Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) office is pushing back after members of the establishment media, particularly in Florida, accused the governor of hypocrisy by asserting he is not using his anti-riot law to halt peaceful demonstrations in the state.
"As many as two of every five Americans who've died from COVID-19 were suffering from diabetes, making the chronic disease one of the highest-risk conditions during the pandemic, an expert says. About 40% of deaths from COVID-19 in the United States were among diabetics, a "really quite sobering" statistic that should prompt people with the ailment to get vaccinated, said Dr. Robert Gabbay, chief scientific and medical officer for the American Diabetes Association...Read all.

Forget about Booting Biden - American Thinker "As the forensic audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, winds down, expectations are rising that the defects of the 2020 election will finally be addressed.
...Fixing the 2020 election requires going after the people who put Biden in office. ...To understand why, let's start with the Maricopa audit.
It can't prove fraud.
All it can do is show if the county conducted the election according to legal minimum standards.
Given the long list of Election Day "anomalies" and "irregularities," it's an easy bet that the audit will show that Maricopa Country failed to meet those standards. A failed audit is where the fun begins.
The Arizona state Legislature will have to conduct multiple investigations.
One to decide if negligence or fraud caused the failure.
A second investigation to decide how to prevent future failures.
Finally, if fraud is proven, multiple criminal investigations, arrests, and trials will have to take place...Read all.
"This is strange," D'Souza said, "because think about it, there have been a number of police shootings over the last couple of years. Can you think of a single case where the identity of the officer has been systematically concealed by the media? There's no such case. So in this one case, they are preventing people from knowing what I just told you. Why?" he pressed further.

Texas Democrats ran away this week instead of passing a commonsense voter integrity bill. If you don't know the lies being told about the bill, allow Joe Biden to clue you in. The Texas bill, like ANY voting law, is the "biggest threat to our democracy" since the Civil War. But that was just Democrats in the state House of Representatives, who will be arrested upon returning to the Lone Star State. The Texas Senate? They grabbed some BBQ, threw back a few Shiners, put on Josh Abbott Band's "Front Row Seat," and passed the bill anyway.
Make no mistake — thousands of Cubans took to the streets on Sunday in at least 14 cities, in a police-controlled country that surveils and jails dissidents — to protest communism, not just the country’s abysmal COVID-19 response.
Cubans must stand in hours-long lines to buy simple necessities such as bread. They experience rolling blackouts as the country’s electric grid is overrun, suffering for hours in the scorching summer months, where it can be unbearable to live without a fan or air conditioner.
Matt Walsh "Can we just take a minute and laugh together about this?
BLM attacked Boston Pride, a gay activist group that's been around for 50 years, claiming that they're too white.
Boston Pride responded by apologizing and disbanding its entire organization in shame.
Just fantastic stuff.
BLM just comes in and nukes its own allies for no discernible reason at all, and everyone on the Left is powerless to stop them or even voice an objection."
Penn president set for high-profile ambassador gig after paying Biden $900K for vaguely defined professor post | The College Fix "The president of the University of Pennsylvania is poised to become U.S. Ambassador to Germany after paying then-Vice President Joe Biden $900,000 for a job at the Ivy League school that required no regular classes and up to 12 appearances on campus. Penn President Amy Gutmann will likely be announced as Biden’s pick for the prime ambassadorship, raising questions about whether the slot is payback for the lucrative position Biden held at Penn after leaving the vice president’s office in 2017, according to news reports. ...Biden collected $371,159 in 2017 and $540,484 in 2018 and early 2019 for a job with largely undefined duties.
The agreement also required around a dozen appearances on campus, most of which were attended by wealthy donors paying top-dollar for tickets...Read all.

“There is a home for you in the United States….” (but not in Delaware as that state doesn’t take refugees!) (Joe Biden)
The Biden Administration is getting ready to airlift tens of thousands more out of Afghanistan by the end of July.
Nevermind that in the last eight years or so we admitted about 70,000 Afghan so-called interpreters and their families to the US! How many more could there possibly be?
...The evacuation effort, dubbed Operation Allies Refuge, will relocate Afghans who have applied for a U.S. Special Immigrant Visa and their families to a safe third country, but it is still unclear how many of these translators, guides and other contractors will be moved and to exactly where.
Yes! Muslim countries are a better choice. Keep them in their religious and cultural comfort zones!
*** For new readers, these are the nine federal refugee contractors which will be placing Joe’s 125,000 new refugees (not including border-jumping illegal aliens) beginning October 1, in addition to however many thousands more Afghans are flown into America—all on your dime!...Read all!

"These days the freaks are roaming public parks, molesting innocent children, and calling themselves “women.”
Exhibit A is “Ruby Eby,” 33, who Toronto Police say molested a six-year-old boy in a city park. Eby has been charged with sexual interference with a person under the age of 16 and sexual assault.
...In the police press release, we learn that “She is next scheduled to appear in court, at 1000 Finch Avenue West, on Wednesday, July 21, 2021, at 2 p.m., in room 301.”
Let’s take a moment to zoom in on “her” mug shot, shall we?
(Ruby Eby mug shot via Toronto Police Service)
Well, that’s odd. “Ruby” seems to have an unusual amount of facial hair for a woman, doesn’t “she”?
...Constable Laura Brabant, a media relations officer for the TPS, was kind enough to take a stab at this pesky question. “As per the press release, the pronoun used is She, Ruby identifies as a woman,” she wrote in an email.
Huh. That’s about as clear as mud, isn’t it? I tried again...Read all.
BIDEN’S DISHONEST DEFENSE OF HIS AFGHANISTAN PULLOUT "...For his part, Biden declared “I will not send another generation of Americans to war in Afghanistan with no reasonable expectation of achieving a different outcome.” The dishonesty of this defense is breathtaking.
Only four were killed in action. Thus, there is no question of “sending another generation of Americans to war in Afghanistan.”
Nor would maintaining our 2020 force level there put “thousands of Americans,” much less “daughters,” at meaningful risk. ...Certainly, the Taliban hasn’t been defeated.
However, it had been thwarted in its effort to take over the country.
Many millions of Afghans, especially women, enjoy freedom from the unspeakable Islamist oppression that prevailed before we intervened.
Folks who courageously sided with the U.S. against the Taliban are (or were) largely safe from reprisals. Moreover, as far as we know, none of the terrorist organizations operating in Afghanistan — the Taliban, al Qaeda, ISIS, and whomever else — has been able to export terrorism from there to the West....Read all.
