    Florida’s Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo compared vaccines to "slavery" and announced plans to repeal every state law requiring children to receive mandatory vaccinations, making Florida the first state to do so.

    Florida is just on another level...

    "He had written the neighbor a letter telling her that he would continue to kill his pet peacocks if she kept feeding them “to prove a point”, according to the affidavit, which did not say how many peacocks he kept."

    "The man “admitted to killing the bird by cutting the bird’s neck out of spite, then bleeding it out, and then later eating the bird after cooking it on a frying pan”, the affidavit said."


    What point did he prove? Think I'm gonna just head on over to the basketball subforum now...

    Even though it is Oklahoma, it is on the level of what a Florida guy would do.

    Man gains access to girlfriend inside Okla. Co. Detention Center after allegedly posing as an attorney

    An Oklahoma man has been arrested for allegedly posing as an attorney to gain access to his girlfriend who is locked up at the Oklahoma County Detention Center.

    According to a probable cause affidavit, Aaron Oldham went to the attorney’s visitation area of the Oklahoma County Detention Center on October 13 saying he was an attorney and asking to see Christine Hillier. Hillier is being held at the jail on a warrant out of Nevada.

    According to the court documents, Oldham referred to Hillier as his client. Once inside an attorney’s visitation booth, the pair filled out power of attorney paperwork and then began kissing and hugging. Investigators say Oldham has not received any legal training and has never held a license to practice law.

    When Oldham was arrested he told deputies he believed that he had attorney client privilege with Hillier because she is his girlfriend.

    It's well beyond the sh*** & giggles of Idiocracy. We're living a Pasolini film now. Seeing Netanyahu mugging it up in front of the cameras with Trump and declaring peace after he and the IDF have butchered tens of thousands of children... The unhinged cruelty from the two would fit as a scene from Salo.

    Folks from Houston went to Florida to do Florida things.

    Parents accused of leaving baby alone on Florida beach for nearly an hour claim they ‘lost track of time’




      • A Texas couple is facing charges after deputies say they left a six-month-old baby alone on a Florida beach for nearly an hour.
      • While deputies waited for crews with the South Walton Fire District to arrive and assess the infant, they said the parents returned to the scene, where both admitted to placing the child under the tent for a nap before leaving with their other children, claiming they lost track of time.
      • Both parents, Brian, 40, and Sara Wilks, 37, of Houston, Texas, were arrested and charged with child neglect without great bodily harm. They both bonded out the next day.
    MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. - A Texas couple is facing charges after deputies say they left a six-month-old baby alone on a Florida beach for nearly an hour.

    What we know:

    According to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office, deputies went to Miramar Beach on Friday to follow up on reports of an infant who was unattended under a tent on the beach.


    Witnesses told deputies that the baby had been left alone for nearly an hour while the parents walked down the beach with three other children.

    Good Samaritans immediately began caring for the child and called law enforcement.

    While deputies waited for crews with the South Walton Fire District to arrive and assess the infant, they said the parents returned to the scene, where both admitted to placing the child under the tent for a nap before leaving with their other children, claiming they lost track of time.

    According to WCSO, security footage confirmed the family was away for nearly an hour and did not bring their cell phone with them.

    First responders who evaluated the child said the baby’s vitals were normal.

    The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) was notified and responded immediately to the scene.

    Both parents, Brian, 40, and Sara Wilks, 37, of Houston, Texas, were arrested and charged with child neglect without great bodily harm. They both bonded out the next day.

    DCF took custody of the children pending the arrival of family members traveling from Texas.

    What they're saying:

    "We’re thankful for the quick-thinking beachgoer who raised the alarm and for those who stepped in to care for the child with the same kindness and concern they would show their own," said Sheriff Michael Adkinson.

    'She would give us vapes': Lee County teacher tested positive for cocaine, district moves to fire her

    A Lee County teacher could soon lose her job after district documents show she reported to work under the influence of cocaine and allegedly allowed students to vape inside her classroom.

    The School District of Lee County has filed a petition for termination against Nuria Acuna, a teacher at Island Coast High School in Cape Coral.

    The Lee County School District said Acuna tested positive for cocaine on Feb. 13, after a staff member reported her behavior, prompting a drug test.


    District officials say Acuna was immediately removed from the classroom and placed under investigation in February.

    "During follow-up interviews conducted later for the drug test investigation, multiple students advised the investigator that the employee vaped in a class and permitted students to vape in that class. It was also reported that the employee shared her personal vaping device with students in the class and sold drinks and chips to students from her room," a representative with the school district told WINK Investigates.

    Two parents with seniors at Island Coast High School said they were shocked and support the district’s decision to fire her.

    "No teacher or student should be allowed to be under the influence of any substance or smoke or vape at school," Margeret said.

    Another parent, Janay, said, "I think she should be terminated and I think she should be more than terminated. She should be in jail."

    A student who had Acuna as a teacher described her as “chill,” but said they now understand the seriousness of the allegations.

    "She would give us vapes," Chloe Pitt said. "You can’t bring drugs into school. It’s 2025, we can’t be having that."

    Another student, Trevor Caradonna, didn't have Acuna as a teacher but said he’s frustrated with what he sees as misplaced priorities.


    "The school is focused on phones, but teachers can come in high? Make that make sense,” Caradonna said.

    Acuna faces four counts of misconduct, including:

    • Ethics in Education: Based upon violations of Board Policy 3210.01
    • Standards of Ethical Conduct for Instructional Staff: Based upon violations of Board Policy 3210
    • Educator Misconduct: Based upon violations of Board Policy 3139
    • Florida Administrative Code: Based upon violations of Rule 6A-5.056(2),
    Superintendent Denise Carlin has endorsed the recommendation for termination.

    The school district told WINK Investigates, "Reporting is not required, so law enforcement was not involved."

    WINK Investigates followed up with the district on why law enforcement was not notified if Acuna allegedly provided students with a vape device that could contain nicotine or other substances. The district has not responded.

    WINK News reached out to Acuna multiple times by phone and text. She responded with "no comment" via text.

    When WINK Investigates visited Acuna's home, a woman identifying herself as Acuna’s mother said her daughter had been teaching for 15 years.

    Acuna is currently suspended without pay pending a termination hearing scheduled for November 4.

    The Lee County Teachers Association declined to comment on the case.

    WINK Investigates has also asked the district if this was Acuna's first instance of misconduct. The district has not yet responded.

    C'mon, it's Mississippi, but none of you posted this one? :D A couple of days or so ago, a truck carrying monkeys apparently infected with covid-19, herpes, and hepatitis C overturned and some monkeys escaped. Apparently they shot a few of they found but as of a few hours ago 3 are still on the loose. I'm guessing they've turned their homing beacons on and are heading to Florida.

    I had one friend yesterday sending me pics with monkeys randomly added to them using AI. She sent me a pic of a monkey riding a donkey their family owns on their property. I sent her a pic at my barbershop of a mug with Hello Kitty all over it where one of the ladies that works there loves Hello Kitty and so does my friend. Thought she may want to buy one. She sends the pic back with a monkey sipping through a straw out of the cup. Can't stop laughing.

    Escaped monkeys 'destroyed' after Mississippi police are mistakenly told they're a danger
