Something in the water in Florida

Now Collier County wants to negate any Federal law they don't like. Think this was tried in 1860 and didn't turn out so well then. They want to declare "Bill of Rights Sanctuary County"!

Principal who paddled kindergartener

in Florida now suing mother of the child for videoing her
These people are monsters!

Hendry County principal’s attorney speaks for first time about paddling controversy
For the first time, we’re hearing from the attorney of a Clewiston school principal seen paddling a child as punishment.

The video of the paddling was first brought to light by WINK News in late April and gained international attention.

Corporal punishment is legal in Florida, but state law leaves it up to each county to decide. The Hendry County School District banned the practice in 2016.

On Friday, we explained that Melissa Carter, the principal of Central Elementary School, filed a complaint saying the child’s mother illegally recorded the spanking, but the student’s family lawyer said it’s legal.

About that new book

Zero Fail by Leonning. I'm In the middle of it. A pretty good gossipy read til the middle. The author seems to absolutely hate the Clintons, especially Hillary. She goes into great detail to rehash the President's womanizing and describes Hillary as extremely cold and calculating. Even Chelsea isn't spared. Readers are treated to sordid details over and over. Much more than her previous writing about other presidents and their families. No mention of Reagan's dementia, and she bubbles over how wonderful Barbara Bush treated the SS. She was described as grandmotherly! Can't wait for the Trump section. The author so far, has been a pro Republican apologist. I give it ***.

So the military types

on Deadline Washington don't like Biden's troop withdrawal plan in Afghanistan. They've had 20 years to fix things. Failed and want to keep the money Rollin in for the Afganees. Why the hell has our country neglected our infrastructure for 20 years? Enough! Keep our money home to work for us!

Day 3 Moderna

Second shot hit me yesterday. Chills, fever aches, the whole deal! Better today, just a brain fog and hot flashes, no energy. Totally worth it though. Thank you Joe! Look out grandkids, here come Grammy and Papa!
