NAACP Issues Travel Advisory for Racist Florida

The U.S government issues travel alerts to countries where crime, civil unrest, kidnapping and terrorism pose a threat to Americans. The federal government has warned against traveling, at one time or another, to uncivilized and backwards nations like Syria, Somalia and Lebanon.

In Florida, under the leadership of Gov. Ron DeSantis, civil rights, women’s rights, and democracy itself has so deteriorated that the NAACP issued a travel advisory for Florida warning potential tourists that recent laws and policies enacted by Gov. Ron DeSantis and GOP Florida lawmakers are openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ individuals.

If you are a person of color or a member of the LGBTQ community you are making a big mistake if you vacation in the Sunshine State. Frankly, you are out of your mind if you are considering moving to Florida.

I feel a little bit hypocritical because I just visited Florida for a family reunion. I beseech my sister, brother and nieces to please move away from that godforsaken state, so I will never have to return.

The NAACP’s decision didn’t come out of nowhere, Florida has enacted laws that are blatantly racist, and would have been popular under Jim Crow. For example, the DeSantis’ administration rejected the College Board’s Advanced Placement African American studies course. The racist DeSantis administration has advocated for measures that ban state colleges from having programs on diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as critical race theory. And they have passed the Stop WOKE Act (should be called anti-Black Act) that restricts certain race-based conversations and analysis is schools and businesses.

The DeSantis administration has made it crystal clear that blacks and other racial minorities and the LGBTQ community isn’t welcome in Florida. So why the hell enrich the coffers of this racist state by spending your vacation dollars in the land of DeSantis?

Tourism is the biggest industry in Florida, make a statement by staying the hell out of Florida, and really hitting them in the pocketbook.

It Could Soon Be Illegal for Dogs to Stick Their Head Out of a Window in Florida

dogs

“Florida Sen. Lauren Book (D-Broward) filed a new bill intended to protect animals by making it illegal to let a dog be in a driver’s lap or stick their head out of a window in the car while driving.

Additionally, Senate Bill 932 includes provisions to make it illegal to have a dog transported ‘on the running board, fender, hood, or roof of a motor vehicle,’ as well as in a trunk, or enclosed cargo space.”

WFla.Com

Political correctness has gone to the dogs. This bill would muzzle the quintessential expression of a dog enjoying the moment. Watching a pooch sticking his head out of a window of a car, tongue wagging, eyes twinkling and ears flapping is an elixir from human beings.

When I’m driving and I see a doggie with its head out the window it’s a reminder that even though humanity is ugly and perverse, there’s still beauty in the animal world.

Depriving a mutt from sticking its head out the window of a car is equivalent to depriving a cat from chasing a mouse or stopping a cow from chewing her cud.

If this inhumane bill passes and the dog owners get caught, it could mean a ticket for a moving violation. The hapless owner could also be stuck with a $1,000 fine and could even lose their pet.

I can understand prohibiting a cruel person from pulling a Mitt Romney and tying his pup to the roof of his car, or stashing it in his trunk, but for the love of God, a canine was meant to stick its head out the window.

Donald Trump Hints He Will Run for President in 2024 While Golfing in Florida

Donald Trump hinted he will run for president again while golfing in Florida.

In a video taken by one of his entourage and posted on social media, Trump was introduced by one of his flunkies with the commentary: First tee, the 45th President of the United States.

Trump, wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat adorned with a 45-logo responded: 45th and 47th! A none too subtle hint that he is seriously considering running again, or at least that’s the impression he wants to leave with his supporters and critics.

If a more serious politician wanted to convey the impression that he was considering a presidential run, he would have posted a video on social media depicted him reading a newspaper or reading a book with a member of his team commenting: Is this the 47th President of the United States?

Of course, Trump is neither a serious nor a well-qualified presidential candidate, and he dropped the hint while golfing, something he did frequently during his term.

When Trump golfed as president, he left the impression that he was lazy and didn’t take his job seriously, but it was even worse when he played at being president and royally screwed everything.

For the sake of our democracy, let’s hope Trump spends the rest of his miserable life on the golf course, and never sets foot in the White House again.

Florida the Epicenter of Trump Cultic Activity, Anti-Vaxxer Mania, QAnon Conspiracy Theories and Evangelical Heresies

“A popular, vociferously antisemitic promoter of the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory was identified as an evangelical Christian man from Florida.

The man, who goes by GhostEzra on the encrypted messaging app Telegram, has more than 300,000 followers and posts ‘explicit Nazi propaganda, including outright Holocaust denial and a slew of conspiracy theories that often range from obliquely to explicitly antisemitic,’ according to Logically, an organization that tracks disinformation online and uncovered his identity.”

Jewish Telegraphic Agency

It’s not a surprise that an infamous promoter of pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theories was identified as an evangelical Christian man from Florida. The Sunshine State is the epicenter of anti-vaxxer mania, QAnon conspiracy theories, evangelical fervor and Trump cultic activity.

It’s also not surprising that Florida, a Mecca of evangelical Christianity, is a breeding ground for vile politicians the likes of Senator Marco Rubio and Governor Ron DeSantis who invoke the name of Jesus while promoting un-Christian policies that disfranchise racial and religious minorities.

White evangelicals make a fetish of the state of Israel, while at the same time many of them believe Jews control the media and the government in the United States and international Jewish bankers control the world economy. They believe that the United States should financially and militarily support Israel, while at the same time they believe Jews secretly run the world.

QAnon cultists like Ghost Ezra believe Trump is fighting a cabal of Democratic politicians and Hollywood stars who kidnap children, and harvest their blood, this is just a new version of centuries old antisemitic tropes.  

There is nothing new under the sun, religious fascists like American white evangelicals and conspiracy theorists like QAnon fanatics have been around forever, and we must never grow weary of fighting their message of hatred with truth, love and justice.

Tiger Woods Arrested on Suspicion of DUI! What’s Next: Retirement or Suicide?

Tiger Woods, golfing icon, was arrested on a DUI charge in Florida early Monday morning, and his mugshot has gone viral.

Tiger`s mugshot makes Nick Notle`s infamous mugshot look like a wedding photograph.

Dead Eyes

Unkempt hair

Scraggly goatee

Bloated face

Generic white T-shirt

 Crooked mouth

This mugshot is a perfect representation of the dissolute state of Tiger`s soul. When Woods crashed his car into a fire hydrant on November 27, 2009 he was exposed as a hypocrite and serial adulterer, and his golfing career and professional reputation has never recovered.

In his mugshot the disgraced golfer doesn`t look like the legend who mastered the greatest golf courses in the world, he looks like a homeless person who would be arrested if he tried sneaking into a golf resort.

If I met Woods looking like he does in his mugshot I wouldn`t know if I should give him a dollar or shoot him right between the eyes to put him out of his misery. Injuries and scandals have robbed Woods of his golfing skills, at this stage in his life and in his career he shouldn`t dismiss ritual suicide as a valid option.

A Tale Involving a Naked Burglar, a Bucket, and a $25,000 Swan Sculpture

“Authorities in Florida are asking for the public`s help finding a large $25,000 swan sculpture stolen by a naked man.

The Polk County Sheriff`s Office said surveillance cameras at Lakeland Cold Storage were recording just before 5 a.m. May 19 when a naked man carrying a 5-gallon bucket squeezed through a gap in the fence.
`Do you call that buck naked, or bucket naked?` the sheriff`s office quipped in a Facebook post.”

UPI

A sordid story involving a buck naked burglar, a bucket, and a $25,000 swan sculpture could only happen in Florida. I`m just surprised that the stolen item wasn`t a $2 plastic pink flamingo.

The burglar must have balls the size of bowling balls, it takes real balls to squeeze through a gap in a chain link fence when you are naked.

The burglar has been nabbed, but the swan is still missing. The naked burglar probably sold in on eBay for $20 so he could buy some meth.

God have mercy on Floridians.

Monster Alligator Struts Across Florida Golf Course: Video

“A large alligator strutted across a Florida golf course proudly carrying an almost equally large fish in its mouth.

Norma Respess captured footage of the gator and its massive trophy as it made its way across a walkway at Seven Springs Golf and County Club in Trinity.”
UPI

When a monster gator nonchalantly strolls across a Florida golf course proudly carrying a large fish in its mouth, nobody bats an eye. Pardon the pun, but alligators on a Florida golf course are par for the course. In fact I wouldn`t be surprised if there are “Alligators have the right of way” signs posted throughout the Seven Springs Golf and Country Club.

In Australia I`m sure it`s not unusual to see a dingo carrying a fat toddler in his mouth on a golf course, and it`s Hollywood nobody will think it odd if a celebrity is boinking a fat bimbo to celebrate a win on the 18th hole.

Dog bites man: Not a story

Alligator strutting across Florida golf course: Not a story

If an alligator beats Tiger Woods playing golf: Story! Then again maybe not, even an alligator with a bad gold handicap could probably beat Woods.

Hot Chick Shoots Guests Who Overstayed Their Welcome

shotgun

“Alana Annette Savell, 32, was arrested Monday on a charge of aggravated battery with a firearm, Bay County Sheriff’s Office officials said.

A woman told authorities that she had gone to Savell’s home with a friend. Savell said they started drinking and were getting too loud, and said she didn’t want them in her home.

Savell armed herself with a handgun and started shooting at their feet from the doorway of the home, officials said. The woman was hit in the legs and was taken to a hospital for treatment. Savell’s boyfriend was also hit in the leg with a bullet during the shooting, authorities said.

The boyfriend allegedly told authorities that he told Savell that if someone is told to leave their property three times, she is to get the gun and shoot it at the ground. If that doesn’t work, she’s supposed to shoot them in the leg.”

NBC News

Today is Thanksgiving, and most of us are going to have to deal with a guest from hell, who simply refuses to leave. You can put away all the leftovers in the fridge, turn off the lights, slip into your pajamas, and the clueless guest won’t take the hint, he’ll still be in your living room, drinking your beers and watching football on your TV.

We’re too polite to simply tell the guest: Listen buddy, it’s time for you to get the hell out of here! But that’s not the way they roll in the trailer park. In the trailer park they have a three strikes and you get shot rule. If you tell a guest three times to leave to no avail, then you grab your shotgun and shoot it at the ground. If that doesn’t work, then you shoot the bastard in the leg.

Not only was the guest shot, but the homeowner’s boyfriend was also shot as well. He has only himself to blame, because he’s the one who advised Savell to shoot guests who refuse to leave.

Moral of this story:

Moonshine and firearms don’t mix!

Decline any invitations to attend a party at a trailer park!

Don’t overstay your welcome, especially if you don’t have a decent health care plan.

Parting thought: Judging by her mugshot Savell doesn’t look all that bad. I would bang her, but I wouldn’t stick around and smoke a cigarette in bed with her, she might shoot my ass when she sobered up.
