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

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

Florida White Nationalist Augustus sol Invictus​ Arrested

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. 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 contact​ing his wife until February 2021, according to an affidavit for​ an arrest warrant provided to 
Right Wing Watch. HERE

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
