The log cabin was the Lady Lake Chamber for years. Actually it was named in history as its Chambers home. The Lady Lake Chamber needed something a little more modern, so they moved into a building that was available in Fruitland Park Florida. The Janet & Leslie are excited. I am also because I always felt that the building was stuffy, smelling and moldy.
I went to their ribbon cutting to take pictures to share with you and probably a hundred more members showed up., Plenty of parking, they had a food truck, a DJ, snacks, door prizes, I think it will be great, I would like it to be a little further north, but it is a nice building.
I am looking forward to the future of the Chambers Growth. If anyone can do it the ladies go the chamber and the members can! TomL said that! One last thing join the Chamber call 352-753-6029

Who is Zohran Mandami? The New York Times says. He is the New York City mayor sworn into office in January 2026, was born in Kampala, Uganda, in 1991 to Indian parents. He is of Indian descent, spent part of his childhood in South Africa, moved to New York City at age 7, and became a U.S. citizen in 2018 while retaining Ugandan citizenship.
- Birthplace: Kampala, Uganda.
- Parents: He is the son of acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair and academic Mahmood Mamdani.
- Background: He moved to South Africa at age 5 and later to New York City at age 7.
- Identity: He is the first African-born, South Asian, and Muslim mayor of New York.
Mamdami is a dual citizen of the United States and Uganda. Weeks after he was sworn in he is raising taxes on the middle class which he swore he would not do! The wealthy decided not to stay and be taxed to death so they left and went to another state. I say Bernie Sanders should have been smarter than this. He had to know Mandami was going to have to raise taxes. Sanders is a failed “want to be” Presidential candidate that has been misused by the Democratic Party for years. They are renaming the Democratic Party the Democratic Socialist Party of America. The democrats has lost their party and the socialist Communist have invaded it! Continue reading
Research on Standing in the Arena
Are you standing in the arena? Are you watching from the sidelines giving your opinion? Are you a doer or a doubter?
The Actors and the talk show host are entertainer’s trying to tell the working people who you should vote for, they should be entertaining you but they cross the line when they tell you their real life opinion, ,they are make believers! Remember they are entertaining you with make believe stories but yet they are voicing their opinion from from a news room making up stories. Headline hunter giving their opinion about Trump from a make believe world and if they say they back him they are black listed in their make believe world. I like to believe I’m standing in the arena and I am giving you a chance to voice your opinion in our newspaper without your name on it. In your letter don’t call people or organizations names state your opinion with facts to my email and and I will protect your name and email from anyone trying to find out whose opinion I printed and sent to our readers.

Writing the true is not always easy, facing someone who does not agree is not easy! Continue reading

What is the difference between a Good Ole Boy and a Hometown Boy!
Good ole Boys have tendency to group up have a popular head and be extremely kind to each other!.
The Home Town Boys will struggle finding something that will work in their town and try it!. They are extremely loyal to the young people they grew up with and will help them if they can.
They will support the town when they have events. They make money for their clubs and such. The Good Ole Boys will have planning meetings in the back room some where, only their group will be welcome and there always seems to be beer involved. Nothing seems to bother them outside of town. But don’t get in their way if it says their town on it. The Southeastern Youth Fair is a good example they really endorse that with their money. They support sports especially football they don’t usually care about sharing money with the band. If you are not part of their group when you move into town it will take 20 years to get excepted!

I ask AI? Yes I’m using AI for important question so I can get a different view. More like common sense.
I ask AI is it possible to hypnotize someone into doing a violent act?
Answer: While the idea of a “Manchurian Candidate” (a person hypnotized to commit murder) is a popular trope in fiction, scientific and psychological consensus suggests it is highly unlikely to be the cause of violent acts in reality.
AI is it possible to Brain Wash a person through Social Media to commit a violent act? YES! There are certain conditions that a person can be brain Washed through social media!
I guess the next question would be is that going on in today’s world? The Courts will make a decision it. Continue reading
