Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Awards Over $10 Million In Infrastructure Funds To Sarasota County. This will enhance water quality and protect from erosion, storms, and flooding in  Bay Park and surrounding communities. The funds will be given through the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity’s (DEO) Rebuild Florida Mitigation General Infrastructure Program. After awarding the funding DeSantis said:

“Utilizing funding to make meaningful impacts on Florida communities is an important step we can take towards mitigating storm damage,”

“The Sarasota community is better protected because of these projects at Bay Park, and I will continue to work with Secretary Eagle to make sure that communities in need are receiving funding and that our state investments make the biggest impact possible.”

The Sarasota will use funds received from the Department of Economic Opportunity to make improvements at Bay Park in the City of Sarasota. Projects funded through this grant include water quality improvements to Hog’s Creek to restore the natural stream, the elevation of Van Wezel Way to protect against flooding, and major shoreline improvements to create a natural shoreline. These projects will enhance the resiliency of the park and surrounding areas against storm damage and mitigate damage that could be caused by a major storm impacting the Sarasota coast.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Speaks Out About Calling Biden A 'Liar' During The State Of The Union

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr In a video released to social media, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) slammed President Biden's State of the Union address and defended calling him a "liar." Last night, President Joe Biden delivered his State of the Union address to the nation. While many tuned in to hear the President's plans for the future, some were left frustrated by his speaking style. According to some reports, Biden was difficult to understand at times due to his tendency to yell and mumble through applause. One major topic discussed by the President was the ongoing issue of fentanyl deaths, which have become the number one cause of death for young people between the ages of 18 and 45. However, President Biden faced criticism for not having the plan to secure the border and for wanting the border open. In addition to the border crisis, President Biden also talked about the fast food industry and the non-compete fees faced by compan...

President Trump explains more about his new social media site "Truth Social" | Latest Statement on TMTG

  Photo "Donald Trump" by  Dan Scavino Latest Statement on TMTG by the 45th President Donald J. Trump Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country. America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, or go against the tide. Yet suddenly, we find ourselves being censored and dictated to by a small group of self-righteous scolds and self-appointed arbiters of what everyone else is allowed to think, say, share, and do. Nowhere is this censorship more dangerous and brazen than on social media, the public square of our times. We have seen renowned medical doctors being banned from platforms for contradicting “health author...
