Go Get ‘Em, Gov!

LIVE: Governor Ron DeSantis Swearing-in Ceremony - 1/3/2023 - YouTube

Ready to rock ‘n’ roll!

We do need more of this. So much more!

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has demanded full financial reports from the state’s universities and colleges to find out exactly how much money they’ve spent on “diversity, equity, and inclusion and Critical Race Theory,” (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/01/05/florida-demanding-every-state-university-system-provide-report-expenditures-related-diversity/).

“We reject this Woke ideology,” he said, adding that Florida will be “the place where Woke goes to die.” He has ordered the state’s Dept. of Education to provide all the figures.

Gee! Ya mean it ain’t fair to suck money out of the public, money that they worked for, and use it to fund a bunch of academic pinheads who despise them and want to tear down their way of life?

The people of Florida, the governor said, have a right to “freedom from having oppressive ideologies” forced “upon you without your consent.”

(Why can’t my state have a governor like that!)

Gov. DeSantis understands that there’s no room on this continent for both America and Woke. Let’s back him up.

Court Rules ‘MAGA Hat’ Is Free Speech

MAGA hats: Trump campaign swag or symbols of hate?

Just a little bit of good news–

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (of all people!) has ruled that a public school teacher in Vancouver, Washington, can wear his MAGA hat to a teacher training session because he has a Constitutional right to exercise free speech (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/12/u-s-court-appeals-rule-maga-hat-free-speech/).

Huh? Well, yeah–it is free speech. (Ya mean it isn’t?)

Yeahbut, yeahbut! We can’t have that! The principal called him “a racist” and “a homophobe” for wearing the hat and said it made the other teachers “feel unsafe.” Again, if you’re that big a doofus, you just have to wind up working in the, um, “education” industry.

The school principal threatened the teacher with “disciplinary action,” whatever that was going to be, won the first round in court, and then got smacked down by the 9th Circuit.

If you “feel unsafe” because someone wears a MAGA hat, you are an idiot.

And so you can wear your MAGA hat… but what’s really needed is to liberate America’s children from the Far Left crazies cranked out by our Far Left teachers’ colleges. Public education is too far gone to be repaired. It must be abandoned: it’s a threat to the future of our country.

‘Liberalism: Dangerously Silly’ (2018)

Pray the election wipes the smiles off their faces.

Imaginary solutions to imaginary problems–that’s liberalism in a nutshell.

Liberalism: Dangerously Silly

In a couple of weeks Americans will have a chance to root a lot of silly and wicked people out of Congress. We are running out of chances to do this.

They’re betting “vote-by-mail” can pull them through, when no one in his right mind would ever vote for any of their public policies. They will cheat again. They worship power, crave it, live for it, and will do anything, absolutely anything, to get it and keep it.

We can stop them. We can vote them out. And we have to, if we want our nation to survive as anything more than just a name on a map.

Florida: Slaying the Dragon

St. George slays the dragon

Thank God for Florida!

Florida’s state board of education has announced that it will revoke or suspend the teaching license of anyone, any teacher, who will “discuss gender identification” or “sexuality” with children in an elementary school classroom, grades K-3–thus enforcing state law, the Parental Rights in Education Act (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fla-to-strip-licenses-of-k-3-teachers-who-discuss-gender-identity-sexuality/ar-AA12VLOp).

There is no reason for such so-called “teaching”! Its only conceivable purpose is to groom children for sexual experimentation–something that no one but a damned fool thinks is worth doing. I use the term “damned fool” in its literal sense.

Far Left Crazy will be screaming bloody murder over this. Let them! We only pray that this action will be taken by all the other states.

Thank you, Gov. DeSantis, state school board, Florida legislature, and the legions of parents who have stepped up–as they should–to protect their children.

They’d be even better protected if they weren’t in the public schools at all.

Small Town Pushes Back

What the cities can’t do, maybe our small towns can!

[Thanks to Jeri Lynn for the news tip]

(I am so tired today! Weather’s turned rotten, that must be it.)

Can “teachers” and librarians hand out to children any old smut they please… and be immune from the prosecution that would ensue if you did it?

The state of Kansas says yes.

But the town of Edwardsville, KS, pop. 4,800, says no (https://readlion.com/2022/09/29/small-kansas-town-council-rejects-states-legal-protections-for-teachers-librarians-who-submit-obscene-materials-to-minors/?fbclid=IwAR3wZxal_F5TNpbgnOwYueOcW57zteY3WWqGorh3dGGRHMfEBptw1Na3gqs).

Kansas has a Uniform Public Offenses Code to serve as a model for towns and villages who want to make amendments to their respective governments. Many states have such codes. And in Kansas’ code, teachers and librarians can distribute sexually-charged materials to very young children–with no fear of prosecution.

The mayor and council of Edwardsville rejected that provision. There are many compelling reasons for not habituating children to pornography. Everybody knows that except “educators” at teachers’ colleges, unionized teachers, pedophiles, and Far Left morons. Oh–and “TV personalities,” too. Get your 8-year-olds jazzed up for sex!

But they won’t let you do that in Edwardsville.

The Lord Our God does not despise the day of small things, and neither should we. Rejoice! We owe the mayor and council of Edwardsville our gratitude.

May their example inspire others to do the same.

Stuck Again, Dagnabbit!

Having done this for several thousand days in a row, I think I’m starting to get nooze fatigue. Gradually the plethora of absurd, creepy, outrageous, mush-headed stories merge into one. And it’s a story I’ve already covered dozens of times. Where the devil is the exit?

I mean, what’s there to write about that I haven’t already written? Transgender mania. Governed by people who hate us. Race-hustling in the public schools. Killing the culture. I keep telling myself, “People need to know our country is being taken over by villains, thieves, lunatics, and scam artists. We need to know what we’re up against, so we can put a stop to it.” That’s why I’m trying to do this work today. Paul Revere on Geritol.

And how am I going to finish my book, Ozias, Prince in Peril? It’s getting colder every day. We had frost last night.

I’ll just keep trying.

Good News! Unvaxed Cops Get Their Jobs Back

Since when does government get to be Godzilla?

A judge jabs “the jab!”

A Manhattan Supreme Court judge has ruled that police officers who were fired for not getting vaccinated for COVID have to be reinstated (https://nypost.com/2022/09/23/nypd-union-members-axed-over-vax-mandate-ordered-reinstated/). The vaccine “mandate,” said the judge, was invalid because it imposed “a new condition of employment” on city police officers. It was an “improper infringement on our members’ right to make a personal medical decision in consultation with their own health care professionals” said a spokesman for the union.

So the unvaccinated cops have to be reinstated, ruled the judge. Gee–maybe that ought to go for every employee, public or private, who was fired for refusing to take “the jab.”

We either have limits on the powers of government, or we don’t. Ordering people to submit to a controversial medical procedure went well beyond the limit. It ought to apply to members of our armed forces, too. Or do we now have a country in which only some of us are free?

There has to be an end to government doing any blamed thing it pleases.That was always the very basis of our republic. Pray the Lord it still is.

‘So What Are They Gonna Do About It?’ (2017)

I like to run this piece around graduation time each year, as proof that normal people can win if they stand up to the crazies.

So What Are They Gonna Do About It?

“School officials” at Beaver High School, Pennsylvania, forbade the valedictorian from invoking the name of Jesus Christ. (“It’s against the law!” Oh, please: what law?) She praised Him anyway, and the audience gave her a long round of applause.

As it turned out, there was nothing the idiot “school officials” could do about it.

They want to throw you in jail for using “incorrect pronouns.”

They are evil. They are despicable. And if we ever found the courage to stand up to them, we’d wonder how we ever permitted these fools to frighten us.

Glad She’s On Our Side!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

There are still some strong characters up on Capitol Hill who fight for America–who fight for us. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) is one of then. Listen as she hews the legs out from under The Regime’s new Disinformation Governance Board–already widely known by its Orwellian label, “the Ministry of Truth.”

I stand up and cheer! Go get ’em, Lauren! Let’s get that Republican landslide in November so we can defund the censors, reconnect the Keystone Pipeline, and impeach those dastards who have already done such serious harm to our country.

I hope the rest of the House now understands what defending America means.

‘R.I.P. Phyllis Schlafly… American Hero’ (2016)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

See the source image

Phyllis Schlafly died in 2016 at the age of 92, after a long life of service to her country–which is to say, service that benefited us all.

R.I.P. Phyllis Schlafly… American Hero

She was best known for single-handedly raising up the opposition that defeated the so-called “Equal Rights Amendment,” which at the time (1972) needed only three more states for passage. God only knew what mischief that would have led to–but Phyllis Schlafly had a pretty good idea of it. She was the first to see through the euphemism.

I interviewed her in 2009. I didn’t know she was recovering from a serious injury at the time, or I never would have bothered her. But her manner was so gracious, you’d never guess she was in pain.

God does raise up heroes for us. And one of them was Phyllis Schlafly. For whom we give God thanks.
