Why Moms for Liberty Frightens the Democrats -

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

The group leads a movement that threatens the power of their teacher union paymasters.


"For most Americans, “Mom” evokes images of kindness, courage, sympathy and love. Likewise, “liberty” calls up concepts like individual rights, freedom of expression, equality and justice. Yet, the perversity of the current political environment is such that a parental rights group whose name combines these two words has been demonized by Democrats, the corporate media and the reactionary left. Just recently, a New Hampshire Democrat denounced the group as “Assholes with casseroles,” the Hill ran a story titled, “Six reasons why Moms for Liberty is an extremist organization,” and the Southern Poverty Law Center added them to its Hate Map.

Why so much animus for an organization whose goal is merely to give parents a voice in the education of their children? It certainly doesn’t reflect public opinion. An Economist/YouGov poll released in late June found that a mere 23 percent of Americans view Moms for Liberty unfavorably. The remaining 77 percent view it favorably or have no opinion about the group at all. The organization was co-founded in Florida by Tina Descovich and Tiffany Justice, who had witnessed firsthand the disregard for parental rights by school boards on issues ranging from COVID-19 restrictions to age-appropriate curricula. In a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, they suggest that the education establishment sees them as a threat:

A survey conducted last month for Moms for Liberty by Jim McLaughlin proves that point. Mr. McLaughlin’s national poll of 1,000 likely voters found that more than two-thirds think the K-12 public-education system is on the wrong track. Two-thirds favor removing age-inappropriate sexually explicit material from K-12 classroom. Maybe most important, the poll found that 70% of Americans think parents, not government, should have the ultimate say over what is being taught to their children at school.

"This explains why Moms for Liberty has, in less than three years, expanded from a few chapters in the Sunshine State to nearly 300 chapters in 45 states. Nor have they restricted themselves to protesting at school board meetings. They have endorsed and actively supported parent-friendly candidates for school board seats nationwide. In 2022, they supported 500 candidates, 275 of whom won. Moreover, their candidates took control of 17 school boards in California, Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Moms for Liberty has now set its sights on school board elections in 2024, even as the organization enjoys rapidly growing conservative support and donor funding." . . .


Dan Bongino Says Secret Service Agents Are Furious and 'Know' Who's Behind the Cocaine

 Dan Bongino Says Secret Service Agents Are Furious and 'Know' Who's Behind the Cocaine – RedState   


"The story of cocaine behind found at the Biden White House has been quite the wild ride. It was a narrative that just wouldn’t stop changing. First, the cocaine was found “near” the White House and wasn’t really cocaine. Then it was found in the White House Library and was left by a tourist. After that, it was found at the West Executive Entrance and was left by a construction worker.

"The claims just kept morphing. Seemingly every day brought about a new shift despite the location being a detail that would have been known since the initial discovery. And then, just as the White House had settled on a final narrative, the investigation suddenly ended.

"Who was responsible? According to the Secret Service, it was just a mystery too deep to solve. Sure, there were cameras at the West Executive Entrance, multiple checkpoints, and even a visitor log, but the agency that is tasked with stopping assassins simply couldn’t crack the code.

"According to Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent with over a decade of experience, his peers aren’t happy about this." . . .

Tucker Carlson Helps Cull the Republican Presidential Field -

 


. . ."Asa Hutchinson was asked if he’d changed his opinion after he vetoed an Arkansas Bill banning transgendering surgical treatment for children. “The bill made what it called an 'exception' for some intersex people with unspecified chromosomal makeup and hormone production, and those with difficulties resulting from previous gender-affirming treatments. It also would have banned ​so-called 'cross-hormone' therapy,​ a gender-affirming treatment that allows for trans people to ​change their physical appearance to be more consistent with their gender identity.”

"Tucker noted that hormonal treatment of children created a permanent alteration, as did surgical intervention, and that Hutchinson forbade restricting surgery and cross-hormonal therapy.  How did he feel two years later about hormonal treatments?  Hutchinson did not offer a satisfactory answer. Probably because he could not. He began by saying “God says there are two sexes,” but then continued that parents have a right to change that. The response was so muddled, it was unconvincing. I mark that as another candidate out of the race.

"Tucker was a bit softer on Haley, letting her off harder questions on her hawkish views on Ukraine. She showed a lot of political savvy and poise. Nevertheless, she did not do well on the questions of climate change, and fudged on the question of whether she thought that 2020 was a fair election, deflecting to a plea about achieving election integrity. She said there were a lot of irregularities but didn’t think it affected the results even though she agreed that the Intelligence Community had too much power and interfered with the 2020 election. She displayed great managerial instincts and was great on cleaning out those agencies and the Department of Justice. And she has a record to back this up, which she described. On homelessness, she argued that we need more mental health treatment and major changes to the present health care system. (Certainly, these are valid issues, though I don’t see how that can result in short-term changes.) On climate change, she notes that re the Paris Climate Agreement she was critical of the plan that hampers us while letting the China and India, the major emitters, alone. She argued for energy independence -- it’s “a national security threat,” contending that we need that and a strong military. Haley said she didn’t know who sabotaged the Nord Stream pipeline, which hurt our western allies. As for the White House cocaine find, she said only few people go into that area and surveillance cameras are placed at that spot and called the Secret Service report a “cover-up for Hunter or someone very close to the president.” . . .

. . ."Not clear you’re catching the drift here.

More like joined his fellow Republican leaders in running like scared rabbits and warp-speeding a statutory “fix” to RFRA in less than a week. A “fix” in the same manner as a lethal dose of fentanyl.

In fact, said “fix” undermined the very freedoms it was passed to protect while creating out of whole cloth, Supreme Court-style, entirely new rights for their tormentors.

Which led one prominent Christian leader, speaking for many peers, to pronounce the fast-tracked backtrack a “train wreck.” And by the way, Memories, left to hang in the wind, now is truly a memory.". . .

ELECTION INTERFERENCE: Biden DOJ Seeks December Trial Date in Classified Docs Case - On Eve of Iowa Republican Caucuses

Democrats' hatred- yes, hatred- for conservatives is so much stronger than their affection for this nation, TD

  The Gateway Pundit  "Biden’s corrupt Justice Department is seeking a December 11 trial date in Jack Smith’s classified documents case.

"This is brazen election interference.

"If Judge Aileen grants the DOJ’s request, the trial date will begin just weeks before the Iowa Republican presidential caucuses.

"The Iowa Caucuses are starting earlier this election cycle and will take place on January 15, 2024.". . .

. . ."Judge Cannon set the trial date for August 14 but Trump’s lawyers asked to indefinitely postpone the trial.

"Justice Department lawyers on Thursday filed a motion pushing back on Trump’s legal team and asked the Judge to proceed with jury selection on December 11, 2023.

"Joe Biden can’t win the 2024 election against Trump so he sent his Justice Department lawyers after Trump to shut him down and jail him." . . .

Man Wants Uterus So He Can be First "Trans Woman" to Have Abortion

A perfect pick for a Democrat administration. TD

"Creating killing an unborn baby as if it was a badge of honor, a radical transgender activist said he wants to have a uterus and ovary transplant in order to become the first trans-female to have an abortion.

On Tuesday, Libs of TikTok, a social media account that exposes radical leftist extremism, shared a video of the transgender activist, a biological male, making the disturbing comment online, according to Live Action News.

“ 'I want to be the first trans woman to have a successful uterus transplant, ovaries and eggs included, and I want to be the first trans-woman to have an abortion,” the activist said in the video.

"Likely an attempt to gain attention by shocking his audience, the unnamed activist went on to say he will “have as much gay sex as it takes with as many trans-women as it takes and let the transphobes and homophobes scratch their heads wondering what to make of it.”

"The activist said he wants the uterus and ovaries to come from “a willing, healthy, trans-masculine donor,” for whom “I will devote myself heart and soul to their aftercare.”" . . .
