    Florida’s Legislature has approved a bill that forbids Chinese nationals from owning property in the Sunshine State, which Governor Ron DeSantis will be signing into law. SB 264, also known as “SB 264: Interests of Foreign Countries,” forbids Chinese citizens from “purchasing or acquiring real property” in Florida or from holding more than a minor “indirect interest in such real property.” The state’s legislators supported the priority bill on a bipartisan basis and highlighted threats to national security as justification for its passing. The law was approved by the Senate in a 31-8 vote and the House with a 95-17...

    Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday took aim at the country’s largest technology companies, which he characterized as a group of "monopoly communications platforms" based on the way they have grown to regulate public discourse. "These platforms have changed from neutral platforms that provided Americans with the freedom to speak, to enforcers of preferred narratives," DeSantis said during a press conference. "Consequently, these platforms have played an increasingly decisive role in elections and have negatively impacted Americans who dissent from orthodoxies favored by the big tech cartel." DeSantis targeted tech companies over content moderation, which he equated to political...
  • Central Florida Police Will Test Your Meth For Coronavirus (Free!)

    03/03/2020 4:35:35 PM PST · by nickcarraway · 23 replies
    The Tavares Police Department is asking people to bring their methamphetamine to the department to have it tested for the coronavirus. “With the rising health concerns associated with the Corona virus we are offering free testing of your drugs. Being that a large amount of narcotics come from outside the US, we want you safe. Bring it by our station and we will test your batch within minutes,” a post on the department’s Facebook page. It's the department's attempt to get meth off the streets in Central Florida, but with a funny twist. The post was a hit on the...
  • Man said he’d ‘kill em with kindness’ — that’s the name of his machete, Fla. cops say

    One Florida man had an interesting interpretation of the phrase “kill ‘em with kindness,” police say. Bryan Duane Stewart, a 30-year-old from Milton, wrote the word “kindness” on a machete — and then tried to stab a neighbor with it on Wednesday, according to a police report McClatchy obtained from the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office. Jail records from the sheriff’s office say Stewart faces aggravated assault and aggravated battery charges and has a $10,000 bond after he was put behind bars at the Santa Rosa County Jail early Thursday morning. That neighbor went on a shopping run to...

    TALLAHASSEE -- Former House Speaker Marco Rubio, of West Miami, is certain to run for the U.S. Senate seat in 2010, following Jeb Bush's decision not to become a candidate. In an interview, Rubio, Florida's first Cuban-American House speaker from 2006-2008, said he'd consider a run "about as seriously as you can consider anything." He'll have a formal announcement in a few weeks, he said, but he's already set up a Web site as a prelude to his campaign and sent out a video to top Republican donors around the state. "Look, U.S. Senate seats are very competitive and very...

    Yet another grafix-filled post from yours truly, this time documenting our monthly Republicans Club meeting here in Venice, which featured Congresswoman Katherine Harris as speaker. This inspired a protest by some pink-clad whacko ladies who both protested outside, as well as attempted to distrupt once Ms. Harris started to speak. We shut them down in both cases, and the local ABC affiliate, Channel 7, was there to get it all on camera. I will be taping their broadcast from 5 to 7 PM tonight to make sure I don't miss it. As the left suffers defeat after defeat every election...
  • FLORIDA'S ELECTION SCANDAL REDUX: The computerized voting didn’t help in 2002 primaries.

    People on both sides of the political spectrum gave Florida voters a lot of grief about the 2000 presidential election – Democrats said that Republicans stole the election through a ridiculous conspiracy that made an episode of The X-Files seem plausible and Republicans said that Florida’s Democratic voters might not be the sharpest knives in the drawer. Yet, spending millions [of voter tax dollars] on equalizing and non-partisan technology for the 2002 Florida primary election has shone light on the real problem: the poll workers in the Democratically-controlled counties are the problem, not the voters.
