A few ignoramuses with rainbow flags gathered on Sunday at New York City’s Chelsea Piers to protest the participation of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the Jewish Leadership Conference, held annually by the conservative Tikvah Fund. Other speakers at the event included former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer, former U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor and current Tikvah chairman Elliott Abrams, and a slew of conservative Jewish intellectuals.
The timing, at the height of Pride Month, couldn’t have been better from a propaganda perspective for the demonstrators present and behind the scenes. While countries around the Free World are going out of their way to celebrate the LGBTQ+ movement through parades, public-service announcements and all vehicles that highlight “choice” and “identity,” the very idea that any venue would dare to let DeSantis darken its premises presented a golden opportunity for bitching and moaning about victimhood.
This is how the above conference, titled “Jews, Israel and the Future of the West,” got booted last month from the agenda of its originally planned location: The Museum of Jewish Heritage–A Living Memorial to the Holocaust. The excuse for the travesty was that the institution doesn’t “do politics.” Leaning on this phony assertion, the museum ultimately refused to sign a contract with Tikvah.
Given that the site had no problem welcoming Democratic politicians—such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio—the claim was clearly bogus. Still, no official documents had been inked, so the museum was able to reject Tikvah, despite its initial assent.
Naturally, this ridiculous attempt at kowtowing to bullies wasn’t sufficient for the DeSantis detractors who turned out to express their displeasure. Whether those who vowed to boycott Chelsea Piers will make good on their promise remains to be seen. It might be difficult for all the gay couples with upcoming weddings scheduled at Pier 60 to find an alternative in short notice.
But the sentiment that no Republicans, least of all DeSantis, should have the right to talk—in this case, about Jewish issues—was shared by the apoplectic, reactionary hordes. An additional common thread linking them to one another and to their apologists was a total lack of familiarity with the legislation that united them in hate against the governor of the Sunshine State.
This is giving them the benefit of the doubt, of course, since anyone who has read the bill and refers to it as “don’t say gay” is a bald-faced liar. Indeed, it’s not DeSantis who should hang who considers it unreasonable, let alone egregious, ought to undergo a head examination.
First of all, House Bill (HB) 1557 is titled “Parental Rights in Education.” It “prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through third grade, and prohibits instruction that is not age-appropriate for students and requires school districts to adopt procedures for notifying parents if there is a change in services from the school regarding a child’s mental, emotional or physical health or well-being.”
It’s hard to fathom that even the most “woke” of American society would wish to have his/her/their/its (forgive me if I left out the rest of the zillion possessive pronouns out there) toddlers taught about sex at all. Enabling teachers to instruct kids after the third grade is also stretching the boundaries beyond what is acceptable to the parents I know, including those in the LGBTQ+ community.
Secondly, this doesn’t and shouldn’t apply only to sex. It is just as relevant to all topics raised in pre- and elementary-school classrooms.
Parents of youngsters who are barely able to tie their own shoe laces or cross the street by themselves are responsible for family decision-making. This is their right and their duty.
Educators are tasked with what the name of their profession suggests. And if they were to focus on the skills that matter to little tykes, such as reading and telling time, everyone would benefit.
No good comes of inundating 5- and 6-year-olds with subjects that they are not ready to handle. This is why they aren’t forced to study calculus or the origins of communism until much later, whether or not they receive indoctrination in either or both at home from birth. DeSantis simply gave this concept an official stamp of approval, much to the delight of his constituents.
“They can’t cancel me; I’m going to speak my mind,” DeSantis said in his opening remarks to the conference. “You know, I saw that there was a little opposition to me coming here. All I can tell you is this: When the left is having a spasm, that just tells you that, in Florida, we are winning.”
Which brings us to the real impetus for the attempt to muzzle his unmasked mouth: the assumption that he will run in the Republican Party presidential primaries, coupled with the fear that his bid could lead him to the White House.
Their trepidation that the next person to occupy the Oval Office will not be a Democrat is justified. It’s what comes of their having gone off the ideological deep end into woke la-la land.
Ironically, the fact that it won’t be Jewish voters tipping the scales in that direction best illustrates the importance of the conference in question.

So, the Gays have become the homosads and lying, as only the demorat goosesteppers can do and dump on Florida, when the New York gang have turned into the biggest losers of a once great city. And don’t come here or move here. While crime is festering, your dumb mayor had 5 billboards urging Fla. gays to go to NY where you can say ‘Gay’. It’s beyond belief. I’m enclosing my letter to the President of Disney
Subject: Bob Kunst Writes to Disney President
Well you managed to get everyone against Disney. Those who think you didn’t do anything to stop the legislation are boycotting you. Those who see Disney molesting the Truth by calling the legislation, the “Don’t Say Gay” bill,which doesn’t say that at all, so why lie about it and why shouldn’t the 3 out of 4 parents, who agree with Gov. DeSantis on this legislation, including 52% of Democrats, to also boycott Disney already mentioned on Laura Ingraham Show on Fox?
In these difficult and dangerous times, the chaos is acute and Disney is the problem and not the answer.
I’m enclosing our 1976-1980 campaigns that made Miami-Dade County, the “Holy Land of Gay/Bi/Hetero Rights and responsibilities. It wasn’t NY, DC, CHI, SF, LA, but here in Little Old Dixie.
We created the world-famous “affectional and sexual preference ordinance (Dr. Alan Rockway and myself), that Anita Bryant would oppose with Jerry Falwell to stop the ERA, with Florida the pivotal state and Jimmy Carter selling us and America out.
Anita said that Gays were having sex with animals and dead people to deny non-discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodations. She also charged that we were
‘recruiting’ in high schools, in 1976-1977.
We got over 50,000 news clippings alone in 1977, which is every editorial, every columnist, every letter to the editor and everyone who responded to the issue.
Now, in 2022, we see Disney leading the molestation of the truth on this ‘Parents Rights Bill’ and the recruitment of kids in Kindergarten to 3rd Grade, being protected from gender bending and sex ed and indoctrinating these young children with the politics of this homosad bowel movement and ‘woke’ insanity, Disney is pushing, which is really anti-Gay from the Left.
The ‘woke’ homosads keep pushing the madness, you’ve bought, while misrepresenting the real Gay/Bi/Hetero communities.
When Dr. Melodie Moorehead, joined our Transperience Center in 1978 and we collected 18,000 signatures to force Round II and this time we got 142,000 votes from the 92,000 in 1977, that the Associated Press said was the #1 story in America on June 7. We got the “For Vote”, but we did it that no other community had or the open debate we had on human sexuality that opened the nation and world to this reality.
We passed sex education1978 to students, but not to very young children, who barely know how to tie their shoes and need to be kids and not filled with propaganda, that is beyond stupid.
We save countless lives, get millions out of their closets, get thousands of groups fighting back for rights, they all needed and helped and then they ignored us, with the answers to go on their own tangents from ‘woke’ madness from the out of control homosads who have left being Gay to just be stuck on stupid and divisive.
The Black Lesbian Mayor of Chicago, blames ‘unloved kids’ for crime and the over 1000 murders last year, while having over 70 police protecting her, while pushing to defund the police and no bails and no prison for the criminals and no feds, Trump offered, while she claims to have the biggest dick of anyone, will only talk to Blacks in media and then we endure the Jusse Smollette disaster from the demorats and wonder what this is all about with such poor leadership. Is a Black Lesbian fraud any better than a heterosexual one? Gay Pride in Chicao refused to let Jews carry Israeli Flags in their parade while Palestinian Authority is anti-Gay, as much as anti-Jew.
When 43 Gays were killed in Orlando and 52 wounded at Pulse, by an Islamic tied to Isis, the U.S. Attorney General, said ‘we need love and compassion’ while Equality Florida was out raising monies, but not showing up at the trial of the wife, who also participated or kept quiet to the FBI, that dropped the ball on all of this and I schlepped up from Miami and the ONLY one outside the courthouse to ‘Fry he’r, after sending the FBI etc. info on a Muslim Cleric in a mosque in Orlando, preaching that Gays need to be killed.
So Disney wants to invest in 10 anti-Gay countries while preaching that you are on our side. The homosads say they aren’t ‘islamophobic’, while ignoring Saudi Arabia chopping off the heads of Gays, Iran hanging them, Isis throwing them off of buildings and yet you obsess about Kindergarten kids not being fed the gender/sex issues they know nothing about or should at that age, when they are touching themselves and friends for thousands of years, with kids being allowed to be kids.
You praise Human Rights Campaign and offer $5millions to groups, but why them? Hillary Clinton in 2018 is calling 75 million Trump voters, American citizens and taxpayers, “deplorables” and why she lost.Hillary and DNC have had to pay $100,000 for violating Fed. election laws, while spying on Trump before the election and during his term with fake dossiers and using FBI, CIA, State etc. to pull the ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ hoax. In 2003-2008, I ran Hillarynow.com to get her to run and went to 145 cities and did over 1000 media interviews and then she supported a united Jerusalem and once in bed with Obama, wanted to divide Jerusalem, Jewish for 3000 years and Israel ‘occupied’ by Jews for 5000 years and what G-d gave us and millions of Jews were murdered for and now being forced to give it up and reward the very Arabs aligned with Hitler to ‘kill all Jews’.I gave Trump 242 rallies/events and did 1300 media. My campaign was “Trump vs. Tramp”. In 2020 my campaign is: “Boycott China”. After we did the world famous O.J. boycott, Anita was representing, when we won the Statewide Privacy Rights statewide in 1980, Equality Florida, that if we kept quiet it would pass and no help from them as usual. We told the state we ran around about Miami’s 600 murders and that Anita/Falwell said that this would legalize Gay Marriage, Abortion, Pot, etc. and we said ‘yes’ and got 1,1723,000 votes or 60% and beat Jimmy Carter by 300,000. The choice was simple with limited resources and police. Worry about sex and who’s getting high or security for home and business.
There is a book I’m writing about all of this and what we would do with that $5 millions you want to give away from a $25billion corporation.
We do not support that there are 3 genders. Just two thank you and no sex change changes sexes, only personalities.
We do not support the myth that men can have babies.
We do not support trans men competing in women’s sports. With the $5 millions wwould form an international sporting league of trans, make it global and Olympic events, which would resolve the issue and why are trans discriminating against women’s sports?
We would use these monies to put our 200 boxes, 20 cabinets filled with real Gay history and get this info technically into every library in the world, with 48,000 in the U.S. and that would be real branding and real positive and save many more millions of lives and coming out etc. We have the answers and know how we have been ripped off by many liberals as dirty as anything in their exploitations of Gays etc.
Then we have the crime waves, 600 riots, rigged elections,$billions in damages and over 200,000 Black on Black killings since Farrakhans “Million Man March,25 years ago, so that apparently Black Lives Don’t Matter, while Critical Race Theory is pushed and all Whites are racists and then there is the open borders and millions of illegals already here and millions more coming and 20% with Cobid and no masks and it goes on an on and all of it one giant disaster and so now these same enemies within, are rewriting history, destroying our history and heriitage and statues to keep the divisions going that is now taking the role of Anita Bryant only this time from the demorats and why this phoney “Don’t Say Gay” politics against the Gay community by these homosads who have sold out to get the bucks with their absurdities , lies and sabotages..
How does this Left gang, keep its mouth shut on Gay Pride in NYC and Denver refusing to allow Gay/Bi cops to participate, so that the oppressed become the oppressors and you support this madness?
Mayor Pete, the Gay Sec. of Transportation keeps talking about electric cars, while ignoring the genocide in Ukraine or mass gas and inflation prices due to not doing domestic oil production to cater to the Greenies who want to destroy fossil fuels in America and give it to Putin, we’re still buying oil from. While our oil is cleaner than Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, Biden would rather support these dictatorships while Biden and Kamela, the best the demorats have to offer, are so weak and an embarrassment on the world stage, and slow walking help to Ukraine with arms, while the shameful surrender in Afghanistan. leaves the terrorists $85 Billion in arms and Biden doesn’t want Ukraine to beat Russia and it goes on and what about all those Gays/Bi/s etc.in these conflicts losing their lives and where is HRC?What happened to the $!00 millions Mayior Pete got t o run for President, while he ignored the 42 demorats who voted in 2018 against openly Gay, Rick Grennell, as Ambassador to Germany. No the demorats, always there to exploit Gays for monies and votes didn’t want to change the narrative that Trump is anti-Gay when he isn’t or to give Trump a victory. .Kamela Harris, Veep and 6 candidates for Pres., including Bernie Sanders, voted against Grennell.
Then there is Disney involved with China and ignoring the genocide there or slave labor or their WWIII Covid war that’s killed, with demorat, Fauci, CDC, Biden help, over 1 million American and 7 million worldwide. Disney is obsessed with teaching 3rd graders about genders, but not saying a word about the mental health of millions of kids having to wear masks in schools, that don’t wokr, or the lock downs, or the vaccines or the treatments or the hysterics surrounding Covid and Florida, through Gov. DeSantis, didn’t buy all this garbage and lies that made Florida a model for freedom while the nation is still struggling. When ex.Gov. Cuomo kills 19,000 elderly by putting them in nursing homes with Covid, where was the outcry? or the 9000 killed in New Jersey or the 8000 killed by demorat politics in Michigan and in every demorat run state this outrage and where is HRC?
Then there is Russia, working a bad deal with Iran, via Biden, that will give them nukes to use against Israel and America and yes, we’ve lost our minds, but 6 year olds need to change their genders. Got it?.
So Disney caves and Walt Disney is rolling in his grave.
