Florida Legislature 2021: CS/CS/HB 259 (2021) — Safety of Religious Institutions – Presented to the Governor.

ABOUT TIME!

CS/CS/HB 259 (2021) — Safety of Religious Institutions.
Safety of Religious Institutions: Authorizes, for specified purposes, concealed weapons or firearms licensee to carry firearm on certain property of church, synagogue, or other religious institution.

Signed by Officers and Presented to Governor:06/28/2021 2:24 PM     H     Signed by Officers and presented to Governor

The Governor can sign it, veto it or ignore it. If he ignores it, it becomes law after 7 days from presentation.  I don’t think he will veto it and I believe that we will see it signed later today or tomorrow tops.

I was beginning to fear I would leave Florida without going to Mass.

Woke Olympians have me rooting against America

A US hammer thrower turned away from the American flag as the national anthem played while she and two other athletes stood on the podium at the Olympic trials Saturday, later saying she was “pissed” that “The Star-Spangled Banner” played as she received her bronze medal.

Gwen Berry — who qualified for her second US Olympic team during the trials — shifted to face the stands rather than the flag before holding up a black shirt that read, “Activist Athlete.”

“They said they were going to play it before we walked out, then they played it when we were out there,” Berry said. “But I don’t really want to talk about the anthem because that’s not important. The anthem doesn’t speak for me. It never has.”

“My purpose and my mission is bigger than sports,” Berry said. “I’m here to represent those … who died due to systemic racism. That’s the important part. That’s why I’m going. That’s why I’m here today.”

It should be a requirement of Team USA that you support America.

If you’re going to disrespect America from the podium, you don’t need America sending you to the Olympics.

It happened to me, the value of a cable gun box – update

This move has been an epic fucking disaster.

We drove from Alabama to North Carolina yesterday.  Got to the hotel last night at midnight.

This morning, I get a call on my hotel phone from local police that my truck was broken into.

They bashed in a rear window away from view.

They ransacked the cab but stole nothing.

Everything of value was locked in the toolbox or trailer.

Except my 9mm S&W which is cable box locked under the front seat.

 

Still there.

 

So now I’m living proof of this working.

I’m not sure what pisses me off more.  That they smashed my straw hat or they spilled Coke on my immaculate interior.

At least being paranoid kept my valuables safe.

Fuck this has been  disaster.

Update:

They hit 9 cars and got 4 guns.

None were mine.

Lock up your guns people.

WaPo joins the DeSantis Derangement Syndrome orgy

Not only the dumbass can’t report the truths, she can’t do math. A full day I seem to recall is 24 hours.

Clicking on this link will take you to a tweet where both photos are clearly showing the dates and times for the declaration of emergency. The governor signed at 5:32 pm, 59 minutes after the Mayor of Miami Dade County signed hers.

Ms. Dreier has not corrected her tweet or even apologized for the lie misinformation yet and it has been way more than 24 hours from her posting.

It is the WaPo. We kind of expect this level of political bullshit and we know more will be forthcoming.

 

 

A bunch of “Last Times” coming.

I just finished fixing what will be my last batch of Chili in in this house or Florida for that matter.

Yes, it is a lot, but with all the stuff being packed, we have to rely on food that can be frozen and then reheated in the microwave rather than do the usual elaborate cooking.

I am not a very sentimental man, but after living in the same location for over two decades and then having to move, you start to find out you are about to deal with a lot of “last time” things.

I just know that the “last thing” that will tug at my heart the most will be the last look at the lake from our back porch: the view that got us to buy the house in the first place.

And then, it will time to go away, never come back and begin away a thousand miles away with the missus at my side,  a smile on my face and hope in my soul. This place and times relegated to memories.

A precocious Governor DeSantis was apparently involved in the Surfside Building Collapse

Shooting buddy @RobertKuntz was kind enough to tag me in this idiotic post.

With the Governor being born in 1978 and the building constructed in 1981, that would mean that DeSantis got the Occupancy permit issued when he was about three years old.
The DeSantis Derangement Syndrome promises to be as rewarding as the TDS.
