Trump says he’s getting ready for Chicago. Wrong! A disgrace in the making!

A repetitious statement: Children in Gaza are starving to death.

Florida moves to end all school vaccine mandates. Florida becomes the first State in the Nation to do so.

Trump is growing frustrated with Putin. Unhappy with Putin’s actions in Beijing.

States plan on snubbing Kennedy. States announce plans to coordinate on vaccines. The Nation will not accept Kennedy’s anti-vaccine program. The people understand Kennedy’s anti-vaccine program is an “access to death.”

A strange situation has developed re the special painted intersections. Florida’s Governor and Legislature agree they both support the paintings. If such is the case, why all the bally-ho regarding them?

A wow revelation! The Key West City budget. Read the following: “Watch the City budget hearings this week about pay increases. They will say 2.9 percent  increase for staff and CBA for union employees – meaning they get what is in the union contract. That actual number is 12 percent. Why is the administration allowed to cover up the disparity? We need full transparency in the budget.”
