The doctor, her family, friends and patients were blanketing district 5 with her campaign signs.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems Ms. Dougher decided to undo what Dr. Burke had done.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that Ms. Dougher married a county deputy a year ago.&nbsp;&nbsp;Apparently, marriage to a law enforcement officer does not guarantee that someone will follow the law. Because on Monday, May 18, Ms. D approached another county deputy and told him she wanted to hire his son to steal Burke\u2019s signs. The deputy emphatically said \u201cno.\u201d&nbsp;Unfortunately for Dougher, the deputy has a teenage daughter who was privy to the conversation. Quicker than you can say 411, the teenage girl hotline began texting, TikToking, tweeting, telephoning and hash tagging across the county straight to\u2026Dr. Burke\u2019s teenage daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. D appeared to have found a willing DO-er because the next day Burke\u2019s small signs started to disappear, then later so did her bigger signs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stealing small campaign signs is a misdemeanor. Stealing big ones is a felony.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The signs stealing continued and Dr. Burke finally reported it to the Clay County Sheriff\u2019s Office (CCSO).&nbsp;&nbsp;An investigation was initiated and, sure enough, it was quickly proven that Ms. Dougher had put out a bounty on Burke\u2019s signs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a caveat, however. Leslie Dougher and her husband\u2019s boss, Sheriff Loverboy had been campaigning together. Because of the close ties to the sheriff and the involvement of two deputies, the case should have been routed to the FDLE.&nbsp;&nbsp;The fact that the sheriff had his pregnant girlfriend arrested for stalking to please his gun-toting wife who was hopping mad, might indicate that he may not follow the constraints of the law.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the same time period, Ms. Dougher\u2019s campaign started spoofing.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Spoofing is a technique where a caller deliberately falsifies their caller ID to make it appear it is coming from another source.&nbsp;&nbsp;A male caller made calls to local Republicans who contribute regularly to the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF).&nbsp;&nbsp;Spoofing the RPOF\u2019s number, the caller said he was calling from and on behalf of the&nbsp;&nbsp;RPOF. He gave a little spiel about the wonderful Ms. Dougher and solicited support and donations for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the RPOF does not typically intervene in local races, especially when both candidates are Republicans, savvy donors contacted the RPOF and asked about the call.&nbsp;&nbsp;The RPOF said they definitely had no part in the calls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some smart folks took screen shots of the phone number.&nbsp;&nbsp;I traced the number back to a young man who was campaigning for the DO-er.&nbsp;&nbsp;He said \u201cyes\u201d he had been soliciting funds and support for her from Republican contributors, but he hung up when I asked about the spoofing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spoofing carries a $10,000 per call fine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I brought the spoofing issue to the attention of Commissioner Gayward Hendry, who was initially supporting Ms. Dougher.&nbsp;&nbsp;He casually said \u201cyes\u201d Ms. Dougher told him someone in her campaign was \u201cprobably\u201d making the spoofing calls.&nbsp;However, when I talked with Ms. D, she said she knew nothing about the spoofing calls nor the sign stealing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s campaign season, you know.\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advice from us voters for your next run for office, Ms. Dougher: The internet never forgets. Especially during the campaign season, you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cOur Kids Need Positive Leadership\u201d<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p><cite>Aaron Knowles for<strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>Clay County Schoolboard<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, kids do!&nbsp;&nbsp;But given the fact that from 1992 through 2019, Mr. Knowles\u2019 life experiences look more like he should be a candidate for incarceration rather than for school board, he may not be the one to provide that leadership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Knowles was arrested for Domestic Violence in Brevard County, FL.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was also arrested for Driving Under the Influence with property damage in Manatee County, FL.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was again arrested for DUI in Douglas County, Colorado&nbsp;&nbsp;and placed on probation with his driver\u2019s license suspended. Knowles obviously failed to grasp the concept that if one\u2019s license is suspended in one state, it is suspended in all states.&nbsp;&nbsp;While driving in Clay County, he was arrested for a third DUI and additionally charged with driving with a suspended license.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The candidate also has a long history of spending other people\u2019s money, which is probably why he thought he would fit right in with the Clay County School Board.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Knowles was legally penalized for defaulting on a home mortgage, a credit card, and a car.&nbsp;&nbsp;He also had four traffic citations. As of Nov. 18, 2019, Knowles still owed the county for unpaid fees, services charges, fines, court costs, and liens for the payment of attorney\u2019s fee and costs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advice from us voters for your next run for office, Mr. Knowles: Don\u2019t do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>James St. George is fighting Back&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>for<strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>Congress in FL 3rd&nbsp;District<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;I\u2019m not exactly sure what to call this candidate.&nbsp;&nbsp;James George, M.D. inserted a Biblical reference into his name to become Dr. James St. George. The reason he gave for the name change was because he didn\u2019t like having two first names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. St. George does have plenty of practice in fighting.&nbsp;&nbsp;That fighting started long before he decided to run for congress though\u2026with his ex-wives, mistresses, family, extended family, patients, lending institutions and his cat.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was arrested in Brevard County for Domestic Violence.&nbsp;&nbsp;According to court records, the doctor practiced medicine in several locations in Florida, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Records obtained show he was sued for malpractice in two locations in Florida and in Pennsylvania.&nbsp;&nbsp;One charge was for nearly operated on the wrong kidney of a patient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacob Engels, a journalist from the Central Florida Post, wrote an article referencing court documents from legal battles regarding Dr. St. George.&nbsp;&nbsp;The documents described how St. George held his ex-wife hostage for hours while wielding a knife, ransacking the home and spitting all over the furniture and his wife. Engels also wrote that the documents showed the doctor threatened to \u201cput a bullet\u201d between the eyes of his father and sister during one of his manic episodes. His sister had a restraining order against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have court documents that accused Dr. St. George of writing prescriptions for himself in his wife\u2019s name. Some were for anti-depressants and others were for a condition that I\u2019m pretty sure HIPA would not want me to mention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During court proceedings, one of his exes accused him of hurling the family cat across the room on wooden floors and into walls and furniture. Dr. St. George qualified his ex\u2019s statement saying the cat did not always hit anything, only sometimes.&nbsp;&nbsp;The doctor named the cat Beazor, a medical name, he said, for a hairball.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hence, he called his activity \u201cBeazor Bowling.\u201d He said his pastime was just a \u201cjoke.\u201d I have not interviewed Beazor, but I\u2019m betting he was not amused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. St. George\u2019s run for Congress is a conundrum.&nbsp;&nbsp;He owns a very expensive home in Ponte Vedra, FL, and has a homestead exemption on it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He has now limited his doctoring to smaller body parts which may be more identifiable, like veins. He has ownership in a vein clinic in Ponte Vedra.&nbsp;&nbsp;Yet, the doctor did not chose to run for Congress in his home district, but in our county where he has a satellite office. He set up a residence in Clay County in Dec. 2019. It appears he did not have the utilities turned on until Feb. 2020, just in time to register to run for Congress in Clay County. A point to ponder: The doctor\u2019s medical income appears to be way more in a month than he would receive in a year from a congressional salary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advice from us voters for your next run for office, Dr. St. George: 1.) Step. Away. From.The. Kidneys. 2.) Consider seeking office where you actually live. 3.) Donate heavily to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals because CAT PEOPLE NEVER FORGET!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t remember who posed the question, but I read many years ago that someone asked Barry Goldwater how so many nut-Jobs ended up representing us in Washington.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHometown voters.\u201d Goldwater answered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We already have plenty of jokes in public office with even more who want to be\u2026and nobody\u2019s laughing. So, check out the candidates to the best of your abilities. Eeny-meeny-miny-moe is tricky. It\u2019s better to abstain from voting in a race than to add to our misery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you\u2019re wondering, Beazor\u2019s story had a happy ending. To keep him safe, his human mom gave him up for adoption. He\u2019s been living happily every after.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Susan Clark Armstrong \u2013\u2013 Henry Cates said, \u201cThe problem with political jokes is they get elected.\u201d That happens too often in our county and in lots of others.&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result, we are then presented with the improbable and near impossible task of removing an incumbent joke from the taxpayers\u2019 tit\u2026Sheriff \u201cLoverboy\u201d Daniels comes to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
