My good friend the governor has a point

Here is the Executive Order that Governor Mike DeWine will sign on Wednesday to ban intoxicating hemp products for 60 days under an order of a public health emergency.

Thanks to a 2021 override of DeWine’s veto, the Legislature has the power to rescind the order after 30 days.

The Governor’s issue is with the THCA that is marketed like weed at gas stations.

It’s a hemp derivative that gives you a similar high as normal THCA.

I traveled to Strongsville earlier this month to talk to Fred Ode, the ketamine-invested software tycoon looking to topple Sherrod Brown in the Democratic Senate primary.

The mystery of Fred Ode

Can a late-blooming entrepreneur who claims he has more money than he deserves shock the political world and topple Sherrod Brown?

This is on top of Crawley and O'Grady's trip to Japan in 2025, Crawley's trip to Italy over the summer to "observe its childcare practices," and spending $329K in 2024 for "DEI trips" that included a private drag show in New York City and civil rights tours in Selma and Memphis.
