How dare I criticize the Developer and his family in a community from which they have reaped, and will continue to reap, billions of dollars as a major real estate land baron and developer. Sometimes, however, truth to power must be an end and not a means to heaping praise, admittedly questionable, on them, even in this time of a national and unprecedented health crisis. After all, they invited Trump to this community this past summer, or at least did not object to his presence in their honeypot, but what we all know now, Trumps being a day late and a dollar short in manhandling the Coronavirus before what it did and is doing to our country.
The virus is now also creeping its way upwards in the form of persons infected in the county; The Villages cannot be too far behind.
Despite Trump lying his way through this crisis (remember him telling us at the outset that the virus was a hoax; that there would be only 15 cases down to one; that it would resolve quickly; that state governors are exaggerating the equipment their states need despite the death, dying and sickness we see credibly reported; and, now, wanting to cancel out CDC social distancing guidelines by Easter with pews filled aplenty in all churches), he did sign off on the CARES Act of 2020 (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) after it passed both houses of Congress on March 27.

(22,222 posts)in this newsletter now. Even in this lily red enclave, rump is losing support right and left. Death has a habit of changing one's mind, doesn't it? The sheer incompetence of both the republican FL governor and the so called president of this Country can't be hidden or explained away easily now. It is blatantly front and center, every day in the OBIT columns of every single newspaper in the Country.
