Ron DeSantis is acting to revoke the licenses of these groomer venues. The Drag Queen Christmas appeared in four locations in Florida: the Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale, the Knight Center in Miami, Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, and the Plaza Live in Orlando. What made the Plaza Live special was that it held a liquor license. Under Florida law, performances like Drag Queen Christmas are not legal with kids in attendance. As a result, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation sent a warning letter to the Orlando Philharmonic Plaza Foundation, warning them that if they proceeded with the show and allowed children to attend, they were putting their liquor license in jeopardy. The promoters had two choices; they could a) cancel the performance or b) they could keep kids from attending. Either of those options would mean surrendering to Ron DeSantis, who is Satan himself. So the promoters chose option c) to tell Governor DeSantis to FOAD. And the show went on.More clips of the "Blessing of Liberty," if you can stand them, at RedState. Apparently Gay Groomers believe that there's a special Fabulous Immunity for gays performing sexually for kids. Driving hard to sexualize children isn't selling the "we're normal and nonthreatening" branding like the Pride Mafia thinks it is. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Gov. Ron DeSantis' office said the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation is "revoking" the Orlando Philharmonic Plaza Foundation's liquor license after a "sexual" drag show permitted entry to minors.
++++ Okay, cool story for political points but this isn't the right approach. The liquor license wasn't the problem, it was the people running the business who did it. Revoking the liquor license is like those states that revoke driver licenses from people who don't pay child support. The punishment doesn't fit the crime. It's illegal under Florida law, right? Okay, then. Let them keep their liquor license. Start a civil action against the business and criminal prosecutions against its executives. Make them pay. Personally and as a business, for their violations of the law. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at February 07, 2023 02:11 PM (t0OGg) 24

That Disney stuff: Walt Disney was so popular they even gave him permission to build his own nuclear power plant there in Florida.
EPCOT really was going to be the Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow until Disney's lawyers figured out that if his workforce actually lived and slept there, they quickly would have a real city, and the employees could demand the right to vote and govern themselves. The lawyers told Disney to make sure the workers did not sleep there, and make clear that each of them was a 'character,' not a resident. Posted by: SMOD at February 07, 2023 02:12 PM (RHGPo) 35

Blasphemy is forever.
God didn't get it wrong, you did. Matthew 18:2-6 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

That's the rule shouted loudly by the silence of every single gay and lesbian organization and leaders: They can't and won't condemn this because they support it.

Disney is going to retaining their bonds in Reedy Creek while losing the ability to do...pretty much everything else. That means DeSantis has coved completely! Posted by: TheJamesMadison -------- And Disney will most probably go to court over it but DeSantis and the Fla legislature did complete what he set out to do. Kudos. BTW, I think DeSantis would actually be a more active cultural warrior as president than Trump now that abortion is off the table as a national issue. The major policy differences that I foresee Trump and DeSantis differ over are a) foreign policy and use of military force, b) restraining corporations, and c) use of tariffs and trade barriers to restore US manufacturing versus the service economy. On spending, I am doubtful that either Trump or DeSantis can do much other than restrain growth of it because the House and Senate, even if GOP controlled simply will not go there. Only mechanism politically salable is something where blunt cuts are given to all of the budget--via sequestration, keeping growth of spending under inflation, chipping away at employment, etc. Posted by: whig at February 07, 2023 02:21 PM (V435m) 83

I think it's two things. 1 - there is a Trump cult of personality, and that cult can stand no rivals. 2 - Republicans have been burned so many times that its natural to simply assume DeSantis is too good to be true.
Posted by: Tell It Like It Is at February 07, 2023 02:17 PM (/DXve) I think this is mostly right. On 1 though, I am not so sure there are that many Trump Cultists as much as a lot of people in column 2 who distrust everyone aside from Trump. There is a fine distinction there that I think sometimes gets overlooked.

BTW, I think DeSantis would actually be a more active cultural warrior as president than Trump now that abortion is off the table as a national issue. The major policy differences that I foresee Trump and DeSantis differ over are a) foreign policy and use of military force, b) restraining corporations, and c) use of tariffs and trade barriers to restore US manufacturing versus the service economy. On spending, I am doubtful that either Trump or DeSantis can do much other than restrain growth of it because the House and Senate, even if GOP controlled simply will not go there.
Only mechanism politically salable is something where blunt cuts are given to all of the budget--via sequestration, keeping growth of spending under inflation, chipping away at employment, etc. == shorter whig either way, its just rearranging the deck chairs on the titantic.

I'll say it again:
Support of transgenders is pedophilia. All of its defenders demand children--even as young as 4--not only have the capability but must have the unlimited right to make sexual choices. If a child can choose their gender, then there is no reason they can't also choose to have sex with adults. That's it. Plain and simple: They want to force society to let them have sex with children. It has nothing, nothing at all, to do with gender. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at February 07, 2023 02:23 PM (Rhq4H) 104

Florida is officially a laboratory for fascism in the U.S.! Ron DeSantis is not a "mini-Trump" or some other diminutive. He is much more dangerous. Donald Trump has no "ideology" beyond megalomania and a deep desire to be an American god king. By comparison, DeSantis is far more intelligent and devious; he is an ideological fascist and racial authoritarian. Hard to believe his BS could play outside of red states Watch him pivot just enough to the center if nominated. Maybe we're better off running Biden against Trump!

Posted by: Joe Mannix -------- Joe, Legally, you run into a First Amendment issue regarding obscenity--the people putting on this show will argue it is for educational purposes and some judge will give an injunction most probably either in state court (less likely but I dunno how strong Florida's court has been on its own constitutional right to free speech), or a fed judge. However, selling alcohol has consistently been interpreted by the courts as a privilege and as such can be revoked in instances of nudity and obscenity without needing to prove the underlying charge. This caselaw has been developed over the years with going after strip clubs for promoting prostitution etc. without needing to prove the underlying charge and charge individual actors. Plus as a civil matter, it only requires more likely than not that the charges are true versus reasonable doubt std. Posted by: whig at February 07, 2023 02:28 PM (V435m) 133

I've poked around a bit but haven't found anything, on c), which is not surprising. And wondering where you get your a) and b). And I don't think "culture" warrior is really a very important role, practically, for a president, so roll my eyes at the excitement over that element (not in itself - it's great, but it's classically a governor's wheelhouse, not a president's). Though as far as that goes, a pretty illustrative chapter with Trump was CRT. He moved so quickly and baldly to excise it from federal activities by EO, once he'd heard of it, that I think legal side was worried about not having dotted i's and such. (and it's curious/ironic if Rufo is a D vs. T, given that Rufo's stellar work led to the dramatic and immediate bold action Trump took - wondering why he'd feel need to choose) Posted by: rhomboid at February 07, 2023 02:30 PM (OTzUX) 150

DeSantis won by a fairly big margin, much larger than his squeaker of a win against Gillum. That wasn't done purely on partisan-line votes. There were definitely Democrats voting for him.
He also cleaned up the voter rolls and added some investigation of vote fraud.

Its got mixed, but mostly positive reviews. They are supposedly taking some liberties with the game's story, in order to flesh out a larger tale and fill in content for the length of the season, but having not played the game or watched it, I can only rely on reviewers who say that it fits what the game's themes and characters were like.
*** It's great watching Joel ignore an entire room full of heavy duty weapons and end up taking a bolt action rifle because they have to cram what actually was in the game, which as usual was written by people who don't know s*** about firearms, into the show.

Speaking of The Last of Us, apparently the 3rd episode of the show "based" on the vidya game was essentially Brokeback Mountain during the apocalypse.

The thing is, to me this seems really easy to solve. Every state in the union, and the federal government, have very strong laws regarding sexual content and children.

There have been Drag show for years... They're fine... Just not for kids
I wouldn't call them fine, but I know what you mean. This is the true "blessing of liberty" that French wrote about. Not "fags in drag with kids" but "weirdos who dress up and put on a cabaret show." One of the costs of liberty is letting people do nasty stuff you don't like, but which are not directly destructive to culture.

I've poked around a bit but haven't found anything, on c), which is not surprising. And wondering where you get your a) and b).
And I don't think "culture" warrior is really a very important role, practically, for a president, so roll my eyes at the excitement over that element (not in itself - it's great, but it's classically a governor's wheelhouse, not a president's). Though as far as that goes, a pretty illustrative chapter with Trump was CRT. He moved so quickly and baldly to excise it from federal activities by EO, once he'd heard of it, that I think legal side was worried about not having dotted i's and such. (and it's curious/ironic if Rufo is a D vs. T, given that Rufo's stellar work led to the dramatic and immediate bold action Trump took - wondering why he'd feel need to choose) Posted by: rhomboid ------ It is more a function of who is supporting DeSantis v.

That also at the state level usually involves elected district attorneys instead of the federal system where they work for the President via the AG. So the idea is that the way that the law is applied can vary a bit via juries and elected prosecutors to reflect local concerns.

I love it. DeSantis won by a fairly big margin, much larger than his squeaker of a win against Gillum. That wasn't done purely on partisan-line votes.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, watching some Best Pictures DeSantis also has the advantage of huge numbers of Republicans immigrating to his state.

Yes. It was 19 points.
The polling predicted 12 points. His opponent was Charlie Crist. That's not opposition, that's a tomato can. Crist was a former republican. How exactly was he supposed to generate turn out from the democratic base? Hmm? I mean FFS Crist was as orange as TRUMP. Posted by: It was fixed ___ Crist was a former Governor of Florida and also a former Attorney General, so you can't really put him in the category of "never had a chance", Florida had elected him before statewide by fairly wide margins. DeSantis margin of victory over him is pretty mind blowing, especially considering the Red Wave ended up being a complete misfire everywhere but Florida.

We don't need to talk about that belief. That belief is WRONG. What we need to do is harshly, and I mean really harshly, punish men who wave their hairy dongs in the faces of kids as a political power play. And we need to take those kids away from parents who permit it, and place them in the homes of the many potential adoptive parents who don't view children as sexual playthings or social capital. Have the cops set up their own explicit DQSH, and just arrest and then potentially execute every adult who walks through the fuckin' door.

But yeah, I understand your point and picking a punishment that is likely to hold up. It just chaps my ass that nobody will actually be punished for flagrantly breaking the law, even in Florida.
Posted by: Joe Mannix --------- The community standards argument for obscenity is what Scotus decided in Miller v. California and thus any charges would depend on the local DA and since the venue was being held in a blue area metro areas probably with copious strip bars, risque entertainment such as the nude chorus line on Oh Calcutta or other plays, and so on. So, in such places, community standards would dictate whether the drag show constitutes 'prurient' entertainment that lacks any serious artistic, educational, or political content. I suspect no jury would convict in a blue area and prosecutors, even the apolitical ones, hate to lose cases. So like how drug forfeiture laws work--it is easier to deprive wrongdoers of assets than to convict them of crimes. Same as how many possession cases are actually dealing cases that were plead down as possession is far easier to prove in most courts. Posted by: whig at February 07, 2023 02:51 PM (V435m) 291

I think the reviewers are missing the point. It does not matter if there is a gay romance interlude. Cuckman is still the driver here. He was taken aback by the visceral reaction people developed to the Last of Us 2 when he casually killed Joel and made him a monster to boot. Most of that reaction was driven by the core Ellie-Joel dynamic of the first game. He needs to change that. So he needs that dynamic- and more importantly view of Joel to change. To do that he needs to minimize the source stuff where they are bonding and you see Joel start to become less standoffish and dangerous and move more into the Father-Protector role. THAT is what made every dude and woman go 'Fuck yeah, cap these fucking firefly 'doctors!' They are not taking your baby girl away from you this time, man!' They have to change the perception of Joel in order to make Abbey great and you are happy (or at least understand) when she mercilessly executes him.

I KNOW that Donald got screwed by a stolen election in 2020, but I am pretty bothered about electing a guy that will be 78 at the beginning of his term. He may be fine for four years, but we are really rolling the dice.
Posted by: A face in the crowd ___ You can tell Trump has lost his fast ball, he's just not the same candidate anymore that he was in 2016. Even that election was a squeaker when you really add up the votes, like 100k votes and Hillary would have been President. Had we had Trump say 20 years ago, he would have easily won 2 elections and probably been the new Reagan of the GOP. Posted by: Blago at February 07, 2023 03:03 PM (cOFom) 361

Think broader than China--our electronics, for example, are less reliable because Europe decided all solder should be lead free. But the general solder for cost reasons then becomes mostly tin which has a bad tendency to develop whiskers over use that short out circuits. The US has(d) no such prohibition but in a world wide market---China or any other manufacturer will run lead free solder assembly lines and not a US specific line.
Posted by: whig at February 07, 2023 02:55 PM (V435m) == I am - because this pertains to the EU, the deal the Mexicans, the Canadians, the Japanese and the South Koreans took to get bilateral agreements with us.

Posted by: The ARC of History! at February 07, 2023 03:05 PM (2tUFv) 370
Gets quite complicated as the tenure requirement is regarded as a property right, not a liberty interest so deprivation of property in many states would require individual compensation for abrogating a property interest. Tenure is actually far broader than just universities and includes civil service and teachers in many states.
Easier to do by far is grandfathering with no future hires being granted tenure. Posted by: whig at February 07, 2023 03:01 PM (V435m) ++++ Yeah, I dig it and, truthfully, I would accept that answer.

Stupid? Yes. But there are a lot of irregularities that cost her that election. It was a must win for Democrats because it's key to their 2024 election fraud op.

315 And an important point here, both Trump and Lake, to the extent they had a strategy was to sue when the Dems started stealing their elections.
------- That is actually the way that election laws are written as they presume those running the elections and counting the votes have good faith. To get a pretrial injunction requires knowing what sort of cheat or rigging is going to occur in advance and then go to an amenable trial court in a usually blue metro area with evidence enough to meet the standard of likely to prevail at trial plus that irrevocable harm will occur if the administrators are allowed to do what they do. The irrevocable harm for prelim injunctions std btw gives those same blue metro district judges the ability to reject a pre-election injunction because a) the harm has not occurred yet, and b) in any case, it would not constitute irrevocable harm as a) no candidate has a 'right' to an office and b) any misdeeds can be challenged post election through both administrative and court remedies.

it's the new lefty fashion. Before they start anything, they start off saying they are on land stolen from some Indian tribe or other. No one is suggesting paying anyone for the stolen land, or anything substantive
It is a direct attack on private property rights, by claiming that all land ownership is invalid. The Oregon secretary of state just put out a document saying that water rights in Oregon are invalid, because they were created during a racist period. Therefore, the state can abolish existing water rights, and hand out new water rights to preferred group. (Remember, most of Oregon is arid, and water rights are very valuable.) Pro tip: don't be a Oregon farmer with water rights next to an Indian reservation. Posted by: The ARC of History! at February 07, 2023 03:14 PM (2tUFv) 426

An Obama-appointed federal Hawaiian judge (Mark Walker) has stopped enforcement of the Florida anti-woke act. Florida says professors cannot teach CRT and the teachers scream this is an Orwellian imposition of speech laws. The state responded these are state employees and the the state is merely governing the speech of employees, as every employer (including the state) does every single day. For example, if you go in to renew your drivers license, the employee is not permitted to subject you to a half hour screed on white privilege first.
Judge Walker decided the Anti-Woke Act is the end of civilization. The case is being appealed. Posted by: Huck Foltinlywood at February 07, 2023 03:18 PM (SSdhf) 445
According to a source within CBP, the Biden Administration will begin flying Honduran migrants home pursuant to Title 42. The source says the flights begin this week and could further reduce migrant crossings at the southwestern border.
The plan adds to prior expansion of the Title 42 COVID-19 authority announced in January, which said that Cubans and Nicaraguan migrants were subject to removal. In October, the administration first expanded the program by including Venezuelans. Posted by: SMOD at February 07, 2023 03:18 PM (RHGPo) 446

Okay, cool story for political points but this isn't the right approach. The liquor license wasn't the problem, it was the people running the business who did it. Revoking the liquor license is like those states that revoke driver licenses from people who don't pay child support. The punishment doesn't fit the crime.
It's illegal under Florida law, right? Okay, then. Let them keep their liquor license. Start a civil action against the business and criminal prosecutions against its executives. Make them pay.

410 Harmeet Dhillon could have saved the GOP. She had a specific plan and new operating method.
But that's not what the donors and voting members of the RNC wanted. They want to FAIL. Posted by: Marcus T -------- It is possible that Harmeet is a good manager but we have no track record of that. As a lawyer for the RNC, her track record is not the best but she would have far outshone Ronna as far as public communications which is part of the job. Lindell probably would have been the best managerial wise to bring in fresh blood as both Ronna and Harmeet are insiders. Simply put, like the commission on debates, the RNC is filled with aging GOPe fixtures that want no changes to the status quo of looting the government to support their lifestyles. Good candidates will build their own structures but unfortunately laws give the RNC and its DNC counterpart powers that mere candidates do not have.

He brought in large numbers of people that normally don't vote, or hadn't for the Republican party. I think you underestimate his appeal with many voters.
Posted by: Grimmy ___ And he brought out his opponent's voters in even larger numbers. Again, I think the platform is largely fine and got him in there, but can you really argue against Trump being polarizing? He lucked out that Hillary was even more polarizing.

Actually, I think the Long and/or Short haired Gauls were the original inhabitants- or killed them, whoever they were.
Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at February 07, 2023 03:18 PM (zZu0s) Gauls didn't really go away so much as merge with the Franks, and afaik they don't tend to get identified as special like the Basque who have a pre-Indo-European language. So I'd tend to group them with the Indo-European wave as outsiders, though I'm not expert. Posted by: Red Turban Someguy - The Republic is already dead! at February 07, 2023 03:21 PM (eYoxG) Yeah, the 19th century idea of immutable nations going back to ancient days and casual wiping out of other peoples in migrations is likely nonsense. There's a lot more evidence of group identity being more plastic - you move into area X you might just take up X-ness and be invisible in a few years archaeologically. In other cases a military caste might move to a new area, take over and skim taxes/goods off the same farmers that served the former leaders with some aspects looking like total replacement, and others looking like nothing changed at all.

Posted by: Blago at February 07, 2023 03:27 PM (cOFom) Given the fraud increasing the second election over the first, this is unlikely to be the reason for Trumps loss. Dems have spent generations being content for the GOPe to put up wishy washy non polarizers they can beat with normal levels of fraud. Since polarizing is defined by the MSM, anyone worth electing is polarizing. Posted by: Oldcat at February 07, 2023 03:31 PM (eoQWY) 495

I think that was because Rome did a pretty good job of just... enduring for over a 1000 years. Other empires rose and fell with regularity. Persians, Macedon, Parthia, Sassnids, Carthage, Egypt (although they had a longer run, sort of, they never dominated the stage like Rome.) That is why pretty much everyone has been and still is fascinated by Rome. They put together a run that has never been paralleled.

I told them they better have more then bows and arrows. Posted by: Marcus T Do the Leno Lenape have enormous chins ? Posted by: JT at February 07, 2023 03:44 PM (T4tVD) 501
Remember when Chyna forced one of our planes to land? And when we demand that they return it, they sent back completely disassembled.
