Florida is right to bar biological males from biological females sports, prisons & washrooms. They're stealing their identity.

- August 09, 2024, 11:18:45 AMQuote from: DKG on August 09, 2024, 07:13:04 AMRon DeSantis signs anti-woke law to stop banks from freezing Floridians' bank accounts based on their politics.
"We reject a global elite trying to force their ideology on us by capturing major institutions," DeSantis, who has led an aggressive campaign against so-called "woke" ideology in the Sunshine State, said when signing HB 989 into law.
"We are not going to allow big banks to discriminate based on someone's political or religious beliefs."
But while DeSantis claims he's fighting discrimination, the U.S. Treasury has labeled the Florida law — and other similar laws under consideration in mostly conservative states like Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana and South Dakota — as a potential threat to national security.
DeSantis' goal with HB 989 was to "strengthen Florida's protections for consumers ... from being forced to adopt ideologies or reflect a preferred political behavior."
Per an Associated Press report, DeSantis said the law will protect the access that conservative groups and the firearms industry have to the financial sector — and stop them from having their accounts frozen or closed.
The law makes it illegal for banks to "deny or cancel, suspend, or terminate its services to a person, or to otherwise discriminate against a person in making available such services" on the basis of several factors, including (but not limited to):
The person's political opinions, speech, or affiliations
Any factor if it is not a quantitative, impartial, and risk-based standard, including any such factor related to the person's business sector.
The person's engagement in the lawful manufacture, distribution, sale, purchase, or use of firearms or ammunition
The person's engagement in the exploration, production, utilization, transportation, sale, or manufacture of fossil fuel-based energy, timber, mining, or agriculture
It also allows Floridians to appeal "unwarranted account cancellations and restrictions" through a coordinated complaint and investigatory process within the state's Office of Financial Regulation.
The Treasury has openly criticized the new Florida law and any other state laws that bar financial institutions from carrying out necessary risk assessments.
In a July letter to lawmakers, obtained by the Wall Street Journal, Treasury Undersecretary Brian Nelson reiterated the importance of banks being able to probe customers in order to prevent money laundering and counter terrorist financing.
A person's politics is not risk assessment. It's part of the nefarious cancel culture.
Fuk the treasury. IT IS A THREAT to America!

- June 21, 2024, 07:56:38 AMA woman in Florida may soon be fired from her job with the Broward County school district after she apparently allowed her son to play on the girls' volleyball team at his high school.
Last November, Jessica Norton was one of several members of the faculty and staff at Monarch High School near Fort Lauderdale to be reassigned to jobs at "non-school sites" after then-Superintendent Peter Licata discovered that a boy may have been playing on the school's girls' volleyball team.
That boy turned out to be Norton's son, though she routinely refers to him as her "daughter." She also indicated that his name and gender have both been legally changed, and Florida law does permit minors to legally change their gender on birth certificates and driver's licenses so long as they have parental consent.
However, another Floridian law, the Fairness in Women's Sports Act, signed into law in 2021, forbids biological males like Norton's son from joining sports teams reserved for women and girls. Not only did Norton apparently violate this statute by knowingly permitting her son, now 16, to play on the girls' team, but she also allegedly kept his gender listed as "female" on school records and checked "female" on a form asking about his sex at birth.

That shit is unnatural and its just a matter of time before its revealed that it isnt safe.Even the meat you buy at the store aint all that natural. Take chciken. All of it is cornish cross that go from being hatched to slaughtered in five and a helf weeks.
They never see the sun or the moon. They never turn sideways in their cages.
Contrast that with the freedom rangers I have on my farm. Even the cornish cross hens I have are free range and learn to forage for food like a heritage breed. I slaughter them between the fifth and sixth month.
No comparison in taste with factory birds.

Lab grown meat is not "heavily" processed, it is "completely" processed. You do not put a single meat cell in a laboratory culture dish and have it magically grow into a steak without severe amounts of human intervention.
Billions of years of evolution versus a few know-it-alls who have yet to learn, much less disclose the long term side effects of manufactured sustenance... I think I'll stick to the naturally occurring variety, thanks.
But you do you. After all, they have to test it out on someone... kinda like that Pinko Pox jab they rolled out a few years back, right? Right.

I'm sure it isnt. I'm also sure its not the same as meat from a cow or chicken....and not in a good way.
This reminds me a lot of the jab situation: "It'll be great, just take it and see!"

My mom was on the margarine bad/butter evil bandwagon decades ago. I kept telling her it was bad for you and viola! I was right again!Lab grown meat is not the same as heavily processed meat substitutes.
I'll not be a guinea pig for this stupid shit. Mark my words, it'll turn into a shit sandwich. I'll take my hamburger cow grown.
