One of the things the socialist and or the disrupters teach in the colleges is that the white man stole the land from the Indians. They say, you are sitting on stolen land right now! It is true that the Indians were here first. But, who gave this land to the Indian’s. Today we all live in neighborhoods, homes, with close neighbors or some rural life and try to get along. Just a few Indians live on the reservation. Back in the old days settlements were being raided and many times all were killed. WHY? Because someone did not want us to hunt / fish / farm / ranch and live here in peace. Some of the big ranchers would allow the Indians to butcher a cow, but kept a strong fist over it. Of course their was greed from some white men involved, we have that same problem today. The Indian’s did not want the railroad to come through the land. They called it the Iron Horse. Some Rancher / Farmers did not want the RR either.

Approximately 30,000 years ago, the Paleo-Indians, the ancestors of Native Americans, followed herds of animals from Siberia across Beringia, a land bridge connecting Asia and North America, into Alaska. By 8,000 B.C.E., these peoples had spread across North and South America. The Indians claimed the land was their heritage and claimed it was theirs. They were nomads and moved with the weather and animal migration. They did not have permanent houses. If the herd of wild animals moved onto someones settlement or territory trouble came.

Robert Francis Prevost, 69, has become the 267th occupant of the throne of St Peter and he will be known as Leo XIV.

He Grew up as a peruvian but born in Chicago to a Spanish and Franco Italian  parents. He served as a alter boy and was ordained in 1982.

He taught for years in as a local parish pastor at a seminary in Trujillo in North Western Peru. He made many trips to the US and serve as a priest and a prior in Chicago. It sounds to me like he was torn between work and building relationships in both the US and Peru.

He was well known and well liked and the first American born to become Pope.  Pope Leo XIV lays out vision of papacy and identifies AI as a main challenge for humanity.

Now to add a twist to this, my wife was going through some things her father left. There was two small hard back books, kind of tattered, one was called “The History of the Bible” by the  Benziger Brothers. Copy righted 1889 by the Benziger Brothers. She found the book that had been put away for 22 years. It  was wrapped in brown paper bag material to keep it nice. Now while I’m watching on TV during the time the Pope was being named, she opened this book the first thing she see’s is a letter inside front from the Pope Leo XIII. The book comes from over 100 years ago. Continue reading

MIAMI, Fla.— Governor Ron DeSantis announced his support for two bills passed by the Florida Legislature aimed at protecting Floridians from unauthorized chemical exposure and atmospheric manipulation.

“I was in Miami to support SB 700, which bans local governments from unilaterally adding fluoride to public drinking water,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “In addition to this, I also reiterated in Miami that Florida is not a testing ground for geoengineering. We already do not permit this activity, and I will be signing SB 56 to prohibit the practice in our skies. The Free State of Florida means freedom from governments or private actors unilaterally applying chemicals or geoengineering to people or public spaces.”

Senate Bill 700, the Florida Farm Bill, includes a provision prohibiting local governments from unilaterally adding fluoride to public drinking water. The legislation follows a November 2024 advisory by Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo cautioning against community water fluoridation due to potential health risks, particularly for pregnant women and children.

TAMPA, Fla.— Governor Ron DeSantis highlighted Florida’s leadership on immigration enforcement and announced that Florida is ready to do more.

“Florida has led the nation on immigration enforcement, and we’re ready to do even more.” Said Governor Ron DeSantis. “We’ve submitted a plan to the federal government to contribute new detention facilities and expanded apprehension efforts to their ongoing mission to reclaim America’s sovereignty.”

Florida is leading the fight on illegal immigration enforcement. Florida has more deputized state law enforcement officers under 287(g) task force deputizations than any other state in the nation. Additionally, more than 100 Florida Highway Patrol Troopers were sworn in as Special Deputy U.S. Marshals. This authority now empowers our state troopers to execute federal warrants and remove dangerous criminals from our communities.

And Florida is ready to do even more. Florida submitted a plan to the federal government to contribute new detention facilities and expanded apprehension efforts to their ongoing mission to reclaim America’s sovereignty. Florida’s plan also includes a proposal to help expedite immigration legal processing by deputizing Florida National Guard JAGS as immigration judges.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Latest data confirms that Florida set a new all-time annual record in 2024 with 143 million visitors—an increase of 1.7% over the previous record set in 2023. This historic growth includes 130.65 million domestic travelers, 8.94 million overseas visitors, and 3.41 million Canadian tourists. And, in 2024, the State of Florida collected billions in sales tax revenue from these tourists.

Governor Ron DeSantis also announced that Florida welcomed 41.2 million visitors in the first quarter of 2025, reinforcing the Free State of Florida’s position as the nation’s top travel destination and a global tourism powerhouse.

“Florida’s tourism industry leads the nation,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “These results are proof that our freedom-first policies work—and that Florida remains the best place to visit, work, and raise a family.” Continue reading

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Rep. Cammack introduced the App Store Freedom Act, which seeks to promote competition and protect consumers and developers in the mobile app marketplace by prohibiting certain anticompetitive practices by dominant app store operators.

The bill supports interoperability and consumer choice by requiring large app store operators (100M+ U.S. users) to allow users to set third-party apps or app stores as default; install apps or app stores outside of the dominant platform; and remove or hide pre-installed apps. Additionally, the bill directs companies provide developers equal access to interfaces, features, and development tools without cost or discrimination.

“We must continue to hold Big Tech accountable and promote competition that allows all players to enter the field. For too long, consumers and developers have borne the brunt of anti-competitive practices on major app store marketplaces,” said Rep. Cammack. “Dominant app stores have controlled customer data and forced consumers to use the marketplaces’ own merchant services, instead of the native, in-app offerings provided by the applications and developers themselves. The results are higher prices and limited selections for consumers and anti-competitive practices for developers that have stifled innovation.” Continue reading

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Cammack proudly joined Rep. Michelle Fischbach (R-MN-07) and her colleagues in reintroducing the More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed (MOMS) Act, which will provide critical support to new moms during and after their pregnancy, empower women to choose life, and help them to raise happy, healthy babies.

“For many women, finding out you are unexpectedly pregnant comes with fear, and for some, abortion may feel like the only option. I am committed to empowering all women and ensuring they feel supported in choosing life,” said Congresswoman Fischbach (MN-07). “The MOMS Act supports women before, during, and after they give birth. It improves access to resources and makes sure women have everything they need right at their fingertips to help them confidently carry to term and raise their child. As we go into Mother’s Day weekend, I am so proud to introduce legislation that supports new mothers and their children.”

“I’m glad to join Rep. Fischbach and my colleagues in support of the MOMS Act,” said Rep. Kat Cammack (FL-03). “As a first-time mom myself, I’m thankful for the resources and support I’ve received, but know not all women have the same access to pre- and post-natal services. Providing more opportunities for mothers to receive the care and support necessary to deliver healthy babies is critical.” Continue reading

This week was the final week of four long weeks in Washington. While at the end of a long sprint, House Republicans met our goal of delivering the One Big, Beautiful Bill to the Senate. After very early morning votes and debate on Thursday morning, by 7am Thursday, we passed this important bill out of the House and sent it to the Republican Senate before it makes its way to President Trump’s desk. Stay tuned for important updates on this bill after the Memorial Day recess week.

Additionally, our beloved 2025 National Champion Florida Gators visited the U.S. Capitol and the White House this week. I was honored to lead them around the Capitol for a tour before meeting President Trump at the White House for an official recognition ceremony. We are so proud of our Gators and know it’s always great to be a Florida Gator. Check out some of the photos below—including Speaker Mike Johnson doing a Gator Chomp (even as an LSU Tigers fan)!

Next week is a recess week and I’m looking forward to being back in the district. We’ll be making stops and visits across Florida’s Third and will have more to share after all of our meetings. Stay tuned. Continue reading
