Message from Governor Ron
DeSantis on the FBI Raid at Mar-a-Lago:
"The raid of Mar-a-Lago
is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against
the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get
treated with kid gloves. Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS
agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana
Republic."
Chairman's Message:
Governor DeSantis
Announces New Opioid Recovery Program
Governor
DeSantis announced the expansion of a new, piloted substance abuse and
recovery network to battle the opioid epidemic. The Coordinated Opioid
Recovery (CORE) program is the first of its kind in the nation,
coordinated through the state’s Department of Health, Department of
Children and Families, and the Agency for Health Care Administration.
Governor DeSantis also announced the appointment of Dr. Courtney
Phillips as the first Statewide Director of Opioid Recovery.
“Biden’s
border crisis has caused a massive infusion of drugs coming into our
state,” Governor DeSantis said. “This year we increased the penalties
for individuals trafficking drugs in our state, and now we are giving
Floridians the tools they need to break the substance abuse
cycle.”

FLORIDA
Florida’s Fight
Against Woke Corporations
PayPal is
part of the growing woke corporate structure that Florida is fighting
against under Governor DeSantis’ leadership, and they struck again
last week, this time against Florida-based Moms for
Liberty.
Governor
DeSantis tweeted out: “Last week Tina Descovich, Co-Founder of Moms
for Liberty, shared that PayPal locked their account and withheld
funds with no warning or justification. Days after our event, their
funds were released. Florida has put WOKE banking on
notice.”
The most
recent steps taken by the Governor were a series of protections for
Floridians from the environmental, social and corporate governance
(ESG) movement that threatens the vitality of the American economy and
Americans’ economic freedom by targeting disfavored individuals and
industries to advance a woke ideological agenda.
Previously,
Governor DeSantis signed HB 7 into law giving businesses, employees,
children and families more tools to stand up to against discrimination
and woke indoctrination. The law:
- Aims to
prevent discriminatory instruction in the workplace and in public
schools;
- Defines
individual freedoms based on the fundamental truth that all
individuals are equal before the law and have inalienable rights;
and
- Is the
first of its kind in the nation to take on both corporate wokeness and
critical race theory in schools in one act.

Senator Rubio
Condemns Biden’s China Connection
Senator
Rubio wrote a guest column for Fox News slamming Joe Biden’s
connections to China and very favorable policies for the communist
regime:
"Beijing Biden" is beginning to seem an
appropriate nickname.
No, I am not talking about Hunter, but the
"Big Guy" himself.
President Joe Biden struck a tough tone on
China during his first address to Congress. Puffing out his chest,
Biden bragged that he told China’s Marxist dictator the United States
"will defend America’s interests across the board." But 15 months
later, it is increasingly clear the president’s policies are helping
Beijing far more than Scranton—even as China threatens the U.S.
Speaker of the House with military force.
Just look at what is happening in Congress
this week.
With Biden’s blessing, Senate Democrats will
vote to give massive tax breaks for electric batteries, solar panels,
and wind turbines manufactured in China. The taxes are part of the
Democrats’ so-called "Inflation Reduction Act," a 725-page boondoggle
that will increase taxes by hundreds of billions of dollars in the
middle of a recession they created.

Attorney
General Moody Announces Formation of Nationwide Anti-Robocall Task
Force
Attorney
General Ashley Moody announced this week a new Anti-Robocall
Litigation Task Force that will investigate scammers operating outside
of the United States. Florida serves on the executive committee of the
task force that consists of 50 attorneys general focusing on
telecommunications companies that are responsible for bringing the
majority of foreign robocalls into the United States. The new task
force has one goal: to cut down on illegal robocalls.
“My office
is working with states across the nation to stop the influx of illegal
robocalls originating overseas,” Attorney General Moody said. “These
calls are often used to execute devious scams and steal from
Americans—so it’s important that we work together to investigate these
foreign phone calls and find ways to stop them from harming our
citizens.”

CFO Jimmy
Patronis Announces Eight Arrests in Manatee County Unlicensed Contractor
Sting
Chief
Financial Officer (CFO) Jimmy Patronis announced this week the arrest
of eight unlicensed contractors in Manatee County.
The joint
operation between CFO Patronis’ fraud detectives and the Manatee
County Sheriff’s Office was launched to deal with unlicensed
contractors who were both working without a required contractor
license and doing construction work without having workers'
compensation insurance or a workers’ compensation insurance
exemption.
“Performing
construction work without workers’ compensation insurance and the
required contractor licenses is not only illegal, but dangerous,” CFO
Jimmy Patronis said. “Taking advantage of hard-working Floridians just
to save a few bucks is despicable and puts customers and employees at
risk.
