This week saw even some “conservative [Florida] counties that backed … Trump … defying DeSantis and instituting their own [school mask] mandates.” 1/ #FlaPol #DeathSantis@RonDeSantisFL⁩ 1/ wionews.com/world/more-flo…
2/ “Earlier this week, populous Brevard County along Florida’s east coast, which went for Trump over President Joe Biden by more than 16 percentage points in November, narrowly voted to approve a 30-day school mask mandate.”
3/ “At the Brevard County meeting on Monday, Misty Belford, the chair of the school board who a month earlier had opposed a mask mandate, switched her vote and gave proponents a 3-2 majority.”
Belford changed her mind … after watching the district’s caseload spike…
4/ … including a 49% increase in student cases from one week to the next. One school was closed for two days after most of its students were quarantined.
‘We are at an absolute crisis point,’ Belford said.”
5/ “Hernando County, which supported Trump over Biden by almost 30 points, also passed a [school mask] mandate, but one that allows parents to opt out.”
6/ In Lake County, Florida, which “strongly backed Trump, … [t]he board listened to more than 3 hours of public comment on the mask [mandate] proposal then postponed a decision. Some 280 people spoke or sent emails on the issue, & 2/3 of them supported the [mask mandate] idea…”
7/ “A 30-day mask mandate is the minimum that we can do. ... Please protect our [Lake County] students and our teachers who are too scared to speak out because of the ramifications of their opinions…” #FlaPol #DeathSantis orlandosentinel.com/news/lake/os-l…

👀In August 2020, Trump’s Federal Reserve approved a $50M coronavirus relief loan to a PA casino owned by the children & grandchildren of Louis DeNaples who was chairman of the bank that made the loan. h/t @jacobadelman 1/
inquirer.com/business/main-…
2/ The loan recipient: “the Mount Airy Casino Resort, owned by trusts for DeNaples’ children and grandchildren. DeNaples had to relinquish his own ownership to resolve charges that he’d concealed his ties to organized crime.”
3/ As noted by @j2dumfounded, the coronavirus relief loan to the DeNaples PA casino (the Mount Airy casino) was much larger than other such loans at that time. Image

Um, why did Trump’s Federal Reserve give an obscenely disproportionately large coronavirus stimulus loan to a PA casino owned by DeNaples w/ ties to the Bufalino crime family?! What did Trump want in exchange? (Recall that PA is a crucial swing state.) 1/ reuters.com/article/usa-fe… Image
3/ Per Reuters, the loan was made during the week that ended August 5, 2020.

Remember? Do not underestimate Steve Bannon. It’s not that he’s so extraordinary generally. It’s that he’s extraordinarily evil AND deeply connected both politically and financially. 1/
This was RT’d by Alexandra Preate, Bannon’s press Secretary in PA. Her dad, Ernie Preate, is a convicted felon & frequent guest on Bannon’s podcast. He’s an attorney & is defending Frank Scavo who organized buses to the insurrection & posted incriminating messages to his FB. 2/ Image

Chris Wray & Kavanaugh both worked 4 the Bush WH when it was was hiding its emails on that private server hosted by Smartech (which also, bizarrely, received Ohio’s 2004 returns b4 they were posted). Russia hacked Smartech in 2015, but Comey pretended it was no big deal. @RWPUSA
Here’s a piece by @leannewattphd & @RWPUSA re: Russia’s hacking of Smartech. 1/ link.medium.com/rfL9y8wwAjb
I’ve written about and discussed the hacking of Smartech many times. Many people may be compromised because of it. 2/
