Fully vaccinated Floridians no longer need to wear face masks in public or avoid most social gatherings, Florida Surgeon General Scott Rivkees said in a newly issued health advisory.

Until now, Rivkees had backed requiring face coverings in Florida wherever social distancing wasn’t possible, both indoors and outdoors.

His new public health advisory, which rescinds those requirements, comes just days after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offered more guidance on mask-wearing outdoors. Rivkees goes further than the CDC — giving the OK for vaccinated Floridians to go without their masks indoors too.

Vaccinated? No need to wear your mask indoors or outdoors, Florida Surgeon General says

Add to that the Governor’s executive order prohibiting Covid Passports and the Legislature approving a bill saying the same, we are pretty much done with the things. About time too.

And it will probably encourage those still being lazy about getting the shots.  Smart move not to impose but suggest and leave it up to the citizen rather than force it and get a push back.

I hope this young man doesn’t get into trouble for this.  I’d be happy to chip in a few bucks toward his defense and maybe a big one ton diesel with a brush guard.

Fuck….

Only if he had flipped a lit cigarette at those motherfuckers as they drove off.

No word if they lit themselves on fire later but I wish they had.

I don’t know if you have seen this, but it is right on the money and funny.

But in the Era of Cancel Culture and sheer terror to be branded racist and lose funding, his department suspended him.

An Idaho cop who mocked LeBron James in a viral Tik Tok video has been suspended without pay and is now under investigation, with many expecting him to lose his job.
The controversy started when Nate Silvester responded to the basketball star’s infamous deleted tweet where he wrote, “You’re next. #Accountability,” alongside a photo of Nicholas Reardon, the officer who shot Ma’Khia Bryant.
…

Silvester’s own police department also wasted no time in throwing him under the bus.
“The Bellevue Marshal’s Office is aware of the extreme controversy regarding Deputy Marshal Silvester’s viral TikTok,” said a statement. “The statements made do NOT represent the Bellevue Marshal’s Office. The Bellevue Marshal’s Office always demands that our Deputies engage with our citizens in a friendly and professional manner. This is NOT how we expect our Deputies to act on duty or use city time. This is a personnel issue that is being dealt with internally.”

Cop Suspended Without Pay For Mocking LeBron James

But the Bellevue Marshal’s Office is getting burned in Social Media by tens of thousands calling them weak ass pussies in various levels of politeness.

Bellevue Marshal’s Office is in Idaho, not necessarily a Mecca of Wokenism. If Sheriff is an elected position, I believe a dead cat will beat the actual idiot when it comes election time.

This is how the incident started.

Dashcam Footage From Fatal Shooting of Officer Darian Jarrotthttps://t.co/fFh4z7zwKj

This case was an epic fuck up.  The feds were investigating Omar Cueva, a known violent criminal who trafficked in guns and drugs.  He was also known to have said that he was not going back to jail.

They were planning on using a high right HSI team to take him down but told NM State Police to pull him over on a window tint violation.

Officer Darian Jarrott was totally unprepared for the situation he was sent into.

This shooting led to a high-speed chase of Cueva.

Another officer brought it to a close with a PIT maneuver and a mag dump.

The thing to consider is that the officer who did it was shot and wounded before returning fire and ending the fight.

The word hero gets overused noways, but in this case, I think it’s appropriate.

This officer took a 5.56, got back up, and put a cop-killer face down on the pavement permanently.

He stayed in the fight and got the job done, saving other officer’s lives.

Today is the last day of the Florida Legislative Session, bar something totally off the cuff. We have two Pro Gun laws waiting for the Governor’s signature and this is usually where I take blogging easy for a couple of weeks before getting back to complain abut everything.  This year is different.

About 5 or 6 weeks ago, we found out a big economic door was going to be slammed on us by the beginning of summer. The missus and I discussed it and we decided that our eventual plan to move in 5 years to be with the family was to be implemented now.

So we are leaving the Gunshine State and that means I will no longer be a Florida Blogger.

I have been living continuously longer in Florida than anywhere else, including Venezuela and I have been a Florida Gun Blogger for 13 years. I learned to shoot in Florida and became a Second Amendment supporter here. I have been through Tropical Storms and Hurricanes which is something I will not miss one bit and will have to leave behind some great people who will be truly missed.

The missus and I are both a bit apprehensive and elated at the same time. She missed her family and we both missed Tennessee.  I personally missed Fall in the Volunteer state and I am looking forward to see the colors again. And, of course, I shall be bitching as good Floridian about winter coming so soon with temperatures dropping in the 60s by September, but think of it as material for future posts.

And I have to re-learn a new set of gun laws, and specially that GFZ signs do carry the weight of law in the Volunteer State. I think I will start with Andrew Branca’s Tennessee Self Defense Laws seminar for starters, but if somebody knows of the equivalent of Jon Gutmacker’s book for Tennessee, please let me know.

Our tentative date of departure is sometime mid July provided the house is sold fast which apparently will happen from what I have seen.  And by the prices in the market, we will surely leave without any debts.

So, to all my Florida friends and readers: Thank you!  It has been a helluva ride and enjoyed it a lot.
