-Great Cultural Revolution
DeSantis Blueprint for Florida - and maybe America
[Daily Mail] Ron DeSantis' legislative milestones over the last four years - and his agenda for the next term as Florida governor - are a sign of what could become an 'anti-woke' blueprint for America.

The GOP's rising star began laying out his ideals for his second term in early January — continuing to fuel speculation that he's setting out his campaign priorities for a potential future presidential run.

Governor Ron DeSantis' inauguration speech was largely viewed as a trial run outlining a potential 2024 presidential run. Here are some of DeSantis' main focuses: 

FAMILY FIRST 

'Florida must always be a great place to raise a family — we will enact more family-friendly policies to make it easier to raise children and we will defend our children against those who seek to rob them of their innocence.'

EDUCATION

'We must ensure school systems are responsive to parents and to students, not partisan interest groups, and we must ensure that our institutions of higher learning are focused on academic excellence and the pursuit of truth, not the imposition of trendy ideology.'

 BACK THE BLUE

'We will always remain a law-and-order state, we will always support law enforcement, and we will always reject soft-on-crime policies that put our communities at risk.'

'[Federal government] have harmed public safety by coddling criminals and attacking law enforcement.'

ANTI-COVID RESTRICTIONS

'They have imposed medical authoritarianism in the guise of pandemic mandates and restrictions that lack a scientific basis. This bizarre, but prevalent, ideology that permeates these policy measures purports to act in the name of justice for the marginalized, but it frowns upon American institutions, it rejects merit and achievement, and it advocates identity essentialism. We reject this woke ideology. We seek normalcy, not philosophical lunacy! We will not allow reality, facts, and truth to become optional.'

POWER TO THE STATES

'Florida's success has been made more difficult by the floundering federal establishment in Washington, D.C. The federal government has gone on an inflationary spending binge that has left our nation weaker and our citizens poorer, it has enacted pandemic restrictions and mandates — based more on ideology and politics than on sound science — and this has eroded freedom and stunted commerce.'

#1  I'm really enjoying the "nobody but Trump" droolers screeching that DeSantis is deeper deep state than anyone inside the beltway today.

Those whom the gods destroy, they first make mad.

#2  Mainstream media will paint DeSantis orange. They will demonize him every bit as badly as they did Trump. Anyone who supports him will be called either a racist or a Nazi or both. They are every bit as afraid of DsSantis as they are the Orange Man and they will act accordingly.

Surge in liberal men getting vasectomies
The future belongs to those who have descendants.
[HotAir] We love tracking social trends around here and an interesting one has shown up among liberal American men over the past year or so. In the wake of the Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health and the subsequent restrictions on child sacrifice abortions enacted in some states, younger American men have been getting vasectomies in record numbers. Life News reported last week that medical professionals are citing an increase of between 100 and 200 percent in the number of vasectomies being performed around the nation. Many patients proudly describe their decision as a show of solidarity with pro-child sacrifice abortion women.

Liberal men are getting vasectomies in record numbers to protest child sacrifice abortion bans across the country in the wake of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Andf that likely means fewer child sacrifice abortions.

Reports of increased numbers of vasectomies have been coming in over the last six months following the summer ruling from the Supreme Court. In fact reports began surfacing after Texas became the first state to successfully ban child sacrifice abortions in late 2021 — with some reports indicating an increase of 15% in the number of men seeking vasectomies.

After that, NPR indicated those numbers are shooting up nationwide. And thankfully the men getting vasectomies are the ones who would be perfectly fine with having their own child killed in an child sacrifice abortion.

One clinic in Des Moines, Iowa reported signing up the same number of new vasectomy patients in 48 hours that they normally see in a month. Others reported similar figures. The largest increase came among men in their mid to late 30s, with a slightly smaller increase among men in their 20s.

Oddly, many men are choosing to go to Planned Parenthood
...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party...
for a vasectomy, rather than a surgeon who specializes in the procedure. I wouldn’t have even guessed that they offered such procedures, but apparently they do and they’re keeping quite busy.

"Since the Dobbs decision, we have seen an increasing number of male-bodied people coming and requesting this service [vasectomies]," Dr. Margaret Baum of Planned Parenthood said. "We performed 142 vasectomies in 2021. Already this year, we’ve done close to 200 in 2022."

I won’t try to discourage anyone who isn’t ready to have children or doesn’t want any from getting a vasectomy. It’s an almost bulletproof way to prevent unwanted pregnancies. But the young men making this decision should be aware that vasectomies can be technically reversible, depending on the type of procedure you receive. But that procedure will often fail to restore your ability to father children. (If that’s the case, was it really "reversed?") And even if you can get it reversed, the surgery required to do so is far more serious than the original snipping that takes place.

#3  Hence the push for gays and trannies. They don't want our children reproducing. They can't reproduce themselves so they have to brainwash our kids in public schools if they're going to continue.

Daily Wire's Jeremy Boreing responds to Steven Crowder

#1  Good video. Thanks for posting. I was 100% on Steven's side when I went into it. However, Jeremy does an excellent job of making the initial DW offer sound fairly good. Still, I understand why Steven got upset by some of the language regarding social media censorship. That sounded disgraceful in Steven's video, but now I believe Jeremy's reasons for including it in the offer are reasonable and necessary.

Keeping Nukes on the Table

With the North Koreans "keeping nukes on the table," the conversation has now turned into what other countries should build out nuclear options. There are two boxes a country should be able to check before going nuclear: do they have the technical capacity to do so and is there a strong enough strategic reason to have them?

#1  Gaddafy Duck gave up his program. See how he ended up. The Ukraine gave up its nukes. See how that ended up. No one is going to give them up if they have them and those who could will get them.

I think it would be wise of the Chinese and North Koreans to make the same assumption.

#6  The Conspiracy Theory™ as old as the 80's is that Israel, South Africa, Taiwan and Japan do NOT have 'functioning' nuclear weapons in their arsenals. They would components that can be assembled, très surprise!, into a nuclear 'device' (AKA weapon). Plausible denialability and also allows the possessors to tinker with what is a singular craftwork.
