Remember the good old days when there were only travel advisories and or ban for, what some would call, third word countries? Well now because of the vile vitriol of one Governor Ron DeSantis the state of Florida, a vacation destination, has received a travel advisory by the NAACP.

The wannabe future President has made the climate so venomous in Florida the anyone who is a part of any minority group does not feel safe in the state. Black, Brown, LGTBQ+, these are all groups that are under attack in the Sunshine State. The majority Republican legislature and their fearful leader has passed laws that make almost everything a jailable offence and the fact that the state has very loose gun laws and a stand your ground law makes it more dangerous than being a blonde female in central America.

Florida residents are able to carry concealed guns without a permit under a bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. The law, which goes into effect on July 1, means that anyone who can legally own a gun in Florida can carry a concealed gun in public without any training or background check. This with their ridiculous stand your ground law, ‘Florida’s “Stand-Your-Ground” law was passed in 2005. The law allows those who feel a reasonable threat of death or bodily injury to “meet force with force” rather than retreat. Similar “Castle Doctrine” laws assert that a person does not need to retreat if their home is attacked.’ Makes it really sketchy to go there.

This in top of the don’t say gay rule and the new trans ruling that just passed.

“Florida lawmakers have no shame. This discriminatory bill is extraordinarily desperate and extreme in a year full of extreme, discriminatory legislation. It is a cruel effort to stigmatize, marginalize and erase the LGBTQ+ community, particularly transgender youth. Let me be clear: gender-affirming care saves lives. Every mainstream American medical and mental health organization – representing millions of providers in the United States – call for age-appropriate, gender-affirming care for transgender and non-binary people.

“These politicians have no place inserting themselves in conversations between doctors, parents, and transgender youth about gender-affirming care. And at the same time that Florida lawmakers crow about protecting parental rights they make an extra-constitutional attempt to strip parents of – you guessed it! – their parental rights. The Human Rights Campaign strongly condemns this bill and will continue to fight for LGBTQ+ youth and their families who deserve better from their elected leaders.”

This law makes it possible for anyone to just accuse someone of gender affirming care to have their child taken from them this would include someone traveling from out of state. This alone justifies a travel ban to the Magic Kingdom for families.

Oh, and I haven’t even mentioned DeSantis holy war with Disney, the largest employer in the state. I really hope the Mouse eats this ass holes lunch.

Well that’s enough bitching, thanks again for suffering though my rant.

       New judge on the bench for this trial and hopefully she will not be taken off the case. Trump got a judge that he put on the bench in Florida and has basically called the shots and the DOJ has yet to put her on notice. Now a new trial and a different judge and Trump wants her revived and the location of the trial moved as he knows he can not get a fair trial from that judge or in DC.

       Now Bill Barr is saying that the DOJ is using a double standard on Hunter Biden than on Donald Trump. The double standard that has happened is the fact that anyone else would have been locked up months ago had they been caught with just one tenth the crap that Trump has been up to. 

       This has taken a few days to write as we have now seen the Georgia case being brought and more problems for Mr. Above the Law. So I have a question, what is with the fist pose? It looks like a modified Black Power salute, is it supposed to be a modified Hiel Hitler salute or just what is it and why is it needed? Are we all supposed to show our loyalty this way, and are we being marked for brutality if we do not salute and he gets back in office? There is only one way to salute and one object that deserves to be saluted and that is the Stars and Stripes when it represents America not the phony patriots. 

       Trial dates have been set, with luck they will go when scheduled. It will not be lucky for Trump but then who cares, no thinking person gives a damn.

       Other issues that need consideration are very important. This is supposed to be the land of opportunity where anyone can become anything they want. It has some merit to the idea as a man that started life in a log cabin made it to the White House as did a man that is a slum lord and a liar and a thief not to mention ego maniac. His time in office was suppose to be the greatest 4 years that we have seen in how long, and yet cleaning up his mess has brought about rampant homelessness, seen business closures at a higher rate than we seen in quite some time and the supreme effort of the party represented by Trump to take away the rights and freedoms of more of our citizens than has happen since the age of slavery. This is not only a very disgusting situation but because they are so proud of their actions it is ruinous to the entire country. 

       The hype is about WOKE being such a terrible thing, and yet these malevolent individuals are all supposed to be such religious followers. Being kind and generous to your fellow humans does not make you stupid, if anything it should allow you to sleep at night knowing you are not the cause of suffering by others.

       Florida is suffering from weather problems, and the Gov has declared an emergency. Will those citizens get support in their time of need? When California was on fire because the national forest was burning our then leader chose to call them traitors and stupid and whatever for not managing the forests correctly. The forests are national, not California’s so who is supposed to manage them? Do we now belittle Florida for not managing the surrounding ocean correctly and leave them to manage on their own? Isn’t helping people a WOKE thing and hasn’t the Gov declared that Florida is where WOKE goes to die? Just asking.

  • Google

    What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

    My latest web search what is the particulars of Nelson Mandela‘s, and Adolf Hitler‘s arrest and incarceration so that I could write Yesterdays post equivocation.

  • Equivocation:

    (the use of ambiguous language to conceal the truth or to avoid committing oneself; prevarication.)

    Saw a truck today flying a Trump 2024 Flag with a large painted sign on the back and side of the truck that said, ‘Mandela was arrested too’.

    So now the RedHat minions are trying to draw a comparison line between Nelson Mandela and DJT. Do these morons know that Hitler was also incarcerated… I think there is more of a through line in that historical comparison than Mandela.

    While it is true that Mandela was part of a rebellion against the Apartheid South African regime, but he wasn’t sitting in Government at the time. Trump do to his narcistic compulsion to never admit defeat tried every angle to circumvent the will of the people in a fare election to the point of inciting a mob of his followers to storm the capitol to overthrow counting and certification of state electors.  

    When the Nazi party attempted to seize power in the Bavarian capital of Munich in November 1923, a number of Adolf Hitler’s brown-shirted ruffians were killed or injured when the right-wing marchers were confronted by troops loyal to the government. With the outbreak of violence, rumors swirled that Hitler himself had been killed during the abortive Beer Hall Putsch.  

    Mandela’s aim was to incite revolt. In the early 1950s, the ANC and the South African Indian Congress launched a nonviolent operation of strikes and protests called the Defiance Campaign against the unjust laws of apartheid.

    Still drawing a clearer line from Hitler to Trump. Hitler severed 9 months in jail and wrote Mien Kompf, Mandela was sentenced to life and served 27 years. According to accounts Hitler’s time behind bars was a holiday. I honestly don’t see Donny Dumbass serving a minute behind bars because our system of ‘blind justice’ has a severe problem putting rich white men behind bars.

    Please trying to deify this Orange Menace making something he never was or ever will be, he is and always has been a Bully that always got his way… his biggest mistake was running for President and winning because otherwise no one would have given two shits about his criminality, He could have faded into obscurity as TV game show host and a wannabe mogul and the world would have be a much better place in that time line.

    Thanks for tolerating another Rant…

    What TV shows did you watch as a kid?

    Grew up in the 70s and we moved around a lot because my dad was military so mostly Saturday morning cartoons was the only thing I remember from my childhood.
