Ohio lawmakers fail to pass plan to get Biden on ballot. What happens now? 1/2

The House and Senate clashed over competing proposals, but Gov. DeWine says 'the president's name is going to be on the ballot'

May 8, 2024

House Minority Leader Allison Russo, D-Upper Arlington, said the prospects of a legislative solution now look dim, but she emphasized that Democrats have other options − including a lawsuit.

Gov. Mike DeWine said President Biden will be on the ballot, whether he gets there through the Legislature or courts.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose called on the House to hold an emergency vote — and to do it quickly

Ohio lawmakers on Wednesday failed to advance a plan to put President Joe Biden on the November ballot, a development that underscored bitter divisions among Republicans who control the Legislature.

The House and Senate floated separate proposals this week that would change the certification deadline to 74 days before the Nov. 5 election. Under current law, state officials must certify the ballot by Aug. 7 − 90 days beforehand −but Biden won't be nominated until the Democratic National Convention 12 days later.

Wednesday ended with no plan to get the president and presumptive Democratic nominee on Ohio's ballot. And the clock is running out: Secretary of State Frank LaRose said lawmakers had until Thursday to change the deadline.Bills typically take 90 days to become law unless they have an emergency clause attached to them.

Gov. Mike DeWine said Biden will still make the ballot, whether he gets there through the Legislature or courts.

"I don't want to minimize that this has to happen, but I do want to minimize anybody thinking that there's a snowball's chance in hell that this isn't going to happen," DeWine said Wednesday. "The president's name is going to be on the ballot."

House Minority Leader Allison Russo, D-Upper Arlington, said the prospects of a legislative solution now look dim, but she emphasized that Democrats have other options − including a lawsuit.

"We see once again that politicians and the politics and playing games with this piece of legislation ruled the day," Russo said. "I think we've officially sunk lower than Alabama at this point."(Your party fucked up, when did your party do any favors for republicans?)

Ohio Senate diverges from bipartisan House plan

House leaders introduced a bipartisan proposal on Tuesday to put Biden on the ballot and prevent future scheduling conflicts. For 2028 and beyond, parties that couldn't meet the 90-day deadline would be allowed to certify candidates either 74 days before the election or within three days of their convention, whichever comes first.

But Senate Republicans pursued a different path, one that Democrats cast as a poison pill and refused to support. They folded a one-time deadline fix into a bill that would ban foreign citizens and U.S. residents with green cards from donating to ballot campaigns. It's already illegal for non-U.S. citizens to give money to candidates.

"We use the word compromise a lot," Senate President Matt Huffman, R-Lima, said. "I think this is a reasonable result. There's some things for both sides to like and dislike. It gets these two issues resolved for the upcoming election."

2/2

Democrats contend that legislation, initially passed by the Senate in February, would create hurdles for groups that want to place issues on the ballot.For instance, it would require ballot campaigns to register as political action committees, something critics say could burden hyperlocal efforts like liquor options.

Republicans proposed the measure after a progressive dark money group poured millions into campaigns for the abortion rights amendment last year and this year's proposed constitutional amendment to form an independent redistricting commission.

"There wasn't something for us to love and hate," Senate Minority Leader Nickie Antonio, D-Lakewood, said. "It wasn't a compromise. It was frankly a dirty trick and we didn't take the bait."

Biden ballot fix underscores Republican divide

The Senate approved its bill before House lawmakers convened Wednesday afternoon, which left them with two options: Approve their proposal − which was already on the agenda − or agree with the Senate plan. They did neither.

Even before the Senate vote, Republicans pushed back against the House bill because it didn't give them any political wins for helping Democrats. Rep. Brian Stewart, R-Ashville, said House Republicans were prepared to agree with the Senate bill and accused Speaker Jason Stephens, R-Kitts Hill, of pulling the rug out from underneath them.

Stephens said the support wasn’t there.

In a statement Wednesday, LaRose called on the House to hold an emergency vote — and to do it quickly.

“The facts are still very clear on this,” LaRose said. “The Democrats scheduled their nominating convention too late to comply with Ohio law, and they’ve admitted that this unforced error creates a problem for their presidential candidate that needs to be fixed.”

Eurovision: Thousands protest against Israel's entry in Malmo

17 hours ago.Sweden?

By Kathryn Armstrong,

Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered on Thursday in the Swedish city of Malmo to protest against Israel's participation in the Eurovision song contest.

It came as the city hosted the competition's second semi-final, in which Israel's entrant Eden Golan performed.

On Wednesday, Ms Golan was booed during a rehearsal of her song Hurricane.

But the crowd's response was more mixed on Thursday, with cheers and some boos.

Ahead of Ms Golan's performance, pro-Palestinian protesters and a smaller number of pro-Israeli protesters took to the streets.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg was among those attending the pro-Palestinian demonstration, which Swedish police estimated had as many as 12,000 participants.

She told the BBC that there was a "moral obligation to act" and to speak out against Israel's military operation in Gaza.

"If we are tens of thousands of people flooding the streets of Malmo when Eurovision is taking place, saying we will not accept this to continue, then it's a very strong signal - and it does make a difference," Ms Thunberg said.

Another protester, Matilda Varatta, told Reuters news agency that she would like to see Israel disqualified as Russia was in 2022 following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

"It's not true that the Eurovision is not political, it has always been political, and it will always be," she said.

Earlier, Ms Golan said that she was "proud to represent my country" and that "nothing will deter" her.

"I'm focused on music, on the good energy, and there are so many people supporting me, and I feel like I have such an honour to represent my country, especially in these times".

Cheers and some booing was heard during her semi-final performance on Thursday evening.

In a video message posted on social media before the event, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wished Ms Golan good luck and said she had "already won" after "successfully confronting" what he described as a "horrible wave of antisemitism" in Sweden.

At the pro-Israel demonstration, people could be heard singing Hurricane in support of Ms Golan amid a significant police presence.

"I'm not that interested in Eurovision," one demonstrator, Yael Sages Wahlström, told Sweden's Svenska Dagbladet newspaper.

"But since there has been such a huge storm of hate against Israel, I wanted to support".

The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation, which organises the country's contest entry, said it asked the European Broadcasting Union to prevent a repeat of Wednesday's booing incident.

The Swedish authorities said they had heightened security in place and were prepared for potential unrest.

Israel is currently engaged in a military campaign in Gaza, which they launched as a response to Hamas' cross-border attack on southern Israel on 7 October.

About 1,200 people were killed and 252 others were taken hostage.

More than 34,900 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.

Parents of boy whose heart stopped for 19 hours were stunned when it started beating again

Four-year-old Cartier McDaniel was on life support at a Colorado hospital, and doctors told his family he was unlikely to survive.

May 9, 2024, 2:35 PM EDT

DENVER — The family of a 4-year-old boy whose heart had stopped beating hours earlier gathered at Children’s Hospital Colorado last month to say their final goodbyes to Cartier McDaniel.

Some slept in the waiting room when they weren’t praying at Cartier’s bedside after doctors told his parents, Destiny Anderson and Dominique McDaniel, that it was only a matter of time before his life support machine wouldn’t be able to keep his body functioning properly without a heartbeat.

All attempts to restart his heart had failed.

“It was the worst moment of my life. The whole hospital room was spinning. I was shaking. I couldn’t believe it was happening,” Anderson said.

But in nothing short of a medical miracle to Anderson and McDaniel, their young son’s heart began pumping on its own again, 19 hours after it had stopped.

Anderson and McDaniel said doctors told them that they didn’t have a scientific or medical explanation for why Cartier’s heart began beating again. Doctors on Cartier’s medical team were unavailable for comment this week, the hospital said.

But McDaniel said he had a spiritual explanation: “It was God.”

Cartier’s ordeal began April 8, when he ran afever that Anderson treated with Tylenol.

“I thought it was a cold and would go away,” she said.

The next day, his condition worsened. His hands and feet became cold, his mouth turned blue, he sweated, dark circles formed around his eyes and his breathing was labored.

He drank lots of water that day and stayed in bed, which Anderson thought was odd because he’s usually an active, inquisitive child.

She knew something was really amiss when Cartier wet his bed, she said.

She called the nursing line for Children’s Hospital Colorado, which upon hearing the symptoms recommended he go to the hospital immediately.

During diagnostic testing for ailments such as diabetes, Cartier’s eyes rolled to the back of his head and doctors couldn’t find a pulse, Anderson and McDaniel said. They said he had gone into cardiac arrest.

They began administering CPR, to no avail. Anderson helplessly looked on.

“The doctors were pressing on his chest,” she said. “I started crying and getting hysterical.”

Medical staff escorted her out of the emergency room.

Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops pumping and blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs, according to the National Institutes of Health.

It causes about 300,000 to 450,000 deaths in the U.S. each year, the agency said.

Survivors of cardiac arrest can suffer from brain damage and internal organ injuries, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

That was good! Needed a good rant this am.

Levin said that he grew up next door to the Bidans and his father told him, “I don’t trust that man, do not trust that man (joe), he’s a bad man, a bad man”!

I really love seeing the propaganda press that has bashed, lied, trashed and tried to destroy PDJT for 8+ years, are losing their minds that they failed dramatically. They should have known Joe was never going to be accepted, he is the media’s Mafia Boss. You failed assholes!

Anons do you think the press really believes the BS they spew? They are either insane or just stupid, or both.

Yep, their souls will be shipped off to the 2nd and final death. Lake os Sacred Fire is where God will send them. Their karma is too immense for a second chance

Cremation would be better though, their remains will pollute the compost

Kek, thx for the education

Why is it women and girls are being destroyed by the DS in every way. These people are truly evil.

I know why this is happening they destroyed men and boys, so they feel shame and worthless, always feeling bad. Now they have to destroy women and girls, so the whole population is controlled and angry.

Their goal is for humankind to be lacking any self worth, so they become pagans, and no faith in God

Where do you think guilt and shame come from? Or intuition? The soul does feel pain

In order for the soul to be eliminated God created it for the final judgement.
