If the United States is the laughingstock of the world, Florida is the laughingstock of the United States.
Florida Sen. Rick Scott, aka Voldemort, is making sure Florida remains atop the hit parade of idiocy.
He recently sponsored a measure that would designate Oct. 14 a day of remembrance for the new martyr, Charlie Kirk.
What this means is the legislative branch of the U.S. government is now celebrating racists, misogynists and homophobes.
If the world was laughing at us before, now it’s shaking its head in bewilderment.
And so are a lot of Americans.
About the author:
Del Stone Jr. is a professional fiction writer. He is known primarily for his work in the contemporary dark fiction field, but has also published science fiction and contemporary fantasy. Stone's stories, poetry and scripts have appeared in publications such as Amazing Stories, Eldritch Tales, and Bantam-Spectra's Full Spectrum. His short fiction has been published in The Year's Best Horror Stories XXII; Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine; the Pocket Books anthology More Phobias; the Barnes & Noble anthologies 100 Wicked Little Witch Stories, Horrors! 365 Scary Stories, and 100 Astounding Little Alien Stories; the HWA anthology Psychos; and other short fiction venues, like Blood Muse, Live Without a Net, Zombiesque and Sex Macabre. Stone's comic book debut was in the Clive Barker series of books, Hellraiser, published by Marvel/Epic and reprinted in The Best of Hellraiser anthology. He has also published stories in Penthouse Comix, and worked with artist Dave Dorman on many projects, including the illustrated novella “Roadkill,” a short story for the Andrew Vachss anthology Underground from Dark Horse, an ashcan titled "December" for Hero Illustrated, and several of Dorman's Wasted Lands novellas and comics, such as Rail from Image and “The Uninvited.” Stone's novel, Dead Heat, won the 1996 International Horror Guild's award for best first novel and was a runner-up for the Bram Stoker Award. Stone has also been a finalist for the IHG award for short fiction, the British Fantasy Award for best novella, and a semifinalist for the Nebula and Writers of the Future awards. His stories have appeared in anthologies that have won the Bram Stoker Award and the World Fantasy Award. Two of his works were optioned for film, the novella “Black Tide” and short story “Crisis Line.”
Stone recently retired after a 41-year career in journalism. He won numerous awards for his work, and in 1986 was named Florida's best columnist in his circulation division by the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors. In 2001 he received an honorable mention from the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association for his essay “When Freedom of Speech Ends” and in 2003 he was voted Best of the Best in the category of columnists by Emerald Coast Magazine. He participated in book signings and awareness campaigns, and was a guest on local television and radio programs.
As an addendum, Stone is single, kills tomatoes and morning glories with ruthless efficiency, once tied the stem of a cocktail cherry in a knot with his tongue, and carries a permanent scar on his chest after having been shot with a paintball gun. He’s in his 60s as of this writing but doesn't look a day over 94.

So let me get this straight.
Stephen Colbert of CBS loses his job over alleged offensive comments.
Matthew Dowd of NBC loses his job over alleged offensive comments.
Karen Attiah of The Washington Post loses her job over alleged offensive comments.
And Jimmy Kimmel of ABC loses his job over alleged offensive comments.
Yet Brian Kilmeade of Fox News, he advocated giving LETHAL INJECTIONS to mentally ill homeless people, somehow retains his job.
Let me ask you guys something: Do you get the impression that certain viewpoints are being suppressed, and other viewpoints are being elevated?
Hmmm. I thought we had freedom of speech in this country.
Welp, I guess not.

The latest wrinkle in the Charlie Kirk saga is that Tyler Robinson, the person suspected of assassinating Kirk, was rooming with a trans person.
The MAGAts have jumped all over this, desperate for a connection between the assassination and the LGBTQ community. They’ve even gone so far as to suggest Kirk and his roommate were dating. In fact, a relative of the trans person said she wouldn’t be surprised if that were true. Nice of the media to report that salacious yet unfounded little detail.
There’s no evidence to suggest Robinson and this trans person were partners, but that hasn’t stopped the MAGAts from spreading the rumor. That’s because they care less about the truth than their own narrative.
Meanwhile, while our attention was focused on the assassination, the Senate voted to table a measure that would have required the Justice Department to release the Epstein files.
You see how this works? You see how they do their business?
They wait until something comes along, something that pulls our attention away from what they’re doing, and they slide their dirty business under the table.
It isn’t going to be that easy this time, because like I have said in the past, Epstein files, Epstein files, and lest you forget, Epstein files.
