Dear friends,
I hope you are enjoying our sunny Florida weather this summer. We are so fortunate to be living in a free, open state, which just happens to have great weather too! We have seen reports that there are one-thousand people a day moving in to Florida. They have seen how prosperous we are and how many opportunities that we have here that may not exist anywhere else in the country. We have one of the best, most affordable education systems in America. We continue to expand school choice and allow families the freedom to determine how and where their students will learn. We continue to invest in our beautiful, natural resources and this fiscal year alone, funding from the legislature totals nearly $300 million, which go in to the Resilient Florida Trust Fund and the Water Protection and Sustainability Trust Fund. Our cost of living is nearly half of that of California’s or New York’s. We do not suffocate our businesses with burdensome taxes and regulation and our citizens can earn a paycheck, free of state income taxes. We are not following the failed, authoritarian policies of mask ordinances or vaccine passports. We do not tolerate rioting, looting, or the destruction of private property by lawless groups of Marxists. Our houses of worship are open and we maintain that the State has no authority to order their closure under the first amendment of the constitution. Continue reading
Quote:-“Today, 10.2 million undocumented immigrants are living and working in communities across the United States”.
A contributor on a local website asked ”How does the United States of America benefit from granting ‘Naturalization/Citizenship’ to foreigners?For whatever reason, almost all of the respondents ranted on about the many contributions made over the years by ‘Immigrants’.
For example- “We are all immigrants!”
– “Immigrants help grow the economy by filling labor needs, purchasing goods and paying taxes. When more people work, productivity increases.”
-“As an increasing number of Americans retire in coming years, immigrants will help fill labor demand and maintain the social safety net.” Continue reading
To get a tropical look in a warm temperate garden, one most interesting is the little-known genus Curcuma which includes Curcuma longa the culinary spice turmeric. Curcuma, or hidden cone gingers, is a genus of mostly tropical plants known for their dramatic bold foliage, flamboyant floral show. Curcuma can range in height from just under 2′ to over 7′ tall. The slightly hidden flowers resemble psychedelic pinecones…a nice trip back to the 1960s.
MIAMI –Governor Ron DeSantis was joined by Cuban-American leaders and elected officials in Miami for a roundtable supporting the Cuban people who are protesting the regime’s tyrannical grip on the island.
Governor DeSantis called on the Biden Administration to take a strong stance against the oppressive, communist regime that has been using violence against its own people to crush dissent for more than six decades.
Governor DeSantis said, “We stand with the people of Cuba. For far too long, a tyrannical communist regime has oppressed its people and used its power to silence any dissidents. Now, the Cuban people are making their voices heard to demand freedom and an end to this dictatorship. Continue reading

Ocala, FL) – The Summer Season for the Ocala Polo Club is in full swing with matches every Saturday through September at 6pm. Watch as two teams consisting of four players navigate a white ball across the field using horse power and wooden mallets. Players gallop up and down the field passing the ball to other teammates with the mission of scoring a goal. The match is broken up into periods called chukkers. Each chukker lasts seven minutes and in 
between chukkers, players can switch out their horses. Players can attempt to ride other players off of the ball or bump them out of the way, but two umpires oversee the game and issue fouls when someone does something that could endanger the other riders. In the end, the team with the most goals wins the match and celebrates on top of the podium! An announcer commentates the match, making it a great event to bring family and friends to especially if they have never been to a polo match before.
OCALA Florida Advent hospital. I was scheduled in to advent hospital for an out patient for a complete Echocardiogram. They called me the night before to remind me and pre-register me. I got in 30 minutes early. They had a team. There were about six or eight ladies dressed a like, black slacks with black dress jacket, sharply dressed. They had little semi-private glass front offices, they would come to the waiting room and call your name and escort you to a office and check me in like a hotel register desk. They verified who you were, what you were there for and your Insurance. They hand you a bracelet with your information on it you verify it is correct then they put it around your wrist and escort you to the waiting room.
I am bad about having a problem about waiting a long time. While in the waiting room they were taking people about every three minutes I was number 4. They escorted me into a room where they did my test. I got there early and did not have to wait. Continue reading
