Commission to discuss Biden's border treason

By John Labriola - Biden's border treason will be the hot topic at this Tuesday's Citrus County Commission meeting. 

Commissioner Diana Finegan will be presenting a resolution urging Gov. Ron DeSantis to call out the state militia "to repel the invasion that is occurring on our state by way of the United States southern border."

The resolution strongly condemns the Biden administration's open border policies, which have led to more than 8 million illegals pouring across the U.S. southern border since January 2021 as part of the Democrat Party's project to replace America's current population with hordes of welfare-dependent Third World invaders viewed as likely future Democrat voters.

"The border of the United States and the State of Florida are under siege by invaders with the complicity of the current administration and the federal government who have ordered all federal and military assets to stand down," the resolution states, adding that the U.S. Constitution authorizes states to act to stop a foreign invasion when the federal government fails to fulfill its constitutional duty to protect the nation's borders.

The measure also calls on Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody to sue the Biden administration to recoup any costs incurred by the state and urges County Sheriff Mike Prendergast and the Florida Legislature to do everything in their power to fight illegal immigration. 

The resolution arose out of the Sept. 18 meeting of the Citrus County Republican Executive Committee (REC) and mirrors language adopted in February by the Lee County REC. Finegan, who was at last month's REC meeting and is the commission's only REC member, was asked by members to put it on the commission's agenda and she agreed. 

Upon taking office, Biden immediately dismantled President Trump's immigration restrictions by halting construction of the border wall, easing asylum claim admissions, reinstating "catch and release" at the border, halting all deportations including for assaults and DUIs, lifting the ban on immigration from terrorist countries, reestablishing Obama's administrative amnesty for "DACA" recipients, ending COVID-era health-related border entry restrictions, expanding foreign worker visas, and dramatically increasing refugee admissions — all while busing, flying and housing millions of illegal aliens all across the country at taxpayers' expense.

The Democrat-orchestrated border invasion has fueled a nationwide crime wave, stretched state and local resources to the breaking point in many parts of the country and facilitated a huge surge in fentanyl and child sex trafficking. 

The county commission meeting will begin at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 10, at the Citrus County Courthouse, 110 N. Apopka Ave., Inverness, FL 34450. The public will have the opportunity to speak at the beginning of the meeting following the approval of the consent agenda.

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
