Asked recently what my goal is now, this nonagenarian responded, “The same as when first born again, i.e. to manifest the reconciliation of man to God, to expand God’s family.” Jesus said in the greatest book ever to be written, not to be superseded, “Ye must be born again.” That means get priorities straight, make Jesus Lord and Savior.  Doing this gives a peace that passes all understanding, ensuring a home in eternity with Him, Creator of heaven and earth!  Experiencing the new birth is the most important decision one can make.

Thanks for your mock election article. Navarre high schoolers exhibited more sense than college student protestors.                

If you wanted to destroy a country, what actions would be taken? First, disrupt and destroy the history and culture through relentless attacks resulting in the destruction of the common bond among its people. Second, determine the strength of the country’s economy and attack that element. Cheap energy has been the foundation of our economy. Third, convert from a dependable source of energy to one that is not dependable, using false justification (climate change). Forth, destroy the country’s sovereignty by compromising its borders; therefore, allowing enemies of the country to enter to ferment unrest and terror. Fifth, make as many people as possible dependent on another’s work for their subsistence (welfare). Fifty six percent of the 30 million illegal immigrants are on public assistance. Sixth, promote success on identity not merit (DEI). Seventh, allow non-citizens to vote.

What in the world is happening with HWY 98 reconstruction. These people dig out everything created chaos and left. There is almost no progress in last two years. This is unbelievable sloppiness and chaos. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable. I lost three windshields due to stones on HWY98. Whoever is in charge should bring company from China to finish job in two weeks.

As interim State Commissioner, Pam Stewart keeps reiterating, there’s a difference between curriculum and standards.  The author of an article written on Thursday, August 8th, wrote as if they are one in the same.  Supplementing lessons plans with standards isn’t accurate.  You would instead supplement the curriculum with Common Core aligned curriculum.  Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are nationalized standards that every student will have to master while curriculum is the material being taught.

I just returned from and enjoyable trip to Italy. I was struck by the lack of homeless people and beggars as compared to our country. I did encounter a few homeless people but not like it is here at home. The opposite used to be true.

“Here in Santa Rosa County, we, and all of our neighbors in the gateway to Florida, find ourselves facing an alarming and distressing challenge – a fentanyl crisis is knocking at our door and making it the epicenter of overdose incidents within the state. The severity of this crisis has taken a devastating toll, with a sharp rise in overdoses and a grim reality: most people who use fentanyl in our area do not survive.

I have lived in Florida for more than 5 decades. The Pembroke Pines home I grew up in was built without air conditioning. (My dad did add 3 individual A/C units that we used sparingly. Neither of the bedrooms I used had its own unit.) I regularly went to summer camp in Avon Park, Florida; there was no air conditioning in the cabins, mess hall, arts and crafts building or the gymnasium.

God bless Rabbi Danow of Temple Beth El and Chabad Center, Pensacola Jewish Community. His attitude toward the vandals and unwillingness to retaliate are commendable! Shame on all anti Semites.
