Over the years she’s opposed gay adoption, insisted she’s not a feminist, fetishised “traditional” family units despite not growing up in one herself, and expressed support for Russian leader Vladimir Putin. There are suggestions that her leadership could mark a continuation of Italy’s darkest political chapter and accentuate a worrying swing to the right across Europe following the re-election of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán in April, the near-election of Marine Le Pen in France that month, and a new right-wing takeover in previously liberal Sweden earlier this month. Critics have good reason to fear her election will spark a return to fascism in Italy.
Ian is still out in the gulf and already the left-wing media are trying for a W-Katrina moment with DeSantis. So far DeSantis 1 left-media 0
Christina Pushaw, the rapid response director for the Ron DeSantis reelection campaign responded directly to the tweet, “Read that tweet again and ask yourself where you went wrong in life to end up doing this kind of ‘journalism.’”
She listed multiple critiques of Politico’s story in a separate post, calling out the author, Matt Dixon, directly.
Edit. The false story is still on the Politico website
But DeSantis still hasn’t faced one of the toughest challenges a Florida leader can encounter: a major hurricane.
Fact check—False DeSantis took office in Jan. 2019 and Hurricane Sally struck the Florida panhandle in Sept. 2020, hitting the city of Pensacola particularly hard.
The story summarizes the Democrat strategy for 2022: try to make it about abortion and Trump. But the race between the Democrat Ellison and Republican Schultz is a dead heat.
An ABC News/Washington Post poll of registered voters shows that Republicans are 21 points up against Democrats in battleground districts across the country. That’s right, 21 points. These aren’t even just likely voters — they are registered voters — and many key pollsters think Republican voters don’t even want to answer polling surveys because the FBI might take their cellphones away.
Well, you know that she’s very old and cut her some slack after a long plane ride. You know, Willie Brown is probably thinking, why wasn’t I born 30 years later.
Gasoline prices here in California are above the June high
Bidens bump in the polls over the past few months tracked declining gasoline prices. For nearly 100 days, gas prices went down. They peaked at a record high of more than $5 per gallon in June and reached a low of $3.67. Now, at $3.80, they have begun to head back up.
According to the Real Clear Politics average of polls, Joe Biden’s “disapprove” rating peaked at the end of June at 57.3% and dropped to 53.1% in mid-September, along with the slide in gasoline prices. Since then, the percentage of voters expressing disapproval of Biden has inched higher, and GOP chances are looking brighter.
California is confident in their party. They have no reason to fear losing elections, and thus don’t really care, in the short term, if gas prices go up. Only if Newsome their governor has national dreams will he become concerned at the appearance of outrageous fuel prices.
The crime issue is connecting with the voters. Here in the Frisco Bay area, there are daily stories of murders in Oakland. They’ve had over 100 murders this year. The California Attorney General Bonta gave a speech yesterday blaming it all on “gun violence” and vowed to confiscate guns.
Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania the Republicans are actually doing something effective.
The drive against Larry Krasner has already divided Democrats on the politically charged issues of policing and public safety, cleaving at the diverse coalition of voters Democrats need to turn out in this critical swing state.
Check that - between the time I left school with a field trip this morning, to the time I returned with the field trip this afternoon, our pump prices jumped 40-cents.
I’m torn on this. Because one person shouldnt have the unilateral ability to completely nullify properly enacted law. Pardons are always individually based, dependant on review of the individual’s specific circumstances. This is a blanket move being done regardless of individual circumstances, it isnt about the person it’s about the crime (which in fact still remains a crime).
Besides, federal possession charges often open the door to building bigger and badder cases. Pardon the possession, does the rest of the case now fall as fruit of the poisonous tree?
