I believe in tax relief. I have fought for it my entire career. But there is a profound difference between thoughtful tax relief and what is being proposed in Tallahassee right now. Eliminating property taxes is not a tax cut. It is a tax shift that could cost Miami-Dade nearly $697 million over two years, putting Fire Rescue, Jackson Health, Libraries, Parks, Transit, and other essential services at risk for the 2.7 million residents who rely on them every day. Miami-Dade and all Floridians deserve better.

Let me get this straight - In 1913, zero American families paid income tax. - In 2025, every family paid income tax, and about 2/3rds of it just covered fraud. We have become a tax-farm for politicians to enrich themselves and anyone who they can import to vote for them

this is shocking: > US collects $2.4T in income tax, but spends $1.5T on fraud > if we didn't have to pay for fraud, only $900b would need to be collected > this means anyone with less 500k in income could pay *literally $0* in income tax we don't need to raise taxes. we need to cut fraud

Today I was talking to a few girls in their early 20s about men and relationships.
 All single. All beautiful. 
All saying the same thing: “Well…I don’t want to settle.” So I asked them, gently: “Do you know what self-sacrifice actually means in a relationship?” They couldn’t answer. 
Not because they’re dumb. 
but because no one ever taught them what it really is. I told them: Self-sacrifice is simply choosing something long-term over something easy right now. 
And that choice is always a form of settling. Because here’s the truth no one tells them: You’re going to settle no matter what you do. If you wait for the “perfect” man, you still end up settling. You just settle later, after wasting years on a fantasy that never existed. 
If you choose a good man who’s still building, you settle now. Either way, life will ask you to trade something. 
There is no strategy that lets you dodge that reality. I explained: “If you meet a man who doesn’t have everything today but has character, direction, and the desire to build a life with you, that’s not losing. 
That’s choosing a different starting line.” What looks like “settling” in the short term often becomes long-term stability, loyalty, and shared growth. 
Just like every real relationship that lasts. They stared at me like I had just handed them a missing page from a book they’d been trying to read their whole lives. 
That silent, wide-eyed “Oh…that actually makes sense” moment. Then they asked: “How do you know all this?” I told them: “Twenty-five years of marriage teaches you things the world never will. 
It shows you that life isn’t about avoiding settling. 
It’s about choosing self-sacrifice that leads to a future you’re proud of
not one you regret when it’s too late.
