Who would have thought that a desire to bring Christmas closer and spread a little of holiday spirit could end up being a punishable offense?
😬 Florida resident Michael Moffa received a $1,000 fine notification from his homeowner's association for decorating his house for Christmas too early.
According to the letter, the man violated his HOA agreement by installing Christmas lights, which is not allowed until Thanksgiving Day - that is the last Thursday in November.
Moffa even hired a company, as he couldn’t climb up on the roof of his house in Westchase, but all was in vain. Now, every day that goes by adds another $100 fine, unless the lights are removed.

❓ Republican Senator Tom Cotton claimed on Friday that President Biden should apologize for suggesting that 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse is a “white supremacist.”

Last October, then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden wrote that then-president Donald Trump failed to “disavow white supremacists,” referring to Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot and killed two people during a BLM protest last year.

😮 👮♀️ More than half of New York Police Department cops wish they had never joined the force in the first place given the current relations between the force and the public, The New York Post reported, citing an internal department study of 6,000 uniformed officers.
According to the leaked survey, 56% of officers say they would not put on the badge if they had to do it all over again, and they also believe the public disrespects and distrusts them (46% agree, 42% disagree).
Moreover, 80% of the officers, detectives, sergeants, lieutenants, and captains polled said they are afraid of criminal liability, being sued, or being wrongfully reprimanded if they go after criminals aggressively.
Officers complain their daily work has been disrupted by Black Lives Matter riots, the Defund the Police movement, bail-reform laws that keep violent offenders out of jail, and legislative measures that put the burden of liability on officers while emboldening criminals.
