In a powerful statement on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump has made his stance clear on the impending legalization of marijuana in Florida, emphasizing the importance of responsible legislation to ensure public safety while respecting voter decisions.

As Florida prepares to vote on Amendment 3, which would legalize personal amounts of marijuana for adults aged 21 and older, Trump is positioning himself as a leader who balances law and order with personal freedoms.

Trump’s message is clear: while he supports the will of the voters, he is determined to ensure that legalization does not lead to the same chaos seen in Democrat-run cities.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote:

As everyone knows, I was, and will be again, the most respected LAW & ORDER President in U.S. History.

We will take our streets back by being tough & smart on violent, & all other types, of Crime.

In Florida, like so many other States that have already given their approval, personal amounts of marijuana will be legalized for adults with Amendment 3.

Whether people like it or not, this will happen through the approval of the Voters, so it should be done correctly.

We need the State Legislature to responsibly create laws that prohibit the use of it in public spaces, so we do not smell marijuana everywhere we go, like we do in many of the Democrat run Cities.

At the same time, someone should not be a criminal in Florida, when this is legal in so many other States.

We do not need to ruin lives & waste Taxpayer Dollars arresting adults with personal amounts of it on them, and no one should grieve a loved one because they died from fentanyl laced marijuana. We will make America SAFE again!

Trump’s comments come amid growing support for Amendment 3. Florida Amendment 3, known as the Marijuana Legalization Initiative, is on the ballot in Florida as a voter initiative. Florida voters will decide on this amendment in November of 2024.

Trump’s support aligns him with Republican State Senator Joe Gruters, who has recently broken ranks with some party members to advocate for Amendment 3. Gruters praised Trump’s endorsement.

“I am incredibly proud to have President Trump stand alongside us in our effort to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for simple possession of marijuana and to give Floridians the same individual freedom to choose safe, tested products that more than half the country already enjoys,” Gruters said per Florida Politics.

“Our shared goals to expand our freedoms and keep Floridians safe from fentanyl laced marijuana from the illicit market is why Amendment 3 has broad support and will pass in November. President Trump’s call for smart implementation is exactly why I filed a bill to prevent smoking in public. Marijuana should be consumed at home, and I will work alongside my colleagues in the legislature to ensure Florida does this right.”

“Policy? She don’t need no stinking policy!”

That was basically the response of Democratic strategist Antjuan Seawright, taking on the impossible task of defending Vice President Kamala Harris and her failure to go into detail about her plans for the American people if she wins the presidency.

Trying to turn the vacuous into a virtue might be the Democratic plan for 2024, but on Thursday, Seawright somehow managed to come off even worse than Harris normally does.

The moment came during an “America Reports” segment in the run-up to Harris’ ballyhooed first interview Thursday night with CNN’s Dana Bash.

Kaylee McGhee White, a commentary writer for the conservative Washington Examiner, pointed out that Harris has been opaque — to put it charitably — when it comes to her actual ideas.

“Voters have a right to decide which policies they prefer, and she has not given them that right,” McGhee White said.

Seawright responded with a cloud of cliches and context-free numbers no more concrete than Harris’ regular offerings of faux philosophy when “America Reports” co-anchor John Roberts cut in with a question that cornered him.

“Will you acknowledge that there’s no policy page on her website?” Roberts asked.

Seawright played dumb — pretending Harris talks policy from “the podium.”

“When did we start caring about policy pages on websites?” he asked.

“Since forever,” Roberts responded.

The funny thing is, Seawright — who’s no stranger to Democratic propaganda — apparently thought he did such a great job, he actually posted the video to his account on the social media platform X.

He’d gotten a total of seven responses as of 10:20 a.m. ET on Friday — four positives, two negative, and one spam ad for a data management program.

Many other social media users were far less charitable. In fact, they saw right through Seawright’s bluster to the core emptiness beneath.

John Roberts disgust with his answers are epic. He’s one of a handful I like at that network

And a couple pointed out how Seawright’s segment could easily have been mistaken for political parody.

Is this a skit? This is a skit right? This isn’t an actual presidential candidates spokesperson right?

He looks like he could get a job on SNL after she loses with that Comedy

— Larry Moxley (@LarryMoxley3) August 29, 2024

It’s worth pointing out here that as bad as Seawright’s answer was, it was about on par with the answers Harris gave Bash during the interview Thursday night, as Harris, with deceitful running mate Tim Walz, elided meaningful answers on a range of questions, from her “Day One” plans to her blatant flip-flopping on energy policies.

And all of it is intentional.

The Democratic strategy for the 2024 race against former President Donald Trump boils down to avoiding telling Americans anything about what a Harris administration might promise for the country, while relying on a cascade of positive coverage from the establishment media to push Harris over the finish line.

In that context, promoting an actual policy would be counterproductive — since it might give even Democrats a glimpse at the leftist path their leaders are hellbent on taking.

But it didn’t work for Seawright on Thursday afternoon. It didn’t work for Harris Thursday night.

And every decent American needs to make sure it doesn’t work for the Democratic ticket in November.

Nancy Pelosi is championing a radical new policy aimed at granting citizenship and free housing to illegal immigrants—all on the backs of hardworking taxpayers.

During a recent episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, Pelosi revealed her support for a new California law that would extend government assistance to illegal immigrants, enabling them to purchase homes.

California Democrat state senators on Tuesday overwhelmingly voted to pass a bill that would give illegal aliens $150,000 interest-free home mortgage loans.

Illegal aliens will get zero down payment and interest-free home mortgage loans under this new bill.

California’s Democrat governor, Gavin Newsom, hasn’t said whether he will sign the bill.

Democrat Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula (Fresno) recently introduced Assembly Bill 1840 to extend a first-time homebuyer loan program to illegal aliens.

If the bill becomes law, illegal aliens will be eligible for a new program that offers a loan worth 20% of the purchase price of the residential property. There are no monthly payments and no interest accrues on the loan. Rather, the loan is paid back when the borrower refinances or sells the property. The borrower will have to pay back the original loan plus a 20% increase in the value of the property.

Pelosi defended the initiative, framing it as a necessary step toward making the “American dream” accessible to all.

Pelosi’s comments come at a time when millions of hardworking Americans are struggling to make ends meet.

With skyrocketing housing prices and an ongoing homelessness crisis, many citizens are rightfully outraged that their tax dollars could be used to subsidize housing for those who entered the country illegally.

This is not just an irresponsible use of taxpayer money; it’s a direct affront to the principles of citizenship and legal immigration.

Below is the partial transcript:

Bill Maher: The California lawmakers just passed a law. It hasn’t been signed by Governor Newsom yet, but it gives government assistance to undocumented immigrants to buy houses. That’s a different stance than the Democratic Party used to have on immigration. As a non-monarch, I say that’s what the country is going to do, but that’s certainly where California is.

Nancy Pelosi: Well, let me just say, immigration had always been a bipartisan issue. I refer you to the—But not free houses. Well, that’s not free housing. It’s the American dream being available to more people. But understand this about immigration.

The best speech on immigration was by President Ronald Reagan. This is the last speech I will make as President of the United States. I want to communicate a message to the country I love.

And he talked about the Statue of Liberty and the beacon of hope it is to the world, and what America was preeminent in the world because our door was always open.

And we will cease to be preeminent when we shut the door. Now, I don’t do justice to the great communicator. Google it. It’s a fabulous speech. George Herbert Walker Bush continued in that respect for the diversity of America and the rest.

California is always in the lead. Maybe others will follow that lead, but that’s up to those states. But we are very blessed here with beautiful diversity.

Bill Maher: So you’d vote for this law?

Nancy Pelosi: Excuse me?

Bill Maher: So you’d vote for this law?

Nancy Pelosi: Well, I’m not familiar with exactly what it is, but making the American dream of homeownership available to all people is something we have to do for people who are here now.

Bill Maher: This is for the undocumented.

Nancy Pelosi: Well, what I would like to do is move them to documented. They said that I can move them to documented. One of the best things that we can do for our economy is to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

In June, a State Department official was caught on camera admitting the truth behind the ‘Great Replacement Theory.’

This theory is often dismissed by the far-left as “one of the most dangerous white supremacist conspiracy theories out there.”

They argued that the “Great Replacement conspiracy theory is a white supremacist, xenophobic, and anti-immigrant concept that posits white people are being replaced by immigrants, Muslims, and other people of color in their so-called “home” countries.”

The footage, recorded by Project Veritas, exposes a chilling reality: the Biden regime is knowingly allowing criminals into the United States to change the country’s demographics.

The video showcases Dan Fitzgerald, a Country Coordinator for the U.S. State Department, discussing the motivations behind the immigration strategies being pushed on Capitol Hill.

In another clip, an official from the U.S. State Department’s Consular office chillingly admitted, “The truth is they want to change the demographic of the United States.”

Even more alarmingly, the official alleged that the U.S. is selectively allowing criminals to cross the border.

The Heir and the airhead still aren’t getting along.

Prince William of Wales — first in line to the British throne — and Prince Harry Duke of Sussex — last in the heart of his countrymen — managed to turn up Thursday for the funeral service of an uncle in the U.K.

But they also reportedly managed to avoid each other completely.

The world’s most famous estranged brothers sat apart in the back of a church in Snettisham, in the English county of Norfolk, for the service of Lord Robert Fellowes, the brother-in-law of their late mother, Diana, according to the U.K.’s Sun.

“William and Harry were both there, but we never saw them speak to each other, and they were keeping their distance,” one resident told The Sun.

Even to Americans who don’t follow the Royals, the reasons are obvious.

Harry, the younger son of King Charles III, has made himself persona non grata with the House of Windsor since his marriage to a grasping harpy of an American actress has turned into a years-long embarrassment to a family that literally gets paid to supposedly make Britain look good.

The younger son has made millions airing the family’s dirty laundry in very public places — an Oprah Winfrey interview, a God-knows-why-bestselling book — and accusing his blood relatives of all manner of probably spurious sins.

The two have not even been in the same room since their father’s coronation last year, according to The Sun, and apparently have precious little to talk about.

However, both were on hand to see off Lord Fellowes, the husband of their aunt, Lady Jane Spencer, according to The Sun, and a man who’d likely been a major presence in their lives.

According to The Sun, Fellowes — who died in July at 82 — was private secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth II from 1990 to 1999, a period that included the divorce of Diana and then-Prince Charles in 1996, as well as Diana’s death in a Paris car accident in 1997.

At the time of their mother’s death, William was 15 and Harry was 12. Plenty of water has flowed under the bridge since then, much of it muddied by Meghan, nee Markle, Harry’s wife and a grifter of rare proportion.

Harry’s relationship with Meghan sparked problems between the brothers going back to 2016, according to the New York Post, well before Harry and Meghan married in 2018.

Since that wedding, Harry and Meghan have abandoned their posts as working royals and removed themselves to Montecito, California. Their new home is an ocean and a continent away from the Old Country, where they can pretend to be Hollywood A-listers and reinvent ways to sell spite.

In an interview with Oprah in 2021, the royal pains complained about the treatment Meghan received from Harry’s family — including allegations of racism.

In his 2023 memoir “Spare,” Harry claimed that William actually knocked him down during a confrontation over his relationship with Meghan.

Considering that Harry and Meghan have made themselves a joke on the world stage — literally — and considering the lengths Harry has gone to burn his London bridges with the rest of his family, it’s little wonder that the two brothers might find little to talk about, even while marking — and presumably mourning — the death of a family member.

One is heir to the British throne, who by all accounts takes his responsibilities seriously and has a beautiful, responsible wife who has borne him three children and is dealing courageously with a serious cancer threat to her life.

The other is a pretentious no-account, who, with his wife, has turned the British idea of “class” upside down — by turning out to have none at all.

Not even a funeral could bridge that gap.

Nassau County authorities have arrested an 18-year-old Long Island man under a newly enacted mask ban.

Earlier this month, Nassau County Republicans passed a landmark bill banning face masks in public spaces, citing public safety and the need to combat crime during protests.

The legislation, dubbed the Mask Transparency Act, received overwhelming support with a 12-0 vote, as seven Democrats abstained from the process.

This legislation establishes a misdemeanor offense for mask-wearing in public, punishable by hefty fines and potential jail time.

Exceptions are made for religious and health reasons, but the overarching goal is clear: to enhance public safety by ensuring that individuals cannot conceal their identities.

Presiding Officer Howard Kopel emphasized the necessity of the bill in light of rising antisemitic incidents linked to masked individuals since Hamas’ attack on Israel.

County Executive Bruce Blakeman expressed his intention to sign the bill, asserting that “people should not be allowed to cover their face in a manner that hides their identity when in public,” except for those with valid medical or religious reasons.

Penalties for wearing masks illegally include up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Omar Ramirez Castillo was taken into custody on Sunday for wearing a ski mask in public, marking the first enforcement of the law.

The arrest occurred after police responded to reports of suspicious behavior in the area.

Castillo, who was dressed in all-black clothing and a ski mask, was found carrying a 14-inch knife concealed in his waistband, Long Island Press reported.

Authorities charged him with fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, second-degree obstruction of governmental administration, and violation of the newly minted Mask Transparency Act.

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman praised the arrest as a “success” for the new law.

“Our police officers were able to use the mask ban legislation as well as other factors to stop and interrogate an individual who was carrying a weapon with the intent to engage in a robbery,” Blakeman said in a press release.

“Passing this law gave police another tool to stop this dangerous criminal.”
