Florida’s New Communism Education Mandate Reaches Classrooms This Year

Six districts said they are spreading required material across existing classes as Florida begins the first year of a law signed in 2024.


Gov. Ron DeSantis signs SB 1264 into law in Hialeah, Fla., on April 17, 2024. The law expands required instruction on the history and dangers of communism and also creates the Institute for Freedom in the Americas at Miami Dade College and provides for development of a museum on communism.

Florida public schools are beginning the first year of a state law that substantially expands required instruction on the history and consequences of communism.

The law requires age-appropriate instruction on communist movements in the United States, atrocities under communist regimes, Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution and other mass killings, conditions that preceded communist revolutions, and communism in Cuba and Latin America.

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 1264 in April 2024 and the State Board of Education approved the specific standards in November 2025, with instruction beginning this school year.

TAIPEI, Taiwan—Two company executives are facing national security charges after allegedly using Chinese components to fulfill a military drone contract.

The Ciaotou District Prosecutors Office in southern Taiwan’s Kaohsiung City announced on Aug. 18 a case against a technology company executive surnamed Chang and a technology director surnamed Lo at another Taiwan-based technology company.

The case marked the first of its kind in Taiwan, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors launched a probe after the Army’s 8th Field Army flagged suspected Chinese parts during an acceptance inspection of the drones.

Chang and Lo “allegedly procured China-packaged drone chips and Chinese-made flight control boards to assemble drones, while concealing product markings and submitting falsified certificates of origin,” prosecutors stated.

Data Center Backlash Crosses Party Lines Ahead of Midterms

VIDEO

By Jim Morley | Saturday, 22 August 2026 01:53 PM EDT


Data centers have emerged as an unlikely bipartisan flashpoint heading into the 2026 midterms, Newsweek reported Saturday, highlighting that the issue is now reverberating through all six Senate races rated toss-ups by the Cook Political Report.

Voters on the left and right are increasingly worried that the artificial intelligence boom could leave their communities footing the bill through higher electricity costs, strained water supplies, and fewer jobs.

An Annenberg Public Policy Center poll found 61% of Americans oppose new data centers in their communities, including 69% of Democrats and 54% of Republicans.

Annenberg research analyst Shawn Patterson told Newsweek that a 12-point increase in opposition this year was ''not confined to a partisan subgroup.

The backlash has created a political tightrope for candidates trying to balance America's race with China for dominance in AI against increasingly vocal voters who question the local costs of the massive facilities needed to power it.

President Donald Trump has warned communities rejecting data centers risk being ''left behind,'' while House Speaker Mike Johnson has
cautioned that moratoriums could surrender ground to China.

At the same time, Republican governors, Democratic candidates, and local officials across the country have pushed for greater scrutiny, restrictions or pauses on development.

The underlying pressures are substantial.

US_ The Backstory on Bill Gates' Secret 'Q' Clearance Is Revealed — And It Is Chilling ( Kyle Becker - REDSTATE )

The Backstory on Bill Gates' Secret 'Q' Clearance Is Revealed — And It Is Chilling

The mystery surrounding Bill Gates' extraordinary access to some of the federal government's most sensitive information is a bone-chilling look at how America’s elites are corrupting our government.

And the latest trail leads through nuclear research, the Pentagon, DARPA — and, strangely enough, Jeffrey Epstein.

It all began when Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)
dropped a massive batch of government records last month, revealing, among other things, that Gates possessed a Department of Energy "Q" security clearance for more than seven years. 

DOE describes Q access authorization as comparable to a Department of Defense Top Secret clearance. Depending on an individual's need to know, it can permit access to highly sensitive Restricted Data involving nuclear programs.

Gates' authorization was "reciprocally granted" on June 11, 2014, and terminated on December 6, 2021, according to the DOE letter released by Paul. In other words, DOE recognized an existing clearance granted through another federal agency rather than starting from scratch.

Which agency? DOE didn’t publicly say.

But investigator Sayer Ji, who is the Senior Adviser to MAHA Action, has assembled a timeline that provides a potentially important piece of the puzzle — and Paul himself is drawing attention to it.

"Fantastic explainer here," Paul
wrote. "Gates, a private citizen, had 'Q' level clearance, which is equal to a Department of Defense Top Secret clearance and is required to handle sensitive nuclear weapons data and Restricted Data. Was this for DARPA? And why? This was long before COVID-19."

President Trump seems to have had it with Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Thomas Massie. It was one of those vintage late-night posts on Truth Social, but he directed straight fire at the trio. Tucker and MTG were Trump supporters who later left the movement in acrimonious fashion. They’re now thorns in the side of the party, as Tucker spews whatever the hell he wants and Greene, well, seems to have lost the plot over the Epstein Files. Massie has always been who he is, but his schtick wore off, and he was booted in his primary this year. What will happen next is anyone’s guess; Massie has hinted at a presidential run, which will bring further humiliation, but here’s the post Trump sent:

Tucker Carlson just met with Lightweight “Former” Congressman, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie “Traitor” Greene, LOSERS ALL! Tucker’s “Views” have fallen through the floor, and will only get worse. Nobody cares about him any longer in that he has become totally irrelevant, and happens to be, surprisingly, a very Low I.Q. individual. He could barely get out of College, and maybe he didn’t, but only really dumb people can’t make it through that wonderful four year time in life! Tucker wants to run for political office, but he should be required to take a cognitive test. He’s got no chance, but could probably take a couple of points away from whatever the Republican ticket happens to be! Tucker is a loser, and always has been! Marjorie Taylor Brown (Green turns to Brown under stress!), a highly neurotic young woman, went from Ultra Conservative to a Liberal “Fool,” all in a matter of weeks, because I refused to return her phone calls — Not because I didn’t like her, just because I had no time. She was way down in the Polls in Georgia (because I took away my Endorsement), and would have had no chance at winning, so she, just like everyone else, “QUIT!” Thomas Massie has turned out to be a failed politician, and a real JERK. He thought it was really wonderful to vote, “NO,” on everything, no matter how good, strong, or proper the Legislation would be. What a team this would be, THREE LOSERS, and a pocketful of change! The only chance they have is to join the Radical Left Dumocrats, and try breaking into the Primary System. To all of them I say, PRAISE BE TO ALLAH! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Elon Musk, who briefly became the world’s first trillionaire after SpaceX went public in June, is expected to spend up to $200 million on boosting the electoral prospects of Republicans across the country.


🚨Report: Elon Musk is expected to spend between $100 million and $200 million to support Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections

The spending is expected to focus on voter turnout in key battleground states, including the Texas Senate Race to help Ken Paxton

Wired reported that the ultra-rich tech entrepreneur plans on boosting Republicans like Ken Paxton with massive voter-turnout spending as the midterms draw near. Musk conducted similar operations in the lead-up to the 2024 election, which included a $1 million-a-day giveaway for voter registration in swing states.

His midterm spending could dwarf that of in 2024, as he reportedly spent $70 million through his PAC to aid President Donald Trump and down-ballot Republicans while campaigning on the proposed Department of Government Efficiency.

And now the Democrat Party moves into open Marxism territory

COMMENTARY 

By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times - Saturday, August 22, 2026 

OPINION: 


Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the once-darling of the Democratic Socialists of America, has now found herself being pushed from the socialist pack, deemed too soft for the Democratic Socialists of America’s Liberation Caucus. The Liberation Caucus, a block within the DSA, adheres to an even more radical ideology than typical DSA loons, one that favors Marxist-Leninist-Maoist leanings. 

Just when you thought the Democrat Party couldn’t spiral down more. 

This is grab your popcorn, enjoy the show kind of Democrat Party infighting. And just think, if Ocasio-Cortez were to finally get the boot, oh happy day, happy day, and if that boot actually came from within the ranks of her own fan base of fringe leftists — and for the crime of being too moderate, no less — well now, that’d create an entirely new category of Delicious Irony.

TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, agreed to a $400 million settlement to resolve litigation regarding alleged violations of a children’s online privacy law, the Justice Department announced Friday.

The Biden administration’s
Justice Department filed the lawsuit against TikTok in 2024, accusing TikTok and ByteDance of violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act by letting children under 13 create regular accounts, collecting their personal data without parental consent and failing to delete kids’ data when requested.

Under the terms,
TikTok will pay $300 million immediately and $100 million upon vacating the prior consent decree of Musical.ly, TikTok’s predecessor.

Darline Graham Nordone follows Trump strategy with ads on SAVE America Act and transgender athletes

By Claire Carter
Published August 21, 2026 10:20pm ET


Sen. Darline Graham Nordone (R-SC) released a series of ads in the days leading up to the special Republican primary runoff showing her support for keeping men out of women’s sports and for the SAVE America Act, aligning herself with President Donald Trump‘s top campaign messages.

The senator had been under scrutiny for being relatively mum on her policy stances, as she waited until the past week to focus her campaign on select issues.

During a rally in Myrtle Beach,
South Carolina, for Graham Nordone’s campaign, Trump delivered remarks in which he repeatedly criticized Democrats for their stance on voting requirements and on transgender issues, such as men in women’s sports. He joked that he prefers Republican candidates to wait to attack Democrats for their stances, so that Democrats are not able to move away from their unpopular policies before the election.

BEACH, S.C.—President Donald Trump joined Sen. Darline Graham (R-S.C.) on the campaign trail on Aug. 21, as Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), an erstwhile ally of the president, seeks to win an upset from the right.

Graham, sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), has served as the junior senator from South Carolina since being appointed to the post in mid-July following her brother’s death.

The late senator had already won his June 9 primary when he died suddenly from a cardiac illness, prompting the state to set up a special primary election that’s scheduled for Aug. 25.

During the first round of voting on Aug. 11, Darline Graham and Norman won the largest share of the vote, but neither won more than 50 percent so they must head into a runoff election.

Graham, endorsed by Trump, came in first place with 32.8 percent of the vote.
