Exposing a coup.

The Elon Musk/Twitter saga has been most interesting to watch. After purchasing a 9.2% share of Twitter, he then proposed buying the company outright.

Twitter acted to prevent the takeover by using a poison pill approach. This would involve issuing shares at half price if any investor would gain ownership of more than 15% of the outstanding shares.

Twitter’s actions (poison pill offer) publicized Twitter’s desire to censor free speech.

What is this the sole purpose of all of Elon Musk’s actions?

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.

Seriously, we would be better off with nobody as president.

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 6^th 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 18^th.

Here we go again. I am sure that Dr. Fauci will be running to the microphones to admonish the public about relaxing their guard over an imminently highly transmissible version of COVID. The latest variant labeled “XE” is being called the most infectious yet.

A Princess Cruise ship had an outbreak of COVID onboard. The ship docked in San Francisco on Sunday. All crew members and passengers were “fully” vaccinated. All crew and passengers had also been tested for COVID prior to boarding.

People aboard the Ruby Princess caught the virus while on a 15-day Panama Canal cruise. According to the company, those who contracted COVID did not spread it to others on the ship. Right. Sounds like the company is trying to avoid lawsuits.

And the White House continues to insist that the jabs are effective. What are they effective at? They do not stop infection. They do not stop transmission. And they do not prevent serious illness. Oh, I know. They are effective at lining the pockets of Big Pharma.
