  1. One Tallahassee to rule them all, One Tallahassee to find them, One Tallahassee to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them; In the Land of Matlow where the Marxicrats lie.

  2. Pickle all has been gaining in steady popularity since it first premiered in the 7th Seal as a deadly game between Death and the Knight…

  3. Not knowing that “Pickles” was a pickle ball court, my wife and I stopped in and at at Crave’s.

    I must say that it’s good food, easy eating, and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is a bit odd with the pickleball game(s) in progress, but it’s not offensive.

  4. Wilton-That’s what I want to know. More details on who Donna Nyack is and Who contributed to her campaign.
    Edward-Exactly!! People need to Wake Up quickly!

  5. Wilton- there is a conservative “independent” running for school district 2. Little budget,but a lot of heart. Not WOKE- has kids in Leon County Schools, has experience with the local board and wife loves him. Believes Parents should rule !

  6. Looks like Pizza Boy is creating his own PAC (Progressives Anarchy Cabal) to attack and go after those with differing opinions on the City Commission. Once again proving that the two Pro-Hamas Progressives on the Commission (Porter and the Pizza Boy) have no interest whatsoever in working together with their colleagues to improve the City of Tallahassee and the quality of the lives of her citizens within.

    Thier goal is to help defeat their colleague and usher in the third vote for their dangerous and destructive Pro-Hamas Progressive Agenda in hopes of bringing about the downfall of our free society and guide a transition to Communist Authoritarianism structure.

    Better wake the hell up people.

  7. When will we hear something about Donna Nyack? She is now qualified and that’s biggest thing happening in local elections, someone is responsible for that!

    looks like we will lose our one (R) elected in school board 4. conservatives have got to adapt to the new Matlow-Porter-Dot reform coalition future instead of swimming upstream against the inevitable.

  8. I hope the new privately owned ‘Pickleball’ place can control their players because at city owned parks, they are insane.
