PRIVACY: DeSantis bans Flock cameras on state roads in Florida.

The move came less than a week after Mr. DeSantis echoed the concerns of Florida residents who complained the cameras, powered by artificial intelligence, go too far in monitoring the public and are being used in some cases for nefarious reasons by rogue police officers and others.

“I’m all about law enforcement having the tools to be able to hold criminals accountable,” Mr. DeSantis said last week during a press conference at Florida International University. “But I don’t want to have this become a surveillance state.”

Mr. DeSantis called for a legislative overhaul of the law governing the use of the cameras, which number in the thousands in Florida.

“I think these cameras, these license plate readers, I think it’s out of control,” he said.

Kurt might have to wait a bit longer for this: “Now, they should correct the false implication that we were paid to spread propaganda for the Pentagon and apologize to us.”

TALARICO IN 2020: Capitalism Is White Supremacy and Texas Oil Is Kinda Racist.

Just wait until campaign ads feature Talarico’s thoughts on capitalism and the state’s oil industry. That will be coming too, along with Talarico’s radical positions on abortion, and perhaps even Talarico’s foolish and uninformed remarks on the Karmelo Anthony case, which blew up last week in a hearing that forced a lot of Anthony’s previous crimes and bizarre behavior into the open. Talarico won’t have anywhere to hide, and while there may be some concerns about Paxton’s baggage, he’s won three statewide elections … and that’s three more than Talarico, or any other Texas Democrat in the past 32 years.

Eschew all modalities of cocksuredness, y’all.

AMERICA’S NEWSPAPER OF RECORD:

Almost as much as they’re excited about this recent development in Roger Goodell’s NFL: Map Shows NFL Teams With Male Cheerleaders Amid Online Scrutiny.

Speaking of the Cowboys, the ghost of Tex Schramm weeps, wonders where it all went wrong for his beloved league.

VANCE REMAINS SILENT:

As Hasan Piker is to Abdul El-Sayed, Tucker Carlson is to Vice President Vance. Speaking to a large Jewish audience at the Republican Jewish Coalition National Leadership Summit in remarks that were supposed to be off-the-record for some reason, Vance dodged any comment on Carlson.

The Daily Wire has posted a transcript of Vance’s remarks. RJC chairman Norm Coleman turned to the subject of “Jew hatred. He mentioned the names of Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Joe Rogan, and Nick Fuentes. Norm observed that they have platformed anti-semites. Carlson has become an insane purveyor of the mind rot.

If Vance gets the nomination in 2028 and doesn’t have a Sister Souljah moment with Tucker, the left’s October Surprise attack ads will write themselves:
