New in PJ Media:
Is there no end to the supply of ostensible Republicans who do nothing but echo the Left’s talking points and fall into line as Leftists set the nation’s political and cultural agenda? Abe Lincoln once observed that “God must love the common man, He made so many of them,” and He must love controlled opposition RINOs even more because the nation is positively inundated with them.
One of the latest claimants to be the chief rhino, er, RINO, is former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who actually seems to believe that he has a chance to be the Republican nominee for president of the United States in 2024. If he turns out to be right, we’re in even worse trouble than we already appear to be.
On NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, Hogan was asked about DeSantis’ Parental Rights in Education bill, which attempts to counter the gender madness that is now being forced upon children at the earliest ages by forbidding teachers to engage in instruction about sexual orientation and identity in “a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate” for children in kindergarten and older.
As DeSantis himself said, he pushed for this in order both to protect children and to safeguard the rights of parents to raise their children without having them indoctrinated by woke gender-queer groomers: “This is inappropriate,” DeSantis said sensibly, “for kindergarteners and first graders and second graders, parents do not want this going on in their schools.”
But Larry Hogan would have us believe that this practically made Ron DeSantis into Barack Obama. “I’m a small government, common sense conservative,” he claimed risibly on Sunday, “and to me, it sounds like big government and authoritarian, ‘You have to agree with me, and I’ll tell you what you can and can’t do.’ But it’s an issue. It’s not the most important issue. Most people are worried about the economy, inflation, and they’re concerned about crime, but education is one of the things that we’ve got to talk about.” Yes indeed. But protecting the rights of parents to raise their own children is now “big government”? As Old Joe Biden, the man Hogan thinks he has a chance to replace, would say, “Come on, man!”
Predictably, Hogan was raked over the coals for his ridiculous statement. One Twitter user observed: “Republicans like Larry Hogan use ‘small government’ as an excuse for inaction. Perverts teaching kindergarteners about sex? Big Tech censorship? Corporations outsourcing jobs from middle-America? Can’t do anything … small government.” Mark Hemingway of RealClearInvestigations quipped: “Yes, not wanting your grade school kids taught gender ideology that everyone agreed was insane 15 minutes ago means you’re in favor of ‘big government.’ Go ahead and campaign on that, Larry.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

using the words transgender in any affirming capacity is fraud – for government employees it is fraud in the cloak of their official capacity.
the reason for the continuation of such criminal fraud is you and the rest of the American public who are indoctrinated marxist toadies = trained to do nothing = trained to refuse to support : enforce government by Law ::actual Science.
\
there is no such creature that as transgender human… there are people who choose to chemically and surgically mutilate themselves OR children who are attacked : subverted psychologically and then mutilated by adult at the direction of interfering : noncustodial adult sexual deviants : predators : pedophiles… ahhh, but you marxist indoctrinated ‘to do nothing to enforce government by Law’ toadies all know this stuff..
Kesselman says
Hogan hasn’t grabbed a bit of the sinister neo-Marxist’s latest attempt to corrupt the youth and the civilized society as a whole. The latter days’ communists buy-in where observant citizens are confused and effeminated. As tools, unfunded teens and Millenials use the old totalitarian scheme to intimidate the common man into compliance. The woke thugs have infiltrated MeToo, BLM, and various social platforms to invoke anger, frustration, and deadly rage.—It’s high time for a democratic society to turn the socialist tide. Most RHINO is either dumb as Hogan or scared into following what seems to be the new black: the feminist supremacists, today’s totalitarians.

I’m one of those not excited when RINOs get elected. I’d rather see a genuine Dem – even a communist one – get elected over a fake conservative. That includes Larry Hogan, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Phil Sccott, Charlie Baker, et al. That at least leaves the potential of a genuine conservative winning when things get bad enough in those states
If there are Republicans who can’t agree even on the trannie grooming issue, why do they even bother being Republicans? The woke corporate Left has already co-opted the Dems, so these guys might as well switch parties, like the late Jeffords and Specter

No vote for him—-

I really hope Hogan is not considering transitioning because that is about the last thing in the world we would ever want or need.
Ask a leftist what they think regarding GMO crops and then ask them what they think regarding GMO children. Can you spot the glaring difference? Deranged is a good way to describe what is going on with the trans children movement. Keep your kids far away from these creeps no matter what side of the aisle they sit on.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I think he should transition. Both from (R) to (D), as well as from man to… whatever!
tgusa says
It is a shame that he wont transition to another country, permanently. Right now they all seem to think the Ukraine is the hot destination. I would gladly pay for their flights. All they need to do is ask.

I read today that James O’Keefe is no longer a part of Project Veritas. Evidently, that organization has been infiltrated by those who don’t want Truth to be told about anything.
People like this hogan are cropping up to blather about things of which they know nothing. Parents may be concerned about the “economy, inflation, crime and education,” but not without considering how these issues affect the children they actually **love** and for whom they know they have a responsibility to do the **right** thing.
The parent is expected to feed, clothe, transport, sometimes medicate, teach such things as ethics, honesty, and morals, and if the parent fails in this, they are *faulted* as poor parents and if the child commits a crime, the parent is held accountable. If the parent fails to see to the health needs, they are guilty of abuse, and can face prison.
However, fools such as hogan, and those he evidently supports, want to take away one of the most important decisions from the parents and make it for the child…who they don’t love nor care for in any real sense.
Governor DeSantis has children. He knows his responsibility as a father, and he recognizes the **right** of other parents to make decisions for their children until the children are adults able to decide for themselves.
Buying a ticket on a train that is without an engineer or conductor, or buying a ticket for a plane that has already been hijacked by crimianls intent on crashing the craft, is a very stupid thing to do.

Even more than Florida, I like what Tennessee has done. Not only have they banned these sexual grooming in schools, they’ve even made it legal for kids whose parents encourage/make them mutilate their bodies when they are kids to sue those parents once they are adults. That is what needs to happen so that those perverts who have no business having custody of kids get legally tortured: I’d even support a death penalty for them
somehistory says
Infidel, you are right. Anyone who mutilates a child, pays for the mutilation, or approves of it is guilty and all should be facing a death penalty. But first, they should have done to them what they did to the child.
They are ruining the lives of these children.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
The physicians who perform gender reassignment surgery on minors should not only be sued for medical malpractice (when the minor reaches the age of majority) but also brought up on criminal charges – which they can’t insure against.
somehistory says
Thank you, James. Evil doers ‘will reap what they have sown.’ It may not appear to be that way now, but it is a “law” they cannot avoid.
bill carr says
‘You have to agree with me, and I’ll tell you what you can and can’t do£
Is that not exactly what the woke and the left are saying?
OLD GUY says
Mutilating a child is child abuse and should result in jail time for everyone involved. No doctor or medical facility should be involved in these kind of procedures.
Make it illegal with stiff fines and jail time for those envolved.
