DeSantis on gender dysphoria: โThey talk about young kids getting gender-affirming care. They don't tell you what that is. They're actually giving very young girls double mastectomies. They want to castrate these young boys. That's wrong...You don't disfigure 10, 12, y/o kids."
Last nightโs primaries show that there is zero market for Mitt Romney republicanism.

Itโs imperative Laura Loomer win in Florida in 20 days. Do all you can to help.
Dan Webster is a feeble fool who is skipping votes to create less pressure on vulnerable Democrats having to take hard votes. While the Republic burns.

The smallpox vaccine has shown to be 89% effective at protecting against monkeypox infection.
This makes sense, because analysis of the genetic characteristics of both viruses found that the monkeypox genome is 96.3% identical to that of variola (smallpox) virus.
Studies have demonstrated that the primary mode of transmission for smallpox was airborne respiratory droplets, kind of like COVID-19.
Should there be any concern that the monkeypox virus could mutate to be more like itโs almost-identical twin smallpox, and become an airborne virus that could spread virulently through the general population like COVID?
And if so, how long do we have until this happens, given the lack of action by health officials to curb degenerate behavior by the community currently spreading monkeypox throughout the United States?

During the 2016 campaign, Trump never uttered the term โCCP.โ
He said โCHINA.โ And for good reason.
China has been pushing for the popularization of the term โCCPโ in US political discourse, through their American cutouts like Foreign Policy Magazine and Miles Kwok/Steve Bannon.
Pretending that the CCP is our enemy and China is not is the same sort of delusion that led us to think that the Iraqi people would love America as soon as we did away with Saddam Hussein and his Baโath Party. We all know how that went.
