The Sea side Building Collapse is horrible. Can you imagine sleeping in that building when it collapsed? All kinds of rumors are flying around that the building should have been condemned, There were crack in the foundation reported a year ago??? My gosh what a terrible loss. It needs to be investigated and if there was negligence they need to deal with it harshly.

Has anyone been watching what is going on in Oklahoma, they have been passing laws and amendment. One was to place the Ten Commandments on the Oklahoma State Capital Building Entrance.

Wait there is more…They passed a Law to arrest all Illegal Immigrants and ship them back to where they came from, with exception that if they want to become a United States Citizen and get a green card to work in this country sign up here they all ran.The ACLU and the American Government  told Oklahoma law enforcement, It’s not a good idea. They said they were doing it anyway. Obama and Biden did not do well in Oklahoma, neither one won one county during the election. Continue reading

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
