Where is our country going! This new scandal if it’s true will not only shake our country but it will shake the world. How could this happen you ask? GREED! Hidden documents, hidden foundation money, lies, our own government watch dogs committing crime, taking money, unlawfully surveilling American citizens and using the IRS to intimidate a political section of people. WOW!

Almost 3,000 died on 9-11. Many have forgotten. We let factions of people push us around about being patriotic. 16 years ago after 9-11 everyone was flying flags on their cars at home and at their businesses. Today we are being challenged when we fly a flag at a baseball game. At Football games we are disrespected during the national Anthem. Some of the people who attack us on 9-11 were illegal aliens. Today we are challenged when we want to check their legal status. [Read more…]

Floridians are finally starting to return to life as normal after Hurricane Irma wreaked havoc in our state for almost two weeks. Irma delivered a blow to millions of people throughout the Caribbean and the southeastern United States, leaving many left to piece their lives back together in its wake. Hurricane Irma’s furious march through Florida not only darkened millions of homes, it also flooded roads and piled them with debris, blocking off access to neighborhoods. This has presented more problems for local governments to figure out the best way to clean up and begin recovery efforts. Yet Florida, undoubtedly, has proven its resilience after Irma. Tap water is drinkable. Trash has been picked up. Public transit has slowly come back online. At airports, flights are regularly taking off. We must be grateful for the careful leadership and preparation that Governor Rick Scott and all our elected officials provided before and after the storm. Florida has never seen such widespread effects from a hurricane like this before, and were it not for the tireless efforts of so many, it could have been much worse. [Read more…]

As time goes on you need to store what is going on right now in Washington. What will go as lies and as deceit get worse or as politician lose their memory, you’ll hear “I don’t remember” or “I don’t recall” or “I was not aware of that” or take the 5th! Some will face up, but I predict 5 or 6 will take the heat for all of this but none will go to jail. A number of these politicians involved are just flat not being seen. If they say there were not involved and their signature appears on a document proving otherwise, I say put them in jail. [Read more…]
