So I am posting this in chat because I don't have a specific source--just a general observation of the media and "activists" in Florida. You recall the murders at the Marjory Stoneman school a little over a year ago. The new Florida governor removed Scott Israel, the sheriff of Broward, for his failures on that day. Governor Ron DeSantis then appointed Gregory Tony. Sheriff Tony has spent 12 years as a cop with Coral Springs. He has also worked for the Florida Highway Patrol and the Department of Corrections. He has a masters degree in criminal justice. He is not...

Rapper Eminem released a brand-new track ahead of the final presidential debate titled “Campaign Speech.” The seven-minute freestyle rap covers a wide range of controversial news events that have surfaced during this election season — from the killing of Trayvon Martin, to Charleston church gunman Dylann Roof, to 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his anti-cop demonstrations.
