Bits & Pieces

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday he will formally seek to strip the Walt Disney Co. of its self-governing status after it publicly bashed the Sunshine State’s anti-grooming law.  Potential termination of all special districts that were announced in Florida prior to 1968 would be reviewed by the legislature.

Many families across the country are re-considering the Disney company for family activities.  This is due in part to Disney’s stated intentions of including “queerness” (their statement not mine) as much as possible in children’s programming.

It’s Over

A federal judge in Florida has voided the national mask mandate covering airports, planes and other public travel.  The decision by U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in Tampa said the CDC failed to justify its decision and did not follow proper rulemaking procedures that left it fatally flawed.

In her 59-page ruling, Mizelle said the only remedy was to vacate the rule entirely across the country because it would be impossible to end it for the limited group of people who had filed  the lawsuit.

Florida Rolls

Many states have been involved in the process of redrawing the lines for their House congressional districts as a result of the last census. Florida is no exception and actually will add a congressional seat making their total 28.  This is the result of rapid population growth as well as population shifts elsewhere in the country.

The Florida legislature originally drew two potential maps and sent them to the governor for his signature.  He vetoed them based on the opinion of attorneys in the governor’s office that such maps were unconstitutional.  Specifically, Florida law states that district lines cannot be “drawn to favor or disfavor an incumbent or political party.”  This law is supported by nearly two-thirds of Florida voters.

This is not what happens in many other states.  Lines are often drawn to favor an incumbent or to dis-favor one.  Both parties do it.  South Carolina’s 6th congressional district is one such example of many across the country.

And So It Begins Again

Let’s remember that the only way that the Democrats can win any election at this point is to cheat.  In order to allow for that opportunity, the Democrats must limit or prevent in-person voting.  This will allow the use of ballot mules, ballot harvesting, and other fraudulent voting methods.  To create pressure to allow such methods, the Democrats must portray in-person voting as inherently dangerous.  Presto!  We now have a major Democratic stronghold with a known history of voter fraud announcing that a mandatory indoor mask mandate will be required starting April 18th.
