Central Florida\u2019s mature mecca city of Ocala is hot and dry today, with scattered clouds that seem undecided whether or not to lead to anything later. They usually do.<\/p>\n
The small strip mall is booming with people right now. A fat woman and her vaguely obese daughter head into the camping store, presumably to find this season\u2019s nicest tents to wear. The dollar store holds it\u2019s bounty of chocolate covered cheap cookies. And Joe Barron drives up, dressed in his best Ross casual wear.<\/p>\n
Barron owns Newsmax and all of its subsidiaries, which include Trump Casinos, Trumpwear, and the newest product, Trump Flaming Dumpsters. He sits down at the table with me at Firehouse Subs and orders a large macchiato.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere aren\u2019t any waitresses here, sir. You\u2019re talking to air.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh,\u201d he says and waves a hand. \u201cJust get on with it, boy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barron has recently filed a lawsuit against ABC programming\u2019s morning talk show The View. I ask him why.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe View is a slobbish garbage show that not only encourages hate speech, but does so at the expense of Newsmax. How are we supposed to report nonsense with them on every day debunking it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think maybe you shouldn\u2019t report nonsense and make tiny little tales into big blown up features, like CRT and the green M&M?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCRT is the BANE OF EXISTENCE!\u201d he shouts as kids run screaming away. \u201cYou can\u2019t tell the truth about America\u2019s racial history! It\u2019s unhealthy!\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u2019m about to disagree when he stands and shoots me square in the shoulder with a small handgun.<\/p>\n
\u201cFlorida! Stand your ground! STAND YOUR GROUND!\u201d<\/p>\n
He\u2019s scooped up by his car and swifted away as I slowly call 911. It\u2019s definitely about to rain.<\/p>\n
