Rick Scott is going to save America.

4. We will secure our border, finish building
the wall, and name it after President Donald
Trump. Nations have borders. We should give that a
try. President Trump’s plan to build a wall was right. We
welcome those who want to join us in building the American
dream, immigrants who want to be Americans, not change
America. We are a stronger nation because we are a nation
of immigrants; but immigration without assimilation makes
us weaker. Politicians from both parties talk big about border
security and do nothing. We are done with that.

9 Men are men, women are women, and
unborn babies are babies. We believe in
science: Men and women are biologically different,
“male and female He created them.” Modern technology has
confirmed that abortion takes a human life. Facts are facts,
the earth is round, the sun is hot, there are two genders,
and abortion stops a beating heart. To say otherwise is to
deny science.

10 Americans will be free to welcome God
into all aspects of our lives, and we will stop
all government efforts to deny our religious freedom and
freedom of speech. The Democrat Party and their Big Tech
allies are not merely secular; they have virtually created a
new religion of wokeness that is increasingly hostile toward
people of faith, particularly Christians and Jews. They are
determined to drive all mention of God out of public view.
We will not be silenced, canceled, or told what words to use
by the politically correct crowd.

GOP Senate candidate: ‘I identify more with Putin’s Christian values than Biden’s’

Lauren Witzke, the Delaware GOP's candidate for Senate in 2020, has nothing but praise for Putin and "his Christian nationalist nation"

During a recent interview, the Delaware GOP’s candidate for Senate in 2020 gave her thoughts on Russia’s aggression towards Ukraine, saying that when it comes to her values, she trusts Russian President Vladimir Putin over Joe Biden.

“Russia is a Christian nationalist nation … so I actually support Putin’s right to protect his people and always put his people first, but also protect their Christian values,” Lauren Witzke said in a video clip flagged by Right Wing Watch. “I identify more with Russian — with Putin’s Christian values than I do with Joe Biden.”

According to Witzke, “Christian nationalist countries” are a threat to the “global regime, like the Luciferian regime that wants to mash everything together.”

“But Putin takes care of his people, he looks out for his people,” she said.

Texas Republicans say that they believe trying to help transgendered youth deal with life in the US is child abuse, and are happy to lie to support that position.

'Paxton legal opinion on transgender youth uses misleading citations, "shocking" parallels'

The Texas attorney general's recent legal opinion that called transgender health care for minors "child abuse" cited sources in a misleading way and drew parallels that researchers say simply do not exist, according to an analysis by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a legal opinion on Feb. 18, saying that certain types of gender-affirming health care, including puberty blockers and surgery, should be classified as child abuse when used for minors. Several days later, Gov. Greg Abbott issued a letter directing state agencies to investigate transgender health care for youth as abuse.

Gender-affirming care can include a host of services, from counseling sessions to surgery. However, surgeries are rare for minors, and medical experts already recommend that such surgeries be delayed until after a transgender person turns 18.

In his non-binding opinion, Paxton cites a number of sources, including research articles, to bolster his argument. Researchers say some of these citations were inaccurate.

One researcher said Paxton distorted her work for political purposes and that she's "mortified" her research was included in the opinion.

Alexandra Minna Stern, a professor of history at the University of Michigan, studies the history of forced sterilization in the United States. Paxton's office drew a parallel between forced sterilization and gender affirmation surgeries for minors.

"I'm adamantly opposed to this interpretation and it does not align with my research and the conclusions of my research," she said. "If they knew anything about my scholarship more generally, they would know that I am someone whose research demonstrates the harm of the very types of policies they're trying to enact on marginalized people."

The attorney general's office did not return requests for comment.

An unsympathetic review of former Attorney General Barr's book of lies.

'Bill Barr’s New Book: More Reputation Make-over Than Truth'

Trump Attorney General William Barr is trying to tease us in advance of his book’s publication next week. Don’t buy it.

From reports quoting advance copies of One Damned Thing After Another, due for release on March 8, Barr’s book is the latest front in his charm offensive to sanitize his reputation. He’s distancing himself from Trump now, but as AG, Barr empowered Trump and worked hard to get him re-elected. The damage Barr did can’t be minimized by a memoir.

Let’s compare what he now writes with what he did.

His book reportedly says that Trump was “off the rails” and showed he had “neither the temperament nor persuasive powers to provide the kind of positive leadership that is needed,” so the Republican party should move on.

Barr is quoted as writing, “We need leaders . . . who can frame . . . an uplifting vision.” And then there’s this telling sentence: “[T]he pandemic threw into bold relief Trump’s deficiencies as leader — showcasing his failings, not his strengths.”

Remember that Trump began to “showcase” his leadership “failings” fighting Covid in February 2020, when he told the nation that infections would soon be “close to zero” and that Covid “would disappear” in April.

April came and Covid remained. So he pointed the finger of blame at governors.

Despite those early 2020 “deficiencies as [a] leader,” two months later, Barr went above and beyond the call of duty in support of Trump’s reelection efforts. In June 2020, Barr was the civilian general surveilling Lafayette Park when police and the military stampeded peaceful demonstrators so that Trump could take a campaign photo-op holding a Bible in front of St. John’s Church.

The same month, Barr, in a Wolf Blitzer interview, amplified Trump’s Big Lie. Barr asserted, without evidence, that mail-in ballots are so subject to fraud that expanding access to them would result in a non-secure election.

In October 2020, Barr told friends he hoped to stay on as AG if Trump won re-election.

He only turned on Trump after it was clear that he had lost. On December 1, 2020, Barr announced publicly that there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud.

...

First to mind is Barr’s March 2019 Mueller investigation whitewash, which salvaged, in whole or in part, the presidency of someone Barr now calls an “incorrigible” narcissist. Two federal judges described Barr’s Mueller Report presentation as “distorted” and “misleading.” Those are jurists’ polite terms for someone not telling the truth.

Consider how many times that Barr served as Trump’s Hatchet Man, the title of former federal prosecutor Elie Honig’s book about Barr’s 2019-2021 tenure as Attorney General.

In September 2019, Barr tried to bury a CIA whistleblower’s complaint about Trump’s extortionate call to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelinskyy, trying to get him to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

In December 2019, Barr unleashed an unprecedented public attack on his own department’s Inspector General for contradicting Trump’s original Big Lie, that the FBI had no legitimate basis to investigate his 2016 Campaign’s coordination with Russia.

In June 2020, former United States Attorney Barbara McQuade of the Eastern District of Michigan said that Barr “exposed himself as a lying bully” when he botched his attempt to fire then-U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman of the Southern District of New York. Word was that Berman was investigating potential criminal wrongdoing by Trump lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
