Forget The Cheese, Check Out This Sunshine

April 2, 2025 Steve MacDonald

The Handmaiden media pulled some sleight of hand this morning. They made you look at Wisconsin as the bellwether for the 2026 midterms, but not Florida. The cheese heads did something remarkable. Backed by millions from progressive oligarchs like George Soros, JB Pritzker, and Reid Hoffman, they defended a State Supreme Court seat they already … Read more

Fake “Meat” Ban Survives Court Challenge

November 28, 2024 Steve MacDonald

We’re not fans of fake meat. It isn’t better for the environment, and it isn’t better for you. But we won’t tell you not to buy or eat it. We will tell you that you are being fed lies, but knock yourself out if you don’t care or are comfortable with the fantasy. Eating fake meat is … Read more

November 25, 2024 Ian Underwood

So, Pam Bondi is Trump’s new nominee for Attorney General of the United States. Advocates for RKBA point out that she defended Red Flag laws while she was Attorney General of Florida.

August 2, 2024August 2, 2024 Aaron Warner

As if social media wasn’t toxic enough, it has now been weaponized by a Reddit group to target “fundamentalist Christians” explicitly.

While we welcome snarkers from all different backgrounds, the people … Read more

Florida Bans Manufacture and Sale of Lab-Grown Meat

May 3, 2024 Steve MacDonald

No compilation of urban legends would be complete without mentioning cafeteria-style mystery meat. It is shaped like meat, colored (and cooked) like meat, but would it stand up to even casual scrutiny? Stories about schools saving money by cheating out on food were spurious at best. Schools don’t try to save money.

DeSantis And Florida Took the Janus Decision to Its Next Logical Step

January 5, 2024January 4, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Teacher’s Unions are sinister private entities whose only concern is how much money they can make and how best to use that to impact politics at every level of government. Sure, Janus v. AFSCME was a great decision, but the war against public employee unions continues, and Ron DeSantis is leading that fight.

About That 100+ Degree “Ocean” Water in Florida …

August 4, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Did you hear about that time when the press reported Atlantic Ocean temperatures over one-hundred degrees? It was this week. The South Florida,hot tub analogy is accurate (sort of), but not the way the media sold it. The ocean bouy was in salt water, but inland, inside the barrier reef, in shallow water, at low tide.

Banning AP Courses? As If.

August 4, 2023 Ian Underwood

Florida may have banned its public schools from teaching the AP Psychology course. That is, it may or may not be true that the course contains material that is prohibited by a recent law from inclusion in public school curricula. But this rather misses the point, I think. Or rather, a couple of important points. … Read more

Florida Drag Show Law Gets Tossed Out

June 27, 2023 Steve MacDonald

There was much praise from the center-right and parent’s groups when Florida passed a law to protect children from drag shows. Gov. DeSantis signed it, but a court just tossed it out. For all its good intentions, it was poorly written and contradicted existing law.
