Huey Magoos Celebrated their Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting on Friday, November 20, 2020, located at 629 N Hwy 27/441, Lady Lake, FL 32159.
What is the ‘ELECTORAL COLLEGE’ ? – Apparently USA elections are not 1-person=1 vote “as advertised”.
Donald Trump lost to Hilary Clinton by over 3 million votes, but the so-called ‘electors’ quickly fixed it.
This time, Joe Biden won by over 6 million votes and they are trying to ‘fix’ that too.
Contrary to what we are told, these ‘electors’ are appointed by state politicians and are not legally bound by the recent election.
Some States (Maine and Nebraska) split their Electoral votes regardless of their voters choice. Others choose their Electors based on the NATIONAL popular vote regardless of their State’s vote.
Fact is that the Republicans can put President Trump back in office. It’s perfectly legal. If/when it happens no-one, not the Senate, the military or anyone else has any legal right or authority to stop it. What might be worse is that future Presidents will know that it can be done.
Win enough State Governorships and you can ‘stack’ the Electors any way you want. As mentioned above, the ‘Popular Vote’ already means nothing, does it?
What is ‘RANKED CHOICE VOTING’? In most elections the candidate with the most votes wins as in Florida and most other states. Continue reading
Dear Friends,
From my family to yours, we wish all of you a blessed holiday season and we hope that this is a joyous time for you and your loved ones. My family will celebrate the holidays traditionally and safely. We do not intend to let government tell us whom we can or cannot invite in to our home. American families are perfectly capable of taking necessary precautions to protect those that may be vulnerable without the Washington bureaucrat’s lectures. May this time of peace and thanksgiving be a reminder of the blessing of liberty that we all have in America.
With the elections now behind us, the work of the Florida Senate has turned to organization and preparation for the upcoming Legislative Session. The first step in this process has been completed as we have just returned from Tallahassee, having elected our new Senate leadership and sworn-in our new or returning members. Our leadership in the Florida Senate is extremely talented, driven, and focused. We could not be in better hands for the upcoming challenges that we will face over the next two years. From pandemic response, to budgetary issues and re-districting, we will have our hands full, but President Wilton Simpson is the man for a time such as this and we have every confidence that his leadership will see us through. In the coming weeks, the Senate will be releasing our committee assignments. We do not yet know which areas we will be focusing on, but your Senator stands ready to serve wherever he may be called.
The final and most important task that must be completed prior to the 2021 Session will be to hear from you, the constituents. In Senate District 12, there will be three opportunities for citizens to speak directly to their entire Legislative Delegation about issues important them. Each county in the district, Marion, Lake, and Sumter, will hold these meetings in December. These are open, public meetings and we encourage everyone to attend and present their ideas or concerns to their elected representatives. This process and this government cannot work without you. The seats we occupy in Tallahassee are your seats, we just sit in them for you. Please call my office if you need any information about these upcoming Legislative Delegation Meetings at (352) 750-3133 and a staff member will be happy to assist you.
Thank you for sending me to Tallahassee to protect Faith, Family, Freedom, Opportunity and Life.
Onward & Upward,
Senator Dennis Baxley
The CEP would like to thank the more than 132,000 Marion County voters who overwhelmingly approved the renewal of the Local Option Sales Tax. The renewal won more than 70% approval in a record voter turnout. Perhaps more impressively, the issue won every Marion County precinct – all 122!
The CEP through its political committee Citizens Encouraging Progress, Inc or CEPI lead the effort to encourage voters to renew. A broad base of businesses contributed more than $80,000 to assist this effort. This may cause one to wonder why the CEP and businesses would invest so much time and dollars into this issue. What are they getting out of it?
It is a fair question. First, the CEP receives no funding from the sales tax. All of the funds are dedicated to building and maintaining transportation infrastructure and to the capital needs (equipment, facilities, etc.) of our first responders. Businesses and the CEP recognize that if our community is to continue to grow (and the Ocala Metro is now adding nearly 150 new residents a week) then there must be continued investments in building and maintaining our roads and other transportation infrastructure and in supporting our first responders. Businesses and residents agree that when there is an emergency, you want to know that when you call 911 the appropriate assistance will arrive with the equipment they need to help.
Additionally, the sales tax is the more efficient and effective way to fund these important items. An ad valorem (property) tax is only paid by the 65% of residents who own property. However, a sales tax is paid not only by every resident but all of those who visit and commute into our community each day. Our economist tells us that is at least 30% of the revenue. Having 130% fund the roads we all use and the first responders on which we all depend is definitely more efficient than expecting 65% to fund the items.
Your support and renewal of this important investment in our community is not only appreciated, it is needed if we are to continue to grow and prosper. Great things are happening in the Ocala Metro and the future is very bright for our area. Thank you for your continued investment in our joint future.
Where do we go from here??? Well I hope we can work on re-enforcing the voting laws so that everyone has confidence in them. Electing a President who helps governs all of the United States will not work if all the states are setting their own election laws! One set of elections laws for all states! Requester ballots only! ID to prove you are eligible to vote and strengthen penalty’s for election fraud!
Our Country does have it’s problems but if we follow our Constitution we will survive. While we have 9 Supreme Court Justices they need to give us a ruling on all the problems that are arising over the Election and just make everything that was done is legal according to our Constitution. They don’t want to get into the mix but this so big they must rule, Question: Was everything done legally according to our Constitution? If yes so be it! Where do we go from here. I think there will be many protest and there will be a lot of violence and it could turn into a Civil War, which I warned people many months ago. I also think Bernie Sanders will create havoc with the Democrats because he feels like he had a deal and now they are not making good. But Bernie should expect that because he used the Democrats. I say FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION! Continue reading

Harorum Korean BBQ
3045 SE 3rd Avenue
Ocala, FL 34471
352-622-1899
Don’t think you’re going to a real Korean BBQ with open flame table grills. This is a Convenience Store/Gas Station, with very small selection of Asian retail food products.
This is a Take-Out only, just like Chinese restaurants. Keep in mind Korean, Italian, Chinese or other restaurants have their own blend of spices, marinates and style of cooking. That’s why we prefer various restaurants for different reasons.
Harorum, provides FRESH made to order Korean favorites. The menu is limited, using quality meats, generous servings, tasty and fresh. We had Bulgogi, thin sliced, sweet marinated beef grilled with onions and garlic on white rice, included 2 Korean vegetable appetizers. I also purchased FRESH made Kemchi, nice mix of spices, not spicy, perfectly fermented with a nice crunch and good flavor. Overall a nice change for lunch or dinner and cravings for something different! Continue reading
Driver Awareness Tips
The holidays are a great time for family and friends to create many memories together. Safety when you leave the house and travel is an obvious concern but please remember, safety begins with you. (https://www.flhsmv.gov/safety-center/driving-safety/holidaytravel/holiday-safety/ )
Please take into consideration some precautions to help slow the spread of COVID-19. You can view more information at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/holidays.html or https://www.flgov.com/covid-19/.
Follow these tips to help ensure we all Arrive Alive this holiday season:
- Never drive impaired. Celebrate responsibly and do not get behind the wheel if you have been drinking or took drugs that cause impairment. Plan ahead and find a safe way home every time – designate a driver or use a ride service.
- Check your tires. Tires are a vehicle’s first line of defense on the road. Check your tire pressure, tread depth and spare tire especially before long trips. Do not over load your vehicle, it can result in premature wear and tire blowouts.
- Buckle up. A seat belt is your vehicle’s most important safety feature. Florida law requires that all drivers, all front seat passengers and all passengers under the age of 18 wear seat belts or the appropriate child restraints. Seat belts save lives, so buckle up every trip, every time.
- Register or update your Emergency Contact Information (ECI). ECI is a secure system allowing law enforcement, nationwide, to contact designated family or friends in response to an emergency situation.
- Observe and obey all speed limits. Speed limits may change as you drive through different types of roadways, so make sure you adjust your speed accordingly. In Florida, the limit will never be over 70 mph.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Ashley Moody is warning taxpayers of a new COVID-19 related text scam that deceives recipients into disclosing personal banking information in order to receive a $1,200 stimulus check. This latest scam impersonates the Internal Revenue Service. The Attorney General’s Office reminds taxpayers that the federal government and state agencies will never require personal banking information to be disclosed via text message to receive stimulus payments.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “As long as COVID-19 remains a threat, scammers will attempt every trick in the book to exploit taxpayers and coerce them into disclosing personal information. I encourage all Floridians to familiarize themselves with emerging COVID-19 scams, available on our COVID-19 resource webpage at MyFloridaLegal.com/COVID19.”
The scam text message states the recipient received a $1,200 direct deposit from COVID-19 TREAS FUND and requires further action for the payment to be deposited into the account. The text then directs the recipient to follow a fake phishing link. Continue reading
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Ashley Moody’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and the Levy County Sheriff’s Office arrested a woman for organized fraud and fraudulent use of personal identification information to defraud a Medicaid provider. Carolyn Ausherman allegedly forged fraudulent Medicaid employee service logs, defrauding the Medicaid program out of more than $15,000.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “The Medicaid program provides necessary medical services to our most vulnerable citizens. To purposefully defraud this taxpayer-funded program for personal benefit is a gross injustice and exploitation of the patients dependent upon the care provided by Medicaid. I am confident my Medicaid Fraud Control Unit will continue to work diligently to hold accountable anyone who attempts to defraud the Medicaid program and taxpayer dollars.”
According to the investigation, Ausherman entered into an agreement with an employee of a Medicaid provider wherein Ausherman used the employee’s name to submit forged and fraudulent service logs to the Medicaid provider. The service logs submitted by Ausherman claimed that the employee provided caregiving services to the Medicaid recipient, a disabled adult. The investigation revealed that the employee never provided services to the disabled adult. The Medicaid provider issued paychecks to the employee that were then cashed and split with Ausherman.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Ashley Moody’s Office of Statewide Prosecution has secured a life sentence for a Hillsborough county man that engaged in, and promoted, child sex pornography. The jury found Roger Labor guilty of lewd or lascivious molestation, two counts of use of a child in a sexual performance and 50 counts of possession of child pornography. The Honorable Michael Williams of Florida’s 13th Judicial Circuit sentenced Labor to life for lewd or lascivious molestation and a total of 75 additional years for the remaining charges.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “This disgusting excuse of a man will stay behind bars for life, right where he belongs. He is a predator and his actions were beyond vile and repugnant. I am so proud of the Office of Statewide Prosecution’s hard work on this case and for making sure he never victimizes a child again.”
Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Rick Swearingen said, “Heinous crimes like those committed by Labor have no place in civilized society, and I commend all those who worked tirelessly to bring him to justice. I hope this life sentence will help his victims to heal and will serve as a warning to those who would prey on the most vulnerable among us.”
In 2017, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement received cyber tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children indicating that a Google user in Hillsborough county uploaded suspected child pornography. After further investigation, law enforcement seized numerous electronic items from Labor’s residence. A forensic examination of the electronic items recovered more than 5,000 pornographic images. The investigation also discovered two victims that Labor molested and used to promote child pornography.
Assistant Statewide Prosecutors Rita Peters and Diana Bock prosecuted the case.
