The Sunshine State is now welcoming chaplains into public schools‚ but Satanists need not apply. On Thursday‚ Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis‚ a Republican‚ signed a bill into law allowing chaplains to volunteer to offer counseling at public and charter schools. However‚ the Catholic governor warned that Satanists would not be accepted into the program‚ as some Christian and conservative groups had feared. “Now some have said if you do a school chaplain program that somehow you’re going to have Satanists running around in all our schools‚” DeSantis said in a press conference. “We’re not playing those games in Florida. That is not a religion. That is not qualifying to be able to participate in this. We’re going to be using common sense when it comes to this‚ so you don’t have to worry about that.” The Florida Senate version of the bill was approved in February and the House version was approved early last month. The legislation’s text states‚ “Each school district or charter school may adopt a policy to authorize volunteer school chaplains to provide supports‚ services‚ and programs to students as assigned by the district school board or charter school governing board.” The new law requires volunteer chaplains to pass a background check and would require school administrators to publicize each volunteer chaplain’s religious affiliation and obtain parental consent before a student begins counseling. “Any opportunity that exists for ministers or chaplains in the public sector must not discriminate based on religious affiliation‚” said The Satanic Temple’s “Director of Ministry” Penemue Grigori in February. “Our ministers look forward to participating in opportunities to do good in the community‚ including the opportunities created by this bill‚ right alongside the clergy of other religions.” Ryan Jayne of the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s Action Fund added‚ “I think there is a 100% chance you see satanic chaplains‚ and also of course other religious minorities that the majority-Christian population might not be a fan of. The Satanic Temple is a church‚ whether people like it or not.” “It is wonderful to have such a strong statement denying the legitimacy of Satanism as a religion or church from Governor DeSantis. But I worry that appeals to common sense will not hold in the most ideological school systems‚ even in Florida‚” Meg Kilgannon‚ Family Research Council’s senior fellow for education studies‚ commented to The Washington Stand. “Regardless‚ this is an important step in acknowledging the role that faith plays in our lives and how important it is that the big questions students have about morality‚ life and death‚ and God’s plan for their lives are best answered by a parent or priest‚ pastor‚ or chaplain.” DeSantis has criticized Satanism in the past‚ arguing that it is not a religion. In December‚ after military veteran and outspoken Christian Michael Cassidy toppled and beheaded a Baphomet idol erected in the Iowa State Capitol Building by The Satanic Temple‚ the Florida governor declared‚ “Satan has no place in our society and should not be recognized as a ‘religion’ by the federal government. … Good prevails over evil—that’s the American spirit.” On its website‚ The Satanic Temple responds to the question “Do you worship Satan&;#63;” The organization states‚ “No‚ nor do we believe in the existence of Satan or the supernatural.” The Satanic Temple adds‚ “Satan is a symbol of the Eternal Rebel in opposition to arbitrary authority‚ forever defending personal sovereignty even in the face of insurmountable odds. … Our metaphoric representation is the literary Satan best exemplified by Milton and the Romantic Satanists from Blake to Shelley to Anatole France.” Now that it has been signed by DeSantis‚ Florida’s new law goes into effect on July 1.

The Atlantic Celebrates Trump's 'Loss' on Ukraine Aid

CNN's resident &;quot;fact checker&;quot; Daniel Dale usually shows his face on air when CNN wants to attack Donald Trump. On Thursday's The Lead with Jake Tapper‚ Dale confessed that Trump's statements during jury selection were mostly just opinion‚ but he mocked the &;quot;false conspiracy theory&;quot; that President Biden had something to do with Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's prosecution‚ even though an Associate Attorney General joined Bragg's team.  JAKE TAPPER: Daniel‚ we just heard a little speech from Mr. Trump. What did you make of it&;#63; Did he say anything that was not true&;#63; DANIEL DALE: He did. I mean‚ it was mostly uncheckable‚ subjective opinion‚ but he did say a few things that weren’t quite right at very least. So he repeated his false conspiracy theory that essentially that Joe Biden is behind this case‚ which was brought by a locally elected [Democrat&;#33;] district attorney. He said Biden is behind it. He has his top people working with the DAs office to make sure everything goes right. There is no basis for that. That appears to be a reference to a former Justice Department official who went to work for the DA’s office. But there’s no sign that was anything but his own employment decision. In fact‚ this former official‚ Matthew Colangelo‚ had previously been a colleague of DA Bragg‚ so he rejoined his old colleague. At least CNN is mentioning Colangelo in passing. If this were a Trump Justice Department official arriving on a Biden prosecution‚ it would be a major scandal of partisanship. CNN would be aggressively digging for anonymous insiders to decry this plot. Then the Canadian Trump-basher turned to the usual &;quot;no evidence&;quot; claims on the Biden impeachment inquiry: DALE: He also claimed that Joe Biden is a crooked president should be on trial. I think that’s mostly opinion‚ but I think it’s worth noting‚ Jake‚ that we’ve had this extended Republican House investigation impeachment inquiry‚ no evidence of impeachable offenses‚ high crimes and misdemeanors‚ let alone criminal offenses. And then I should note‚ as you did briefly‚ that‚ you know‚ he read this big pile of documents of articles citing headlines denouncing the case. I googled some of them as he was speaking‚ so he read one — talking about the whopping outrage in Trump’s indictment. Well‚ that’s harsh criticism. Where was it from&;#63; A Fox News column. He mentioned the Daily Caller‚ another right wing publication. I googled another headline from the right wing National Review he mentioned. So there are some liberal scholars‚ legal experts‚ publications who have raised questions about this case. But that pile he showed was largely his usual friends‚ the usual suspects praising Trump‚ defending Trump in the conservative media. Dale (and Tapper) weren't going to mention CNN's own legal analyst Elie Honig isn't impressed with Bragg's effort. This was for left-wing consumption‚ as in this headline at Mediaite: &;quot;CNN’s Daniel Dale Torpedoes Trump’s Attack On Biden — Rips Quoting ‘Usual Suspects’ Like Fox In Courthouse Rant.&;quot;

If you’re tired of your home security cameras not providing quite enough protection‚ then a Slovenian startup could soon offer something a bit more violent. The new security camera is called PaintCam‚ and it’s essentially an AI-powered security camera that doubles as a paintball gun to help scare off would-be intruders – or just people that it doesn’t recognize. If the idea sounds absolutely crazy‚ then yeah‚ you’re not alone in that line of thinking. The device is set to appear on Kickstarter this month‚ and according to the website‚ it will offer face recognition‚ automatic target marking‚ and AI-based decision-making to help identify unfamiliar visitors that mosey up to your home. PaintCam Eve‚ as the actual device is being called‚ has a very unassuming name‚ sure. But‚ when it finds someone that it doesn’t recognize and they don’t abide by the warnings that it issues‚ the camera actually pelts them with paintballs. Whether or not that’s enough to scare someone off from robbing your home is completely up to the thief in question. But it should at least help make them easier to identify‚ I guess. https://youtu.be/W9VqJB7S_F4&;#63;si=qeW3RCkTVTiLH8e0 But the thing that really makes this smart camera so bonkers is the fact that the company also plans to offer tear gas projectiles instead of paintballs. Yeah‚ you heard that right. This AI-powered smart security camera will actually be able to hurl tear gas projectiles at incoming intruders‚ the mailman‚ or whoever else it feels shouldn’t be walking on your lawn. PaintCam will also give you full control of deciding who gets peppered with paintballs‚ thanks to an alert system designed to let you know when it spots someone it doesn’t recognize. The company also says that some versions of the system will be able to identify pets‚ though exactly how reliable that will be‚ or if it will shoot any strays that wander into your yard remains to be seen. As I said before‚ the camera launches on Kickstarter this month‚ where the company no doubt hopes to garner more interest and see just how many people want a camera system like this. No real specs have been shared for the PaintCam‚ though it will likely come with the usual home security smorgasbord of live monitoring‚ object tracking‚ night vision‚ and movement detection. There are also a lot of questions about just how liable the owners of this particular smart camera might be if‚ say‚ the paintballs or tear gas projectiles were to cause serious harm to someone. But I suppose that’s a question that PaintCam will need to find a way to answer.
