2. No athletic team or sport designated for biological females shall be open to students that are biological males.

(2) “Biological males”, persons with the biological indicators of a male in the context of reproductive potential or capacity, such as the presence of a Y chromosome, naturally occurring sex hormones, gonads, and nonambiguous external genitalia present at birth, without regard to an individual’s psychological, chosen, or subjective experience of gender.

“…No athletic team or sport designated for biological females shall be open to students that are biological males…”

Uh, what sports would that be? Just asking.

Right wingnut republican priorities…

Denny Hoskins (r) [2017 file photo].

This morning:

Senator Denny Hoskins, CPA @DLHoskins
Please pray for the victims and their families.
[….]
8:44 AM · May 25, 2022

Some of the responses:

Faith without works is dead.

Praying doesn’t seem to work, maybe we should try something else.

Please do something to prevent this from happening again. You weren’t elected for your ability to pray, you were elected to pass laws.

Your prayers mean absolutely NOTHING!!! You are a disgrace!

Prayers do not stop bullets common sense gun laws would be a fresh approach. Your pro birth but post birth children are collateral damage it’s GUNS no matter how many children die
[….]

This is what Dennys answer is to school shootings. 212 mass shootings in our country so far this yr, when will it happen in Mo.? Blame the elected officials who get rich off the NRA to pass laws that favor GUNS over your child’s life.
[….]

No outrage only prayers that don’t stop bullets
[….]

You passed #SAPA which was opposed by law enforcement and would prevent federal authorities from helping when (not if) there’s a school shooting in Missouri. You’ve made it easier to buy guns.

You don’t care about any of these people. Spare is your false prayers.

Log off, Denny.

#moleg

Obviously we’ve been praying for over 20 years. It doesn’t seem to be working because it keeps happening and you all are complicit and choose unfettered access to guns over living, breathing human beings. So you too can STFU.

Heh

This morning:

Piper for Missouri @piper4missouri
When you’re brave enough to put your hot takes on the web, but not brave enough to let folks comment […] One of Denny’s constituents tagged him in one of my FB posts just to lure him into a response since he won’t speak to his constituents. Very typical of MO GOP politicians.

Denny Hoskins (r) [2017 file photo].

This past week:

Senator Denny Hoskins, CPA @DLHoskins
Unfortunately SB798, the #BigMacWelfare #LobsterFoodStamp bill, was perfected 16-14 last night in the MO Senate. I don’t believe your tax dollars should pay for restaurant food from Red Lobster, McDonald’s, etc. for food stamp recipients. @GOP @MoSenateGOP
⁩[….]
9:51 AM · Apr 26, 2022

There is much hilarity in the responses:

Please provide the list of restaurants that have already signed contracts with the state since this bill just passed last night there are NONE, so your making most of this up. MISINFORMATION

Denny Hoskins (r) answers today, sort of:

Senator Denny Hoskins, CPA @DLHoskins
[….]
Sorry, not misinformation, you just weren’t listening very well. I said these were some of the restaurants approved in California for #WelfareWhoppers and #DelTacoFoodStamps. CA is 1 of 6 states to approve this program. [….]
3:17 PM · Apr 30, 2022

I listened to what you said, and you did not bring up CA in your video ONCE. provide the list of approved restaurants that have contracted with the state of Mo. for this?

He’s caught in gaslighting. Let’s watch him backpedal.

Well his original post has no CA narrative, then he added the link for CA in the response to me, so yes your exactly right. I can find NO agreement with the state of Mo with any Bus., so if he has that provide it

of course you do, punish the poor, make them cook!
Jesus helped the poor.

Disingenuous. This bill allows only elderly, disabled & homeless to use FS at just a small # of approved restaurants that have been approved by HHS to provide a nutritious approved meal. This fills a def need for this small community.

I’m okay with people getting food.

Great job the MoGOP is going with their supermajority! I don’t see ‘brass knuckles’ on your board, figured it was important since it was debated during the pandemic? You should also add ‘defund local public schools’ as GOP wants the money for private schools.

The homeless must cook their food?
What is wrong with you?
Jesus wants you to cook!
Jesus doesn’t want you eating prepared food!

Did you vote to raise the minimum wage to a living wage?
Did you vote for affordable housing?
People live in food deserts & the only food available is often fast food. Not a good choice but better than starvation.
How did you vote on Medicaid?
Stingy Republican.
#moleg

I’d rather my tax dollars not pay you.

You should resign.

#moleg

Via the National Conference of State Legislatures:

2020 Legislator Compensation
Missouri $35,915/year. 43/mile. $121/day. Tied to federal rate. Unvouchered.

$121.00 per day. You think prepared food is off the table for Denny Hoskins (r)?

You’re seriously worried that someone may spend $1 for a burger? That’s a pathetic waste of legislative time & a bigger scandal than $1 meal on food stamps. It’s disgusting that these are the people you pick on. Too chicken to take on serious corruption or HELP your constituents?

I am a psychologist who works with low-income clients. Most of those who receive SNAP benefits don’t get enough to get them through the month. They certainly aren’t going to blow it all at Red Lobster. You should educate yourself instead of relying on Republican hyperbole.

I don’t believe my tax dollars should pay for shitheads like you.

Billions to farmers in subsidies. You don’t have a problem with free money to big Ag. Just don’t want the little people to be able to eat. Hypocrite jerk.
[….]

What an embarrassment to the profession. Penny-wise, pound foolish. Ever heard that one? What a fool.

Not to mention a lack of empathy and understanding for the circumstances of those who are less fortunate.

Expecting anything else?

‘Won’t pass any bills this session’: MO Senate slams back into gridlock after map fight
BY JEANNE KUANG FEBRUARY 16, 2022 5:00 AM

[….]

“I can talk for a long time,” shouted Sen. Denny Hoskins, a Warrensburg Republican and Conservative Caucus member. “If that’s the game we’re going to play, we won’t pass any bills this session.”

[….]

What we’ve all come to expect from Denny Hoskins (r):

Senator Denny Hoskins, CPA @DLHoskins
THANK YOU to everyone who has contacted me in support of a 7R-1D congressional map! Time to stand up and fight for liberty!
[….]
5:10 PM · Feb 7, 2022 from Missouri State Capitol

The irony always escapes Denny Hoskins (r):

Who can reply?
People @DLHoskins follows or mentioned can reply

Problem solved, eh?

[….]

We already did some of the math:

…The total Congressional vote for either Democrats or Republicans in Missouri in 2020 was 2,896,117. The total Congressional vote for Republican candidates in 2020 was 1,723,982 (59.53%). The total Congressional vote for Democratic candidates was 1,172,135 (40.47%)…

[….]More like 5 [Republican districts] (62.5%) – 3 [Democratic districts] (37.5%)….

We’ll finish:

40.47% > 37.5%.

6 is 75.0% of 8. 2 is 25.0% of 8.

37.5% > 25.0%.
[….]

7 is 87.5% of 8. 1 is 12.5% of 8.

40.47% > 12.5%.

Math is hard. Apparently more so for a CPA.

You can count on it.

Last night:

Senator Denny Hoskins, CPA @DLHoskins
Hold on a second…I thought walls don’t work??? DHS $455K for ‘security fencing’ around Biden’s beach home. #moleg
[….]
7:46 PM · Oct 22, 2021

A few responses:

I guess it is too difficult for a CPA to understand protecting a house with a wall is very different from walling off an entire country.

To think this person is a state senator, too.

No one ever said walls don’t work. Notice they arent spending billions for a few miles of wall.

Well, the one with guard towers and mine fields in central Europe sort of worked.

You’re such an obtuse nitwit.

In 2019:

White House Fence Construction

The National Park Service and United States Secret Service began construction on a new White House fence in July 2019. Construction around the 18-acre White House complex will be completed in eight phases using over 3,500 feet of steel fencing. [….]

What will the new White House fence look like?

The current 6 feet 6 inch tall fence will be replaced by an approximately 13 feet tall fence with wider and stronger fence posts. The new fence incorporates anti-climb and intrusion detection technology and is designed to mitigate current and future security threats.
[….]

June 2020:

Donald Trump Put a Fence Around the White House to Keep Demonstrators Away. It Is Now Completely Covered in Protest Art
The fence is designed to keep people at least 600 feet away from the president’s residence.

The fence erected outside the White House by President Donald Trump to keep demonstrators at least 600 feet away has been transformed into a memorial wall for George Floyd and a protest site demanding racial and social justice.[….]

Trump, who campaigned on the promise of building a wall on the Mexican border, had 1.7 miles of fencing put around the White House, preventing anyone from entering Lafayette Park and other open spaces around the White House, where demonstrators have protested for more than 100 years. [….]

November 2020:

On the Eve of the Election, the White House Puts Up Extra Fencing in the Dark

Crews began erecting extra security fencing around the White House Monday evening. The fencing appears to be similar to the type installed around the White House complex this past August in advance of President Trump’s RNC speech. These barriers are in addition to fencing that went up downtown following protests earlier this summer [….]

November 2020:

Secret Service planning for Trump spending lots of his post-presidency in Palm Beach

[….] ABC said renovations to the president’s and first lady’s living quarters are underway with the expectation they’d start spending more time there when Biden becomes president and that the Secret Service has “begun looking at physical reinforcements” to Mar-a-Lago. The agency declined to comment on “the means, methods or resources we utilize to carry out our protective mission,” ABC said. [….}

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

So, anyone want to start adding up the cost of golfing trips?

CPA has difficulty understanding very small percentages

So, public entities should allow businesses even if they aren’t inclusive. Thanks for the input.

The reality:

CDC recommends the following actions be taken in areas with substantial or high COVID-19 transmission:

Everyone (including fully vaccinated individuals) should wear a mask in public indoor settings to help prevent the spread of Delta and protect others.

Community leaders should encourage vaccination and masking to prevent further outbreaks.
[….]

According to the CDC, every county in Missouri’s 21st Senate District is currently at high risk for community transmission of COVID-19.

We don’t have any community leaders.
