    Today, Florida is fighting back against the global elite’s plan to force the world to eat meat grown in a petri dish or bugs to achieve their authoritarian goals,” DeSantis said.

    He should have banned bugs in Florida instead.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      Fear not, that's coming.

      I haven't looked into DeSantis's thinking on this. Lab-grown might be unpalatable, but why ban it?

            Big Ag sounds like Fetterman’s stated reasoning. DeSantis’s reasoning is probably more like Big Culture War or Big Attention Whore but I repeat myself.

                        If nothing else, tall people might not be predisposed towards inferiority complexes.

                        Education is extremely important.

                            From the RWEC: "I was wrong"

                            It’s time for me to do something that pundits seldom do: Flat out admit I was wrong.

                            This is a rarity in the commentating world. But boy, was I.

                            Here goes: I was wrong about Sen. John Fetterman.

                            Writing in The Post on Valentine’s Day in 2023, I opined that Pennsylvania’s new US Senator lacked the mental and physical abilities needed to serve.

                            Sen. John Fetterman speaking at the Yeshiva University commencement ceremony in Queens on May 29, 2024.
                            Sen. John Fetterman speaking at the Yeshiva University commencement ceremony in Queens on May 29, 2024. Dennis A. Clark
                            According to reports, he couldn’t understand voices, had trouble walking and generally wasn’t up to the job.

                            The mainstream press rallied to protect him (there was a D next to his name, after all), but even a New York Times puff piece admitted that to Fetterman, voices sounded like the adults in the “Peanuts” cartoons — indecipherable noise — and that his health problems had left him with “physical impairment and serious mental health challenges.”

                            But that was a rare concession. After NBC’s Dasha Burns interviewed him both live and on camera, she said Fetterman didn’t seem to be able to follow their conversation.

                            That revelation got Burns dogpiled by lefty activists and fellow journalists (to the extent there’s a difference nowadays) amid charges of “ableism” and the like. She was denounced on the air by her own network’s Savannah Guthrie and in the pages of the Times.

                            From all this, I concluded that Fetterman was just going to be a party tool — shepherded around by his staff, told how to vote by handlers, an institutionally pliable vote for the Democratic Party and the leftist activists who control it.

                            Basically, a Senate voting machine programmed by the apparatchiks.

                            Again: Boy, was I wrong.

                            Good for him.

                                If you go to church worship, and I don't know if you do, do you wear something that shows respect for the institution, or do you come in a wife-beater t-shirt and shorts?

                                It's possible to have zero respect for tradition and still be right, you know.

                                But in answer to your question, "Yes."

                                        Fetterman could and did get better. The Resident will not. Oh, they may jack him up and he might have a good rally or two, reading scripted remarks off the teleprompter or cue cards, but he's in a decline you don't come back from.

                                          I’m becoming more and more convinced that Fetterman died in the hospital when he was taken in for depression last year, and they’re paying my buddy Rob to take over as John. The money is probably good enough to have him tow the line on some stuff, but he’s slowly shifting his positions…
