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.

Citrus Taliban: Mark Grenon

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

Nice action film, kind of a Die Hard at the White House. Jamie Fox is president, right wing actor James Woods plays himself.

Invictus was arrested earlier this year on charges of kidnapping, “high and aggravated” domestic violence​, and possess​ion 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.
