Heroes Walk for Life raises $27,000 for pregnancy center

By John Labriola - About 150 residents participated in the Pregnancy & Family Life Center of Citrus County's Heroes Walk for Life at Liberty Park on Saturday.

The PFLC, founded in 1983 and located in downtown Inverness, provides free and confidential pregnancy tests and ultrasounds, parenting education, maternity and infant clothing, adoption services and other resources to enable every woman to carry her baby to term.

Schlabach still causing Citrus County problems

Image
By John Labriola - Citrus County voters thought they had seen the last of former County Commissioner Ruthie Schlabach after her humiliating election loss last year. Sadly for the public, Schlabach is still finding ways to cause problems for the county.  The latest controversy involves her role as a lobbyist for The Southern Group. Last month, she convinced the commission's current chairwoman Rebecca Bays to nudge County Administrator Steve Howard into secretly signing a $3 million appropriations request to the state legislature to widen County Road 491 on behalf of the lobbying firm's client, Metro Development Group, which has an open application to build a 5,000-unit project along 491 called Tuscany Ranch.  In an email to Howard, Schlabach asked him to sign the funding request as soon as possible.  “That way, we can show you the money!” she wrote. The problem is that the rest of the commission never approved or even knew about the request, a serious breach of protocol, ...

"No Kings" demonstrations dishonor the nation

By John Labriola - This past Saturday was the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, an important date that coincided with Flag Day and President Donald Trump's birthday. It was a day to celebrate America, and President Trump did so in style with a patriotic military parade in Washington D.C. that honored all the heroes who have put their lives on the line to keep our nation safe. The Democrat Party chose to spend the same day attacking President Trump's popular agenda and defending criminal illegal aliens in what they called "No Kings Day," with angry demonstrations across the country. Here in Citrus County, the angry minority of Kamala Harris voters, who represented 26 percent of the vote last year compared with the 72.41 percent who voted for Trump, took over the intersection in front of the Old Courthouse in downtown Inverness with obnoxious signs calling President Trump a tyrant and "king." Local crossdresser "Rhonda Santis," who has been identif...

Library board bows to haters of Charlie Kirk

Image
By John Labriola - The Citrus County Library Advisory Board (LAB) meeting last week turned into a hate fest against Charlie Kirk, as leftists angered by a motion to commemorate him with a library display outnumbered residents supporting the idea. Rita Fox of Lecanto said Kirk, who was assassinated on Sept. 10 by an angry leftist, deserved it.  "When you preach hate, things like that are bound to happen," she said, attacking Kirk for rejecting Marxist ideas like critical race theory, for which she accused him of "white supremacy." "In the end, the violence he rationalized and the racial fear he amplified converged in his own fate," Fox threateningly stated.  Later in the meeting, she and another liberal woman stormed out shouting obscenities at LAB Chairman Justin Strickland.  Other leftists said Kirk was a "racist," "bully," "bigot," "homophobic," "incredibly divisive," and a "white Christian nationali...
