Debate of a controversial bill in Texas to ban young transgender people from accessing surgery, puberty blockers and hormone therapy was blocked Tuesday amid angry protest, with police and activists scuffling outside the House chamber. Protesters inside the chamber, seated in the gallery, began a noisy chant as the SB14 was being discussed - unfurling banners, clapping and catcalling. The Sergeant at Arms was asked to remove the agitators, who chanted 'trans rights are human rights' as they were dragged out of the chamber.

Former President Donald Trump sued The New York Times, three of its reporters, and his own niece in 2021 over an investigation into his tax returns. On Wednesday, a New York trial judge dismissed the suit, saying the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation into his finances was clearly protected by the First Amendment.As The Times eagerly reported, Trump accused the paper and three of its reporters of conspiring in an “insidious plot” with his estranged niece, Mary Trump, to improperly obtain his confidential tax records and federal tax returns for a series of stories published in 2018.
My thoughts on Karine Jean Pierre's job performance have been rather clear, and clear-eyed, since the very beginning. Having spoken to multiple people who used to occupy her exact role, as well as a number of public-facing Democrats, let's just say that my assessment is not an outlier. This week, on the subject of the border crisis, the White House Press Secretary did an especially poor and mendacious job on consecutive days. I say this not because she garbled words or offered little of value, which is par for the course, but because she told a massive lie, then got snippy and churlish in response to legitimate questioning

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), who publicly advanced claims in the infamous Steele dossier, said Thursday on “CNN’s This Morning” that House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) is pushing out “unsubstantiated allegations.”
Comer has subpoenaed the FBI for records alleging a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden.
Partial transcript as follows:KAITLAN COLLINS: Oversight chair James Comer is now subpoenaing records from the FBI. He has subpoena power, of course. He claims they could show then Vice President Biden receiving bribes allegedly from a foreign national in exchange for policy favors. I should note the White House has strenuously denied this. We’ve got zero evidence. We haven’t seen
Two trend lines extend into the future. One tracks government's increased oppression, surveillance, and social control. The other tracks people's rising spiritual faith, desire for personal freedom, and determination that government should leave them alone. This is our reality. It also exposes the chink in totalitarianism's armor. The greater the government's coercion, the more convinced a growing share of the population becomes that illegitimate government must go.

Black drivers in Florida are nearly three times more likely to be ticketed by police and sheriff’s deputies under a law that allowed law enforcement to cite drivers for loud music starting last year, according to a new analysis of traffic data and court records.
The analysis showed that Black drivers received almost 37% of the tickets, despite Black people making up only about 16% of Florida's driving-eligible population.
Law enforcement cited Black drivers at a rate of just over 11 tickets per 100,000 Black drivers, and cited white drivers at a rate of 3.9 tickets per 100,000 white drivers.

The government says that the hospital will no longer be able to accept Medicare and Medicaid funds as long as the flame remains in the chapel.

New York is the first state in the country to ban natural gas and other fossil fuels in most new buildings – a major win for climate advocates, but a move that could spark pushback from fossil fuel interests. Facing mounting pressure from environmental advocates and climate-minded voters, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Democratic lawmakers, who control the New York Senate and Assembly, approved the new $229 billion state budget containing the provision late Tuesday night. The law bans gas-powered stoves, furnaces and propane heating and effectively encourages the use of climate-friendly appliances such as heat pumps and induction stoves in most
The United States Navy has turned to a drag performer in its efforts to reach younger recruits on digital platforms and social media.

There’s one certainty in politics. If a Democrat is accusing a Republican of doing something, it is the Democrat who is inevitably actually doing it.

Former first lady Michelle Obama this week announced her latest initiative, co-founding PLEZi Nutrition in an attempt to “raise healthier kids.”
“I’m proud to announce the national launch of a company designed not just to provide better products, but to jump-start what I hope will be a race to the top that will transform the entire food industry,” Obama said while delivering a speech at the Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything Festival.
Obama penned the “about” page of the PLEZi website, in which the former first lady claimed to have dedicated “so much” of her life to help children live healthier lives, pointing to her White House “Let’s Move!” initiative.

Well, I should have seen this coming, but I didn’t. Even I underestimate the willingness of the Democrats to use the threat of violence to force compliance with their demands.

Sealing Ron DeSantis Travel Records from
Public Review 22 replies
The easiest way to cut through the pretending nonsense is to ask the obvious question, ‘Why now?‘
The Florida Republican Legislature is changing the Sunshine Laws in Florida to block people from reviewing the travel records of the Florida Governor. [HB1495 Link]
The claimed justification is security, to protect the governor and high-ranking state officials. However, the obvious timing of Ron DeSantis pending run for the White House, in combination with his administration refusing to give details on who/how the funding for his private charter flights have been taking place during the “book tour,” makes the new law much more suspicious as constructed.
