![]() After 6 burglaries, 3 car thefts, committing 2 violent home invasions, 3 armed robberies, beating 4 victims senseless, passing counterfeit money, and being arrested 23 times since 1998. (Note: George Floyd hasn’t committed a crime in over one year) His family has received $27 million from the state and $20 million from “go fund me”. Also, President Biden and his VP met with the Floyd family on May 25th, the one year anniversary of his death. Nancy Pelosi in June of 2020, gave the Floyd family a folded American Flag that had flown over the Capitol on the day he died –as a fallen hero. Think about that one! |
![]() [“5G, What Is It Good For”] The only difference I see with my 5G setup is more ads in my apps. I don’t see improved speed or performance only more ads. I think we’ve been duped once again. I have two phones. The one with 5G all of a sudden is filled with all kinds of ads. The phone without 5G has very few. |

[Crook] Former Keys Boys & Girls Club exec faces 12 counts of misappropriating funds. Dombroski was arrested by Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputies at his home on Big Pine Key a little after 11 p.m. Friday, June 16, after a two-year investigation by the Key West Police Department Criminal Investigations Unit and the federal Internal Revenue Service. The arrest warrant lists 11 counts of fraud and one count of forgery, all felonies, and states that Dombroski wrote nine checks to himself from the Boys & Girls Club (BGC) bank account worth $4,239 that he claimed were reimbursements for club expenses he had paid out of his own pocket.

[Speaking Cuban] In the paper there’s a woman holding a sign that reads, “Diaz-Canal SINGAO”! What it tells me is there is not one Spanish speaker working at the “Keys Weekly. Not a Cuban for sure. In an area where the relationship with Cuba is portrayed as close, on an island that tries so hard to be accepting of One Human Family – there’s not one Spanish speaking journalist on staff at any of the mullet wrappers who realized the swear word that was published – yet if it was in English, there would be an uproar from Cuban-Americans. As an American – a bilingual American with no Cuban blood, but born in Miami when Cubans fled the island in the 60’s, and as an American who has rescued countless Cuban rafters in the early 90’s – I know what the word means, and I find it hilarious that the media in the Keys has dissolved into gringos from the north with no cultural background except to say they eat at 5 Brothers or grab sandwiches at Sandy’s. When I was coming up in Miami, we’d yell “Singa te” at each other as kids, because we learnt all the bad words first. There’s a new level of dumb in the Keys that’s taken over since the smugglers, shrimpers and treasure hunters have been all but run off. It’s infected the pandering press in paradise, just as it has in the mainstream media. No, I’m not offended. |

[Unsafe America] Padres-Nats game suspended after shooting outside DC stadium. D.C.’s game between the San Diego Padres and Washington was suspended in the sixth inning Saturday night after a shooting outside Nationals Park that caused echoes of gunfire inside the stadium and prompted fans to scramble for safety in the dugout.
The shooting, an exchange of gunfire between people in two cars, left three people injured, according to Ashan Benedict, the Metropolitan Police Department’s executive assistant police chief. One of the people who was shot was a woman who was attending the game and who was struck while she was outside the stadium, he said. Her injuries weren’t considered life-threatening. Video |

[”Let’s kill all the lawyers”] It was a corrupt, unethical lawyers he was referring to. Shakespeare’s exact line ”The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers,” was stated by Dick the Butcher. Dick the Butcher was a follower of the rebel Jack Cade, who thought that if he disturbed law and order, he could become king. Shakespeare meant it as a compliment to attorneys and judges who instill justice in society |

[Keys Crime] I’m forever amazed by the amount of and types of crime I read about on the MCSO arrest sheet. Today I saw a man from Miami Gardens charged with murder while robbing someone. Gone are the old days many of us moved to the Keys for. It’s now “Miami south” with all the ills of the suburbs instead of being the retreat it once was. RIP Florida Keys. |
