New Florida Law Allows Providers To Deny People Healthcare Based On ‘Moral Objections’


Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has just signed Senate Bill 1580, the “Protections of Medical Conscience,” into law, allowing Florida healthcare providers and insurance companies to refuse services based on their moral, ethical, or religious beliefs.  That’s right, folks; patients in Florida will soon be facing denial of care or insurance payment for almost anything if some medical professional or insurance company claims they have a moral objection.  You know, like if you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community, or perhaps you’re of the wrong religion or political beliefs, or maybe you’re an “unwed mother.”

Holy shit, who the hell lobbied for this bill, anyway?  The Undertakers?  Talk about “Death Panels!”  I mean, only Florida and Gov. DeSantis could turn Doctors practicing the cherished “Hippocratic Oath” into a bunch of “Hypocritic Oafs.”  Of course, insurance companies are all in for this new law.  Turns out they’re “morally opposed” to any medical procedure which might cost them money.  Who knew?  I thought Nationwide was supposed to be “on my side."

So, let me get this straight, insurance companies are now the moral compass in Florida?  What could go wrong there?  Me thinks that old “Law of Unintended Consequences” should start kicking in pretty darn soon for these half-wits.  Just think, now Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Democrats, Libertarians, and Republicans - can all legally refuse to treat one another.

I tell ya, this law is pure genius!  Well, perhaps just a wee-bit short of genius, but you get the idea.  And what about veterinarians?  Can they refuse service to my neighbor’s dogs because they’re black, because they’re two females, and they sleep together in the same bed?  Not to mention a dog’s sexual mores.  I mean, dogs will hump almost anything, including chairs.  Of course, so will most Republicans, so there’s that.

Now, the only question that remains is, what will those Republicans’ "conscience" say when a person who was denied care because of this law dies?  Well, the answer is “probably nothing.”  That’s because that would require a degree of sympathy and compassion - another way of saying “Woke.”  Can’t have any of that in Ron DeSantis’ tropical, Social Darwinistic dystopia.  And, for those of you who think, “So what, I don’t live in Florida,” just remember if Trump goes to jail - DeSantis may very well be our next president.  Sweet dreams!

Trump Demands Constitution Be Set Aside and He Be Reinstated as President

Reacting to a Twitter post from Elon Musk who claimed Democrats violated the 1st Amendment by collaborating with big tech (Twitter), to remove tweets that featured pornographic photos of Hunter Biden during the 2020 election,” former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to demand that the United States Constitution be set aside and that he be reinstated as president.   Trump further claimed that "A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.   Our great 'Founders' did not want, and would not condone False & Fraudulent Elections!” Now, let me get this straight, Trump wants the US Constitution to be suspended - because Twitter refused to publish photos of “Hunter Biden's junk” during that last presidential election?  The thing is Elon, Democrats weren’t even in power in 2020 - Trump was, which would make it a bit difficult for them to violate the...

Anti-Vax Newsmax Host Says Diseases are Supposed to Kill People

Conservative network Newsmax has been forced to “distance itself” from remarks uttered by host Rob Schmitt this week, who claimed that vaccines go "against nature" because diseases are "supposed to wipe out a certain amount of people,” and that vaccinations “unnaturally interfere with viruses' designs on killing people.” Wow, kinda looks like the “Schmitt” has really hit the fan over at Newsmax.  So, they want to “distance” themselves from Schmitt’s remarks, do they?  Gee, makes you wonder if the morons who run Newsmax know they actually have the option not hire anti-science nitwits like Schmitt as anchors in the first place?  Not to worry though, should Schmitt get fired, I'm sure folks like Kevin McCarthy or Rand Paul would warmly welcome him to become part of their staffs. Of course, the truth is, what Schmitt is really promoting is “Social Darwinism.”  Given that, I assume by the same logic he applies to vaccines, one may conclude that by warning people ...

2020 GOP Senate Nominee Claims the Equality Act Will ‘Illegalize’ Jesus Christ

The Equality Ac t is a bill before the United States Congress, that would simply prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, education, federally funded programs, etc.   It doesn’t dictate what churches or religious people must believe, but that hasn’t stopped right-wing, QAnon, and flat Earth activist Lauren Witzke - the GOP’s failed 2020 Senate candidate from Delaware - from going on Alan Jones’ InfoWars and claiming that the bill will “illegalize Jesus Christ” and “categorize the Scripture as hate speech.” Well, given her stance on immigrants, I can’t imagine why she’d ever object to anyone “trying to illegalize Jesus Christ.”  I mean, by her standards - isn’t Jesus basically just another “illegal immigrant” from the Middle East?  So, what’s the problem?  Why, if you don’t believe me, then try telling some border patrol agent “but, but, I’m the son of God” - and see how far ...
