Good News Friday
Dear Patriots,
Spring into your weekend with
Good News.
1- Yet another great grassroots political movement that will be ignored by the political experts. This one is hard to dismiss and is already getting winning results.
The Epoch Times
2022: The Year of the Parent Party
QUOTE: If 2010 was the year of the Tea Party, 2022 is the year of the Parent Party. Just ask NPR/PBS. According to their new poll, 60 percent of parents with children under the age of 18 say they would currently vote Republican, with only 32 percent preferring to vote Democrat. This political sea change is unprecedented, as parents have traditionally trusted that the Democratic Party had their children's educational interests at heart.
Parents are going to make their voices heard in 2022. Where they might otherwise be busy with their careers or their kids' extracurricular activities, they will now be working together to fight back against those that have been holding education hostage for decades. Instead of the top-of-the-ticket candidates for the Senate and governor driving people to the polls and grabbing the headlines, campaign contributions, and volunteers in 2022, the grassroots will be coalescing around school board races.
We live in the United States of America where parents have a right to be involved in the education of their children, not Nazi Germany or communist Russia where the government had complete control over the education of the children. The curtain has been pulled back on the political agenda of the so-called "experts" and school board members in charge of our education system. As a result, parents have started to elect candidates who will put their children first and limit the power of unelected bureaucrats to make decisions on local levels. The mama bears are shaking things up.
2- Despite massive efforts by the left and the right to ignore, trash and lie about this movie, it is being seen by millions.
THE EPOCH TIMES
D'Souza's '2000 Mules' Grosses Over $1 Million on Rumble in First 12 Hours
QUOTE: Dinesh D'Souza's new documentary hauled in over $1 million on a streaming website in just 12 hours. Viewers paid to watch "2000 Mules" on Rumble and its platform Locals after the movie became available to rent on May 7 at noon, Rumble announced. "The success of '2000 Mules' on Rumble is a great sign for creators who do not want to be silenced or censored for their speech," D'Souza said in a statement. "Supporting creative independence is core to our values, and we are thrilled to offer creators a new way to distribute and sell movies independently," Assaf Lev, the president of Locals, added. The film was screened at theaters across the country before it became available to stream online.
3- Imagine voting for the party that votes to kill babies up to the point of birth.
Red State
Now They're on Record: Democrats Overwhelmingly Vote to Allow Abortion up to Birth
QUOTE: Let it be known that the politicians of the Democrat Party in Washington are either evil or cowardly with the exception of one.
Reports say that Democrats had brought an attempt to break the filibuster so they can bring Roe v Wade to the floor in order to codify it into law. Their end goal was to legalize abortion nationwide up until birth with what would be no limits. As you can imagine, every single Republican voted against this and they were joined by none other than West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin who had indicated that he'd vote against it earlier in the day.
This resulted in Democrats being 11 votes shy of what they needed to pass Roe into law.
Democrats knew they were going to lose this fight. It was primarily to mobilize voters as admitted by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. The real goal was to make Republicans go on record as having voted against it.
But instead, they gave Republicans exactly what they asked for; a way to point out exactly how radical and extreme Democrats have become. All of them, save Manchin, voting to terminate pregnancies up until the moment of birth is one of the more extreme stances one can take, and Democrats just put the vast majority of their party in that column.
They just handed Republicans another narrative victory.
4- News like this gets buried, by both sides, but it is important that the Rule of Law be enforced for election fraud violations. It is important that we know many of these people have been held accountable.

Virginia Democrat County Official Facing Dozens of Charges For Embezzlement, Election Fraud
QUOTE: A Democratic county official in Virginia is facing a long string of charges against him including some related to alleged election fraud and embezzlement.
According to various reports, a grand jury indicted Buchanan County Supervisor Trey Adkins on May 2, according to WJHL-TV in Johnson City, Tenn.
According to the outlet, Adkins is facing 34 counts of making a false statement related to election fraud; 11 counts of violating absentee voting procedure; eight counts of public embezzlement; 11 counts of forgery of public records; 15 counts of uttering related to public records; and three counts of conspiracy to make a false statement related to election fraud.
According to court documents cited by the local news outlet, an investigation into the allegations has been ongoing for more than two years. The report also said that a prosecutor from neighboring Russell County was appointed to be a special prosecutor for the case, which also involves the Virginia State Police.
5- One frivolous lawsuit is dismissed. Expect many more.
Fox Business
DeSantis notches legal win in battle over law revoking Disney's special tax district
QUOTE: A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit challenging Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' law dissolving Disney World's Reedy Creek Improvement District, rejecting the claims of a Miami lawyer running for U.S. Senate as a Democrat.
In the complaint, three residents of Orange and Osceola counties claimed that S.B. 4-C, the law that eliminates Disney's ability to operate an independent governmental entity around its Orlando-area theme parks, unconstitutionally threatens residents with higher taxes, abridges free speech rights, and violates a contractual obligation, the Orlando Sentinel reported. William Sanchez, a Miami lawyer and Democratic Senate candidate, filed the lawsuit last week.
U.S. District Court Judge Cecilia Altonaga, whom former President George W. Bush appointed, cited many reasons to dismiss the suit, including the federal court's lack of standing over state issues and the tentative nature of the plaintiffs' claims. S.B. 4-C, which DeSantis signed on April 22, will not go into effect until July 2022.
Michael and Edward Foronda of Kissimmee and Vivian Gorsky of Orange County "do not plausibly allege they have suffered any concrete injury as a result of the alleged violation of Disney's First Amendment rights, and nothing in the Complaint shows Plaintiffs have a close relationship with Disney," Altonaga wrote, the Sentinel reported. The new law "does not apply to them, they do not allege direct harm as a result of the challenged law, and they do not plausibly allege any credible threat of direct harm in the future," the judge ruled.
6- Twenty-one Republican states are fighting to stop the Biden Regime from lifting this immigration law.

Federal Judge Extends Order Preventing Biden Admin from Ending Title 42
QUOTE: A federal judge in Louisiana extended the temporary restraining order that prevented President Joe Biden's administration from ending Title 42 on Wednesday.
Title 42 is an immigration law implemented by former President Donald Trump that allowed the federal government to deport illegal aliens and turn back border crossers easily. At the start of April, the Biden administration announced the program would be phased out by May 23.
However, Arizona, Missouri, Louisiana, and a coalition of 18 other states sued the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on April 4, alleging the decision to end Title 42 was made unlawfully in violation of the Administrative Procedures Act. Those states successfully got an order temporarily preventing Biden and his CDC from ending the immigration policy.
The court will hold a hearing on the injunction on May 13, which could possibly result in the Biden administration being prevented from ending Title 42 entirely.
7- One state at a time. This is not law yet but the process is moving along.

QUOTE: The Missouri Senate on Monday passed an extensive election integrity bill.
The new law requires a photo ID for voting.
Senator Bob Onder announced on Facebook that the new election law bans drop boxes, ballot harvesting, and Zuckerbucks.
8- They can write their revisionist history propaganda, but we are not buying it.

Meghan McCain and Jill Biden Together Sell Less than 500 Books in First Week of Release Date
QUOTE: Combined – First Lady Jill Biden and Meghan McCain didn't sell more than 500 books in their first few days being offered, proving no one cares what they think.
Two abrasive women who represent the Biden gang and RINO supporters are receiving the kind of support that is expected.
The latest failure is Meghan McCain's memoir, Bad Republican, released April 26.
According to an NPD BookScan, it sold just 244 copies in the first few days.
These results aren't surprising to anyone who loves America.
