Allow us to introduce you to LA County District Attorney Jackie Lacey. Lacey was elected in 2012 and has what can best be described as a “law and order” mentality.
On March 2, protestors came to Lacey’s home and onto her property somewhere around the predawn hour of 5:30 AM to ask for a meeting to discuss the “Black Lives Matter” issues.
Lacey and her family had been followed by people and had received death threats, threats that the police had investigated and only one of which was found to be credible. Of course, when you are the subject of death threats, you don’t have the time to figure out what is credible.
On that fateful day in March, protestors had lined up on the street, blocked sidewalks, gone onto the property shouted at Lacey’s house and then a group of three walked up to the door and was met by Lacey’s 66 year old husband David, who was carrying a weapon and told the protestors to leave. To emphasize the point, he raised the gun and pointed it at the three people illegally on his porch and this conversation took place: (more…)
After staying closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, White reopened the store on May 1, 2020, she put a sign on the door saying “No entry without a mask. If you don’t have one, we do.”
White said she felt like she had no choice to reopen due to financial reasons. She laid off her entire staff, helped them get unemployment payments and began operating the store alone every single day — many of her workers were elders and vulnerable to the virus. Her 72-year old mother has many health conditions that make her immune system fragile. White said she’s been wearing face masks around her mother since long before the pandemic began.

Remember way back when in July of 2017 when five Cocoa teens stood by and watched a disabled man drown in a pond? The incident raised lots of eyebrows as the teens mocked the man before he slipped under the water to never surface again. No charges were ever filed and although some people wanted new laws to be made that would force people to help others, that didn’t happen either. (Frankly, it shouldn’t.)
In 2018 in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire which is near London, England three teens came upon a situation where instead of laughing and mocking, they took action.
In Portland, so called “peaceful protestors” from Antifa and BLM cut off a pig’s head, placed it on top of an American flag, put a police hat on the head, and then set the whole thing on fire.
(There is nothing “peaceful” about arson.)
Nothing says “we appreciate good cops and want bad cops gone” like burning pigs heads.
Imagine for a moment that you are a cop. How would you feel and more importantly, aren’t you on higher alert for those who might seek to harm you and your family?
It’s understandable to react that way.
In this case you have the “anti-cop” or “we hate all cops” movement making things worse with a threat to cops. Such actions don’t make any situation better. (more…)
State Representative Randy Fine (who is in the hospital due to complications / concerns with COVID-19) posted this little gem:
In other words, after botching this entire mess and the “exchange to nowhere,” costing the taxpayers millions of dollars (and more to come,) government representatives from Palm Bay and Brevard County are going to meet and hold a “ribbon cutting ceremony” as if what they did is a reason for celebration.

The title of this video is “Black Woman Says She Is Fat Because Of President Trump & Racism!”
It is from 2019, and instead of taking control of her own life and decisions, a woman tries to make the claim that she is overweight because of “racism.”
The mindless bobble heads in the audience nod in agreement with the woman because, well, because of “racism.”
The comments made by the “Conservative Twins” in the video approach being cruel in their mocking, but there is more truth to their comments than in what the woman says.
We were able to find two studies that dispute the woman’s claim that food is somehow “racist.”
It’s Sunday, so take a day off from politics, pandemics, and storms and figure out the puzzles in this Rube-Goldberg-eqsque challenge of “Which Door Will the Ball Hit?”
Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.
