From the Net: Pope Francis, at the age of 88, has passed away, the Vatican confirmed on Monday. The cause of death was a stroke that led to a coma, culminating in an irreversible cardiocirculatory collapse. The College of Cardinals is expected to convene in the coming weeks at the Vatican to elect his successor. The announcement of the new pope will be symbolized by white smoke billowing from the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling.

Who monitors the language used on National Television?
Who monitor the truth and people who tell lies to harm someone else?
The FCC use to monitor these things but some newspapers got to big and powerful to monitor because they could destroy the monitors. When someone says (Fxxx) him or (Fxxx) her they need to pay a fine or lose their political office.

According to the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, our income tax system inflicts an almost unimaginable burden on American taxpayers. Americans spend 6.5 billion hours preparing and filing their taxes each year. In addition, they spend over $414 billion in annual costs. That’s over and above their actual tax liability. In 2021, IRS commissioner Charles Rettig noted that we have a $1 trillion annual tax gap. That’s money owed but not collected thanks to illegal tax evasion. Continue reading
The CEP Network recently sat down with some of the key members of the search committee for the new CEO—Doug Cone, Ken Ausley, Dwayne Carlton, and Charisse Rivers—along with longtime staffer and newly announced Interim CEO, Tamara Fleischhaker. They discussed what the process will look like, how long it will take, and what they’re looking for in this new person. One thing’s certain: the Ocala CEP is not letting off the gas!
Some of the burning questions included: How was the search different the last time? What kind of person are you looking for this time? What do you think Ocala needs more of in the next 10 years? And more!
