DeSantis administration is revoking liquor license of Orlando ‘sexual’ drag show venue.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (FLV) – Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office said the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation is “revoking” the Orlando Philharmonic Plaza Foundation’s liquor license after a “sexual” drag show permitted entry to minors.
The department said the venue exposed and promoted lewd, obscene, and sexual acts to minors.
“Governor DeSantis stands to protect the innocence of children, and the governor always follows through when he says he will do something,” Press Secretary Bryan Griffin said in a statement.
The complaint said that during the show, “children appearing to be less than 16 years of age”  were exposed to performers wearing “sexually suggestive clothing and prosthetic female genitalia.”
They also alleged that “children appearing to be less than 6 years of age” were permitted entry, exposing them to sexual performances.
“A Drag Queen Christmas” toured several Florida cities including Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Clearwater. Some of the shows were marketed to children prior to the performances. The Orlando show took place Dec. 28.
The department listed the instances where children were exposed to “simulated sexual activity” and “indecent displays,” including:

    •    “Intentionally” exposing prosthetic female breasts and genitalia to the audience.
    •    “Intentionally” exposing performers’ buttocks to the audience.
    •    “Stimulating masturbation through performers’ digitally penetrating prosthetic female genitals.”
    •    “Graphic depictions of childbirth and/or abortion.”
Another aspect of the complaint pointed to the “Screwdolph the Red-Nippled Reindeer” song. They cited some of the lyrics, including:
    •    “You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen Vomit and Stupid and Dildo and Dicks-in…”
    •    “Screwdolph the Red-Nippled Reindeer, had a very shiny bust…”
    •    “Then one soggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say ‘Screwdolph with your nipples so bright won’t you guide my sleigh tonight.'”

The complaint said videos were projected on screens behind the performers including images of “exposed female breasts with less than a fully opaque covering, portrayals of simulated masturbation, and other sexually explicit content.”
They said the show contained sexually explicit themes and prurient content presented through sexualized adaptations of popular children’s Christmas songs.
Multiple children were spotted by Florida’s Voice at the Orlando event.
Florida’s Voice reporter Amber Jo Cooper was removed from the venue without reason.
At the Orlando event, Florida’s Voice witnessed explicit performances, despite warnings sent from the administration ahead of the show.
During one performance, one of the drag queens said “just throw your wiener on me,” making a sexual joke to the other drag queen. Many performers were wearing little clothing with prosthetic body parts, and thongs.

He should have stopped her long before he did and asked her to answer the question. The Conservatives are too damn nice.

Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) tweeted about some lapel pins he had made and he was giving them out on the House floor and obviously Democrats were ‘triggered’ and some of them were pissing in their pants.
Rep. Eric Swallowell (Dumbass- CA) tried to be a smartass and ask the question that most Democrats and liberals are obsessed with when they talk to other Democrats, “Why is it so small?”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) defended her colleague who was too nice to respond to Swallowell in kind.
Republicans and Conservatives need to TAKE OFF THE DAMN GLOVES.

Poor Ilhan Omar has been denied a seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
“I certainly did not or was not aware that the word ‘hypnotized’ was a trope,” the congresswoman told CNN’s Dana Bash this week. “I wasn’t aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money. That has been a very enlightening part of this journey.”
And what a journey it’s been. It’s merely happenstance, Omar would have you believe, that she — along with her bestie, Rashida Tlaib, a woman who gets a “calming feeling” when thinking about the Holocaust’s aftermath and believes pro-Zionist Jews exploit “regular Americans” for “their profit,” etc. — keeps tripping into old-school Jew-baiting. What are the odds?
Omar’s been living in the United States since her early teens. She graduated from high school in a major American city. She earned a B.A. from North Dakota State University in political science and international studies. One assumes she’s consumed plenty of American culture over the years. You’re telling me that in all this time, in all her many interactions as an academic “fellow” and a government employee, she never once heard a stereotype about Jews hypnotizing nations or being motivated by money? That’s quite an accomplishment.
Of course, Omar shouldn’t have lost her seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee because she believes rootless cosmopolitans are brainwashing the world for the “Benjamins.” She should have lost it for downplaying 9/11, “Some people did something.” and equating the United States with theocratic terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Taliban. She is neither ideologically nor morally prepared for the job. She was denied a seat because Nancy Pelosi created a new precedent by not only denying Kevin McCarthy his choices for the Jan. 6 committee, effectively creating a show trial, but also stripping Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene of their committee appointments over ugly things they said. Republicans should unseat Omar using her standards.
When Democrats introduced a resolution to strip Lauren Boebert of all House committee assignments over a stupid bigoted joke about Omar, the congresswoman told CNN’s Jake Tapper that “we should punish and sanction Boebert by stripping her of her committees, by rebuking her language, by doing everything that we can to send a clear and decisive message to the American public that, if the Republicans are not going to be adults and condone — condemn this, that we are going to do that.”
When Democrats had a chance to be adults and “send a clear and decisive message” to the American public about Omar’s bigotry, they backed a watered-down resolution teeming with platitudes denouncing the treatment of Alfred Dreyfus and Leo Frank, and condemning anti-Japanese discrimination during World War II, Islamophobia and the America First Committee, but not Omar. And that’s fine. Congressional resolutions are performative nonsense. Every member can tell us what he thinks directly. But other than occasional tepid rebukes from some fellow Jewish Democrats, Omar has been exempted from any meaningful criticism.
Omar’s rhetoric is already the norm in academic and activist leftist circles, so it’s unsurprising. She could read the Hamas Charter into the Congressional Record and her defenders would claim she was merely being “critical” of Israel. No matter what she says, no matter how often she lies, the partisans at The Washington Post will contend criticism of her is “inextricable from her religion.” The bigot is actually the victim.
Of course, Omar has the right to believe anything she likes. Her constituents have the right to keep sending her to Congress. And the House majority has the right to refuse her seats on committees. McCarthy can unilaterally deny Adam Schiff, perhaps the most corrupt person in Congress, and Eric Swalwell, a man duped by a ChiCom honeypot, from serving on the intelligence committee, but a full House vote was needed to deny Omar a seat. Maybe it’s a bad idea to make a habit of blocking partisan committee appointments. But so is unilateral disarmament.

Well, they didn't just shoot it down, they shot it down over water deep enough where it probably "won't be found" and they shot the equipment package, you can see the sparkling debris in the better videos, not the balloon, so anything they "probably won't find" wouldn't be of any use anyway. Biden probably got paid millions to allow this balloon to map out and surveille our missile bases.

Living close to wind farms can lead to a greater risk of heart disease, panic attacks and migraines, according to a 2022 UK study.
The farms can cause 'wind turbine syndrome', the symptoms of which also include tinnitus, vertigo and sleep deprivation, research to be published later this year claims.
Dr Nina Pierpoint, a leading New York pediatrician, says her five-year study of people living near wind turbines in the U.S., Britain, Italy, Ireland and Canada has led her to believe that they can also trigger nightmares in children and stop their brains developing properly.
There are 219 wind farms in Britain, and Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband has plans for around 4,000 extra turbines to be installed.
Dr Pierpoint, a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, believes turbines are dangerous because the low frequency sounds they emit interfere with the ear's vestibular system, which controls our sense of balance.
These sounds, which are too low frequency for the human ear to hear, cause a group of symptoms she calls 'visceral vibratory vestibular disturbance', or VVVD.
They cause problems such as quivering, nervousness, fear, a compulsion to flee, chest tightness and tachycardia or increased heart rate.
The noise from turbines can also trigger nightmares and other disorders in children as well as harm cognitive development in the young, she claims.
But she said: 'There is no doubt that my clinical research shows that the infrasonic to ultrasonic noise and vibrations emitted by wind turbines cause the symptoms which I am calling wind turbine syndrome.
'The wind industry will try to dis-credit me, but I can cope with that. This is not unlike the tobacco industry dismissing health issues from smoking.'
She added: 'It's been gospel among acousticians for years that if a person can't hear a sound, it's too weak for it to be detected or registered by any other part of the body.
'But this is no longer true. Humans can hear through the bones. This is amazing. It would be heretical if it hadn't been shown in a well-conducted experiment.'
Dr Pierpoint argued that future wind farms should be built at least two kilometres (1.2 miles) from homes.
Most scientists believe there is no health risk from wind turbines, saying her analysis is based on a sample size which is far too small to draw any conclusions.
Her study is based on 38 people. But she has received backing for her findings, with Professor Lord May, former chief scientific adviser to the Government, describing her research as 'impressive, interesting and important'.
And Dr Christopher Hanning, founder of the British Sleep Society, said the research should be required reading for all planners considering wind farms.
'Like so many earlier medical pioneers exposing the weaknesses of current orthodoxy, Dr Pierpoint has been subject to much denigration and criticism,' he said.
A spokesman for the British Wind Energy Association said: 'An independent study on wind farms and noise in 2007 found only four complaints from around 2,000 turbines in the country.
'Wind turbines are quite safe and sustainable. It is not surprising that, according to a recent report, 94 per cent of people who live near wind turbines are in favour of them.
'There is no scientific research to suggest that wind turbines are in any way harmful.'

The maps of our missile bases have been public since the bases were built. Satellites can surveille better than a balloon can, and Biden got paid millions for selling out his my country long before this distraction came down the pike. But yeah, it ain't right.

They can get really good clear photos from low altitude balloons, they've done it and we've done it. I never said Biden hadn't ALREADY made millions, but that doesn't stop him from making MORE millions.
