Panic at Lake Eola

BUD'S BLOG, TUESDAY, JULY 5TH 2022

We'll talk about the panic that was ignited during Monday night's 4th of July fireworks show in downtown Orlando, when people, already on edge from news of the mass shooting at a parade in Illinois, thought they heard gunshots and started running for safety as the fireworks continued being launched from a barge in the middle of Lake Eola. Police say there was no gunfire, but a dozen people were reportedly injured in the chaos, and some families wound up separated from their kids. What a sad and disturbing end to a night that should have been a joyous celebration of Independence Day, our freedoms, and all the blessings we enjoy living in America. What is happening to our country?!

We'll also talk about the out of season Christmas Grinch working at City Hall in Orlando! How else do you explain the statement below that showed up on social media in advance of Monday night's big 4th of July fireworks show at Lake Eola?! That statement led to an apology from City Hall, which I've also posted below, but let's talk about the mentality behind the original statement. What's responsible for such a lack of patriotic fervor for the greatest nation in the history of the world? Are our independence and freedoms no longer worth celebrating?! What's more, a new FOX News poll shows only 39% of us are proud of our country! Sure, we have problems and political divisions, but we've always had them. Are these neqative feelings toward our nation justified? Do you, perhaps, share those feelings? Join us Tuesday morning on the "50,000 Watt Front Porch" at 6:12 and again at 8:12 AM, so we can talk this over together!

CITY OF ORLANDO'S STATEMENT ON IT'S 4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS SHOW:

"A lot of people probably don't want to celebrate our nation right now, and we can't blame them. When there is so much division, hate and unrest, why on earth would you want to have a party celebrating any of it?

CITY OF ORLANDO'S APOLOGY FOR THE ABOVE STATEMENT:

"The city of Orlando sincerely regrets the negative impact our words have had on some in our community. We understand these words offended some of our residents, which was not our intent. We value the freedoms we have in this country and are thankful to the men and women who fought and continue to fight for those. We take pride in celebrating the 4th of July to express our gratitude to those men and women and honor the country we live in."

Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings is running for reelection, but he's taking some heat from his primary opponents for his refusal to debate them. I think he should debate, but I'll give you my take on why he won't and we'll see if you agree with me.

The 4th of July weekend has been marred by a mass shooting during a parade in Highland Park, Illinois, and by the fatal shooting of a young black man in Akron, Ohio. Newsradio WFLA National Correspondent Erin Real joins us live with the very latest on both these tragic stories.

Our "What's Buggin' The Budman" segment of the show puts the spotlight on two members of "Team Biden". First, we'll hear Brian Deese, one of the President's top economic advisers tell us we need to put up with sky high gasoline prices in the name of something he calls the "liberal world order"! I don't like the sound of it, do you?! We'll debate exactly what is he's talking about and we invite you to weigh in with your thoughts by calling "Good Morning Orlando" at 407 916 5400 or texting us to 23680.

Also, we'll hear Biden's Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas actually, and arrogantly, try to assure us that he's doing a good job when it comes to border security. ROFL !!!

Pro golfers playing in the new LIV golf league, lavishly funded by Saudi Arabia, were the focus of angry protests over the weekend when they played their first tournament in the U.S. out in Portland, Oregon. The protesters are angry that the golfers are okay taking millions of dollars from the Saudis, despite that country's horrible human rights abuses and key role in the 9/11 attacks on America. I'm no fan of Saudi Arabia, but I think it's hypocritical to rip the golfers when no one seems to have a problem with the NBA doing billions of dollars in business with Communist China, which may be the global champion when it comes to human rights abuses! And, haven't we all grown quite comfortable lining the pockets of the ChiComs by buying an endless stream of merchandise we know is "Made In China? Unless you're going to rail against doing business with the likes of Communist China, I say shut up about the golfers making money from the Saudis. What say you?
