      The political revelation made me happy and excited. I was glad because few candidates realize that now is a good time to start to test the waters and prepare for an election in 2024.

Under its current Governor, the State of Florida has engaged in an all-out attack on Black Americans, accurate Black history, voting rights, members of the LGBTQ +community, immigrants, women’s reproductive rights, and free speech, while simultaneously embracing a culture of fear, bullying, and intimidation by public officials.

Continuing an effort to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives from Florida’s higher-education system, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a measure aimed at prohibiting colleges and universities from spending money on “DEI” programs.

     In America today with the proliferation of gun violence, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to write about sports. The Mississippi governor shamelessly participated in an ad parodying a Clint Eastwood movie celebrating and promoting gun violence, and a young lady playing hide and seek in her yard  was shot in the head with a 22 pistol by an angry neighbor. America has lost its moral compass if it ever had one. Disrespect, distrust, fear, and hatred for anyone different in all manner of life rule the day. Pardon me for digressing.
