Local Musicians: Jessica Rose Powell with The Mystic Voices
Shout out to The Mystic Voices singing this original song with me. They've been doing FB live sound spa shows on Mondays at 6PM so be sure to watch. How I wish I could see you girls in person along with so many others. When we recorded this song only a few months ago we had no clue everything would go upside down in the near future. I'm really glad we got to work on a project like this before all of the craziness started. I cherish playing music with artists like you two and it's breaking my heart not playing music with others any more. We need music now more than ever. I'm incredibly grateful for music to sooth our souls through such rough times.

Miami Herald columnist Fabiola Santiago
In a since deleted tweet she insinuated that re-opening beaches in Florida would “thin out” President Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis supporters “who value money over health.”
“Packed beaches should work nicely to thin the ranks of Trump/DeSantis/Gimenez supporters in #Florida who value money over health,” Santiago tweeted.

Citrus Taliban: Mark Grenon
Mark Grenon wrote to Trump saying chlorine dioxide ‘can rid the body of Covid-19’ days before the president promoted disinfectant as treatment
---
Grenon styles himself as “archbishop” of Genesis II – a Florida-based outfit that claims to be a church but which in fact is the largest producer and distributor of chlorine dioxide bleach as a “miracle cure” in the US. He brands the chemical as MMS, “miracle mineral solution”, and claims fraudulently that it can cure 99% of all illnesses including cancer, malaria, HIV/Aids as well as autism. HERE

Florida White Nationalist Augustus sol Invictus Arrested
Invictus was arrested earlier this year on charges of kidnapping, “high and aggravated” domestic violence, and possession of a firearm while committing a violent crime after he allegedly choked his wife, held a gun to her head, and forced her to accompany him to Florida with him. According to The Informant, a South Carolina judge threw out the kidnapping charge and allowed Invictus to leave jail with a $10,000 bond despite Invictus’ wife begging that he stay behind bars for her and her children’s safety. The judge’s order required Invictus to not contact his wife.
Invictus was arrested by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office after violating both the no-contact condition for his release and a protection order forbidding Augustus from contacting his wife until February 2021, according to an affidavit for an arrest warrant provided to

A desperate young man assumes a false identity in order to enter a high-stakes underworld game of Russian Roulette in order to pay off his debts. In this game of power, violence, and chance wealthy men gamble behind closed doors on the lives of shooters who take aim at each other, armed with nothing more than a bullet in the chamber.
Warning this film has a score of 8% on Rotten Tomatoes. I liked it.

Chick Rescue in Ybor City
During a walk with the pupper last night, I heard peeps of distress coming from two different areas. First, I found a wild little one in a grate and knew it was the more urgent situation of the two.
After 35 minutes of failed attempts to draw the baby out of the tunnel, I sadly decided that saving one was better than none, so I set off to find the other. Baby 2 was part of a new hatch whose family had already ventured off before it joined the world. She was alone, cold, and already covered in mites.
Reinvigorated by finding this little one, we went back to the first for one last look - and the chickie was in the open part of the grate! After some serious goalie work, blocking the open tunnels, the baby was finally able

to be snagged! I got the babies home, washed off the bugs, gave them a blow dry, medicated the injuries, and got them warm. Today, they’re lively, fluffy, and ready to be reunited later tonight 💛 BIG thank you to the Carmine’s employee who helped out and to my newest volunteer who had her first rescue - A+!

Thank You Bernie Sanders
"But the most important legacy of Bernie Sanders’ political revolution has been making socialism a force in American politics once again. Most young Bernie supporters would have to go back to the days of their great-grandparents for the last time someone could say that. It is a truly extraordinary achievement. Now, a majority of young people in America – America! – prefer socialism
to capitalism..." HERE

Obama and The Audacity of "Us"
Recently President Barack Obama officially endorsed his former Vice-President Joe Biden. In Obama's endorsement he mentioned Senator Bernie Sanders as "an American original." A condescending remark, really, considering Bernie's campaign, " Not Me, Us", was a huge movement comprised of young, old, working-class and poor people in an era of corporate control of most media, non-profits, and governmental institutions. A corporate system that Barack Obama has

For those of us who supported Bernie's political movement there is a lesson here: any authentic political movement from the Left that, say, a Dr. Nina Turner or AOC might inspire to elevate them into higher office will have to recognize that, like this past Democratic Primary, Barack Obama will be working behind the scenes trying to undermine it. HERE This isn't really that surprising. According to the new book by Reed
Hundt, HERE who worked in both the Clinton and Obama administrations, Obama had already embraced Wall Street's bailout before his inauguration; thus, ultimately giving the big banks more control over our economy while average Americans received no mortgage relief. All this has a lot to do why Trump is in the White House. The remarkable thing is that Trump has discarded Obama's legacy achievements and often disparages his administration publicly. To which Obama has remained rather silent on. I suppose President Obama has been too busy undermining the audacity of hope of the "Not Me, Us" movement.
