Gov. DeSantis pushes through pardons for COVID-19 violators
By Christine Sexton
Published 20 hours ago Updated 11 hours ago
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - With Gov. Ron DeSantis saying lockdown restrictions and mask mandates meant to stop the spread of COVID-19 did more harm than good, the state clemency board on Wednesday pardoned all Floridians who were arrested or fined for violating local-government requirements about wearing masks or social distancing.
"This action is necessary so that we can recover, have a good transition to normal operations, and also just a recognition that a lot of this stuff was way, way overboard," DeSantis said.
Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, a Democrat running to unseat the Republican governor in 2022, was the only member of the Board of Executive Clemency to oppose the move. The board also is made up of Attorney General Ashley Moody and state Chief Financial Official Officer Jimmy Patronis, both Republicans.
"Our local governments stepped up to protect the people of our state. They did what was best for the interests of their communities," Fried said.

Re: Ron DeSantis
I got nothing. Pro-immigration governor Ron DeSantis explains that high schoolers will now learn about the evils of communism and why people flee it to the US.
The bill also expands our previous efforts in civics to add a requirement for the high school government class that students receive instruction on the evils of communism and totalitarian ideologies.

Re: Ron DeSantis
I attended High School in Florida. We took a civics class called Americanism vs Communism, it was required for seniors. It was major propaganda. I'm guessing students will view this new class the same way we viewed AvC. And they will likely forget all about it as soon as the term is over, just like we did. But yeah. Fucked up. We are definitely going backwards.

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politi ... 83988.htmlDeSantis: Universities ‘intellectually repressive,’ survey on beliefs is needed
In his continued push against the “indoctrination” of students, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday signed legislation that will require public universities and colleges to survey students, faculty and staff about their beliefs and viewpoints to support “intellectual diversity.”
The survey will discern “the extent to which competing ideas and perspectives are presented” in public universities and colleges, and seeks to find whether students, faculty and staff “feel free to express beliefs and viewpoints on campus and in the classroom,” according to the bill.
The measure, which goes into effect July 1, does not specify what will be done with the survey results. But DeSantis and Sen. Ray Rodrigues, the sponsor of the bill, suggested on Tuesday that budget cuts could be looming if universities and colleges are found to be “indoctrinating” students.
“That’s not worth tax dollars and that’s not something that we’re going to be supporting moving forward,” DeSantis said at a press conference at a middle school in Fort Myers.
University faculty members have worried the new measure could create a chilling effect on their freedom of speech. Democratic lawmakers also have argued the bill might allow politicians to meddle in, monitor and regulate speech on campus in the future.

This is a part of the playbook we’ve only seen glimpses of so far. Look for others states to introduce the exact same (ALEC- written) bills soon.

Vice President Harris "chose to go to El Paso,which is about 750 miles north of where the real problems are in the more southern part of Texas"
wtaf? 750 miles south as the crow flies from El Paso is deep in Mexico. 750 miles in the general direction along the border is pretty wet.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa- ... SKBN2BB2HIBiden steps up family expulsions as U.S.-Mexico border arrivals keep climbing
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (Reuters) - The United States is expelling migrants to Mexico far from where they are caught crossing the border, according to Reuters witnesses, in a move that circumvents the refusal of authorities in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas who stopped accepting the return of migrant families with younger children.
The practice is a sign that President Joe Biden is toughening his approach to the growing humanitarian crisis on the U.S.-Mexican border after his administration’s entreaties for Central American migrants to stay home have failed to stop thousands from heading north.
Some families caught at the border in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley said in interviews they were flown to El Paso, Texas, after being held in custody just a few days. From there, they were escorted by U.S. officials to the international bridge to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, around 800-miles (1,300 km) away from where they were first picked up by U.S. border patrol agents.
A Reuters photographer saw planes landing in El Paso this week that were loaded with dozens of migrant families with young children, including babies in diapers, and then saw the same families crossing the international bridge.
Some passengers interviewed by Reuters once they crossed into Mexico said they had been awakened in their holding cells at night by border agents and not told where they were going as they were loaded on buses and taken to the airport.

Re: Ron DeSantis
it is perhaps 800 miles if you walk the border, but 800 miles away is deep in the Gulf of Mexico.
