Call to Action: No tax dollars for ALA groomers

By John Labriola - The Citrus County Library Advisory Board will meet this Tuesday to discuss the library system's proposed 2023-24 budget. The $4.2 million budget, which is funded by property taxes, pays for the operation and upkeep of the county's five libraries, including staff salaries, book purchases, periodical subscriptions and building maintenance. 

Disturbingly, the library budget also includes membership dues for the American Library Association (ALA), the far-left organization that has become notorious for its aggressive promotion of "drag queen story hours"  and sexually explicit LGBT materials targeting children. 

The ALA's current president is self-proclaimed "Marxist lesbian" Emily Drabinski, who has a long track record of advocating for the "queering" of public libraries. Her academic works include "Queering the Catalog: Queer Theory and the Politics of Correction" and "Gendered S(h)elves: Body and Identity in the Library," in which she discusses an experience she had as a 14-year-old girl when she came across a library book with a "fantastic queer sex" scene that awakened her to lesbian desires.

The ALA's website devotes an entire page to resource links and "toolkits" on how librarians can organize a "drag queen story hour" for children at their library. 

Republican U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio, Kevin Cramer and Mike Braun recently called for federal funds to the ALA to be halted and demanded the government investigate the organization for advising libraries to discriminate against Christian book publisher Brave Books, which publishes author/actor Kirk Cameron's children's books.

A growing number of conservative counties and state library commissions across the U.S. have moved to cut ties with the ALA over its radical LGBT grooming agenda, including Campbell County, Wyo., Midland County, Tex., and the Montana and Texas state library commissions. 

If you believe Citrus County taxpayers should stop being forced to subsidize the ALA's perverted campaign to sexualize America's children into homosexuality and transgenderism, join fellow citizens in demanding an end to ALA membership dues at the Citrus County Library Advisory Board meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 22, at 8 a.m. in Room 166 of the Lecanto Government Building, 3600 W Sovereign Path, Lecanto, FL 34461.

Just Say No to LGBT grooming in the libraries!

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

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
