He asked "can men get pregnant" eleven times at one hearing. Voted no on marriage equality. Votd every anti-LGBTQIA+ issue he could.
Eleven times. What does that tell you about a mind?

Eleven times. That's how many times Josh Hawley asked "can men get pregnant" at one January hearing — a man with one novelty ringtone and a whole Senate to play it in.
Here's what isn't unverified: he voted against the Respect for Marriage Act. He claimed almost half of Netflix's catalog pushes "transgender ideology". #TransRights #QueerNews #LGBTQ #Journalism #Accountability #Resist #Hawley #Politics #Missouri #Democracy #Solidarity #News

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo) secured a verbal promise from Trump's AG pick Todd Blanche that he would prosecute Special Prosecutor Jack Smith (who prosecuted Trump in the past).

Two quotes from this article in the #Atlantic by Noah #Hawley:
- moral reasoning develops through consequences—not punishment, necessarily, but experiencing the effects of your actions on others, receiving honest feedback,
- #Musk called empathy “the fundamental weakness of Western civilization.” When he took a chainsaw to the federal government with DOGE, he did so with the air of a man who believed that nothing matters—poverty, chaos, human suffering.

It's great to see Senator Hawley questioning Zuckerberg at the trial. The two-year-old video has received 2.3 million views and asks fundamental questions to one of the oligarchs who feeds the Trump regime and about his dangerous tool for hate speech, Instagram.
What has changed since then? Zuckerberg has become more powerful.

#NoahHawley sforna l'ennesima opera derivativa di un film di successo per farne una #serietv, ovvero #alienearth, e devo dire mi ha lasciato per ora con delle sensazioni molto contrastanti
Come per (il bellissimo) #fargo, #Hawley usa la franchise cinematografica di derivazione come punto di partenza per raccontare qualcosa di completamente nuovo, ed effettivamente ci sono degli aspetti molti interessanti in questo "redivivo" alien seriale (soprattutto il tema dei "sintetici" che

From AlterNet:
"U.S. Senator Josh #Hawley (R-MO) says the legislation he is filing to send $600 tariff rebate checks to Americans are not for 'Biden voters,' but for 'Trump blue-collar voters.'" . . . . ."'You'd give it to our people.'"
So only those who voted the "right way" get tax moneys paid by all voters? The end of Democracy!
Suggest Stanford U & Yale Law demand the return of Hawley's diplomas. He obviously failed all his poliSci, history, economics & civics exams. -

Can I just take a moment to say FUCK YOU to Josh #Hawley, on of our senators here in #Missouri... You may have forced your way in to the womb, but you will not be telling me what I can install on my own devices. Also, you've lived in #Virginia for years, there will be a legal challenge to your residence before you run for Senator in Missouri again! https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/deepseek-download-to-be-criminalized-in-us-could-mean-20-years-in-prison-100m-fine/ar-AA1ylMxM?ocid=socialshare

Surely we should be calling this “The Spook-Hawley AI Censorship Act”?
I hate it when I’m right; back in 2023 I wrote:
(3) If the Government is encouraged to suppress general access to code, it will attempt to do so; and then the suppressions will fail several years, perhaps a few decades, later.
…comparing this to the old ITAR regime; see also my more recent blogpost on the Regulation of Public [AI] Power; but anyway: via the LinkedIn of Lukasz Olejnik, we learn about this new draft bill:
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Decoupling America’s Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act of 2025’’.
So, DAAICCA? — wherein, from the mind of Josh Hawley, we find:
PROHIBITIONS ON IMPORT AND EXPORT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OR GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
…and restrictions upon:
…RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT THAT BENEFITS THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA…
…and:
PROHIBITION ON UNITED STATES PERSONS HOLDING AN INTEREST IN OR PROVIDING FINANCING TO CHINESE ENTITIES INVOLVED IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.
So basically yeah, some Americans are proposing a huge export-control-based global censorship regime like ITAR all over again, and it will fail the same way if not beforehand / if not also causing more harm to America than good.

Senators are privately (and publicly) saying they hope Donald Trump
💥stays out of the internal election to replace #Mitch #McConnell as Senate GOP leader.Why it matters:
None of them know — or it's a damn good secret — whether the felon-candidate will make an endorsement.But senators and advisors fear a Trump intervention could turn the secret ballot leader election into a public feud.
"I said, 'Sir, if I was you, I would stay out of the race, because there's no win for you in this,'" Sen. #Markwayne #Mullin (R-Okla.) told us about a recent call with Trump.
"I hope not," said Sen. #Thom #Tillis, when asked if he thinks Trump will weigh in. "I think outside influence could be problematic."
"He's offered some views on it to me,"Sen. #Josh #Hawley (R-Mo.) told us. "It's safe to say he has a pretty consistent prediction of who he thinks it'll be." -- Hawley said he did not know if Trump would weigh in.
Between the lines:
This the first real competitive Senate GOP leadership race of the Trump-era,
and his endorsement still carries a lot of weight with a segment of the conference.McConnell has had a tumultuous relationship with the pussy-grabber.
The top two candidates
— Sens. John #Thune and John #Cornyn
— each have had rocky relationships with Trump.
However, they have worked to make amends.After Jan. 6, Thune denounced Trump and initially endorsed Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) for president.
Cornyn has said the GOP needed to move on from Trump.
Senate sources do not talk about Sen. Rick #Scott's (R-Fla.) bid as seriously as Thune's or Cornyn's, though he has a good relationship with Trump.
"Sen. Scott is focused on dramatically changing the way the Senate operates and creating a member-driven process," according to spokesperson McKinley Lewis.Sources often describe Thune as the likely favorite,
though they say not to discount how much Cornyn's long history of hard-dollar fundraising for Senate campaigns means to people.Cornyn told us it's been a few weeks since he spoke with Trump about the leadership race.
But he visited Mar-a-Lago a couple months ago "to talk about planning for the future,"
adding they've been "visiting with some of the transition folks."Mullin said Trump "likes" Thune despite their rocky past.
The Oklahoma Republican has publicly backed Thune.
Some sources suspect there could be a late entry:
NRSC Chair Steve #Daines (R-Mont.) is the most-floated name.The bottom line:
There's not a lot of incentive for senators benefiting from both Thune and Cornyn's aggressive fundraising efforts to commit too early."If one of them felt that they really had a majority, I think they would not be shy about saying that,
but I don't think anybody does," Hawley said.https://www.axios.com/2024/10/03/trump-senate-republicans-mcconnell-thune-cornyn

Stephen Wolfe grew up in Napa, California,
and his father was an admirer of the right-wing pundit and erstwhile GOP presidential candidate Pat Buchanan.After attending West Point and serving in the Army, Wolfe earned advanced degrees before leaving academia to
“do the Wendell Berry thing”
in North Carolina with his wife and four kids.Over the summer, Wolfe, 41, agreed to speak with me on the condition that I refer to him as “Dr. Wolfe”
and call him an “expert on Christian nationalism.”The Dr. Wolfe I spoke with was a more muted version of the firebrand I’d watched online.
He said his ideal version of America would be led by a Caesar figure.
Gay marriage would be strictly prohibited.
Women would not be allowed to vote
—instead, men would vote for their households.When I brought up the bit from his book about heretics being killed, he grew annoyed.
“I do think it’s permissible, in principle, for a state to suppress theological heresy,
but that doesn’t mean that it’s prudent or proper,
suitable in every circumstance or every tradition or way of life.”The Founding Fathers, he added, had encouraged religious liberty,
so killing heretics would not be appropriate in the United States that we inhabit.We turned to remarks he had made at a recent conference convened by Brian Sauvé:
“I think we need to reflect on this idea of Judeo-Christianity,
or Judeo-Christian worldview,
or Judeo-Christian whatever,
and really eradicate that from our thinking.Because if we say that America is a
Judeo-Christian country,
then it can’t be a Christian country, okay?”What role, I asked him, would Jews play?
After a deep sigh, he told me that they would be allowed to “exercise their religion freely.”
We spoke a week before Vance’s RNC speech,
and Wolfe’s remarks helped me understand what the TheoBros heard in Vance’s phrase about
"America as a people".The founders, Wolfe noted, intended for their country to be “Anglo-Protestant with an American inflection.”
America, he continued, is “a place of settlement and rootedness,
but it’s an open ethnicity in which people can become one of us.”Which is to say that, like some others, Wolfe is not necessarily opposed to the idea of nonwhite people in America
—as long as they agree to assimilate to the Anglo-Protestant dominant culture.In this telling, America is not a pluralistic society at all,
but rather one in which there exists an uneasy truce between Christians and those they reluctantly tolerate.Toward the end of our conversation, I asked Wolfe what motivated him.
“I want Christians to be more assertive and to recognize the Christian heritage of the American way of life,
and to seek to restore that,” he said.“This is a Christian country, and we’ve got to work to restore it to what it once was"
In his keynote address at Sauvé’s conference, titled “Why Multicultural Pluralism Fails and What to Build Instead,”
Wolfe called the concept of America as a melting pot
“an early 20th-century idea cooked up by a Jew in New York who despised the confident Anglo-Protestant establishment.”WASPs were the “distinct ethnicity” of America, he insisted,
and America should only welcome those who aspired to assimilate.
As he put it, “This is our homeland, and we welcome you on the condition of conformity.”
Or, in the words of JD Vance, America “is a group of people.”

William Wolfe served in the Trump administration
both as the deputy assistant secretary of defense
and as director of House affairs at the Department of State.He is also an alumnus of #Heritage #Action,
a sister organization of the Heritage Foundation,
the arch-conservative think tank behind Project 2025,
whose chief architect, Russell Vought, posted on X that he was “proud to work with @William_E_Wolfe on scoping out a sound Christian Nationalism.”A few months later, the Bucks County Beacon uncovered a lengthy online manifesto on the goals of Christian nationalists.
The document, which listed Wolfe and Joel Webbon as contributing editors
and Oklahoma Sen. #Dusty #Deevers as a co-author,
called for “civil magistrates” to usher in 💥“the establishment of the Ten Commandments as the foundational law of the nation.”The manifesto doesn’t specify exactly how Christian nationalists should achieve these goals.
As Tabachnick, the extremism researcher, interprets it, the TheoBros are imagining a utopia where “they are going to be free to be entrepreneurs in all different senses,
including the tech world that they’re mixing with so freely.”The key, she said, is that authoritarianism “is required to have the utopian vision.”
Last year, the extremism watchdog group Right Wing Watch posted a video of Wolfe quoting a scripture passage.
There are times when “even the God of peace proclaims by his providence, ‘to arms!’” he says.“If we have ever lived in a point of time in American history since then that we could argue that now is a time ‘to arms’ again, I think we are getting close.”
William Wolfe’s Christian nationalism manifesto made the rounds on social media,
but in mainstream conservative outlets,
it was #Stephen #Wolfe
(no relation to William)
who brought TheoBro ideas to the wider world.In his book, which was praised by editors at the Federalist and the American Conservative,
Wolfe paints America as a “#gynocracy” whose government and culture have been feminized by unhappy women leaders.
(Sound familiar?)He has stated on X that women should not have the right to vote, and that “interethnic” marriage can be “sinful.”

One eager customer is 38-year-old TheoBro #Andrew #Isker
—the pastor who interned at Wilson’s church,
studied divinity at New Saint Andrews,
and co-wrote a book on Christian nationalism with #Andrew #Torba,
the openly antisemitic CEO of the social media platform #Gab.In July, Isker announced on X that he planned to move his family of seven to lead a church in a New Founding community in Tennessee.
Life in his native Minnesota, he said, had become untenable because of permissive laws around trans rights and abortion,
not to mention how hospitable the state has been to #refugees.“Minnesota is one of the top destinations for resettling foreign people hostile to our way of life,” he said.
That month, Isker spoke at a Texas conference about the
“war on white America”
alongside #Paul #Gottfried,
the mentor of prominent white nationalist #Richard #Spencer.The conference was hosted by the "True Texas Project",
a far-right group with ties to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.Like many TheoBros,
Isker sees much to like in Vance.In early July, before Trump announced his running mate, Isker referred to him as
“Senator JD Vance (R-Heritage America).”In late July, he posted a video of Vance and told his 29,000 followers,
“You need to double down on childless cat lady discourse.
Kamala sees happy, large families and hates them.
She wants them destroyed.
She wants you to never be able to have this.
She is a nasty, bitter harridan who hates all that is true, good, and beautiful.”One problem is that there simply are not enough TheoBros to populate Christian communities like the one Isker plans to move to.
Enter #William #Wolfe,
the founder of the
"Center for Baptist Leadership", which aims to persuade members of the Southern Baptist Convention that it,
the largest of all Protestant denominations in the United States,
has fallen prey to the corrupting forces of liberalism.Baptists are only the beginning.
Wolfe wants to win over the entire evangelical mainstream,
which he and other TheoBros refer to as “#Big #Eva.”In August, he posted on X,
“Once you realize that Big Eva thinks it’s a bigger sin to desire to preserve the customs, heritage, values, and cultural homogeneity of your own nation
than to kill the unborn in the womb, you can better understand their moral framework.”#Josh #Abbotoy #Claremont #Institute #Project2025 #Heritage #Foundation #Chris #Buskirk #Rockbridge #Network #Leonard #Leo #Peter #Thiel #Vance #Josh #Clemans #Charles #Haywood #warlord #Nate #Fischer #Brian #Sauvé #Mefferd #Joel #Webbon #dominant #man #submissive #woman #Hawley #Johnson #Lee #Vance #Trump #Turning #Point #USA #Tucker #Carlson #flamethrower #Douglas #Wilson #Calvinism #Vance #hypermasculinity #birthrates #ethnonationalism #misogyny #TheoBros #Calvin #Rushdoony #homeschooling #charismatic #New #Apostolic #Reformation #reformed #TheoBros #apostles #prophets #Bible #postmillennialism #Aaron #Renn #Andrew #Isker #Douglas #Wilson #shared #history #patriarchal #Christian #nationalism #young #pastors #Christian #prince #women #flogging #Franco #multiculturalism #Taylor #Swift
