As the debate over the death penalty continues, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida is pushing to end the requirement for a unanimous jury vote in death penalty cases within the state. The move comes after the shooter in the 2018 Parkland school shooting escaped the death penalty in 2022. At the Florida Sheriffs Association Winter Conference on Monday, Governor DeSantis argued that even a “supermajority” would be better than the required unanimous vote. What’s the Current Death Penalty Law in Florida? Currently, in Florida, all 12 jurors must vote for the death penalty, and a judge must approve it, in…

Kamala Harris may not hold ALL truths in the Declaration of Independence to be self-evident. In a speech marking the 50th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that granted nationwide access to abortion, Kamala quoted the Declaration of Independence. Only, she omitted a key part of the quote. The widely known original text reads: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” However, Kamala’s version omitted the word “life” from the…
Ron DeSantis has recently rejected the inclusion of AP Black History Classes in High School for College credit. As a conservative, I wholeheartedly agree with Governor DeSantis. His recent statements regarding the rejected Advanced Placement class on Black history in the state of Florida definitely hit the mark. What Type of Course is AP Black History? It is important to note that Florida’s education standards not only include but require the teaching of AP Black history topics as a core component of the already used curriculum. The proposed AP Black History Class in question was intended to be an additional…
In 2016, Indianapolis Star journalist Gregg Doyel wrote a column lavishing praise on Tony Dungy titled “Tony Dungy was a one-man crusade against NFL’s Latent Racism.” The NFL’s fifth black head coach and the first black coach ever elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Doyel couldn’t stop praising how Dungy advocated for tons of black coaches to get opportunities at both the collegiate and pro level. This week, Doyel wrote a story entitled, no lie “Litter boxes? Seriously, Tony Dungy? Stick to Sports.” https://twitter.com/GreggDoyelStar/status/1616124246291365905 “Stick to sports?” Seriously, Gregg Doyel? Because a 67-year-old man was duped by a…
Days after stopping the National Hockey League’s illegal job fair, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken another swipe at the Biden administration. Speaking to Fox News’s Tucker Carlson Wednesday night, the always outspoken Republican said he has had to activate the Florida National Guard to help with the influx of illegal migrants washing up on the Florida Keys. Normally the responsibility of the Coast Guard, DeSantis said they have been overwhelmed as of late, despite asking the federal government for help. “The Biden Administration has left the Coast Guard out to dry,” he said. For weeks now, boatloads of migrants…
CNN is having a hard time defining violence. For years now the left-wing media outlet has be trying to redefine violence. Words are violence, they said. Silence is violence they brayed. But now, actual violence apparently isn’t violence. Almost immediately following Antifa’s self-proclaimed “Night of Rage” this weekend, freelance journalist David Peisner made a bizarre claim to CNN’s Pamela Brown’s Saturday night. “I think that there’s a real blurring of the lines in the use of the word violence. Is property destruction violence? To some people it certainly is. But, you know, this idea that breaking windows or other acts…
GOP Congressman Mike Gallagher (R-WI-08) recently took to Twitter to offer a new perspective on the scandal involving classified documents being found in President Joe Biden’s Delaware home and former office. Earlier this month, it was revealed that classified documents dating back to Joe Biden’s time as Vice President were found in his former office at the Penn Biden Center. Days later, more classified documents were found in Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home – specifically in his “locked garage” next to his corvette and in an adjacent room from the garage. Following the initial search of Biden’s home, White House Press…
I was once a liberal. I didn’t even know it, but looking back, the school system had contorted my ideology – and I was one of them. From 2006 to 2015, I was blind. Then on June 16th, 2015 my life changed. Donald J Trump announced his candidacy for president. A veil was lifted, and I had awakened. Truly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z–HDpNMDqQ I was hired in 2006 to teach high school English. And given my journalism background writing for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas’s former publication, the Rebel Yell (changed to the name The Scarlet Gray Free Press by Nevada’s woke…
After conservative Youtube/Rumble, news/opinion/culture warrior Steven Crowder (hard to put him in one box) announced on his last broadcast in December that Mug Club and Louder with Crowder will no longer be a part of the Glenn Beck network The Blaze, he was going to be a free agent–yet with so many new conservative media networks, it is not unexpected that another network might pick him up. This is where things started to heat up! One might think that the conservative movement would be in a weaker position after the very public showdown in congress, taking a record-breaking 15 votes…
What is it like being a young black woman in the current sociological climate? Since 2020, the amount of hate many black conservatives received, and still do–especially women–has been unimaginable. In the year 2020, I was only eighteen-years-old, halfway through college, and just beginning my life. I made a choice to use my voice in order to stand up for what was right, how the government ran things made so many lives much more complicated than they should have been. Due to the Black Lives Matter movement, many businesses went down in a blaze. So many different shops and stores…
