I just returned from an 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.

Can anybody doubt we are living in a “Wicked and perverse generation” described in the Bible, the greatest book ever written, never to be superseded?

On 21 June, at 3 p.m., my prayer pal and I were compelled to pray for the Titan to be found. Why? Because we know that God is omniscient. He performs miracles daily! This time we prayed for an unusual miracle in light of the two recent ones, i.e., the four children found in the jungle after 40 days and the scary one of the two men sucked through the drain under the ground emerging alive on the other side.

Moms for Liberty, MFL, is an organization devoted to maintaining good citizenship and high standards. Recent attack by a Santa Rosa County democrat party official calling the group a hate group is in fact hate. Hate for country and irresponsible behavior is for the democrat party standard operation procedure.

Preserve Navarre, for the last two and a half years, has been involved in informing our residents and businesses about the path to incorporation for the City of Navarre Beach. We have held monthly meetings, member socials, presentations to Navarre Beach Leaseholders and to Navarre Beach Area Chambers of Commerce Board.

I thank God that I live in Florida where we have government that is moral and believes in the founding principles of our country: freedom to live with limited involvement by the government and belief in the Bill of Rights as stated in the Constitution of the United States.

Tallahassee – This week, Florida TaxWatch (FTW) released Using Public-Private Partnerships and Public-Public Partnerships to Meet the Growing Demands for Public Infrastructure, a report highlighting the opportunity for increased private sector investment in Florida’s critical public infrastructure.
