CEO Paid $50M as Homeowners Face Soaring Insurance Rates
Insurance CEO Paid $50M while Florida Homeowners Face Soaring Home Owners Insurance Rates
Why aren’t Florida Republicans and Governor Ron DeSantis doing something about this? Seems like another example of how Republicans only care about the RICH!
Tampa-based insurance CEO paid $50M in earnings as homeowners face soaring rates
Many policyholders and consumer advocates have become outraged after learning just how much the CEO of one of the state’s fast-growing insurance companies is earning each year.
Per the above article: Homeowners across Florida have been grappling with soaring insurance premiums as some are hit with increases of 20% or more, according to state data and consumer complaints.
That’s why many policyholders and consumer advocates have become outraged after learning just how much the CEO of one of the state’s fast-growing insurance companies is earning each year.
Study: Financial stress taking a toll on young Tampa residents
According to government filings obtained by NBC affiliate WBBH, Bruce Lucas, the CEO of Tampa-based Slide Insurance, paid himself more than $21 million in 2024. His wife, who serves as the company’s chief operating officer, received $16.5 million.
Combined, the couple took home more than $50 million in salary, stocks and bonuses, according to the 132-page filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
“It’s shocking they’re making that kind of money and people can’t even pay their bills, rent, food,” Cape Coral resident Bob Esposito told WBBH.
Slide Insurance launched just three years ago and now has over 340,000 policies — the vast majority of which were acquired from Citizens Property Insurance. The company’s profits nearly doubled to $201 million in 2024.
Consumer advocates like Doug Quinn with the American Policy Holder Association have called the situation out of control, adding that it is emblematic of a broader problem in Florida’s insurance market.
“We keep hearing these stories about how these ‘poor struggling insurance companies’ are being taken advantage of, and that’s why they need to keep raising rates,” he told WBBH. “Meanwhile, the executives are profiting handsomely.”
Slide’s CEO makes three times the amount of some other Florida-based insurers, rivaling even major national companies. Lucas’ 2024 earnings were only slightly less than those of the CEO of State Farm, who earned $24 million in the same period.
“The greed! The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer,” said Mary Bousquet, another Cape Coral resident. “It’s just so unbalanced. The whole thing is out of control — it has to be fixed somehow.”
Trump Falls on Stairs, Crickets from Republicans
Trump slipped and fell on the stairs of Air Force One, but not a word from Republicans and Right Wing Media. When Joe Biden stumbled getting on Air Force One, Republicans and Right Wing Media couldn’t stop ridiculing Biden about how frail & unfit they thought he was and how he should be removed from office. Just another example of what DESPICABLE HYPOCRITES Right Wingers are.

Trump Causing Riots in L. A. to Justify Martial Law
It appears the Trump Fascist Regine sent ICE to Los Angeles to arrest migrants, knowing that it would cause protests, so he could respond by declaring Martial Law and deploy the National Guard against protesters.
Trump HATES California because it’s a BLUE State which didn’t vote for him so he’s been looking for an excuse to deploy the National Guard against protesters who refuse to kiss his ass.

‘Folks need to wake up’: Miles Taylor reacts to Trump’s National Guard deployment in L.A.
Trump is like the 6 yr/old Spoiled Brat Monster from the Twilight Zone episode “It’s a Good Life”. If anyone says or does anything he doesn’t like, or they refuse to kiss his ass, he wants them DESTROYED.
In the above video, Dr. John Gartner states; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump. He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies.”
Ted Cruz calls Trump a “Pathological Liar who doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies” and claims Trump “is a narcissist at a level this country’s never seen”.
Even ex-Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan referred to Trump as an ‘Authoritarian Narcissist’. No normal person would lie with impunity like Trump has (over 30,000 times while President), refuse to admit he lost the election, claim he won after he lost, then instigate a coup and insurrection to overturn the election after he lost.
Trump has proven to be ‘deranged’ by his unhinged, outrageous behavior and pathological lying as detailed in the above video by George Conway
Psychiatrist Warns Trump Has Become More ‘Psychotic’
Renowned Psychologist : Like Hitler, Trump suffers from Sadism, Malignant Narcissism & Paranoia
Per the above article: “Renowned Psychologist Dr. John Gartner, who specializes in borderline personality disorder, biopolar disorder, and depression stated; Trump has the most dangerous form of mental illness that you can find in a leader… Malignant Narcissism”.
“Gartner stated that Malignant narcissism is a combination of 4 traits, which includes narcissism, paranoia, antisocial personality disorder (the psychology of a criminal and someone who routinely lies) and sadism”.
“The sadist aspects of Trump’s apparent mental illness, according is Gartner, means that “he is driven and gets intense pleasure from harming, humiliating, and degrading other people.”
“He has actually gotten intense pleasure from [other people’s] pain. He is reveling in the chaos and the destruction he is causing,” Gartner explained. “The more he feels threatened by the Mueller investigation, the more he needs to experience the exaltation of feeling drunk with power, through his ability to harm and humiliate and degrade other people.”
“While Gartner stopped short of saying that Trump is the next incarnation of Hitler, he did emphasize the importance of looking back at history as a means to try and prevent the catastrophes of the past from happening yet again”.
In speaking of Trump, Gartner did not imply that Trump would follow in the path of Hitler, but he did underscore his belief that “these are the kind of people who really can commit genocide,” when comparing the two men.
“I’m not saying he’s Hitler. I’m saying he has the same psychology. He’s of the same type, cut from the same cloth…. He is someone, who if given the chance, would enact that same kind of destructive agenda.”
Gartner accentuated his observations that Trump is demonizing immigrants similarly to how Hitler demonized the Jews”.
Epidemic of Stupidity in the United States by Right Wingers
People supporting Trump and voting for Republicans proves there’s a Epidemic of Stupidity in the United States

MAGA Is A Fascist Death Cult
Republicans Are Stupid (but they don’t know it)
Science says Conservatives are Dumb
Illegitimate President George W. Bush Stupidity Compilation! They don’t get much dumber than this dip-shit who wasn’t voted for or elected by the Majority. Another glaring example of what a screwed-up mess our government is that the Republican idiot who got the least votes, was made the “winner” screwing over the majority.

Republicans are so stupid that when asked if Hillary Clinton should be impeached, they say YES even though she can’t be impeached because she isn’t the President.
They also said she should be she should be impeached for LYING, yet these same idiots support Trump who has lied over 12,000 times since becoming president.
Republicans are so stupid that in the above video, they blame Obama for 9/11 when he wasn’t even president at the time.
10 Things I Hate About Republicans
Republicans say the craziest, stupid things (which Democrats don’t)
Louie Gohmert Stupidity Compilation
In my opinion Louie Gohmert looks, acts and sounds like a dumb-ass HICK, who has no business holding ANY position in government. Most of the things he says is utter nonsense.
He’s a perfect example of the type of dumb asses who votes for Republicans. These “Goober” Repubs must identify with Gohmert and think… “that’s my kinda guy!”.
Gohmert appears to be too stupid to know how dumb he comes across. If I were him, I’d avoid going out in public.
Urbandictionary.com says this about Gohmert; “Any stupid, foolish or obtuse public official. Origin: Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), one of the stupidest individuals ever to set foot in the U.S. Capitol an elected representative”.
No way Democrats would elect someone who looks & acts so stupid.
Republican Representative Paul Broun (who was on the science committee), is a classic example of how Republicans Deny Scientific facts and in doing so are unfit to hold any public office. He is reported to have said…
“All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the big bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell. “It’s lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior.”
“You see, there are a lot of scientific data that I’ve found out as a scientist that actually show that this is really a young Earth. I don’t believe that the earth’s but about 9,000 years old. I believe it was created in six days as we know them. That’s what the Bible says.”
The stupidest and most outrageous statements always seems to come from people who are Republican Right Wingers
In the above video, some dumb old Republican woman says “Obama should be executed as an enemy combatant”. If someone said that about Trump, Repubs head would explode and they would demand the person who made the statement be arrested.
After all the ROTTEN things repubs said about Obama, they’ve got a lot of nerve complaining about anything people say about Trump.
Research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario.
Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice.
These dumb-ass Trump supporters are so stupid, they believe it was “Communist Democrats” who were responsible for rioting at the United States capital on January 6, 2021. These “people” are BRAINWASHED ZOMBIES.
After listening closely to Trump you STILL support him, then you are wishing for a dictator and tyrant to run this country.

“Jared Kushner Once Told Reporter That Trump Thinks Republicans Are Stupid” – The Ring Of Fire
“According to a recent GQ article, Jared Kushner once told a reporter who was struggling to come up with a way to cover Donald Trump, that he doesn’t always believe the things he says but he says them because he knows that Republicans are “stupid.” This explains a lot about Donald’s rise to power, as well as how he feels about the people who put him in power”.

Neuroscientist Reveals Why Trump Supporters Fall For His Lies
An Analysis of Trump Supporters Has Identified 5 Key Traits
The president’s backers share some consistent and troubling characteristics.
Per the above article, here’s 5 traits found in most Trump Supporters;
1. Authoritarian Personality Syndrome
Authoritarianism refers to the advocacy or enforcement of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom, and is commonly associated with a lack of concern for the opinions or needs of others.Although authoritarian personality is found among liberals, it is more common among the right-wing around the world. President Trump’s speeches, which are laced with absolutist terms like “losers” and “complete disasters,” are naturally appealing to those with the syndrome.
2. Social dominance orientation
Social dominance orientation (SDO)—which is distinct but related to authoritarian personality syndrome—refers to people who have a preference for the societal hierarchy of groups, specifically with a structure in which the high-status groups have dominance over the low-status ones.
3. Prejudice
There’s no denying that Trump routinely appeals to bigoted supporters when he calls Muslims “dangerous” and Mexican immigrants “rapists” and “murderers,” often in a blanketed fashion. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a new study has shown that support for Trump is correlated with a standard scale of modern racism.
4. Intergroup contact
There is growing evidence that Trump’s white supporters have experienced significantly less contact with minorities than other Americans. For example, a 2016 study found that “…the racial and ethnic isolation of Whites at the zip-code level is one of the strongest predictors of Trump support.”
5. Relative deprivation
Relative deprivation refers to the experience of being deprived of something to which one believes they are entitled. It is the discontent felt when one compares their position in life to others who they feel are equal or inferior but have unfairly had more success than them.
Searing George Conway Column Shows Trump’s Supporters What They Really Believe In
The conservative attorney laid out Trump’s mountain of lies and misdeeds in a piece titled “I (Still) Believe the President, and in the President.”
Per the above article; The outspoken Trump critic and husband of White House presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway laid out Trump’s lies, racist attacks, blunders and acts of corruption. “I believe it’s normal for the president to say ‘Yo Semites’ and ‘Yo Seminites,’ ‘Thigh Land,’ ‘Minne-a-napolis,’ ‘toe-tally-taria-tism,’ ‘Thomas Jeffers’ and ‘Ulyss-eus S. Grant.’ I believe it’s Biden who’s cognitively impaired,” Conway wrote.
“I believed the president in January and February when he said covid-19 was ‘totally under control,’ that it was Democrats’ ‘new hoax,’ and that he was ‘not at all’ worried about a pandemic. I believed him in March when he said he ‘felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic,’” Conway continued.
“I believe it isn’t racist to call the coronavirus ‘kung flu’ or ‘the China Virus.’ It isn’t racially divisive to say Black Lives Matter is a ‘symbol of hate,’ to celebrate Confederate generals as part of our ‘Great American Heritage,’ or to share video of someone shouting ‘white power,’ which, like displaying the Confederate flag, is ‘freedom of speech.’”
Conway’s list goes on, referencing Trump’s incendiary comments during protests over the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis; his attempts to frame a 75-year-old Buffalo, New York, protester injured by police as an anti-fascist operative; his complaints about late civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis; his well wishes for Ghislaine Maxwell, the socialite accused of aiding Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of underage girls; his attempts distract from the pandemic with the baseless “Obamagate” conspiracy theory; his untrue attacks against the legitimacy of mail-in voting; and more.
He concluded with a punch: “I believe the president won the popular vote in 2016 “if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” I believe he shouldn’t accept the election results if he loses in November.”

Kilmar Garcias Criminal Charges ‘Extremely Suspicious’
Attorney for Kilmar Abrego Garcia blasts ‘extremely suspicious’ timing of new charges
Kilmar Garcias Criminal charges are very suspicious leading some to think it may be a SMEAR Tactic to discredit him and revenge for the bad press his being deported by mistake has caused the Trump White House
The attorney for Kilmar Abrego Garcia — the Maryland father who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration earlier this year — joins The Weekend to discuss the Trump administration’s potential motives behind their new charges
Ábrego García Indictment: Legitimate Prosecution OR Trumped-Up Charges?
Attorney General Pam Bondi and her Department of Justice lawyers said repeatedly that it was impossible to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return to the United States.
Then, lo and behold, they arranged for Abrego Garcia’s return to the US and waived around a two-count criminal indictment claiming that he has been involved in a criminal conspiracy from 2016 through 2025. In other words, if true, the first Trump DOJ let Garcia run a dangerous criminal conspiracy inside the United States with impunity during the entirety of Trump’s first term.
This video does a deep dive into the indictment and exposes several reasons why the indictment looks suspect, and feels more like a Pam Bondi face saving vehicle and less like a righteous prosecution.

This condescension and cruelty have become the hallmark of Republicans, and Democrats need to show BOTH of Ernst’s videos in every ad they run starting run now to destroy Republicans in next year’s midterms.
My Pillow Mike Lindell Defamation Trial
During an appearance on Steve Bannon’s podcast this past weekend, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said he’s thinking about bringing one of his MyPillows to the courtroom to give to the lawyer who called his products “lumpy” during a heated exchange in a deposition. It wasn’t immediately clear why Lindell would want to do this, unless it was either for publicity purposes or to show the jury that the pillows aren’t “lumpy” in an attempt to undermine the plaintiff’s lawyers.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s defamation trial is still going on, and things are going very badly for the pillow executive. In the courtroom this week, Lindell managed to mispronounce the word “defamation” by saying “deflamation,” which prompted snickers around the courtroom and caused the plaintiff’s lawyers to ask if they were even talking about the same thing. Unfortunately for Lindell, that wasn’t even the worst thing he did in court this week, as Farron Cousins explains.
Trump’s Pardon Of Social Security Thief Proves He’s LAWLESS
Trump’s pardon of Social Security Thief Paul Walczak is further proof of how Trump ‘thumbs his nose’ at the rule of law and his claim of “Protecting Social Security” are LIES!
This video takes on a particularly offensive corrupt pardon to a guy who stole social security, medicare and medicaid money. Paul Walczak pleaded guilty to his crimes, was sentenced to prison and ordered to pay $4.4 million in restitution. But after Paul’s mother, Elizabeth Betsy Fago attended a one million dollar a plate Mara-a-Lago fundraiser, Trump pardoned her son, shortly before he was to report to prison to begin serving his term. Adding insult to injury, the pardon negated the court’s order that Walczak pay restitution for the money he stole from Social Security – the money he stole from the American people.
This video discusses the ways a singe Trump pardon exposes at least three lies Trump has repeatedly told the American people.

According to news reports & various sources, White House Staffers & Cabinet Members claimed Trump is “an Idiot”, “dope with the intelligence of a kindergartner”, “like an 11 year old child”, “a professional liar”, “thinks he God”, “he tries to divide us”, “don’t think he’s fit for office”, was unable to stay focused, had a 2 minute attention span and required a ‘Special Folder’ with flattering news and photos about himself twice a day. Former DHS official Miles Taylor stated Trump was “Incandescently stupid”, that he had to “dumb down” classified memos so Trump could understand them and what he saw firsthand terrified him. National Security Advisor John Bolton stated World Leaders considered Trump to be a “laughing fool”.
A book called “The Toddler in Chief” details more than 1,000 reports by Cabinet members, Oval Office advisers and Republican Party officials describe Trump engaging in childlike behavior and temper tantrums. Reports claim White House aides had to treat Trump like a child in order to placate him.
With opinions like these from former staff and mental health professionals, it’s clear that Trump is incapable of making any rational or intelligent decisions about anything.

Renowned Psychologist : Like Hitler, Trump suffers from Sadism, Malignant Narcissism & Paranoia
Per the above article: “Renowned Psychologist Dr. John Gartner, who specializes in borderline personality disorder, biopolar disorder, and depression stated; Trump has the most dangerous form of mental illness that you can find in a leader… Malignant Narcissism”.
“Gartner stated that Malignant narcissism is a combination of 4 traits, which includes narcissism, paranoia, antisocial personality disorder (the psychology of a criminal and someone who routinely lies) and sadism”.
“The sadist aspects of Trump’s apparent mental illness, according is Gartner, means that “he is driven and gets intense pleasure from harming, humiliating, and degrading other people.”
