The County Commission must do its job

(A resident speaks at the library board meeting.)
By John Labriola -

Citrus County Library Director Eric Head doubled down on his support for LGBT propaganda displays in the county libraries at last week's Library Advisory Board meeting.

After several concerned residents showed up at the Dec. 9 meeting to demand answers following months of mixed messages and a lack of transparency, Library Board Chairwoman April McLaughlin read a pre-approved statement indicating that nothing would change, despite months of complaints from dozens of parents and citizens. 

That means that unless the County Commission acts, the county's libraries will once again be turned into taxpayer-funded LGBT propaganda centers during the entire month of June in observation of "Gay Pride Month" by featuring child-endangering ideological displays complete with rainbow flags and slogans celebrating homosexuality and gender dysphoria. 

This may come as a surprise to anyone who attended the Nov. 9 county commission meeting, including members of the county commission themselves. Toward the end of the public comment portion of that meeting, a resident announced that she had met privately with Eric Head and worked out a deal with him that supposedly addressed parents' concerns regarding the displays. 

But after last week's library board meeting adjourned, Head confirmed to this reporter that the libraries will be doing "nothing different" next year than what they did this year. 

When asked how his position squares with what commissioners said at the July 13 county commission meeting, when they publicly advised staff that they wanted no more ideological displays in the libraries (see video), Head dismissed their remarks as merely "a conversation they had from the dais." 

In other words Eric Head, an unelected bureaucrat, has decided to ignore the stated will of the commission because their wishes were not placed on the agenda in the form of a directive and approved by an official roll call vote.  

So the ball is now back in the County Commission's court, and it's up to our elected commissioners to match their words with deeds and protect the taxpayers from being forced to subsidize Eric Head's personal political agenda.

If you want to let commissioners know how you feel about this and their need to act, you can find their emails on the commissioners' webpage.

    I guess it's time to replace our Commissioner's with more reliable officials who work for the citizens of Citrus County. Time to weed out the garden.

    This is where all ages go to enjoy books, some stay and read, some take them home. It is time to look after our children and grandchildren, so I will not be using the Library if they continue to
    put these displays out. This is just the start, if we allow this, our children will get nothing out of this except confusion.

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 politically persecutin

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

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 .
