DeSantis resists Biden's push of gender dysphoria

 Washington Examiner:

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has instructed schools in his state to ignore President Joe Biden's new federal guidelines on inserting gender ideology into school curricula and counseling.

Florida public schools are already forbidden by state law from indoctrinating young children with transgender ideology or attempting to transition children behind their parents' backs. But DeSantis's education commissioner, Manny Diaz, has further made clear that schools should not feel pressure from these federal guidelines to treat boys as if they were girls or vice versa when it comes to school sports, bathrooms, or locker rooms.

So Florida schools, at least, will not bow to any mandate to feign ignorance about the reality of sex, a biological characteristic from which each person's humanity is inseparable.

Federal micromanagement of schools is procedurally untenable in any case. But this particular government mandate to manipulate vulnerable children is substantively unconscionable.

Biden's guidelines are thinly disguised as "protection" for transgender students — an illusion that the media have been all too happy to play along with. Once that lie is accepted, any affirmation of normalcy can be framed falsely as an incitement to suicide by students suffering gender confusion. The true aim of Biden's guidelines is to extend an unhealthy license to educators and school administrators so beholden to an anti-scientific gender ideology that they feel entitled to manipulate children and subvert parental influence.
...

Biden's push for this policy on children is unconscionable and should be rejected by every governor. DeSantis is continuing to show his leadership by resisting it.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
