Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie details how she saved taxpayers $33 MILLION by forgoing new uniforms, a cold plunge and massage tables and NOT getting logos printed all over everything.
This completely shuts down Grady Judd and Greg Tony’s bullshit.
“We are paying the county $54 million a year for IT services. Through closer supervision and careful review of spending, we brought that down to $42 million, a $12 million annual savings without reducing services. And as we work toward managing our own technology independently, we project another $6 to $7 million in annual savings, bringing that cost down to approximately $35 to $36 million.
That's an $18 to $19 million in annual IT savings already achieved or projected. Personnel, eliminating the county's Sargent-at-Arms program will save approximately $4.1 million annually and return those deputies to core law enforcement functions. We have also adjusted patrol schedules to improve coverage and reduce the need for overtime through better scheduling.
Uniforms and vehicles. Keeping our existing brown uniforms, instead of changing to green, avoided approximately $4.8 million in costs. Updating graphics on approximately 1,700 existing white vehicles, instead of repainting them, avoided another $5.7 million.
These two practical decisions alone account for $10.5 million. Our purchasing and operating, buying office supplies directly from the vendor that the county uses, saved us approximately $200,000 annually. Through a state cooperative contract, we are also obtaining fuel incentives and rebates of up to $0.15 per gallon, maintenance discounts of up to 20% from participating providers and discounting on our tire replacements.
Together, the items we have quantified represent approximately $32.8 to $33.8 million in savings and avoided costs, including the changes that we are still processing. Fuel, maintenance, and scheduling efficiencies add further savings beyond that total. And we are only getting started.”
The argument that government should get out of the way of billionaires and allow them to trample our rights in the name of free enterprise is ridiculous.
Governor DeSantis understands that government exists to PROTECT people from these billionaire AI weirdos and so does Abdul.

America can never lose sight of the fact that Israel is the good guy and that Qatar and Iran, including its proxies Hamas and Hezbollah, are the bad guys who chant “Death to America!”
Our partnership with Israel is the model of how America First alliances should operate to advance the economic and national security of the United States 🇺🇸
Americans are sick of being put on the back burner while Israel gets all our money.
Whichever party puts the needs of Americans FIRST will win.
I'm a doctor and a dad. I rebuilt Detroit's health department, led Wayne County's Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services. We put glasses on kids, took on corporate polluters, eliminated medical debt.
I'm running because it just shouldn't be this hard to get by in the richest country in the world.
Byron Donalds calls David Jolly “angry Jolly” while Byron repeatedly blows his top and starts yelling at his audience.
Watch all the times Byron has flown into a rage.

Byron Donalds says he’s a “pretty even keeled, relaxed guy who doesn’t get too hot or cold”.
Not from the footage I’ve seen.
Roll tape,

Iran is the war Trump literally promised he would never start.
Replying to @grantstern
He’s telling us his plan to make life more affordable for small business owners.
The answer is easy: End the Iran War!
NONE of these idiots chanting USA at me supported bombing Iran before Trump told them to.

In August, Trump claimed Iran had killed over 100,000 protesters.
Today, he claims Iran killed 75,000 protesters.
So either 25,000 protesters have magically come back to life… or—and let’s spitball for a second—Trump is lying.

This is the most important decision in the race for #FLGOV. Byron Donalds is already bought and paid for by lobbyists (insurance, data centers, private equity) and he'll continue Tallahassee's corruption.

By “antisemitism in schools” she means her daughter’s school organized a bake sale for Palestinian charities in November 2023 and when she threw a fit and forced the school to agree that all proceeds be split equally between Palestinian and Israeli charities the other parents voted to cancel the whole thing altogether.

The Iran war is going so great that the neocons are telling Trump to just channel Bush even harder……
Amazing stuff.

We need constitutional amendments to fix America, starting with ending presidential immunity and overturning Citizens United.
