Democrat Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried Compares Governor Ron DeSantis to Hitler

Corrupt Florida Democrat Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried compared Governor Ron DeSantis to Hitler.

Nikki Fried is running for governor in the Democrat primary race and recently compared DeSantis to Hitler out of pure desperation.

The Floridian Press reported:

During an interview with WLRN’s “The Florida Round-Up,” Commissioner Fried, said,” I’m a student of history too, I saw the rise of Hitler. I’ve learned of those stories. I have studied Hitler and how he got t0 power you know, wanting his own militia and having his own militia.”

Commissioner Fried says that Gov. DeSantis is only trying to instill fear in Floridians, and is even blaming for any woes that the state currently faces, saying that ” blaming certain parts of our society and our culture and that’s exactly what Hitler did to the Jews back you know during World War II.”

“Do I think that we’re going to get to this extent of Hitler’s power, of course not, but the rise of his power and what he did to scapegoat certain parts and especially the Jewish community in Germany and how he utilized taking going after the media going after, and scapegoating people and blaming people and putting fear and then taking over the military, that’s what this governor is doing,” concluded Fried.

Christina Pushaw. DeSantis’ press secretary, blasted Nikki Fried.

Japan issues tsunami warning after major volcanic eruption

The tsunami follows a major eruption from an underwater volcano 65km south of the island nation of Tonga

A tsunami warning has been issued for Japan's entire east coast, as well as the southern Amami island and the Takara island chain.

A tsunami triggered by the undersea volcanic eruption has already hit the Pacific nation of Tonga and prompted multiple other nations to issue warnings, including the United States and Japan.

The eruption was so big it was seen from space.

Residents were warned to evacuate from coastal and riverside areas and seek higher ground for the early hours of Sunday, January 16, with waves expected to reach as high as three meters.

Some local media reported that tsunami waves had already reached the coast of Tohoku and Okinawa early Sunday.

US citizen detained in Moscow over child sexual abuse accusation – reports

Arrested man allegedly raped his two sons in Houston, Texas

An American citizen has been detained in Moscow on suspicion of sexually assaulting his two sons after a complaint filed by the mother of the child, multiple Russian news outlets have reported.

According to Moscow daily RBK, American David Thomas Barnes, aged 64, was arrested for allegedly raping his two underaged sons, born in 2010 and 2014. According to the complaint, the crimes took place between 2014 and 2018, in the US city of Houston.

Barnes is suspected of breaking the Russian law for violent acts of a sexual nature against a person under 14 years of age, which has a maximum prison term of 20 years behind bars. Even though the alleged assaults happened abroad, Moscow could still convict if the victims have Russian nationality.

Izvestia added that the authorities received a complaint from the accused’s wife. The news was also published by anonymous Telegram channel 112, which claimed that he has no registration in Russia.

In a comment to RBK, US embassy spokesman Jason Rebholz revealed that the diplomatic mission in Moscow had not yet received any information about the reports.

“We have not received notification from the Russian government about such an arrest. If an American citizen is arrested, we expect immediate notification and immediate access to the consulate in accordance with Russia’s treaty obligations,” he said.
