It’s a small world. I met the original Colonel Sanders. My father insured the second Kentucky Fried Chicken in florida. It was the Marant Family Dania Beach Florida. They also put in a warehouse that my dad insured for them. My sister and I went to high school with the Marrants, one girl and two boys. The oldest boy Richard owned the restaurant and Warehouse. Who would have guested how big it was going to get.
I like the buffet so I could pick out the chicken that I liked when I was looking at it. The chicken and the Cole Slaw was out of sight. I think they lost a little bit of money because of the dividing wall separating the incoming customer to the people eating. A couple would come in and one would order the cheapest thing on the menu and the other would order buffet. You know what happened then. If they tore down the wall inside the dining room it would eliminate most of that. Continue reading

We need a WARRIOR! A President who is not hiding in his celler. A person who projects fear, fairness, understanding and able to stand up against the FBI / DOJ / and all his enemies, a fighter that will never give up. A person that will go into the trenches and dig a hole to drain the swamp. Cut off the money that pay these people who fabricates story and Lies to ruin people.
DeSantis is not the one, one person I know says he’s boring, another says Donald Trump help him get elected and now he wants to throw him under the bus. Another thing I just heard is DeSantis has taken his money that people gave to run for Governor and is using it to run for President. Is that right . It don’t feel right to me. The state of Florida was in good shape when DeSantis took it over, I grant he has done a few things to build his base because of us the Florida people. The big cities still have crime in florida but you don’t hear a lot about it. Continue reading

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Ashley Moody is issuing a Consumer Alert warning Floridians about an increase in jury duty scams. In these scams, an imposter will call a target about missing jury duty, then threaten the potential victim with jail time if a fine is not paid. A recent news report from Miami-Dade County states that authorities there are seeing an alarming number of jury duty scams.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “This scam is so troubling because the scammer on the phone will threaten a victim with potential jail time if a fine is not paid. Floridians should know that failing to report for jury duty is not grounds for immediate arrest, and court officials will never demand payment over the phone. By being aware of how to avoid this increasingly common scam, we can build a Stronger, Safer Florida.” Continue reading

They have arrested Donald Trump…It is totally political, Biden and the FBI / DOJ are destroying our country. Biden issued a statement that he did not know that the FBI was going to Indict Trump. He had to sign off on it! I think thats the plan. I am trying to piece this large puzzle together. I am not putting them into the correct time frame but here it is.
Obama had records at his home, when all the trouble started he had his team call the White House library and tell them he had record that they should have. He said it would you money to transport them safely I will send you 4.5 million dollars for expenses. Wala they were moved with our incident!
Also while Biden was in the Senate he acquired Nation Security documents and stored them at several of his homes. During his Vice Presidency he acquired more Top secret Documents and also taking his son on trips abroad. I assume Obama’s knew what was going on. Continue reading
