A rioter is someone who takes part in a brawl or a violent disturbance. If you want a peaceful protest rally, don’t invite rioters.
Sometimes protesters are accused of being rioters: the difference between the two is that protesters are generally peaceful, and that even if they’re stirred to violent action, protesters have a social or political goal — or an event or policy to protest. Rioters only have the goal of causing a disruption. Sports fans sometimes turn into rioters after a big loss (or win). Rioter comes from the Old French, in which it means “chatter, dispute, or quarrel.”

I saw a sales pitch that said reach your first customer before they have their first cup of coffee. I don’t know about you but, I don’t do or read anything before my first cup of coffee. Wait a minute I might go do something I can’t mention. I’m trying to reach my reader with their first cup of coffee. They would have time to read and be relaxed.
I have a great circulation story my nephew is in the military, while in AfKanistan they got some packages from the United States “Show Box”. My newspaper was in it, “The Village Spectator”. I reach the troops overseas! Then the next day I go into the mens room at the Elks Club and there is my newspaper again in a book holder. HMMMMmmm How could I use that as a promotion?
CIRCULATION FACTS
I reach from the mens room at the Elks Club in Ocala to AfKanistan.
No I don’t think that would work as a promotion but it is an interesting fact!!!
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Ashley Moody today released the 2020 Hurricane Preparedness Guide. The 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season begins today and runs through the end of November. Attorney General Moody is urging Floridians to review the preparedness guide now and understand that planning will be different this year as Floridians continue to take measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “As Floridians, we know that hurricanes are an unfortunate reality of living in our beautiful state. As we continue to deal with the challenges presented by COVID-19, it is equally important that we not drop the ball on our preparedness for hurricane season. The safety of you, your family, pets and property, depends on you preparing now.”
Entering hurricane season with already two named storms, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is predicting the 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season to be “extremely active” with 13 to 19 named storms. The Attorney General’s Hurricane Guide could serve as a useful tool to help families prepare with helpful tips, resources and information. Continue reading
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Ashley Moody today launched a new website seeking to educate Floridians about the dangers of misusing prescription painkillers and other opioids such as heroin and fentanyl. The website, called Dose of Reality, provides a one-stop shop of information about opioid addiction and resources to use for businesses, caregivers, educators, medical professionals, parents, seniors, service members, students, veterans and others.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “We can defeat the opioid crisis by working together, and Florida’s new Dose of Reality website is designed to provide Floridians easy access to vital information and resources to stop opioid abuse.
“As the Chair of the Statewide Task Force on Opioid Abuse, I will work to make sure local, state and federal agencies are coordinating efforts. Identifying effective strategies and implementing them statewide will improve the state’s response by making sure everyone is using the latest and most effective data and resources. Much in the same way, ensuring the public has an online portal with the latest information and medical recommendations will help Floridians make informed decisions and fight the opioid crisis in their communities.” Continue reading
Attorney General Ashley Moody released a new resource for Floridians to use for protection against fraud as the state and nation continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic. Scams at a Glance is a new outreach program complete with a webpage on the Florida Attorney General’s website with information about common and emerging scams. The webpage also provides downloadable brochures designed to teach consumers how to avoid falling victim to fraud. The brochures and other information on the website are available in both English and Spanish. Scams highlighted include imposter scams, tech support scams and more. Savvy consumers can stop fraud in its tracks, but they must know what to look for.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “One of the lessons we are learning from the current health crisis, is that scammers are willing to exploit any emergency to swindle consumers. Throughout this crisis, we have been working hard to stop scammers and prevent consumer fraud. I want Floridians to have the tools they need to fight back and that is why Scams at a Glance is so important. The new program is a tool of knowledge against common scams so that Floridians and their loved ones will be protected as we continue to battle the coronavirus.” Continue reading

Piesanos Stone Fire Pizza
8075 SW 200 Hwy, Suite 101
Ocala, FL 34481
A beautifully decorated with the ambiance of a five star restaurant. This is not a pizza dive, it possesses the finer qualities of dining at a reasonable price. The menu offers many Italian speciality favorites, salads, deserts and pizza. The hostess, waitress/waiter and management, exceeds expectations, to make you feel appreciated.
After being seated, our waitress Felicity, explained the specials for the evening and took our drink order. She returned with our beverages and took our pizza order.
She returned with the complementary fresh baked dinner rolls, drizzled with Italian Dressing and spices. The dinner rolls alone, will make you return to this restaurant.
We ordered 1/2 pepperoni and 1/2 mushroom pizza. The sauce had a light sweet taste, with fresh mozzarella and generous toppings. The crust was perfectly cooked with a light crunch from the center to the crust, no soggy dough.
Piesanos has already made my return list. A placed to be pampered by the wait staff and fresh delicious ingredients prepared into a meal by their master chefs! Continue reading
Thomas Jefferson wrote, “Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.” THINK ABOUT IT!

Only one example is sufficient to support the above—the Michael Brown shooting. The media continues to dishonestly portray Michael as a victim who was surrendering to police with his hands upheld and saying, “Hands up, don’t shoot.” That did not happen! It is a falsehood are dishonest racists who are fomenting additional violence for which they will not be held accountable. They should find out who is financing this activity and freeze their assets and arrest them!

Rioting in the streets… I am sad to say the Left have taken advantage of the people of color again. If you want to have a peaceful protest you don’t invite Rioters! The people of color will have to get rid of the Rioters. Some of these rioters are being paid big money to create violence and get arrested with a promise to be gotten out of jail. The people who are dyeing are the people of color, their children and the police officers. I don’t think anyone that complies would be hurt. But when you resist it is a sure way for injury of both sides. Black lives matter need to talk to the leaders and ask them to stop the rioters. That’s where it is coming from, from the left and foreign countries. Trump and his legal team is starting to uncover all of the corruption of our very influential politicians. They need chaios to distract the working people and cause confusion in the people of color. When someone says People of color are not being treated fairly. I say a person of color was elected President of the United States. Many of our politicians are of color. The united States give everyone opportunity, you have to take advantage of the opportunities.

Early in my term as Mayor, I began a project to help the chronic homeless. I continued to see men on the street that were being arrested constantly for crimes involving being homeless. I felt something needed to be done to help them. About that time, former Mayor Rick Baker from St. Petersburg spoke at the evening lecture series at IHMC about his new book The Seamless City. He was describing a scene of a homeless encampment in front of his City Hall and the demands of the community to do something about it.
He then told the story of how he worked with the community to create Pinellas Hope, a tent city of sorts that got the homeless population the help they needed to get back on their feet. Many in the room turned to me and said “Mayor, why don’t you do that here in Ocala”. So the two year journey began.
I, along with Karla Grimsley, Father Patrick Sheedy of Blessed Trinity, Brothers Keepers, Catholic Charities and First Methodist Church, all gathered together and went to visit Pinellas Hope. We brought the idea back to Ocala and folks said, “that’s a great idea, but not in my back yard”. At one point, we had 22 acres in Northeast Ocala donated to us but since the neighborhood wasn’t behind it, it didn’t pan out for our project and ended up becoming the home of Transitional Learning Center (TLC) which was a perfect fit for them as they needed exactly 22 acres for their project. However, we still needed a home. St. Marks Methodist Church on Northeast Eighth Ave. heard about our project and wanted it to be their mission. We met with them and members of the neighborhood to get their buy-in and they all wanted to be a part of it. Continue reading
