Geechie's JournalRebekah Jones drops lawsuit against state of Florida, plans to refile
Source: Washington Post
TALLAHASSEE — Former Florida Department of Health whistle-blower Rebekah Jones has moved to dismiss her lawsuit against the Florida Department of Law Enforcement that alleged that the state violated her constitutional rights when agents raided her Tallahassee townhome in December.
Jones’ lawyer, Richard E. Johnson, said she could not continue the case because of a pending criminal case against her but will refile the lawsuit when that case is resolved.
“You can’t do a criminal case and a civil case at the same time,’' Johnson said Tuesday. “The criminal case has to go first. It’s better to dismiss it so you can start over with the facts as they exist at the time of refiling.”

Wayyyy down in the text:
“Jones, who now lives in Washington, D.C. ...”
Wait What!? Is it possible my hope that Jones would go to DC to work on Biden’s COVID task force is coming true?
Hey, a gal can dream!
'An excuse to make it harder for everyday citizens to have their voices heard'
In other words ... so much for “government in the sunshine.”
If you live in Florida, please show the Phoenix some love by sharing their links and throwing a few bucks their way. This is real journalism, folks!

The Professor of Denial
"In the seven years since the [Sandy Hook] shooting, Fetzer has leveraged his academic credentials to become a leading voice in a community of skeptics who argue the Sandy Hook tragedy and other mass shootings are hoaxes. On his blog and in a book, Nobody Died at Sandy Hook: It Was a FEMA Drill to Promote Gun Control, Fetzer accuses Pozner of circulating a fake death certificate for a fictitious child when he tried to prove his son had lived and died. Those statements are the focus of Pozner’s lawsuit against Fetzer, who lives in Wisconsin. With DNA tests, government documents, an affidavit from the funeral home, and Pozner’s son’s medical files in the court record, the judge has already ruled for Pozner on summary judgment and declared Fetzer’s statements false and defamatory. The jury is here only to decide how much Fetzer’s lies should cost him."

Fun thing I just learned: On some sites that require sign-in or subscrition (such as the one cited here), you can switch to Reader View to avoid having to give yet another website all your personal info.

A great article on strategy for November
You have to have a subscription, unless there's some way around the firewall, but here it is:

Speaking Freely: Chalmers Johnson
This is a link to the full film. It's refreshing to listen to someone speaking about history from first person, no-spin, just the facts as he saw them. I'm glad to see his books are being noticed now. The video was posted a couple of years ago, and the interview is from 2007.

Paging Rick Scott
[link:https://www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-coronavirus-economic-stimulus-package-bill-2020-03-25/|]
The bill increases the maximum unemployment insurance payment by $600 per week and extends the period for which workers are eligible to four months. Four Republican senators — Senators Tim Scott, Rick Scott, Ben Sasse and Lindsey Graham — raised concerns about what they called a "drafting error" in the bill, arguing that the expansion could incentivize workers to lose their jobs if the totality of state and federal unemployment benefits exceeds their current income.
******
Once again, progress grinds to halt while some shitheads discuss the possibility that some people might actually get a few more bucks than they "deserve" or be "incentivized to lose their jobs." GOOD GOD!!!
How much money are we talking about here, versus the corporate bailouts they don't think twice about signing off on?
