Monique Worrell, Florida state attorney for the 9th Judicial Circuit, failed to prosecute 43% of arrests - releasing 16,243 defendants without prosecution, according to state AG Ashley Moody.

"Ms. Worrell is dismissing during the same period nearly four times the number of defendants as are being dismissed or not charged in Palm Beach County," she said, adding "It is not normal for a prosecutor to come out repeatedly after we have seen tragedy strike and insinuate, 'It's not my fault.' I submit to you this was, in a way, to distract from where fault should have lay."

Even violent felonies were only prosecuted 41% of the time, according to Moody.

"In February, I called on SA Monique Worrell to deliver the justice and accountability needed for the families affected by shootings in her district and said her suspension would be fully justified. She failed to do her job. Families deserve better."

Not so. Trump gave the people the death jab, and fiscal irresponsibility, authorizing $3 trillion in COVID spending, sending thousand dollar checks to people who sustained no financial loss, signing a tax cut that was not paid for thereby skyrocketing the deficit. People's President my butt. He largely screwed the people. Now he's defaming a better man than him. It's despicable. If he were nominated, it would not only be him that would lose. He would take down other Republicans in droves. If he were to be nominated it would likely result in a more Democrat Senate and control of the House returning to the Democrats.

Exactly right. As President, the buck stopped with Trump and as indicated the deficit skyrocketed under Trump. COVID is no excuse. He listened to the wrong people. It's that simple. Furthermore, the fact that he has never apologized for the death jab demonstrates that he is not prepared to deal with reality.

I trust Trump about as far as I can throw him. He's such a b.s.er.

Thanks for providing a refuge from the Marxists.

Paper ballots are probably just as useless without chain of custody controls and a means of accurately correlating each ballot with an actual voter. Also, local hand counts are no guarantee of accurate & honest counting. In Pennsylvania, Philadelphia is notorious for being the last to report vote results. Such induces the suspicion that the Philadelphia authorities use that time to manufacture just enough fictional votes to obtain the result they are looking for. Here in PA the Republican controlled legislature instituted universal mail-in voting, a bone-head move in my opinion.

Alas, there is a lot of stupidity in this world.

Perhaps for them causing trouble is a feature and not a bug?

Nearly half of Republicans says they would not vote for former President Trump if he were convicted of a felony, and 52% wouldn't vote for him if he were in prison on Election Day.

Majority medical practice in this country is not healing but managing disease. If you heal the patient, you lose the patient. If you manage the disease with drugs, surgeries, or other treatments you have a continuous cash flow; at least until the patient dies. Of course, many patients prefer it this way. They would rather offload responsibility for their personal health to a professional than take responsibility for eating right, exercising. I did not realize until I became a professional myself (attorney) that "professional" is too often a synonym for "prostitute".

Could you please explain in detail why " the fact Florida still uses voting machines a deal breaker"? I don't understand.

 

I received my invite code from Bluesky. Is anybody here on there?

 

​​The Moral Defects of Public Finance https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/the-moral-defects-of-public-finance-5424003 Over the course of the 20th century, the practice of government redistribution of wealth from some citizens to others became the standard operating procedure in Washington. The groundwork was laid by the adoption in 1913 of the Marxian graduated income tax via the 16th Amendment. This telegraphed the progressives’ intention to convert and pervert the federal government from an impartial night watchman that would protect each American’s property with equal fervor to a corrupt dealer in favors, as in, “You vote for me, and I’ll provide a favor, a subsidy, for you at the expense of your neighbors.”

Indeed, a massive intellectual fraud called social justice has been concocted for the purpose of convincing Americans that although it's a crime for you to take some of your neighbor’s wealth, it's morally righteous for a democratic majority to vote for politicians who will appropriate your neighbor’s wealth on your behalf and give it to you.

You have a point on foreign policy. I think that was where he did the best. His domestic policy was mixed at best. Overall spending was not reduced on his watch. Indeed, the deficit skyrocketed, $3 trillion of the covid excess spending was on his watch, he fathered the death jab, he got sweet-talked by Kim Kardashian to let criminals out of jail and did little to quash the violence in the summer of 2020. The federal courthouse in Portland was attacked for weeks on end. People have such short and selective memories. They remember Trump better than he ever was. Perhaps policy was too complex for them. They just wanted entertainment. Regardless, it is all water under the bridge now. He can't win. That is the fact that everyone has to deal with. What is worse is that If they nominated him again, he is likely to drag a lot of other Republicans down with him. We need to deal with the facts as they are, not as we might wish them to be.
