THANK YOU, HEROES for Defending Our Country! I LOVE YOU!
As many of you know, with the new redistricting, Congressman Gus Bilirakis will be representing our district through December. We have a new champion in Congress that will be on the ballot for Citrus County this November, Congresswoman Laurel Lee.
For those of you that have yet to meet her, she is a POWERHOUSE to our community. She’s a former federal prosecutor and circuit judge and a profound supporter of President Trump’s legislation. Congressman Gus Bilirakis has ensured us at his campaign kickoff that she will be a fighter just as he is. He even had her give opening remarks about his style of leadership, what it’s like to work with him, and that he measures his success by his ability to provide results for his constituents.
It was truly an honor to be at such a momentous occasion and while I am a strong supporter of Gus Bilirakis, I am also excited to welcome Congresswoman Laurel Lee to our community with open arms and great enthusiasm.
When you cast your vote this November, Remember to vote for LAUREL LEE! Gus has assured me that he will still be available and work with our community and Laurel Lee.
Sincerely,
Elaine T Kleid

Donalds Votes to Ban Congressional Insider Trading and Secure the Ballot Box
WASHINGTON – Yesterday, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) voted to pass a legislative package combining the Stop Insider Trading Act and the Voter ID Act, which bars members of Congress from purchasing new individual stocks and seeks to secure our federal elections with common-sense, nationwide Voter ID.
“We are putting an end to self-enrichment in the halls of Congress. If you are elected to serve the people, your focus should be on your constituents, not your personal stock portfolio,” said Congressman Byron Donalds. “I am proud to stand with my Republican colleagues in the House to ban congressional insider trading and secure our federal elections with common-sense, nationwide Voter ID.”
Background on H.R.7008 – “The Stop Insider Trading Act”:
Passed the U.S. House of Representatives with a vote of 232-198.
The Stop Insider Trading Act, sponsored by the House Committee on Administration, was introduced on January 12, 2026. The Stop Insider Trading Act bans Members of Congress and their immediate families from purchasing individual stocks and forces them to provide public notice 7 to 14 days before selling existing assets, with strict financial penalties for any violations.

Protecting Children, Investing in Healthcare, and Supporting Veterans
Dear Neighbors,
This week, I had the opportunity to meet with families, veterans, healthcare leaders, and advocates who are making a difference in our communities. From highlighting efforts to combat online sextortion and support victims’ families, to showcasing world-class cancer research and honoring those who have served our nation, these conversations reinforced the importance of working together to strengthen Florida’s 15th Congressional District and improve lives across the country.
Highlights from This Week
Joined NewsNation alongside Tamia and Tim Woods to discuss the James T Woods Act and raise awareness about the growing threat of online sextortion
Welcomed Dr. Mehmet Oz to Florida’s 15th Congressional District for a visit to Moffitt Cancer Center and Abby’s Market to discuss medical innovation, nutrition, and improving patient care.
Welcomed Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins to Florida’s 15th Congressional District to tour Zephyrhills Museum of Military History accompanied by veterans and community leaders.
Protecting Children From Online Predators
Featured in PBS Frontline’s Baby Brokers
Recently, PBS Frontline premiered its documentary, Baby Brokers, which examines the challenges and gaps in oversight within America’s domestic adoption system. I was honored to participate in the documentary and discuss my work to strengthen protections for children and families through the bipartisan ADOPT Act.
As a former family court judge, I have seen firsthand how important it is to ensure every adoption is handled with transparency, integrity, and the best interests of the child at the center of every decision. The ADOPT Act would strengthen oversight of unlicensed adoption intermediaries, improve accountability, and help protect birth parents, adoptive families, and children from exploitation.

Dear Fellow Floridian,
This week, Dr. Anthony Fauci finally appeared before the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to be questioned on his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Dr. Fauci’s documentation of his experience during the COVID pandemic make clear that while his “guidance” forced millions of Americans to be locked down and families forced to watched loved ones die over FaceTime, he was obsessed with his growing fame and newfound celebrity status.
You can watch my questioning of Dr. Fauci by clicking on the picture below.
Even though he got an autopen pardon from the Biden White House, Dr. Fauci refused to answer a single question during the hearing, including dozens of questions from me about destroying public records, lying to the American people, and giving special treatment to Bill Gates. The American people deserve answers for everything: the lockdowns, the mandates, the destroyed livelihoods, the kids not in school, and loved ones forced to die alone.
Dr. Fauci destroyed the federal government’s credibility when it comes to public health. We have entire generations of Americans who now do not trust our institutions to keep people safe because of his lies and failures. His actions destroyed decades of institutional progress and lifetimes of work because he wanted to fuel his own ego and be the center of attention.
I won’t stop demanding accountability and am hopeful that next week my fellow HSGAC members will vote to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress so he can be prosecuted.
I will keep fighting every day for transparency and to restore trust in our country’s public health institutions.
Sincerely,
Rick Scott

“Some recognize the mysteries around us and want to probe them and understand them, while others are content with the static reality they have boxed themselves in. However, it is the curiosity of skeptical minds that seek the path of truth, knowledge, and understanding and with this comes wisdom. These are the gifted souls that are remembered for advancing civilization...”
Author CS Bennett
*************************
THE DYNAMICS OF CREATION
Genesis 2: 7 “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
The average human body contains thirty trillion cells. Blood cells, bones, skin, organs and many other body parts, from toenails to hair, are made up of cells.
The average cell contains over one-hundred trillion atoms. An atom is the smallest part of an element that can exist and retain its identity. An atom has a nucleus in which there are protons (positively charged particles) and neutrons, neutral particles.
Genesis 2: 1 “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.” Many of us take this verse to mean that all the matter to be created at that time had been created by God. All the atoms God was to create were “finished.” There would be no more or no less!
The first physics law of thermodynamics supports this scriptural statement. That law is known as the “law of the conservation of energy.” By that law, energy cannot be created or destroyed, it simply changes state.
Some modify this law by adding matter to energy (conservation of matter and energy). In such a case, all the matter (atoms) that were to be created had been created as implied by Genesis 2: 1.
By considering these factors concerning atoms, matter and energy we can determine God is not only the Creator but also the Recycler and Reciprocator. We seem to think recycling plastics, metals, glass and many other substances is an invention of man but God was doing it billions of years before man thought of it.
All of those atoms in your body have existed for billions of years. They just happen to be making up your physical body at this time. After you die those atoms of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, zinc, iron, magnesium and many others will continue to exist in some other place/object.
The Bible states very certainly that water is one of those many substances that is continually recycled. Ecclesiastes 1: 7 is a description of the hydrologic cycle on earth. The rain falls, evaporates (from our bodies, earth or the oceans) into a vapor, is carried over the earth and falls as rain again.
Ecclesiastes 1: 7 “All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.” This was written by King Solomon 3000 years ago. He knew little about the geometry, orbit or size or shape of the earth.
Only God could have provided Solomon with such information. Ecclesiastes 1: 6 tells us about the atmospheric movements and how that keeps the air in motion mixing the oxygen created in forests and fields on the earth.
Genesis 1: 1-3 partially describes the process of photosynthesis. God, having carbon based matter (the earth), water and light was able to create life sustaining oxygen by photosynthesis which produces chlorophyll (the green substance in plants). A by-product of chlorophyll production is oxygen.
The green plants on earth produce oxygen, animals breathe and produce carbon dioxide. This amazing reciprocating process sustains life on our little green and blue planet.
I fully believe those that claim the Bible is “just another book,” have not read it or taken time to consider how much God knew millennia before man discovered that information.
Isaiah 40: 22 told man the earth was round, twenty-two hundred years before Columbus discovered the Western Hemisphere. “It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.”
Jeremiah 33: 22 states “the stars are without number” which simply means there are too many to be counted. With the launching of space telescopes by NASA, (Hubble, 1990 and James Webb, 2021), astronomers are now telling us there are too many stars in the galaxy and certainly in the universe to ever count.
Jeremiah wrote that verse twenty-three hundred years before Galileo used the first telescope. Let’s face the fact, God knows more than many give Him credit for.
This may sound a little complicated but we must understand (whether we fully understand it or not) God is the creator of all things and that must be the bare essential of our understanding.
Something could not have come from nothing. Science verifies there is no such thing as spontaneous generation (something coming from nothing).
The second law of thermodynamics confirms order could not have developed from chaos (entropy). There is absolutely nothing to prove or even suggest that life could have evolved from non-life. It just simply could not have happened!
God has also told us in the Holy Bible that we are spiritual beings (Genesis 1: 27, Acts 19: 2-6, 1 Corinthians 6: 19) and that our spirit will live eternally. Daniel 12: 2 “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake to everlasting life.”
We must always teach that eternal salvation is attained by a faith based belief (Ephesians 2: 8) in Christ Jesus crucified (Matthew 27: 35) for the remission of sin (1 John 1: 9), resurrected (Matthew 28: 6) and ascended alive in to Heaven (Acts 1: 9).
