The Trump administration has taken action to keep a 24-year-old Venezuelan illegal alien behind bars after he was arrested for posing as a teenager for over a year at an Ohio high school, federal officials told The Daily Wire.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed an immigration detainer on Anthony Emmanuel Labrador Sierra, who was arrested by police on Monday after it was discovered that he had been attending Perrysburg High School for over a year, posing as a 16-year-old. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Wire that it had confirmed that Sierra was a 24-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela, and placed the detainer to make sure he remains behind bars.
&#8220;ICE lodged a detainer to ensure that this criminal illegal alien is removed from this community and no longer able to prey on the students of Perrysburg High School,&#8221; McLaughlin told The Daily Wire. &#8220;It is disturbing that a grown man would impersonate a teenager and surround himself with underage girls and boys and fool them into doing God knows what.”
Sierra was charged on Monday with forgery charges after the Perrysburg School District revealed that Sierra used forged documents to obtain legal guardianship, a Social Security number, an Ohio driver’s license, and Temporary Protected Status from deportation.

Local detective Ryan Merrow, who is investigating the incident, told The Daily Wire that the case is ongoing and that more charges may be coming. He noted that the school told him that Sierra was working with an “advocacy group” to obtain protected legal status in the United States.
Sierra attended the high school from January 2024 until last week after a woman came forward claiming to be the mother of his child and showing documents demonstrating that he was lying about his identity. While at the school, Sierra participated on the school&#8217;s JV soccer and swim teams.
According to his booking information, Sierra is six feet tall and 190 pounds with a Rose Mary tattoo on his left arm and a diamond tattoo on his left arm. His bond was set at $50,000, though now he won&#8217;t be eligible for release due to the ICE detainer.

Ohio state lawmaker Josh Williams, who represents the district containing the school, said he was “deeply troubled” by the news and that the people “need answers” from the school system.
“I seriously doubt the school system’s ability to keep our students safe when it can’t even affirm the immigration status or age of this man,” Williams said. “I will be following up very soon with more detailed questions for the school district.”

A 24-year-old Venezuelan man claiming to be a human trafficking victim attended an Ohio high school for over a year while posing as a 16-year-old, local law enforcement said.
Anthony Emmanuel Labrador Sierra, an adult male, attended Perrysburg High School near Toledo from January 2024 until last week after it was discovered he had lied about his age, the city&#8217;s police department said Tuesday. Sierra was arrested on Monday and charged with felony forgery charges after a woman came forward and said that he was the father of her child and that he was pretending to be a teenager.
The Perrysburg School District said that Sierra used forged documents to obtain legal guardianship, a Social Security number, an Ohio driver&#8217;s license, and Temporary Protected Status from deportation.
Sierra&#8217;s legal status is currently unknown, but the Department of Homeland Security tells The Daily Wire it is looking into the matter.
Local detective Ryan Merrow, who is investigating the incident, told The Daily Wire that the case is ongoing and that more charges may be coming. Merrow added that the school told him that Sierra was working with an &#8220;advocacy group&#8221; to obtain protected legal status in the United States.
He said that investigators believe that Sierra&#8217;s real birthdate is March 27, 2001, while the Venezuelan national claimed to be born on December 2, 2007 when he first moved to enroll in high school in November 2023. Sierra obtained a guardian family, which was contacted last week by a woman who said she had a child with him and that he was lying about his identity. The guardian family then contacted the school, which reached out to the police department on Monday.
Merrow said that the police department verified the documentation provided by the woman, proving that Sierra was lying about his identity. He added that any crime committed by Sierra at the school or involving students at the school would be handled by Perrysburg Police.
The school district said Tuesday that they were heartbroken when they found out that they had allowed a 24-year-old male to attend school among young teenagers.
&#8220;What’s most heartbreaking is how many responded in good faith. Staff and local families offered support to someone they believed was a vulnerable teen. Their compassion reflects the best of our community. Though trust was violated, we remain proud of those who chose to help,&#8221; the district said. &#8220;Student safety remains our highest priority. We are committed to transparency and to strengthening safeguards that protect every child in our schools.&#8221;
Ohio state lawmaker Josh Williams, who represents the district containing the school, said he was &#8220;deeply troubled&#8221; by the news and that the people &#8220;need answers&#8221; from the school system.
&#8220;I seriously doubt the school system&#8217;s ability to keep our students safe when it can&#8217;t even affirm the immigration status or age of this man,&#8221; Williams said. &#8220;I will be following up very soon with more detailed questions for the school district.&#8221;
&#8220;When local districts fail this most basic responsibility, you can believe the legislature will get involved,&#8221; he said.
Rampant fraud has been found in many of the immigration programs that were implemented under President Joe Biden, including his parole program that released thousands of migrants into the country. A report from the Department of Homeland Security <a href="https://cis.org/Arthur/DHS-Pauses-Its-Illegal-CHNV-Parole-Program-Amidst-Fraud-Concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found</a> that just a few thousand people were applying to &#8220;sponsor&#8221; over 100,000 migrants.

Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has a clear path to the GOP nomination for Ohio governor after the state&#8217;s attorney general, Dave Yost, announced on Friday that he is suspending his short-lived campaign.
Yost said his chances went from a &#8220;steep climb&#8221; to &#8220;a vertical cliff&#8221; after the Ohio GOP threw its support behind Ramaswamy last week for the 2026 race, The Columbus Dispatch <a href="https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/politics/2025/05/16/dave-yost-drops-out-of-ohio-governors-race/80306921007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;I do not wish to divide my political party or my state with a quixotic battle over the small differences between my vision and that of my opponent. I am simply not that important,&#8221; Yost <a href="https://www.wcpo.com/news/state/state-ohio/ag-dave-yost-suspends-his-campaign-to-be-ohios-governor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>.
President Donald Trump backed Ramaswamy&#8217;s bid immediately after the tech entrepreneur launched his campaign in February. Ramaswamy was initially set to work in the Trump administration alongside Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency, but it was revealed on Inauguration Day that he would not serve in that role.
Yost said he wants Republicans to focus on defeating Democrats instead of a &#8220;family squabble.&#8221;
&#8220;Columbus needs re-engineering, not demolition,&#8221; Yost wrote in a letter to his supporters. &#8220;Sherrod Brown and the risky progressive ideas of his party will unwind all of the good that the last 15 years of Republican leadership has brought. This is a time to protect Ohio, not a time for a family squabble.&#8221;
Ramaswamy praised Yost in a statement and said that the attorney general will continue to play a role in the state&#8217;s political future.
&#8220;Congratulations to Dave on running a thoughtful campaign,&#8221; Ramaswamy said. &#8220;He has served Ohio with great dedication, and I am confident he will continue to play an important role in shaping the future of our state and our nation.&#8221;
While the Ohio GOP rallies behind Ramaswamy, Lt. Governor Jim Tressel — the former Ohio State football coach — said last week that he is considering jumping into the race, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/ohio-lt-gov-jim-tressel-confirms-considering-run-governor-rcna205734" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Tressel was tapped by current Republcian Gov. Mike DeWine to become lieutenant governor after Jim Husted was appointed to fill the Senate seat left vacant by Vice President JD Vance.
“What has been a surprise, and it has been humbling, is how many people are encouraging me to run for Governor,” Tressel said.
“I have not decided yet, but when I became Lieutenant Governor in February, Ellen told me that it seemed like God had more work for me to do, and she was right,&#8221; he added, referring to his wife. &#8220;While I have not ruled out a run for Governor — and there will be a time in the future for those conversations — for now, I will remain focused on helping Ohioans get off the sidelines and into our workforce so they can reach their full potential.&#8221;
In the GOP primary, Ramaswamy&#8217;s only declared opponent is Heather Hill, the former president of the Morgan County, Ohio, School Board, who is running a longshot bid.
On the Democratic side, the former director of the Ohio Department of Health, Amy Acton, is the only candidate who has jumped into the race. Along with former Sen. Brown, former U.S. Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan has <a href="https://www.wosu.org/2025-05-15/democrat-tim-ryan-says-hell-decide-this-summer-if-hell-run-for-ohio-governor-next-year" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed interest</a> in running for Ohio governor.

Vivek Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur and former Republican presidential candidate in the 2024 cycle, entered the 2026 race for the Ohio governorship on Monday evening.
The 39-year-old supporter of President Donald Trump formally announced his campaign during a rally in West Chester Township, a suburb of his hometown Cincinnati, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/us/politics/vivek-ramaswamy-ohio-governor-announcement.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>.
Trump &#8220;is reviving our conviction in America. We require a leader here at home who will revive our conviction in Ohio,&#8221; Ramaswamy said during his speech at CTL Aerospace before declaring his candidacy.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

&#8220;I will lead Ohio to be the top state in the country where patriots across America actually flock to, instead of Florida and Texas,&#8221; Ramaswamy said later. &#8220;I will lead Ohio to be the state of excellence in America.&#8221;
Ramaswamy ran in the 2024 race for the White House before dropping out and endorsing Trump. He was said to be under consideration in the veepstakes, but Trump went with then-Sen. JD Vance (R-OH).
Trump later picked Ramaswamy to help Elon Musk lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). However, on Inauguration Day, it was revealed Ramaswamy would <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ramaswamy-to-leave-doge-ahead-of-run-for-ohio-governor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no longer serve</a> in the endeavor.
Ramaswamy also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ramaswamy-says-he-would-strongly-consider-replacing-vance-as-senator-if-asked" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Daily Wire he would consider replacing Vance as senator if asked. That did not come to pass as Republican Governor Mike DeWine chose Jon Husted, the lieutenant governor, instead.
After Ramaswamy made his campaign for governor official, Trump endorsed him, saying on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114062254652077484" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truth Social</a>, &#8220;I know him well, competed against him, and he is something SPECIAL. He’s Young, Strong, and Smart!&#8221;
Trump went on to say, &#8220;Vivek is also a very good person, who truly loves our Country. He will be a GREAT Governor of Ohio, will never let you down, and has my COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT!&#8221;
DeWine is term-limited and cannot run again. Others who have declared their candidacy include Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost on the GOP side and former Ohio health director Amy Acton for the Democrats.
Former college football coach and recently-appointed Republican Lt. Governor Jim Tressel, ex-Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), and former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) are among those who may also jump into the race.

A medical watchdog says that the Cleveland Clinic is taking hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding while pushing race-based programs and policies.
Do No Harm, an organization dedicated to depoliticizing medicine, reported Monday that the Ohio clinic is engaged in a range of “discriminatory behavior.” This behavior includes recruitment strategies explicitly for minorities, minority-exclusive scholarships, and adopting “supplier diversity” policies. 
“The Cleveland Clinic used to be synonymous with excellence,” Do No Harm Director of Research Ian Kingsbury told The Daily Wire. “Now, it’s becoming an avatar for everything that is wrong with American health care. It’s a sorry tale about the displacement of rigor and dispassionate truth seeking in favor of identity politics.”
According to analysis from Do No Harm, the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine is currently the recipient of around $170 million in <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/kibuq7GWB06JcSYdkf2zpA/projects" target="_blank" rel="noopener">active grant funding</a> from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Around $50 million of this goes toward “indirect” costs while the Cleveland Clinic Foundation has over $5 million in <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/4-9dnUYGF0OnO697kttYaA/projects" target="_blank" rel="noopener">active projects</a> from the NIH, according to Do No Harm. 
The clinic has also pushed a number of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. 
One of the examples cited by Do No Harm included a July 2020 $1.2 million five year <a href="https://archive.ph/LaqAT#selection-423.109-423.130" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grant</a> given to the Cleveland Clinic and Cleveland State University with the goal of increasing the “number of minority scientists in Cleveland area.”
The goal was to recruit “underrepresented minority Ph.D. students and students underrepresented in the science and technology workforce,” and which NIH <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200627052807/https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-20-031.html">defined </a>at the time as “Blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, American Indians or Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders.” This excluded both whites and Asians. 
“In other words, the NIH grant empowered Cleveland Clinic to engage in racially discriminatory recruiting practices,” Do No Harm said of the program. “It’s no wonder, then, that Cleveland Clinic has embraced wholesale the race-centric DEI agenda.”
The clinic told The Daily Wire that it does not discriminate based on race or gender.
&#8220;For over 100 years, Cleveland Clinic’s mission has been to care for life, research for health and educate those who serve. We do not discriminate or create preferences based on race, gender or any other characteristics, and we abide by ethical and legal standards of care with respect to our delivery of healthcare services,&#8221; the clinic said. &#8220;Cleveland Clinic is a nonpartisan organization and we neither have nor promote a political agenda.&#8221;
Do No Harm also drew attention to the clinic&#8217;s Howley ASPIRE nursing program, an initiative designed for high school juniors interested in nursing. While the program description does not mention race, promotional materials produced indicate it was designed specifically for minorities. 
“In providing these opportunities, ASPIRE seeks to address the underrepresentation of racial and ethnic minorities in nursing. More than 30 percent of the U.S. population is Black/African-American or Hispanic/Latino, according to the Census Bureau — yet less than 13% of nurses fall into those categories,” an <a href="https://magazine.clevelandclinic.org/2020-fall/aiming-high" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> in the Cleveland Clinic Magazine for the fall of 2020 says. 
Another example was the “Scholarship for Underrepresented Students” at the Anesthesiology Residency program at Cleveland Clinic. This opportunity, which was advertised as for &#8220;underrepresented&#8221; students, has been removed from the <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/departments/anesthesiology/medical-professionals/clerkships" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clinic’s website</a> though it can still be found on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240915095020/https://my.clevelandclinic.org/departments/anesthesiology/medical-professionals/clerkships" target="_blank" rel="noopener">archived</a> pages. 
Do No Harm also pointed out that the Cleveland Clinic has implemented “supplier diversity” goals which <a href="https://www.clevelandclinic.org/total-rewards/8_69_Diversity%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">are meant</a> to “increase the number of underrepresented vendors doing business with Cleveland Clinic.”
“Do No Harm welcomes additional scrutiny of bad actors like Cleveland Clinic who use their position to inject harmful and radical ideologies into the medical field,” the organization said in its analysis. “These discriminatory practices must be exposed and condemned in order for excellence in medicine to be restored, and for merit (and not race) to be championed.”
The clinic previously came under scrutiny from Do No Harm over DEI-related programming. 
In September, the Department of Health and Human Services’s Office of Civil Rights <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feds-investigating-after-cleveland-clinic-accused-of-treating-white-individuals-differently" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that it was investigating the Cleveland Clinic over its promotion of its “Minority Stroke Program” and the “Minority Men’s Health Center.” That investigation came after the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) filed a complaint with the department on behalf of Do No Harm. 
In recent weeks, the conservative group Consumers’ Research has also been engaged in a public campaign against the Cleveland Clinic, saying that it has pushed racial and gender ideologies. Consumers’ Research Executive Director Will Held told The Daily Wire that the federal funding going toward the clinic needed to be scrutinized. 
“Revelations like this are exactly why President Trump&#8217;s executive action against DEI is so important,” he said. “HHS has a duty and obligation to investigate the full extent of the federal government&#8217;s funding of Cleveland Clinic. American taxpayers have a right to know if their money is being used to fund an extreme political agenda that includes racial discrimination and the mutilation of vulnerable children&#8217;s bodies.&#8221;
The clinic responded to the campaign by saying that it is &#8220;riddled with inaccuracies and lies.&#8221;
President Donald Trump issued an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/ending-radical-and-wasteful-government-dei-programs-and-preferencing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">executive order</a> on his first day in office eliminating DEI from the federal government and cutting federal funding for DEI programs.
The Cleveland Clinic told The Daily Wire that it was &#8220;reviewing and evaluating our programs following the recent executive orders.&#8221;

The Cleveland Clinic, which ranks as one of the best hospitals in the country, &#8220;proudly prioritizes race-based care, DEI, gender ideology, and climate activism over patients,&#8221; a new opposing ad campaign claims.
The new six-figure <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy5oznBwIVo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ad campaign</a>, called &#8220;Cleveland Clinic Exposed,&#8221; was launched last week by Consumers&#8217; Research, a conservative organization that has educated Americans about policies and products for nearly a century.
&#8220;Is Cleveland Clinic the wokest hospital in America?&#8221; the group&#8217;s ad <a href="https://consumersresearch.org/woke-alert/woke-alert-cleveland-clinic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asks</a>. &#8220;They prioritize care based on skin color, perform child sex changes, push transgender propaganda on vulnerable kids, insert DEI into everything they do, and spend millions on climate activism.&#8221;
The ad highlights a statement from the Cleveland Clinic&#8217;s CEO and president, Dr. Tomislav Mihaljevic, who <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/-/scassets/files/org/about/community-reports/sustainability-global-citizenship-report/gri-index-2023.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in 2023: &#8220;Providing high-quality healthcare is only a part of our mission.&#8221;
The ad against the Ohio-based clinic was scheduled to run during a Cleveland Cavaliers basketball game against the Toronto Raptors earlier this month. However, it was pulled from FanDuel Ohio after &#8220;significant external pressure,&#8221; said Will Hild, executive director of Consumers&#8217; Research,
The Cleveland Cavaliers said that it was an &#8220;an organization decision&#8221; to push for the ad to be pulled.
&#8220;This was not done at our request, and we are disappointed this is the decision they came to. We firmly believe the Cleveland community and potential patients should be informed about the priorities of Cleveland Clinic, which put politics ahead of quality care,&#8221; Hild said in a statement to The Daily Wire.
The Cleveland Clinic also sent Consumers&#8217; Research a cease and desist letter, using the same law firm Hild said his group uses for many legal matters. Hild called the letter &#8220;both pathetic and demonstrably false.&#8221;
&#8220;We gladly ignore the clinic’s intimidation tactics and will continue to pressure Cleveland Clinic until it&#8217;s proven they&#8217;ve ceased and desisted from discriminating against patients and performing child sex changes,&#8221; Hild said.
Hild also accused the clinic of &#8220;covertly deleting web pages.&#8221; The Cleveland Clinic appears to have quietly <a href="https://dailycallernewsfoundation.org/2025/02/17/huge-red-state-healthcare-system-quietly-scrubs-website-of-pages-pushing-gender-ideology/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">removed</a> some of the web <a href="https://archive.ph/35jDy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pages</a> on child transgender medicalization since the ad campaign launched.

The campaign <a href="https://clevelandclinicexposed.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">breaks down</a> how the Cleveland Clinic is allegedly &#8220;focused on a political agenda, not what&#8217;s best for patients.&#8221;
It takes aim at the clinic over gender ideology, accusing it of transgender medical interventions on children.
According to the Stop the Harm database, the Cleveland Clinic has <a href="https://stoptheharmdatabase.com/state/ohio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prescribed</a> puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to dozens of people, including children.
In a statement responding to the campaign, the Cleveland Clinic <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/ad-attacks-cleveland-clinic-woke-118863820" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> it does not provide transgender surgeries for patients under the age of 18.

The campaign also points out that the Cleveland Clinic&#8217;s DEI chief <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/podcasts/studies-in-empathy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a 2023 podcast episode that diversity and inclusion &#8220;has to be embedded in everything that we do.&#8221;
In 2020, during the peak of the riots related to the death of George Floyd, the clinic supported the city of Cleveland in <a href="https://newsroom.clevelandclinic.org/2020/06/03/cleveland-clinic-supports-cleveland-city-council-resolution-declaring-racism-a-public-health-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declaring</a> racism a &#8220;public health crisis.&#8221;
Also in 2020, the clinic <a href="https://newsroom.clevelandclinic.org/2020/12/11/cleveland-clinic-joins-coalition-to-create-one-million-jobs-for-black-americans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined</a> a coalition of large U.S. employers committing to hire and promote one million black Americans over the next 10 years.
Last year, the Cleveland Clinic was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cleveland-clinic-accused-of-racial-discrimination-over-health-clinic-for-minority-men" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sued</a> for allegedly prioritizing people for treatment based on race through its Minority Stroke Program and Minority Men’s Health Center.
The next month, the Department of Health and Human Service’s Office for Civil Rights <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feds-investigating-after-cleveland-clinic-accused-of-treating-white-individuals-differently" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opened</a> an investigation into whether the Cleveland Clinic had discriminated against white patients based on race.
&#8220;So in other words, not only are they discriminating against their own employees in the workplace, they&#8217;re also treating different patients differently based on their skin color, which I think is obviously egregious,&#8221; Hild said.
The Cleveland Clinic&#8217;s climate activism is also problematic, the ad campaign says, citing the clinic&#8217;s 2016 launch of a $7.5 million fund to &#8220;drive energy efficient projects across health system,&#8221; among other moves.
&#8220;You&#8217;ve got pushing irreversible transgender, quote unquote, care or what I call genital mutilation on children. You&#8217;ve got them discriminating against their staff, but also their patients, and then you have them pushing their own environmental virtue signaling, which is going to do nothing but raise costs for consumers. So that&#8217;s where we got the line that they may be the wokest hospital in America,&#8221; Hild said.
In addition to its television spots, mobile billboards for the ad campaign are running outside the Ohio Statehouse, the Cleveland Clinic Main Campus, and the Florida State Capitol, Consumers&#8217; Research said.

In a move of desperation, two Ohio Democrats introduced a bill to mock pro-life conservatives, titled the &#8220;Conception Begins at Erection Act.&#8221; 
This bill, proposed by Democratic state Reps. Anita Somani and Tristan Rader, is less a serious legislative proposal and more a pathetic attempt at political commentary.
According to the legislation, Ohio men could face fines of up to $10,000 for the sin of ejaculating without the intent to conceive. This is what Democrats have been reduced to on the important political issues of sex and conception. Instead of offering substantive counter-arguments to the pro-life movement, they&#8217;ve opted for what can only be described as legislative clowning. 
“If you think it’s absurd to regulate men, then you should think it’s equally absurd to regulate women,” Somani said, arguing that protections for unborn babies infringe on a woman’s bodily autonomy.
As America longs for strong values and leadership, Democrats remain focused on defending the slaughter of innocent babies and targeting traditional family values. As Daily Wire host Michael Knowles <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1676-trans-monkeys-explained-in-5-minutes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed out</a>, “The bill specifically targets heterosexual couples&#8221; as it includes exceptions for sperm donors and members of the LGBTQ community. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
The exceptions are what make this bill discriminatory and illegal. The bill offers special protection to homosexuals, wankers, and guys who sell their kids for profit. The only hypocrisy they’re proving is their own.<a href="https://t.co/KExuWo2THb">pic.twitter.com/KExuWo2THb</a>

Democrats aren&#8217;t offering a counter-narrative or a legal solution; they&#8217;re engaging in political theater that mocks those who want to protect unborn children. It&#8217;s as if they&#8217;ve given up on substance, opting instead for a cruel jab that misses the mark by miles.
If this is the best the Democrats can come up with, Republicans might remain in power for a millennium. If this is their idea of &#8220;making a statement,&#8221; perhaps it&#8217;s time for a new scriptwriter in the Democratic ranks.
“The Ohio Democrats are not sending their best,” Knowles added. 
More broadly, the Left isn’t grasping that this sort of messaging doesn’t resonate with normal Americans — Americans who want strong families and competent leaders.
But Woke is holding on for dear life. Leftist lawmakers are engaging in malicious compliance to not only undermine but openly mock your values. Conservatives need to fight tooth and nail on every front they can to maintain the political ground won in the most recent election and turn it into real generational change.

Ohio Republican Governor Mike DeWine announced on Monday morning that he has nominated legendary Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel to be the state&#8217;s next lieutenant governor.
&#8220;He has the requisite skill sets, he has the criteria that I outlined. He knows Ohio,&#8221; DeWine said. &#8220;Jim Tressel, I trust his judgment. He is a born leader.&#8221;
DeWine nominated Tressel to fill the role vacated by former Lt. Gov. Jon Husted. DeWine appointed Husted to replace JD Vance as U.S. Senator after Vance left Congress to serve as vice president in the Trump administration.
Tressel coached Ohio State for 10 seasons, amassing an impressive 106-22 record, including a 66-14 record in the Big Ten Conference.
When he resigned in 2011, he was tied with former Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops for the most appearances in BCS bowl games, according to <a href="https://www.espn.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/id/42586/jim-tressel-by-the-numbers">ESPN</a>.
Tressel had a 5-3 record in those games, including a 1-2 record in games that determined the national champion, the report added.
He is the only coach in NCAA history to win more than 100 games at two different schools, Ohio State and Youngstown State, the report said.
Husted praised Tressel in a <a href="https://x.com/JonHusted/status/1888985347909886450">post on X</a> after DeWine made the announcement.
&#8220;@GovMikeDeWine made a great Lieutenant Governor pick in Jim Tressel,&#8221; Husted posted on X shortly after the announcement. &#8220;Lt. Governor Tressel will continue to advance Ohio’s economic and workforce development strategies. He’s a winner!&#8221;

Former Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) voiced his displeasure after several of the heavy hitters in his party took to the streets to protest billionaire entrepreneur <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk&#8217;s</a> efforts to root out waste and fraud within the federal government.
Videos circulated of prominent Democrats protesting Musk&#8217;s involvement in President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) could be heard shouting, &#8220;We&#8217;re gonna be in your face, we&#8217;re gonna be on your a**.&#8221; Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) warned the crowd that they only had days &#8220;to stop the destruction&#8221; of American democracy as they knew it.
The clip that really made the rounds showed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), holding hands with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), as he chanted, &#8220;We will win!&#8221; and &#8220;We won&#8217;t rest!&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
While Ryan did not say that he disagreed with the reason for the protest, he made it clear that he was unimpressed by its execution.
&#8220;I just don’t even know what to say anymore when I see this kind of stuff. Is it Saturday Night Live or real life? Does anyone really think this is the future of the country? This is the only alternative to Trump’s America? It’s just so depressing,&#8221; he complained via X.

Ryan was not the only Democrat to pan the protests — in fact, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/can-we-play-it-again-cnn-panel-cracks-up-over-ridiculous-dem-protests-against-elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN panel</a> came to a similar conclusion on Tuesday evening as even Democrat commentator Bakari Sellers admitted he was not a fan.
&#8220;I don’t want to hear Chuck Schumer saying, ‘We won’t lose’ and ‘We won’t rest.’ I’d rather have a small business owner up there talking about the impact on them. I’d rather have somebody who was displaced, who was a black woman, who’s worked hard to have her business out there chanting,&#8221; he said.
Republican commentator Scott Jennings thoroughly enjoyed the segment, first asking if host Abby Phillip could &#8220;play it again&#8221; and then adding, &#8220;Ladies and gentlemen: The American Left is so far off the rails, they’re going to have to get Google Maps to find their way back. They’re way gone right now, and it’s glorious!&#8221;

Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jd-vance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.D. Vance</a> visited East Palestine, Ohio, on Monday to mark the second anniversary of the disastrous train derailment that left the small town reeling. 
Vance promised during his visit that the Trump administration would complete the environmental cleanup and work to help the area get its economic footing. The visit comes two years after a train operated by Norfolk Southern carrying toxic chemicals derailed, causing widespread environmental damage and prompting thousands to evacuate. 
“President Trump wanted to deliver a message that this community will not be forgotten, will not be left behind, and we&#8217;re in it for the long haul in East Palestine,” Vance said. “People have to be confident that they can build a business here, raise a family here. That is going to take a long-term commitment, and that is something people should expect.”
He said that it was a “tragedy and a shame” that the cleanup was not completed during the Biden administration.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“President Trump, me, and the entire Administration are committed to ensure to the people of East Palestine that the government does right by them, and we will be working in the months and the years to come,” Vance <a href="https://www.wkbn.com/news/local-news/east-palestine-train-derailment/vice-president-jd-vance-planning-visit-to-east-palestine-to-mark-2-years-since-train-derailment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>. 
&#8220;Is the water clean to drink? Is the air safe to breathe? That is what we were really worried about two years ago. Now, what we’re worried about is finishing this cleanup and getting this community back on the path of economic prosperity.&#8221;
Vance, who as a senator pushed forward a bill to increase railway safety in the aftermath of the derailment, was accompanied in his visit by Ohio Governor Mike Dewine, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, and Sens. Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted. 
Former President Joe Biden was sharply criticized for not showing up to East Palestine until a year after the disaster while Trump stopped by in the town accompanied by then-Senator Vance just a few weeks after the derailment. It was only after Trump visited that then-Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg also came to the small town to survey the damage.  
The Biden administration&#8217;s response to the derailment was also heavily scrutinized after a controlled burn of the chemicals inside the train was authorized, releasing the toxic chemicals into the air surrounding East Palestine. The National Transportation Safety Board <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/controlled-burn-of-toxic-chemicals-that-unleashed-mushroom-cloud-over-east-palestine-wasnt-necessary-federal-official-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">later determined</a> that this burn was unnecessary, saying there were reasonable alternatives. 
A lawsuit was filed on Monday against Norfolk Southern alleging that the company and government officials are responsible for seven deaths that occurred related to the handling of the disaster.

Vivek Ramaswamy is reportedly quitting his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) ahead of an expected run for governor of Ohio.
Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur who unsuccessfully ran for president in 2024, was slated to head DOGE alongside tech magnate Elon Musk. Originally the brainchild of Musk, DOGE is to serve as an outside advisory group to the White House on cutting government waste.
Ramaswamy has yet to make a public announcement about either DOGE or a gubernatorial run, though he plans to announce his bid for Ohio governor next week, according to <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/01/20/donald-trump-inauguration-day-news-updates-analysis/ramaswamy-doge-ohio-governor-00199276" target="_blank" rel="noopener">POLITICO</a>. Last week, Ramaswamy shared a post on X from a parody account floating a Ramaswamy gubernatorial bid, calling it “not a bad idea.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

On Monday, the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th president of the United States, Ramaswamy posted a photo of him and Musk, the two heads of DOGE, celebrating “a new dawn.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The rumors about Ramaswamy’s candidacy come after he met with Ohio Republican Governor Mike DeWine earlier this month about potentially filling Vice President-elect JD Vance’s Senate seat. DeWine passed over Ramaswamy in favor of his lieutenant governor, Jon Husted. Husted’s appointment clears a significant hurdle for Ramaswamy in a potential run for Ohio’s governor.

DeWine is term-limited and set to leave office in 2027, setting up a competitive Republican primary for his governor’s seat in 2026.
In his press conference announcing his pick to fill Vance’s seat, DeWine predicted that both the Ohio governor’s race and U.S. Senate race, a special election for which is scheduled for 2026, would be competitive.
“I seriously doubt that it will avoid a contentious race for governor,” DeWine <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/us/politics/dewine-names-lt-gov-jon-husted-to-fill-jd-vances-senate-seat.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “Just stay tuned. You’re going to see how many people, you know, say that they’re running in both parties.”
Ramaswamy is a relatively new face to politics and has yet to hold public office. His first attempt was a short-lived presidential bid in the 2024 Republican primary. After suspending his campaign, he endorsed Trump and became an outspoken ally for him to retake the White House.
