Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Pam Bondi

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi in 2013 was considering joining in a lawsuit against Trump University.  Shortly thereafter, a check for $25,000 was sent to Bondi’s campaign.  AG Bondi (who has since endorsed Trump) ended up not joining in on the Trump University lawsuit. here

Florida INC. Rancid Corpses

Thousands of scaly, rancid corpses dot the banks of the Indian River Lagoon, in clusters from Titusville to Melbourne, likely casualties of widespread algae that's bloomed for months.

Scientists say excess nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizers, septic tanks, leaky sewer systems, air pollution and other sources is fueling the blooms. here

President Obama: Thank You From Tampa Cuban Americans

We never thought we would live to see this. 

Your legacy is secure with us!

Dear Marco Rubio

Rubio called Obama’s historic trip to Cuba “one of the most disgraceful trips ever taken by a U.S. president anywhere in the world.”
----------
"Mr. Rubio, we have tried it your way for over 50 years. All it has done is make the Cuban people suffer. The change you were looking for did not happen. It should be up to the Cubans on the island to decide how they want to be  governed not the deserters in Miami. Dialogue over Isolation works everytime. 
Now we have a chance to show them what Democracy looks like." YCS

Florida Right Winger Todd Schnitt Attacks Alan Grayson

"Recently, a right-wing hate radio host in Florida said that I’m a “mental defect,” that I’m “obnoxious” and “disgusting,” and that I’m a “media whore.”

The verbal mugger in this case was Todd Schnitt, a hatemonger whose radio show is carried in both Miami and Tampa, the two largest media markets in Florida."

Loser Marco Rubio Continues To Attack President Obama

Republican voters have had their say. They rejected Marco Rubio’s candidacy which was built largely on his accusations that President Obama “lacked class,” had committed sedition by “deliberately weakening America”. Four years from now, thousands of American families can celebrate their daughters and sons being alive thanks to the rejection of Rubio and his neoconservative, warmongering policies  by GOP voters which almost certainly would have seen the United States in another Iraq-like quagmire. here

Florida Is On The Extreme: Disenfranchise Prisoners

Florida voters weighed in on who should be the next president of the United States. But some 1.5 million Floridians are left out of that voting process: convicted felons. Florida is one of the worst states to commit a felony and expect ever to vote again, because you won’t be able to. here

Panama City: Police State

“It’s a police state “When there are blue lights in front of Spinnaker and La Vela every night, that’s not welcoming. The sheriff has put the message out on social media that if you come to Panama City and drink on the beach you are going to jail. Not get a citation, but go to jail.” Sparky Sparkman, the owner of Spinnaker Beach Club. here

His business is down 85 to 90 percent compared to last Spring Break as college students have found other destinations in the wake of new laws, including a ban on drinking on the beach in March. Sparkman said it’s not just the Spring Break laws that have taken its toll; it’s also the heavy presence of law enforcement that has chased away spring breakers.
