PRIDE Alert: "Family-friendly" "Pride" event organizers cancel an event in Florida, because they're "worried" about the new law signed by DeSantis stating that businesses can lose their licenses if they put on shows featuring nudity or simulated sex in public.

But this is a "family-friendly" event, supposedly! Surely you weren't planning on showing naked men and simulated gay sex in a "family-friendly" event, were you?

Apparently that was the plan, so they're cancelling.

DeSantis also just signed a bill into law forbidding trans "care" for minors.

If you really cared about them, you'd try to cure their psychological comorbidities first before rushing to pump them full of hormone blockers.

What a loss.

Merrick Garland's corrupt criminal enterprise, streetname, "the DOJ," will commemorate the death of St. George of the Holy Fentanyl Overdose with a new policy to stop effective law enforcement.

The Justice Department plans to release its new anti-discrimination policy for federal law enforcement officers on the May 25 anniversary of George Floyd's death, the Daily Caller has learned.

The DOJ's announcement is deliberately scheduled to honor Floyd's death, a source familiar with the proceedings told the Daily Caller. The source requested anonymity for fear of professional retribution.

Under the new policy, federal law enforcement officers will be prohibited from using neighborhood crime statistics in law enforcement activities and will be banned from considering ethnicity when developing sources within foreign terrorist organizations, the Daily Caller previously reported.

So I can't recruit a Muslim to infiltrate a mosque? In other words: You just don't want America to investigate jihadists at all, any longer. You want to free up those resources to focus on the real enemy, conservatives. I mean, "Domestic Violent Extremists." The Democrats have been nearly open in their desire to legalize Islamic terrorism, but this is a new, brazen low.

Karine Jean-Pierre is asked about the Durham report, and flees the podium.

Dianne Feinstein is so senile she doesn't know she's been absent from work.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on Tuesday told reporters that she's been at the Capitol working and voting, apparently unaware that she's spent months away this year due to health problems.

Feinstein, 89, returned to the Senate just last week after spending nearly three months away from Washington, DC, recovering from a bout of shingles.

When asked by a reporter Tuesday about the reception she's received from colleagues upon her return, Feinstein lashed out at the journalist and provided answers indicating that she was seemingly unaware that she had been out.

"No, I haven't been gone," Feinstein said. "You should follow the -- I haven't been gone. I've been working."

When asked if she meant that she'd been working from home, the senior senator from California responded, "No, I've been here. I've been voting. Please. You either know or don't know."

Her handlers might be telling her that she's going to work every day, just before she has a nap.

Four Democrats have earmarked millions of federal dollars for companies that just so happen to employ their corrupt, greedy, chiseling spouses.

Hillary's running mate Tim Kaine (wait, is that right?) is among the worst of them:

At least four Democrats in Congress have sponsored millions of dollars in federal spending projects for organizations that employed their spouses over the last two years, according to a new report.

Sen. Tim Kaine and Reps. Pete Aguilar, Jason Crow, and Mike Thompson -- all Democrats -- helped steer the money through earmarks, a political term for provisions that members of Congress write into law directing federal funds to specific local projects in their states and districts, The Messenger first reported.

The findings reportedly came from more than 1,000 pages of congressional appropriations records as part of an analysis comparing congressional records that identify sponsors of earmarks with the personal financial disclosure forms filed by lawmakers. The financial disclosure forms require lawmakers to identify sources of income for themselves and their spouses.

Kaine sponsored two earmarks totaling nearly $3.5 million for George Mason University, where his wife, former Virginia Secretary of Education Anne Holton, worked as interim president from 2019-20. Holton is currently a professor in the university's Schar School of Policy and Government and its College of Education and Human Development.D.C.

The House Ways and Means Committee Chairman, Jason Smith, demands that the IRS chief explain and defend his retaliation against officials investigating Hunter Biden.

A top House Republican wants the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to clarify what is happening with the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden after lawyers for a whistleblower within the agency claimed his team got removed from the case.

Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) is requesting an "urgent briefing" from IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel's office to address concerns about possible retaliation.

"These allegations are extremely serious. Such retaliation not only discourages whistleblowers from coming forward to Congress but can also constitute an illegal violation of statutory protections for whistleblowers," Smith wrote in a letter to Werfel on Tuesday. The letter was published by Just the News.

Politico: Democrats are split on whether parents should be informed of their daughters' abortions. Politico covers this as a straight news story because they return, briefly, to objective reporting when it concerns a division in the Democrat Party. Obviously Politico would attack Republicans on this issue.

In fact, they find a way to make Republicans the real villains here:

Democrats have been eager to present a united front in support of abortion rights in the post-Roe era.

But as many legislative sessions come to a close, state lawmakers are divided over whether children and teenagers should be able to have an abortion without telling their parents.

Some Democrats see repealing parental notification and consent laws as a political liability, particularly as conservatives push "parents' rights" to win popular support for changing school curricula and banning certain books from libraries.

Democrats' reticence is frustrating some abortion rights advocates who want lawmakers to do whatever they can to expand access as red and purple states -- including Florida, Nebraska, North Carolina and South Carolina -- debate or pass new restrictions on the procedure. The clash also comes as access to mifepristone, one of the two drugs used together to terminate a pregnancy, remains in jeopardy as the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals hears arguments on the pills on Wednesday.

"Broadly, every person in our caucus is pro-reproductive freedom. It's always when you get into the details that things become negotiable," said Minnesota state Sen. Erin Maye Quade, a Democrat, who introduced a wide-ranging reproductive health care bill that included repealing the state's parental notification law.

"Details." Like partial-birth abortion. Just a "detail."

Although as pertains to partial birth abortion: there can be no negotiation about that "detail"! That is sacrosanct!

Alex Berenson also links this thread, in which a self-professed SCIENCE LOVER claims that the vaccines must be safe, because back in 1981, Mount St. Helens exploded and people were killed because they had doubted the scientists' warning that it could explode.

This guy really SCIENCED ALL OVER YOUR WHORE-FACE with that galaxy-brain take.
