Muslims are providing biased "teacher training" in Michigan and got caught

I would hope this is not happening in Lake County or other Florida School Districts. If so, it violates the Constitution as this More Law Center report describes. I am asking that any parent or teacher who sees this happening to contact either me or the Thomas More Law Center. Muslim indoctrination should not be taking place in schools, either for teachers or students. https://fraudscrookscriminals.com/2019/08/23/are-your-tax-dollars-being-spent-on-islamic-indoctrination-in-schools/ Vance Jochim 352-638-3578 Tavares, FL Lake County, FL Fiscal Watchdog blogger FiscalRangers.com [email protected] YouTube: FiscalRangersFlorida channel Twitter: FiscalRangers Read more →

Cannabis "infused" beverages are next big Marijuana growth area

The approval of medical marijuana outlets and growing facilities has been controversial in Lake County, FL. Now it appears that once marijuana is grown or treated at certified growers to exclude THC, the result is "cannabidiol" which can be "infused" (like Tea) into beverages, which is planned to be a big market. So the market for non-THC Marijuana, or CBD, may be bigger than anyone thinks. Here is a great visual graphic showing the issue which has much better resolution than our screen capture above: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/boom-in-the-cbd-beverage-market/ Read more →
