Large crowd rallies to protest Trump's politicized conviction

By John Labriola - A large crowd of Citrus County residents waving flags and signs gathered at the corner of Lecanto Highway and Norvell Bryant Highway on Saturday to support President Donald Trump in the wake of the politically motivated conviction of the 45th president. 

A rigged New York jury on Thursday found Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with hush money payments to Stormy Daniels under a novel legal theory that had never been tried before. 

The statute of limitations had run out on the misdemeanor offense, so Soros-backed District Attorney Alvin Bragg tied it to another crime during the trial's closing arguments to upgrade it to a felony. Far-left Judge Juan Merchan, who donated money to the Biden campaign, gave the jury illegal instructions that allowed them to choose one of three crimes without specifying which one – a Constitutional violation. 

The unprecedented case of election interference didn't surprise Ken Walters, a candidate for the County Commission and a member of the Citrus County Republican Executive Committee (REC). In February, he sponsored an REC resolution urging the Commission to condemn the multiple politically motivated prosecutions against Donald Trump. Although the REC overwhelmingly approved the resolution, Commissioners ignored it. 

"Look what's happened. Our ex-president got convicted on 34 counts, and the commissioners should be held accountable," said Walters, who's running against far-left Commissioner Holly Davis. (Donate to him HERE.) 

REC member Harry Cooper, who attended Saturday's rally, feels the same.

"I think it's pretty sad," Cooper said. "Not everybody on the Board of County Commissioners is a true Republican. We have our share of RINOs there." 

The next County Commission meeting is on Tuesday, June 11 at 1 p.m. at 110 N Apopka Ave., Inverness, FL 34450.

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, ...

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...
