Federal judge hands DeSantis admin win over 'Stop WOKE Act' | Fox News

Federal judge hands DeSantis admin win over 'Stop WOKE Act' | Fox News: 

A federal judge ruled that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration did not violate a court order regarding the state’s "Stop WOKE Act," which prohibits colleges from promoting critical race theory lessons and targets other "woke" concepts prevalent on higher education campuses. 

"Although this court would not hesitate to compel compliance with its preliminary injunction, this court finds there has been no violation of the injunction at this time," U.S. District Judge Mark E. Walker wrote on Thursday, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Imagine if a "republican" had commissioned this. With public money!!

Briefly Noted: What's Up With Hunter Paying $50K Rent To The Big Guy?

Briefly Noted: What's Up With Hunter Paying $50K Rent To The Big Guy? - Mark

"...During the Trump years Hunter Biden was paying about $50K/mo. to live in Zhou’s Delaware beach house for a period of nearly a year (11 mos.)—even though Zillow shows that the most any other house in the area rented for was $6K/mo. 

Hmmm. 

Those rental payments totaled about $550K to the “Big Guy”. 

...Why is this relevant? 

Because it so happens …

• ...If the rental income isn't in those two S-Corps then either it never existed or Joe and Jill ripped off the government and committed tax fraud on the $600,000 paid by Hunter to Joe that is not declared anywhere in their state or federal tax returns...

Seems only fair, right?

 

Gangster government!-----It won't stop with gas stoves - by Tom Knighton

It won't stop with gas stoves - by Tom Knighton - Tom Knighton
"Last week, the Consumer Product Safety Council stirred up a lot of animosity because they started talking about banning gas stoves...
However, it’s not the only time the CPSC has gotten stupid.
Over at National Review, Dominic Pino provides another example:

The CPSC is currently in the process of harassing a small-business owner whose product has been used safely by thousands of people since 2009.

Leachco, an Oklahoma-based firm founded by Jamie and Clyde Leach, manufactures the Podster, a lounge pillow for infants. The pillow has sides that cup babies to keep them in place. Over 180,000 have been sold since the product first came to market.

• In 2015, a day-care worker broke state law and the day-care center’s rules by leaving an infant unattended in a Podster for over an hour and a half.
• In 2018, two parents accidentally smothered their baby in bed while co-sleeping.

Both those infants tragically died.

• The CPSC is using those cases to warn consumers to “immediately stop using the Podster.” 

Both babies were in a Podster when they died, but anyone with common sense can see that the negligence of adults, not the safety of the product, was the likely culprit. 

Those are the only two infant deaths the CPSC cites as being associated with the Podster, which has otherwise been used safely by thousands of parents...

ChatGPT fools scientists more than 1/3 of the time

"Ever since OpenAI released its chatbot ChatGPT in November, it’s been making waves and attracting a huge number of users...

Some researchers have been putting the large language-model system through its paces and performing tests to see how effective or potentially dangerous it is. 

• In one experiment, researchers asked a group of scientists to evaluate a number of research paper abstracts. 
• Some of them were written by other scientists and post-graduate research students while others were generated by ChatGPT after being prompted to create such an abstract on a variety of scientific subjects. They aren’t saying that the chatbot is better than or even as good as a top human scientist, but the journal Nature reports that the scientists were unable to distinguish ChatGPT’s work from that of humans roughly one-third of the time...

What the heck?!!

Former FBI assistant director sees 'glaring disparity' in DOJ's 'kid gloves' treatment of Biden | Fox News: 

A former FBI assistant director is blasting the bureau for its "glaring disparity" in how the agency has approached the situations surrounding President Biden and former President Donald Trump's handling of classified materials. The first batch of classified documents in Biden's possession was found at the Penn Biden Center on Nov. 2, just before the 2022 midterm elections, and not revealed until Monday. A search of Biden's garage at his Wilmington home was conducted on Dec. 20 and the remainder of the house, according to Biden's lawyers, was searched this week, when additional documents were discovered.

Rep. Banks announces plans for 'anti-woke caucus' - TheBlaze: 

"What do you think will be left of our nation once more and more people accept wokeness and act on its principles?" Banks asked. "Wokeness is especially prevalent and dangerous at universities and in primary schools because the Left recognized students as the most vulnerable and useful targets for indoctrination. The Left has also pushed wokeness in the military. We must wonder what the Left wants to do with an anti-American military?"
