George Conway, a vociferous critic of former President Donald Trump, had a billboard put up in Florida that blares in all capital letters, "VOTE FOR JOE NOT THE PSYCHO."
"So, just for kicks, I put up a billboard a few miles south of Palm Beach on I-95 South, perfect for anyone happening to travel from Mar-a-Lago to Doral to, say, play golf," Conway tweeted.
'Congratulations to Kellyanne Conway on her DIVORCE from her wacko husband, Mr. Kellyanne Conway.'
Underneath the message on the billboard there is additional text that reads, "Paid for by George Conway."
"If they’re still teaching 1840’s 'Tippecanoe and Tyler too' in schools 184 years later, just think of how long they'll be talking about [VOTE FOR JOE NOT THE PSYCHO]," Conway tweeted.
Last year George and Kellyanne Conway announced that they were getting divorced.
"We are in the final stages of an amicable divorce," they said in a statement last year.
"Congratulations to Kellyanne Conway on her DIVORCE from her wacko husband, Mr. Kellyanne Conway. Free at last, she has finally gotten rid of the disgusting albatross around her neck. She is a great person, and will now be free to lead the kind of life that she deserves…and it will be a great life without the extremely unattractive loser by her side!" Trump declared in a post on Truth Social last year.

An anti-Hamas billboard displayed in New Jersey that said the Islamic terror group would "chop your head off too" reportedly was taken down after more than 100 complaint calls to cops.
Shlomo Schorr, associate director of the New Jersey office of Agudath Israel of America — the "arm and voice of American Orthodox Jewry" — posted on social media that the "anti-Hamas billboard on Route 80 in Bogota borough resulted in more than 100 calls to police before it was taken down by organizers."

The billboard read, “Oh, don't be naive. Hamas would chop your head off too," according to the image Schorr posted.
NJ.com said Schorr on Friday did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
The outlet, citing NorthJersey.com, added that the billboard reportedly was from JewBelong, a pro-Jewish organization that says its "brave approach calls out Jew-hate. Our signature pink and white billboards, billboard trucks, website, and strong social media presence powerfully confront antisemitism as well as support Joyous Judaism."
NJ.com noted that JewBelong did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Bogota police said last week it was "aware of the billboard message posted on Route 80 in Bogota. The sign board is not the property of the Bogota Police Department or the Borough of Bogota. An organization has privately had the owner of the company post their message on the board, and at this time there [have] been no criminal violations."
Police added that there have been no threats to the community and that the department was "investigating the matter to ensure all community members remain safe."
A number of people had some strong reactions to the billboard's message:

An audio clip, which has gone viral on social media, revealed a teacher at a junior high school in Canada chastising the Muslim students in her class for staying home from school rather than participating in scheduled Pride events. During the rant, the teacher became so heated that she even told Muslim students that they "can't be Canadian" if they do not support legalized gay marriage.
On the clip, a teacher at Londonderry Junior High School in Edmonton, Alberta, scolded students for skipping school "because you think there's some Pride activities going on" that day, and she gave several reasons that such behavior was not "acceptable."
First, she seemed to imply that Muslim students are obliged to support the LGBTQ agenda — which she even hinted was a kind of "religion" — because LGBTQ students have supported Islamic holidays in the past. "They're here when we did Ramadan," she reminded the class, "... And they're showing respect in the class for your religion, for your beliefs."
She then warned Muslim students that if they want "to be respected for who" they are, if they want to avoid racial or religious "prejudice," then they "better give" the same respect "back to people who are different" from them. The relationship "GOES TWO WAYS," she enunciated clearly.
"Back and forth. You want it, you gotta give it," she insisted.
During the two-minute clip, which was reportedly recorded and shared by a student, the teacher also discussed the differences between the laws and values in Canada and the laws and values in other countries. She asserted that all Canadians "believe in freedom" and "believe that people can marry whomever they want." Canada officially legalized so-called same-sex marriage in 2005.
She also seemed to presume that such laws grant Canada better moral standing in the world, and she drew a contrast between her home country and countries such as Uganda, which she incorrectly asserted will "literally ... execute" anyone suspected of being "gay." Under the new law, Ugandans caught engaging in sodomy can face up to life in prison, but the death penalty is restricted only to those who engage in "aggravated homosexuality" involving children, vulnerable adults, or those who are HIV-positive.
According to the teacher, anyone who supports such a law is not welcome in Canada. "If you believe that kind of thing, then you don't belong here," she said. "Because that is not what Canada believes."
"If you don't think that [gay marriage] should be the law, you can't be Canadian," she continued. "You don't belong here, and I really mean it."

TheBlaze reached out to the school for comment, and a spokesperson for Edmonton Public Schools issued the following statement:
Edmonton Public Schools is aware of the audio recording of a teacher at Londonderry School circulating on social media channels. The school and Division are taking steps to address the situation. Due to the Division’s legislated privacy obligations, we are not able to provide any further information.
Since 2019, the Division has recognized the first week of June as Pride Week and held celebrations throughout the city in our schools. It’s an opportunity to recognize the diversity in schools and talk about inclusion, acceptance and kindness. Every student should feel they belong at school. This is a core value at every school across our Division.

The Vancouver Police Department is investigating after activist Chris Elston, also known as "Billboard Chris," says he was assaulted Friday at a trans-rights rally.
"We have launched an investigation into an incident that occurred at yesterday’s trans-rights rally at Grandview Park. We support everyone’s right to peacefully assemble and protest, but we will also hold people accountable for acts of violence and criminal behaviour," the Vancouver Police Department said Saturday afternoon in a tweet that is closed for comment.
"I'll believe them when I see results," Elston said Saturday in a tweet. "Hopefully they conduct an internal investigation into the conduct of their own officers," he added. According to Elston, officers did too little to intervene.
"Billboard Chris" is an activist father based in Canada who opposes surgical and chemical approaches to treating gender dysphoria in children. He reportedly travels across North America wearing sandwich board signs succinctly summarizing his position. He has been interviewed on news and opinion programs including Fox News Channel's "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
One video of Friday's incident in Vancouver shows Elston, already with what appears to be an open cut on the bridge of his nose from an earlier assault in the public park. That video shows a group surrounding him, chanting "f*** you." Police officers are seen standing by as the swarm quickly grows violent.
The video shows one chanting protester with an orange umbrella and a rainbow flag, standing within inches of Elston, directly behind him. As Elston turns, his elbow appears to graze the protester's fluffy coat collar and Elston appears to place his hand lightly on the protester's collar as he continues turning on the spot.
The video shows the protester immediately go for Elston's neck with what appears to be an attempt at a choking type hold. A scuffle ensues as Elston pulls back from the hold, then pushes the protester away, and tumbles toward the group of officers. As Elston creates some distance between himself and the protester group, one female officer among the several officers in view in the footage, appears to be smiling or chuckling.
"I need to sue the VPD. This is obscene," Elston also tweeted.
The first assault at the Vancouver location occurred "within seconds" of his arrival, Elston said, adding that he had called 911 for assistance. According to Elston, the female officer — who appears to be the same officer smiling during the later assault described above — initially suggested Elston might have cut his own nose.
"People can do these things, hurt themselves on purpose ... you provided me no evidence," the officer said, before seeing video of the first assault.
After seeing the video, the officer agrees to "have a conversation" with the people who allegedly first assaulted Elston, "to see what they say."
\u201cAfter my first assault, which occurred within seconds of my arrival, I called 911 for police. \n\nThis officer arrived quickly but stayed in her car, so I walked over.\n\nShe told me maybe I cut my own nose!\n\nMore farcical policing ensued.\u201d— Billboard Chris \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Billboard Chris \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1680366997

An activist protesting a bill was placed in handcuffs outside the Oklahoma State Capitol after he allegedly threw water on a state representative and then assaulted his arresting officer.
On Tuesday, dozens of so-called "trans-rights" activists gathered in the Capitol building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to protest HB 2177, which would ban "gender-reassignment" surgery for almost all minors and for adults who use insurance. The bill would also ban medical professionals from prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children. The measure passed the House overwhelmingly, 80-18, and will be delivered to the state Senate for consideration.
Though state representatives voting in accordance with the will of their constituents would seem to be democracy in motion, some of the activist protesters became enraged after the bill passed. One such activist wearing a pride flag with the word "equality" emblazoned on it reportedly approached Rep. Bob Ed Culver (R-Tahlequah) and hurled water at him.
When a member of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol then guided the suspect out to a stairwell, the suspect allegedly threw water at the trooper and then "open-handedly hit" him "on the shoulder," KFOR reported.
As the trooper attempted to place the suspect under arrest in the stairwell, another activist, who claimed to be married to the suspect, experienced an emotional meltdown. "He's trying to assault my partner!" the apparent male yelled before repeatedly shrieking for help.
Another trooper then responded that help had arrived. "We're right here," the trooper assured the overwrought protester, but his assurances did little to assuage the person in the "transgender" cape, who then screamed that the officers were "actively suppressing" the protesters.
The entire incident was caught on camera, though the alleged attack against Rep. Culver is difficult to see.
Culver has released a statement, confirming that he intends to press charges. "If water being thrown on me had been the extent of the action taken, I would not have given it a second thought," the statement said. "However, I cannot stand by while our highway patrolmen are assaulted for simply doing their jobs.
"Taking all of that into consideration, I have decided to press charges against the individual who assaulted me and the patrolman and will cooperate fully with the law enforcement investigation," the statement concluded.
Freedom Oklahoma, which claims to be the "only statewide 2SLGBTQ+ advocacy organization," tweeted in support of the arrested suspect and even intimated that its members may engage in further acts that defy "rules of decorum."
"It's absurd to demand that marginalized people being attacked also respond within rules of decorum that were never meant to welcome us," Freedom Oklahoma wrote in a tweet thread, adding that it has reached out to the suspect and "ensured they have access to bail support." The tweet thread also suggested that the suspect identifies as "transgender." It is unclear whether the suspect is a member of the organization.

A man identified as Billboard Chris, a Canadian citizen who travels throughout North America to alert people about the dangers of so-called gender transition, especially for children, hailed the arrest on social media.
"The sounds of wailing and gnashing of teeth are like a lullaby to me, as legislators put an end to this child abuse," Billboard Chris wrote in a tweet thread about the incident.

Despite the tantrums, those who proposed the bill in the Oklahoma House remain firm that ending "gender transition procedures" in the state is the right call.
"Common sense tells us that the decisions people make as a teenager may be shortsighted and later regretted, especially in regard to a major action like these irreversible procedures," said Rep. Jim Olsen (R-Roland), one of two representatives who introduced the bill. "Even one child who undergoes a life-altering procedure and later laments their decision is one too many. I'm proud to stand against these reprehensible actions and proud to protect Oklahoma's children."
His colleague, Rep. Kevin West (R-Moore), who co-sponsored the bill, expressed similar convictions. "This legislation is about protecting our children from those who would seek to profit from their gender confusion," West said. "As a state, we must not be partner to irreversible health practices that permanently change the bodies of our children before they are of an age where they can fully understand the consequences of their decisions."
It is unclear when the state Senate will consider the measure.
