GEO Group (and Ron Book) to get massive profits from the tRUMP re-election

 More money for priate prisons means more money for DUI Daddy Ron Book.

Private prison stocks jump on Trump appointment of immigration hard-liner Tom Homan

Private prison stocks rose Monday after President-elect Donald Trump selected immigration hardliner Tom Homan as his “border czar.”

The Geo Group and CoreCivic jumped more than 4% and more than 6%, respectively. Homan served as the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement during Trump’s first term.

Trump said Sunday on Truth Social that Homan “will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin.” Homan will be responsible for the southern border, the northern border as well as all maritime and aviation security, Trump said.

Homan told a conservative conference in July that he “will run the biggest deportation operation this country has ever seen” when Trump returns to office.

“With Trump returning to the White House, there will be a far firmer embrace of Geo Group and CXW,” Isaac Boltansky, an analyst at BTIG, told clients in a Nov. 6 note. The second Trump administration would allow for contracting with the U.S. Marshals Services and the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Boltansky said.

“More importantly they would take a far more aggressive stance on border enforcement, which would impact the ICE business lines at these firms,” the analyst told clients.

(PS: As much as I'm loathe to see tRUMP back in office, seeing Lauren Book endorse a prosecutor when her whole family is full of criminals was sickening to see. Glad I vote Third Party.)

Slander Suit against now-FORMER Florida State Senator Lauren Book allowed to continue

It is a lot harder for the Books to get rid of a slander suit when her opponent has standing in the comunity.

JUDGE RULES IN DR. BARBARA SHARIEF'S FAVOR TO PROCEED TO TRIAL WITH HER CLAIM THAT SENATOR LAUREN BOOK MALICIOUSLY SLANDERED HER WITH STATEMENTS THAT BOOK KNEW WERE FALSE

News provided by Sharief For Florida 

Jul 26, 2024, 07:00 ET

DAVIE, Fla., July 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Broward County Mayor Dr. Barbara Sharief won another landmark victory and is one step closer to ultimate justice at trial for the alleged slander that she received by Lauren Book and her campaign. The Court ruled last night that Dr. Sharief had presented sufficient evidence to proceed to trial where she will be seeking over one million dollars in damages against Book and her campaign team for making false and untrue accusations that Sharief committed Medicaid fraud, among other falsehoods.

Judge Shari Africk Olefson stated as follows:

"That sufficient unrebutted evidence is reflected in the record, including but not limited to for a reasonable jury or trier of fact to conclude that Defendant (LAUREN BOOK) made and published to third parties, false information which was intended to harm Plaintiff in the context of an election campaign, and did harm Plaintiff."

The Court once again rejected Senator Book's relentless efforts to have the defamation lawsuit thrown out of court. This latest ruling was after the Court reviewed the under-oath depositions of Book and her campaign manager. The case will now head to a jury.

Expressing her stance, Dr. Sharief emphasized, "I am extremely proud that I have stood up for myself and every person who cares about truth and honesty in public discourse. No citizen should be victimized by the type of lies and politics of personal destruction and bullying exhibited Lauren Book and her campaign when they disseminated knowingly false information that harmed my family and my reputation." 

Dr. Sharief's attorney Michael Pizzi said about the Judge's decision to move the case forward to trial. "We look forward to heading to trial and obtaining an ultimate victory in Court that will send a powerful message that the truth matters in politics and that hard-working self-made public servants like Dr. Barbara Sharief cannot be the subject of defamatory statements.

Lauren Book's latest grift is trying to force foreign nations to join in her personal campaign of hatred and discrimination

Not everyone gets a slap on the wrist like Lauren
Book got after her arrest.
Book was never held accountable!
You folks may not want to believe this, but some countries of the world do NOT think like Americans. Some nations actually believe in the concept that a person who served time deserves a second chance. That concept is foreign to now-FORMER State Senator Lauren Book, who thinks the Olympics should police the world according to her disgusting standards. Of course, she's just trying to stay relevant now that she's no longer Florida's version of a DEI hire. 

Steven van de Velde served his time and should be allowed to compete. Lauren Book needs to stay out of International affairs. 

https://floridianpress.com/2024/08/leader-book-endorses-petition-to-ban-convicted-child-sexual-abusers-from-olympics/

Florida State Senate Minority Leader Lauren Book (D-FL) and her advocacy group – Lauren’s Kids – are asking individuals to sign a petition calling for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to ban convicted child rapists from competing in the games.

This call to action from Book comes as Dutch beach volleyball player Steven van de Velde has been allowed to compete in the games despite being sentenced to four years in prison in 2016 for raping a 12-year-old girl. He served just one year, according to The Mirror.

This issue is personal to Book.

That’s why on social media, Lauren’s Kids is promoting the petition to ban child sex offenders from participating in the Olympics.

“The International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) decision to allow convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde to compete in the 2024 Olympic Games is a betrayal of the trust placed in the IOC by athletes, spectators, and the global community.”

Lauren Book herself added, “SIGN OUR PETITION demanding the IOC immediately adopt strict policies to prevent convicted pedophiles from participating in the Olympics.”

When asked about playing with Van de Velde, Dutch teammate Matthew Immers stated, “I don’t want to say much about it. What was in the past is in the past. I can’t change his past. I’m here to play with him. We want to have good results here. There are a lot of people who support us. We do it for them. He has a lot of pressure on his shoulders. I’m OK with that. Mentally we are strong, I am strong, we will get through this together."

Immers added that he was “disappointed with the fans” for booing his playing partner.

"It is what it is. I was disappointed with the fans. We talked on the field and asked ourselves: what do we need from each other? It was worse than in the first game. We need each other on the field, the hugs, the cheering,” said Immers.

The Olympics never fails to yield controversy.

Corrupt Florida State Senator Lauren Book siphoned millions into her own pockets during her tenure as state senator

Lauren Book's time as a state senator in the state of Florida is finally up. Much like Trump telling us he's going to be a dictator on day one if he's reelected in November 2024, Lauren Book warned us she was not going to abstain from voting in favor of using state funds to fund her private charity or enrich her drunk-driving lobbyist father's clients, and she kept her word. Despite running (mostly unopposed) as a Democrat, Lauren Book received millions from Republican donors, funneled through her charity, of course. (As noted in the Florida Bulldog article, Lauren's kids receive just under $20 million from 2011-2021). And of course, Lauren Book's self-titled charity raken in even more taxpayer dollars through their hideous license plate program.


1.39—Disclosure of conflict of interest and prohibition on voting thereon

(1) Abstention on matters of special private gain or loss.—A Senator may not vote on any matter that the Senator knows would inure to the special private gain or loss of the Senator. The Senator must disclose the nature of the interest in the matter from which the Senator is required to abstain.

 Of course, Floridiots turned a blind eye to all this. Despite having no experience doing more than wiping her own ass without her DUI daddy, Ronald Lee Book, Dems and Repubs alike fell all over themselves trying to curry favor with Bimbo Book. 

So just how much has Lauren Book cost Florida taxpayers? According to a recent news article by the Florida Phoenix, Florida legislators have been paid $29,697 a year, or $237,576 for the 8 years she was state senator. Not bad for 60 days of part-time work, huh? But Lauren' Book's salary from her "Lauren's Kids" charity for 2022, the most recent year for the Lauren's Kids Form 990s, was $235,000. Lauren Book collected just over $1.4 million from her charity just from the time she was in office

2022 - $235,000
2021 - $235,962
2020 - $217,500
2019 - $215,000
2018 - $185,000
2017 - $159,394
(Lauren's Kids 2023 tax forms have not be posted publicly yet)


This, of course, isn't even counting the money she's colected through fundraising efforts, kickback, under-the-table payments, and other ways she's colleected money in ways that aren't documentedo on tax forms. Campaign funds are supposed to go to direct campaign expenses, but she collected so much more money than other candidates despite running unopposed. Now that Lauren Book is termed-out of office, she's back to her money-walk across the state, where pols lined up to kiss her ass once more, plus the trips are paid through her charity, so nothig comes out of pocket for her. 

In 2021, Lauren Book posted a net worth of just under $4 million. Lauren the Launderer does her dirty deeds in plain sight, yet, as noted in one of the Florida Bulldog articles, people did NOT take notice. I presume it is because she has always played the victim. 

Her entire shtick is playing victim. She tried that when she fought to shut down this blog. But she failed. She will NEVER get that win back. There's a reason that bitch never sue me. You know why? Because what I post here, with the exception of opinions I have to state using terms like presume or speculate, is all from legitimate news sources. She can (presumably) pay dipshits to delete criticisms of her on Wikipedia, and she can file SLAPP suits to try to silence critics, then lie about them in court, but she cannot get Logue v. Book, 297 So. 3d 605 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2020), striken from the courts. That's an eternal scoreboard, so Lauren AND her DUI daddy can kiss my ass. 

Back to the task at hand, Lauren Book ripped off Florida taxpayers, but that's FloriDUH politics for you. I will continue to expose her as a fraud and huckster. Get a REAL job!

Arrogant Ron Book declares that he will end homelessness in Miami by next year

Ronald Lee Book, the drunken head of the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust, proclaims he will make Miami free from homelessness by next year. How does he plan on doing that? 

In 2022, Ronald Lee Book claimed there are only 972 homeless in the community! Florida Action Committee counted 488 transient people required to register in Miami-Dade. That 488 number is not a claim, that’s fact and taken from the FDLE data file. And, that number also excludes those who have absconded, are in custody or the five who are registered in Miami-Dade but also deceased. If the numbers were not being misreported, that would mean that more than half of the homeless are on the registry and subject to the County’s residency restriction.

I conducted a headcount just this morning (3/25/2024) of the 1963 Persons Forced to Register on the FDLE registry listed as residing in Miami-Dade County, which includes 491 listed as “transient.” That is 25% of Miami-Dade’s registrant population. That’s also consistent with what FAC counted in 2022.

Ron Book forced people on the sex offense registry into homelessness, and as head of the Homeless Trust, consistently helped keep them homeless. So just how is DUI Ron going to end homelessness among the populace he made homeless in the first place?

Advocate Predicts Miami Will End Homelessness Next Year

By Karen Curtis, Mar 21, 2024

(Miami, Florida) - Homeless Trust Chair Ron Book says Miami-Dade is close to ending homelessness.

He cites a new Florida law signed yesterday by Governor DeSantis and adaptive reuse of affordable housing for the downward trend.

Book predicts by next year Miami-Dade will be the first urban community in the United States to end homelessness.

He says there are projects in the offing to create more affordable housing which is the key to eliminating the unsheltered.

He adds that the thousand chronic homeless people left on the streets of Miami-Dade who are "shelter resistant" will need affordable housing.

Book says a critical part of Florida's new homeless law requires local governments to provide the homeless with security, sanitation and behavioral health services rather than encampment.

The new law goes into effect Oct 1st.

*****

And here is the bill that Ronald Lee Book fails to mention by name:

DeSantis signs ban on homeless people camping in Florida public spaces

BY LAUREN IRWIN - 03/21/24 11:52 AM ET

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a bill Wednesday that bans homeless people from camping in the state’s public spaces.

“Florida will not allow homeless encampments to intrude on its citizens or undermine their quality of life like we see in states like New York and California,” DeSantis said in a statement. “The legislation I signed today upholds our commitment to law and order while also ensuring homeless individuals have the resources they need to get back on their feet.”

The bill, H.B. 1365, will take effect Oct. 1. Under the legislation, homeless people are prohibited from camping on city streets, sidewalks and in parks. The shelters they will instead be placed in will be monitored by law enforcement agencies, DeSantis’s release said.

It requires municipalities to create designated spaces for camping and sleeping if homeless shelters are full. The spaces must have access to “clean and operable restrooms and running water.”

The sites also must have security present at all times and access to behavioral health services, including substance abuse and mental health resources, according to the legislation. Drug and alcohol use on the properties will not be tolerated, and officials will “enforce this prohibition.”

In a post online, DeSantis released facts about the state’s homeless population. It said that even though Florida is the third most populous state in the country, it does not have a city on the top 10 of homeless populations. The release also said while Florida’s total population “has increased, the state has experienced one of the largest decreases in the homelessness rate” since 2019.

Democrat lawmakers said the bill was proposed despite there being no studies or data to support it, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

“The lawlessness seen in ‘progressive’ cities–sprawling encampments, open-air drug markets, and homeless people endangering themselves and others–is entirely preventable,” DeSantis posted on X, formerly Twitter. “We won’t stand for it in Florida, and our action today is one of many steps we’re taking to keep our cities clean and safe for everyone.”

Senator Lauren Book's latest failure: "Prostitution" database goes offline after legislature fails to fund it LOL

Another failure by FloriDUH's least valuable state senator!

I'd like to remind readers that Matt Gaetz was never featured on this database.

Florida human trafficking database with names and mugshots of p***s caught paying for sex VANISHES after lawmakers failed to agree to extend it

  • A Florida database with names and mugshots of p***s convicted of paying for sex suddenly disappeared
  • The Soliciting for Prostitution Public Database was set up in 2021 
  • Lawmakers didn't re-enact the database going into 2024 after reviewing its effectiveness at preventing sex trafficking networks.  

By MARTHA WILLIAMS FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

PUBLISHED: 10:36 EST, 10 January 2024 | UPDATED: 10:45 EST, 10 January 2024

Florida's database with names and mugshots of people convicted of paying for sex suddenly disappeared on January 1, 2024.

The Soliciting for Prostitution Public Database was launched at the start of 2021, and racked up a list of hundreds of offenders, according to ABC. 

The Database mysteriously vanished on January 1, 2024, along with a message saying that 'the section requiring the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to create and maintain the Solicitation for Prostitution Public Database stands repealed.'

Lawmakers had failed to re-enact the database going into 2024 - meaning that all of the convicted sex offenders and their mugshots disappeared without a trace. 

The state was set to study the database's effectiveness and whether it was preventing human trafficking networks going into the New Year.  

Senate Bill 540 and House Bill 851 set up the database, which included anyone convicted of 'soliciting, inducing, enticing or procuring another to commit prostitution, lewdness or assignation,' according to the Senate's bill - which was drafted by Democratic senator Lauren Book.

After being passed by the House and the Senate - it went to Governor Ron DeSantis's desk to be signed into action as part of his overall efforts to crack down on trafficking in Florida.  

It was revealed that out of the 262 prostitution arrests in 2021 - just one made it on the database. He was the only one listed in the entire state.

A person has to be arrested and convicted of soliciting for prostitution - paying another for sex - after January 1, 2021, in order to be included on the database. 

If a person does not commit a sexual offense for five years following the initial offense - they are automatically removed from the public database. 

'The idea was to shame people,' State Attorney Andrew Warren told ABC. 

For the entire year of 2021 - only one person was added to the database for soliciting an undercover deputy to perform a sex act for $25. 

The one name massively underrepresented the accurate numbers and scale of human trafficking that occurs in Florida. 

In reality, such soliciting is prevalent in the state's strip clubs, massage industry, adult entertainment, modeling studios and escort services says Dotti Groover-Skipper, a well-known, anti-human trafficking advocate in Tampa.

FloriDUH State Senator Lauren Book finds past green license plate for Registered Persons bills on Internet, tries to slip it into already bad bill

ADDENDUM: Bimbo Book withdrew her license plate amendments. Guess someone made her realize there are a lot of green car tags out there and the deaths of those killed for it would be her fault. 

Lauren Book's campaign of bloodlust and murder continues. Knowing Lauren Book has never conjured an original idea in her entire life, she stumbled upon the concept of placing green license plates on the vehicles of Registered Persons. 

There's a few problems with this. For one, people freely state they would target anyone with such a mark. Just see the video:

https://youtu.be/fItfl3wzWmY

One guy succinctly explains the only purpose for the green license plate bill. "I think its a good idea so they can have their windows smashed in."

Some of you may not care about Registered Persons, but consider the fact that most people are only going to remember green plate equals "sex offender." A vigilante sees a green plate, pulls out an AR-15, then kills an innocent person. 

There are numerous fully green or mostly green car tags across America. Vermont's tags are all green. Colorado's is mostly green. Many vanity tags can come in green. Here are some green or mostly green tags in FloriDUH--





Do you see why this is a problem? If you have one of these, you might get assaulted or murdered by a deranged vigilante. FloriDUH abounds with people with low IQs and easy access to assault rifles.

Florida sex offenders could be required to have special colored license plates

by Madison Adams  6:57 AM EDT, Thu April 27, 2023

Sex offenders in Florida could be forced to get bright green license plates.

Democratic Senator Lauren Book added this to Senate Bill 1252 on Tuesday night.

If passed, all vehicles owned, driven or leased by the offenders will be required to have a fluorescent green license plate. It would also make it illegal to disguise the plate.

Sen. Book also wants all registered sex offenders to have the word “sexual predator” printed on the front of their driver’s license in the color red.

For this to become law, the Florida House and Senate would have to pass it and then Governor Ron DeSantis would have to sign it into law.

The Florida Action Committee fears the bill would wrongly punish the offender’s family members who might use cars with special license plates.

“This green license tag that says to people, ‘you’re a monster when they’re not’. That’s extreme punishment. There will be a lawsuit,” Sarah Fiebig of the Florida Action Committee said. “There are unfortunately a lot of people out there that are vigilantes…and this would put a target on their back.”

Florida residents had different reactions to the bill.

Gene Scott said special license plates for sex offenders wouldn’t be a problem.

“They get what they deserve!” said Scott. “That is something people need to know, it’s easy that way. If you’re gonna do things that aren’t normal then you need to be associated with that.”

Lauren Book is in bed with DeathSantis again: Book helps pass death penalty without a unanimous jury

 Even if you support the idea of the death penalty, I would hope you at least recognize the need for, at the bare minimum, a unanimous jury verdict for the death penalty. FloriDUH is #1 in number of former death row inmates who have been found innocent. So, if we've had this many exonerations and declarations of innownce while the death penalty was limited to unanimous jury verdicts, imagine how much worse it will be when FloriDUH allows the death penalty with only a majority of eight jurors, especially now that the state passed a law to allow the death penalty for non-murder offenses. Once again, Lauren Book supported the Ron DeathSantis agenda and going against her own party. 


Of the 10 NO votes, 8 were by the Dems (one, Powell, did not vote that day but later
voted NO. Jason Pizzo was the other Senate Dem who voted YES.)



All that's missing here is GEO Group's blood money

Michael Dolce, Lauren Book Attorney prominently featured on lauren's Kids, allegedly amassed 1997 images of CP

In 2017, Michael Dolce was nominated for a Shiitake Award for writing a nasty Op-Ed claiming restorative justice encourages those on the registry to reoffend. He was also FL State Senator Lauren Book's attorney and is prominently featured on Lauren's Kids!

Dolce stated in that article, "As a victim of childhood sexual abuse myself and an attorney who now represents sexual assault survivors every day, I can say without doubt that restorative justice is not only horribly insufficient for handling sexual abuse but, in many cases, actually serves to leave an offender free to offend again...

According to prominent forensic psychology researchers Drs. Daryl Kroner and Adelle Forth, about half of convicted sex offenders exhibit psychopathology, meaning they are incapable of feeling remorse or empathizing with their victims. Sex offenders are often skilled at manipulating others into believing they are safe, which helps them gain their victims’ trust before attacking...

The reality is that I believe the majority of sex offenders are largely incapable of empathy. Two-thirds of male sex offenders will re-offend if they are not treated and restrained as criminals. The consensus among mental health and criminal justice professionals is that most sex criminals cannot be reformed; they can only be monitored, controlled and contained."

And now Michael Dolce sits accused of amassing a large collection of CP. So apparently, he was projecting his own isssues onto others and describing himself in that 2017 OpEd.

Sex-Crime Victims' Advocate, Attorney Accused of Amassing Lewd Child Photos

IZZY KAPNICK MARCH 31, 2023 7:55AM

On the evening of March 15, FBI agents smashed open the door to the home of Michael Dolce, a West Palm Beach lawyer who had advocated for and represented sexual abuse survivors for the past 20 years. Armed with three warrants, the agents did not have to search long to find what they were looking for.

"They discovered Dolce actively downloading child pornography using peer-2-peer software," the Department of Justice alleges.

A longtime Sunday school teacher who was once one of the state's most prominent advocates for reforming sexual abuse statutes, Dolce is behind bars awaiting his arraignment, scheduled for mid-April. He's facing a child porn possession charge that carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Dolce's onetime coworkers at Cohen Milstein in Palm Beach County are beside themselves trying to square how one of the firm's ace litigators in sexual abuse cases could wind up charged with a sexual offense. Dolce, who said he was a survivor of child molestation, built a reputation for handling high-stakes lawsuits and taking an uncompromising stance not only on sexual offenders but on those who enable them.

A partner at the firm, Dolce had been working at Cohen Milstein since 2015. He was fired two days after the raid on his home.

“The firm is stunned and saddened by these appalling allegations. Michael Dolce was terminated and is no longer affiliated with the firm. We are focused on attending to the needs of our clients and staff, and continuing to cooperate fully with the investigation," Cohen Milstein said in a statement.

At a March 30 hearing, Dolce agreed to submit to pretrial detention while reserving his right to later challenge it. His attorney did not respond to a request for comment from New Times.

"Commitment of a Survivor"

Dolce's early advocacy dated back to his work lobbying for HB 525, a bill passed in 2010 to remove the statute of limitations for criminal and civil cases arising from the sexual abuse of victims under the age of 16.

Between 2004 and 2010, Dolce repeatedly testified before Florida legislators in support of the measure, noting that abuse survivors are often too scared or ashamed to come forward right away. He said he was molested by a neighbor as a seven-year-old boy and that by the time he mustered the courage to speak out about it years later, he could not pursue a claim because the statute of limitations had passed.

His push for legislative reform faced opposition from the Catholic church and criminal defense lawyers' associations, among others, who argued that litigating decades-old molestation claims would be unfair.

"The law was protecting the predators. They were encouraged under the law to silence their victims, to threaten them," he said in an interview in the aftermath of the bill's passage. "It was an amazing day [when the bill passed]. I wept with joy. I was overwhelmed by relief."

Dolce received his law degree in 1994 from Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, Florida, according to his professional profile.

He claimed in a 2009 interview that he had been teaching Sunday school for 14 years. He also alluded to a nearly five-year stint working in the state legislature, saying it helped familiarize him with the lobbying and bill-writing process. 

According to his professional profile, he formed Dolce & Paruas in 2012 and worked there until 2015, when he jumped to Cohen Milstein, a large firm with a half-dozen offices spread across the country and more than 100 lawyers in its stable. By the time he joined the firm, he had already garnered a reputation for pursuing high-stakes litigation involving sex abuse claims.

During his tenure at Cohen Milstein, he reportedly secured large settlements for his clients including a $4.6 million deal in 2019 on behalf of an adult plaintiff, who alleged that his father had sexually abused him throughout his childhood.

Dolce worked out of an office in Palm Beach Gardens, in a stretch of property sandwiched between Singer Island and a beach-side golf course community near Juno Beach.

His professional profile said he "brings to his work the insight and commitment of a survivor, having himself been the victim of sexual abuse as a young boy at the hands of a sadistic predator."

“We fight a fight that can often lead to a disappointing end, but we still have to fight it because what happened to our clients cannot be allowed to continue,” Dolce said in a 2020 trade magazine interview.

The Bust

Dolce, 53, was alone in his West Palm Beach home when the FBI came knocking.

Agents had surveillance teams in place to monitor him prior to the raid.

"Entry into the residence occurred as a result of a forceful breach on the door when Dolce did not respond to commands by law enforcement to come to the door. Tactical surveillance and entry teams revealed that Dolce was alone in the residence, awake on a bed at the time FBI personnel first knocked," the FBI says.

On Dolce's Samsung laptop, folders were open containing multiple illicit images, the FBI says. One subfolder was titled "Sweet Pedo Stars" and contained images of a prepubescent girl between the age of 9 and 11, according to the affidavit.

As of March 24, the FBI says, agents had located at least 1,997 child porn images on the computer.

Court records show Dolce litigated no less than 15 civil cases in Florida in the last 7 years, most of which were related to claims of sexual abuse.

One of the last pieces of litigation he filed involved a client who alleged that she was coerced into a threesome while drunk and tripping on magic mushrooms at a house party in Miami. Two weeks ago, opposing counsel noticed Dolce's disappearance from the case but did not learn the reason for it until Dolce's arrest came to light March 29.

Advocacy In Action: Fighting For Justice

JANUARY 3, 2015 | POSTED BY: LAUREN | CATEGORY:BLOGFEATUREDNEWS & BLOG

There are so many abuse survivors and advocates around the world who have turned their darkest moments into their brightest light, shining the way for others. Children and adults alike are changing the world through their dedication to spreading awareness and promoting healing for survivors. Our “Advocacy in Action” series features people who have been inspired by Lauren’s Kids and impacted by Lauren’s advocacy, and have carried the spark she lit forward into their own lives and communities. We hope you enjoy reading their stories…

Advocacy in Action: Fighting For Justice 

Michael Dolce

In 2002, young Lauren Book sat in a Broward County courtroom and revealed the horrors she endured at the hands of her live-in nanny for the past six years of her childhood. She took heart knowing her lawyer, Michael Dolce, not only believed her, but understood her plight all too well.

When Michael was seven years old, he, too, was a victim of child sexual abuse at the hands of someone he knew and trusted: his neighbor, a man his family thought they could trust to watch over Michael.

After years of healing, Michael turned his pain into power. Because the statute of limitations on his abuse had run out after Michael disclosed in his late 20s, he became an advocate for victims of sexual violence. He continues to work to help other survivors bring their abusers to justice – something he was never able to do.

In 2010 during Lauren’s inaugural Walk in My Shoes walk across Florida, Michael stood up for survivors as he walked alongside Lauren and her lawyer/lobbyist father, Ron Book. Together they advocated for the passage of a law to effectively end the three-year statute of limitations on sex crimes committed against minors, allowing victims like himself to bring their abusers to justice years after the abuse occurred.

“There is no statute of limitations, no set time limit on the suffering of a victim of sexual abuse,” says Michael. “There should not be a time limit set on their ability to seek justice and get closure.”

Following the Walk, Lauren and Michael applauded lawmakers and state leaders as Gov. Charlie Christ signed HB 525 into law, officially eliminating the statute of limitations on sex crimes committed on victims between the ages of 12 and 16 in Florida.

Oh the irony! Lauren Book arrested for engaging in a pro-abortion protest after she had previously tried having a peaceful protester arrested

I don't pity Lauren Book. She filed multiple false complaints against Derek Logue after he peacefully protested her bad public policies in 2015, then she votes in favor of the Ron DeSantis anti-protest bill, and now she gets arrested for protesting. Of course, she wouldn't get the same treatment, it was essentially a catch and release, but seeing that C-U-N-T in handcuffs really made my night!

I want to see that glorious mugshot!

Nikki Fried, Lauren Book among nearly a dozen arrested while protesting abortion ban

Dozens of demonstrators gathered in front of Tallahassee City Hall Monday

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - Two of Florida’s top Democrats, Florida Senate minority leader Lauren Book and former Florida gubernatorial candidate Nikki Fried, were arrested with nearly a dozen protesters at Tallahassee City Hall Monday as they protested the Florida Senate passing a six-week abortion ban earlier that day.

The 11 arrests came after dozens of protesters gathered in the capital city in opposition to the contentious abortion ban. The bill is a more extreme version of Florida’s current 15-week ban, which is currently being challenged in the state Supreme Court.

Demonstrators shouted, “Shame! Shame!” as police handcuffed their peers in front of City Hall.

Just hours earlier, lawmakers debated the bill in the capital. But following a series of shouts interrupting proceedings, Senate President Kathleen Passidomo made all spectators leave the gallery. The vote was taken behind closed doors, passing 26-13.

City “unable to accommodate,” protesters arrested for “trespass after warning”

In a statement following the arrests of Book and Fried, who is also the chair of the Florida Democratic Party, the City of Tallahassee released a statement. The city said it had “been working with protest organizers for over a week” in preparation for Monday’s demonstration. On Friday, however, the discussions appeared to change direction.

The City had been working with protest organizers for over a week; however, due to the size of the crowd they were expecting and their desire for overnight camping, they were informed last Friday of the City’s inability to accommodate them.

Statement from the City of Tallahassee

Tallahassee Police told protesters they must leave the area in front of City Hall by 8 p.m. or be arrested. As demonstrators sat in a circle singing “Lean on Me” and holding hands, officers approached and began handcuffing the 11 individuals who remained in front of the government building.

The demonstrators were arrested for “trespass after warning,” according to the statement.

A sign outside City Hall states “park hours” are from sunrise to sunset. It is unclear when the sign was posted, but Ryan Ray, aide to City Commissioner Jeremy Matlow, said in a Tweet on Friday that the posting was new. WCTV has reached out to the city to determine when these rules were established and posted.

Fried and Book were released before midnight Monday. As of 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, the other 9 arrestees remained in prison.

It is unclear why the activists gathered at City Hall. However, a recent controversial change in procedure from the state requires groups to obtain sponsorship from a state agency ahead of gathering at the Florida Capital. City hall is across the street from the capitol.

Elected officials raise free speech concerns

Many lawmakers spoke out online against the arrests, criticizing the city and state.

Tallahassee City Commissioner Jack Porter questioned the city administration’s judgment following the events on Monday.

“Free speech and the right to peaceably assemble are fundamental American freedoms,” she wrote in a Tweet. “I cannot speak for the conscience of this Commission majority, but I certainly do not support arresting protesters for exercising their constitutional rights in opposing extreme anti-choice legislation.”

U.S. Representative Maxwell Frost responded to posts online about the protest, calling it “disgusting.” He asked the Tallahassee Police Department and Mayor John Dailey to release the activists.

" We need our Democratic municipal governments to stand with the people against the far-right DeSantis regime,” he wrote.

The city said in its press release that TPD worked to provide a “safe environment for demonstrators” on Monday.

“TPD encourages individuals exercising their First Amendment right of peaceful assembly to do so in accordance with the law. TPD supports non-disruptive demonstrations and works diligently to protect and uphold the rights of citizens every day,” the statement said.

But City Commissioner Jeremy Matlow disagreed.

“The Dailey/Goad administration continue to trample on the constitution. You can’t peacefully protest in the public square?” he wrote. “What is this— North Korea?”

Next steps for HB 300

The demonstration is one of a series of rallies against the abortion ban seen in the capital city and state since its proposal. Proponents of the Republican-sponsored legislation say it will save unborn children.

“For me it just boils back to, at the moment of conception, a life is created,” Senate Republican Colleen Burton said. “A life is created. An innocent life is created.”

Democrats say it will put women’s lives at risk.

“I trust women to make the right choices for themselves,” Senate Democrat Lori Berman said. “Decisions about abortion should be between a woman and her doctor and her trusted circle of confidants, not her legislators.”

The bill makes exceptions for rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. In those cases, a woman would be given up to 15 weeks to get an abortion. She would have to provide some kind of documentation, like a police report or medical record, to prove she falls into one of those categories.

The bill still needs to clear the House before it heads to Gov. DeSantis’s desk.

Correction: A previous version of this article said more than a dozen people were detained.

The BOOK of Death: Lauren Book's public policies center around the deaths of human beings

Am I the only one who thinks that FloriDUH State Senator Lauren Book is obsessed with death?

Just this year --

Lauren Book is pushing for an assisted suicide bill.

Lauren Book is pushing to expand the death penalty to cases not involving murder in direct violation of the US Constitution. 

And, Lauren Book is throwing Hail Mary passes in a desperate attempt to reinstate abortions in FloriDUH, including this petty passive-aggressive amendment:

"This act may be cited to as the “Electrical Activity that can be Manipulated to Sound like a Heartbeat through Ultrasound Protection at the Expense of Pregnant People’s Health and Wellbeing Act.”

Now, I understand that Bimbo Book is not a scientist, nor is she good at being truthful. So I'm not shocked she'd say something this stupid. After all, she conjured an gang abuse narrative out of thin air in last year's attempt to stop an abortion ban. 

Ron DeSantis is often called "DeathSantis" so Book needs a similar nickname because her agenda is murdering human beings. I can envision her sitting in a room watching a person die with a smile on her face. Book is a PSYCHOPATH and should be in a mental institution along with the rest of her mentally ill family.

Lauren Book gives an interview in support of her agenda.

Of all the things Lauren Book has done, it took THIS to get people to rebuke her

Floridiots don't seem to care that Lauren Books grooms and indoctrinates schools with her dubious abuse narratives, funneling millions in taxpayer bucks into her fake charity while sitting as head of the Senate Appropriations committee, forces people into homelessness, engages in stochastic terrorism, filed SLAPP Suits and false reports against critics, stabbed Parkland shooting victims in the back, false accused her political opponents of corruption, failing to attend state senate hearings, violating state senate rules, being completely inept at her job, needing her DUI daddy Ron Book to do her work for her, helped Ron DeSantis pass censorship laws criminalizing political criticism and free speech, her connection to the GEO group private prison industry, her donations to Republicans, her ill-advised prostitution registry, running a PAC out of her home which collected millions for uncontested elections, or her pro-murder stances. Nope. Floridiots don't mind.

But propose banning letting dogs hang their heads out windows in movin cars, and the online mobs get her to stand down. 

Even Florida Politics, a website that fellates Lauren Book as often as ESPN does to Tom Brady, called Lauren a "loser:"

https://floridapolitics.com/archives/590780-winner-and-loser-of-the-week-in-florida-politics-week-of-2-19-23/


Dishonorable mention: Lauren Book. Book had to walk back with a tucked tail after outcry over a provision she proposed banning drivers from letting a dog stick its head outside a car window.

The provision — part of a much larger animal safety bill filled with less controversial regulations — had many wanting to swat the bill with a bundled up newspaper, despite its aim at keeping those animals safe.

First, the Senate Democratic Leader put out a statement responding to some of the criticism, noting she was willing to be flexible on that rule while keeping the spirit of the full bill intact.

“Our family has three dogs — two of which are 150 pounds each and love sticking their heads out the window — so I welcome and appreciate all public comment on this issue, which is only one piece of a complete proposed overhaul of the state’s animal welfare system as brought to me by veterinarians and advocates,” Book said.

“We can easily amend this piece out of the bill while protecting the intent of the animal welfare community and vets who proposed the policy because of unintended injuries they’ve treated — and we will. In the meantime, let’s all invest in a good pair of “doggles” to keep our furry friends safe.”

Eventually, Book confirmed that provision would be dropped from the animal safety bill.

“The public has spoken,” said Claire VanSusteren, a Book spokeswoman. “She’s heard from folks who feel really strongly about this. This is not something that Floridians want.”

-- IF ONLY FLORIDIOTS CARED ABOUT THINGS THAT MATTERED!

I think Lauren Book is wearing Doggles on a regular basis. What else can you call those oversized atrocities she sports on her Basal Knob she calls a nose?

If you're a fan of Lauren Book you may as well be a Cleveland Browns fan. They win games a few times a year but they still suck and are perennial losers, just like Book. 

At any rate, lauren Book's biggest loss to date is still losing to Derek Logue three time in court, but I'd like to see Book get embarassed, even on an issue like this. Bimbo Book is unfit for the State Senate.


 PS: Book's bill proposes an "animal abuser registry," which has been overshadowed over letting mutts sticking their heads out windows. The cunt sure loves government blacklists!

FloriDUH State Senator Lauren Book is a potential DEATH-Santis ally in allowing death penalty cases

 I see Lauren Book is still expoloiting the Stoneman Douglas shooting victims for cheap publicity despite stabbing them in the back. It does not surprise me the woman who is okay with abortion also wants to make it easier to have people executed, so once again we see the inept Democrat "leader" siding with Ron De(ath)Santis. 

I guess now Bimbo Book needs a fitting death-related nickname. She LOVES destroying human life. 

https://floridapolitics.com/archives/583056-could-there-be-bipartisan-support-for-changes-to-floridas-death-penalty-laws/

Bimbo Book seen here illustrating how
much she REALLY cares about the
Parkland shooting victims
Could there be bipartisan support for changes to Florida’s death penalty laws?

Christine Jordan Sexton

January 23, 2023

'If ever there was a person who deserved the death penalty, Nikolas Cruz is that person.'

Gov. Ron DeSantis said he wants to scrap the requirement that a jury must unanimously recommend the death penalty before a judge can impose it. And the Governor’s suggestion could have bipartisan support.

Democratic leaders of the House and Senate took different positions on the issue, with House Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell standing firmly behind the current requirement that a jury verdict be unanimous. Senate Democratic Leader Lauren Book, meanwhile, called it a “tough issue.”

“When you are looking at the possibility of the ultimate punishment, putting someone to death, you have to make sure that you get it right. And Florida leads the nation in exonerations, meaning that we lead the nation in getting it wrong,” Driskell said.

According to the Death Policy Information Center Florida, has 30 exonerations, more than any other state. More than 56% of the exonerations involved Black defendants. Driskell said the requirement that a jury verdict be unanimous eliminates accountability.

Book, who is from Broward County, said intellectually she agreed with Driskell. But Book said it’s a tough issue in Broward County, where a jury last summer could not agree on recommending the death penalty for the Marjory Stoneman Douglas gunman. He wound up getting sentenced to life in prison. Lawyers argued the shooter, who killed 17 people and injured 17 others, was a fetal alcohol baby who was misdiagnosed.

Book called the jury’s decision in the sentencing phase a “gross miscarriage of justice.”

“If ever there was a person who deserved the death penalty, Nikolas Cruz is that person,” Book said. “I know that there will be robust debate and I know there are people who fall on different pieces and parts of the continuum within our caucus. But I do believe that we get it wrong. And it has to be right. I think that this is one that we are going to debate and it’s a tough one. It’s a tough one for Broward County.”

Florida was one of the last states that did not require a unanimous recommendation for the death penalty. In the wake of court decisions, legislators initially changed the law to require that 10 out of 12 jurors must recommend the death penalty. Lawmakers then changed the standard to require unanimity after a state Supreme Court ruling mandated unanimity.

But after DeSantis shifted the court rightward with new appointments, the court reversed its 2016 decision and said a unanimous recommendation was not needed, opening the door for another update.

DeSantis on Monday did not say what the unanimous vote should be replaced with, other than a “supermajority.”

“We can’t be in a situation where one person can just derail this,” DeSantis said at the Florida Sheriff Association’s winter meeting in St. Johns County.

FL State Senator Lauren Book's ineptitude on full display in the 2022 midterm elections

Profession Victim Barbie is in way over her head

Braindead FL State Senator Lauren Book benefitted from gerrymandering as she moved to a divided district to steal an election. That is literally the only thing she has accomplished this year. Meanwhile, Republicans easily flipped the state red, and in the state senate, only 12 of 40 state Senate seats are represented by Democrats and money from Republicans. I have already discussed how the Democratic party is dying under Book's ineptitude. And she votes with the DeSantis agenda more times than people realize. She doesn't bother showing up to important legislative meetings and when she does, she is too busy chatting with colleages to vote.

Is anyone suprised that the Democratic Party is dying now that Book is their weasel-faced leader? Bimbo Book has always enjoyed wasting taxpayer funds on driving around the state in a gaudy bus. And while Democrats struggled with fundraising, Book collected yet another fat check at the expense of the Floridiots who voted for her. (She is also still raking in GEO Group blood money.)

The cunt should've been voted out so she can go back to her only trick (aside from the one in her leaked videos), playing the professional victim

https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/elections/2022/11/10/midterms-desantis-rubio-republican/

About a week before what turned out to be an electoral catastrophe for Democrats in Florida, two state senators took a bus trip to save what was left of their party.

Jason Pizzo and Lauren Book were being realistic. They aimed to retain two vulnerable colleagues, while hoping to flip a Miami-area seat. They weren’t trying to turn the Republican-led Senate blue. Democrats could only hope to avoid complete irrelevance by winning these three Senate seats.

With no signs of a promised multi-million-dollar voter registration push by their party, they tried to beef up registration in targeted areas. Pizzo, of Miami, pledged at least $500,000 from his own campaign coffers to help other Democrats.

“If all of these races end up as a tie, we won, because we did so with one-quarter of the money, no state help, no local help, no national help,” Pizzo said last week from the bus as it passed through central Florida.

Yet Tuesday night was much worse for Florida Democrats than even some of the most optimistic Republicans had predicted. Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio vanquished their opponents by double digits. DeSantis-backed school board candidates won numerous races down the ballot. Republicans seized super-majorities in both legislative chambers. All three of the state Senate candidates that Pizzo and Book tried to help lost by at least six points...

“They pull resources from us, and it makes it very, very difficult for us to be successful,” said Book, D-Plantation, who’s in charge of electing Senate Democrats. She was talking about the Florida Democratic Party...

Democrats haven’t controlled the governor’s mansion or either chamber of the Legislature since 1999. But 2022 marked a new low, characterized by a startling mix of incompetence and national indifference. After this election, no Democrat will hold statewide office for the first time since the late 1800s.

“Turnout for Democrats was super low, and the Florida Democratic Party had no unifying message. They gave up on voter registration,” said state Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, one of the party’s most outspoken, progressive members who lost a close reelection race for his Orlando-area district. “The national Democratic Party abandoned our state as far as funding and resources.”

In February, the state party announced a $2.5 million effort to close its voter registration gap with Republicans, promising “six-figure registration numbers by October.”

Democrats delivered on the six-figure promise — in the wrong direction. The party lost about 114,000 registered voters from the end of 2021 to October. During that time, Republicans widened their registration edge from 43,000 to nearly 293,000 more by Election Day...

As Democrats pick up the pieces of a bitter round of defeats, it’s unclear where they go from here. The party has no standard bearer. Diaz, the party’s chairperson, has been facing calls to resign since late October.

Observers note that the Democrats’ problems may coalesce into a death spiral. Dramatic losses make future candidates less prone to run. Lesser-quality candidates make it harder to raise money. With less money, bigger election losses become more common. With the new electoral maps drawn by DeSantis’ office heavily favoring Republicans, the future only gets tougher for Democrats.

Ron Book donates $1500 to dubious Palm Beach County housing PAC

Ron Book "cares" so much about the homeless,
he looks like he hasn't slept under a roof in years.
Ron Book's name pops up in yet another dubious housing scheme. By the way, Ron Book doesn't have throat cancer, throat cancer has Ron Book.

Palm Beach County’s affordable housing scam | Randy Schultz

By Randy Schultz

South Florida Sun Sentinel

Oct 11, 2022 at 3:23 pm

A recent mailer in support of Palm Beach County’s affordable housing bond referendum looks very civic-minded.

Don’t believe it.

The mailer comes from Hometown Housing Trust. It features first responders and teachers and asks voters to support the $200 million bond program on the Nov. 8 ballot.

Hometown Housing Trust also has a website. It promises that the referendum will deliver 20,000 homes and apartments for “the people who keep us safe and provide so many of the things that make Palm Beach County a great place to live.”

The problem of affordable housing is real. But here’s the reality of Hometown Housing Trust.

Randy Schultz is a Sun Sentinel columnist. (Mike Slaughter / Sun Sentinel/South Florida Sun-Sentinel)

Behind this political action committee are developers and their representatives who helped to cause the affordable housing crisis by not building enough affordable housing in the first place. Now they want public subsidies for developers, overseen by county commissioners who get donations from those same developers and their representatives.

Hometown Housing Trust had raised nearly $400,000 through Sept. 29. One of the largest contributions — $25,000 — came from GL Homes.

The company’s headquarters actually is in Broward County. But given how many homes the company has built in Palm Beach County, “hometown” might not be a stretch.

Very little of that building, though, has been affordable housing. As The Palm Beach Post reported, GL lobbied the county to relax rules that required builders to include affordable units in their projects. In just two examples, GL avoided having to build roughly 700 such units, which have lower profit margins.

The company is now offering to build 277 moderately priced units near Boca Raton — but only if GL Homes can build 1,000 high-end homes where rules now don’t allow them. The trade could mean an extra $750 million for the company.

Under Florida law, the seven commissioners and top administrators can’t campaign for the afordable housing referendum. So the Economic Council of Palm Beach County and CEO Michele Jacobs are taking the lead. Which brings us to Hometown Housing Trust.

A GL vice president serves on the council’s board. So does an executive from Minto Communities, which donated $10,000. So does an executive from Florida Crystals, which donated $50,000. In addition to producing sugar, Florida Crystals has a real estate operation.

Indeed, almost all of Hometown Housing Trust’s donations have come from developers or their representatives. One of the many real estate lawyers who donated serves on the council’s executive committee. He’s a registered lobbyist for GL Homes.

Another lawyer/contributor works for the firm whose address is that of Hometown Housing Trust. Several other contributors are council board members.

The group got $25,000 from The Richman Group, which builds multi-family housing. Another $25,000 came from Miami-based Pinnacle Communities, also a multi-family builder.

Just for good measure, Hometown Housing Trust got $1,500 from Ron Book. He’s the very well-connected Tallahassee lobbyist whose daughter is a state senator. From Broward County.

The Palm Beach Post also reported that the economic council helped to craft the referendum at the request of home builders, who resisted options that could cost them. The proposal thus would shift responsibility for solving the problem onto the public and away from the industry that created it.

Hometown Housing Trust’s mailer says the referendum is all about helping regular folks. The money says otherwise.

Florida State Senator Lauren Book voted YES on the Ron DeSantis Budget that included $12 million to send Texas migrants to Massachusetts

FloriDUH State Senator Lauren Book is blasting Ron DeSantis for using $12 million of FloriDUH's taxpayer funds to fly migrants from Texas to FloriDUH to Massachusetts in the much-maligned publicity stunt. 

But Book voted FOR the bill that gave DeSantis the $12 million in the first place, just as I previously reported Book voted FOR the DeSantis anti-protest bill. 

I guess to be fair to Bimbo Book, she was too busy counting the $2 million that her scam... er, her "charity" got in the budget to give a shit where the rest of the money went:

Safer, Smarter Schools (HB 3955) (Senate Form 2097).......   $2,000,000 (For those not in the know, Lauren Book's charity "Lauren's Kids" is the sole beneficiary of this state sponsored program.)

This is why Senate District 35 should've voted for Barbara Sharief. Book cannot be bothered to read a bill because she's too busy collecting a salary from a charity she runs and gives money to while sitting on the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Multimillionaire Ron Book took out $300k in PPP loans which were forgiven

This is a lot of beer money or enought to buy a new Lamborghini since he crashed his old one in a drunken stupor. Ronald "Stagger" Lee Book took out TWO roughly $150k loans a year apart, and never paid a dime on them:
