Florida Blogger Bill Similar to Nazi Germany & Russian Laws
Florida Bill proposed which targets Bloggers who write about Florida Republicans and Governor DeSantis is similar to 1933 Nazi Germany’s “Editors Law” and forced registration with the Russian Media office in 2014 by War Criminal & Fascist Dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
This Bill is a Unconstitutional Abuse of Power violation of the First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech.
Florida bill would require bloggers who write about governor, legislators to register with the state
A Republican state senator in Florida has introduced a bill that, if passed, would require bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, his cabinet or state legislators to register with the state.
Per the above article; “Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines.
“The bill defines a blog as “a website or webpage that hosts any blogger and is frequently updated with opinion, commentary, or business content,” but it says the “term does not include the website of a newspaper or other similar publication. If a blogger posts to a blog about an elected state officer and receives, or will receive, compensation for that post, the blogger must register” with the appropriate office within five days of the post, the legislation says”.
It defines “elected state officer” as “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature.” Failing to register would result in a fine of $25 a day, and the penalty would be capped at $2,500 per posting, NBC affiliate WFLA of Tampa reported.
Brodeur stated to the publication, Florida Politics: “Paid bloggers are lobbyists who write instead of talk. They both are professional electioneers. If lobbyists have to register and report, why shouldn’t paid bloggers?”
Here’s my response to this BULLSHIT –
- Like most blog sites, this site doesn’t receive ONE CENT in income. Most bloggers post articles out of sheer passion to express their opinions and expose wrong-doing
- Real lobbyists are paid 10’s of thousands of dollars so Brodeur’s comparison is uninformed, asinine and ridiculous
- This law is a clear violation of a bloggers’ Civil Rights and First Amendment Rights to Freedom of Speech. There will be multi-billion dollar lawsuits filed against the State of Florida and lot’s of BAD press using this as PROOF how Republicans are Anti-Freedom of speech, Anti-democratic FASCISTS if it’s passed.
- Language in Brodeur’s bill is vague addressing whether bloggers who receive no income would be subject to this bill.
- The bill doesn’t make it made clear if this law would retroactively apply to existing posts or only new ones.
- The bill doesn’t make it made clear if this law would apply to blogs located only in Florida or throughout the United States
- This law would be difficult to enforce. Almost all website owners’ data is hidden (and that’s perfectly legal). Therefore, there’s almost no way Florida officials could tell which blogs are in Florida and which are out of state. Attempts to enforce this law would likely result in harassment of website owners and the response will be lawsuits, more public outrage and more bad press for DeSantis and Florida Republicans.
- Most bloggers will not register with the state of Florida so they can be placed on a “enemies list” and harassed. DeSantis has proven, he’s an out-of-control Wannabe Hitler Dictator with a Napoleonic Complex who retaliates against anyone who criticizes him. (e.g. Retaliation against Disney, Tampa Bay Rays, Berating Students for wearing masks & Florida Police raiding the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data).
This bill violates every principle of Republican “limited government” policies. It reinforces the public perception that Florida Republicans are Anti-Democratic Authoritarian Fascists who are taking away people’s freedom and attempting to use BIG GOVERNMENT to micro-manage and legislate every aspect of people’s lives.
Ron Kuby, a First Amendment lawyer in New York, said the law would not survive a court challenge if it is passed. “It’s hard to imagine a proposal that would be more violative of the First Amendment,” Kuby said. “We don’t register journalists. People who write cannot be forced to register”
Florida Republicans, ARROGANT and DRUNK with power, believe they can pass Unconstitutional Laws with impunity. Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich who was indicted on corruption charges in 2009, proves that State Officials CAN be held accountable and arrested for Abuse of Power.
Complaints WILL be filed to the Attorney General of United States Department of Justice and President Biden for Abuse of Power against Florida Republicans if this unconstitutional law is passed.
After paying InfoWars blogger $37K, Florida Rep. Jason Brodeur files bill requiring bloggers to register with state
Brodeur was found in 2019 to have paid $37K to an Orlando blogger ahead of his election
“After paying InfoWars blogger $37K, Florida Rep. Jason Brodeur files bill requiring bloggers to register with state”. It appear Brodeu’s motivation for creating this bill was retribution against bloggers as detailed in the article above.
Florida’s Dangerous Anti-Blogger Bill Is Blatantly Unconstitutional
Contrary to what Gov. Ron DeSantis might believe, the Constitution still applies in Florida.
Per the above article: “Contrary to what Ron DeSantis might believe, the Constitution still applies in Florida. It’s hard to think of any legislation that’s more in violation of the First Amendment than this bill from the governor’s allies. That said, it’s not surprising that the same politicians who favor banning books from public schools and libraries and removing any mention of slavery and racial injustice from courses at state universities would want to further restrict free speech and press freedom in this way.
“This draconian legislation attacking the rights of journalists and other media makers represents a frightening new strain of authoritarianism in the United States. Whether it’s Texas legislation that would ban internet providers from connecting to websites offering abortion information or moves to take away people’s right to protest in Georgia, efforts to undermine our constitutional freedoms are finding a foothold in GOP-controlled states across the country.
“When people believe their voices aren’t being heard in mainstream forums and their rights aren’t being upheld by politicians they often take to alternative means — including blogging — to express their opinions and be heard. The Florida legislation and other bills like it are clearly designed to silence these dissenting voices and those of others who aren’t represented in more traditional political arenas.
“Florida’s anti-blogger bill is part of a larger culture war that’s driven by disinformation and intent on dividing our country and silencing the opinions of people without power. This dangerous legislation should be deep-sixed long before it ever reaches a courtroom. Bills like this are blatantly unconstitutional, deeply un-American and completely unjust. We have to fight such horrible bills and call out the politicians pushing them, who seek to entrench the views and prejudices of a privileged few while stripping away the rights of everyone else.”
Florida to CREATE REGISTRY of Bloggers Who Criticize Ron DeSantis!
Jesse talks about an insanely fascistic bill being proposed in Florida, requiring bloggers (who criticize the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature) to register with the government. This is a clear and flagrant violation of the 1st Amendment and a dangerous departure from liberal democracy!
Florida Moves One Step Closer to Full Fascism
Florida Republican Jason Brodeur wants any blogger who write about Ron DeSantis to register with the state.
Florida Republicans Get Closer To Making It ILLEGAL To Criticize Ron DeSantis
A Republican lawmaker in Florida has introduced legislation that would require any “blogger” that publishes a story about Governor DeSantis or any member of his administration or the state legislature to register with the state. The writer would have to file monthly reports of what they wrote, who published it, and who paid them. This is a step in the direction of making it illegal to criticize the state’s government, as Farron Cousins explains.
RED ALERT: Florida Republicans want to force bloggers to “register” with the state
DeSantis’ Putin tactics with crackdown on media
A controversial new proposal in Ron DeSantis’s Florida would require bloggers who write about DeSantis or other state government officials to register with the state and disclose who’s paying them and how much. Critics say it’s all part of a larger DeSantis crusade against free speech and the press and even comparing it to a Putin law.
‘Ron DeSantis Is A Mean Spirited Bully’
In a pandemic, wearing a mask to a public event is totally normal, right? Wrong, apparently, if you’re in an enclosed space with the Florida governor. Dawn Marshall joins Mehdi Hasan to respond to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis bullying her teenage son for masking up.
DESANTIS FLORIDA: WHERE FREEDOM GOES TO DIE!
- Dystopian Laws Attacking Freedom of Speech to SILENCE & SUE Critics
- Culture Wars and “Woke” BULLSHIT
- Anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights
- Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms, such as the “Don’t say Gay” law. These laws doesn’t fix any existing problems, they’re a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG Government regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult.
- Law mandating public colleges and universities survey students and faculty about their Political Beliefs (FL HB 233)
- Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated. (Bill 1467)
- DeSantis Hostile Takeover of Liberal New College of Florida is following the playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
- Indoctrinate Educators with Radical Right Wing Ideology. (Per news reports) Encouraged by DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools.
- Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities is being condemned by academics & historians across the U.S. (Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
- DeSantis has publicly called for putting cameras and microphones into classrooms to monitor teachers. He wants more surveillance in every part of our lives, empowering legislators to police classrooms, doctor’s offices, the workplace.
- Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
- Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize DeSantis
- Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule similar to how Dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
- Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ which would require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state and put on an ‘enemies list’. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.
- Attacking Freedom of Speech – Bill HB 991 to significantly weaken libel laws. Critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Bill 991 also gives Florida residents the right to sue others (both in the state or elsewhere in the U.S.) who describe their actions online as transphobic or homophobic, for $35,000 and would not allow the truth to be used in defenses against such lawsuits.
- Retaliated against Disney for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech, stripping Disney of 50+ years self-governing authority after Disney stated opposition to the ‘Don’t say Gay’ law which limits discussing LGBTQ issues in schools.
- Right Wing figures installed on the board of former Disney district. This is the same tactics used in Anti-Democratic Fascists Dictatorships
- Retaliated against the Tampa Bay Rays for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by blocking state money to their training facility after team tweeted against gun violence
- Florida Police raided the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data claims.
- Transgender athlete discrimination Laws
- Florida Senate Bill 254 would allow the state to take Trans children receiving gender-affirming care away from Parents
- Anti-Protesting Laws making protesting a felony & allowing protestors can be run over & killed with no consequences. This law was passed to silence and intimidate anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression (similar to Russia and North Korea)
- DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
- Felons Victimized by Republicans and DeSantis “Voter Fraud Crackdown”. Per an article at commondreams.org, “Most who were arrested were approved by the Florida Department of Elections, which sent their voter registration cards ahead of the 2020 elections. All were charged with third-degree felony voter fraud, a crime punishable by as many as five years behind bars and up to a $5,000 fine. The ACLU of Florida stated, “The arrests are a grotesque abuse of power by Gov. DeSantis”.
- Using Migrants as Props. Per an article at theguardian.com, “DeSantis should be prosecuted for his treatment of immigrants. Those conspiring with him appear to have acted criminally under Texas law. Title 5, section 20 of the Texas penal code defines the crime of unlawful restraint. Under the statute, a person is restrained if their movement is restricted without their consent by, among other means, moving the person from one place to another. Restraint is without consent “if it is accompanied … by deception”. Under the statute, the violation is a class A misdemeanor, unless the person restrained is younger than 17, in which case it is a felony. According to reporting, there were children among those criminally transported to Martha’s Vineyard”.
- DeSantis fought for and was given the authority to redraw Congressional districts to rig elections in Republican’s favor. This resulted in House Seats being stolen from Democrats. Another example of how Republicans know they can’t win elections unless they CHEAT because their policies are UNPOPULAR.
Video shows how Democracy is DESTROYED by Power Hungry Wanna-Be Dictators
October 04, 1933 – German Propaganda Ministry Editors Law
The German Propaganda Ministry (through its Reich Press Chamber) assumed control over the Reich Association of the German Press, the guild which regulated entry into the profession. Under the new Editors Law, the association kept registries of “racially pure” editors and journalists, and excluded Jews and those married to Jews from the profession. Propaganda Ministry officials expected editors and journalists, who had to register with the Reich Press Chamber to work in the field, to follow mandates and specific instructions handed down by the ministry. In paragraph 14 of the law, the regime required editors to omit from publication anything “calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home.” [source: encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/timeline-event/holocaust/1933-1938/editors-law]
Putin signs law forcing bloggers to register with Russian media office

As stated above… in 2014, Putin signed law forcing bloggers to register with Russian media office.
More proof Florida Republicans following in the footsteps of German and Russian FASCISTS and are DESTROYING Democracy in the United States.
Any attempt to harass or silence this site would be a violation of the site owner’s CIVIL RIGHTS and 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS and will be reported to the United States Department of Justice, exposed on Social Media, Billboards and reported to worldwide news media outlets. If Bill 1316 is signed into law and blog owners are harassed, a Multi-Billion Dollar CLASS ACTION Lawsuit will be filed against the State of Florida on behalf of ALL blog owners affected by Bill 1316.
Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State
Critics worry that the state will use the laws to silence critics in the country, which already has severely restricted free speech freedoms.
Per the article above: “Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State” is similar to how DeSantis and Florida Republicans want to silence critics. This is STILL the United States of America and NOT Russia (as it appears some RINO FASCIST Republicans wishes it would be).
Dictator Alexander Lukashenko used his warplanes to force a sovereign country’s plane, (Ryanair flight from Greece to Lithuania) to land in Minsk to ARREST Blogger / Journalist Roman Protasevich for writing articles critical of Belarus’s Brutal Dictator. This where Florida and the United States is headed unless these Anti-Democratic Fascist, Authoritarian, Radical Right Wing Republican BASTARDS are voted out and removed from office.
Is Florida’s blogger registration bill inspired by Viktor Orbán?
It wouldn’t be the first time Orbán’s authoritarian regime gave Florida Republicans some ideas.
Per the article above: Florida’s blogger registration bill is curiously similar to a section of a Hungarian law that requires media organizations to register with the government. The law, which was passed at the start of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s tenure in 2010, initially required news outlets to register before beginning to publish. (After blowback from the European Union and press freedom groups, it was amended in 2011 so that media organizations have to register within 60 days of starting up.) Could it be a basis for the proposed Florida law?
It wouldn’t be the first time Florida looked to Hungary. Orbán’s authoritarian government is in vogue on the American right and its illiberalism has already served as a template for Gov. Ron DeSantis and fellow Florida Republicans. The state’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay Law” was reportedly modeled in part on similar Hungarian legislation. And Rod Dreher, a right-wing figure who lives in Budapest, explained during an interview last year that a reporter told him they had “talked to the press secretary of Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida and she said, ‘Oh yeah, we were watching the Hungarians, so yay Hungary.’”
There are also parallels between Orbán and DeSantis’ efforts to push universities to the right. In 2018, for example, Orbán banned gender studies programs at universities. Last week, Florida Rep. Alex Andrade, a DeSantis ally, introduced a bill that would bar public universities from offering the major. Steve Bannon has called Orbán “one of the great moral leaders in this world.”
FIRE, an organization that has positioned itself as a more conservative-friendly alternative to the ACLU, called the bill an “affront to the First Amendment and our national commitment to freedom of the press.”
Florida Republicans threaten Freedom of Speech and First Amendment Rights with a new law to make it easier to sue journalist and social media using defamation lawsuits – 2/22/2023
Florida Republican Proposes Bill To Make It Easier For Ron DeSantis To Sue His Critics
A Republican Representative in the Florida statehouse has put forth legislation that would significantly weaken libel laws, and critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Legal scholars have trashed the bill, pointing out that a state cannot legally have different thresholds than federal legislation, making this bill all the more confusing.
Those accused of discrimination would have new protections under Florida bill
A bill proposed by a Republican lawmaker would change the meaning of “defamation per se.”
Florida Republicans PROVE they’re Anti-Democratic FASCISTS by introducing a bill to eliminate the Democrat Party, thereby creating ONE PARTY RULE similar to how DICTATOR Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary (more about this in detail below).
INCREDIBLE how Florida Republican Senator Blaise Ingoglia, who introduced the bill to ‘Cancel’ the Democratic party uses the ridiculous excuse of ‘Slavery’ when his party does everything possible to keep minorities from voting (details can be found in videos on this site).

Blaise Ingoglia filed “The Ultimate Cancel Act,” which according to the Tallahassee Democrat, “never mentions the word Democrat or Democratic, but would decertify any politica…
Per the above article: “Ingoglia suggested in a news release that his bill was designed to get back at Democrats and ‘leftist activists’ who he said had ‘been trying to ‘cancel’ people and companies for things they have said or done in the past,’ including ‘the removal of statues and memorials, and the renaming of buildings.’
Florida’s Democratic Party responded to the proposed measure in a statement saying, “Presenting a bill that would disenfranchise 5 million voters is both unconstitutional and unserious. Under Ron DeSantis, Senator Ingoglia is using his office to push bills that are nothing more than publicity stunts instead of focusing on the issues that matter most to Floridians.”
Although deemed “unserious” by the Florida Democrats, many Twitter users are unamused by the proposed legislation.
@Longjacket2: “people this is not a test – this is full blow Fascist WTF crazy! ‘Sen. Ingoglia is backing a bill in FL he calls the ‘Ultimate Cancel Act,’ ~ ban any political party that once included slavery in their platforms from running in the state, including the FL Democratic Party.”
@Patriot1690: “Members of the Maga GOP once again showing that if they ever take power again, they would do all they can to destroy democracy.”

Ken Burns Compares DeSantis Bills to ‘Soviet System’ on CNN: ‘The Way the Nazis Would Build a Potemkin Village’
Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns joined CNN on Tuesday and accused Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) of creating a Soviet-like system through his bills targeting materials available in public schools. DeSantis has been focused on introducing legislation specifically aimed at explicit and “woke” materials in schools. His efforts have earned major pushback as critics argue new strict guidelines can be used to target LGBTQ and Black history-related content. House Bill 999 would give more power to a university board of trustees over curriculum being taught and essentially ban controversial curriculum like Critical Race Theory.

Thom Hartmann explains how Victor Orbán and his Radical Right-Wing Party took over the once Democratic government in Hungary and turned it into a Anti-democratic Authoritarian Fascist One-Party-Rule Dictatorship where elections & the courts are rigged, all of the media is state controlled and praise for Victor Orbán Propaganda is seen everywhere.
DeSantis & Florida Republicans are following the playbook of Fascist
Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
Radical Right Wing Republican Ron DeSantis Hostile takeover of liberal New College of Florida is similar to Right Wing Fascist Autocrats playbook around the world, turning Florida into a Anti-Democratic Fascist Christian Nationalist State
Right Wingers around the world are systematically destroying Democracy, implementing One Party Rule with rigged elections, take-over of the News Media, Judiciary and take-over of Education, similar to what DeSantis and Republicans are doing in Florida.
Right’s Embrace of Authoritarianism
Videos show how Right-wingers turned Hungary into a anti-democratic fascist one-party-rule dictatorship. Trump & Republicans have followed the same playbook so it could happen here unless they are STOPPED. Republicans have passed laws to overturn / override election results in states they control and put partisans in control of counting the votes, allowing them to make sure only Republicans are declared the winner.
Hungary Is A Version Of What Trump Wants For The U.S.

If you’re curious about why Tucker Carlson is doing his show from Budapest, Hungary all week, so is Mehdi. Especially given that country’s recent history of doing away with democracy and rise of autocracy. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has become a favorite among Trump-loving ethno-nationalists. Yale’s Jason Stanley and authoritarian expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat break down why Orbán — and the fascination with Orbán — is so dangerous.
Republican Ron DeSantis ‘God made a fighter’ who was ‘Anointed By God’ Propaganda Political Ad really shows what DeSantis thinks of himself and what a danger to Democracy he is. DeSantis who claims he’s made Florida “one of the Freest States in American”, has taken away rights and made it one of the most oppressed!
“Dictators Playbook”
Per an article published by the Washington Post, “Anonymous criticism helped make America great” at washingtonpost.com/outlook/2018/09/08/anonymous-criticism-helped-make-america-great/
“Anonymous publication has been an essential feature of American democracy since its beginning. It has long allowed vulnerable voices to participate in public politics and speak truth to power. Indeed, anonymous debate was at the center of the revolutionary politics that led to American independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which enshrined the press freedoms that continue to protect anonymous speech today”.
“In the late 18th century, pseudonyms and anonymous sources filled the pages of newspapers. In fact, some of the most prominent Founding Fathers regularly used the shield of pseudonyms in political essays during the era of the American Revolution: Thomas Paine, John Dickinson, Alexander Hamilton, Arthur Lee, John Jay, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Influential texts such as “Common Sense,” the Federalist essays and the “Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania” essays were all published without an author’s byline”.

Although deemed “unserious” by the Florida Democrats, many Twitter users are unamused by the proposed legislation.
@Longjacket2: “people this is not a test – this is full blow Fascist WTF crazy! ‘Sen. Ingoglia is backing a bill in FL he calls the ‘Ultimate Cancel Act,’ ~ ban any political party that once included slavery in their platforms from running in the state, including the FL Democratic Party.”
@Patriot1690: “Members of the Maga GOP once again showing that if they ever take power again, they would do all they can to destroy democracy.”
@JordanAdams171: “This is downright authoritarian and fascism @GOP”
@JoePalank: “It’s refreshing to be able to say ‘oh, he’s a fascist’ as a statement of fact and not political opinion.”
Tim O’Hara: “This is so ridiculous even for the GOP.”
@TheMermaidAg: “Um Florida… y’all ok? You just wanna go all in on the whole fascism thing for real?”
Republican Ron DeSantis ‘God made a fighter’ who was ‘Anointed By God’ is Christian Nationalism Fascist Propaganda
This ad really shows what DeSantis thinks of himself and what a danger to Democracy he is. DeSantis who claims he’s made Florida “one of the Freest States in American”, has taken away rights and made it one of the most oppressed. Floridians re-electing DeSantis has helped reinforce his grandiose delusions.
DESANTIS & REPUBLICANS HAVE MADE FLORIDA THE MOST OPPRESSED, ANTI-DEMOCRATIC STATE
- Dystopian Laws Attacking Freedom of Speech to SILENCE & SUE Critics
- Culture Wars and “Woke” BULLSHIT
- Anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights
- Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms, such as the “Don’t say Gay” law. These laws doesn’t fix any existing problems, they’re a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG Government regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult.
- Law mandating public colleges and universities survey students and faculty about their Political Beliefs (FL HB 233)
- Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated. (Bill 1467)
- DeSantis Hostile Takeover of Liberal New College of Florida is following the playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
- Indoctrinate Educators with Radical Right Wing Ideology. (Per news reports) Encouraged by DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools.
- Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities is being condemned by academics & historians across the U.S. (Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
- DeSantis has publicly called for putting cameras and microphones into classrooms to monitor teachers. He wants more surveillance in every part of our lives, empowering legislators to police classrooms, doctor’s offices, the workplace.
- Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
- Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize DeSantis
- Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule similar to how Dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
- Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ which would require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state and put on an ‘enemies list’. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.
- Attacking Freedom of Speech – Bill HB 991 to significantly weaken libel laws. Critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Bill 991 also gives Florida residents the right to sue others (both in the state or elsewhere in the U.S.) who describe their actions online as transphobic or homophobic, for $35,000 and would not allow the truth to be used in defenses against such lawsuits.
- Retaliated against Disney for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech, stripping Disney of 50+ years self-governing authority after Disney stated opposition to the ‘Don’t say Gay’ law which limits discussing LGBTQ issues in schools.
- Right Wing figures installed on the board of former Disney district. This is the same tactics used in Anti-Democratic Fascists Dictatorships
- Retaliated against the Tampa Bay Rays for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by blocking state money to their training facility after team tweeted against gun violence
- Florida Police raided the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data claims.
- Transgender athlete discrimination Laws
- Florida Senate Bill 254 would allow the state to take Trans children receiving gender-affirming care away from Parents
- Anti-Protesting Laws making protesting a felony & allowing protestors can be run over & killed with no consequences. This law was passed to silence and intimidate anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression (similar to Russia and North Korea)
- DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
- Felons Victimized by Republicans and DeSantis “Voter Fraud Crackdown”. Per an article at commondreams.org, “Most who were arrested were approved by the Florida Department of Elections, which sent their voter registration cards ahead of the 2020 elections. All were charged with third-degree felony voter fraud, a crime punishable by as many as five years behind bars and up to a $5,000 fine. The ACLU of Florida stated, “The arrests are a grotesque abuse of power by Gov. DeSantis”.
- Using Migrants as Props. Per an article at theguardian.com, “DeSantis should be prosecuted for his treatment of immigrants. Those conspiring with him appear to have acted criminally under Texas law. Title 5, section 20 of the Texas penal code defines the crime of unlawful restraint. Under the statute, a person is restrained if their movement is restricted without their consent by, among other means, moving the person from one place to another. Restraint is without consent “if it is accompanied … by deception”. Under the statute, the violation is a class A misdemeanor, unless the person restrained is younger than 17, in which case it is a felony. According to reporting, there were children among those criminally transported to Martha’s Vineyard”.
- DeSantis fought for and was given the authority to redraw Congressional districts to rig elections in Republican’s favor. This resulted in House Seats being stolen from Democrats. Another example of how Republicans know they can’t win elections unless they CHEAT because their policies are UNPOPULAR.
Florida Blogger Bill Similar to Nazi Germany & Russian Laws
Florida Bill proposed which targets Bloggers who write about Florida Republicans and Governor DeSantis is similar to 1933 Nazi Germany’s “Editors Law” and forced registration with the Russian Media office in 2014 by War Criminal & Fascist Dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
This Bill is a Unconstitutional Abuse of Power violation of the First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech.
Florida bill would require bloggers who write about governor, legislators to register with the state
A Republican state senator in Florida has introduced a bill that, if passed, would require bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, his cabinet or state legislators to register with the state.
Per the above article; “Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines.
“The bill defines a blog as “a website or webpage that hosts any blogger and is frequently updated with opinion, commentary, or business content,” but it says the “term does not include the website of a newspaper or other similar publication. If a blogger posts to a blog about an elected state officer and receives, or will receive, compensation for that post, the blogger must register” with the appropriate office within five days of the post, the legislation says”.
It defines “elected state officer” as “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature.” Failing to register would result in a fine of $25 a day, and the penalty would be capped at $2,500 per posting, NBC affiliate WFLA of Tampa reported.
Brodeur stated to the publication, Florida Politics: “Paid bloggers are lobbyists who write instead of talk. They both are professional electioneers. If lobbyists have to register and report, why shouldn’t paid bloggers?”
Here’s my response to this BULLSHIT –
- Like most blog sites, this site doesn’t receive ONE CENT in income. Most bloggers post articles out of sheer passion to express their opinions and expose wrong-doing
- Real lobbyists are paid 10’s of thousands of dollars so Brodeur’s comparison is uninformed, asinine and ridiculous
- This law is a clear violation of a bloggers’ Civil Rights and First Amendment Rights to Freedom of Speech. There will be multi-billion dollar lawsuits filed against the State of Florida and lot’s of BAD press using this as PROOF how Republicans are Anti-Freedom of speech, Anti-democratic FASCISTS if it’s passed.
- Language in Brodeur’s bill is vague addressing whether bloggers who receive no income would be subject to this bill.
- The bill doesn’t make it made clear if this law would retroactively apply to existing posts or only new ones.
- The bill doesn’t make it made clear if this law would apply to blogs located only in Florida or throughout the United States
- This law would be difficult to enforce. Almost all website owners’ data is hidden (and that’s perfectly legal). Therefore, there’s almost no way Florida officials could tell which blogs are in Florida and which are out of state. Attempts to enforce this law would likely result in harassment of website owners and the response will be lawsuits, more public outrage and more bad press for DeSantis and Florida Republicans.
- Most bloggers will not register with the state of Florida so they can be placed on a “enemies list” and harassed. DeSantis has proven, he’s an out-of-control Wannabe Hitler Dictator with a Napoleonic Complex who retaliates against anyone who criticizes him. (e.g. Retaliation against Disney, Tampa Bay Rays, Berating Students for wearing masks & Florida Police raiding the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data).
This bill violates every principle of Republican “limited government” policies. It reinforces the public perception that Florida Republicans are Anti-Democratic Authoritarian Fascists who are taking away people’s freedom and attempting to use BIG GOVERNMENT to micro-manage and legislate every aspect of people’s lives.
Ron Kuby, a First Amendment lawyer in New York, said the law would not survive a court challenge if it is passed. “It’s hard to imagine a proposal that would be more violative of the First Amendment,” Kuby said. “We don’t register journalists. People who write cannot be forced to register”
Florida Republicans, ARROGANT and DRUNK with power, believe they can pass Unconstitutional Laws with impunity. Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich who was indicted on corruption charges in 2009, proves that State Officials CAN be held accountable and arrested for Abuse of Power.
Complaints WILL be filed to the Attorney General of United States Department of Justice and President Biden for Abuse of Power against Florida Republicans if this unconstitutional law is passed.
After paying InfoWars blogger $37K, Florida Rep. Jason Brodeur files bill requiring bloggers to register with state
Brodeur was found in 2019 to have paid $37K to an Orlando blogger ahead of his election
“After paying InfoWars blogger $37K, Florida Rep. Jason Brodeur files bill requiring bloggers to register with state”. It appear Brodeu’s motivation for creating this bill was retribution against bloggers as detailed in the article above.
Florida’s Dangerous Anti-Blogger Bill Is Blatantly Unconstitutional
Contrary to what Gov. Ron DeSantis might believe, the Constitution still applies in Florida.
Per the above article: “Contrary to what Ron DeSantis might believe, the Constitution still applies in Florida. It’s hard to think of any legislation that’s more in violation of the First Amendment than this bill from the governor’s allies. That said, it’s not surprising that the same politicians who favor banning books from public schools and libraries and removing any mention of slavery and racial injustice from courses at state universities would want to further restrict free speech and press freedom in this way.
“This draconian legislation attacking the rights of journalists and other media makers represents a frightening new strain of authoritarianism in the United States. Whether it’s Texas legislation that would ban internet providers from connecting to websites offering abortion information or moves to take away people’s right to protest in Georgia, efforts to undermine our constitutional freedoms are finding a foothold in GOP-controlled states across the country.
“When people believe their voices aren’t being heard in mainstream forums and their rights aren’t being upheld by politicians they often take to alternative means — including blogging — to express their opinions and be heard. The Florida legislation and other bills like it are clearly designed to silence these dissenting voices and those of others who aren’t represented in more traditional political arenas.
“Florida’s anti-blogger bill is part of a larger culture war that’s driven by disinformation and intent on dividing our country and silencing the opinions of people without power. This dangerous legislation should be deep-sixed long before it ever reaches a courtroom. Bills like this are blatantly unconstitutional, deeply un-American and completely unjust. We have to fight such horrible bills and call out the politicians pushing them, who seek to entrench the views and prejudices of a privileged few while stripping away the rights of everyone else.”
Florida to CREATE REGISTRY of Bloggers Who Criticize Ron DeSantis!
Jesse talks about an insanely fascistic bill being proposed in Florida, requiring bloggers (who criticize the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature) to register with the government. This is a clear and flagrant violation of the 1st Amendment and a dangerous departure from liberal democracy!
Florida Moves One Step Closer to Full Fascism
Florida Republican Jason Brodeur wants any blogger who write about Ron DeSantis to register with the state.
Florida Republicans Get Closer To Making It ILLEGAL To Criticize Ron DeSantis
A Republican lawmaker in Florida has introduced legislation that would require any “blogger” that publishes a story about Governor DeSantis or any member of his administration or the state legislature to register with the state. The writer would have to file monthly reports of what they wrote, who published it, and who paid them. This is a step in the direction of making it illegal to criticize the state’s government, as Farron Cousins explains.
RED ALERT: Florida Republicans want to force bloggers to “register” with the state
DeSantis’ Putin tactics with crackdown on media
A controversial new proposal in Ron DeSantis’s Florida would require bloggers who write about DeSantis or other state government officials to register with the state and disclose who’s paying them and how much. Critics say it’s all part of a larger DeSantis crusade against free speech and the press and even comparing it to a Putin law.
Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State
Critics worry that the state will use the laws to silence critics in the country, which already has severely restricted free speech freedoms.
Per the article above: “Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State” is similar to how DeSantis and Florida Republicans want to silence critics by making it easier to SUE them.
Similar to Florida Employees being threatened if they criticize Republican Ron DeSantis or tell the truth about Climate Change when Republican Rick Scott was Governor, during the invasion of Ukraine, Russia passed a law which would put people in prison for up to 15 years for criticizing Putin and Russia’s policies.
Democrats has never engaged in these type of restrictions or violations of Freedom of Speech. This commonality is found in oppressive RIGHT WING governments. It’s easy to see that Republicans are headed in this direction and would not hesitate to be just as extreme if given the opportunity.
Florida Republican Proposes Bill To Make It Easier For Ron DeSantis To Sue His Critics
A Republican Representative in the Florida statehouse has put forth legislation that would significantly weaken libel laws, and critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Legal scholars have trashed the bill, pointing out that a state cannot legally have different thresholds than federal legislation, making this bill all the more confusing.
Thom Hartmann explains how Victor Orbán and his Radical Right-Wing Party took over the once Democratic government in Hungary and turned it into a Anti-democratic Authoritarian Fascist One-Party-Rule Dictatorship where elections & the courts are rigged, all of the media is state controlled and praise for Victor Orbán Propaganda is seen everywhere.
DeSantis & Florida Republicans are following the playbook of Fascist
Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
Radical Right Wing Republican Ron DeSantis Hostile takeover of liberal New College of Florida is similar to Right Wing Fascist Autocrats playbook around the world, turning Florida into a Anti-Democratic Fascist Christian Nationalist State
Florida Republicans PUNISH Disney for Exercising 1st Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by criticizing Florida Republican’s “Don’t say Gay” law
When Disney’s chief executive Bob Chapek exercised his First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by criticizing the “Don’t say Gay” law, DeSantis and Florida Republicans RETALIATED by revoking Disney World’s designation as a special tax district which allowed Disney to self-govern the 25,000-acre resort since its founding. Using the Government to Punish people who speaks out against Government policies is Anti-Democratic, Authoritarian FASCISM
A Solution In Search Of A Problem’: DeSantis Goes After Disney’s Special Status
Fallout over Florida’s controversial new law that critics have called the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill continues. This is another example of how Republicans focus on divisive social issues instead of governing and actually doing things to improve people’s lives.
Republicans “Don’t say Gay” law is ‘A Solution In Search Of A Problem’ which doesn’t exist. It’s more Republican Authoritarian, Fascist BIG GOVERNMENT legislation to enslave and regulate every aspect of people’s lives.

Right Wing cronies installed on the former Disney board giving “Dictator” DeSantis control over a private business
DeSantis and Florida Republicans retaliated against the Tampa Bay Rays for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by blocking state money after the team tweeted against gun violence
Right Wingers around the world are systematically destroying Democracy, implementing One Party Rule with rigged elections, take-over of the News Media, Judiciary and take-over of Education, similar to what DeSantis and Republicans are doing in Florida.
Right’s Embrace of Authoritarianism
Videos show how Right-wingers turned Hungary into a anti-democratic fascist one-party-rule dictatorship. Trump & Republicans have followed the same playbook so it could happen here unless they are STOPPED. Republicans have passed laws to overturn / override election results in states they control and put partisans in control of counting the votes, allowing them to make sure only Republicans are declared the winner.
Hungary Is A Version Of What Trump Wants For The U.S.

POLL: Only 36% Of Republicans Support Freedom Of The Press
43% of Republicans think President Trump “should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,” while only 36% disagreed with the statement, according to an Ipsos poll
Trump Supporters Are Excited By The Idea Of Him Being A Dictator
Donald Trump did exactly what most of us expected, and he actually convinced his base that he SHOULD be a dictator if he gets back into office, and that it is somehow a good thing to trample on the Constitution. Ever since Trump first made his dictator comments, his supporters have been quick to defend and ultimately offer their praise of the comments, and that part isn’t dying down, either. A new poll also shows that a strong number of Iowa voters say that his rhetoric makes it MORE likely that they will support him.
Expert Compares Trump’s Politics to Fascism
Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains why he claims President Donald Trump’s politics are akin to fascism, a political movement based around a leader. 80+% of Republicans approve of Trump, even after he has LIED more than any other Politician in history (fact checkers claim over 30,000 false or misleading statements since becoming president).
GOP senator appears to be aligning with pro-Russian movement
Inside Hungary’s far-right movement
The radical narratives mounted by Hungary’s ruling Fidesz Party and far-right movements are gaining ground ahead of next year’s parliamentary elections. Euronews reporter Valerie Gauriat traveled to Hungary for the national Republic Day to hear from supporters and critics of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s hardline stance on immigration—and what it means to be Hungarian.
How To Dismantle A Democracy
If you’re curious about why Tucker Carlson is doing his show from Budapest, Hungary all week, so is Mehdi. Especially given that country’s recent history of doing away with democracy and rise of autocracy. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has become a favorite among Trump-loving ethno-nationalists. Yale’s Jason Stanley and authoritarian expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat break down why Orbán — and the fascination with Orbán — is so dangerous.
Republicans fit all of the Characteristics of Fascism described below
Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism – Article by Dr. Lawrence Britt
1. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
2. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
4. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
5. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
6. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
7. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
8. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
9. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
13. Manipulate & Control elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate & control elections.
14. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

- Right-wing Anti-democratic Fascist (most Republicans condone eliminating a free press and democracy)
- Suppress Women’s Rights (anti-abortion laws)
- Extreme Patriotism with tons of flags

Explosive new stats evidence in the January 6th committee probe was revealed. CNN obtaining more than 2,000 leaked text messages with Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows revealing communications before the riot and in the moments after it. From Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene asking Trump to declare martial law to Donald Trump Jr. asking to “condemn” the riot to Sean Hannity taking orders from Meadows.
FOX Refused to Air Jan. 6 Hearings to Keep Their Viewers In The Dark
While all major TV Networks committed to Air the Jan. 6 Hearings FOX Refused to Air them apparently to prevent their viewers from learning the truth about the extent of Republicans attempted coup to overthrow the U.S. Government and STEAL the 2020 Election.
25 years of dangerous lies from Fox News: “There is a direct pipeline from what appears on Fox News to the absolute worst manifestations, worst behavior, worst elements of our politics and society.”
The “Fox-Can-Lie Lawsuit” established that they are not required to be truthful by law. Since Fox has established that they have the legal right not to be truthful, Fox Opinion Hosts tells their conservative viewers that Democrats are “Radical Leftist Socialists” who want to take away your guns & freedom, that Republican policies are good for this country, that Trump’s a rational person and the MSM (Main Stream Media) such as ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post etc is “Fake News”. ALL the exact opposite of the TRUTH.
The FOX News Network is helping to destroy the United States & Democracy by promoting hate, conspiracy theories, omission of the facts to keep their viewers in the dark about the damage Republicans has been doing for the past 20 years and outright lies such as the 2020 election being “Stolen” and Trump “Won in a landslide”. Example shown on this page
Right-wing media use their platforms to demonize DEMOCRATS, the very people who fights for Middle Class and Poor Americans. They brainwash their viewers into believing the Mainstream Media is “Fake News”so they never watch legitimate news and learn the truth about the damage Trump and Republicans has been doing to our country while screwing over “the little guy”. Also, the more people who watches, the more money they can bring in for advertising because MORE VIEWERS = MORE PROFITS. And it helps Republicans get re-elected, against the best interests of middle class and poor Americans.
Republicans are LIARS who have NOTHING to offer except LIES, Divisive Social Issues, taking away Women’s Rights, Attacking / Demonizing LGBT’s, Cutting / Eliminating Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, giving Tax Breaks to RICH, Rigging Elections by Gerrymandering, Voter Obstruction and other anti-democratic tactics to prevent people from voting who aren’t likely to vote for them.
Republicans are bought and paid for by Huge Corporations and the RICH. The United States is Trillions of Dollars in Debt because of Republicans giving tax breaks to the Rich, refusing to make them pay their fair share and years of bloated military spending.

Former Extremist Nails Fox News For Marketing Hate
A former extremist named Frank Meeink now spends his time educating others about hate and working against the crowds he once ran with. And recently, he called out Fox News for doing little more than “re-marketing hate” to the American public. His assessment is spot on, as Fox News has always peddled in hate bordering on extremism, but they have brought plenty of the most extreme ideas from the hate crowd into the mainstream.

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice
From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception
Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.
Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.
But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”
“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”
“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”
The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.
Right Wing Media has been extremely effective in propagating and reinforcing Republican’s lies to brainwashed viewers.
Proof of how Republican’s policies are bad for working class people is how California Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Larry Elder ran on a platform of eliminating the minimum wage.
Fox News C.E.O.’s Strategy at Center of $1.6 Billion Lawsuit (Published 2022)
Suzanne Scott remade Fox News Media into a lucrative consumer brand. But a defamation suit against the company is a test of her strategy and leadership.
Per the above article from the New York Times; “Since Scott took over the top job at Fox News in 2018, her colleagues said, she has managed from behind the scenes with a simple mantra: Respect Fox’s audience. Often that involves sparing conservative viewers what they don’t want to hear — even when that means ignoring one of the biggest stories of the year.
That strategy has helped Fox News succeed not just as the most-watched cable news network in the country but also as a multibillion-dollar consumer brand with a suite of businesses that, according to a recent company promo for one product, offers fans “The World According to Fox.”
But Scott’s Fox News — a sanctuary for conservatives where few unpleasant facts intrude and political misinformation has spread — also looms large in a case that threatens Fox’s business and possibly Scott herself. She has emerged as one of the central figures in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox by Dominion Voting Systems, in which the voting company accuses Fox executives of juicing ratings and profits by repeatedly airing false information about Dominion machines siphoning votes away from former President Donald Trump”.
The FOX News Network has put PROFITS & PARTISANSHIP above PATRIOTISM and telling the TRUTH
Fox News Pundits Partisan Double Standards & Hypocrisy EXPOSED
After getting busted for text messages to Mark Meadows Fox News Pundits Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson whines about their “private” texts being exposed to the public.
Here’s a photo of Sean Hannity’s home in New York. According to celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/republicans/sean-hannity-net-worth, Hannity is worth $250 Million and his salary is $45 Million a year.
When you look at the lavish lifestyle Hannity lives, one can see why he has a vested interest in doing or saying what-ever it takes to maintain his lavish lifestyle.
Tucker Carlson acts like a Spoiled Brat Psychotic Punk in the above video cutting off an ex-cop, abruptly ending the interview when confronted with information which didn’t fit his narrative.

Two Fox News contributors resign after Tucker Carlson special
Stephen Hayes and Jonah Goldberg announced Sunday night that they have resigned from Fox News, saying that Tucker Carlson’s “Patriot Purge” propaganda film was the last straw.
Title from Youtube; “Why Tucker Carlson pretends to hate elites”
Description from Youtube; “Tucker Carlson has branded himself as a populist, condemning the “liberal elite” that he argues makes up the American “ruling class.” It’s a good shtick, and it’s helped him stand out from other Fox News hosts. But while Tucker decries the “elite” on his show, he regularly ignores major stories of Republican economic policies that harm the working class, choosing instead to focus on bogus culture war stories.
That isn’t an accident. Carlson’s show is meant to distract Fox News viewers from Republican economics, channeling their frustration and anger at groups that don’t deserve it. That kind of misdirection produces what Marxist theorists call “false consciousness”: when workers are tricked into accepting their own exploitation”.
When spoiled kids whine
Saying the White House “can’t not give us a pass,” Tucker Carlson shows why we need a better class of rich people
Per the above article; “Nothing says “spoiled child” like Tucker Carlson. The son of wealthy Republican William Carlson, a former Los Angeles television anchor who became the head of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and a U.S. ambassador, Carlson used his family connections to sail into journalism. Except for a brief moment when he seemed willing to ruffle the powers that be – his first George W. Bush profile for Talk magazine comes to mind – he has done nothing but afflict the afflicted and comfort the comfortable in his career. Examples of his partisan ethics abound, but my favorite was his shrill defense of Scooter Libby in the Valerie Plame case while never acknowledging that his father headed Libby’s defense fund. Wealthy Republican family values at work”.
Here’s a photo of Tucker Carlson’s home. Per an article at velvetropes.com/backstage/tucker-carlson-house; “Tucker Carlson’s house is 7,400 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. In the fully-enclosed backyard is a 40-foot heated swimming pool, a veranda, a flagstone terrace, a lush lawn, and perfectly manicured mature landscaping”.
According to celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/republicans/tucker-carlson-net-worth is worth $30 Million and his salary is $6 Million a year.
When you look at the lavish lifestyle Carlson lives, one can see why he has a vested interest to do / say what-ever it takes to maintain his lavish lifestyle. Also, having a show watched by millions of people carries enormous prestige, to the extent some people might be willing to abandon allegiance to county & decency.

We’re we’re not having to use scientific language. We’re not having to have this published so we can straight up say what it actually is. Fox news makes you stupid. Now, before I get into the details of this particular study, it is important to remember that over the years we have seen study after study, after study, that has confirmed that Fox news viewers are the least informed out of any other media consumers here in the United States.

It’s being made by a federal judge in the Southern District of New York and by Fox News’s own lawyers. U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil’s opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox’s lawyers: The “‘general tenor’ of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not ‘stating actual facts’ about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in ‘exaggeration’ and ‘non-literal commentary. ”

According to PolitiFact, Republicans Lie Three Times More Often Than Democrats.
The study found Republicans to be less trustworthy than Democrats, based on the number of false claims made during President Obama‘s second term.
The study, by Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) at George Mason University, took into account 100 PolitiFact-checked statements made by Democrats (46 claims) and Republicans (54 claims) in the first four months of Obama’s second term.
“PolitiFact rated 32% of Republican claims as “false” or “pants on fire,” compared to 11% of Democratic claims – a 3 to 1 margin. Conversely, Politifact rated 22% of Democratic claims as “entirely true” compared to 11% of Republican claims – a 2 to 1 margin”.
“A majority of Democratic statements (54%) were rated as mostly or entirely true, compared to only 18% of Republican statements. Conversely, a majority of Republican statements (52%) were rated as mostly or entirely false, compared to only 24% of Democratic statements”.
CMPA President Dr. Robert Lichter stated: “While Republicans see a credibility gap in the Obama administration, PolitiFact rates Republicans as the less credible party.”
The reason Republicans can get away with lying more than Democrats is because Republican constituents has been conditioned to not trust the “Liberal Media”. So they are more likely to not question lies from Republican politicians.
When the news media calls out Republicans lies, average Joe Republican voters feels the “Liberal Media” is picking on the person who’s lying and lets the lies slide.
Analysis: Telling lies has become the norm for today’s Republicans | CNN Politics
To assume lies would sink House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is to misunderstand the nature of today’s Republican Party: They actually demonstrate his credentials to lead it.
Per the above article: “To assume lies would sink House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is to misunderstand the nature of today’s Republican Party: They actually demonstrate his credentials to lead it.
For a minority party joining blue-collar voters driven by cultural resentment with affluent donors fixed on the bottom line, gaining and wielding power requires dissembling beyond the conventional equivocation that politicians in all parties have always used to amass popular support.
One of the GOP’s most successful political consultants of recent decades issued that judgment in a confessional 2020 memoir. Stuart Stevens titled his book: “It Was All a Lie.”
A Public Religion Research Institute poll earlier this year showed about one-fourth of Republicans are drawn to the bizarre fantasies of QAnon, a movement that contends Satan-worshipping pedophiles control the government and the media.
With the 2020 big lie, Republicans use false claims of fraud to pretend Trump didn’t lose at all. In fact, House Republicans have made telling the truth about the election a disqualification. They fired Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming as conference chair and ostracized Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, the two Republican members participating in a House committee investigation of January 6.”

Republican Candidates such as George Santos, Hershel Walker and J.R. Majewski all got caught Lying to get elected
Republicans lied about crime, inflation and taxes to get elected in the 2022 midterms, falsely blaming Democrats & President Biden.
Republicans Lied about Capital Riots, Blaming Antifa to deflect responsibility away from their own lies about the 2020 Election being “Rigged”, “Stolen” and “Trump Won in a Landslide” with NO PROOF to back up their false claims. It’s important to note that they hate Antifa because Republicans are Fascists who hate Democracy. Fascists around the world uses lies and conspiracy theories to advance Anti-Democratic Authoritarian Regimes (like Russia blaming Ukraine for the war Putin started).
Republican Rep. Jim Banks and Steve Scalise caught making outrageous LIES about Nancy Pelosi being responsible for delayed help from the National Guard on January 6, then try to blame Democrats for not investigating which blows up in their face.
At a Capitol Hill hearing, REPUBLICAN Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde (R) stated: “Watching the TV footage of those who entered the Capitol and walked through Statuary Hall showed people in an orderly fashion staying between the stanchions and ropes taking videos and pictures,” Clyde said. “You know, if you didn’t know the TV footage was a video from January the 6th, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit.”

Since Fox has established that they have the legal right not to be truthful, Fox Opinion Hosts tells their conservative viewers that Democrats are “Radical Leftist Socialists” who want to take away your guns & freedom, that Republican policies are good for this country, that Trump’s a rational person and the MSM (Main Stream Media) such as ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post etc is “Fake News”. ALL the exact opposite of the TRUTH.
The FOX News Network is helping to destroy the United States & Democracy by promoting hate, conspiracy theories, omission of the facts to keep their viewers in the dark about the damage Republicans has been doing for the past 20 years and outright lies such as the 2020 election being “Stolen” and Trump “Won in a landslide”. Example shown on this page
Right-wing media use their platforms to demonize DEMOCRATS, the very people who fights for Middle Class and Poor Americans. They brainwash their viewers into believing the Mainstream Media is “Fake News”so they never watch legitimate news and learn the truth about the damage Trump and Republicans has been doing to our country while screwing over “the little guy”. Also, the more people who watches, the more money they can bring in for advertising because MORE VIEWERS = MORE PROFITS. And it helps Republicans get re-elected, against the best interests of middle class and poor Americans.
Republicans are LIARS who have NOTHING to offer except LIES, Divisive Social Issues, taking away Women’s Rights, Attacking / Demonizing LGBT’s, Cutting / Eliminating Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, giving Tax Breaks to RICH, Rigging Elections by Gerrymandering, Voter Obstruction and other anti-democratic tactics to prevent people from voting who aren’t likely to vote for them.
Republicans are bought and paid for by Huge Corporations and the RICH. The United States is Trillions of Dollars in Debt because of Republicans giving tax breaks to the Rich, refusing to make them pay their fair share and years of bloated military spending.

Former Extremist Nails Fox News For Marketing Hate
A former extremist named Frank Meeink now spends his time educating others about hate and working against the crowds he once ran with. And recently, he called out Fox News for doing little more than “re-marketing hate” to the American public. His assessment is spot on, as Fox News has always peddled in hate bordering on extremism, but they have brought plenty of the most extreme ideas from the hate crowd into the mainstream.

Ex-Fox News analyst: Trump is a danger to the US
Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice
From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception
Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.
Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.
But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”
“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”
“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”
The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.
Right Wing Media has been extremely effective in propagating and reinforcing Republican’s lies to brainwashed viewers.
Proof of how Republican’s policies are bad for working class people is how California Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Larry Elder ran on a platform of eliminating the minimum wage.
Fox News C.E.O.’s Strategy at Center of $1.6 Billion Lawsuit (Published 2022)
Suzanne Scott remade Fox News Media into a lucrative consumer brand. But a defamation suit against the company is a test of her strategy and leadership.
Per the above article from the New York Times; “Since Scott took over the top job at Fox News in 2018, her colleagues said, she has managed from behind the scenes with a simple mantra: Respect Fox’s audience. Often that involves sparing conservative viewers what they don’t want to hear — even when that means ignoring one of the biggest stories of the year.
That strategy has helped Fox News succeed not just as the most-watched cable news network in the country but also as a multibillion-dollar consumer brand with a suite of businesses that, according to a recent company promo for one product, offers fans “The World According to Fox.”
But Scott’s Fox News — a sanctuary for conservatives where few unpleasant facts intrude and political misinformation has spread — also looms large in a case that threatens Fox’s business and possibly Scott herself. She has emerged as one of the central figures in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox by Dominion Voting Systems, in which the voting company accuses Fox executives of juicing ratings and profits by repeatedly airing false information about Dominion machines siphoning votes away from former President Donald Trump”.
The FOX News Network has put PROFITS & PARTISANSHIP above PATRIOTISM and telling the TRUTH

BOMBSHELL SCANDAL: Fox News Hosts Texted Meadows Amid Riot, Urged Intervention
The January 6th committee revealed text messages in which Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, and Brian Kilmeade begged Mark Meadows to get Trump to call off the riot while falsely claiming to their viewers that the rioters weren’t Trump supporters.
Fox News Pundits Partisan Double Standards & Hypocrisy EXPOSED
After getting busted for text messages to Mark Meadows Fox News Pundits Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson whines about their “private” texts being exposed to the public.
Here’s a photo of Sean Hannity’s home in New York. According to celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/republicans/sean-hannity-net-worth, Hannity is worth $250 Million and his salary is $45 Million a year.
When you look at the lavish lifestyle Hannity lives, one can see why he has a vested interest in doing or saying what-ever it takes to maintain his lavish lifestyle.
Tucker Carlson acts like a Spoiled Brat Psychotic Punk in the above video cutting off an ex-cop, abruptly ending the interview when confronted with information which didn’t fit his narrative.
You Literally Can’t Believe The Facts Tucker Carlson Tells You. So Say Fox’s Lawyers
Fox News viewers don’t expect facts from Tucker Carlson, according to network lawyers who defended their star in a slander lawsuit filed by a woman who said she had an affair with President Trump.
Per the above article; “You can’t expect to literally believe the words that come out of Carlson’s mouth. And that assertion is not coming from Carlson’s critics. It’s being made by a federal judge in the Southern District of New York and by Fox News’s own lawyers. U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil’s opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox’s lawyers: The “‘general tenor’ of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not ‘stating actual facts’ about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in ‘exaggeration’ and ‘non-literal commentary. ”

Two Fox News contributors resign after Tucker Carlson special
Stephen Hayes and Jonah Goldberg announced Sunday night that they have resigned from Fox News, saying that Tucker Carlson’s “Patriot Purge” propaganda film was the last straw.
Title from Youtube; “Why Tucker Carlson pretends to hate elites”
Description from Youtube; “Tucker Carlson has branded himself as a populist, condemning the “liberal elite” that he argues makes up the American “ruling class.” It’s a good shtick, and it’s helped him stand out from other Fox News hosts. But while Tucker decries the “elite” on his show, he regularly ignores major stories of Republican economic policies that harm the working class, choosing instead to focus on bogus culture war stories.
That isn’t an accident. Carlson’s show is meant to distract Fox News viewers from Republican economics, channeling their frustration and anger at groups that don’t deserve it. That kind of misdirection produces what Marxist theorists call “false consciousness”: when workers are tricked into accepting their own exploitation”.
When spoiled kids whine
Saying the White House “can’t not give us a pass,” Tucker Carlson shows why we need a better class of rich people
Per the above article; “Nothing says “spoiled child” like Tucker Carlson. The son of wealthy Republican William Carlson, a former Los Angeles television anchor who became the head of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and a U.S. ambassador, Carlson used his family connections to sail into journalism. Except for a brief moment when he seemed willing to ruffle the powers that be – his first George W. Bush profile for Talk magazine comes to mind – he has done nothing but afflict the afflicted and comfort the comfortable in his career. Examples of his partisan ethics abound, but my favorite was his shrill defense of Scooter Libby in the Valerie Plame case while never acknowledging that his father headed Libby’s defense fund. Wealthy Republican family values at work”.
Here’s a photo of Tucker Carlson’s home. Per an article at velvetropes.com/backstage/tucker-carlson-house; “Tucker Carlson’s house is 7,400 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. In the fully-enclosed backyard is a 40-foot heated swimming pool, a veranda, a flagstone terrace, a lush lawn, and perfectly manicured mature landscaping”.
According to celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/republicans/tucker-carlson-net-worth is worth $30 Million and his salary is $6 Million a year.
When you look at the lavish lifestyle Carlson lives, one can see why he has a vested interest to do / say what-ever it takes to maintain his lavish lifestyle. Also, having a show watched by millions of people carries enormous prestige, to the extent some people might be willing to abandon allegiance to county & decency.

Missouri Republicans OK with Kids Having Guns
Missouri Republicans voted against banning children of any age from open carrying guns in public without adult supervision. This is just another example of how Republicans are unfit to govern and hold power
Missouri State Rep. Donna Baringer (D) speaks to Yasmin after her Republican colleagues rejected a bill that would have banned minors from carrying guns on public land without adult supervision. “After it was voted down, I had quite a few law enforcement officers that were calling their Republican state representatives saying we need this.”
A proposal to ban minors from carrying some guns on public property without a 21-year-old present failed to advance this week, as Republican lawmakers decided not to include the proposed amendment in a broader crime bill. Missouri State Rep. Tony Lovasco, who voted against the bill, weighs in on NewsNation’s “On Balance.”

27 Killed, Gunman Dead at Sandy Hook Elementary Tragedy
Mass shootings in the US: A timeline
Texas rampage is among deadliest school shootings in U.S. history
In 2020, there were more than 19,000 gun-related homicides in the U.S., according to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s an average of 53 per day. There have been 213 mass shootings so far this year. The death toll in school mass shootings is also startling — since the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012, 77 students have been killed.
The GOP is the “Party of Death” by refusing to eliminate “Qualified Immunity”, so bad cops can be held personally accountable and SUED for their actions.
Republicans are partly responsible for the deaths Tyre Nichols, George Floyd, 12-year-old Tamir Rice and others due to refusing to eliminate “Qualified Immunity”, so bad cops can be held personally accountable and SUED for their actions.
Eliminating Qualified Immunity would make cops think twice about engaging in abusive conduct like they did to Tyre Nichols. If they knew they would be PERSONALLY SUED if they abused civilians, Tyre Nichols and other who were beaten and killed by Police may still be alive today.
REPUBLICANS wants to keep Qualified Immunity intact… DEMOCRATS want Qualified Immunity eliminated so bad cops can be held accountable.
Therefore REPUBLICANS are partly responsible for the deaths Tyre Nichols and other Police Brutality victims.
Ending Qualified Immunity Once and For All is the Next Step in Holding Police Accountable | ACLU
As we approach the first anniversary of the killing of George Floyd, ending the doctrine that often lets officers avoid accountability is critical.
Per the above article: “Ending Qualified Immunity Once and For All is the Next Step in Holding Police Accountable”
“Qualified immunity fosters an environment where government agents, including police, may feel empowered to violate people’s rights with the knowledge they will face few consequences. This erodes relationships with the community and diminishes the system’s credibility. Under qualified immunity, lives can be taken with impunity. It’s past time to heed the protesters’ signs, and end this doctrine once and for all”.
- President Biden has already committed to the creation of a national, model use-of-force standard as one of his racial equity priorities. The ACLU is currently lobbying Congress to pass legislation that ensures this model standard truly conforms to the best practices in the field by embracing the principles set forth in the PEACE Act, which would permit officers to use force only when necessary, proportional, and as a last resort, after less extreme alternatives are exhausted. That standard would not only apply to federal agents, it would provide incentives to state and local police departments to adopt the rule.
- Ayanna Pressley’s End Qualified Immunity Act would end qualified immunity for state and local actors.

- Tear babies away from their parents and lock them in cages, with no plan to reunite them.
- Silence doctors and strip reproductive healthcare away from millions of low-income people.
- Stand by while the maternal mortality rates skyrocket and women—especially Black women—die in childbirth.
- Deny affordable healthcare coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.
- Cut programs that feed hungry kids.
- Block access to HIV testing and treatment across the globe.
- Incite far-right violence with lies about abortion.

Opinion | DeSantis Allies Plot the Hostile Takeover of a Liberal College (Published 2023)
Chris Rufo’s “long march through the institutions” starts in Florida.
DeSantis Allies Hostile Takeover of a Liberal College
Per the article above: “New College of Florida has a reputation for being the most progressive public college in the state. On Friday, (DeSantis) announced six new appointments to New College’s 13-member board of trustees, including Chris Rufo, who orchestrated the right’s attack on critical race theory, and Matthew Spalding, a professor and dean at Hillsdale College, a conservative Christian school in Michigan with close ties to Donald Trump. (A seventh member will soon be appointed by Florida’s Board of Governors, which is full of DeSantis allies.)”
“The fight over the future of New College is about more than just the fate of this small school in Sarasota. For DeSantis, it’s part of a broader quest to crush any hint of progressivism in public education, a quest he’d likely take national if he ever became president. For Rufo, a reconstructed New College would serve as a model for conservatives to copy all over the country. “If we can take this high-risk, high-reward gambit and turn it into a victory, we’re going to see conservative state legislators starting to reconquer public institutions all over the United States,” he said. Should he prevail, it will set the stage for an even broader assault on the academic freedom of every instructor whose worldview is at odds with the Republican Party“.
Nothing says white-male privilege like the outrageous salary of New College president | Opinion
Florida voters wrote Republicans a blank check to remake the state’s education system – and grifter politicians are profiting from the deal, says Fabiola Santiago.
Per the above article: Nothing says white-male privilege like the outrageous salary of New College president Richard Corcoran
“Despite dropping out of the state’s top-ranked school, the University of Florida, Corcoran has held all of these high-profile political jobs: Pasco County legislator. Florida House Speaker. Education commissioner during Gov. Ron DeSantis’ first term. As a result of the culture-war circus Corcoran helped DeSantis stage — most recently, giving the once-reputable liberal-arts New College of Florida in Sarasota a conservative makeover — the influential politician has been appointed its interim president”.
“Nothing screams “white-male privilege” more blatantly than Corcoran’s outrageous paycheck. It’s more than twice that of his better-qualified predecessor, Patricia Okker, fired in the GOP’s hunt for liberals”.
“His salary: $699,000 to lead a small school of less than 700 students. And if he accomplishes the goals established for the troubled Honors College school, he’ll get a bonus of up to 15% of his annual salary. Plus, he’ll earn another $104,850 a year in retirement compensation. He’ll get $84,000 a year for housing and a $12,000 car allowance. Again, the perks are more than double what Okker’s were. And he’ll make more than $1 million if he still holds the job by the time his contract ends on Sept. 1, 2024”.
“Not bad for a Canadian brought to Florida at age 11 and who, according to his biography, went to religious schools you never heard of: Catholic liberal-arts Saint Leo College in Florida and Christian Regent University in Virginia, founded by Pat Robertson in 1977”.

Encouraged by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools
LIST OF DESANTIS & REPUBLICANS ANTI-DEMOCRATIC FASCIST LAWS & POLICIES AGAINST DEMOCRACY & FREEDOM OF SPEECH
- Dystopian Laws Attacking Freedom of Speech to SILENCE & SUE Critics
- Culture Wars and “Woke” BULLSHIT
- Anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights
- Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms, such as the “Don’t say Gay” law. These laws doesn’t fix any existing problems, they’re a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG Government regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult.
- Law mandating public colleges and universities survey students and faculty about their Political Beliefs (FL HB 233)
- Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated. (Bill 1467)
- DeSantis Hostile Takeover of Liberal New College of Florida is following the playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
- Indoctrinate Educators with Radical Right Wing Ideology. (Per news reports) Encouraged by DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools.
- Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities is being condemned by academics & historians across the U.S. (Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
- DeSantis has publicly called for putting cameras and microphones into classrooms to monitor teachers. He wants more surveillance in every part of our lives, empowering legislators to police classrooms, doctor’s offices, the workplace.
- Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
- Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize DeSantis
- Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule similar to how Dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
- Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ which would require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state and put on an ‘enemies list’. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.
- Attacking Freedom of Speech – Bill HB 991 to significantly weaken libel laws. Critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Bill 991 also gives Florida residents the right to sue others (both in the state or elsewhere in the U.S.) who describe their actions online as transphobic or homophobic, for $35,000 and would not allow the truth to be used in defenses against such lawsuits.
- Retaliated against Disney for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech, stripping Disney of 50+ years self-governing authority after Disney stated opposition to the ‘Don’t say Gay’ law which limits discussing LGBTQ issues in schools.

- Florida Police raided the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data claims.
- Transgender athlete discrimination Laws
- Florida Senate Bill 254 would allow the state to take Trans children receiving gender-affirming care away from Parents
- Anti-Protesting Laws making protesting a felony & allowing protestors can be run over & killed with no consequences. This law was passed to silence and intimidate anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression (similar to Russia and North Korea)
- DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
- Felons Victimized by Republicans and DeSantis “Voter Fraud Crackdown”. Per an article at commondreams.org, “Most who were arrested were approved by the Florida Department of Elections, which sent their voter registration cards ahead of the 2020 elections. All were charged with third-degree felony voter fraud, a crime punishable by as many as five years behind bars and up to a $5,000 fine. The ACLU of Florida stated, “The arrests are a grotesque abuse of power by Gov. DeSantis”.
- Using Migrants as Props. Per an article at theguardian.com, “DeSantis should be prosecuted for his treatment of immigrants. Those conspiring with him appear to have acted criminally under Texas law. Title 5, section 20 of the Texas penal code defines the crime of unlawful restraint. Under the statute, a person is restrained if their movement is restricted without their consent by, among other means, moving the person from one place to another. Restraint is without consent “if it is accompanied … by deception”. Under the statute, the violation is a class A misdemeanor, unless the person restrained is younger than 17, in which case it is a felony. According to reporting, there were children among those criminally transported to Martha’s Vineyard”.
- DeSantis fought for and was given the authority to redraw Congressional districts to rig elections in Republican’s favor. This resulted in House Seats being stolen from Democrats. Another example of how Republicans know they can’t win elections unless they CHEAT because their policies are UNPOPULAR.
Embattled Florida parents to America: You’re next if DeSantis wins!
Alex Wagner looks at the agenda Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has laid out for his state and his disingenuous pushback on criticism of his cultural crusade as parents of students at New College of Florida caution the rest of America that if DeSantis succeeds in making an example of their school, Republicans everywhere will try to follow suit.
Florida Teachers Afraid, Confused As REPUBLICAN DeSantis Politicizes Curriculum
Alex Wagner travels to Florida to talk with Don Falls, a teacher who has joined a lawsuit against Ron DeSantis’ “Stop Woke Act” that has put teachers in fear of being punish for teaching factual history, and Jennifer Jenkins, a school board member who has personally experienced the threats and intimidation by Republican activists using culture war excuses as cover for a political power grab.

Jelani Cobb, dean of the Columbia Journalism School, talks with Alex Wagner about how Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ efforts to erase Black history in the United States by intimidating librarians, teachers, school boards and universities risks pushing Florida and its Southern associations back into the past and undercutting the ability of Southern schools to draw competent, reputable faculty.
Professor slams DeSantis for quashing Black history education
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is trying to control the type of education that Florida students can receive, most recently rejecting an advanced placement course in African-American studies, claiming it was “contrary to Florida law” and “significantly lacking educational value.” The law he is referring to seems to be the “Stop Woke Act” that basically gives him the power to downplay the true racial history of America. This has impacted many educators, but there are some in the state who refuse to back down. Dr. Marvin Dunn, one of the preeminent historians in Florida, is saying “Bring it on.”
Schools Are Fighting Back Hard Against REPUBLICAN Attacks
Republicans have spent the past few years attacking public education – and teachers, especially – as part of their ongoing assault on the LGBTQ+ community. And school districts have finally had enough, and they are working tirelessly to fight back against the onslaught of attacks, lies, and conspiracy theories that Republicans are spreading about our school systems
REPUBLICANS in Oklahoma are taking the suppression of education to a whole new level, with new legislation that would allow teachers to be fined $10,000 for teaching anything that goes against Christian beliefs, which would include basic biology lessons. It would also be illegal for teachers to raise money from outside sources to pay the fines, and they would also likely be fired for offenses – and each individual student’s families could sue for $10,000. This is not just obscene, it is an attack on public education and teachers.
REPUBLICAN State Bills To Limit What Teachers Can Say
Republicans across the country have introduced 137 pieces of legislation at the state level trying to limit what teachers are legally allowed to teach their students. Discussions about race, gender, and sexual orientation are being outlawed in areas where Republicans have the numbers to pass the legislation. This is going to set our education system back generations, and experts believe it will soon lead to a mass exodus of teachers all over America.
REPUBLICANS Wants to Regulate What You Can Say in Classrooms

Tennessee REPUBLICANS Draft Bill To ARREST Teachers For Teaching
Republicans in Tennessee have taken the assault on teachers to another level by backing legislation that would make it a criminal offense for teachers to teach “ban books.” The books would designated by the state (Republicans) and any teacher that is caught teaching them would be hit with a misdemeanor charge for first offense, which also carries a penalty of up to $50,000. The attack on education is getting extreme, and not enough people are paying attention, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins points out.
Florida is BANNING MATH BOOKS & Blaming it on Critical Race Theory!

Tucker Carlson Explicitly Calls For Violence Against Teachers
Fox News has ramped up their violent rhetoric against teachers, and host Tucker Carlson became the first on the network to specifically call for violence against teachers. Carlson asked openly why children’s fathers weren’t going in and “thrashing” the teachers that he claims are imposing sexuality on students – a claim echoed by many Republicans without any evidence whatsoever.
Party Lawmakers Banning Books To Ease ‘White Discomfort’
REPUBLICAN lawmakers in 22 states have unveiled bills to limit teachings about race and sexuality in public schools. Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye” and Art Spiegelman’s “Maus” have now joined the list of works banned by local school boards for so-called “objectionable” content.
REPUBLICANS War With Books And ‘Critical Race Theory’ In Schools
Former assistant U.S. attorney Maya Wiley and democratic strategist Basil Smikle on Republican efforts to ban books and limit what teachers can teach about racism and sexism.
Per Wikipedia, the definition of Fascism is; “a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce. Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete and they regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party”.
Republicans fit all of the Characteristics of Fascism described below
Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism – Article by Dr. Lawrence Britt
1. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
2. Identification of Enemies / Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
4. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
5. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
6. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
7. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
8. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
9. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
13. Manipulate & Control elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate & control elections.
14. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
REPUBLICANS ARE LIKE ISLAMIC TERRORISTS
Radical Right Wing, Trump Supporting Republicans can be easily spotted in Pick-up Trucks with flags (similar to Islamic Terrorist in pick-up trucks with flags).
Republican ARE America’s TALIBAN
Lawless Radical Right-Wing MAGA Trump supporters smash into another car during a crazed attack attempting to run Biden campaign bus off the road. Note the FLAGS on Truck similar to those of ISIS Islamic Terrorists.
Here’s a few of the behaviors and ideologies Republicans, The Taliban and Islamic ISIS Terrorist have in common;
- Bullies
- Religious extremists (such as Christian Evangelists)
- Extremists who resort to Violence to get their way (January 6, 2021 riots to overturn legitimate election which their leader, Trump lost)
- Right-wing Anti-democratic Fascist (most Republicans condone eliminating a free press and democracy)
- Suppress Women’s Rights (anti-abortion laws)
- Extreme Patriotism with tons of flags
POLL: Only 36% Of Republicans Support Freedom Of The Press
43% of Republicans think President Trump “should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,” while only 36% disagreed with the statement, according to an Ipsos poll
Trump Supporters Are Excited By The Idea Of Him Being A Dictator
Donald Trump did exactly what most of us expected, and he actually convinced his base that he SHOULD be a dictator if he gets back into office, and that it is somehow a good thing to trample on the Constitution. Ever since Trump first made his dictator comments, his supporters have been quick to defend and ultimately offer their praise of the comments, and that part isn’t dying down, either. A new poll also shows that a strong number of Iowa voters say that his rhetoric makes it MORE likely that they will support him.
Right’s Embrace of Authoritarianism
Expert Compares Trump’s Politics to Fascism
Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains why he claims President Donald Trump’s politics are akin to fascism, a political movement based around a leader. 80+% of Republicans approve of Trump, even after he has LIED more than any other Politician in history (fact checkers claim over 30,000 false or misleading statements since becoming president).
Fiona Hill Discusses how Democracy in the United States is Under Assault
This video gives insight into the oppressive laws Republicans has been passing in recent years such as anti-voting laws to rig elections in their favor, anti-abortion, anti-LGBT laws and how Russia shares many of the same anti-democratic ideals and values held by Republicans.
Republican Party of Oppression
Republicans Partly Responsible for Tyre Nichols Death
Republicans are partly responsible for the deaths Tyre Nichols, George Floyd, 12-year-old Tamir Rice and others due to refusing to eliminate “Qualified Immunity”, so bad cops can be held personally accountable and SUED for their actions.
Eliminating Qualified Immunity would make cops think twice about engaging in abusive conduct like they did to Tyre Nichols. If they knew they would be PERSONALLY SUED if they abused civilians, Tyre Nichols and other who were beaten and killed by Police may still be alive today.
REPUBLICANS wants to keep Qualified Immunity intact… DEMOCRATS want Qualified Immunity eliminated so bad cops can be held accountable.
Therefore REPUBLICANS are partly responsible for Tyre Nichols death.
Ending Qualified Immunity Once and For All is the Next Step in Holding Police Accountable | ACLU
As we approach the first anniversary of the killing of George Floyd, ending the doctrine that often lets officers avoid accountability is critical.
Per the above article: “Ending Qualified Immunity Once and For All is the Next Step in Holding Police Accountable”
“Qualified immunity fosters an environment where government agents, including police, may feel empowered to violate people’s rights with the knowledge they will face few consequences. This erodes relationships with the community and diminishes the system’s credibility. Under qualified immunity, lives can be taken with impunity. It’s past time to heed the protesters’ signs, and end this doctrine once and for all”.
- President Biden has already committed to the creation of a national, model use-of-force standard as one of his racial equity priorities. The ACLU is currently lobbying Congress to pass legislation that ensures this model standard truly conforms to the best practices in the field by embracing the principles set forth in the PEACE Act, which would permit officers to use force only when necessary, proportional, and as a last resort, after less extreme alternatives are exhausted. That standard would not only apply to federal agents, it would provide incentives to state and local police departments to adopt the rule.
- Ayanna Pressley’s End Qualified Immunity Act would end qualified immunity for state and local actors.
Fmr. NYPD Det.: Tyre Nichols’ video is ‘toxic police culture manifest’
Phillip Atiba Goff, Marq Claxton, and Jelani Cobb join MSNBC’s Ali Velshi to discuss the “aggressive physical force” displayed on video by the officers who fatally beat Tyre Nichols after a traffic stop, the “toxic police culture” that caused another deadly police encounter and the lack of ability to enact meaningful change to prevent future incidents.
New data shows that American police officers killed 1,176 civilians in 2022
At least 1,055 people were shot and killed by police during 2021, the highest number since the Washington Post began tracking killings by police officers.
Video shows police in Buffalo, NY shoving a 75-year-old man to the ground during a protest. Seconds later, a pool of blood can be seen near his head. If Police knew they would be sued for bad conduct, they above incident probably wouldn’t have happened. This is just one (1) example of how holding cops personally responsible for bad conduct could make a huge difference.
Police brutality in the US – in 90 seconds
Militarization of Police: When Tyranny Comes Home
Since the end of the Cold War, SWAT teams have proliferated across the United States and the number of no-knock raids on private citizens has risen dramatically. Abby Hall and Chris Coyne explain that this is the result of the boomerang effect– the process by which, in the absence of strong formal constraints, tactics used in foreign interventions abroad are later used to limit the liberties of people back home.
REPUBLICAN TRUMP’S AMERICA… a POLICE state where Citizens were ATTACKED and MURDERED by Police, the Military, Unidentified Secret Police Attacking and Illegally Detaining Citizens
In totalitarian regimes, the police are brutal, have de-facto immunity and lack of accountability is by design. We see the same type of conduct in the United States because Republicans are by nature, RUTHLESS
Republicans Use Debt Limit to Cut Social Security & Medicare
Republicans are holding the Nation’s economy hostage by refusing to raise the Debt Ceiling unless they get cuts to Social Security & Medicare
If it weren’t for Republicans Tax Cuts for the RICH and refusing to make them pay their fair share, we’d have the money we need to pay our nations bills and wouldn’t need to raise the Debt Limit.
Former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich explains the longtime Republican plan to slash Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Government Shutdowns are in Republican’s DNA and they’ve been using the threat of “Shutting Down the Government” to get their way since Bill Clinton was President
Demands by House Republican to negotiate over a debt ceiling limit increase are deeply hypocritical, since a significant portion of that debt was added during Donald Trump’s presidency. They’re essentially refusing to pay bills already committed, some of which THEY’RE responsible for generating. Republican actions might also violate the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, as Ken Harbaugh explains.
Rep. Khanna slams GOP demanding spending cuts in exchange for raising debt limit ceiling
Kevin McCarthy is playing with fire over America’s debt ceiling. Joy and her panel explain how after maxing out the national credit card when they were in charge, Republicans are threatening to simply stop paying America’s bills with dire consequences.
Sen. Warren: Republicans are threatening to wreck our economy to protect a wealthy handful
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., joins Morning Joe to discuss why she says the House Republican plan for the debt ceiling is about protecting the wealthy and the well-connected from paying their fair share in taxes.
National Debt exploded under REPUBLICANS Ronald Reagan & George H.W. Bush due to excessive military spending and tax breaks for the RICH.
This was all part of the “Two Santa Clauses” plan whereby they run up the debt & cut taxes when a Republican is President so they are viewed as a good “Santa Clause”. Then when a Democrat is President, Republicans scream about the National Debt, refuse to increase the debt ceiling, shut down the government if necessary to stop Democrats from spending any money on social programs which could help working Americans. Be sure to watch the SHOCKING video below about this.
REPUBLICANS increase the National Debt with excessive military spending and tax breaks to the RICH so there’s no money for Social Programs which benefit the middle class & the poor
GOP demolished with debt facts: Trump and Bush drove the trillion dollar deficits
After Trump’s historic spending spree, the GOP now calling for cuts under Biden. MSNBC’S Ari Melber shows you how Trump is responsible for 25% of U.S. debt, rising by $7 trillion and explains how the party of Reagan became the party of MAGA brinksmanship.
The national debt was increased by a projected 8 Trillion by Trump and Republicans due to military spending and tax breaks for the RICH
Republicans and Right Wing Media has fooled a large segment of the United States population into believing the GOP is the Party of “Working Class” people when it’s actually the party of the RICH and RULING CLASS
Republicans Lying About Social Security
The above video explains how for the past 40 years since Ronald Reagan was President, Republicans have been victimizing Americans using a tactic called the “Two Santa Clauses”, whereby they run up the debt & cut taxes when a Republican is President so they are viewed as the good “Santa Clause”. Then when a Democrat is President, Republicans scream about the National Debt, refuse to increase the debt ceiling, shut down the government if necessary to stop Democrats from spending any money on social programs which could help working Americans.
In this way, Republicans are literately punishing Americans for voting for Democrats who are dedicated to helping the middle class and the poor while doing everything possible to make sure Democrats can’t help the middle class and the poor, to make them look like the “Bad Santa Clause”.
This is another example of how Republicans are RUTHLESS… ONLY caring about seizing, maintaining power, being subservient to Corporate Interests and the RICH.
Inventor Of Trickle Down Economics Says Trump’s Tax Plan Is “Dead on Arrival”
David Stockman, the economist who developed the theory of trickle down economics during the Reagan administration, says that Trump’s tax plan is a giveaway to the wealthy elite and that it will result in an economic downturn. Stockman has admitted that his theory of trickle down economics is implausible, and he regrets the damage that his policy has caused this country.
Trump Tax Cuts Add WAY More Debt Than Advertised
“Experts” low-balled the amount of debt the Republican tax plan would entail.
The above video explains how George W. Bush took Democrat’s and Bill Clinton’s budget surplus and exploded the debt by almost 10 Trillion, doing what Republicans always do…. giving Tax Breaks to the Rich (as shown in the graphs below) and then tanked the economy.
As shown in these graphs, Republicans are responsible for reckless spending and will NEVER have a balanced budget due to their “Trickle Down Economics”, “Starve the Beast” and “Two Santa Clauses” tactics.
Obama calls out Republicans for Causing Deficits and Debts
The Grover Norquist Tax Pledge which says Republicans shall never raise taxes helped skyrocket the Debt.
In an original broadcast essay, Bill says there’s more to Grover Norquist’s anti-tax pledge than ideology or principle — it’s also about Norquist’s efforts keep taxes low for his donor base of billionaires.
In this chart, the RED lines on the left side – the ones that keep doing DOWN – show what happened to jobs under the policies of Bush and the Republicans. We were losing lots and lots of jobs every month, and it was getting worse and worse. The BLUE lines – the ones that just go UP – show what happened to jobs when the stimulus was in effect. We stopped losing jobs and started gaining jobs, and it was getting better and better.
The leveling off on the right side of the chart shows what happened as the stimulus started to wind down: job creation leveled off at too low a level.
It looks a lot like the stimulus reversed what was going on before the stimulus. We have gone from losing around 850,000 jobs a month to gaining over 200,000 jobs a month.
Conclusion: THE STIMULUS WORKED BUT WAS NOT ENOUGH!
More False Things
These are just three of the false things that everyone “knows” because places like Fox News repeat them over and over and over. Some others are (click through): Obama bailed out the banks, businesses will hire if they get tax cuts, health care reform cost $1 trillion, Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme or is “going broke”, tax cuts grow the economy, government spending “takes money out of the economy.”
Actually This Reduced Spending And Lower Deficit Have Hurt The Economy
Government spending is literally, by definition, the things that government does to make our lives better. People have been tricked into thinking that government spending is somehow bad. The billionaires and giant corporations spread this nonsense around because they are greedy and just want their taxes lower. The top income tax rate used to be more than 90 percent and the top corporate tax rate used to be more than 50 percent. That was back when we built this country’s great infrastructure, had good schools and defended the world against the Soviet Union. We also had higher economic growth and a growing middle class.
Government spending does not “take money out of the economy.” In fact it puts money into the economy, creates jobs and lays the foundation for future prosperity. The decline in government spending shown in the charts above is the reason that the economy remains sluggish and jobs are still hard to get. Just look at that chart showing what the stimulus spending did for the job situation. But since the stimulus ended, Republicans have obstructed every effort to continue to use our government to help our economy.
WASTING TRILLIONS ON THE MILITARY
