Roma’s Italian Restaurant review…There are usually 10 to 12 of us that dine out together every week and we dine at Roma’s quite often. The food is always good and the wait staff is very friendly. Whether you are ordering a calzone, chicken cacciatore or eggplant parmigiana, you can expect a wonderful meal. Vickie is our frequent waitress and she is amazing – always getting the order & billing correct with a pleasant and friendly smile. I would recommend Roma’s to anyone in the Ocala area that wants a good Italian meal. (Off US 27 next to Publix). Ron & Elaine

A restaurant I frequent is Northgate Diner at the corner of NW 35th St and Old 301/200A/J’ville Rd. The food is good ol’ home cooking style. The service is as great as the food and very moderately priced. The owner Tammy Lolley, and has been in business for over 17 years. PS-Tammy is also a great bowler.

Lunch at Applebee’s. I had to travel to Tampa for newspaper and order newspaper bags for the Villages papers. It went well. I pulled into the loading dock area, told the guy at the desk my name and in about three minutes I hear a forklift. I drop the tail gate on my truck and the guy slides the pallet into the truck and we left…Fast!
On the way back my wife and I stopped at Applebee’s in the newly formed Wesley Chapel area. The hostess and the waitress were very friendly and accommodating. I order a Whiskey Burger medium (no alcohol ). It was a handmade burger with cheese, lettuce, tomato and battered thin sliced onion fried crisp on top before putting the top bun half on. It was served with fries. I ordered coffee if they could assure me it would be hot…It was. My wife had a bowl of potato soup with cheese on top. It was good and thick and a house salad. Both were well prepared and were delicious. It was a good experience!
There is a new drink being served in Washington. It is called Supenacolada!
Another interesting thing I saw when I was in George Marshals Flags and Flag Poles place downtown Lady Lake the other day, he had Trump Water. It’s in a blue bottle, with red cap and a red, white and blue label. The label says Trump President 2020 with American Flags on it. I think it’s a collectible.
What in the Trump world is going on??? The following is what is going on… A kangaroo court is a court that ignores recognized standards of law or justice, and often carries little or no official standing in the territory within which it resides. The term may also apply to a court held by a legitimate judicial authority who intentionally disregards the court’s legal or ethical obligations. More…What is the meaning of the idiom kangaroo court? A self-appointed tribunal that violates established legal procedure; also, a dishonest or incompetent court of law. Continue reading
The mission of the CEP is to be the catalyst for a prosperous community and one of the primary ways we seek to deliver on this mission is by actively working to recruit new primary employers. Our current five-year goals include impacting the announced creation of 4,500 new jobs which pay an average wage which is 15% above the current County average and will result in a direct capital investment in our community of $400 million. Through the first two years (17 & 18) of this current strategic plan, we have announced 2837 new jobs paying an average wage 17% above the County average with a capital investment of $318.6 million. While this is a great start, we believe year 3 is going to end as one of the best for these measures. Continue reading

Did you know that the Constitution of the United States of America limits impeachment to “Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors”.
Unfortunately the exact meaning of the phrase “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” is not defined.
The Democrats in Washington DC are determined to “IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT!”
My understanding is that President Donald Trump is alleged to have asked the President of The Ukraine to investigate allegations of bribery and corruption in their country. Continue reading
