Honestly I never heard of her.

Hopefully, she's good on other stuff as well...

Is that the ad where she slaps her revolver cylinder?

BTW, she doesn't have a chance getting elected.

I have a personal aversion to sensationalized political advertising, and she is big into that.

However, i just find it off putting and probably most likely to be utilized by the inarticulate, its not a deal breaker.

But, “Dont be weak and gay” is solid advise any day of the week,.

The Secretary of State race is between Dean Plocher and Denny Hoskins with an outside chance to Mary Elizabeth Coleman and possibly Adam Schwadron. No one else matters.

It's an eight-person race on the Republican primary so I suppose it's possible that one of the also-rans could have a good showing but that seems unlikely. FWIW, my money is on Plocher.

Valentina who? BTW, here's what Scott Faughn wrote about her in his Statewide Race Tip Sheet:

Valentina Gomez
She is fun to watch in her memes, and may be a star of the future. However, she is gonna have to convert memes to money in order to get any kind of message out in this enormous field of candidates.
Bottom line: This might be a trial run for a future race, as even if she comes up short I tend to doubt you have seen the last of her.

Total Raised this Cycle: $6,750
Cash on Hand: $4,244

By comparison, Plocher raised $150K last cycle while Hoskins brought in $200K.

Where should a child who is coming of age and struggling with their sexual or gender identity expect to find information if not the library? What are libraries for if not to provide information? I suppose there's the internet but that seems more risky than libraries.

They should be directed to their parents.

A lot of these books that groups are getting libraries to stock are more like porn, not medical advice texts written at teen reading levels.

That said the book burning stunt was stupid and a giant red flag for me, mostly because it's sensationalism.

When I was like 12 years old, a buddy and I would walk like 4 miles to a gas station with some quarters to buy condoms with little stick figure drawing books of sex positions.

This was before internet access and we sure as shit were not going to the fucking library.

Children with gender dysphoria contracted the affliction from internet propaganda and not from library studies. Libraries are getting filled with this trash because academia is filled with communists who have been trying to destroy families and hook children into state dependence since it’s inception as a clearly stated doctrinal practice.

I wouldn't know. I haven't read any of them. But I'm sure as hell not taking somebody else's word for it.

Absolutely i've tried to explain this to many people as I literally grew up alongside friends who I saw troon out.

It NEVER had anything to do with the books or school, it was purely from them being left along on the internet and getting in circles of awful mentally ill people they thought were "cool".

Where it gets a little controversial on my part is that I don't think its as intentional as some think, just stupid kids picking awful role models online and the parents not being interested in their online life.

This latest little stunt, if you can call it that, earned her more name recognition than she ever could have bought. I'm surprised and maybe even a bit suspcious that she's getting some much attention from the MSM & larger new aggregator sites.

Seemed kinda cheesy to me but I can't say I didn't agree with the message. Reminded me a bit of some of Greiten's ads.

Libraries are to provide appropriate information.  They are not designed to promote agendas.  

The material provided should be age appropriate and fall on the side of caution.  Material should be restricted just as movies are restricted.  

I wish the library district would send out polls and abide by them.  

The St Charles district is getting plenty of public pushback because they've gone rouge.  

The primary source of sexuality should be family.

If your kid was struggling with his/her sexuality or gender what would you do and say? Do you have the knowledge and resources to help them work through this stuff?

This is why there are psychiatrists and psychologists. Research them till you find the one who believes that "gender identity" issues are possibly a perception disorder, possibly dysphoria, or often, a result of Internet/social media pressure and indoctrination

Knowledge: no
resources: yes

very few parents are dentists so they have the responsibility to find a dentist for their kids.  Same with many needs.  I believe libraries should have information for adults to resource as part of their job of helping their kids.  Kids don't need to be exposed to sexual or gender information through public libraries and schools - that is not their job.
