A bait trap set by an alligator “expert” in the Villages, Florida has so far proved unsuccessful in capturing one of the vicious aquatic reptiles from the pond across from the pool and postal station on Canal Street in the Village of Bonita, Villages-News.com reports. The alligator is wanted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission in the Wednesday murder of a local dog whose partially eaten corpse is still floating in the pond as of Friday. FWC has deemed the alligator a “nuisance”, meaning it is subject to summary execution upon capture. It is unknown what will become of the meat if/when the beast is disposed of. Villages residents are advised to treat any excessively discounted Applebee’s or Chili’s “all white meat” boneless buffalo wings with caution.

The Villages, Florida resident Wayne Bentley is deeply concerned that the corporate interests who manage the vast retirement community are selling out to corporate interests, Bentley writes in a letter to the editor of Villages-News.com titled “The Villages management has lost its way.”

“The Villages site plan for reserved parking for those living in the new apartments on Spanish Springs Town Square, even more questions are raised than answered about the future of The Villages original town square. Besides the closure of Katie Belle’s for the planned apartments and supposed renovation of the Rialto Theater, what else lies ahead?” asks Bentley, adding “Villages management is forgetting about what drew so many to The Villages in the first place, that sense of community and the friendships and camaraderie created by that community. The Villages management has lost its way, lost sight of its beginnings, instead, it now focuses more on the almighty dollar. They need to look back and rekindle the vision of its founder.”

Note the use of “management” and not something like “our city council” because there is none in the Villages, which is not a Democracy at the local level but a semi-sovereign corporate fiefdom, governed by a covenant remarkably similar to that of nearby-ish Disney World which has come to the fore recently with Ron DeSantis’s crusade against the entertainment giant. So basically instead of a concerned voter taking issue with elected leaders, Wayne Bentley is more like a hipster complaining that his favorite brand sold out and is no longer as “authentic” as it once was to him. LOL.

Notorious Villages, Florida libtard Ed McGinty was acquitted and exonerated Thursday on charges of stalking a pro-Trump neighbor who had McGinty banned from the Hadley Community Swimming Pool after he called her a “fat slob” over her “Joe Biden sucks” t-shirt, Villages-News.com reports.

The saga, just one of a long, very long, excruciatingly long string of politically-charged confrontations in the vast, mostly red retirement community, began on September 23rd when McGinty confronted the “victim” at the pool over her anti-Biden shirt. The “victim”, feeling threatened, stayed in the water to avoid McGinty. A man called 911 and Sumter County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to remove the libtard from the pool, after which he was banned permanently.

Somewhat surprisingly learning from her mistake the first time around, sort of has-been MAGA superstar shitbag Laura Loomer’s quest for a House seat has taken her from the deep blue Palm Beach-area Florida 21st Congressional District – where she got absolutely destroyed by the incumbent Dem in 2020 – to redder pastures to take down an incumbent “RINO” in a primary instead. And few places are redder than the sunwashed golf cart maze of The Villages.

Loomer will appear before the The Villages Sons of the American Revolution at 10 a.m. Saturday at Captiva Recreation Center, giving a talk titled “My Experiences as an Investigative Journalist,” that almost certainly has nothing to do with actual journalism and everything to do with how incumbent GOP Congressman Dan Webster is an America Last queer who’s secretly Muslim and denies the science behind the benefits of ivermectin. If there are any National Zero readers in the area, we would appreciate it if you could stop by and take a few pics – and then check out Margarita Republic too. That place is legendary for its connections to the Villages’ criminal underworld.

The Villages, Florida mini-MAGA clustertruck that didn’t have any trucks in it at all was briefly blockaded by a pro-Ukraine protestor until the lead golf cart decided to simply drive around the woman on Sunday afternoon, Villages-News.com reports. The roughly 40 golf carts parading in solidarity with the “People’s Convoy” which drove in circles around Washington DC last week were doing the same around Market Square in Lake Sumter Landing at about 4:00 pm when a woman wearing the colors of the Ukrainian flag stepped into the roadway, impeding their progress.

A standoff ensued until the lead golf cart simply drove around the pro-Ukrainian counterprotestor, with the others following. A separate verbal altercation ensued when another woman held up a sign saying “You’re embarrassing yourself. Trump lost,” eliciting a heated reaction from one of the MAGA Villagers in the “convoy.” “Trump didn’t lose. It was stolen. And you’re a Communist,” screamed a woman from one of the Trump pussy wagons. It is unclear if the “Communist” responded in kind.

The Villages-News.com article also featured a special cameo by racist right wing psychopath Laura Loomer, now running for the House again in the Villages-area Florida 11th District, having sought out seeking redder pastures after getting absolutely fucking crushed in her 2020 Palm Beach-area general election contest against Dem Congresswoman Lois Frankel. Loomer now seeks to oust GOP Congressman Daniel Webster in the August primary. “[Webster] doesn’t even believe the election was stolen from Trump,” said Loomer to the MAGA Villagers prior to the start of their “convoy.”

A state of deep unease settled in across the Villages, Florida following the mysterious fire which incinerated a golf cart parked outside of the Chula Vista Recreation Center on Thursday. The main source of the disquiet stemmed from the fact that the cart’s make, model, and even whether it was a gasoline or electric engine, was completely unknown to media sources. Though no one was hurt, the lack of information about what carts of a similar model could be potentially dangerous. Maybe next time one could explode spontaneously while a Villager is driving home after enjoying a few well-deserved afternoon scotches down at Margarita Republic. Or explode not so spontaneously when they pass out behind the wheel and crash the cart into a gas pump at the Exxon station.

Then there’s possibility of arson caused by a hidden cell of Antifa terrorists conducting hit and run attacks against people who worked for a living all their goddamned lives only to have some fucking leftist punks destroy it simply to please their evil master Nancy Pelosi. Or much more likely it was their 52 year old son or daughter who came to live with them in the Villages who torched the cart as phase one of their operation to steal the insurance check to buy heroin. But they prefer to talk about their other kids – and their grandchildren who are in college and not jail.

From left to right: Registered Republican Stephanie Romas, 42, arrested for battery in domestic disturbance while out on bond (which was revoked) for two previous domestic disturbances from October and a shoplifting warrant from September.

Draper was sentenced to ten days in jail plus 50 hours community service. Gary Thomas Wilcock, 60, no voter registration data, was arrested on charges of burglary with battery, criminal mischief and violation of an injunction for harassing his ex-girlfriend. Wilcock is said to be another flightless birdie living with his parents in the Villages, per comments on the articles. Texan Avery Autumn Shepherd, 20, no voter registration data, arrested for skipping a court date after a November arrest for possession of meth and a set of brass knuckles. Not pictured is Registered Republican Miranda Delee Farleigh, 25, a postal worker found with boxes upon boxes of stolen mail in her bedroom at her parents’ house, lifting cash from Christmas cards to support a heroin habit.

From left to right: Registered Republican Jonathon Morgan Mauldin, 27, arrested Friday after illegally parking his SUV at a shopping center with a loaded AR-15 and over an eighth of weed inside. Registered Dem Allan David Martinelli, 81, crashed his golf cart into another on Friday after having “two drinks of scotch”, booked on DUI.

Registered Republican John Paul Toupin, 79, arrested Friday for drunkenly crashing his golf cart into three others. Toupin is also listed as an “active” voter in Michigan as well, so as a part-time Villager he should be presumed guilty of double voting until proven innocent.

Villages, Florida bodybuilder Donna Lynn Cacciatore, 56, got some good news in a pretrial hearing over her assaulting her husband Joseph, 69, back in August, as the charge of felony battery on a person over the age of 65 was dropped to a misdemeanor, Villages-News.com reports. Joseph, who filed for divorce in May, accused Donna of hitting him in the shins and thighs in an attempt to provoke him into attacking her, which presumably would’ve ended with Donna beating the absolute shit out of the registered Republican Joseph. The multi-medal winning bodybuilder also threw a remote through the television, shattering the screen, per the Sumter County Sheriff’s arrest report.

The vast retirement community of The Villages, Florida is fast becoming America’s most MAGA crime-infested shithole. National Zero can now confirm that Trump fan John Rider, 61, was arrested by Brevard County deputies as he stepped off a cruise ship in Cape Canaveral on December 3rd, served with a warrant for casting a ballot in both Florida and an unspecified other state in an unspecified election. This follows news of the arrests of Joan Halstead on November 30th and Richard Ketcik on December 10th for the same crime in the 2020 election. Unlike Halstead and Ketcik, Rider is an independent, though KPMG found pro-Trump Facebook posts from all three.

Meanwhile, a second female registered Republican Villager was arrested Friday for driving her golf cart under the influence last weekend. On Friday night, a Jennifer Lynn Clark, 58, was arrested following her declining a field sobriety test after a police officer “observed the driver exit the golf cart and pull her pants down and proceed to urinate”, Villages-News.com reports. Clark “could not keep her balance,” was “slurring her words”, and told the officer “I don’t think I can” when asked to take the field sobriety test, per the officer’s arrest report. The officer also reported finding “two open bottles of Fireball whiskey, two open cans of Michelob Ultra beer and two unopened bottles of Platinum 7X Vodka, located in a cooler” in Clark’s purple Yamaha golf cart.

Clark’s arrest came the night before the big annual Villages Holiday Golf Cart Parade, after which Karen Hackett drunkenly crashed her cart into a curb, injuring her passenger, and screamed anti-Biden profanities at EMTs who responded to the scene. Hackett was also arrested for DUI.

A festive occasion in The Villages, Florida was marred Saturday as annual holiday golf cart parade participant registered Republican Karen Hackett, 63, was arrested for DUI following a collision which tossed Hackett and her passenger from the vehicle, Villages-News.com reports. Karen, whom witnesses say was consuming alcohol at the parade, was headed home at 7:30 pm when her golf cart struck a curb, sending her and an unidentified passenger tumbling onto a lawn. When EMTs responded, Karen was hostile toward them, screaming “Get me [Governor Ron] DeSantis”, “I’m not vaccinated”, and “profanity aimed at President Joe Biden” per Villages-News’s reporting.

Karen and her passenger were both transported to a local hospital, where the boozy MAGA Villager was “belligerent” toward a nurse. Karen blew a range between 0.246 and 0.249 BAC in several breathalyzer tests, more than triple the legal limit of 0.08 in Florida. She was booked on charges of driving under the influence and disorderly conduct, and released on $2,000 bond.

Villages-News.com followed up on Friday with additional details about the two Villages, Florida Republican scumbags recently charged with voter fraud, reporting that both arrests stemmed from the discovery of their having absentee ballots cast in other states. Jay Richard Ketcik, 63, formerly of Manistique, Michigan, mailed in his Florida ballot on October 13th, 2020, also mailing an absentee ballot to his home state on an unspecified date. Ketcik turned himself in this week to face the felony voter fraud charge in Florida. Joan Halstead, 72, formerly of Pennsylvania, mailed in a ballot to vote in New York in the 2020 election (unclear is why she was still registered to vote in New York and not Pennsylvania where she had moved from) and also voted in person in the Villages, Florida on October 20th, 2020. Halstead turned herself in on November 30th, 2021.

Villages, Florida resident and registerd Republican Jay Richard Ketcik, 63, turned himself into the Sumter County Detention Center on Wednesday afternoon to face felony charges for voting twice in an unspecified election, Villages-News.com reports. Ketcik, a 2020 Michigan transplant who registered to vote in Florida in July 2020, is the second Villages Republican charged with voter fraud in as many weeks. Joan Halstead, 72, was arrested for the same offense on November 30th.

Florida Trump fan Joan Halstead, 72, of The Villages, was arrested Monday for casting two ballots in an unspecified election, Villages-News.com reports. Halstead, described as a retired teacher from Scranton, Pennsylvania, moved to the sprawling retirement community in April 2020, registered as a Republican to vote in Florida in June 2020, and briefly filed to run for a seat on the Sumter County School Board before withdrawing her candidacy in October. “Her social media activity suggests she is a supporter of former President Donald Trump” says the Villages-News article, which is probably some sort of journalistic understatement.
