    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis grilled California Governor Gavin Newsom during their debate in Georgia on Thursday night over the issue of parental rights.

    The Republican presidential candidate specifically went after a bill that Newsom signed into law that allows a minor to come from out of state to receive transgender treatments without their parent's consent.

    "Let me just say something about parents rights because he says California respects parents rights. This is rich, he's been telling a lot of whoppers tonight, this may be the biggest," DeSantis said. "In California, if you're a parent in Iowa, or New Hampshire, or South Carolina, your minor child can go to California without your knowledge or without your consent and get hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and a sex change operation all without you knowing or consenting."

    "How in the heck is that honoring parent's rights when you're bringing people from out of state to go around their parents' backs and getting life altering surgeries?" DeSantis continued. "That is radical, that is extreme-"

    "You know what, Ron? These kids just want to live!" Newsom lashed out.

    "That is an assault on parents' rights," DeSantis said.

    "You know what, Ron?" Newsom said as he tried to interrupt DeSantis.

    "It's not for you to decide!" DeSantis fired back. "It's for the parents to decide. And the parents do not want their kids going [and doing this]."

In the most recent Midterms Election, the "Republican Red Wave" turned out to be a "Republican Red Ripple," which, as in all elections, confounded the political prognosticators of what to expect down the governing /political road: What, and who, do you think is best for this meandering Representative Republic in the near future?

  Because they know how to best allocate the public's money back to the right part of the public, the Democrats will NOW always prevail and get my vote.

  With patriotic pragmatism the cornerstone of the best of the Republican Party, they will ultimately save this Constitutional Republic from self-destruction.

  Since the Executive Branch is so important to turn this Representative Republic around, I am still on Team Trump in 2024.

  Since the nation may need a different path to Conservative patriotism in the Executive, I am joining Team DeSantis.

  Because I am entitled to take the government dole, the prevailing favoritism whenever possible, I will support any, and every Democrat candidate.
