Ron DeSantis Goes Yard on Florida Republicans
Looking to Surrender on Redistricting
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 1/17/2022 5:01:06 PM
As RedState reported previously, the Florida Senate, led by Republican Wilton Simpson (currently endorsed by Donald Trump to run for Agriculture Commissioner), released two “final” Congressional redistricting map proposals a week ago. To be frank, those maps were an absolute giveaway to Democrats, taking things from the current 16-11 R to D map to a 16-12 R to D map. It was beyond comprehension why any Florida Republican would look to surrender on redistricting in the face of massive gerrymanders by Democrats in states like California, Illinois, New York, and Maryland. It mimicked the inexplicable proposal coming from GOP leadership in Missouri.

Matt Walsh, Daily Wire podcast host and best-selling children’s author, made an appearance on Dr. Phil that will reverberate across the country for quite some time. Destroying the narrative that men can identify as women and actually become women, Walsh put one very simple question to the opposing debaters who outnumbered him three to one. “What is a woman?”
The guests who were arguing the narrative that men can be women didn’t have an answer for that. “One of the problems with the left-wing gender ideology is that no one who espouses it can even tell you what these words mean,” said Walsh. “What is a woman?”
The terrorist who held four people hostage inside a Texas synagogue unleashed an expletive-ridden, anti-Semitic rant during a chilling final call to his family — in which he expressed his wish for martyrdom and said he would come “home in a f–king body bag,” according to a report.
In an audio of the conversation obtained by the Jewish Chronicle, Malik Faisal Akram told his brother, Gulbar, 43, in Blackburn during the siege at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville that he has “come to die.”
“I’m opening the doors for every youngster in England to enter America and f–k with them!” said Akram, 43, who addressed fellow jihadists.
Though there were many wild and eye-opening moments during President Biden’s press conference Wednesday, perhaps none of them were quite as bizarre as the exchange that occurred between Biden and RealClearNews reporter Philip Wegmann.
As we reported, when Wegmann was called on to ask Biden some questions after the speech he gave, something he asked about were the remarks Biden made at that Georgia rally last week where he compared his political opponents to notable Democrat racists from the past like Bull Connor, George Wallace, and Jefferson Davis.
“You know, you campaigned and you ran on a return to civility,” Wegmann began. “And I know that you dispute the characterization
FBI agents have been spotted conducting a 'court-authorized' investigation at the Texas home of United States Representative Henry Cuellar, who has vowed to cooperate fully.
Federal agents were seen inside and around Cuellar's mansion in Laredo on Wednesday, where they took photos of trucks parked in the circular drive out front, The Monitor reported.
In a statement, the FBI remained tight-lipped about the reason for the visit, but confirmed that it was part of an 'ongoing investigation.'
'The FBI was present in the vicinity of Windridge Drive and Estate Drive in Laredo conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity,' a Bureau spokesperson said.
President Biden’s marathon two-hour press conference Wednesday was an exercise in self-delusion.
The reality of American voters’ lived experience of his presidency is evident in his plummeting polls after a hellish first year of self-inflicted crises, from Afghanistan to inflation to illegal migration.
And yet the president declared to the world that he is doing a tremendous job and has “achieved more than any president in history.”
He blamed Republicans for any stumbles, despite the fact that his party controls the White House, the House and the Senate.
Only a couple of things would he do differently, he said.
The left politicized COVID from the start

From the moment COVID-19 appeared, the pandemic became inseparable from politics.
Political frenzy was inevitable since the SARS-CoV-2 virus may have escaped from a level-4-security virology lab in Wuhan, China.
The rapid-fire spread soon threatened to indict the Chinese Communist government for nearly destroying the world economy and killing millions.
Western elites, in response, feared that their own lucrative investments in China would be jeopardized by such disclosures — and so acted accordingly in defending Beijing.
Nonetheless, one scenario that remains intriguing is that the escaped virus was birthed by gain-of-function research scientists, overseen by elements of the Chinese Communist military. Worse, the lab was given subsidies by US health authorities,
A Minnesota woman's battle to keep her husband on a ventilator months after contracting COVID-19 has bought him more time, albeit in a hospital out of their home state of Minnesota.
Anne Quiner filed a lawsuit against Mercy Hospital near Minneapolis after she was advised that doctors planned to take her husband, Scott Quiner, off a ventilator. A judge granted her request for a temporary stay for the case to proceed and days later, Scott was moved to a facility in Texas, where he remains intubated.
Everything Is Worse Under Biden

The stink of Biden's failure permeates the land, reeking intensely not unlike Eric Swalwell’s Volvo with the windows shut tight on a hot day on the way home from a double-bean chili feed at Fang Fang’s condo. Welcome to the malaise, kids. Welcome to what we all hope turns out to be merely Jimmy Carter 2.0 rather than James Buchannan 2.0.
Pray we dodge those bullets, literally. I’ve got a new non-fiction book from Regnery on America’s looming chaos coming out on July 12th, so I’ve been digging deep into the worst-case scenarios. You’ll want to pray really hard.
Since Trump left, everything has gotten worse.
What would you say about a firefighter who speeds through town every day with sirens shrieking and horns blaring for cars to move over as he blows through traffic lights, then finally stops to gush tons of water on a building that was never on fire?
“He’s a nut! He’s crazy! The man should be nowhere near a fire engine!”
You’d be right.
That’s how Trump’s enemies saw him back in 2016 – as a deranged fireman bullying people around and screaming about fires that didn’t exist. Except they did exist. All over the place.
For the tens of millions who voted for Trump,
In the nation’s capital, every citizen must carry their papers in public. No vax, no photo ID, no mask? No soup for you! But requiring an ID to vote? Nope. According to D.C. Mayor Bowser and every harpy Democrat on Capitol Hill, that’s racist voter suppression. Never mind that a vast majority of normal voters and Democrats think an ID to vote makes perfect sense, Democrat mayors and their Capitol Hill counterparts disagree. Shut up, general public, your betters, know better. And Democrats have plenty of willing partners to gaslight America for them. All Joe, Chuck, and Nancy need to do is ask the media to jump,

A 25-year Maine doctor has had her license temporarily suspended and been ordered to submit to a psychological evaluation for the alleged offenses of treating her patients with Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, in addition to sharing so-called “misinformation” about the coronavirus and its associated vaccines.
The State of Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine issued the 30-day suspension (minimum) last Tuesday on the grounds that Dr. Meryl J. Nass’ medical services would constitute “an immediate jeopardy to the health and physical safety of the public.”
The order goes into detail about how she prescribed Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine to several patients and once falsely labeled a patient a victim of Lyme disease

Alabama football coach Nick Saban was among a handful of sports figures from West Virginia to sign a letter urging Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat, to support the passage of the Freedom to Vote Act. The letter, which was made public on Monday, also was signed by NBA Hall of Famer Jerry West, former West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck, former NFL All-Pro Darryl Talley and former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue.
President Joe Biden stated Wednesday that there was no way for the U.S. military to withdraw from Afghanistan easily, an apparent contradiction to what he told Americans to expect ahead of the withdrawal.Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan remains among the lowest points of his first year in office, leading to the deaths of more than a dozen U.S. service members and abandoning more than 100 U.S. citizens under Taliban control alongside tens of thousands of Afghan allies. Prior to the withdrawal, Biden told Americans the operation would be safe and orderly, but
BREAKING: Schumer Suffers Crushing Defeat

on Filibuster, as Manchin and Sinema Stand Firm 40 replies
I’m not sure what Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) thought he was going to get by pushing a vote on the Democratic effort to federalize elections (which they call ‘voting rights’) and on the filibuster.
Schumer knew that he was likely to get a “no” on the filibuster from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ). They’ve only been holding fast on the subject for months. Both also were very firm on the subject in speeches — Sinema earlier in the week and Manchin earlier on Wednesday. It wasn’t happening, they said.
But Schumer decided to commit electoral suicide anyway, and he got it tonight.
Trump v. DeSantis: Advantage, DeSantis

Things keep changing. A few months ago I thought Trump would not run. Then I thought he would run. Now, I don’t think so once again. And one of the tells is the subtle shot he took at DeSantis over vaccines. The fact is that Trump, if he runs, is not a shoo-in. And this could be an epic battle for the chance to beat Kamala Harris like a drum in 2024. And, at least according to people like you who took my most recent Twitter poll, Trump is not a shoo-in. He’s dropped to just one-third support from nearly half six months ago. If he wants to win
President Joe Biden will hold a rare solo press conference on Wednesday evening, the day before his one-year annivesary in office, where he is expected to defend his tenure in the White House and preview his plans for the next three years. He will also likely face questions on the issues of the day - voting rights, his Build Back Better bill, his declining approval rating, Russia and the Ukraine, inflation and the Omicron variant of COVID. His last solo press conference in the White House was in March and his last formal press conference was in October, when he was in Glasgow, Scotland for COP26.
The congressional investigation into the January 6 attack has reportedly obtained records of phone numbers associated with one of former President Trump's sons, Eric Trump, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is engaged to Donald Trump Jr. It represents a fresh escalation into probe as the select committee for the first time targeted a member of Trump's family. The phone records were subpoenaed from communication companies, multiple sources told CNN. The details reportedly include logs that show incoming and outgoing calls, as well as text messages, but not the substance or content of the messages.
Actor and superyacht enthusiast Leonardo DiCaprio told Deadline planet Earth has “literally” nine years left on its “ticking clock,” and that “we should not have any elected leaders, on a state level, on a city level, or a national level that don’t listen to science.”
In the Titanic star’s latest Netflix film Don’t Look Up, two astronomers (played by DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence) go on a media tour to warn mankind of an approaching comet that will destroy Earth. But instead of taking the astronomers seriously, the comet becomes politicized. The film goes on to make several thinly veiled references to the Trump
The corrupt Pennsylvania Secretary of State, Dominion Voting Machines, and now the Democrats in the Pennsylvania Senate all desperately want to end the investigation of the voting machines in Fulton County. Today they dropped nearly 750 pages of garbage arguments and made their plea in front of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.Remember this… As an international auditor who performed hundreds of audits around the world, I have never seen or heard about an auditee refusing to be audited. I have certainly never experienced an auditee take me to court to prevent an audit from taking place…
Senior Senate Democrats are insisting that universal mail-in ballots and voter drop boxes, measures included in their election overhaul legislation, help to fight racism. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Minnesota Democrat and chair of the Rules Committee, said the federal voting measure is needed to counter what she called efforts by some states to suppress the vote. “They’ve rolled back things that they’ve changed during the pandemic, like witnesses for mail-in ballots in South Carolina,” she said. “No matter which way they did it, it all adds up to one thing. And that is voter suppression and limiting people’s freedom to vote.”
President Joe Biden claimed five Republican senators have told him they'd vote alongside Democrats on various bills, but expressed fear former President Donald Trump would unleash a primary challenger if they stepped out of line.'I've had five Republican senators talk to me, bump in to me ... or sit with me. Who have told me that they agree with whatever I'm talking about for them to do. "But Joe, if I do it I'm getting defeated in a primary,"' Biden said Wednesday at a press conference marking the end of his first year in office. 'We've gotta break that, it's gotta change.'
Over the last few months, unflattering stickers of President Biden have been popping up at gas stations across America. They've been spotted in places like Georgia, Ohio, Idaho, and along I-95 between Washington, D.C., and Florida. The stickers typically show Biden pointing at the price of gas, saying "I did that!"
Vice President Kamala Harris insisted Thursday morning that the US was prepared to levy “serious and severe costs” against Russia should its president, Vladimir Putin, order an invasion of Ukraine—hours after President Biden suggested during a White House news conference that a “minor incursion” would be met with a less robust response. Harris was dispatched to NBC’s “Today” show to clean up after her boss, who initially vowed Wednesday that Moscow “will be held accountable” in the event of an invasion, but then suggested that the severity of the consequences “depends on what it does.”(Snip)Harris began her answer by boasting that she starts every morning reading
