBS 2's Asal Rezaei reported from the scene with what we know so far.
Police say the shooting happened around 12:30 a.m. while a crowd gathered for a party in a parking lot off Route 83 in Willowbrook.
Witnesses say 20 to 30 gunshots were fired into a crowd of over 200 teens and young adults. who were gathered for what is usually a fun and safe time. (Snip) No one is in custody.
Frank Luntz Needs to Retire
18 replies
Overrated political pollster Frank Luntz admitted last week that he was wrong to prematurely dismiss a Trump comeback. "Not only can Donald Trump win the GOP primary again, but he can also win the presidency again," Luntz tweeted.
Luntz has always struck me as a pretend statistician whose real role is to shill for whatever the Republican side of the Uniparty needs voters to support. He peddles Deep State lies to ordinary Americans as truth. He wears a bad toupee, eats his feelings, and is more believable as Chris Farley's "man in a van down by the river" than House speaker McCarthy's former landlord.
