Osceola County, Florida is outsourcing their teachers. Next up: outsourcing cops
Price Controls
Orlando Rent Control
Rent control will be on the Orange County, Florida ballot in November. You can always count on Democrats to put “get out the leftie vote” items on the ballot. Things like legalizing weed, rent control, free shit.
The bill would restrict rent increases to the rate of inflation or 5%, whichever is less. While I don’t own any property in Orange county, this sort of socialist insanity is dangerous. Let me use my own rental as an example:
So I own a home that I rent out for $1850. That would cap any rent increase at $92.50 per month, or $1100 a year. As I posted last month, my property taxes are up 10%, my landscaping costs are up 15%, insurance costs up 21%, and interest (in dollars) on the mortgage is up 18% year over year. No one caps my expenses.
If this were to come to pass, I would have to be creative in making up the shortfall. Say, increase the rent by the maximum amount, then start adding fees like washer and dryer rental, landscaping fees, parking permit fees, etc. The lease would plainly say that they are not part of the rent, but are still required. I don’t know, I would have to see the final law and talk to my lawyer.
This won’t end well for landlords OR tenants. Socialist price controls never do.
Police State
Those Pesky Amendments
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Trump and his attorneys have been denied a copy of the search warrant that was the basis for searching his home, and further are being denied access to the probable cause that was the basis of the warrant.
Trump attorney Christina Bobb was the attorney who was on site. She explains that they initially wouldn’t even let her see the warrant, but then did; they were reluctant to let them have it. It’s not clear from what she says if they ultimately were able to obtain it at some point. She also explained that the probable cause for the warrant was sealed, so that they can’t even know what it was
Now the Courts have ruled that the IRS can forward Trump’s tax returns to Congress, who will use them as evidence that he has committed a crime. The IRS has long pointed to court cases where SCOTUS has ruled that filing a tax return isn’t a violation of your Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination. This now proves that to be incorrect, at least if you have become public enemy number one.
That also ignores the entire question as to how Congress has become a law enforcement body, which destroys separation of powers. Congress claims that, in demanding Trump’s tax returns, they aren’t investigating Trump, but are simply conducting oversight of the IRS. Who really believes that?
Then there is the NY Attorney General, who ran for office on a platform of convicting Donald Trump of something. Anything. So it’s no wonder he is pleading the Fifth at every deposition.
No matter what, they are going to perp walk him before November. Does he still get a Secret Service detail in prison? The stated goal of the left for all of this activity is to prevent him from running for office.
Not just a coincidence that today is the third anniversary of Jeffery Epstein not killing himself.
Military
Rotting Carcass
We keep hearing from the left how our Ar-15s are no use against an Army that has tanks, aircraft, and artillery. I won’t even bother finding a link to any of those claims. We have all heard them before. But what if all of those toys don’t have any people to run them?
The Army is supposed to be able to engage in Corps level engagements by 2035. The problem with that is our Army is having trouble meeting recruiting goals, and will likely have fewer than 450,000 personnel by October 2023 (pdf alert). That means our Army has only 31 active duty brigades, and those will be understrength. To even reach THAT number of brigades, the Army has had to strip personnel from other locations to the point where readiness has been affected. To put this in perspective, the troops who put ashore on D-Day as a part of Operation Overlord numbered about 160,000 troops. That would be roughly half of our entire Army today. Army planners think that the only way they can maintain 31 brigades is to cut them from 3 battalions per brigade down to 2. Paper tiger, indeed.
So what, you say. We can just bring in the reserves to get our staffing up to snuff, right? Nope. The Army has had so many issues finding officers to command reserve units that they have had to engage in some creative personnel management.
Over a five-year period, 110 command positions could not be filled because the Army Reserve lacked willing commanders. The shortage of willing commanders has become so acute in the Army Reserve that O5 command is no longer an opt-in board to be considered for command, but opt-out board, meaning that lieutenant colonels and majors who are up for promotion who do not wish to command must proactively go into the system and state that they do not wish to be considered for command.
This is creating havoc with morale and retention, which is making the problem even worse.
Army Reserve soldiers have seen commanders who are clearly in their position not because they were highly qualified or competitive, but solely because they put their names on the list, and that is not a good place to be as an organization.
That makes for an Army that won’t be able to put down an uprising of kindergarteners, much less repel an invasion. Reading this would you say that allowing women, fags, and trannies to serve has made our military better, or worse?
The only good thing here is knowing that it will be difficult to slaughter armed citizens when there are no warfighters left. We appear to be back in the days of Jimmy Carter’s hollow military. Sure, some units will be staffed with capable and willing soldiers, but those are far less likely to be gunning down civilians than the woke units that make up the majority of the force.

Armed in Florida?
JKB over at GunfreeZone posted this:
So? This is Florida. One in eight Florida adults has a concealed weapons permit. Adjust for the number of Democrats in the Palm Beach area, and any group of people in Florida containing more than 4 non-democrats more than likely has at least one armed person in it. The cops know that, and also know they are not likely to have a problem unless they are the ones who start it. Don’t want trouble, don’t start trouble.
The protesters at the site number roughly 100 people. No one is concerned about violence. Heck, even lefties are driving by and taunting the MAGA crowd.
“I hope they are going to be held accountable for January 6th,” Hennessy said. Hennessy and a friend drove past the former president’s residence blasting, “We Are the Champions,” according to her Facebook post.
This is the press just trying to eg people on.

Lies about Tyranny
The FBI told the NY Times that the 30 agents who raided Mar a Lago were there because Trump had classified documents that he should have returned to record keepers when he left office.
If that is true, then why did they also raid Scott Perry’s office and seize his cell phone?
This entire thing is a push to eliminate their political opponents.

Found- Nevermind
The Brevard County Sheriff’s office has announced that their SROs are going to be carrying rifles at all times while at school. Lest you think that they are going to be kitted up like SEAL team 6, they aren’t. Instead, they were pictured to look like the below picture. Can anyone help me out by identifying the rifle that this guy is carrying?
EDITED TO ADD: The rifle in question has been identified. It is a Kel-Tec Sub 2000. What kind of stupid, feel good Kabuki theater bullshit is this? A 9mm PCC, and not even a very good one, at that.

Planned
Ten days ago, Newsweek’s issue for the end of July came out. Here was the cover of that July 29th issue:
The article that was in that issue gives more details.
Given the facts that have come to light about former President Donald Trump’s role in the mob attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and the efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, it is now plausible that he will be charged with crimes, tried and convicted. “It’s no longer premature to say that Trump could end up in prison,” says Michael Conway, a longtime trial lawyer who started his career as counsel for the House Judiciary Committee during the impeachment inquiry into Richard Nixon in 1974 , and who now teaches ethics and the law at Northwestern University.
The show trials that I began predicting on July 6, 2020, with the two posts titled “Roots of an insurgency, part 3,” and “Tying it all together.” From the “Roots” post:
Once the last phase begins, totalitarian elites let loose their inclination to brutally eliminate their perceived enemies. Once this phase begins, things happen very quickly. The entire country will collapse in a matter of weeks.
Violence is considered a means to achieving the goal of centralized power. There is not even a pretense of due process or respect for free speech.
Then there is the Tying it all together:
This is also the stage where purges begin, books are burned or rewritten, and the history of the old regime is destroyed. This prevents any sort of “counter revolution” from gaining any traction.
Things are going to get worse as we approach the election. It will seem to be happening with blinding speed while it is happening, but in hindsight not so much. The spin doctors are already denying it. I’ve been hearing the whole “The FBI director was appointed by Trump. This proves that it is non-partisan and Biden has nothing to do with it.”

Biden’s Time Running Out
Biden’s time is running out. It is becoming obvious to everyone that he dementia is getting the better of him, and the more obvious it becomes, the less useful he is to the power structure in this country. At some point, he will be more useful to them as a former President than he is as a current President. Look for the people in power to replace him.
I believe that they are going to do it some time after January 20, 2023. Why that day? The Twenty-Second Amendment limits an elected president to two terms in office, a total of eight years. However, it is possible for an individual to serve up to ten years as president. The amendment specifies that if a vice president or other successor takes over for a president and serves two years or less of the former president’s term, the new president may serve for two full four-year terms. If more than two years remain of the term when the successor assumes office, the new president may serve only one additional term.
So for the Dems to hold the office for as long as possible, they need to make sure that Biden makes it to the midpoint of his term. Depending on how serious the powers that be are about getting it done, and who is the power behind the throne, will determine how Biden is removed.
- If Biden’s family is calling the shots, perhaps he will simply step down.
- If he refuses, but the left feels he can serve no further use, they will use the 25th Amendment.
- If they want to make a martyr out of him, he will be killed by some right wing loon using an AR-15 who is carrying an NRA life member card in his wallet and wearing a MAGA hat.
The issue here is, who replaces him? Will they use Harris? She is almost as useless as he is. She sounds demented, but is actually just an imbecile. Will they eliminate and replace her first?
Whatever happens, it will be unexpected. These past 30 months have been like watching a bad movie unfold. You can’t make shit up that is as wild as what has been happening over the past two and a half years.
Cops
Most Training EVAR
Osceola County School Resource officers claim to be receiving “the most extensive active-shooter training ever.” Let’s look at that training:
When they become an SRO, they receive 40 hours of training to become certified as SROs. The majority of that 40 hours is spent in crisis-intervention, bully-prevention, childhood development and psychology. What percentage of that is active shooter training? Ten percent? Less? Range time?
This summer, the deputies received another 36 hours of training. They spent a day of this in crisis intervention training, including roleplaying, learning how to listen, and talking to children in crisis. What does that have to do with active shooter training? How much of those 36 hours was range time? Less than 8 hours:
Lopez said all SROs also spent a full day on the firing range, practicing with handguns and long guns.
Look at this picture. They are practicing at a range of less than 10 feet. Zoom in on that target. Not exactly impressive for dealing with guns around lots of non threats, like a school full of kids. Keep in mind that your accuracy during static range time will be much better than during an actual shooter event.
How about the 50 foot rifle practice?
What the actual fuck? My daughter shot better than this when she was 12 years old. Maybe they are better with the shotguns. Let’s see.
Wait a minute. Those aren’t even cops. Those are the armed security guards that Osceola county is using as guardians instead of teachers. They can’t shoot for shit, either. Look at those shooting stances. What is that? 20 feet? Is some minimum wage asshole with a shotgun that he trains with at 20 feet going to rush a shooter to save your kids? Probably not.
Of course, it isn’t like this career donut eating, Farva looking fat ass is going to be rushing anyone without having to take a break, either.
So the average SRO has a total of 76 hours of training in operating in a school, and less training with guns than a barber does in cutting hair. That’s right- in Florida more hours of training are required to be a barber than are required to be a police officer.
What about teachers who are part of the guardian program? Well, aside from the fact that there are NO classroom teachers in Florida who are part of the guardian program, any teacher who would be part of it is required to receive 144 hours of use of force training. Contrast that with police officers. Most cops in Florida get 80 hours or less TOTAL of firearms training, so even if you count the training they have to become SROs, Osceola SROs have more training than ever- 156 hours, which is only 16 hours more than a guardian, even though most of that time is spent jerking off while on the clock, but guardians can’t be trusted.
