Will "woke" die?

Are any parents being forced to bring their kids to a drag queen reading?  Choices can be made by each parent.

The "I don't like it so YOU can't do it" position is abhorrent.

Equally awful.

That is precisely the opposite of what I'm saying.  I'm not going to say anything to your grandchildren.  That's your job.  Tell them whatever you like about the issue. Keep them at home when the drag queens are doing a reading at your local public library.  But don't try to tell me what to tell MY grandchildren or whether to not I can take them to the drag queen reading at the library or that what I'm doing is wrong or that the library is not allowed to have drag queen readings....

Simple concept.  Mind your own business.

Well dig this dude:  

Choices can't be made by each CHILD. 

Children don't get to choose their religion, either - it is 100% the choice of the parent.  

Imagine a world where children are taught the tenets of all religions, including the lack of one, and then are free to choose which flavour they want when they turn 18.

"Recess Appointments" ?

Posted By David Cotterell

So these Trump cabinet picks. They are really just nominations and each person will have to go through hearings and questioning by congress, right?  

So what is this 'recess appointments' thing that I'm seeing which seems to indicate that the Trump choices are a done deal and that no further hearings or vetting will happen...?

GAETZ Pays For It!

Rich Davis: "So Yes, I am jazzed to see Matt Gaetz put up for nomination..."
He said 'jazzed'?

Maybe a typo...

The mentally deranged on the left once again show their ignorance and their prejudices about Christianity regarding Pete Hegseth's tattoos.

These 'announcements' - Dr. OZ, Gaetz, Gabbard, McMahon etc. are only announcements of intent at this point, I would surmise.  Trump doesn't take office until Jan 20 at which time he can finally and officially nominate them.  A new Congress session also starts on or very near to Jan 20 so each nominee would be subject to hearings before congress so none are a done deal at this point.

Hope I am understanding this correctly.

Could Trump 'create', by presidential order, a congressional recess such that his nominations would not be subject to hearings?
