‘Compromised By Dollar Signs? Shocker’: Report Claims Hospital Donors Behind Ohio Gov’s Transgender Treatment Veto | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Governor Mike DeWine (R-OH) raised eyebrows when he vetoed House Bill 68 on Friday - a measure that would have prevented biological males from participating in women's athletics and barred doctors from prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children - but critics questioned whether campaign donations may have been behind the eleventh-hour veto.

    According to a report published that same day by The Daily Caller News Foundation, between 2018 and 2023 DeWine had received some $40,000 in campaign donations from several children's hospitals and organizations that support access to transgender medical treatment for minors.

    The donations in question reportedly came from the Ohio Children's Hospital Association (OCHA) - $20,000, Cincinnati Children's Hospital - $300, Nationwide Children's Hospital - $10,000, and ProMedica Children's Hospital - $10,000.

    At least one of the hospitals, Cincinnati Children's, has a Transgender Health Center that accepts patients as young as five years old and does not list an age limit for starting drugs like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.

    DeWine defended his veto in a press conference, saying, "Parents have looked me in the eye and told me but for this treatment, their child would be dead. I have also been told by those who are now grown adults that but for this care they would have taken their life when they were teenagers ... The consequences of this bill could not be more profound. Ultimately, I believe this is about protecting human life."

    "Oh, so you mean Gov DeWine was compromised by dollar signs? Shocker... They always follow the $$$$," NCAA-swimmer-turned-activist Riley Gaines responded.

    Former President Donald Trump also called out the Ohio Republicans, saying, "DeWine has fallen to the Radical Left. No wonder he gets loudly booed in Ohio every time I introduce him at Rallies, but I won't be introducing him any more. I'm finished with this 'stiff.' What was he thinking. The bill would have stopped child mutilation, and prevented men from playing in women's sports. Legislature will hopefully overturn. Do it FAST!!!"

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?

  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.

  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.

  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?
