Huckabee-Sanders: “The best thing conservatives can do who are living in blue states is move to Arkansas. It’s really simple. We’re gonna make sure that kids are protected and that they’re in good learning environments.”

[Slim Cognito]

I think they should move to Arkansas, too. Then we can get fairer representation in the House.

Pissed Librarians Come for Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Kids Book Ban
A new law threatens prison for Arkansas librarians who let kids access books deemed objectionable. A coalition of book lovers is suing.

A coalition of librarians, booksellers, readers, and authors are filing suit against Arkansas, challenging the state for a sweeping new law that threatens jail time for librarians.

The suit, filed Friday by a group including the Arkansas Library Association and the Central Arkansas Library System, takes aim at Arkansas Act 372, a new library law signed by Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders in March. The law, which critics describe as overbroad or unenforceable, implements a new system for challenging library books and threatens up to a year in prison for librarians who make banned books available to minors.

Carol Coffey, president of the Arkansas Library Association, described Act 372 as an attack on intellectual freedom.

“Library workers across Arkansas are rightly concerned that the overly broad edicts of Act 372 will prevent them from serving their patrons as they have always done, by providing a wide variety of materials to fill their information needs, and perhaps more importantly, materials that allow each child to see themselves in the books in their library,” Coffey said in a statement. The Arkansas Library Association is a plaintiff in the lawsuit.

“The primary mission of the Arkansas Library Association is to support libraries and library workers and to defend intellectual freedom. We join in this lawsuit because it is the best way for us to fulfill our mission.”

The lawsuit challenges the Arkansas law on constitutional grounds, claiming it violates Arkansans’ 1st and 14th amendment rights. Following a 2004 legal loss, Arkansas cannot fully ban library books to all patrons, the lawsuit notes. But the new law could have the practical effect of banning those books by labeling them inappropriate for minors and require the books be kept in “adult only” areas, which many facilities lack. “Their only choice will be to remove all materials which might be deemed harmful to their youngest, least developed patrons or customers,” the lawsuit reads.

Some smart Arkansas lawyers are representing Plaintiffs. The Repub attorney general represents the state. He’s wiley, but no match lawyer wise for the Plaintiffs’ team.

I wonder how well Arkansas is really doing.

It has this board www.arkansasedc.com that claims to be interested in the future of the local economy, although their latest showing of foreign investments does not go past 2018 --> https://www.arkansasedc.com/business-re ... -companies

Sanders off to Europe to meet aerospace, defense executives

FILE - Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders speaks, Feb. 7, 2023, in Little Rock, Ark. As the federal government scrambles to crack down on surging child labor violations, some state lawmakers want to let children work longer hours and in more hazardous occupations. Gov. Sanders signed a law in March eliminating work permit requirements for children under 16, thereby also eliminating the age verification and parental consent required to obtain a permit.

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is departing today on an European trade mission and will return next week, Sanders' spokeswoman Alexa Henning said late Tuesday afternoon.

Sanders and the Arkansas team will meet with executives in the aerospace and defense industry from companies that include Lockheed Martin, Aerojet Rocketdyne, Dassault Falcon, Ducommun, Raytheon, Triumph and others in Paris and Cologne, Germany, according to the governor's office.

"I'm honored to announce that I will be representing Arkansas on my first overseas trade mission to Europe," Sanders said in a written statement.

"Alongside Commerce Secretary Hugh McDonald and Arkansas Economic Development Commission Executive Director Clint O'Neal, I'll meet with American, British, French and German business executives to make the case for investing in Arkansas and bringing good-paying jobs to our state," the Republican governor said.

Staff from the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, the governor's Chief of Staff Gretchen Conger and Deputy Chief of Staff Judd Deere will join Sanders, McDonald and O'Neal on the trip, Henning said.

Asked about the cost of the trip to the state and/or to the Arkansas Economic Development Foundation, Henning said "there are quite a few expenses that we won't have calculated until after the trip.

"Typically, we provide a full summary at the conclusion of the trip," she said.

The Arkansas Economic Development Foundation is a privately financed, nonprofit group.

Oh golly. Could she be crossing her fingers that the orange pus bag will go down and she can jump into the race and needs some time overseas to try to say she has foreign something or other experience? A la, DeSantis.

[New Turtle]

There are rumors about rob desanctus wanting to put her on his ticket during the primary season. Because picking the VP before the convention worked out so well for Ted Cruz I guess.

Her new ad featuring Gavin Newsom.

All that in heels.

Arkansas is not safe for children. Neither is Nebraska.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders (MAGA - Ark) signed new child labor laws that legally allow this to happen in Arkansas, and if a child gets hurt, the company is shielded from any and all liability.

These photos show children working in a Nebraska slaughterhouse – their faces are obscured. The Labor Department found more than 100 children were working in dangerous conditions, some reporting chemical burns. 60 Minutes reports, tonight.

Setting up a legal and social culture whereby children are as an ongoing generational thing recruited and prepared to sell their only asset, their bodies ... huh ... It's like they're, I dunno, grooming them or something.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Sarah Huckabee Sanders rose to national prominence in part during her time at the lectern as White House press secretary, but the purchase of a $19,000 lectern for the Arkansas governor is undergoing scrutiny and prompting claims that records about it have been altered.

A legislative panel next week will take up a lawmaker’s request for an audit to review the purchase of the lectern, which was bought in June for $19,029.25 with a state credit card. The Arkansas Republican Party reimbursed the state last month for the wood-paneled and blue lectern, which the state received in August.

“From my experience, where we’re at with this particular thing is we need to allow legislative audit go in,” Republican Sen. Jimmy Hickey, who requested the audit, said. “Everyone knows them, they do their work, they’re very thorough and then they produce a detailed report that comes to the Legislature through an open committee.”

Questions about the lectern, its cost, how it was purchased and even whether it existed has dominated political talk in Arkansas in recent weeks. The state’s largest newspaper, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, ran a front-page photo of the lectern last week after Sanders’ office allowed the paper to view it.
