    English teachers in Florida may now teach only excerpts from Shakespeare's plays, not the plays in their entirety, because Shakespeare is too racy for the free state of Florida.

    Dennis Prager of Prager not University, whose cartoons of fake Columbus and fake Frederick Douglass are now taught in Florida schools, said there is nothing wrong about masturbating to child pornography.

    But can't say gay because we are "groomers".

    Can you find a link to this? I believe it, but I want a source before I spread this all over the conservative sub on reddit.

    Ron DeSantis and his backers paid $95,000 to an Iowa religious leader’s group



    https://www.reuters.com/world/us/de... campaign, a super,an Iowa state lawmaker who

    As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis scrambles to shore up his struggling run for the Republican presidential nomination, he has spent far more than any rival on courting an influential Christian conservative leader and his following in the key early voting state of Iowa.

    Trailing far behind former President Donald Trump in national polls and beset by turmoil in his campaign, DeSantis and his advisers are spending heavily in Iowa in hopes of stalling Trump’s momentum by beating him in the state’s caucuses on Jan. 15, where Republicans begin to choose their next presidential nominee. The state’s influential evangelical voting base is crucial to that strategy.


    The DeSantis campaign, a super PAC linked to him and a nonprofit group supporting him together paid $95,000 in recent months to the Family Leader Foundation, an Iowa-based nonprofit led by evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaats, according to campaign finance reports and a document prepared by an Iowa state lawmaker who was helping the Vander Plaats organization raise money for a July 14 presidential candidate forum.


    The document and the amount spent by DeSantis and his allies are previously unreported.

    For that money, DeSantis and supporting groups got three pages of advertisements in a booklet distributed at the July forum attended by 2,000 Christian conservatives, and tickets to the summit, lunch and an after-dinner event.

    But the real value may be more in building a relationship with Vander Plaats, whose endorsement is coveted in the early-voting state, said three campaign finance experts and an academic who studies Iowa campaign spending.


    Vander Plaats and his group are leaders in the state’s Christian conservative movement, which has enormous political influence in Iowa. Roughly two-thirds of the state’s Republican caucus-goers in 2016 identified as evangelical, according to pollsters Edison Media Research.

    “It’s a lot more money” than you typically see allocated in Iowa, said Steffen Schmidt, an emeritus political science professor at Iowa State University who studies political spending in the state. “It is a large amount for a very limited exposure in a booklet and for a single event,” he said.


    In emailed comments to Reuters, Vander Plaats said the charges were “not even close to exorbitant” for the chance to be promoted before an audience of nearly 2,000 “engaged grassroots activists” at a forum that received extensive national political coverage.

    “My only regret is that we probably should have charged more,” he said.

    At the Iowa state fair, DeSantis had popular game stopped so he and his family could play by themselves while everyone watched.

    Prager not University is heavily funded by oil companies. One of the videos approved for Florida schools calls global warming a hoax and compares climate activists to Nazis.

    Real Nazis really like DeSantis and he likes them.

    Ha, I'm sure he does in fact want Disney to drop the suit...also sure that he now wishes he'd never started his crap with Disney in the first place.

    Rather than drop it, Disney just filed another suit.

    Oh, the mouse, babe, has such teeth, dear
    And it shows them pearly white

    Imagine saying you're done with T*ump, go this fuckbag, realize he's as fucking stupid as the dude you previously liked, and STILL are too fucking stupid to know you're the mark yet.

    One commentator said there are two kinds of people in Florida. Those who think DeSantis should be president, and those who have met him.
