Just for his opposition to CBDCs I would vote for DeSantis.
And there’s the small matter of him standing up to covid lunacy too.
Can’t conservative Americans just get over their Trump crush and vote for this man who clearly.is very competent and has his head screwed on right?
Ann Coulter is certainly a convert: Could Somebody Keep Trump’s Promises? – Ann Coulter
I would love to hear some arguments from those on the US right who are sticking with Trump. I’ve seen comments to the effect of De Santis is a politician and therefore not to be trusted, whereas Trump is an outsider. This is certainly true, but De Santis is delivering where Trump failed to.
What I will concede is that DeSantis isn’t the most charismatic person you’ll find. He’s kind of goofy and bordering on dull.
I suppose they think Trump is going to be better at “shaking things up”.
I disagree. I would bet on DeSantis’ steady as you go, sensible, relentless grind over Trump’s bluster.
Trump probably has more voter appeal but once in power he failed to get things done. De Santis would be the opposite.
Just read about the JSO proestors travelling to London for a week of marches.
Daft question – are they all cycling there or walking? Guess they will take the train or bus.
Talk about hrpocracy.
Just stop net zero.
Carbon is food. Carbon is good.
Love this. They know how to do it in Germany. I especially like the girl’s technique, it’s like she’s taking out the rubbish! lol But it’s the way they just get up and go and sit back in the road! That would antagonize anyone so if you were calm to begin with then that sort of goady behaviour will enrage anybody I think;
”German drivers take matters into their own hands by dragging eco protesters out of the road, after they caused major disruption blocking traffic for hours.”

Marvellous stuff.
RFK Jr used to be very pro-vaccine, but he changed his position on that issue. And now after decades of pushing green agendas he is making noises about the “Climate Industrial Complex” being worse than a bit of warming. I don’t know his position on CBDCs, but I’d be confident he is against them. Of course the Democratic Party won’t allow him to win, but it would be good to see him shake it up.
“The £22 million Welsh Government HQ at Llandudno Junction, Wales, was built for 650 staff with 409 desks in 2010, but only 34 staff a day attended between January and May this year as WFH hits office use”
To be fair the change to WFH as we have it now would have been hard to predict. It’s a shame they spent so much on it so recently as they will be tempted to try and justify the cost somehow. Our local council is selling their building and will use much smaller offices – ££££s into the coffers and a better use of the currently empty space (£££s they will waste on green crap probably). They key question is how these changes have affected productivity. They should be looking at the evidence and decide based on a combination of that, staff welfare and best use of funds. If they can’t say how the move to WFH has affected productivity, how they hell were they running the place before Covid?
I am not convinced supervision is possible with a high rate of WFH. Staff training and development is also a problem. It can’t all be learned online.
That has not been my experience but different workplaces, roles and business domains will vary. We have taken on new people online and they are very productive. I try to employ people who behave like adults and do not require supervision it those that do certainly are supervised- I look at what people produce rather than how long they sit in front of a screen.
What I don’t understand at all with these people is why would you transition to a man but only then decide you want a baby? So you’ve had all of that testosterone that you need to take daily ( still women are warned against taking bloody paracetamol! ), you’ve had your breasts removed, but it’s after all of that that you feel ready to be a parent?? I’ve seen a number of these now and it’s more than a bit f*cked up!
”This is a pregnant woman who cut off her healthy breasts so she can’t breastfeed her baby.
She also took teratogenic testosterone while being pregant which can harm her child.
Parenthood or narcissism?”

Mental illness.
Makes you wonder how it got pregnant in the first place? Jeez, urgh!
Yeah but, what boggles my mind is, you want to be a man and go through all of that transition. But I can’t think of anything more non-masculine than being pregnant!
It’s just so completely at odds with your new identity and I’ve no idea how the psychology of such people works. It’s like they’re happy with their top half being male but want to keep their bottom half female.
Bizarre. They’re basically existing as a person that’s got one foot in each camp. No-man’s Land.
Yes it really does seam like a psychotic break with reality, not being sure of anything anymore, that must be very disturbing to those who suffer from it!
They used to be put in special hospitals, now, they’re influencers!
…I read this today..and I can’t fault it…..
…”if your genitals don’t define your sex..why does cutting them off validate it?”
Turkey baster.
Here’s one in the eye for the climate crisis fan club!

Look on the bright side. You wouldn’t want to move into a new home and then discover that the local council want to tax you for your car.
But I think that is exactly what will happen. Our DC had such limited publicity on its local plan that the recent start on building has come as a great shock to residents.
Please could we have another rail strike on Monday?
I’m sure the Welsh government continued just fine.
There’s been a 7-fold increase in a rare disease called Steven-Johnson syndrome. This paper looks at several cases, all of which have been death-jabbed. Note how they have to include the possibility of the Covid virus being causal. They probably had to do that so the paper could be published but show me a respiratory virus that has the ability to do this to someone. These poor people have to be treat on burns units because their skin falls off;
”Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) / toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare, potentially life threatening mucocutaneous hypersensitivity reaction resulting in desquamation of the skin and mucosa. These patients are managed on burns units due to the widespread desquamation. We report the largest case series of participants developing SJS/TEN in the setting of recent COVID infection or vaccination. We found a seven-fold increase in SJS/TEN since the COVID pandemic. This increase correlates with an increase in COVID infections and vaccination rates. We explore the immunopathological relationships between COVID and SJS/TEN and propose theories for possible associations.”

Christine Massey has placed over 220 FOIs to various health bodies around the world requesting evidence of a purified isolate sample of SARS-CoV-2 virus. Every single reply she has received has stated that they have no evidence that this exists.
So, with no evidence of its existence, how can a virus be the cause?
As the narrative promoted is that a virus exists, it is up to them to prove its existence. So far they have failed to provide any evidence outside of a computer model.
UKEZ charges do not reduce pollution unless they force people to stop using the cars they can afford to go where they want to go. That typically means people with older cheaper cars have to stop travelling, pay money they can ill afford or somehow finance a newer car.
The cash raised by local authorities will not be used to improve pollution by such means as better road layout to reduce braking, accelerating after needless stops, idling or queing.
If it is to be aplied, ULEZ should be graded according to rough bands of damage and not linked to CO2 output. CO2 is not a pollutant and it is, at best, a very poor proxy for pollution from cars. Most of the damaging pollution which Natural England is concerned about are micro-particulates from dirty diesels (which the political class was gung ho about until yesterday) and EVs. The latter are especially bad because the additional weight they carry increases tyre wear and brake pad wear; each of these give off highly toxic dust which it has been found many meters away from the road in Epping Forest.
The residents of Epping Forest district are not at all content with the huge number of additional homes to be built, largely on Green Belt land. In this case the locals really do know what is best for the district. Not only do roads through and near the forest damage the plant and animal life there but they damage children;s health and others’ too. The roads are above design capacity but no increase is planned – just many more homes with consequent car journeys.
The only policy attempt the EFDC has adopted to reduce pollution is its “modal shift” idea: we all give up cars and use buses (rare around here), bicycles (dangerous because roads are narrow, hills and lots of potholes) or walking. This in a district where the new Local Plan was predicated on data suggesting the population is aging.
The Councils, meanwhile, have relocated all schools to the very edge of communities so additional car journeys are made to get the pupils and teachers there.
The adage “you couldn’t make it up” has been proved wrong – EFDC has managed to make up a disastrous policy.
Was UKEZ just a typo? or does it stand for ultra Khan emissions zone? just wondered
Following on from yesterday’s article on reduced trust in childhood immunisations, SV40 along with DNA has been found in the Pfizer “vaccine” vials. Wonder if the presence of that has anything to do with the increase in turbo cancers worldwide….???
