Call to Action: No more LGBT activists on library board

By John Labriola - Citrus County commissioners will meet Tuesday morning in their capacity as the Library District Governing Body to fill a vacancy on the Library Advisory Board (LAB), the nine-member volunteer board that makes policy and budget recommendations regarding the county's library system.
 
The meeting will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 26, at 11 a.m. in the Citrus County Courthouse, 110 N. Apopka Ave., Inverness, FL 34450. Commissioners will be joined by Inverness Councilwoman Jacquie Hepfer and Crystal River Councilman Ken Brown, who are part of the nominating body that appoints LAB members. 

A total of 17 applicants have applied for the opening.

The meeting to choose a new LAB member comes on the heels of the county's decision to cut ties with the far-left American Library Association (ALA). LAB members voted 5-1 on Aug. 22 to recommend discontinuing annual membership dues to the ALA after more than 30 residents showed up to voice their outrage over the ALA's aggressive promotion of drag queen story hours and explicit LGBT materials targeting children. 

The LAB's two most liberal members, including Vice Chairwoman Neale Brennan, were absent from last month's library board meeting, so they weren't there to browbeat their more moderate fellow LAB members into supporting the ALA. 

County commissioners later backed up the LAB's recommendation.

Brennan vented her rage over the county's exit from the ALA at a recent county commission meeting, where she cast critics of the radical organization as uninformed bigots motivated by "fear of lesbians" because the ALA elected Emily Drabinski as its president. (Besides being a lesbian, Drabinski is a self-proclaimed Marxist who has used her position to advance a host of left-wing causes including LGBT indoctrination of children.) Watch Brennan's unhinged and dishonest rant HERE or by clicking her image.

Given her meltdown over the cancellation of ALA dues, Brennan's continued leadership position on the library board poses the threat of ALA dues being reinstated next year if county leaders tip the board's balance back to the left by naming a Brennan ally to the open seat. 

That's why residents need to show up Tuesday morning to demand the appointment of someone who reflects Citrus County's conservative values and will oppose any effort to reestablish the county's financial ties with the ALA. Conservative applicants include Lenora Jones-Nelson, Michael O'Connell, Richard Matherson, Lala Sanders and Marianne Parker, who have all spoken out against the ALA's agenda at public meetings. 

Those unable to attend can share their thoughts with commissioners and councilmembers before the meeting at the email addresses below.

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 uncon...

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...
