JFK said politics is a "game of knives." Developer doormats in St. Johns County have a history ofactingb like hired knife-throwers. Remember this: It was a fungible developer doormat, one-term St. Johns County Commissioner JEREMIAH RAY BLOCKER, who sua sponte abolished non-agenda public comment at the beginning of our St. Johns County Commission meetings. His Reign of Error is ending. Yes, my friends, commencing December 3, 2024, County Commission Chair Krista Keating Joseph, Vice Chair Clay Murphy and Commissioner Ann Taylor, our Commission reform majority, will restore on-agenda public comment at the beginning of our SJC BoCC meetings. Now JEREMIAH RAY BLOCKER's 14-lawyer Palatka-based law frim is applying to be the counsel to tne Anastasia Mosquito Control District of St. Johns County. BLOCKER's got a misleading law firm page that claims he was County Commission Chair from 2018-2022. False. BLOCKER was Chair for one (1) year and one (1) year only. Yes, BLOCKER was a Commissioner from 2018-2022. Watch this guy. Inflated ego, delusions of adequacy, all hat and no battle -- the man who blocked Pride proclamation without ever giving a reason (although defeated DeSANTIS appointed Commissioner ROY ALYRE ALAIMO, JR. gave their anti-Gay game away, sending a GQP fundraising letter seeking money to fight LGBTQ+ people and our right to be treated with equality right under the 14th Amendment and Supreme Court precedent. AMCD should reject BLOCKER's bid for mosquito control money, and consider the possibility of revising the RFP and advertising better and broader next time -- in 2010, there were fifteen (15) applications to be mosquito control district attorney., Here's JEREMIAH RAY BLOCKER's mendacious misleading puffery:

100% VA Blocker is a fine social democrat behind closed doors. Utilizes veterans affairs compensation and pension to the tune of $2,000 a month plus... and there's nothing wrong with that. It furthers the goal of socialism in the USA. VA healthcare however.. does not. It's the most expensive theatre performance in all of American history, maybe even human history, and puts social democracy to shame.
They wield influence for money. That's in contrast to people who produce goods and distribute resources. At the end of the day they simply talk for money. What gives one human being the privilege to do that instead of another is anyone's guess. I suppose If I can consistently be music to someone's ears then I should have money handed to me.
