Stick it to the liberal elites

By John Labriola - You know Citrus County's liberal elites are terrified of you when the Citrus County Chronicle runs two front-page hit pieces on you in the space of just four days. I earned that distinction this past week, when the Chronicle decided to cast me as a scary bigot because I'm against overdevelopment.

On Thursday, the Chronicle attacked me over my comments at last week's Inverness City Council meeting, when I dared to criticize the council for their repeated approval of zoning and land use changes to allow the construction of high-density residential projects such as the new Colonnade Park apartment complex. I told council members that their push for more and more overdevelopment threatens to destroy our community's small-town conservative Christian character and turn us into just another overcrowded, high-crime liberal metropolis like Tampa. The liberal-dominated council –which is understandably out of touch with the voters since the city has not held an election for council since 2008 – acted horrified and condemned my remarks as "discriminatory," proving it's time for a change on the council.

Then on Sunday, the Chronicle riffed on its "bigot" theme by running another one-sided attack piece on its front page about the fact that my former South Florida condo association board where I once served as president was slapped with a bogus housing discrimination lawsuit. Naturally the Chronicle didn't make any effort to contact either me or the association's attorney to get the facts on why the lawsuit is completely frivolous. 

Anyone who's even slightly familiar with the court system knows that the Fair Housing Act has become a notorious vehicle for never-ending nuisance lawsuits that only serve to enrich greedy trial lawyers and their dishonest clients who see the "race card" as their ticket to millions. The Chronicle's reporter Fred Hiers didn't bother checking out the fact that my former condo association was majority black when it was laughably sued for racial discrimination, or that the plaintiff's fiancé is the nephew of Robert Runcie, the disgraced former Broward County Schools Superintendent best known for using the race card to dismiss any criticism about his failed leadership – until he was finally charged with perjury and arrested last year for lying to a grand jury about his responsibility surrounding events leading to the Parkland High School massacre.

I'm proud to be such a favorite target of the liberal Chronicle, and I wear their hatred as a badge of honor. They hate me because they hate YOU and YOUR VALUES. They hate the fact that I will represent the will of the PEOPLE and not the left: that I will work to stop taxpayer-funded celebrations of the LGBT lifestyle, promote the culture of life, and not be afraid to say NO to the developers. 

The Citrus County Chronicle and their leftist friends are obviously terrified of me winning my election for Inverness City Council this November. You know this race is important to them when they're so panicked and afraid. I'm the most serious threat to their power structure in years because they know I will never bow down to them. That's why I need your help to fight back and win! Please send any amount you can using the donation link below, and let's STICK IT TO THE CHRONICLE AND THE LIBERAL ELITES!!!

Sheriff doubles down on support for Biden's FBI

Image
By John Labriola - Citrus County Sheriff Mike Prendergast is facing renewed criticism for bragging about his ongoing cooperation with the Biden Justice Department in rounding up January 6 protesters and declaring them criminals before a trial.  Last week, Prendergast announced his department partnered with the FBI in the May 2 arrest of a Homosassa man who is being charged with assaulting a law enforcement officer during the Jan. 6, 2021, demonstration at the U.S. Capitol. It was the second time in less than 10 weeks that the Citrus County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) has participated in the arrest of a January 6 protester. On Feb. 27, sheriff's deputies and FBI agents arrested Jesse Rumson , 37, of Lecanto, in a predawn shock and awe raid complete with a full SWAT team, two armored vehicles, concussion grenades and a helicopter. Rumson, who is awaiting trial on several felony counts, has publicly denied the charges and is seeking a dismissal based partly on what he calls his uncons

Rep. Massullo responds to accusations against his medical practice

Image
By John Labriola - State Rep. Ralph Massullo on Friday responded to accusations against him and his medical practice that were made in an article published in last week's edition of the Citrus Eagle , the predecessor to this publication.  The article, authored by Billy Cayce, reported that Massullo and his partner Dr. William Welton III of Suncoast Dermatology and Skin Surgery Center, which has offices in Lecanto and Ocala, paid the federal government a $2.3 million fine in December 2020 for Medicare fraud. The article was based on an  announcement posted on the website of the U.S. Office of Inspector General (OIG) , which reported that the $2.3 million payment stemmed from falsified patient records and claims prepared by a Suncoast shareholder employee, who allegedly upcoded procedures and overstated the size and type of excised lesions, leading to unnecessary follow-up procedures.  Massullo, who contacted the  Citrus Eagle  three days after the article was published, said he orde

Commissioner Davis demands $$$ for pro-LGBT, anti-white tourism plan

Image
By John Labriola - In a cringeworthy display of "woke" virtue-signaling, liberal Citrus County Commissioner Holly Davis last week trashed her recently deceased father as a racist while defending her support for a plan to spend $55,000 in hotel bed taxes on a "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" (DEI) tourism advertising campaign to promote more LGBT and less white Christian family-oriented tourism to Citrus County.  "My dad was born and raised in Forrest City, Arkansas, which is named after Nathan Bedford Forrest, founder of the Ku Klux Klan. I don't know if it was until the day he died, but at least until 10 years before he passed, he would actually say that an interracial couple was just trying to make noise and be noticed," said Davis, who congratulated herself on overcoming  her father's views. " I now actually have black friends, and I didn't go out hunting them! I'm not trying to make sure I have my diversity in my group; I just na
