FL Democrats ask FBI and DOJ for investigation into FL vaccine distribution

Ron DeSantis hasn't announced that he is running for president in 2024 but it is a certainty that he will-- so it's worth scrutinizing what he is doing and how he is going about raising money for his campaign especially since he has raised at least 3.9 million since December..
The Miami Herald has a story this afternoon that indicates that Florida's two top Democratic officials are calling for both the FBI and the DOJ to investigate a situation where the Ocean Reef community, a wealthy Florida enclave, received vaccinations provided by Baptist Hospital at the same time Baptist Hospital was sending out texts notifications that they had to cancel everybody else's scheduled vaccinations.. Let's take a look at the report and what makes this story worth and the claims looking into..

The Republicans Supreme Court argument illustrates the need for The Election Reform Bill and filibuster reform

The House passed two Bills yesterday, the George Floyd Justice in policing Act and the Election Reform Bill. The House is passing some great legislation and it used to be that Mitch McConnell was the problem- he wouldn't allow the legislation to come up for a vote but now it's going to be the filibuster that's the issue.. and we have to do something about it by either reforming the filibuster 
or by using the nuclear option..

Democrats could pass legislation the Mitch McConnell way with the nuclear option

We have another election in two years and to be in a position to do things for the American people, we have to both have legislation for them is meaningful and a Senate process that allows us to pass that legislation. Things like balancing the Supreme Court after Republicans packed the court with conservatives is important.. passing the minimum wage is important. To allow the agenda for the people to move ahead, when it comes to the filibuster, we've got a couple options: filibuster reform or the nuclear option which is what I want to discuss today. #forthepople​ #nuclearoption​ #filibusterreform

Alex Jones makes bombshell statements about Donald J. Trump

There's some bombshell footage of Alex Jones who was in a documentary shot by filmmaker Caolan Robertson back in January of 2019 and it shows an Alex Jones that says he wishes he had never met Donald J. Trump.. One thing that we have to remember here is that Alex Jones and Donald Trump are both showmen. What they say and what they do is really done for power and money and that's about it. There's no real substance to what they say.. most of us live our lives saying what we mean and meaning what we say but not people like Alex Jones and Donald Trump. The real war isn't "Infowars" it's the war that Alex Jones is fighting in his soul, the struggle of good vs. evil that we see on display here.. #AlexJones​ #infowars

Mike Lindell, Trump, Catholic Bishops: Passive and active Covid anti-vaxxers..

Mike Lindell was in CPAC last week and had his mic cut off because he was rambling on about election fraud and his anti-vaxxer passions.. New Orleans Archdiocese says not to get vaccinated by the J&J vaccine and not to be outdone, Bishop Joseph Strickland in Tyler, Texas says not to get vaccinated at all.. Then you have Trump who actually got vaccinated in January *surprise* but elected to not tell anybody. It sort of matches his anti-mask policy but in all of this, where's the common sense?

Trump's CPAC speech: a fading theme of 'divisive and derisive'

If you went to the CPAC conference in Orlando looking for a message of unity in the Republican party or thought that maybe Trump would move on from bogus election fraud claims then you left feeling that a unified GOP is a myth and election fraud is now a party platform..
Trump railed on about his loathing for windmills and transgender atheletes in womans sports and about how the past election was a disgrace and how he intends to 'get rid of them all' when talking about Republicans In Name Only, aka 'RINO's'.. once thing was abundantly clear and that is that Trump is looking to feed the 'Save America PAC' at every opportunity, directing people where to go to help.
To me, the real narrative has shifted away from Trump and is now focused on American prosperity post Covid now being within our grasp. Americans are moving away from Trump and his message and are looking forward- as they always do- to their futures and their families future.. Of course, Republicans will scream socialsim at every corner but how can Americans expect Republicans to do anything for Americans in need when anything Democrats do to help Americans is dismissed by Republicans as 'socialism'?

CPAC keynote speech: What makes Senator Josh Hawley dangerous?

Senator Josh Hawley- who is this guy anyway? All you need to know about Senator Josh Hawley is that not only did he try to subvert democracy on January 6th by encouraging other Republican lawmakers not certify our free and fair elections but he's also doing the same thing at the CPAC conference. 
Josh Hawley tried to make his argument to overturn the election sound genuine back in January- by saying that he 'disagreed' with the Pennsylvania Republican legislature allowing more people to use absentee ballots to vote by mail that was also supported by a judge but that argument was a disguise for his real intent: to overturn a free and fair election.
What Senator Hawley is said in his keynote CPAC speech in Orlando was really much of the same- to cast doubt on free and fair elections- the narrative was changed but the message was very much the same...

The civility of Biden will always win against the divisiveness of Trump at CPAC

It was an interesting moment; Biden went to Texas to tour a county disaster management center and was there right along side of Texas Governor Greg Abbott. The two were conciliatory, affable and focused on helping Texans. When Biden left, there were no nasty tweets, no angry interviews or pointing fingers.. it was it was meant to be, Democrats coming together with Republicans to help Americans. In sharp contrast to this, you have the CPAC conference in Orlando where the CPAC organizer, Matt Schlapp went on an interview to say that "it's ok" for Trump to come here and settle old scores.. when you think about it, Trump is as divisive IN the GOP as he tries to be between Democrats and Republicans. There always has to be a "duel to the death" with Trump and we'll talk about why that is.. #CPAC

Are there ANY limits on what data is collected and sold on Americans?

In this article by the Washington Post entitled "ICE Investigators used a private utility database covering millions to pursue immigration violations", I started to go in an entirely different direction: what little the "Privacy Act Of 1974" actually does to protect everyday Americans and their data from being re-sold for profit to anyone? Turns out that not much is beind done, actually.. Listen for details on what's being collected and how Federal Agencies are circumventing the "Privacy Act Of 1974". The real question is, should all this data on Americans like you or me be profitized and re-sold to anyone for any use?

Republicans used sneaky tricks to pass the 2017 tax cuts. We should try as hard to pass the $15 min wage increase

Back in 2017, with reconciliation, Republicans used some pretty sneaky tricks to get around the 'Byrd Rule' that mandated the "Tax Cuts And Jobs Act" not add to the defecit within a 10 year window. Republicans purposely closed loopholes to meet the Byrd Rule limitations to get the legislation passed then re-opened loopholes 3 years later- "like it never happened".. If Democrats would only work this hard and fight to get the minimum wage increased to $15 -despite the Senate Parliamentarion's ruling- we'd do  a lot to help Americans who are struggling right now..
