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.

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 →

Jackass says My name is Obstructionist

Elephants name is Uncle Sam I’m known for my memory, strength and Grit!

    The Asses name is Obstructionist.. He earn’s his name every day. He is stubborn and kicks out at everyone.! Why would any group in their right mind have a Jack Ass as the cymbal of their political part?  They just recently really started earning the name even more. The Socialist Communist Democratic Party? Obstructionist (the Asses) job is to Shut down the Government, Shut down Fema, shut down ICE, shut down the transportation (Airport) Shut down Home Land Security. The airports are still flying but at a snails pace and most are working free. Giving the taxpayer money to the illegals thru welfare and legal Americans can get it. Try to spread propaganda about our leaders in hopes they can win the election.

Obstruct the Republican Party and President Trump. They act like the evil dictators do. They let all those millions of criminals come into out country in an effort to make them voters. They are not United States Citizens. They cannot vote! When people any people come across our border without permission they come under a criminal act of illegal entry! A warrant should be sworn out  right away and pick them up and charge them and deport them. When they are arrested that makes them ineligible to enter this country ever again. They have not constructed anything in years without abusing then tax payers. They are abusing Americans by allowing our money to be stolen and given to the enemy! The Tax payers are eating peanut butter and jelly while they criminal’s are living a life of luxury with our tax money. Continue reading →

I Wonder Why? Let’s ask AI?

Why Do Troubled People Do Drastic Acts of Violence?

By TomL

I believe most people who have troubled minds are mostly caused by actions of others close to them. If you pay attention you will see it displayed. I ask AI if troubled person could be hypnotized into preforming voilent deeds? AI’s answer was “not likely.”

So the only other conclusion I can come to is “brain washing.”? I ask AI Is it possible that a troubled person can be brain washed with Social Media? AI said yes it is possible to Brain wash a troubled person. Keep repeating a message over and over in front of the target person so maybe they will finally crack or believe you to the point of wanting to take action. Then they make a suggestion. So maybe they respond to you. The Brain washer responds you will would be famous if you did this or that deed. How do we deal with this problem. We have to put regulation on social media! There is a legal battle going on right now. Continue reading →

If anyone is a Hall of Famer it is Bill Belichick. He is the winningest coach of all times, with 8 Super Bowl. Tom Brady and fans are very upset. They are demanding consideration or overturning their decision to SNUB him. It is strictly politics. It is done by secret vote. A new stadium has tens of millions invested could be at stake. Some say Belichick might turn down the offer if it’s made next year. A SNUB FOR A SNUB! Maybe they need to over hall the Hall of Fame if the best does not win? They need to have transparency on who voted for who. There is 50 members voting  takes 80% of the vote, now everyone acts shocked. I think the decision should take a revote and over turned. There is to much to lose over stupid politics! All this is over a first pick  that was adjudicated years ago! Our world is filling with hate and it seems to be coming from the same place.

Tom Brady said it was completely ridiculous! Donald Trump voiced outrage. I don’t think anything will come good from this and it will hurt the game! But while I am at it TV is hurting it. We use to be able to see football on regular channels without paying extra. Most people are not watching because they don’t want to pay extra! They could double the audience by putting it on regular TV. Football is our national sport and making us pay extra for it is like asking us to pay to fill out a political poll. It is unAmerican! Everything is about money. Continue reading →

I would like to tell you about an amazing medical team. But the story must start back a few weeks before in the Shans medical emergency room Ocala Fl.. My wife fell and hit her head on the corner molding opening her head up quit a bit it took nine staples to close her up. We took her to the Shan’s emergency room in Ocala located I-75 and SR 27, nice clean looking facility no waiting quick service. After closing the wound. They had to check to see if she had internal damage, she did  not but “oh no” there a mass (tumor) in her head,  The doctors were surprised. They recommended we take her to a neurosurgeon with urgency.

I’m a newspaper guy so I know a little bit about research. My research told me the best neurosurgeon was Doctor Jacob Freeman, he is one of the few that does this kind of surgery. He is very busy and was kind hard to access. His staff was on it. When I told the Surgical Nurse I was afraid my wife was on her way out and she needed his help. That was New Year’s Eve, he said go to the HCA emergency room now, he will  call ahead and after checking her they would give her a room and begin testing. Three days of testing they had scheduled her surgery for the next week. Surgery date was approved. While talking to Doctor Freeman he said he has been working with an ear nose and throat specialist a Doctor Jose L. Ziron Jr. MD so we were waiting to see if he could assist. Next day they scheduled the operation. Continue reading →

Is it a Bird? Is it a Plane? NO it’s Superman! Oops NO! wrong hero!

One of my favorite hero’s was John Wayne and the character parts he played.  But remind yourself it was make believe. He was always the hero and the last movie I remember watching. At the end there was big open field and the gang of bad guys were calling him out he got on his horse Duke, and hollered “Fill your hands you SOB,s!” took the reins in his teeth, he road against the whole gang of bad guys guns blazing guns one in each hand. Remember that was make believe!

Fast forward to modern day hero which this is not make believe, I bring you Donald J. Trump. Is he a bully maybe? Does he do what he says he is going to do, probably? Remember Trump is always setting someone up to negotiate. Did it work? Most of the time. I did not like the words “We are going to take Greenland!” As you can see we did not, but we did get a sweet deal and that was what he wanted in the beginning. But saying we are going to take them over bothered me. The people in Greenland are living a quiet life not bothering anyone but quietly the Russians and Chinese are trying to take control of them.We need it for defensive reasons to for us to build “The Big Beautiful Golden Dome” we want it to protect ourselves and everyone else on the other side of Greenland from Chinese and Russian missiles. With the Dome we would have a chance to shoot them down. Continue reading →

HORSE COUNTRY

By TomL

Marion County is “Horse Country”! I was always pushing for the people of Marion County to recognize the Cattlemen’s Association. After all it’s the cattle industry that is suffering now! I remember a great horse farm on hwy 40 on the way to Ocala from Dunnellon. “Ocala Stud Farm” I think was the name. In Ocala, FL, the area is famous for its numerous horse farms, with many families like the O’Farrell Family it’s is generational, the father and his son and his son’s son. The family bringing Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds from Texas in the 1960s It seems that the limestone-rich soil was ideal for bone development, establishing Ocala as the “Horse Capital of the World,”!

Horse Country one horse at a time. My wife and I lived in south Florida and we had a horse and pastured it in Davie Fl which was South Florida’s Horse country. The price of land was out of our reach so we decided to move and find land that we could afford. We won d up in Dunnellon Florida. We bought 20 acres and bought 20 more, at one time we had 55 acres  and we decided we did not need that much for the Horse, a riding mule that someone gave us and a  Shetland pony and Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs we were raising. We sold 15 acres. But you see if we did not have a horse we may have never moved, so Marion County grew into the name Horse Country a long time ago probably in about 1950’s. Now to put the icing on the cake now we have the World Equestrian Center. It is growing to one of the biggest industries in our Country. Everything you can think of for horse showing and riding competition. Stall and horse care and elaborate hotels to stay in. With the best restaurants, entertainment and large meeting room bringing large numbers of visitor for industrial shows. Continue reading →

Drain the Swamp    OR Clean the swamp! Donald Trump’s elected to Clean the swamp of terrorist, drug dealers, gangs, dishonest politicians and this is currently in the process. It will be hard to address but he is walking right into it, facing it with “True Grit!” A Modern Day John Wayne! I’m not sure how all this will end up but I’m sure the United States will be in a better place. As we race forward a great speeds with the internet and the cell phones, communications is instant, Knowledge is instant. The internet cost the newspapers a lot of money over night. The biggest money maker for paid newspapers was the classified pages, the Internet did it free. Some times progress hurts. Antique business had a change, buyers use to go to auctions and antique stores buying and part of the price of the product was to find it. I had some Flo Blue plates worth $100 per piece over night they dropped in half. Because they were easier to find.

Yes we are living and traveling at the speed of light, we are breaking the sound barrier every day. You can talk to your cell phone and get information in seconds! I really think that would be considered “Warp Speed!” I would like it to slow just a little. Give us time to think and make good decisions.
