Prominent donor to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis died in a suspected suicide amid 'police probe into allegations of sexual misconduct' - as mystery surrounds why he had access card to Jacksonville Sheriff's Office HQ

Kent Stermon, 50, who was found dead last Thursday, was subject to an 'active investigation' that began a few weeks earlier

He was a prominent GOP donor who gave thousands to DeSantis campaigns
Stermon also had a key card to Jacksonville Sheriff's Office HQ, even though he didn't work there, sparking demands for an explanation into the arrangement

A statement from DeSantis's office said: 'The Governor and First Lady were shocked and saddened to hear of Kent's passing'

Stermon was found dead in the parking lot of the Atlantic Beach Post Office in Mayport Road at about 8pm on Thursday. A member of post office staff who was leaving work discovered him alone in a locked vehicle.

The sheriff's office has since confirmed Stermon was subject to an investigation and sources have disclosed it related to allegations of sexual misconduct.

The Times-Picayune reports that Christie's niece, 25-year-old Shannon Epstein, confronted the family after boarding her flight going from New Orleans to New Jersey on Thanksgiving Day.

According to law enforcement officials, Epstein asked the family if they were "smuggling cocaine" and then became increasingly irate to the point where airline workers asked her to leave the plane.

Elon Musk blasts San Francisco's 'far left' views on Twitter as advertisers flee

https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/elon-musk-blasts-san-francisco-17607597.php




For all of Elon Musk’s promises to advertisers that San Francisco tech company Twitter would be “politically neutral” under his ownership, Musk has veered into explicitly conservative territory in recent days.

Now, he’s brought his criticisms to a common right-wing punching bag: San Francisco. In a tweet Wednesday afternoon, after Thiel Capital managing director Eric Weinstein accused pre-Musk Twitter of "shadow banning" and manipulating “the world’s online conversations,” Musk griped about the purported political views of pre-takeover Twitter.

“It has been really bad,” he said. “Far left San Francisco/Berkeley views have been propagated to the world via Twitter.”

Surgeon General under Trump is struggling to find a job ...ha ha!

Kissing trump azz doesnt pay. Isnt this the guy that said trump was in better health than his much much younger self.

In an interview with the Washington Post, one of Donald Trump's former Surgeons General expressed frustration with the path his career has taken due to his ties to the former president that took place during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

As the report notes, Dr. Jerome Adams and his wife have pinned his struggles to find a landing spot commensurate with his experience on what they call they call the "Trump Effect" which is not abating now that the former president has launched a third run for the presidency.

According to the report, "It followed them from Washington to their home in the Indianapolis suburbs. They felt it when he was exploring jobs in academia, where he would receive polite rejections from university officials who worried that someone who served in the administration of the the former president would be badly received by their left-leaning student bodies. They felt it when corporations decided he was too tainted to employ."

In an interview, he explained that Trump is “a force that really does take the air out of the room,” before adding, "The Trump hangover is still impacting me in significant ways.”




As the Post's Manuel Roig-Franzia wrote, "The former surgeon general’s predicament underscores one of the givens of today’s political environment: Association with Trump becomes a permanent tarnish, a kind of reverse Midas touch. Whether indicted or shunned or marginalized, a cavalcade of former Trump World figures have foundered in the aftermath of one of the more chaotic presidencies in modern American history."
