After a big re-election win last year, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Florida is “where woke goes to die.” But the slew of culture-war policies he pushed, from restricting instruction about sexual orientation in schools to cracking down on drag performances, aren’t a top issue for many voters in the presidential race. While Republicans were generally supportive of DeSantis’s policies, they still said they preferred former President Donald Trump for the White House because of his stances on immigration and his record in the White House. WSJ political reporter Jimmy Vielkind travels to central Florida to speak with parents, activists and long-time Republicans about the limits of the culture war and what role they might play in Trump’s re-election campaign.

Rahm Emanuel sounds like a self serving politician in the worse sense. On the same day as the US Commerce Secretary is trying to improve relations with the US' largest trading partner. He as patronage appointed ambassador to Japan tries his best to start a trade war with China. What an idiot!

Real estate? No. Money laundering. When the money laundering ends, so does the inflation in housing.

I put off retirement for six years. The last year I worked was because of the pandemic. I enjoyed my career driving and could have stayed longer if I wanted. I made good money, and would recommend driving job to a friend.
