TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—In recognition of this National Impaired Driving Prevention Month, Attorney General Ashley Moody is urging Floridians to be safe and never drive impaired. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s latest nationwide data reveals that someone dies in a drunk driving accident every 39 minutes — that’s about 37 people every day. During December, drunk driving accidents increase. Last year, there were 507 alcohol-impaired crashes in Florida during that month alone — more crashes than any other month. Attorney General Moody is sharing tips with Floridians on how to stay safe this holiday season.

Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “In December, there is an increase in drunk driving accidents. These accidents ruin lives and can destroy families. The good news is they are 100% preventable. It’s simple, never drink and drive – instead, designate a driver, or use a ridesharing service. Follow this simple advice and we can all enjoy a happy, safe holiday season.”  Continue reading →

Interesting while everyone is scrambling to get their CPA or accountant or take the time to follow the very easy to use a 25 page instruction sheet on how to file the BOI, because most of us received warning that if you don’t comply before January 1st you will be fined $500 per day. One company made out pretty good they had a word smith create and send out a notice that really put concern into business peoples minds and lives. They only wanted $256 by December 6th to file.

The campaigns are over and we have a new President. How could this effect our efforts to push the FAIRtax ahead? President Trump has promised no tax on tips, Social Security and overtime. There have also been leaks from his campaign that he is also looking into a national sales tax, the elimination of the income tax and the repeal of the 16th Amendment. This is all good news.

President Trump has floated the idea of using tariffs to replace the income tax but the FAIRtax is much more economically efficient than tariffs. While tariffs do bring money into the federal treasury, they are more suited to enforcing fair trade between countries than for raising revenue. The FAIRtax however, was specifically designed to replace the income tax in funding the government.

Unfortunately the DC elites and many members of Congress in both parties will work feverishly to retain the present income/payroll tax system. These people have used the income tax system for decades to raise large amounts of money for their re-election campaigns and to exert control over our lives by giving tax breaks to those who will do their bidding and tax penalties to those who don’t. They also love having the power of the IRS at their disposal to punish those who dare to oppose their agenda with higher taxes and IRS audits. They won’t give up easily. Continue reading →

FIRST Adopt the FAIRTax Plan where we pay tax when we buy anything that’s new. Incorporate tariff plan to FairTax. Not needing income tax! The states will collect it the revenue for the Government..

NO sales tax on anything used!  That is double taxation! Auto’s, boats, campers, etc!  (Savings for the tax payers).

FIRE the Department of Education and hire a Constitutional Board of Director in each state to monitor its own education bylaws and it’s local history as it happened in that state with new laws voted on by the parents and legal representatives. The parent must be the Guiding light! ANYONE caught burning or degrading our American Flag gets mandatory six months working for the State Road department in  the state they degraded the Flag! Otherwise hard jail time!

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced that Florida is making 300 new bonus awards to Law Enforcement Officers and has reached a milestone of 6,400 bonuses awarded to new law enforcement recruits through the Florida Law Enforcement Recruitment Bonus Payment Program. The latest 300 bonuses were awarded to officers serving in counties impacted by Hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton. This first-of-its-kind initiative, launched in 2022, is part of Florida’s strongest-in-the-nation support for law enforcement and constitutes a one-time, $5,000 bonus—after taxes—to newly employed officers in the state.

“Florida welcomes law enforcement officers from across the country to a state where they will be recognized and appreciated,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Additionally, Florida celebrates the law enforcement profession and encourages people to join the force. Law enforcement officers make enormous personal sacrifices for the communities they serve, and they deserve higher pay and more support.” Continue reading →

Tariffs was used by President Trump to help raise money and keep expenses down. Donald Trump uses them to get United States business’s from moving to China or Mexico. When  a USA business moves to Mexico or other countries they can access the Chinese Market, Mexican Market and build their products with cheap labor and cheap materials. Inferrer steel, metals, plastics and then sell it to the USA citizens taking the U.S. factory out. Where is their Patriotism, their Honor, their loyalty to the USA? I guess we are just wanting to buy something cheap. Don’t forget cheap is not made well! Another consideration, the chance of disease could be a way of spread a new virus. Let use American products! They are our enemy!

Mexico is part of the problem. A lot of product and other things come from or through Mexico, Medical drugs are cheaper there than here. Our produce is not do good on the trip from Mexico and the country’s south. Again remember they are our enemy! Continue reading →

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Cammack joined Rep. Vern Buchanan and 52 House colleagues in a letter demanding answers and accountability from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) following stunning revelations that an agency supervisor instructed staff to avoid providing storm assistance to homes displaying campaign signs for President-elect Trump.

According to reports from sources inside FEMA, at least 20 homes with pro-Trump campaign signs or flags were bypassed by relief workers from late October through November, as a result of guidance from a FEMA supervisor directing workers to avoid these homes. The supervisor alleged that this practice of political discrimination was “not isolated” to Florida, but also extended to the Carolinas. She even stated that “senior leadership will lie to you and tell you that they don’t know” while FEMA continues to deny assistance to storm victims across the country.

“Americans deserve better. In this country, we protect all our citizens, regardless of political affiliation. We urge FEMA to take swift and decisive action to address this issue, hold those responsible fully accountable and restore public trust in its ability to serve every American in need,” said the lawmakers in the letter.

Dear Neighbor,

This week, President Trump has continued to announce strong American leaders to fill his cabinet! The 20th of January is quickly approaching, and I cannot wait to see President Trump take command. After four years of runaway inflation, a disastrous border crisis, rising crime, and more, we’re ready for a breath of fresh air.

The Chair of the House Agriculture Committee, Glenn “GT” Thompson, recently visited our home in Florida’s Third to speak with farmers and survey the agricultural damage from Hurricane Helene. As Chairman, Representative Thompson has the knowledge and ability to shape policy in support of our farmers. With the Farm Bill awaiting action in the Senate, it’s critical that we keep pushing for its passage and vocally supporting the amazing work of our producers. Thank you for visiting, Mr. Chairman.

In recognition of Thanksgiving next week, Congress will be in recess until December 3. We wish you all a safe and happy Thanksgiving with your families and look forward to ringing in the holiday season thereafter. Continue reading →

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Ashley Moody is fighting to protect children online.
