Good. Republicans in other states should follow suit. You want to shut a lot of this down? Shut off the money. Politico reports: Florida Republicans target scholarships, grants for students supporting Hamas. Florida college students who “promote” Hamas and other designated terrorist organizations could have their scholarships, grants and other benefits yanked from them under a new bill proposed Wednesday by Republican lawmakers.[Snip]Further, colleges and universities under the legislation would be required to report students who promote any terrorist organizations to the Student and Exchange Visitor Program of the United States Department of Homeland Security.
Today a Helsinki appeals court acquitted two Christians of “hate crimes” charges with potential prison sentences for tweeting Bible verses and publishing a Christian booklet about sexual ethics. This unprecedented application of Finnish law has kept Member of Parliament Paivi Rasanen and Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola in court for nearly five years. Despite today’s unanimous ruling [Snip] The state prosecutor told media she will appeal to Finland’s Supreme Court, and the court is likely to take the case[Snip]An adverse ruling could effectively outlaw Christianity in Finland and damage the fundamental human rights to free speech and religious exercise across the world.
An appeals court in Finland has dismissed bogus “hate speech” charges against pro-life Finnish lawmaker Päivi Räsänen in a massive victory for free speech and religious freedom. Christian Democratic MP Päivi Räsänen criticized the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, of which she belongs, for participating in a LGBT pride event in Helsinki.[Snip]The Helsinki Police Department received complaints about the post and decided to investigate Räsänen for an alleged “hate crime.” The government’s agenda-driven investigation found two other instances for the rogue prosecutor to charge Räsänen, including a two-minute segment on a 2019 radio show and a pamphlet she authored, and her church published,

Lincoln Method 24 replies
With Tuesday’s relatively easy passage of an Ohio constitutional amendment that effectively bars that state’s legislature from regulating abortion in the state, abortion advocates are now convinced that they not only have the public on their side but have found political gold. They now view abortion as such a winning issue that they think it can pave the way to enacting a wide range of other leftist goals. They are largely mistaken, as abortion mercifully remains a highly contentious issue in America. Still, abortion advocates will continue to prevail until pro-life leaders and politicians learn the political lessons that have arisen

As the pro-life movement assesses the damage caused by the codifying of unrestricted abortion into the state of Ohio’s constitution on Tuesday, perhaps the worst outcome is not even the sure compounding of abuse of women and the carnage of preborn children to come, but rather the spiritual harm this has done to the souls of the reported 2.1 million individuals who ratified this “demonic” amendment.[Snip]Most fundamental to these is the inherent human right to life, which proceeds from the very nature of every human being.
To mark Veterans Day, six national security analysts at The Heritage Foundation who served in the military released a statement Thursday supporting Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s stand against the Pentagon’s abortion policy. President Joe Biden “is the one playing politics with the military,” longtime Heritage national security expert James Jay Carafano, who signed the statement, told The Daily Signal. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s news outlet.) [Snip] Tuberville and other conservatives argue that the Pentagon’s policy is illegal under the Hyde Amendment, a congressional measure that forbids the use of taxpayer dollars to provide abortions.

COLUMBUS - Four Ohio Republican state lawmakers are seeking to strip judges of their power to interpret an abortion rights amendment after voters opted to enshrine those rights in the state’s constitution this week. Republican state Reps. Jennifer Gross, Bill Dean, Melanie Miller and Beth Lear said in a news release Thursday that they’ll push to have the Legislature, not the courts, make any decisions about the amendment passed Tuesday. “To prevent mischief by pro-abortion courts with Issue 1, Ohio legislators will consider removing jurisdiction from the judiciary over this ambiguous ballot initiative,” said the mix of fairly new and veteran lawmakers
A new report on the aftermath of the Issue 1 vote in Ohio finds that radical abortion activists spent almost $67 million buying the vote. The incredible level of spending, with significant amounts of dark money coming into Ohio from out of state and out of the country, raises questions about whether the Issue 1 vote accurately depicts the will of Ohio voters or merely reflects an inordinate amount of leftist spending to buy votes. [Snip] Meanwhile, Ohio exit polling shows that one third of those who voted for Issue 1 don’t support abortions up to birth and voted for the measure to preserve

COLUMBUS, OH - A top jurist and former elections chief in Ohio has sued two state officials over a recently passed law that requires certain judicial candidates to declare their party affiliation on ballots. Ohio Supreme Court Justice Jennifer Brunner argues in the lawsuit filed Tuesday that the 2021 law violates the free speech, due process and equal protection clauses of the U.S. Constitution because it subjects candidates like her to different rules for fundraising and campaigning than their potential nonjudicial rivals.[Snip]The legal challenge was filed against Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost in their roles
After Ohio voters on Tuesday approved a constitutional amendment protecting the right to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care, advocates on both sides of the issue are looking at how they can get support on 2024 ballots in at least a dozen states. Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that had protected abortion rights nationally, voters in all seven states that held a statewide vote have backed access. That includes Ohio, where voters Tuesday enshrined abortion access in the state constitution.
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) says his state’s vote Tuesday to enshrine abortion rights “was a gut punch” for anti-abortion officials such as himself. [Snip] “We have to recognize how much voters mistrust us (meaning elected Republicans) on this issue,” he added. [Snip] We need people to see us as the pro-life party, not just the anti-abortion party.” [Snip] Vance, in his post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, wrote that giving up on the issue “is not an option.” “Instead, we need to understand why we lost this battle so we can win the war,” he wrote.

Former President Trump told his supporters earlier this year he would be their “retribution” if reelected. He told supporters last week he would direct the Justice Department (DOJ) to investigate “every Marxist prosecutor in America.” And Trump over the weekend vowed to “root out … the radical-left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.” Trump’s own words have made increasingly clear how fixated he is on revenge and targeting his perceived enemies if he wins a second term in the White House next November.
Special Counsel Robert Hur, who is investigating President Joe Biden for mishandling documents, is not expected to charge anyone, sources familiar with the matter told CNN and the Wall Street Journal.
The report suggests a double standard of justice. While there will reportedly be no consequences for Biden, Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted former President Donald Trump in June for mishandling classified documents.Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Hur in January to investigate Biden after classified documents from his time as vice president in Barack Obama’s administration were found in his possession at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, DC, and at his Wilmington, Delaware, home.

A vile letter written by the warlord behind the 9/11 atrocities has gone viral on TikTok with users saying that reading it has led to them 'understanding' as to why the horrific attacks were carried out in 2001.
Osama bin Laden, who founded terror group Al-Qaeda with the aim of waging holy war on the western world, wrote a 'Letter to America' in 2002 to defend the motivation behind his murderous attack on mainland America that killed thousands of innocent people.
In the viral letter, bin Laden regularly spews anti-American, anti-Semitic and anti-Western viewpoints,

May Just Break All the Arrogance and Ignorance Meters 14 replies
We've seen actress Alyssa Milano say some pretty ignorant things over the years. What many find particularly annoying is that the ignorance is coupled with leftist preachiness, assuming her point is the only valid one. We've had fun with some of her virtue-signaling fits in the past, including her attacks on X owner Elon Musk.

But she may just be trying for the most ignorant crown when it comes to the Israeli-Hamas war.
She posted about the massive pro-Israel rally earlier in the week that had almost 300,000 people out in Washington, D.C.
Target has appeared to double down on its acceptance of radical gender theory despite a second straight negative sales report following backlash to its Pride-themed products earlier this year.
Target reportedly selected a man named Erik Thompson as its Senior LGBTQIA+ Segmentation Strategist and Pride Lead, according to a post he shared on Instagram that was flagged by popular X account Libs of TikTok. Thompson, who goes by “gaycruella” on the social media platform, shared with followers that he was “honored” to accept the role.

The chairman of the House Ethics Committee will move to expel Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., from Congress after the release of a damning report into the embattled Long Island Republican. "Chairman Guest feels that the evidence uncovered in the Committee’s investigation is more than sufficient to warrant punishment, and that the most appropriate punishment is expulsion," Republican Mississippi Rep. Michael Guest's personal office told Fox News Digital on Thursday.
"So, separate from the Committee process and his role as Chairman, he plans to file an expulsion resolution during tomorrow’s 9:00 am pro forma session."

President Joe Biden gave one of his strongest hints yet that Governor Gavin Newsom could one day take his job as he took the stage with Gwen Stefani at the star-studded APEC summit kick-off party.
After spending four hours in talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the 80-year-old relaxed as he spoke at a reception in San Francisco, and lavished praise on the Democrat who has sparked furious speculation of a 2024 run.
Newsom has insisted he won't take on Biden in this White House race despite the president's dire polls, but there is every indication he will throw his hat into the ring for 2028.
Sixty years after Edith Piaf’s death, AI is enabling the iconic French singer to narrate a film about her life.
“AI technology trained on hundreds of voice clips and images, some of which are over 80 years old, will allow for Piaf’s distinct voice and image to be revived to further enhance the authenticity and emotional impact of her story,” Warner Music Group said in a statement on Tuesday.
Warner Music is partnering with Piaf’s estate for Edith, which unfolds on the streets of Paris and New York and will feature original recordings of her signature songs, including “La vie en rose” (Life in pink) and
Pro Tip For Joe Scarborough: When seeking to praise Joe Biden, under absolutely no circumstances make mention of the "brain."
On today's Morning Joe, Biden fanboy Joe Scarborough, waxing ecstatic over Biden's meeting yesterday with Xi, asserting the value of Biden's foreign-policy experience, Scarborough made perhaps the most unfortunate analogy possible, comparing Biden to a "brain surgeon."
"I'm so sick and tired of people talking about, oh, we want an outsider to, to run the most important country in the world ...If I'm getting brain surgery, I don't want a guy who's good in action movies. I want a guy who's the best brain surgeon

Our real lives have become Black Mirror episodes. (Snip)
I’ve never seen anything like this in my life, and neither have you. In fewer than 48 hours, TikTok has convinced tens of thousands of Americans to take the side of the man most responsible for 9/11.
Think about that. The Chinese Communists have created a weapon that compels Americans to cheer for 9/11, the same as people throughout the Arab world did at the time.
They are endorsing it because in the epistle, the leader of al Qaeda condemns the Jews and tells Americans he committed terror against them in part because of America’s support of Israel.
They Razed Paradise And Put Up A Solar Farm

We’ve been told with clockwork regularity that in order to prevent a baked planet, we have to generate our electricity through renewable sources, primarily wind and solar. Set aside for now the legitimate questions about the reliability and cost of both and consider this: Do we even have enough room for the equipment necessary to produce enough power to meet the demand?
Both wind and solar power are voracious land hogs. Wind or solar can need 90 to 100 times more acreage than a natural gas plant to generate the same amount of electricity. And let’s not forget the large swaths
The Disney Grooming Syndicate’s The Marvels posted the worst first Monday box office in the doomed Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) history.
After breaking the record for the worst opening weekend in the history of the 15-year-old MCU, The Marvels earned just $2.4 million on Monday. For context, The Eternals (also bombed) earned just $4.2 million on its first Monday, but that’s much more than The Marvels’ $2.4 million.
Weaker titles in the MCU, such as The Incredible Hulk (2008), Ant-Man (2015), and this year’s Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantunobodycares had first Mondays of $6 million, $6.4 million, and $14.2 million respectively.
