Residents can speak out against proposed Turnpike extension through Citrus County

By John Labriola -

As if the coming Suncoast Parkway weren't enough, the Florida Department of Transportation is planning an extension of the Florida Turnpike that could have it running through Citrus County under certain scenarios.

Two of the four alternative alignments currently being considered for the proposed Northern Turnpike Extension would take it through Citrus County – bringing traffic congestion, urban sprawl, and the inevitable political-demographic transformation that goes along with that. 

Citrus County residents will have an opportunity to voice their opposition to the project at an FDOT public meeting on Thursday, Dec. 9 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the College of Central Florida, 3800 S. Lecanto Highway, Lecanto, FL 34461. Residents who aren't available that day can attend a virtual meeting to be held on Dec. 7. To register for either meeting, go to www.floridasturnpike.com/NTE.   

Voters will have another chance to sound off about the proposed Turnpike extension and any other state issues on their minds at Citrus County's annual state legislative delegation meeting this Friday, Dec. 10 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the County Commission Chamber, Citrus County Courthouse, 110 N. Apopka Ave., Inverness, FL 34450.

On our Jan. 6 political prisoners

Image
By Laura Loomer - As our nation quickly approaches one full year of the Joe Biden/Kamala Harris administration, Americans watched this last week as the communist fake news media continued to glorify the protests that took place on January 6th, 2021 as an “assault on democracy.”   Over the past year, more than 700 Americans in 45 states have been charged in what has been described by the Biden Regime as the biggest criminal investigation in history. Thousands of Americans who showed up to Washington, DC, on January 6th to protest the fraudulent 2020 elections have been targeted by the FBI, harassed by the weaponized Department of Justice, and many of the nearly 700 who were arrested are being held in jails across the country in appalling conditions. Here in America, the year is now 2022, and while we are not exactly a third world country…yet, we can honestly say that much like what happens in actual third world nations and failed states, the American government is politica...

Hernando man gets visit from sheriff's office after email to Holly Davis

Image
By John Labriola -  A 66-year-old Hernando man got a Thanksgiving-eve knock on his door from the sheriff's office after sending Citrus County Commissioner Holly Davis an email challenging her on her LGBT activism in strong terms. On Nov. 23, B. James Colantropo emailed Davis in response to her shocking remarks at the last county commission meeting, in which she appeared to advocate for homosexual grooming of children in the county libraries .  "Rest assured that the good people of this county will not stand by and let you get away with your leftist agenda," Colantropo wrote. He then added: "Count your days because they are numbered." The next morning, two sheriff's detectives showed up at Colantropo's door. "They wanted to know what my intentions were, as they said my email could be construed as threatening," said Colantropo, who explained to them that his words were meant politically, not as a physical threat.  "Basically they understood ...

Commissioner Holly Davis wants Citrus County to promote homosexuality to children

Image
By John Labriola -  Citrus County Commissioner Holly Davis raised eyebrows at the Nov. 9 commission meeting when she declared that she wants our county libraries to be a place where children can access books promoting homosexuality as a positive lifestyle so they can feel at "peace" with becoming practicing homosexuals and/or pursuing transgenderism. (See video above.) Davis, a committed leftist, justified her heinous views by citing long-debunked claims that children are "born" homosexual. This propaganda myth pushed by the LGBT political movement has been thoroughly discredited by multiple scientific studies over the last 25 years.   What is true is that people engaged in LGBT lifestyles have much higher suicide rates than the general population. The logical conclusion to draw from this statistic is that discouraging children and adults from going down the path of homosexuality and transgenderism (or at least not encouraging them to do so) would SAVE LIVES .
