Nassau County GOP group offers to ‘shelter’ Trump in a ‘safe house’ with ‘maximum force’

NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. – A northern Florida young GOP organization says it wants to protect former President Donald Trump in the Sunshine State after he was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

The Nassau County Young Republicans said it has an “undisclosed North Florida safehouse” that Trump can access “at [his] word.”

“…Refusing extradition with maximum force,” the group said. “God bless America. We are standing back and standing by.”

Nassau County is at the very northeastern tip of Florida with under 100,000 residents.

In 2020, the county gave 72.4% of its vote to Trump and 26.5% to President Joe Biden.

The president of the Nassau young GOP group, Bo Wade Hodges, told Trump on X, “I’ve got your back in Nassau County.”

Trump is set to be sentenced on July 11. Though jail time is technically permissible under his convictions, it’s not expected for Trump to see the inside of a jail cell, especially due to his age and status as a former president.

Florida state leaders in the GOP condemned the New York City verdict Thursday, and one lawmaker – Sen. Jonathan Martin, R-Fort Myers – wants a special session targeting New York over the criminal trial.

Law and order. Back the blue. These are just lies from the GOP and anyone else who even tacitly supports Trump.

Florida won't light bridges in rainbow colors. So Jacksonville's LGBTQ community did.

After the state said its bridges will be lit red, white and blue all summer, LGBTQ supporters used rainbow-colored flashlights on Main Street bridge.

Florida won't light bridges in rainbow colors. So Jacksonville's LGBTQ community did.

As night fell Friday on downtown Jacksonville, 70 people lined the pedestrian walkway of the Main Street bridge and simultaneously turned on high-powered flashlights that lit the bridge in a ribbon of rainbow colors arching above the St. Johns River.

The display on the eve of Pride Month came after the state Department of Transportation decided the nearby Acosta Bridge would be lit in red, white and blue for state government's "Freedom Summer," meaning the Acosta's lighting system won't have rainbow lights for Pride Month as it did the previous three years.

So a group from the LGBTQ community and their supporters took the lighting into their own hands by illuminating the Main Street bridge with rainbow lights.

Nate Monroe: Law-and-order Florida is no refuge for criminals. Except Donald Trump

Florida, which has a prison system bursting at the seams, has become Trump's sunny, gilded refuge.
www.jacksonville.com

In law-and-order Florida, it's easier than ever to land in the slammer and get a death sentence. Grave offenses like nodding off on a park bench can earn offenders free nights in the county's finest. And our sheriffs tend to be Old Testament types: intolerant, strident, judgmental scolds who preach "personal responsibility." Fittingly, they are also hypocrites: 55 of the state's 67 sheriffs have endorsed the philandering conman Donald J. Trump, one of the least personally responsible people to have ever walked the earth.

As of Thursday afternoon, that meant the lion's share of Florida's elected law-enforcement leaders had backed a felon, which might seem a bit startling. But of course Trump's Mephistophelian nature — his infidelity, his lechery, his lies, his oafish schemes — was well known before 12 Manhattanites convicted him of 34 felony fraud counts in a dingy New York courtroom, so these men and women of the law had long ago compromised their morality and good sense for this dope.

Florida Chamber of Commerce:
Today, thanks to a near decade long advocacy effort by the Florida Chamber and our members, the business rent tax reduces from 4.5 percent to two percent resulting in a historic $1 billion in tax savings for Florida’s local businesses. While today marks significant progress, there is still more work to be done and the Florida Chamber will continue to lead the effort to fully eliminate this Florida-only tax that puts our state’s businesses at a competitive disadvantage both regionally and nationally.

Ron DeSantis and the Florida Legislature paid for this business tax break by increasing taxes on Floridians. They did it via Senate Bill 50 (2021), which forced consumers to pay sales tax on all online purchases – and then spent all the new revenue on tax cuts for businesses.

Rick Scott is polling just two points ahead of his female challenger. I'm hoping she aborts his Senate career and I think she will.

No way she wins. That's a pipe dream. You're picking the one poll that gives you hope. The average is almost 6 points in Scott's favor, and Florida is no longer a battleground state.

Florida government could censor university professors in classrooms, lawyer for state says

Friday's argument focused on the line between academic freedom and the Florida government's ability to control institutions it funds and oversees.
www.tallahassee.com
An attorney representing Florida education officials: “In the classroom, the professor’s speech is the government’s speech, and the government can restrict professors on a content-wide basis and restrict them from offering viewpoints that are contrary."

As the judge said, this is positively dystopian. I hope that Judge Pryor on the 11th Circuit has enough character to strike down this BS.

The people in Florida who voted for the Republicans and Desantis are seeing firsthand they are getting much more than they bargained for...

Great story!

Rising Tide Car Wash is a Florida car wash that’s providing a service for not just its customers, but also for its employees. NBC’s Harry Smith visits the location to hear the stories of how they empower those who need extra support to conquer the world.
