(TALLAHASSEE, Fla.) — Climate change will be a lesser priority in Florida and largely disappear from state statutes under legislation signed Wednesday by Florida Gov.

Speaker of the House (barely) Mike Johnson told the press that his office, along with MAGA cultists James Comer and Jim Jordan, are seeking to interfere with the Special Counsel's case against Donald Trump in the secret documents case. Johnson first claimed he was in Manhattan just acting as a friend when he decided to join Trump at the courthouse.

Did someone from either the pro-globalist or pro-Ukraine side, which is getting desperate, do this?

To the extent that nothing is too small for the left to despoil, it’s up to each of us to act (legally, of course) to stop those depredations, for even the small ones add up.
