Florida GOP Ted Yoho Is Packing
He loves the idea of bringing a gun to work.
-------------------------------------
He can’t do it right now. Congressional lawmakers have to apply for a D.C.-specific permit if they want to be armed in the city.
But they are working on that.
-------------------------------------
For Yoho, carrying a concealed gun is just like having a cell phone in his pocket. He’s usually armed when he’s home, and he was packing at a recent constituent event in his northern Florida district. here

Disney Donates Big To Florida GOP
The Walt Disney Co. is betting big on Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam. Since 2015, Disney has given $400,648 to Florida Grown, a committee supporting Putnam, but has also donated $70,000 to a committee run by state Sen. Jack Latvala and $35,000 to a new committee set up by House Speaker Richard Corcoran. U.S. Sugar Corp. and Duke Energy have given to Putnam, Corcoran and Latvala’s committees,

Disney’s donation to Corcoran could be considered surprising since the speaker led a blistering battle against the state paying their advertising bill.

Disney and other companies haven’t given anything to the three major Democratic candidates already in the race.

The Idea World: Tristan Da Cunha
2,567 Miles from Buenos Aires
2,090 from Cape Town
In 1877 William Glass established a settlement based on equality. All Tristan families are farmers, owning their own stock and/or fishing. All land is communally owned. All households have plots of land at The Patches on which they grow potatoes. Livestock numbers are strictly controlled to conserve pasture and to prevent better-off families from accumulating wealth. Unless the community votes for a change in its law, no outsiders are allowed to buy land or settle on Tristan; theoretically the whole island would have to be put up for sale. her
