Two things will take place with one speech to be delivered at approximately 11:00 this morning. One is a beginning, and the other will mark the end of an era. Florida’s 60-day fast and furious legislative session will begin at the conclusion of Governor DeSantis’ State-of-the-State address – which will also be his last. 

It’ll likely be a while before final determinations in this case are made, and longer still, likely years, before any potential defamation suits/judgements would be reached. 

While the governor will state his case with his final State-of-the-State address today, Florida’s top independent watchdog, Florida TaxWatch, has outlined their top  Taxpayer Priorities  for this year’s session.

The news just keeps getting better  No, there’s not any sarcasm behind that statement. And yes, taken at face value when juxtaposed to many of the headlines out there coming out the weekend.

Right, so last week what played out in Venezuela is a microcosm of how so-called experts/analysts continue to get it wrong when it comes to the meaningful impact of President Trump’s policies. A week ago, fears of the U.S. being at war with Venezuela, transition uncertainly and concerns of an oil production collapse that would surely lead to higher prices over the near-term, were to be found with...

What’s working? All of it. What’s all of it? Trump’s economic policy. Trump’s foreign policy. Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown. All of it. Let me start on the economic side. 

Any specific outcomes would be speculative but for example I could see various possibles including the Supreme Court allowing for the President’s use of reciprocal tariffs. This has been done by presidents throughout history including Trump in his first term without issue. You might recall that Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs were said to be reciprocal, however in reality were across the board fo...

As we reflect on those we’ve lost, please remember the families of our fallen as well. The average age of the fallen is 41; the average tour-of-duty is 12 years. In addition to losing 90 law enforcement professionals in the line-of-duty this year, there are 58 widows and 140 children who’ve lost a parent. Remember to back the badge and spread the word. They need us just as much as we need them. 

Based on what we continue to see and hear out of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota – A) who is surprised by the scope of the Somali daycare scandal? – B) outright lawlessness is being advocated by public officials. 

As it sits now – with Greenland still accepting of its “semi-autonomous” status, any negotiation would have to involve Denmark as they still have established ties in the areas Greenland outsources to Denmark as a lose consideration as part of their kingdom.
