Residents in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Haines City, Fla., knew something was off on Saturday when they saw a young White man driving a bulldozer on the street. As he made his way down the block, the man began running over every lawn sign in sight supporting Joe Biden.
"This man came onto my property, took the two Joe Biden signs I had in my yard and then came back with a bulldozer to run down my fence," Adam Burgess, a local homeowner, told Bay News 9.
The man, later identified by police as 26-year-old James Blight, was charged with grand theft auto and trespassing, according to the outlet.

One man's backhoe rampage across a Central Florida town destroyed several front yards and multiple Biden-Harris campaign signs, according to Haines City Police.
James Blight, 26, was arrested and charged Saturday with grand theft auto and trespassing, with additional charges possible, Mike Ferguson, public information officer for the Haines City Police, said in an email Monday.
"Blight told police that he had been drinking whiskey all day and did not remember most of the day," Ferguson wrote. "He said that he couldn’t help but hit the Joe Biden signs and acknowledged to taking down a fence in the process. Blight said he did not know how to operate the equipment."
Ferguson said that investigators learned that "Blight took out a private chain-link fence and several political signs" and a "city-owned speed limit sign."

A reporter for Bay News 9 posted a video on Twitter showing that the family of one of the victims responded by planting 20 more Biden-Harris campaign signs.

Trump too cheap or broke to give outright donations to his own campaign

An evangelical megachurch in Los Angeles that has defied L.A. County public health orders and held indoor worship services for the last several weeks has been struck with an outbreak of the coronavirus, public health officials confirmed Thursday.
Grace Community Church in Sun Valley has seen three confirmed cases, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
Public health officials are investigating the outbreak and said they will work closely with the church to help limit transmission of the coronavirus in the church, which has an estimated attendance of 7,000. The county did not provide any further details about whether the cases were confirmed among staff or worshipers. Attorneys for Grace Community Church did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
----------------
The conservative megachurch announced in late July that it would restart indoor services — despite a county public health order barring any house of worship from doing so. Thousands of people have attended services, with most not wearing face coverings as they sit side by side indoors, or close together outside under a tent, according to public health officials.
Pastor John MacArthur has repeatedly told the congregation that no one from the church has gotten sick with COVID-19 and claims the pandemic threat is overblown. The church does not screen congregants for symptoms before they enter or require them to follow any protocols, according to court records and interviews with members.
MacArthur has been increasingly skeptical of the pandemic, a viewpoint he has shared from the pulpit. He and his attorneys have argued that it is their constitutional right to hold church services and that meeting together in person is a crucial part of how Grace Community Church's congregants exercise their religion.

If you haven't figured it out yet, the latest Trump scandal should make it clear.
This Trump presidency isn't about conservative or liberal. It's not about Republican or Democratic. It's not about good government or bad government.
It's about making money.
Any way the Trump family can.
It's about pimping out the presidency of the United States to promote their product.
The Trump product.
The latest evidence of that (and there's plenty of it) brings you right here to Loutropolis, where Trump International has hired Eagle Sign & Design to make tee markers that bear the presidential seal for its golf courses.
ProPublica, the online news source that broke the story, said that it viewed documents that showed Trump International, the part of the Trump Organization that operates Trump's hotel business, had contracted to have the tee markers made.

A reporter yesterday asked Trump very clearly and audibly, "You called testing 'foolish.' Why would you call it 'foolish' while cases are spreading?"
Trump: "I don't -- I don't -- I can't hear you with your mask on. Thank you very much."
