The Lee County, Florida Republican Executive Committee will be considering a number of resolutions at their meeting this weekend including declaring the World Health Organization and the World Economic Forum terrorist organizations and demanding that Florida ban electronic voting machines and federal agents, including FBI and IRS agents. > **[Lee County GOP to consider branding WHO as terrorists and barring IRS and FBI...](https://floridapolitics.com/archives/555400-lee-county-gop-to-consider-branding-who-as-terrorists-and-barring-irs-and-fbi-agents/)** > > Another resolution takes aim at use of Dominion electronic voting machines. ---

Interestingly enough, even the chairman of the REC seems to be saying, in an oblique way, that these resolutions are a stupid waste of time and that their proponents are inconsequential basket cases. > [@](#): > > Jonathan Martin, Chair of the Lee County Republican Executive Committee (REC), stressed that the resolutions do not represent the view of the REC unless and until a majority of members support adopting them. > > “They are not necessarily a priority of the party until the party chooses to make them a priority,” said Martin, a likely incoming state Senator. > > Martin said the resolutions were proposed at the last REC meeting, a contentious event that spanned four hours, but came up only after many members had already left and there was no longer a quorum. > > Three members proposed four resolutions at that point, but with no ability to take a vote, a special meeting was called, Martin said… > > Martin said any REC member may propose resolutions, but that doesn’t mean they will win support of the entire party. He noted there’s no threshold that must be met for REC members to bring resolutions forward, and little that an individual has to do to become a member of the REC. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Lady G is introducing a nationwide abortion ban bill tomorrow. Are they trying to throw the election? Everything I’ve seen, the Roe v Wade issue is motivating a lot of people to get out and vote, and vote against the GOP. How does doing this now alleviate that?!? ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Have they blamed Biden for the Queen’s premature and untimely death yet? Remember, per QAnon logic, Elizabeth was the head of the global Satanic Deep State pedophile ring that extracts fear juice from abused childrens’ brains to make themselves immortal before the kids are shipped off to the slave colonies on Mars. She was probably executed for her crimes by the true Navy SEAL patriots who are secretly loyal to Donald Trump, the one true God-President. Charles, of course, is somehow as pure as the driven snow. ---

So you’re saying that the Queen faked her own death so that her acolytes could deliver the special immortality serum to her concealed inside a thousand Paddington Bear plush toys. The serum, as we all know, is collected from the pituitary glands of traumatized four-year-olds at In-N-Out Burger joints in Nancy Pelosi’s district in California. The password is “animal style”. Sure, why not? ---

They had to go the Paddington Bear route after Hillary’s pizza parlor was shut down. The serum was the secret ingredient in her pizza sauce, dontcha know. ---

> U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) will lead Senate Republicans in a push to pass a nationwide ban on abortion Thanks Lindsey!

> [@crowmanyclouds](#): > > U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) will lead Senate Republicans in a push to pass a nationwide ban on abortion According to the article, the ban that is being proposed takes effect at 15 weeks of pregnancy. To some extent, this sounds like Republicans understanding that the six week bans they have been implementing are politically toxic in most of the country and they are therefore trying to pivot on the issue. Well, Lindsey is trying to pivot anyway; the Republican base has made it abundantly clear where they stand on the issue already. ---
