Publix supermarket has had a free prescription program since 2007. A list of medications including blood pressure, diabetes, and antibiotic medications were free at Publix for the past 15 years. The supermarket chain claims to have filled over 100 million free prescriptions during that time.
That comes to an end on June 1. Instead, many of those medications will be available for $7.50 for a 90 day supply WITH INSURANCE. So those who have relied on Publix to fill prescriptions will now have to scramble to find insurance.
It turns out that is exactly what he had. This now raises the question: Where and how did he get three fully automatic rifles? Those look like new manufacture.
Two “teens” decided to redistribute a homeowner’s car and got shot for their trouble. Note that the report doesn’t mention the race of those involved, but the local news stations are well known for burying the details of criminals that don’t fit the narrative.
This happened in the Pine Hills neighborhood of Orlando. The city refers to the area thusly: “Pine Hills is one of the most ethnically diverse regions of the Greater Orlando metropolitan area and is a minority majority community.”
For those of you who don’t know, locals refer to that area of town as “Crime Hills,” and it’s an area where you don’t want to get caught after dark, especially if you are white. The area is more than 70% black, and has a violent crime rate that is 73% higher than the average US neighborhood. The crime in the neighborhood is bad enough that there are numerous charities and government programs that are dedicated to lowering violent crime in the area.
The best way to defend yourself in Pine Hills is just don’t go to Pine Hills.
I don’t think it’s any coincidence that this was announced the same week that Musk bought Twitter and is saying he will stop censoring those on the right. Read from the statement:
Disinformation and misinformation propagated and disseminated by both domestic and foreign actors were listed as the first key factors influencing the heightened threat environment, with grievances stoked by unsubstantiated widespread election fraud conspiracy theories and COVID-19 mis/disinformation noted as inspiring violent extremist attacks during 2021.
So job one is going to be the silencing those who are calling shenanigans on COVID restrictions and election fraud. According to a statement made to the AP, “The spread of disinformation can affect border security, Americans’ safety during disasters, and public trust in our democratic institutions.”
I broke this blog away from blogger and onto my own server because I was pretty sure that the left’s big push was going to be centered on silencing those of us who would oppose this takeover of our government. It looks like that will be happening, and they are going nuclear with this sooner than I thought.
Expect sources of information that don’t fit the officially approved narrative to begin disappearing, and voices opposing the government to be silenced. Last year, I reported that the Biden administration endorses the “Christchurch Call,” a series of sweeping regulations to “eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online.”
Scary times, indeed. I don’t think that this election is going to go the way that the polls indicate.
I haven’t posted in a couple of days. After managing to make it two years without COVID, I have managed to catch it twice in as many months. The odd part is that the two episodes have differed in symptoms.
The first time consisted of large amounts of congestion and coughing that lasted eleven days. I had no fever and COVID tests came up negative, but I lost my sense of taste and smell.
This latest bout had me with a mild stuffy nose and cough, no fever, and only lasted four days. I was so tired, I couldn’t stay awake. I wasn’t sure that I had COVID until my wife got sick, took a test, and it was positive. So I took one too, and what do you know, it was positive. Then yesterday morning, I woke up without a sense of smell or taste. This second bout with COVID has been MUCH milder than the first. The only other symptom is copious amounts of sweating.
I have no idea how we caught it. With my wife being a teacher and me working in a busy emergency room with daily contact with COVID patients, who knows?
Joseph Kennedy was a football coach and it was his practice at the end of games – after the players and coaches from both teams would meet at midfield to shake hands – to pause and kneel to pray. Kennedy said he wanted to give thanks for what his players had accomplished and for their safety, among other things.
Kennedy initially prayed alone on the 50-yard line at the end of games, but students started joining him and over time he began to deliver a short, inspirational talk with religious references. Kennedy says he never required players to join or asked any student to pray. He also led the team in prayer in the locker room before games, a practice that predated him.
He lost his job as a result, and subsequently sued the school district. That lawsuit has found its way to SCOTUS. This post isn’t about the lawsuit. It’s about the MSM reaction to it. Note that the story linked here is to ESPN, a sports network owned by Disney, who as we all know is embroiled in controversy over their support for teachers discussing sex with 5 year old children. In class, where the children have no choice but to listen.
So the left is claiming that students seeking the approval of the coach will participate in the religious ceremony of prayer in order to ingratiate themselves with him. This, they claim, is totally different from a teacher leading 6 year old students through an exercise on transgenderism.
As a completely non-religious person, I can say that I would rather the coach lead the children than some pink haired freak trying to convince my child that mutilating their genitals is the way to go.
Remember when the AMA was getting behind the anti gun crusade? Now they are getting into grooming. The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) is publishing a new book for kids that aims to explain puberty and the changes that are coming to their bodies.
The book is aimed at boys, girls, and other. That’s right, now doctors are saying dumb shit like:
With traditional puberty education, whether it’s in schools or in books, we talk about how girls get their periods and boys get erections. But some girls – for example, transgender girls – might not get their periods. They need to understand about erections and those changes in their bodies.
If a twelve year old child is getting erections, they are not girls. They are boys. This is an excellent opportunity to screen any potential doctor for your child. Simply ask them, “Are you a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics?” If the answer is yes, follow that question up with, “What are your feelings about the AAP’s policy on transgender children?”
This should allow you to decide on if this is the best choice for your child’s health care needs. This is a battle for your children. Act accordingly.
I posted last week about a man who ran over another after following the victim’s wife home due to road rage. The police received a call into a tip line, which led to the arrest of a suspect, a man by the name of Dontae Styles.
It turns out that Mr. Styles is pretty well known to Central Florida police. In just Seminole and Orange counties, he has 1 felony arrest, 4 misdemeanor arrests, and 19 traffic tickets in the past 2 and a half years since his 18th birthday.
Most interesting is a felony arrest from April of last year, where he was caught on a woman’s dash camera pointing a gun at her in traffic on Interstate 4. Why? Because she wouldn’t get out of the left lane when he wanted to pass. Even though the incident was caught on video, prosecutors dropped the charges because the case wasn’t “suitable for prosecution.”
In one of the misdemeanor cases from January 2019, police were investigating a motorcycle with defaced tags when Mr. Styles jumped on the bike and attempted to drive away. During that investigation, Mr. Styles admitted that he purposely covers his plates to avoid being caught by police. Charges were dropped because the case wasn’t suitable for prosecution.
Ticket after ticket with a common theme. Speeding, running red lights, no insurance, expired tags, wrong tag on the vehicle, driving while license suspended. In every single case, there would be a fine and perhaps a suspension of his license, which he plainly ignores and continues driving.
Then when he is finally arrested, prosecutors drop the charges because they aren’t suitable for prosecution. Even when he is caught on camera.
All in all, since he turned 18, Dontae has been a one man crime spree. He has shown that he carries a firearm, and now he has advanced to the point where he will kill you if you get in his way. So far, not one prosecutor or judge has seen fit to toss his criminal black ass in jail, but we constantly hear about how black men don’t get a fair shake in court.
Homeowner shoots burglar. The local Sheriff says: “you’re not in trouble. Come see us. We have a gun safety class we put on every other Saturday, and if you take that, you’ll shoot a lot better, and hopefully, you’ll save the taxpayers money,”
To help you decide where in Florida is the best place to live, look at this map. The red areas are good, but if you are a liberal antigun pedophile burglar, stay where you are. You might get shot and fed to a gator.
