IMO, that's a bad move by DeSantis/FL. Abortion is a huge issue across the spectrum of politics and holding to, imo, an unreasonable prohibition energizes the Left. I lean Right on this issue, but I'm fine with the current 15 week allowance unless baby's viability, mother's health at risk, rape/incest. 6 weeks is too restrictive and will cost Republicans votes. We need to control more states in order to control Congress. Being reactionary on this one issue will cost the R's some seats that they/we can't afford to lose. God help the US if Biden/Newsome/socialist to be named later wins the WH and controls both Houses. The US is done for if that happens. Thus, we need to hold to principles, yes, but also be practical that we can't get every single thing we want on every issue. The vast majority of the US population supports some time frame for unrestricted choice. Almost the entire population is against unlimited abortion up to 40 weeks. R's have to bend a little on this issue or risk forever becoming irrelevant.
15 weeks is a "European" model we should embrace in order to take the issue down a notch. Allows us to paint them as the crazies. Europe and the GOP agree on 15 weeks.

Otherwise, if you support 6 weeks or no exceptions you are inviting 4 more years of Biden presidency. Who are the anti-Trump RINOs in that equation?
 
How's that as you offer no rationale? Just an article of faith for MAGA?

And if that's the case, why do Pubs keep putting up candidates Trump supports vs. those with the best chance of being elected?

Edit: abortions = lives lost.
How about the entire history of socialism and one party rule throughout the world? Totalitarianism, which is what could happen if the Far Left have all the instruments of government power if history is any indicator, is a killing machine throughout history. BTW, it's happening in other countries today.
 
Another not surprising story, a 6 foot guy/pervert playing against girls...hurting his opponents and watching them in the locker room. He hurt 3 girls in a basketball game on Feb 8th, team forfeited so not to lose more players.



From the article:

A transgender school athlete who was filmed knocking down a rival player played five other female sports and was allegedly suspended from a rowing team for leering at a girl's bare breasts in the changing rooms.

The 6-foot tall student at KIPP Academy in Lynn, Massachusetts, injured three opponents during a girls' basketball game on February 8. Video from the incident quickly went viral.
Collegiate Charter School of Lowell forfeited the game to avoid losing any more players ahead of the playoffs, and KIPP withdrew from its next game after backlash.


The same transgender student, who is aged 17 or 18, not only competed in girls' basketball, but in rowing, volleyball, hurdles, shot put and tae kwon do, according to a report from Australian magazine Quillette.

Before video of the game drew national outrage, the student - sporting a stubbled beard - was featured in a volleyball promotion for an All-Star game on November 9.

83181187-0-The_transgender_student_was_named_a_Commonwealth_Atlantic_Confer-a-7_1712138125646.jpg



The student competed for a private rowing club in Massachusetts in 2021-22, before an alleged 'direct case of harassment' in her team's changing rooms.

The March 20 report to the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee by Republican Senator Bill Cassidy used male pronouns for the student.

'The male athlete was caught staring openly at one of the female athletes while she changed her clothes in the women’s locker room and remarked, "oooh t*tties!"' it read.

'When a female athlete nearby asked if it was the first time he had seen female breasts, the male responded, "uhh yeah" with a laugh. The male athlete was suspended for this incident.'


The report also claimed she 'caused many issues for the female athletes' on the team and they avoided using the locker room because of her.

The US Center for SafeSport intervened after the incident and the transgender athlete never rowed for the male or female teams again.

A letter to USRowing from 15 parents of the club's 40 female competitors in further claimed the girls were 'intimidated' into silence.

'Our daughters have stayed quiet because they are afraid. We tried to speak up for them, and we were shut down,' the letter read.

'We tried to speak to leadership at all levels. [But] name-calling and the threat of mental health is being used as emotional blackmail to keep us all quiet while women are harmed and devalued.'

Parents said one girl on every trip had to 'take one for the team' and share a room with their transgender teammate.

'The rowing team also required the male athlete to room with them on trips. The girls spoke to us about quitting rowing because of the intimidation of being forced to be in a hotel room alone with a male,' it read.

I now see where you're coming from. So then why support Trump-backed candidates over the ones with the best chance to win? Seems whomever Trump endorses should cause one to look elsewhere.

Yea, let's be just like Europe. Thought only Libs wanted that. Guess I was wrong.

No one says you need to support 6 weeks. But you should support whatever individual states decide because they are exercising the states' right that Dobbs v. Jackson allowed. If not, then you're trashing that decision & just care that your side wins elections & to hell with babies.

The left and their media are successful in nationalizing this topic. Gaslightimg all women to believe that if you cannot get an abortion in Alabama, that women in California believe they are affected. So in order to win elections we need to save Alabama from ultimately losing the Presidential elections. If dems want to abort themselves why stop them?

Because they're human lives, DA. You don't believe in states rights, just your side winning. Sick sh!t.
 
Desantis signed and rallied for the 6 week abortion ban, then he “ argued” for the state Supreme Court to overturn it?

A State court where he appointed 5 of the 7 judges. Not only did they not overturn the law, they put it on the November ballot.

In other news, after several uneventful election nights in Miami since 2018, a dollar to a donut says they’ll be issues this year.
 
Than Hillary Clinton, wife of Bill Clinton, and Joseph Robinette Biden Jr, Obama's VP, two of the biggest fixtures of neoliberalism over decades? Are you insane? Do you understand any political theory? Know anything about the American political spectrum and modern geopolitics in general? Probably not, I don't know why I assume, it's only the political thread for crying out loud.

And, as a reminder, Dems LOST THEIR MINDS when Trump wanted to refill the SR... at $30bbl.

Dems cannot be allowed to have an opinion on any economic issues... they're simply too stupid.

One merely has to read the bleatings of our Village Idiot to realize the entirety of their economic platform is based in idiocy.

'The bars are full in Lexington after a uk football game, the economy is doing GREAT! RIDEN WITH BIDEN!'

So, a deep moral conviction that the sanctity of life should be protected from conception is negotiable if it helps win elections . . . insincerity duly noted.

From the article:

Gustavo Flores-Hernandez, a 31-year-old originally from Honduras, is believed to have been holding on to over 124,000 pills of the lethal substance.

According to the Department of Justice, Flores-Hernandez allegedly sold the fentanyl to people across the Salt Lake City area. On March 21, detectives with the Utah County Major Crimes Task Force executed a search warrant at his apartment and discovered 124,044 blue pills weighing a combined 12,404 grams. A field test confirmed that they were fentanyl.

According to KSL, court documents revealed that Flores-Hernandez "was interviewed and admitted to detectives that he distributes fentanyl throughout the Salt Lake Valley and that he sends approximately $8,000 per month back to Honduras."
 

When you've got the Biden regime sending the KGB I mean the FBI to harass parents that speak out at school board meetings & that attempted to start something called The Disinformation Department to censor what gets posted on the internet & that tries to imprison their political opponents. How could anyone be a bigger threat to democracy than that. This is right out of the Putin/Russia playbook.

Look at the midterms. There’s a reason democrats dumped millions of dollars of dark money in the R primary to support the trump candidate. It’s who they wanted to face…and it worked. Remember it was supposed to be a Red Wave…almost all trump candidates lost but regular R’s won. His base has got to figure out at some point appealing to the broadest coalition is how you win…not just muh base. NY for instance gained 6 seats, Georgia, Kemp won walking away against media darling Stacy Abraham’s, yet down ballot Herschel walker lost bc those same voters left the ballot blank. There was a district that was an incumbent R and at +20. Trump called him a loser, they put an maga man in, and his candidate got beat in a landslide. So would you rather have a regular R or a democrat? The D in Arizona didn’t even campaign against Keri Lake, yet all polling showed the voters didn’t want a democrat.

Same thing that they did with him in 2016 to boost him and didn’t work and same thing they are doing with him now, for instance they’d rather face him than desantis, bc they know they can’t beat Ron bc he’ll pull independent and disaffected moderate Ds. It’s not going to matter for them now tho either on a presidential race.
 
Those who see racism in everything are the real racist because, that is all they are thinking about. They are trying so hard to show others that they are not racist, that their true hateful bigoted nature shines through. They see color where the rest of us see people for who they are... people.
I've been saying this for years. That those (demoncrats) that see skin color in every decision that they make are your true racists. They're like the episode of All In The Family when the 2 black guys broke into Archie's home & Archie started his bigoted talk, the 2 black guys called Archie a bigot. To which Archie reply.... Hold on here, I ain't no bigot. I'm the first to say, that it's not your fault that you're colored.......They (demoncrats) are racists & they're too stupid to know it.
 

I think many saw this trend coming. Colleges are in big BIG trouble over the next few years. Already some of the weaker standing colleges are starting to go under. St. Rose by me is closing its doors (Jimmy Fallon is a famous alum there).

It's long overdue. Not a lot of positive news lately.. but colleges getting knee-capped, and young adults no longer getting robbed from these universities filled with hundreds and hundreds of useless administration positions, is nothing but positive IMO.
 


From the article:

The federal government awarded a Chicago health clinic nearly half a million dollars for a "healing circle diabetes program" that will treat the disease "through practice of communal songs, prayer, music, and dance," grant records show.

The Department of Health and Human Services allocated more than $422,000 in federal funds for the American Indian Health Service of Chicago to launch the program, which also aims to undo "the damage of colonialism" on the "traumatized mind, body, and soul of [the Native American] population." The grant description claims that the healing potential Native "ceremonies … is unknown to western medicine."

The grant is the latest instance of the Biden administration's embrace of "indigenous knowledge," a form of pseudoscience that posits American Indians are imbued with secret knowledge about the working of the universe. Biden said at a tribal summit in 2022 that "respect for Indigenous knowledge and Tribal consultations [will be] a key part of the federal agency decision-making."
 
I think most voters who vote in a primary are capable of making their own choices. Trumps opinion more often just VALIDATES the choice we would have made anyway. Don't overthink it.
It's not overthinking it when primary candidates' polling & vote % rise dramatically after his endorsement. Net, you give some voters too much credit. Some don't have to be most to sway the primary outcomes, particularly with typical low turnouts.
