Whither Democrats’ Weather?
Once again, Florida’s legislature leads a benighted nation,
By introducing a bill against “weather manipulation.”
Florida Republicans have gone off the rails
Over contrails, cloud seeds and chemtrails,
But this law will end the Democrats’ hurricane modification.
MAGA Christians Set Their Sights on the Revoking 19th Amendment, Women’s Right to Vote
Ms. Magazine:“If we had a Christian nation tomorrow, and women did have the right to vote, we would not have a Christian nation within 50 years because the husband has been appointed by God as the head of his home.” – MAGA Pastor Joel Webbon, president of the Right Response Ministries, in 2023
In a 2024 episode of his own podcast Theology Applied, [MAGA theologist Joel] Webbon argued that the repeal of the 19th Amendment is actually “not [about] trying to take away the female vote, but it’s trying to say, no, there’s a family vote,” and that he believes this because “that is the Christian position.”
In fact, more than a hundred years earlier, a member of the Christian Reformed Church used the same argument that the Bible opposes suffrage, and taught that society consists of families, not individuals.
On the same episode of The Standard, Webbon uses the same argument that late 19th- and 20th-century anti-suffragists used: that women’s right to vote is a moral issue in that it impinges on men’s rights and interferes with women’s predestined roles as wife and mother.
Defense Secretary Nominee’s Mother Criticized Him As a Serial Abuser of Women
Daily Beast: “On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say… get some help and take an honest look at yourself,” [Penelope Hegseth, the Trump nominee’s mother] wrote on April 30, 2018.
“I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego.
“You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.”
