  1. She was all in about giving her opinion on book censorship and the censoring of specific authors but when he asked about the White House demanding censorship, suddenly it's up to the courts. Suddenly, her opinions didn't matter anymore.

  2. I'll never stop being astounded that this is even an issue. Hershel lays it out perfectly and the "journalists" still pretend that they don't get it. The world has gone insane.

  3. What does Donald Trump's guilt or innocence have to do with the investigation into Biden's alleged corruption. It's another example of "Well, Donnie did it, too". When I tried that, as a kid, I was doubly punished. One bad act doesn't excuse another.

  4.  @DaTooch_e  I don't think that Abbott would rather break the law. He'd rather that the Federal government uphold the law that requires them to protect the border. The Feds are refusing to do that so Abbot is sending the guard to do it for them. There are even Democrat mayors and governors who are now calling out the Feds for how they're handling the crisis at the border. This may well cause the defeat of the Democrat party in the next election. What is a responsible governor to do? Abbott has millions cross the border into his state and it's costing hundreds of millions to deal with the needs of these illegals. Something has to give and Abbott is trying to stop the bleeding. The Feds are betraying the entire nation in how they're handling this issue. Good on Abbott for trying to do something about it.

  5.  @lillypatience  The surrogate is still a woman. She used the term "person" as a term to erase the existence and special status of women, a status that has been a given for thousands of years and not always to their benefit. However, to recognise that women may not have had equal rights we have to acknowledge that they exist and that they have a unique place in society. Refusing to acknowledge or even define what a woman is, eliminates who women are and what they contribute to the lives of all of us.

  7.  @antclerfont8478  This happened under the Biden/Harris administration. Mace even showed pictures of HER (the sheriff is a woman) with both Biden and Harris. So, I have no idea why you're criticising the MAGA who isn't even the president, yet. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂

  10.  @jamestaylor3805  Yes...the WORLD is overpopulated but US birth rates are 1.7%. That means that US population is in decline, that is it would be if it wasn't for the insane immigration policies of the Democrats. In fact, population rates are in decline in almost every country in the world except Muslim countries. In the western world it has all been done voluntarily without demonising newborn human beings or parents who might want to raise a child. Her rhetoric is completely unnecessary, irrelevant and pointless.

  11.  @catherinewilliams9680  So it's a good thing that we're finally fighting it with....RACISM. Things have sure improved. Now it's being taught. Never been taught before. If they're going to do misogyny and racism they might as well do it correctly....right?

  12.  @abc33155  He is being asked these questions so we will ALL know what his political beliefs and agendas are. That has EVERYTHING to do with his job and Cardona knows it. That's why he keeps answering questions that haven't been asked. If he was being honest he would answer the questions that are being asked and let the chips fall where they may. That's what a person of integrity would do. Also, his bathroom policies are indirectly influenced by his political ideology. The reason why he wouldn't answer it is because he supports the progressive bathroom policies but he't too embarrassed to acknowledge that he would support a policy that would allow a man to expose himself to his daughter under the guise of transgenderism. If he would support that, we can surmise what his progressive policies ARE relevant to the proposal at hand. It's no different than the assumption that a Fascist will do as a Fascist does. Cardona will do as HIS ideology does.....and I'm NOT calling him a Fascist. It's a comparison of ideologies, that's all.

  13.  @redcygne  It has NOTHING to do with being emasculated. It's about controlling speech. It's telling me that I MUST use the word that's been designated to be used at the insistence of a ruling body, the government. It's limiting expression and the freedom of how we communicate. You cannot tell people what they must say under threat of judicial retribution. That's goes against everything that our country stands for. If the government can force me to use government approved language, they will also begin to force me to believe government approved dogma. We fought HARD against that in WW2 and in the Cold War. Now we have to fight our own government who wants to tell me what I must say. The way we express ourselves is how we think and use our brain. Limit that and you limit yourself in ways that only the authoritarian mind would approve of. Also, women ARE included. They even have a word for a partner who happens to be a woman. That word is "wife". You're advocating the elimination of your own identity. I WANT to see women to have their own agency and to do this I want to see them recognised for who they are.

  15.  haseeb2167  Can you show me a time, over the last 100 years, the maximum life span of almost everyone, where there was no war going on? I can't think of any time where that happened. Why is THIS war so divisive? Could it be due to an ideology which will always villainize those of Jewish heritage? I'm going to say that's exactly why some people are so pro-Hamas. It has nothing to do with decrying violence. It has to do with group identity and the hierarchy of oppression. Israel is a rich country and Gaza has urinated away all their money and opportunities, spending it on a huge tunnel network and the production and purchase of weapons of war. The successful are always that bad guy, according to this ideology. They want everyone to fail equally.

  16. @Xavier E The article that you recommended said nothing about ID policies. It as about Gerrymandering. If that strategist engaged in the illegal rigging of voting districts, we should find out who helped him. Illegal acts should be punished. Also, every western nation requires an ID to vote. It's normal procedure and just plain common sense. Arguing that because a Republican did something wrong therefore we shouldn't be required to show ID to vote is not just illogical, it's rather foolish. And pretending that this article has everything to do with ID policies is dishonest.

  17. That's not the problem. The problem is a bloated bureaucracy that will do the bidding of those obnoxious Karens. Karens will always exist but we've let our government grow to the point that they can now respond to the whims of Karens without having to justify it. There's a rule for everything. That's why we have to vote for the movement that wants to pull back on that bureaucratic over reach. Going after the Karen only treats the symptom, NOT the real problem.

  18.  @stuwest3653  She didn't work for that non-profit organisation. She was only on their advisory committee and helped them in their organisational efforts. Sounds like work to me. She told Grassley that she didn't work for them. I remember working at the food bank. I didn't get paid for it as it's a charity but I remember slugging more boxes and bags there than I did at my paying job. Well, I better get back to work mowing my lawn. I'm not getting paid for it but it sure seems like work.

  19.  @ViralVenom  I graduated high school in 1970 and then went to college and graduated in 1989. We actually learned stuff like Math, English, History, Geography, Science....you know stuff that you can use and helps you to think logically. They weren't about self loathing back then or blame. They'll never get me to hate my own grandchildren, no matter how many of them come along. I accept life as it happens, fix what I can and don't sweat the rest. Although I'm not Christian, I really like this prayer. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." I wish that more people would live their lives by this.

  20.  @rocklandstone5475  Explain what? That crime has gone up, radically since 2020? No...he was looking for excuses and the excuse that he came up with was "It's better than 10 years ago" which he's using to overlook the raising crime rates of the last 3 years. All I heard him say is "Let's ignore the increased deaths and destruction over the last 3 years. I want to focus on how good it was in 2013". A real problem solver, that guy.

  21.  @stuwest3653  So, interns don't work? They're just fooling around? I'd say that "representing" this organisation shows a greater commitment to their cause than merely collecting a paycheck. Who would "represent" a charity that they didn't believe in? You might take a paycheck from an organisation that you didn't believe in because you need money to buy food and pay rent but you're not going to give up valuable time, for no compensation, for something that you don't believe in. I think that you're engaging in semantics, just like this woman was. She could have been forthcoming, had she any integrity, and told Grassley of her relationship with that organisation but she omitted it intentionally. She was being dishonest because she was afraid that her involvement might reflect badly on her.
    16
  22.  @stuwest3653  Integrity revolves around being honest, not disingenuous. She knew why she was being asked this question and she dodged it and she had a reason for her lack of candour. You're using word games to excuse her lack of true honesty. It's everything that's wrong with politics and, apparently, the legal system. It's a rationalisation for being insincere.

  23.  @TT-qo9dv  Then don't scream out "LIAR" repeatedly. Talk with decorum, make your point, with facts if you have it, and then allow the other person to defend themselves. 2 people screaming "LIAR!" at one another accomplishes nothing. That's not dialogue. That's chaos and chaos offers no solutions except an escalation into violence. All that screaming and I still have no idea what he was supposed to be lying about. They could even be correct but it doesn't matter. They didn't elaborate and we're just as ignorant of the facts as we were before they started to scream like demented children.

  24.  @queent3343  How does not talking to 5 to 8 year olds about sexual topics, legislate the LGBTQ community out of existence? When I was in school, the teachers would have gotten fired for what some teachers are talking to the kids about now. The LGBTQ community has done nothing but grow and has become more acceptable since then. You can be a part of that community all you want and NOTHING will happen to you. If you start talking to a 6 year old about sexual topics, EVEN IF YOU'RE STRAIGHT, that isn't acceptable. I'll have to repeat this because people, like you, don't seem to get it. EVEN IF YOU'RE STRAIGHT, you can't talk to young children about straight sex in the schools. Why is that so difficult to understand? I'm saying that you DO understand it but you just don't like it.

  27.  @lillypatience  You're splitting hairs by focusing on the very rare exceptions. We all know what a mother is and we all know that ONLY a biological woman will act as a surrogate mother. That term "surrogate mother" has a recognised meaning and it goes as follows. 1. a person or animal that takes on all or part of the role of mother to another person or animal. 2. a woman who bears a child on behalf of another person or a couple, typically via artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization. : the online dictionary. That means that the words "woman" and "mother" are interchangeable for the purpose of this discussion. The use of the term "pregnant person" is being used as a signal of support to a specific ideology and that does deny the existence of specific group designations that we all know as "mothers" and "women".

  28.  @dracotaz  I'm not really sure what that means....preach politics. People have opinions and they're allowed to have them. However, the Constitution demands the right to express yourself, no matter what that idea might be. If a university doesn't allow that freedom of expression, guaranteed by the Constitution, then they're breaking the law. You can preach politics all you want. That's what's happening at universities. However, you don't attack and quash the rights of others to disagree with you, like they're doing with conservative groups on campus. If a religious institution does that, don't allow them the funding, which is what a tax exemption is. The right to free speech is paramount, even if it's religious in nature. It's suppressing that right that goes against our civil rights. THAT is what he's saying. You seem to be missing the point.

  31. Of course Twitter didn't restrict their employees from expressing their views. Twitter wouldn't hire anyone that had unacceptable views. If an employee did slip through the cracks and posted something that Twitter didn't like, they'd claim that this employee was creating an unsafe workspace and fire the errant employee. In other words, they'd didn't censor their employees because they knew that nothing would be said that could be censored.

  34.  @tommyanomaly6193  Baloney. Florida has been the destination for seniors and snowbirds for 60 years. My dad went there for 20 years, stayed just outside Tampa Bay and NEVER went to any of the Disney attractions. I spent a winter there myself and drove by Disney World a number of times and never went in and this was YEARS ago, long before any of the controversy started. Florida is a big state. They don't need Disney World to survive.

  35.  @charlesjohnson3625  Eating meat is a part of our diet and has been for hundreds of thousands of years, probably millions of years. We're not the only ones that are carnivores. However, we've developed a social understanding that ALL human life has value and that human has been granted equal rights and opportunities under the law. We either apply that principle to ALL human life or we might as well through the idea of human civil rights out the window. When we try to expand that principle to all life, we going to run into convoluted legal issues that it would be impossible to solve.....because where does it stop? Could I be charged if I kill a mouse, maybe that deer fly that just bit my ear? I know that if I eat an eagle's egg, right after it's been fertilised and laid, I will do jail time but I'm allowed to kill a human egg right after it's been fertilised. How does that even make sense.

  39.  @maggiesmama757  I don't think using the word "snaps" is overly egregious. DeSantis interrupted him with a "Whoa, whoa, whoa" and a look mixed with disdain and frustration.

That reporter was only trying to cause trouble and division where there wasn't any.

  40.  @lillypatience  What part of the definition of surrogate MOTHER do you not understand? It quite explicitly says that it's a mother, describing a specific type of mother. ...NOT person. "The role of the mother " NOT person. That woman used the word "person" intentionally to display her personal beliefs and you know it. You're being intentionally obtuse.

  41.  @MichaelSheffield-ox8yd  I have always said that those who refuse to defend their beliefs or claims, usually have nothing to defend them with. You don't have to argue. All you have to do is state your case and why you believe that way. Name calling is meaningless and should be abandoned after one graduates from primary school. It's the tactic of the school yard bully.

If there is a doubt and it sometimes happens, there are protocols for that until the sex, of the child, is determined and that is based on biology, NOT opinion.

  43.  @almosthuman1398  I've never had a problem posting a link and when I make a claim, I will always try to give references to back it up. No one has to beg me for proof. I don't make claims if I can't prove it and I never, EVER, ask anyone to prove my claim for me. It's MY claim and if I'm going to make it, I'd better be able to back it up. I believe that it's an obligation to do so. For some reason, and I can't figure out why, some people think that making a claim is proof enough. I'm proud to be able to back up a claim. I'm lost on why others don't feel the same way. So I went to find out about this Beattie guy and lo and behold....he was born FEMALE. He underwent a double mastectomy but retained his reproductive organs but called himself a man. However, biologically he's NOT a man. He was STILL a woman. In fact, if you did a DNA analysis of the guy, the DNA would show him to be a woman. This "assigned" at birth stuff is just playing at silly Orwellian word games, changing meanings to fit an ideology. Beattie was born a woman, with all the parts that make him a woman. He (I'm calling him that out of courtesy) can call himself anything he wants, convince others to call him that but when the rubber hits the pavement, he's still a woman. Word games don't change reality. It's no wonder you didn't want to give me a link. I'll do it for you, though. It's not that difficult to do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Beatie

  45.  @iputthemeinmediocre  Do you know how they perform a late term abortion? They inject the infant, while in the womb, so it dies and then induce labour so the mother can give birth to the dead child. They induce labour because natural birth is still the safest and most practical way to get the child from the womb. If the mother is unable to give birth naturally, they perform a c-section. So why cause the child to die to extract it from the womb if they can bring it out alive? I've asked this of many people. Under what circumstances is it absolutely impossible for a mother to give birth to a child in the late stages of pregnancy? I'm not getting it. They can get the infant out dead but NOT alive? That doesn't make sense to me and if I'm wrong show me how I'm wrong.
