Fun fact: Numerous Florida sheriffs spent a combined $6M in tax payer funds to campaign against Amendment 3 and complain about homeowners who are tired of being over taxed.
Who here thinks that $6M would've been better spent on protecting our local communities?
I know I do. 🙋🏻♂️

Schools cannot mislead families about their curriculum, then expel children and keep a full year’s tuition when parents object.
My office has demanded that Saint Stephen’s Episcopal School preserve records, stop collections, and make these families whole. Florida parents will not be silenced.

Stephen Miller says the money lost to welfare fraud runs into the hundreds of billions, enough that paying only people who are lawfully eligible could balance the federal budget. One loophole shows how it happens. Under SNAP's broad-based categorical eligibility rule, 17.6% of participants qualify only because of the loophole. A multimillionaire tested it, told the truth on his application, and was approved for close to $300 a month. Nobody checked his assets. One estimate says closing that single loophole saves close to $110 billion over a decade.
This should outrage every taxpayer. A multimillionaire applied for SNAP benefits hoping to be denied… and he got approved for CLOSE TO $300 A MONTH anyway. No asset check, no deeper questioning, nothing. Food assistance is for families going through hard times, NOT millionaires (obviously). @USDA and @POTUS are right to close this loophole. All the waste, fraud, and abuse needs to be stopped!

🚨 BREAKING: In a massive development, President Trump is expected to announce the "HEALTHCARE PRICE CUTS ACT" as soon as TOMORROW to fix the broken Obamacare subsidy system that gives billions to Big Insurance.
He has officially CORNERED the Democrats on Obamacare. They will now defend Big, Rich Insurance.
The bill would halt Obamacare premium spikes, per MSNOW.
The plan reportedly includes a DEPOSIT mechanism, putting money into a Health Savings Account, incentivizing lower-premium options.
It would also end the premium hikes, end zero-premium subsidies, and STOP massive fraud known as "ghost beneficiaries."
Trump recently said: "I am calling today for insurance companies NOT to be paid. But for this massive amount of money be paid DIRECTLY to the people so they can buy their own healthcare!"
"We will pay a lot of money to the people, and FORGET this Obamacare madness!"

The year is 30,000 BC. You wake hungry and there is no breakfast, because there has never been breakfast. The children are still asleep by the fire. You get up and go out on an empty stomach, and by the second day without a kill your head is clearer and your eyes are sharper than when you were fed. You do not think of this as going without. It is how mornings are.
The year is 400 BC. You are ill, and the physician on Kos sits by the bed and tells you to stop eating. To feed a sick body, he says, is to feed the sickness. You find you did not want food anyway. The dog in the yard does the same when it is poorly. It lies down, turns its head from the bowl, and gets up when it is well.
The year is 1250. You eat twice a day, the first time near noon, and you fast on something like a third of the days in the year. It is hard by the fourth week of Lent and nobody pretends otherwise. But the whole village is doing it with you, and when Easter comes the roast tastes like nothing you will be able to describe to your grandchildren. Eating on waking is for infants and invalids. The word for the midday meal means the breaking of a fast.
The year is 1909. You are a suffragette in Holloway, and they have taken your clothes, your name and your letters. You stop eating. It is the one thing in the cell that is still yours. After 91 hours they let you out rather than have you die on their hands. Within months they are holding women down and forcing tubes into them, because an empire has found out it is frightened of a person who will not eat.
The year is 1921. Your child has seizures, sometimes thirty in a day, and you have stopped sleeping. A doctor in New York puts children like yours on a fast and the fits cease. You sit by the bed through the first quiet night you have had in two years. The Mayo Clinic works out how to hold the body in the same state with food and calls it the ketogenic diet. Fasting, this year, is a hospital treatment.
The year is 1944. You are seven and you are not hungry, and your mother stands over you until the bowl is empty, because a voice on the wireless has told her that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The voice was paid for by the company that made what is in the bowl. She does not know that. She loves you, so she watches you finish it.
The year is 1985. You are told to eat little and often, to keep your metabolism burning and your blood sugar steady. You carry something in your bag in case. You have not gone five hours without food in your adult life, and when you try, the feeling frightens you, because you have been taught it is the start of something going wrong. You have never been heavier, and you assume the fault is yours.
The year is 2016. A Japanese biologist is given the Nobel prize for showing what a cell does when it is not being fed. It takes itself apart and rebuilds from the good pieces. The repair only runs when the food stops.
The year is 2026. You mention that you do not eat until midday, and somebody asks, kindly, whether you have spoken to anyone about that. The school runs a breakfast club with a cereal logo on the banner. And the best-selling medicine on earth is an injection that makes you forget to eat.
You did it before the hunt, through the fever, in the cell and in front of God. It sharpened you and it mended you. It was the one protest nobody could take off you. It was free, and you never needed anyone's leave.
It was taken from you at the breakfast table, by somebody who loved you, on the advice of somebody who was selling something.
This year they are selling it back. Once a week, in a pen, for life.

非洲真的很缺水吗？其实“懒”才是他们穷的根本原因。有数据显示，非洲地下水储量是地表的100倍，为何他们不挖井，而是到处找水？
我之前跟着一支海外工程队在那边待了快八个月，亲眼见过太多让人匪夷所思的事，说出来真的好多人都不敢信。我们当时的营地建在一片开阔的草地上，刚过去的时候要解决用水问题，队里找了个测水的师傅随便找了个地方打井，打到不到十二米就出了清水，水质甜得很，除了供我们队四十多个人吃喝洗澡，还能引出一垄水浇我们开出来的小菜园，天天浇水都用不完。
而离我们营地不到两公里的地方，就有一个百十来口人的部落村子，我第一次跟着采购去村里的时候，就看见全村人都围着一个半米深的泥坑接水，那水浑得放半小时都澄清不了，水面上还飘着虫子和牲畜的粪便，小孩渴了蹲下来直接舀了就喝，大人也不管，不少小孩隔三差五就拉肚子，缺药耽误着能拖出大病，看着真的让人心疼。我当时就问翻译，咱们这边打井出了这么多水，他们咋不来打一口？翻译笑笑说，你往后看就知道了，不是水的事。
没过多久工程闲下来，队长说反正咱们设备人都有，不如免费帮他们打一口井，也算做件好事，结果第一步就卡壳了。村长带着一群人堵在我们选好的井址，说这块地是他们部落的公用土地，要打井就得给他们十袋面粉五桶食用油外加两箱汽水，不然别想动土。我们队里想着反正也不多，给就给了，就当换一口井给村里人用，这点东西对我们来说不算什么。
接下来要找几个当地人帮忙打下手搬东西，我们说好一天给一斤玉米面两瓶汽水，这个待遇在当地已经够一个三口之家吃饱喝足了，比他们自己瞎晃赚得多太多，结果来了五个人，干了不到四十分钟，全都撂挑子坐到树底下乘凉去了，说太阳太晒，会晒伤皮肤，祖宗规矩就是正午不能干活，要等太阳落山再干活。我们想着入乡随俗那就等，结果太阳落山之后，连个人影都没见着，第二天上午好不容易来了三个，还要求必须先给汽水玉米面，不给就不动手，我们给了之后，三个人晃悠着挖了不到半米，又坐下来歇着聊天了，一聊就是一上午，第三天干脆全都不来了，托人带话来说拿到的吃的够喝够吃好几天，先回家休息，吃完了再来。
最后没办法，我们工程队自己上手，不到十天就打出了一口出水稳定的井，还给他们在井口安了简易的提水架，放了两个大木桶，跟村长说以后大家随便来打水，只要别往井里扔垃圾就行。一开始村里人可开心了，天天排着队来打水，结果半个月不到，井口就堵了，我们过去一看，大大小小的树枝石头烂叶子堵了小半井，原来大家打完水垃圾随手就扔在井口边上，下雨一冲全进去了。我们免费帮他们清干净，反复跟村长和村民说不要扔垃圾，要保持井口干净，结果不到两个月，又堵了，之后村长干脆来找我们，说井坏了，你们再帮我们打一口新的吧，那语气说得理所当然，好像我们就该天天给他们收拾烂摊子。
我之前还碰到过一次，营地的围墙坏了一段，找了四个当地工人来修，说好一天干完给对应的工钱，结果四个工人八点开工，九点就歇着喝茶，十点吃早饭，十二点要睡午觉，睡到下午三点才起来，干了不到一小时又说要回家喂孩子，一天下来只码了不到五块砖，第二天还过来要全额工钱，说我们没给他们提供茶和饼，所以干得慢，钱不能少给，当时给我们队长气得直接把他们赶走了。
待得久了我才发现，这种事真的不是个例。有个二十多岁的小伙子天天来我们营地卖野果，我们看他挺活络，就说你干脆天天给我们营地送菜，我们一个月给你固定的工钱，比你卖野果稳定多了，结果他干了三天，第四天就不见了，过了一周晃悠过来，问他为啥不来，他说前三天赚的钱够花了，在家歇着花完了再来。还有国际援助组织免费给他们发蔬菜种子，教他们开荒种地，说种好了够全村吃大半年，结果一半种子被他们煮着吃了，剩下的随便往地里一撒，既不浇水也不除草，长不出来就接着等着发援助。
真的，很多人说非洲穷是因为气候不好历史遗留问题，可我们明明看到脚底下十几米就是清水，储量够整个村子用几十年，有人免费帮你打出来，就只要随手维护一下都做不到。他们不是没有力气，跑出去找野果跳篝火舞能折腾一整天，一说到干活赚饭吃，半小时就喊累；也不是没有资源，地下水摆在那，援助摆在那，就是不肯伸手去动。
我待了八个月见过好多口废弃的援助井，全都是打完没两年没人维护废了，当地人宁愿背着水桶走三四公里去接脏雨水，也不肯花半天时间清一清堵了的井口。你说这到底是延续了几千年的靠天吃饭的生活方式已经刻进骨子里改不了，还是真的就是“懒”才导致一直摆脱不了穷呢？你怎么看这件事？

On July 26, 1944, near the northern cliffs of Saipan, an American infantry company prepared to dynamite a seaside cave.
Inside that cavern, a hundred feet down a sheer rock wall, eight armed Japanese soldiers were holding 122 Japanese women and children. They had vowed to kill everyone inside if anyone tried to surrender.
Twenty-two-year-old Technician Fourth Grade Bob Hoichi Kubo stepped forward and asked for a rope.
Born in Maui to Japanese immigrant parents, Kubo wore an American uniform. He knew no rifle squad could cover him down there. He slid a hundred feet down the cliff face alone, ducked into the dark mouth of the cave, and found eight enemy rifles aimed straight at his chest.
Kubo calmly unbuckled his .45 pistol and laid it in the dirt at their feet.
Then he sat down cross-legged on the cave floor, opened his own U.S. Army K-rations, and shared his noon meal with the starving men pointing bayonets at him.
One soldier asked how a man with Japanese blood could fight for the United States. Kubo answered quietly in Japanese that America was the land of his birth, quoting the 12th-century samurai commander Taira no Shigemori on the agony of torn duty, and begged them not to stain their honor by taking the lives of mothers and children after the battle was already lost.
For nearly two hours, they talked in the dark.
At 2:00 p.m., the American troops waiting at the top of the cliff saw the rope move. One by one, 122 gaunt women and children climbed out into the sunlight. Right behind them came all eight Japanese soldiers, surrendering peacefully without a single shot fired.
Kubo was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the U.S. Army's second-highest decoration for valor. What makes his medal almost unique in military history is how it was verified: the eyewitness affidavits recommending him were signed by the very Japanese hostages and soldiers whose lives he saved.

BREAKING!
Republican POS just betrayed every single voter who put them in office.
They snuck amnesty into a "farm" bill like nobody would notice.
H.R. 9535, “Securing Agriculture’s Workforce Act.” Sponsored by Glenn Thompson. Over 50 Republicans signed on.
The bill creates an H-2A pathway for current "unauthorized" agricultural workers. That’s people who are here illegally right now.
Same 💩 they pulled in 1986. Voters told them no. They did it anyway.
Trump better VETO this crap!

For too long, Washington treated America’s industrial decline as inevitable. President Trump recognized that it was the result of policy choices—and therefore reversible. The sector’s renewed momentum following @POTUS’s trade policy reset and the enactment of his historic tax cuts demonstrates that the right policies can reverse decades of industrial decline.
American manufacturing is gaining momentum on every front.
The sector has expanded for ten consecutive months and added 101,000 jobs so far this year. Output rose again in September, while job openings climbed to 584,000—the highest non-Covid-era reading on record.

Dr. Oz gets personal, sharing what it’s like as a doctor to watch the last bit of hope disappear from a patient’s eyes when there are no treatment options left.
He says exploring new treatments is about giving those patients something they desperately need: REAL hope.
“I know what it’s like to look someone in the eyes who does not have another choice and take away whatever little hope they had.”
“That firsthand experience connecting people with groundbreaking new therapies changed my life, allowed me to find energy in the practice of medicine.”
“And many right now are looking for new therapies.”
“It is maybe the most important thing we do in healthcare, to give people hope, Real hope.”
“Not false hope, but building on the kinds of insights that are currently available and not ignoring them with an old fashioned paradigm that wasn’t working anymore for their well being.”

“Well it’s a woke moment at Bass Pro today. I was in the area and needed some ammunition All was well until checkout when I was asked for my PAL and my drivers license. I handed my PAL over and asked why I needed to further prove myself with a drivers license. The cashier was good said it was a new law and they needed my address and other information. I asked him who I could speak to about this and went to customer service. The nice lady Sandra asked how she could help and I explained that my PAL is government issued and vetted by the RCMP and there is no need for my drivers license as well. Anyone coming here can get a drivers licence. I took a course,wrote tests, had criminal records check and have been vetted. She said in Sept the federal government added policy to request a drivers license as well. I asked her if this was LAW to require this extra step. She repeated it was policy and that BASS PRO is implementing this policy.
There you have it. I can buy my ammo at a number of alternative places which do not require the license only PAL and I will be purchasing from these vendors from now on.
BASS PRO has decided to pander to the liberal agenda instead of standing against government overreach. I’m sure they realize that the large majority of Firearms owners are Conservatives but have chosen to stand on the other side of this fight.
Good luck BASS PRO and please pass this along and join the silent protest of NOT purchasing ammo from this retailer.”

This is almost unbelievable. But it's true.
The 1986 vaccine law that gave vaccine makers immunity from damages their vaccines cause... ordered the government through HHS to report to Congress every two years on what it had done to make childhood vaccines safer.
First report due: December 1989.
When was the first report filed?
HHS admitted in court it never filed one.
Not once.
In forty years.
That same law gave manufacturers protection from lawsuits, even when their products caused "unavoidable" injury. Of course *that* part of the law was followed from the very start.
Because of deep flaws in this 1986 law, Vaccine Safety Research Foundation is working to repeal it.

An American told me to have a garage sale.
I had moved into a smaller place. I had too many things.
I did not know what I was agreeing to.
I spent an entire Friday putting small orange stickers on items. Three dollars. Five dollars. One dollar for the rice cooker. My handwriting was neat. My categories were honest.
Nobody looked at a sticker all day.
The first woman arrived at 6:14 in the morning. The sale was supposed to start at eight. She came up the driveway in the dark with a flashlight and a cup of coffee from somewhere.
She did not say hello.
She said, "Is this five?"
She was holding the lamp.
I said yes.
She said, "Would you take three?"
She did not haggle. She stated a number. She waited, with absolute patience.
In my country this would be a duel. In this country it was a formality we both already knew the ending to.
I said four.
She said three fifty.
She paid me a crumpled bill and two quarters and left with the lamp before I had finished saying okay.
By nine there were twelve strangers in my yard. By eleven there were forty. Grown men squatted on my concrete, examining my tools in the sun with the focus of priests reading scrolls.
One man bought a wrench I had used three times in my life. He examined it for seven minutes.
Then he said, "Good wrench."
He said it the way a man gives a blessing. It is a good wrench. I know this now. I did not know it when I owned it.
A woman came out of the garage carrying a box. In it were four Christmas ornaments, a cast iron skillet, and a framed photograph of a family I did not recognize.
I told her the photograph was not for sale.
She looked at it. She said, "Honey, this isn't yours either."
I looked. It was a photograph of my wife's cousin's wedding, which had been in a drawer for seven years. I had never opened the drawer.
She paid for the skillet and the ornaments and left.
I mailed the photograph the next day.
In the afternoon a man in a very clean truck offered me sixty dollars for a bicycle I had marked at a hundred. He did not negotiate. He named his number and stood still.
I accepted. He loaded the bicycle without a word.
I have since learned he does this every Saturday. There is, I am told, a garage somewhere full of his bicycles. Nobody knows what he does with them. Nobody asks.
At five o'clock, as I was folding the table, another man pulled up in a pickup truck.
He said, "What's going to the curb?"
I pointed at a pile.
He took it. All of it. Without inspecting a single item. He thanked me as he loaded it, as though I had done him a favor. I understand he is a kind of profession, though nobody has ever paid him, and nobody has ever seen his house.
The last customer was a girl of about nine. She had three quarters in her palm.
She pointed at a stuffed rabbit with a sticker that said one dollar.
She said, "How much is it?"
I looked at her three quarters.
I said, "Today it is seventy five cents."
She did not smile. She paid me, took the rabbit by one ear, and walked back to her mother with the dignity of a merchant who had closed a fair deal.
I made one hundred and seventy two dollars.
I gave away what I had meant to throw away.
I returned a photograph I had been carrying across two moves without knowing it was there.
The next morning the house across the street had a cardboard sign staked into the yard.
YARD SALE. NEXT SATURDAY. 8 AM. NO EARLY BIRDS.
I will be there at six fourteen.

Rep. Tim Burchett says the Senate is still blocking his bill to stop the roughly $40–45 million a week the U.S. sends to the Taliban. He identifies Senate Foreign Relations Committee democrat staffer Tom West, the former Biden Afghanistan envoy, as the main obstacle.
Burchett notes that the Trump administration and Tulsi Gabbard revoked West’s security clearance in 2025 over concerns about his ties to the Taliban. With the national debt past $38 trillion, he wants people to call their senators and demand a vote.

Liberals are trying to cancel an American Cattle Farmer simply because he might have voted for Donald Trump
There is no evidence the man voted Red or Blue, but because he won’t say who he voted for and instead focus on the need for farmers in America, the Left takes that an admission and is attempting to destroy his business
The farm is Mason Hills Farm
It was founded by Joseph Mason in Grand Bay, Alabama in 2020, the farm raises 100% Black Angus cattle across 200+ acres of pasture
He founded the farm because he believes Americans should know where their food comes from, it should be safe, and shouldn’t be imported
But because he might have voted for Donald Trump, liberals are doing everything possible to ruin his new businesses
We can’t coexist with people like this

Dear @LeaderJohnThune,
Why did you BLOCK Trump's recess appointments?
Why are there 700+ bills waiting in the Senate?
Why did you take MONTHS-LONG vacations?
Did you pass the SAVE AMERICA Act?
Did defund the Taliban?
No, you didn't.
You failed the American people, miserably.
