(NAPSI)—Americans are living nearly a decade longer than they were in the 1970s. That’s great news—but staying healthy into your 80s and beyond requires extra care and an eye towards prevention. The protection provided by vaccines plays a key role in helping keep you healthy and preventing severe illness and potential long-term complications, especially for older adults and individuals with immunocompromised conditions.
As people age, their immune system naturally weakens—it becomes slower at recognizing and fighting off viruses. At the same time, lungs become more vulnerable, and chronic conditions such as heart disease or diabetes can make it harder to recover from illnesses such as COVID-19. Similarly, people of all ages with weakened immune systems—whether from certain health conditions or medications—face a higher risk of severe illness because their bodies also struggle to mount a strong defense. In both cases, a reduced ability to fight infectious respiratory disease increases the risk of serious complications and hospitalization. Continue reading

The no King’s protest in Ocala was scheduled on June 14th, which is a day to celebrate the red white and blue, Flag Day. It was also the 250th birthday of the United States Army! Instead, the left is trying to encourage riots in Florida, as what is occurring in LA. We will not permit that in Florida, we enforce law and order. We salute the Ocala police department for their continued service and support of our community. The Marion County Republican executive committee attended the Williston watermelon festival to promote our President’s achievements, economic vitality, innovation and economic agility and adherence to constitutional principles. We are a Republic! The real reminder that the REAL No Kings day has been Independence Day, July 4, since 1776!

What would you do if someone said “I’m going to kill you?” You would go to law enforcement and report it. Think about what you would do if it was a foreign country threatening you? You would report it to a federal Law Enforcement. Well that is what just happened. For forty years, we, I, You have been in danger for years from a country and we don’t know why.
We have gone through many Presidents and none have done a thing but make us live under the threats. This president does not expect us to live under threats. He did something about it and apparently and will do his best for our country not to expect us to live under threats.
So you countries out there, you have sent people here to threaten us and have paid people to riot in our country. Our president and his law enforcement team will find you and send you packing or put you in jail. We are the United States off America! You can’t do that to us any more. When this president can no longer do the job like term out. Others are in place to help the country to live in peace.
The ruler of the country that has been threatening us is still alive. His purpose in life is to destroy our country and destroy Israel. Please let us live in peace!

10 YEARS OF MAGA!
Patriot,
Ten years ago today, I launched the MAGA movement and declared my candidacy for President of the United States.
It all started at the top of that Golden Escalator in Trump Tower. After all the indictments, witch hunts, hoaxes, campaigns, assassination attempts, I must say that I regret nothing! I had the audacity to say what others wouldn’t:
AMERICA WAS GONE!
Open Borders, Major Crime, Unsafe Cities, No More American Jobs… Obama spit in the face of Americans.
I COULDN’T STAND BY WHILE OUR ONCE GREAT COUNTRY DISAPPEARED!
So, when I descended the Golden Escalator and launched the greatest political movement in American history – THE MAGA MOVEMENT – I did it because of you. The forgotten men and women of America would be forgotten no longer.
I AM DONALD TRUMP, and I became, and still am, your voice! The farmers, the factory workers, the police, the moms and dads, our great TROOPS – I LOVE YOU!
Let this letter serve as a reminder to you and everyone else, in America and across the globe: DONALD J. TRUMP WILL NEVER SURRENDER!
I make this solemn promise to you: I will never stop fighting to SAVE AMERICA for the Golden Age of America is just beginning! It’s all thanks to you…seriously.
