Unless she has divorced her husband I will not call Darline Nordone by her maiden name. Furthermore, she has just proven her contempt for the voters of South Carolina. We don’t know ANYTHING about her, but suddenly she wants to cash in on her dead brother’s name and enter the Senate primary? I am FURIOUS. Do not be hoodwinked, South Carolina.
You're watching the last, desperate gasp of the liberal RINO machine that has kept a death-grip on power in South Carolina by using open Republican primaries heavily infiltrated by Democrat voters.
Lindsey Graham was its dean, and he counted on those Democrat voters to pad his primary totals, subverting the will of Republican voters and sending him back to Washington.
This machine is manned by "Republicans" who would run as democrats if they lived in another state.
It is so liberal, it leaders in the state legislature defeated the redrawing of the state's gerrymandered Democrat congressional district after SCOTUS found it unconstitutional, and justified keeping it in Democrat hands by arguing that Republicans are stronger when they have Democrat competition.
A machine that spent millions just weeks ago trying to purge every last conservative Republican out of office in a vicious mailing campaign of smears and lies, in particular the Freedom Caucus.
It has kept a generation of conservatives out of high office. Now they're desperately trying to hold on to power using Trump endorsements, and Lindsey Graham's sister.
South Carolina has the kind of voters that could turn it into a free state like Florida. The first step is ending the machine once and for all Aug. 11.
Alpha male leader Ron DeSantis on politics:
"I don’t believe politics is entertainment. I don’t believe politics is building a brand or virtue signaling on social media.”
“Ultimately, politics is about WINNING and about PRODUCING RESULTS.”
RFK Jr. reveals what HHS found when they went looking for the 375,000 migrant kids Biden lost.
"It's a huge, huge tragedy."
"One guy pretended to be the parent of 42 children. We have no idea what happened to those kids."
"We're now finding them. We found about 137,000 of them, but a lot of them you just can't find. There was about 60 kids who were sent to one address. When we looked at that address, it was a container, a steel container in the middle of a parking lot."
"A lot of them were sent to work at slaughterhouses and picking fruits in the fields. They were slaves."
"So we stopped that. Now everybody who comes in has to validate the relationship. We DNA test them to make sure they're related to that kid. Nobody gets a kid unless we know that is the kid's parent or relative."
"It's a huge, huge tragedy. My agency [under Biden] was the single biggest child trafficker in the world."
The push for permanent Daylight Saving Time isn't being driven primarily by chronobiologists or sleep experts. Historically, its strongest supporters have been industries that benefit from people staying out later in the evening: golf courses, outdoor recreation, sports leagues, amusement parks, barbecue and grill manufacturers, convenience stores, retail businesses, and some hospitality and tourism groups. More evening daylight can increase consumer spending—but what's good for commerce isn't necessarily what's best for public health. The scientific consensus from major sleep and circadian organizations continues to favor permanent Standard Time as the healthier choice for human biology.
@aakashgupta@allidoismix Thank you! I don’t need it to be light at 9pm! I need it in the morning to get going. Not to mention Standard time is in line with the sun.
America already made daylight saving time permanent once. In December 1973, 79% of Americans supported it and Nixon signed it into law. By February 1974, eight weeks into the experiment, support had collapsed to 42%. The policy never changed. Winter arrived.
Sunrise in Washington DC came at 8:27am. Kids left for school in total darkness, carrying flashlights and wearing reflective tape. When Congress moved to repeal, members cited the deaths of eight Florida schoolchildren in the first weeks of the change.
The energy case collapsed too. The whole point was the oil embargo, and the Department of Transportation concluded the fuel savings were too small to matter. Ten months after signing it, Congress repealed it and Ford put the country back on standard time.
There's a mechanism that makes this cycle repeat: permanent DST is only ever voted on when the sun is up. Polls run in the abstract, votes happen in warm months, and the benefit, a free hour of evening light, is easy to imagine year-round. The cost is concentrated in about 10 weeks of dark winter mornings and only becomes real after implementation. So the policy polls beautifully right up until January.
Today's vote happened in July. The 1974 law passed in December, right before the exact winter that killed it. If this clears the Senate, the first real test arrives in January 2027, when sunrise in Indianapolis comes after 9am.
Sleep researchers have watched this loop for 50 years, which is why the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the AMA, and the National Sleep Foundation all back the opposite reform, permanent standard time. Congress just picked the one version of clock reform America has already tried, hated, and repealed.
I’m not a dispensationalist, but the bizarre fixation some people have to making everything about the joooooooos is a pretty strong argument that Satan still considers them God’s chosen people.
Because I don’t know how else to explain obsessive hatred like that.
