Snatching victory from the mouth of defeat was no cakewalk, nor was it a bed of roses for 77-year-old President-Elect Joe Biden. A president of all the people, not just for those who voted for him, but of all the people is the promise that Biden has made to the American people. A healer, not a destroyer of the American Democracy. Joe has promised to be a man of light, not one of hate, darkness, and divisiveness. The newly minted President has come full circle after serving the nation for 48 years, first as a United States Senator and vice president for eight years.
Kamala Harris gave her first speech as Vice President-elect,In Wilmington Delaware
In his first major speech as President-elect, following his VP-elect Kamala Harris, Biden delivered a speech of hope and healing for a nation that has been torn asunder, over the past four years, by Donald Trump. Below is a snippet of Biden’s unity speech that he delivered in Wilmington, Delaware.
Revelers hold up a sign telling Donald Trump that he has been fired by the American People
We are not red states or blue states, we are the United States of America.
Let’s give each other a chance. It’s time to put the harsh rhetoric aside. It is time to lower the temperature, and to see each other again, listen to each other again. And to make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. They’re not our enemies. They are Americans. The Bible tells us there is a season to everything: A time to build, a time to reap and a time to sow, and a time to heal. This is the time to heal in America.
Now the campaign is over, what is the will of the people? The battle to build prosperity. It is time to get COVID under control. Folks, I’m a proud Democrat, but I’m an American President. I will work hard for those who didn’t vote for me as well as for those who did.
President-elect Joseph R. Biden will be the nation’s second President of the Catholic faith, John Kennedy was the first, and this morning Biden and his family proudly went to Sunday morning church service to seek solace and ask the Lord for guidance in this monumental task that he’s about to take on.
The Ballots or Bullets? In a democracy or a dictatorship, there are only two ways known to man for the changing of or the transfer of leadership or power — and they are through the ballots or bullets. Whenever the transfer of power comes about by way of the latter, it most often occurs via a revolutionary war or a coup. While some coups are “bloodless,” most coup de’tats create a sudden disturbance of normal life expectancy. Revolutionary wars aren’t bloodless coups; they are accompanied by horror, a broad stroke of extreme violence, and unnecessary deaths.
Trump’s Miley — The signs are clear, but no one wants to see them: This is how it all starts
For decades, the United States military has defended democracies worldwide, and it has removed dictators from power and helped to established governments in its likeness, and fashioned a semblance sense of stability. The army of the United States falls under the command of the sitting president of America. He’s hailed as the Commander in Chief and the leader of the “free world,” by politicians and journalists.
President Donald Trump’s festered appendages
What happens when that president — the leader of the free world — runs afoul of the tenets that hold our democracy together and threatens to blow up the foundation upon which the nation stands? Will the military that he commands aid and abet him in tearing down the pillars of American democracy and contribute to the most significant internal conflict and bloodbath the world will have ever seen in the annals of the worlds’ history in the last 6000 years? There appears to be at least one United States General standing in Donald Trump’s corner who is willing to support a “strongman” form of government.
A lust for power and craven to ramrod wickedness on the powerless:Mark Miley,Trump’s side kick
History shows that many madmen have risen to power by hook or crook. Usually, these demagogues speak the language of the “common” people and by appealing to their sense of loss and disenfranchisement. And frequently, those unread people are looking for a savior to protect them from (the others) those who are taking what rightfully belongs to them alone. Those despots are fond of fostering a bond between military leaders and “law” enforcement cliques. When it comes to the behavior and the words of Donald Trump, all the signs are there of a despot in the making.
While other authoritariannations yearn for Democracy, Americans are yearning for Autocracy.DEMOCRATIC BACKSLIDING
As the United States of America goes, so goes the rest of the world. Simultaneously, the erosion of civil rights increase, and several dry runs of martial law is enacted in some states to test the will and the fortitude of the people. The times we are living in are peculiar. As Americans watch its President huddles in private with Russia’s top spy — Vladimir Putin, with no public record of their conversations. What secrets is Putin keeping for Trump? Is Trump being tutored by Putin and Kim Un Jong on how to seize power? Simultaneously many white nationalists who once called for less government intrusion in their lives have now cozied up to Trump and, by extension Vladimir Putin and his totalitarian regime.
President Alibaba and his Lilly White team of 40 merry men
With about 57 percent of 167 countries of the world’s population enjoying some form of a democratic government, attempts of a sudden overthrow of the governments by an internal military (in less powerful countries) than the United States of America has decreased. But with a few corrupt power-thirsty Generals that are willing to play lapdog to a power-hungry President Trump, America could fast be sliding down the road of authoritarianism. There have been many threats made by Trump about switching the current form of government.
Ring the alarm:a peaceful transfer of power?
M1 Abrams Tanks Coming to a City Near You Soon?
When Playboy Reporter Brian Karem posed a question to Trump: “Will you commit to..a peaceful transferral of power after the election?”Trump: “…Wewant to get rid of the ballots, and you’ll have a very transfer—we’ll have a very peaceful—there won’t be a transfer. Frankly, there’ll be a continuation.” So come November 3rd or November 8th; if Biden is declared the winner, will Trump proceed with his plan to overthrow the American government — lead a Coup and over-rule the will of the American people?
Will Trump use the military to keep him in the White House to protect his financial records?
The only time the Constitution of the United States recommends a coup is: “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” There isn’t anything in the constitution that suggests a coup to support the wild lust for power of a mad man to cover his financial crimes nor to prop up a few lost power-hungry Generals.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasizes the importance of awareness for travelers and health professionals regarding chikungunya, a mosquito-borne virus prompting new health advisories worldwide.
The agency has issued several Level 2 travel health notices to guide health decisions, including enhanced precautions for countries currently experiencing outbreaks, such as Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Cuba, and China.
“Symptoms”
The bites of infected mosquitoes primarily spread chikungunyaand can cause a wide range of symptoms. According to the CDC, most infected individuals develop symptoms three to seven days after being bitten.
Common symptoms include fever and joint pain, but headaches, muscle pain, joint swelling, and rashes are also reported. While most recover within about a week, the CDC notes that some may experience joint pain lasting months or longer, highlighting the importance of awareness and prevention.
The virus has appeared in many parts of the world in past years, with outbreaks documented across Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and several islands throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans. In addition to countries with active outbreaks, the CDC is also monitoring destinations with an “elevated risk” of exposure.
These include Brazil, Colombia, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Thailand. The CDC reassures travelers and health professionals that there have been no locally acquired cases of chikungunya in the United States or its territories since at least 2019, supporting confidence in current safety measures.
Severe illness remains uncommon, but vulnerable populations face higher risks. The World Health Organization states, “Severe symptoms and deaths from chikungunya are rare and usually occur in young babies or elderly people with other coexisting health problems.”
For travelers heading to outbreak areas, the CDC recommends vaccination and strong mosquito prevention measures. The agency continues to publish country-specific and global health advisories, reminding travelers to stay informed before international trips.
Other recently published advisories include increases in rabies cases in Haiti and India, as well as alerts on polio in Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Kenya, among others.
The University of Michigan fired its head football coach, She (Rrone) Moore, after his side chick, Delilah D. Jezebel, aka Paige Shiver, filed a complaint against him. Allegedly, She (Rrone) Moore had been tickling Paige Shiver’s spleen for years. In 2021, 32-year-old Ms. Shiver began working at the University of Michigan as an administrative specialist in the athletic department.
The school paid her a salary of about 58K for the 2022-2023 school year. Ms. Shiver is a beautiful woman and worked her way up to being Sherrone Moore’s side chick. She knew he was a married man with children. But love makes things happen. Moore gave her a 55.11% raise for the special tricks and treats she delivers in bed. To discuss power dynamics, one must first understand the power of the “P.”
They say that the Biblical Samson was strong, yet Delilah D. Jezebel got him. And she betrayed him. The great psalmist David had a man executed so he could get the man’s wife in bed. That is the power of the “P” over an unbalanced man.
Don’t feel bad. The power of the “P” got Adam, too, in the Garden of Eden. And Adam was brilliant. He was so smart that he named all the animals and beasts of the field. Adam was way more intelligent than AI. But the snake got him. The snake appeared. It rose and tasted the fruit in the middle of the secret garden. Damn snake!
Huey Lewis and the News say, “That’s The Power of Love.” Baby Face warns that you could be a married man with three kids and “good intentions. That doesn’t mean anything.
Shannon Simp Sharpe / Sherrone Moore Simping.
BIG SIMPING
The University of Michigan said it fired the poor simp Shannon Sharpe for cause for having sex with a whore who later blackmailed him.
Oh, wait, no, the Shannon Sharpe saga was another story—a different story from Sherrone Moore’s. Shannon got outed just when he would have signed a $100 million contract with ESPN. However, we digress. Let’s get the story right.
On September 22, 2022, Boston Celtics head coach Eime Udoko was suspended by the team for violating team policy due to an inappropriate relationship. Eventually, Udodko left the Celtics. The Boston Celtics forced him to forfeit half of his $4 million annual salary.
Udoko was married to Nia Long when he was accused by a female of sexual harassment, with whom he had a consensual relationship. The Boston Celtics suspended him because of the power dynamic in the relationship.
The relationship with Udoka and his side chick was reportedly consensual. Concerning the December 10 firing of Sherrone Moore, Domenico Grasso, the Interim President of the University of Michigan, said, “There is absolutely no tolerance for this conduct at the University of Michigan. None.” The school appointed Grasso on May 10, 2025.
Former NFL great Shannon Sharpe bit the apple of a rubber Ass Wearing Snake. It cost him $50 million.
Michigan State Coach Mel Tucker
In 2023, head coach Mel Tucker, under a 10-year, $95 million contract, was fired by Michigan State for inappropriate conduct. Tucker was accused of sexual harassment during a phone call with a prominent lawyer and activist by a female he hired to speak to his team.” Tucker had signed the $95 contract less than two years before the allegations.
University of Michigan Employment Clause?
The University of Michigan reserved the right to fire Sherrone Moore if he chooses to eat of the poisonous fruit. And Moore ate of the toxic fruit.
The University of Michigan can fire a head coach, like Sherrone Moore, on grounds of “cause,” which includes violating university policies, misconduct (like inappropriate relationships with staff), NCAA rules, or breach of contract, often following internal investigations, leading to termination without full severance pay, as seen with Moore’s firing for an alleged relationship with a staffer.
Former University of Michigan head coach, Sherrone Moore offered this big dick whore free tickets to football games to do a foursome with him. Why would he sleep with a bitch with a dick bigger than his? That Negro freaky.
Today, the Brentwood Police Department in California detained 32-year-old Nick Reiner, the son of legendary actor and director Rob Reiner, after discovering the bodies of Rob and his wife, Michelle Singer Reiner, in their home on Sunday.
Reportedly, the 78-year-old director of iconic films such as “A Few Good Men” and “The Princess Bride” was involved in a heated argument with his son, Nick, on Sunday. Upon the discovery of their bodies in their Brentwood home, one of their daughters (Romy) immediately told investigators that a “dangerous” relative should be a suspect, according to a TMZ report on Monday.
One of the most iconic movie scenes in Hollywood history…from a Few Good Men, directed by Rob Reiner.
LAPD Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton told reporters at a chaotic press conference last night that “We’re going to try to speak to every family member that we can to get to the facts of this investigation.”
All In The Family.
Rob Reiner first gained fame in the 1970s with the acclaimed television sitcom All In The Family, which aired from 1971 to 1979 on CBS. His role as Michael Stivic, the deadbeat son-in-law opposite Archie Bunker (Carroll O’Connor), made him a household name and a key figure in television history. Stivic, who was married to Archie’s daughter, Gloria (Sally Struthers), shared a home with Archie and his wife, Edith (Jean Stapleton). “Oh, Archie.” Among his many movie credits, Rob Reiner also played Leonardo DiCaprio’s father in the memorable and iconic film “The Wolf of Wall Street.”
Actor and comedian Billy Crystal was also seen at Rob Reiner’s home hours after his longtime friend’s death. Sources said he looked like he was about to cry.’
It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle Singer Reiner, after a sudden and devastating event. We are heartbroken by this loss and ask for privacy during this difficult time, as their family mourns. Rob Reiner has another daughter, Tracy Reiner, from his first marriage to actress and filmmaker Penny Marshall of “Lavern and Sherly” fame.
Prestigious Ivy League Brown University came under attack by a lone gunman. Rhode Island Police advised that at least two people were shot dead.
In an event that has shocked the community, we urge students and staff to prioritize their safety and follow official instructions. Please know that support is available, and the university is taking steps to ensure the security and well-being of everyone involved.
At or about 4:20 p.m., Brown University sent out an emergency alert to students, advising them of a critical incident.
The alert instructed students to shelter in place due to an active shooter near the Barus & Holley Engineering school building.
Students were warned to remain indoors and avoid the area until further notice. According to Rhode Island authorities, at least two people have been shot dead, and reports indicate that anywhere from eight to twenty others were injured.
The Providence Police Department released a statement urging everyone to stay away from the area as they conduct an active investigation. They emphasized the importance of following shelter-in-place orders and waiting for further instructions from university officials.
Initially, Providence Police informed the media that they captured the suspect and that the shooter was in custody. Providence Police PIO Smiley later corrected the statement.
They further clarified that they detained a male subject who turned out to be the wrong person.
They later released the person. Providence Police Deputy Police Chief Tim O’Hara told the media in a press briefing that they knew that “the shooter was male, and that he was dressed all in black.”
Officials are asking anyone with information or security camera footage to contact 9-1-1. They caution against confronting the individual because he’s considered armed and dangerous.
Maybe Halley’s Comet is coming to America again. The City of Miami just voted in a non-Republican, non-ethnic white woman to be its mayor. Miami has a White non-Latin population of about 14 percent.
Like the African American population in Miami, White Americans have become an endangered species.
For the past forty years, significant issues have affected the Black American community in Miami.
A combination of factors, such as displacement due to urban development, violent incidents involving law enforcement, natural aging demographics, and gang-related violence, has contributed to a decline in their population.
For instance, according to a *Miami Herald* report, there were numerous cases of police interventions leading to community concerns.
Additionally, the economic pressures of rising living costs have often forced families to relocate.
To gain a more comprehensive view of the current situation, further detailed studies and statistics would be needed.
This event of a non-Latino Miami Mayor is the first in 28 years. Ohio-born Eileen Higginspulled off what no other woman has since the City of Miami was incorporated 129 years ago by another woman from Ohio, Julia DeForest Tuttle.
Higgins, a seasoned politician with a background in local governance, has served on the Miami-Dade County Commission, where she focused on transportation, affordable housing, and environmental issues.
Her platform emphasizes community-led initiatives, transparency in city government, and sustainable growth for Miami’s diverse population.
Mayor-elect Higgins is known for her strong advocacy for sustainable urban development and transportation reform.
With a focus on expanding affordable housing initiatives, her leadership in the Miami-Dade County Commission has been notable.
Her commitment to addressing Miami’s diverse needs through transparent governance and community engagement sets a promising tone for her tenure.
Both Higgins and Caroline’s names sound they they were on the list of the Mayflower. When the mayor-elect talks, she sounds like your school principal from way back in the day.
Paradise Lost — Miami.
Mayor-elect Higgins promised to keep corruption out of Miami City Hall. But is it too late for Miami to be anything other than a bastion of corruption, a paradise lost? Just before the November 05, 2025, election, several Miami Commissioners attempted to move the election to November 2025.
Such a move would keep members of the current commission in office for at least one more year. Some of whom have been on the Miami Commission since 1979. Many stories have been written about Miami as a “paradise lost.” The city has come a long way, becoming a major American metropolis. The growth of the city was largely fueled by the drug money of the Cocaine Cowboys.
129 years after an Ohioan founded the City of Miami, Eileen Higgins, an Ohioan, became its first female mayor. Let’s hope she’s not the last one.
Surprised! On Monday, December 08, Texas U.S. Rep. Jasmine (the “Thot”) Crockett announced her bid for a U.S. Senate seat. Who didn’t see this coming? Rep. Crockett launched her Democratic primary race to challenge Incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn for his seat.”
Rep. Crockett has been in the US House of Representatives, representing herself, since 2023. Since then, she’s built up a reputation as the fiesty pepper-tongue mammy. She’s always quick with a sassy quip and great at shuffling her feet to entertain White liberals. Among serious-minded Black people, she’s known as the female version of Mr. Bojangles—a dancing minstrel and a stepping fetchet.
Initially, Rep. Crockett tied her hopes of winning a seat in the US Senate by being combative with Georgia US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. However, Rep. Greene surprised the political world when she announced her departure from Congress on January 05, 2026. Rep Greene herself is no stranger to controversy, but she knew she was no match for schoolyard Tea Gurl.
Additionally, Greene came under heavy scrutiny and pressure from supporters of President Trump after she demanded the release of the “Epstein Files.”
With Colin Allred joining the Rep Crockett camp, Crockett faces one other challenger in the Democratic primary race. Texas House Rep. James Talarico has also thrown his hat in the ring.
Currently, Texas incumbent Senator John Cornyn enjoys the support of several bigwig Republicans.

A female boss faces serious allegations of sexual harassment, sparking public outrage and curiosity about the case.
A male worker, Kian Cooper, has filed a $100 million lawsuit against Saint Joseph’s Medical Center program director Michele Poole, alleging sexual Harassment and wrongful coercion, including being forced to work early mornings to plow her field, which raises questions about the specific legal claims involved.
The tenderfoot cooper wants $100 million for plowing his boss’s field against his will. Wow. Do you remember the days of slavery? Negro, how many nuts did you bust? Cooper claims Ms. Poole put him on a guilt trip by telling him, “I’m sooo undervalued. You know even a Mercedes needs a tune up sometimes,” according to his $100 million sex discrimination lawsuit. Pink boy, did you get an erection?
While Ms. Poole describes herself as a Mercedes Benz, She’s more like a Ford Pintos that explodes every time something hit in the back.
Mr. Cooper’s Lawsuit alleges that Director Poole demanded that he come to work early in the morning, when his Woody Woodpecker has a ferocious tendency to peck flesh. It’s like a hungry vulture. “What do I get for a promotion? Anything you want. Anything?” While plowing Poole’s field, Mr. Cooper earned a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree. Did he get special treatment to leave work early, or extra time to study?
Fifty-year-old Cooper claims he didn’t know what he was doing. The tenderfoot claims he came to work early every morning to perform sexual tasks under threat of termination from his supervisor, Ms. Poole, according to his Lawsuit alleging sexual Harassment and coercion. Poole told Cooper, she didn’t “see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind.” Even if Kian Cooper gets $25 million out of the charade, he and Ms. Poole may be sipping Pinacolas on a beach in Hawaii for a few years to come.
Since Cooper filed his Lawsuit, Ms. Poole has left the company. Cooper is working there as a clinical supervisor with Saint Joseph’s.
Cooper is still working while waiting for his Blackbeard Queen Anne’s ship to come in.
“I asked her to stop, face to face, numerous times, more than 100 times, and in text messages about 12 to 14 times,” Cooper said.
Cooper claims to justify their relationship, Poole reminded Cooper that Michele was once Barack Obama’s boss.
The Lawsuit Details of the Allegations
“Cooper, a single father, alleged that he was coerced into sexual acts multiple times a week in Poole’s office. He claimed Poole threatened to fire him if he tried to stop the encounters, and he felt compelled to comply due to difficulty finding other work after a past drug conviction. The Lawsuit claimed that different staff members were aware of the situation.”
“According to the Lawsuit, Poole made remarks attempting to justify her actions, including comparing relationships to a car needing a “tune-up”. Cooper claimed the stress resulted in medical leaves and a PTSDdiagnosis.”
Denials and Responses
“Poole denied the allegations, stating their relationship was mutual and lasted six months. She claimed Cooper gave her gifts and cards and denied having the power to hire or fire him.”
An Afghanistan national CIA operative who shot two National Guardsmen, standing near the Farragut Square Metro Station in Washington, D.C., yelled “Allahu Akbar” andthen proceeded to open fire on the Guardsmen. Twenty-nine-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal worked for the CIA for at least ten years in his homeland.
In August 2021, he came to the US during the botched pullout from Afghanistan. Lakanwal has been living in the US for four years.
Last week, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said it was likely Rahmanullah Lakanwal was “radicalized here in this country.”
The “former” CIA operative also shot 24-year-old Army Sergeant Andrew Wolfe.
Lakanwal walked up to Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and shot her in the head without warning. Just before shooting the Guardsmen, Rahmanullah Lakanwal yells Allahu Akbar. Twenty-year-old Sarah Beckstrom would later die from her injury. The incident occurred two blocks away from the White House in Washington, D.C. The Wednesday, November 26, incident, just one day before Thanksgiving, left the nation in shock. The brutal attack serves as a reminder of ongoing security challenges in the nation’s capital.
The attack was carried out by Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan CIA operative with a complex background, including former Afghan military service and ties to the CIA-backed’ Zero Unit’.
Suddenly, from out of nowhere, Rahmanullah Lakanwal walked up and attacked them. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a former Afghan soldier turned CIA-backed’ Zero Unit’ gang member, was also injured during the incident.
Army Sergeant Andrew Wolfe and Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, both Guardsmen, were shot by a madman on November 26.
CIA Backed Zero Unit Equals Zero Sum.
The CIA-backed’ Zero Unit’ has a controversial reputation, often accused of engaging in operations that result in civilian casualties and questionable tactics, raising concerns about their role in national security and civilian safety.
Friends of Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the alleged shooter of National Guardsmen Beckstrom and Wolfe, worked for the CIA for 9 years. They said the CIA recruited him at age 16. Lakanwal trained and worked with the best of the best. As a member of the CIA-backed Zero Unit, he would raid the homes of civilians and kill them.
The Zero Unit has been accused by multiple sources, including investigative reports from The Intercept, of killing over 50 civilians across a series of raids, raising questions about their operations and accountability. Their reputation for zeroing out Afghan civilians and taking zero hostages highlights ongoing concerns about their methods and transparency.
Travelers who reach the airport security line without an acceptable form of identification may soon have to pay for the mistake. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has proposed an $18 charge for passengers who opt into a new identity-verification system for travelers without a Real ID or other federally approved documents.
In a notice published in the Federal Register, TSA outlined plans for an “alternative to today’s manual verification process, instead of relying on officers to ask biographical questions and coordinate with the National Transportation Vetting Center.
The agency intends to launch a more automated system to complete the additional identity verification steps. Under the proposal, travelers would provide personal details and potentially biometric data, such as a facial recognition scan, to confirm their identity.
The fee would grant passengers access to the system for 10 days, which TSA notes could cover both outbound and return flights. According to the agency, the charge would help offset development costs and support a broader rollout at airports nationwide.
TSA Agents Taking A Break
The upcoming change is tied to the Real ID requirements that took effect in May 2025. Travelers must now show a compliant driver’s license, passport, Global Entry card, or another federally recognized ID to enter the security checkpoint. While TSA’s current fallback process is still available, it can be lengthy. It may involve additional screening, including pat-downs and more extensive bag searches, with no assurance that a traveler will be cleared to continue.
The proposed updated system aims to speed things up, but it still won’t guarantee entry. Suppose TSA cannot confirm a traveler’s identity through the new method. In that case, the passenger may still be denied access, and the $18 fee will not be refunded. The program is optional, but those who decline it and lack Real ID-compliant identification will not be permitted through security.
TSA has not set a launch date, but the earliest rollout is estimated for January 2026. For now, the agency’s advice is simple: bring your Real ID to the airport to avoid delays, extra screening, and potential fees. For a complete list of acceptable forms of ID, check the TSA website here.
Florida’s new law (HB 253), “covering” license plates, could lead to fines or jail, making residents feel concerned about fairness and safety. The law updates existing regulations, emphasizing the importance of staying informed about legal changes that affect everyday life.
The more unnecessary laws lawmakers create, the more people they criminalize, which should motivate residents to stay aware of legal changes and advocate for sensible legislation. The Devil always finds work for the idle hands of part-time legislators. How does such a law make the lives of their constituency any better?
Miami-Dade Police Major Aaron Campbell Arrested For Decorative License Plate Frame Allegedly Covering a Part of his License Plate.
When purchasing a new car, dealerships often attach decorative license plate frames, which could violate HB 253. To avoid fines or jail time, vehicle owners should ensure their plates meet state requirements and remove any non-compliant frames or decorations before driving.
UnderHB 523, the decorative frame from dealerships could result in a $500 fine, court costs, or jail time.
A car dealer must not have contributed politically to someone’s political campaign. The ”new” enhanced law also jeopardizes the manufacturers of such devices (license plate frames).
“License Plate Obscuring Device.”
Florida Statutes is amended, and subsection (1) of that section is republished to read: It is unlawful to alter motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, or temporary license plates, or to obscure license plates.
A person may not alter the original appearance of a vehicle registration certificate, license plate, temporary license plate, or validation sticker.
The law makes clear the parameters set forth by the enhanced law. It goes on to state: whether by mutilation, alteration, defacement, or change of color or in any other manner.
A person may not apply or attach a substance, reflective matter, illuminated device, spray, coating, covering, or other material onto or around any license plate. “The term around includes decorative license plate frames. Such an act could cost a motorist $500 and or jail time. Now, who do you think a “discretionary” cop is most likely to take to jail for such a violation? An African American or a White person? The Jeopardy music is playing in the background. Who is?
Penalties:
Second-degree misdemeanor: Purchasing or possessing such a device.
First-degree misdemeanor: Manufacturing, selling, or distributing such a device.
Second-degree misdemeanor (e.g., knowingly altering or obscuring a license plate or possessing a license plate obscuring device):
Punishable by up to 60 days in jail, as per Florida Statutes. 775.082.
Miami-Dade Police Major Aaron Campbell Profiled.
Stopping motorists based on a license plate issue is not a new law-enforcement tactic. Such a tactic is like the “Broken Tail Light” ruse. For many, it’s easy to recall the obscure license plate incident involving Miami-Dade Police Major Aaron Campbell. On April 05, 1997, a Black off-duty police officer named Aaron Campbell got profiled and pulled over by a White Orange County deputy.
On April 09, 1997, Police Major Aaron Campbell was driving north on the FL Turnpike in his new Ford Explorer toward a vacation home he was building in Orlando. Orlando Deputy Corporal Richard Mankewich spotted Campbell, at which time he pulled Campbell over. Corporal Mankewich told Campbell why he stopped him. Campbell told Mankewich, “I follow the law.” He requested to speak with a supervisor.
Mankewich explained to Campbell that he would cite Campbell. Campbell became belligerent and snatched his driver’s license back from Mankewich. As two other deputies arrived at the location, one tried a sneak attack on Campbell from the back. Campbell repelled the sneak attack. The Major had a flashback to the days of slavery and slave patrols. He began running like Kunta Kinte.
Eventually, Mankewich and his crew captured Aaron (Kunta) Campbell. Why are you running, Black man? Don’tDon’t run. This incident is all about a cop profiling a Black motorist. Major Campbell did explain to Mankewich and his crew at the time of the incident. The basis for the traffic stop was the type of vehicle he was driving in the Orlando area. That was a fact at the time.
Corporal Richard Mankewich falsified his police report by claiming he pulled over Campbell for changing lanes without signaling. During the traffic stop, Campbell contended that Mankewich profiled him and that he did, in fact, use his indicator before changing lanes.
Corporal Richard Mankewich, a Colorful Hothead Character.
Corporal Richard Mankewich falsified his police report by claiming he pulled over Campbell for changing lanes without signaling. During the traffic stop, Campbell contended that Mankewich profiled him and that he did, in fact, use his indicator before changing lanes.
How do you know that Mankewich falsified his police report?
In May 1998, Campbell’s license plate case went to trial. 1998 was the same year Representative Johanna Lopez came to America from Puerto Rico. She is a clueless bimbo. She’s just farting in the wind and passing time on the people’s dime. She doesn’t understand America.
Legal Outcome
Traffic Stop Legality: The Circuit Judge presiding over the trial found the initial traffic stop illegal.
Verdict: In April 1998, a jury acquitted Campbell of two felony counts of battery on a law enforcement officer.
Conviction and Sentencing: The jury found him guilty of two misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest without violence. He was sentenced to one year of probation and ordered to perform community service, avoiding jail time because he had no prior criminal record.
Internal Consequences: The Miami-Dade Police Department suspended Campbell without pay after the arrest and conducted an internal investigation. A state board later pursued a complaint against his law enforcement license, questioning his “moral character””.
What Has Corporal Promoted to Sergeant been Up to?
Mankewich’s career with the Sheriff’s Office began in 1991. He has been praised as one of the department’s most aggressive cops.

Mankewich shot Williams in the Parramore neighborhood. He thought he was a murder suspect. Mankewich murdered the wrong man. As usual, they exonerated him.
