Florida GOP Greg Steube Wants To Weaken Florida Gun Laws
Sarasota state Sen. Greg Steube, arguably the most right-wing member of the state Legislature. For the upcoming 2018 legislative session, Steube has proposed two bills that would weaken the state concealed-carry law: One bill would allow permit-holders to take guns inside courthouses, and has proposed a bill that would effectively turn the state's "concealed"-carry law into a de facto open-carry provision.
Polk County state Rep. Neil Combee has proposed a companion measure in the House. here

The Gentrification Of Puerto Rico
Facts
In Puerto Rico 90% of electricity is gone for the whole of the island 80% of cellphone towers are down hospitals can barely take care of critical patients. And the death toll has doubled but they haven't got in there yet to recover all the bodies the people are burying Them Bodies where they find them. another tragedy will soon happen to the Puerto Rican people a dam that was built by The Americans looks like it will break that's 30,000 people underneath that dam.
Opinion
I hope that this is a big wake-up call for the Puerto Rican people. The colonial Menace does not care about you. in fact has declared war on Puerto Rico and has not officially change that status. you are denied the right to vote on the one who will rule you as president. that should have been enough for our people to realize that we can no longer go along to get along.

We are a people with land! we can rebuild our nation without the imperialists America. they seek to turn our land into their vacation spot. Puerto Ricans will go the way of the Hawaiians wiped out with no history! no culture!.
but all that can be changed in minutes. When we realize we are sovereign. we do not have to respect the laws of a foreign occupation of our land. I'm building an organization that will strengthen our people reteach original language we are a Noble people who are beautiful in every way. I am a proud borinquen and you should be too that's why I am opening the lines of communication with any of my people that are on Facebook that I'm willing to help build us a destiny of our people to be free! Sovereign! Independent!
Local Civic Leader and West Tampa Businessman Outed for Racist Comments
Tommy Castellano, former GOP Congressional candidate and former Tampa City Council candidate, took to Facebook in recent weeks to not only share his pro-Trump views and commentary, but also to perpetuate racist myths about immigrants. The owner of Castellano A/C Services feels he is being slandered in public for his comments, however, we will let you be the judge. On September 7th, Tommy thought it ok to repost a video saying that “DREAMers and DACA recipients get Section 8 housing, welfare, food stamps, free medical, free college…enough is enough! What do you get?”
DREAMers are millennials who were brought to this nation as children by their parents. They attend American public schools and many of them have hard working parents who risked everything to come here and be productive members of society. Under President Obama, executive action (DACA) was taken to protect these products of the American education system from deportation when Congress failed to pass any type of immigration reform.
In recent weeks, President Trump rescinded that order. Congress is now faced with addressing a growing crisis in our immigration system which cannot afford to deport 12 million undocumented immigrants in America. Furthermore, many DREAMers are now college graduates and make up some of the best minds this nation has to offer. Despite all the challenges and hurdles faced by these children of undocumented immigrants, many are not afforded in-state tuition in certain states. It was only in the last four years that Florida sought to tackle this issue of in-state tuition for DREAMers.
Benefits of attending a Florida university at in-state tuition rates aside, DREAMers and DACA recipients are far from given handouts. DREAMers are not eligible for SNAP benefits or Medicaid. Does knowingly reposting videos and memes from racists media outlets on Facebook because you agree with them make one a racist? You decide.
