#BREAKING: New info in the Miami-Dade COVID-19 #VaccinesForVotes scandal: in addition to every county commissioner getting 100 vaccine slots each to control, @MayorDaniella got 1,300 for herself, then her office lied about it #BecauseMiami
Miami-Dade @MayorDaniella has been trying to (falsely) distance herself from the misguided plan that she endorsed on Friday just before it turned into a PR disaster as it was rejected by some commissioners amid claims of corruption, cronyism and pay-to-play politics #BecauseMiami Image
After giving 2,600 COVID-19 vaccine slots to @MayorDaniella and county commissioners to dole out to supporters, @JacksonHealth’s twisted game continued tonight: they tweeted a 15 minute warning for appointments then filled them all in 1 minute. #BecauseMiami #VaccinesForVotes Image
Miami-Dade commissioners turning down the controversial COVID #VaccinesForVotes slots: @CommishDiaz @CommishEileen @RebecaSosaMiami @RaquelRegalado @D_C_Higgins @JavierSoutoD10 and Sally Heyman, whose office told me: "The professionals at @JacksonHealth are doing a great job."
Keeping their COVID-19 vaccine slots: @Ogilbert, who told me he gave his to @LiveHealthy_MG to fill in coordination with local churches and non-profit health providers, and @SenReneGarcia who just announced he gave his to San Lazaro Church in Hialeah...
Word is Commissioners @jeanmonestime @KeonHardemon @kionnemcghee are keeping their COVID vaccine slots, but won't say how they're filling them. @JoeMartinez4026 tells me he'll decide today. Hardemon's office refused to comment and hung up during follow-up questions. #BecauseMiami
Instead of improving their policies and messaging (or just telling the truth), #DesperateDaniella’s office is begging people to defend her. Yet notice the lack of pushback on this thread. Nobody wants to go to bat for @MayorDaniella right now. #BecauseMiami Image
Newly created anonymous troll accounts are defending @MayorDaniella. Amateur hour. Clown town. Silly season. If she doesn’t right this ship, the ineptitude of this administration will sink progressives in Miami-Dade. Time to replace whoever’s whispering in her ear. ImageImage
UPDATE: Miami-Dade Commissioner @JoeMartinez4026 will be returning his COVID-19 vaccine allotment to @JacksonHealth. The office of @jeanmonestime — who already said he will keep his vaccine slots — told me this afternoon, "We are working out the logistics" of how to fill them.

Tough to imagine a worse unforced error in @MayorDaniella's first week than appointing Jimmy Morales Chief Operations Officer. If her idea of "a new day" is to empower the same villains who made us the most corrupt county in America, it's going to be a long 4 years. #BecauseMiami
Everything @MayorDaniella says about Jimmy Morales here is a lie. How she can appoint him to such an important position in our county and be so staggeringly ignorant about his record is alarming. It's like she cancelled her own administration before it even started. #BecauseMiami
For the last 7 years, Jimmy Morales was the city manager who ran Miami Beach into the ground: the city has been paralyzed by corruption, pollution and violence. Exactly what @MayorDaniella promised to fix in Miami-Dade. Here are some lowlights of his disastrous tenure:

Review finds racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic content in all 32 issues of weekly insert printed in @MiamiHerald's @elnuevoherald, calling Michelle Obama "black monster," Africa the "ass of the world" and George Floyd an "ugly common criminal" miamiherald.com/news/local/com…
"Black Americans should be grateful for slavery," reads one column published in @elnuevoherald every Friday, "because it brought them to this country" and "says they have 'contributed nothing to the greatness of America,' and should decamp to Ghana if they don’t like it here."
The column also labels "LeBron James, Obama and Muhammad Ali, whom he insists on referring to as Cassius Clay" as racists, writing "There is no people in the world more racist than Black Americans, who are always accusing the whole world of racism."

#BREAKING: @MiamiHerald/@elnuevoherald publisher @MindyMarques and managing editor @nsanmartin printed and distributed a racist and anti-Semitic periodical published by a convicted fraudster EVERY FRIDAY for MONTHS inside their newspaper
"What kind of people are these Jews? They're always talking about the Holocaust, but have they already forgotten Kristallnacht, when Nazi thugs rampaged through Jewish shops across Germany? So do the BLM and Antifa, only the Nazis didn't steal; they only destroyed."
"Here [in the U.S.] they have lived in peace and prospered since the arrival of the first of them in the 18th century. They became the most prosperous immigrant group...until they were displaced from that position by the Cubans, who surpassed them..."

Opa-locka cop fired 5 years ago for wrong-way I-95 chase and crash that killed 4 tourists quietly got his job back and is now running the whole police department in one of Miami-Dade's most corrupt towns (the FBI once raided city hall) #BecauseMiami miamiherald.com/news/local/com…
Last week, Opa-locka Police @ChiefJDobson was fired a day after Mayor @MatthewPigatt's cousin was pulled over and ticketed "for not wearing her seat belt, no proof of insurance or registration and because the tag on the silver Nissan she was driving was registered to a black BMW"
The firing also followed a report about the broken city's high crime rate: "Opa-locka police were not properly trained or evaluated, policies hadn’t been updated in 6 years and don’t meet basic standards...may point to a police organization beyond repair" miamiherald.com/news/local/com…

Florida man at Fort Myers Costco in "Running the World Since 1776" shirt flips out on elderly woman who asked him to wear a mask and man who defended her #BecauseFlorida (via @profjaffar)
This occurred at the Gulf Coast Town Center location on 6/27 and one of the customers targeted said: "To give Costco the credit, they escorted him out and made me wait inside and monitored him until he left and then they send someone with me to the care to make sure I'm okay."
UPDATE: The man has been identified as now former @TedToddAgency insurance salesman Daniel Maples. CEO @CharleyTodd says: "He absolutely does not represent our values and no longer works at our agency. We are working with Allstate to release a statement shortly. Wear a mask."
