    Bezos moved to Florida. Why? Why the hell he moved to this nightmare state from the blessed West? GWB, why?

    Soon Bezos and people with as much money as him will be the only people in Florida who can afford their home insurance bills.

    Tell us… what is DeSantis and his crony GOP legislature doing to fix the property insurance crisis in Florida?

    In Florida what do you charge neo-Nazis distributing hate-filled antisemitic flyers with? Littering, obviously... after all this is Florida.

    Man found guilty of distributing antisemitic flyers in West Palm Beach charged a second time, to have another trial
    Jon Eugene Minadeo II was back in Palm Beach County court on Monday for a plea hearing, in connection to separate littering charges after distributing antisemitic flyers in West Palm Beach back on March 11.

    what else would you have them charged with? Incitement? Disturbance?

    The Party of Lincoln wants to punish any municipal officials who are brave enough to remove Confederate monuments.

    Bill would empower DeSantis to ax local officials who take down Confederate monuments

    A bill that would give Gov. Ron DeSantis powers to prevent local municipalities from removing existing monuments and murals has been formally introduced in Florida.

    The bill comes three years after a mayor in the state drew controversy when he ordered a bronze statue of a Confederate soldier banished from a park.

    If passed, HB-395 could empower the Florida governor to cut elected officials from power.

    “An elected official acting in his or her official capacity who knowingly and willfully violates this section is subject to removal from office by the Governor,” the bill’s text reads.

    It also could grant the ability to impose steep fines on any official involved in removing or damaging the fixtures. The fine would be $5,000 or the cost of the removal and replacement of the monument; whichever is more expensive, according to WFLA.

    And if they go through with a removal, they could be liable for triple the amount required to restore the fixture and could face unspecified “punitive damages."

    On June 9, 2020, a 125-year-old statue of a Confederate soldier was taken down from Hemming Park in Jacksonville, Florida with the use of a crane.

    The predawn hour effort was ordered by then-Mayor Lenny Curry, a Republican.

    “The confederate monument is gone. And the others in this city will be removed as well,” Curry said after the unannounced effort was complete. “We hear your voices. We have heard your voices.”

    Protest followed against the unilateral dismembering of the statue.

    The bill would also apply retroactively to “any monuments or memorials that have been removed, damaged, or destroyed on or after January 1, 2017.”


    Confederate statues have remained a hot-button topic ever since white Nationalists convened on Aug. 12, 2017, for “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, which ended when a 20-year-old Ohio man drove his car into counter-protesters, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer and leaving 19 others injured, including five critically.

    Destruction of our history is totally Stalinist way of doing things. It should be punished in any normal society.

    Because his girlfriend's family lives down there, so the power of pussy compels him. No state income tax is a nice bonus, too.

    Florida's state insurance plan has grown to so many policies that there's literally ZERO chance the fund will be able to survive any large storm that generates a moderate volume of claims. Plus the state insurance plan (Citizens) can simply cancel your health insurance if another insurance company makes an offer to insure the property -- even if the private company never follows through and provides insurance in their offer. This is DeSantis and his crony GOP legislature in action. Let's take a look at the property insurance circus in Florida...
