It was an honor to celebrate @PolkState's graduates from the Kenneth C. Thompson Institute of Public Safety's Law Enforcement Academy.
Thank you to @PolkCoSheriff Grady Judd for his partnership and trust in our College to produce highly skilled professionals who are dedicated to protecting our community.
Congratulations to our newest law enforcement officers. We are proud, #WeArePolk!
A strong, single mother that raised a perfect daughter in @melaniesgriffin. Although she lived a full life of service to others, she’s gone too soon.
Reminder that every day here is a blessing.

Great pick up by the @SouthernGroupFL. Jack’s service in the @GovRonDeSantis admin was exemplary. He will be a big asset to Southern’s clients for years to come.
That’s correct.
One has the right to champion CRT/DEI as a private citizen. One does not have the right to commandeer public institutions to advance that agenda.
Proud of my home state—thanks to the leadership of @RonDeSantis & @FLACommerce—now leading the nation to expand work-based learning opportunities for critical occupations for our nation’s defense and maritime industrial base. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎉
Below are some of the precepts of CRT/DEI that Florida law rejected. The 11th Circuit claims its a 1st Amendment requirement that such nonsense be taught in public universities. What a joke.
Judge Barbara Lagoa issued a strong dissent against the 11th Circuit panel’s decision that purports to stop Florida from eliminating woke indoctrination from state universities.
She correctly calls out the majority opinion for attempting to transfer the power to determine the proper curriculum at state universities from those elected by the people to unelected federal judges.
That is a complete non-starter.
I am honored to begin this journey alongside our students, faculty, staff and community partners. Education transformed my life, and I know firsthand the opportunities it can create. It opens doors, creates possibilities and empowers individuals to achieve the American Dream. This belief will guide my service as President of @PolkState College.
President Grant’s proclamation commemorating America’s centennial celebration:
“I therefore invite the good people of the United States, on the approaching 4th day of July, in addition to the usual observances with which they are accustomed to greet the return of the day, further, in such manner and at such time as in their respective localities and religious associations may be most convenient, to mark its recurrence by some public religious and devout thanksgiving to Almighty God for the blessings which have been bestowed upon us as a nation during the century of our existence, and humbly to invoke a continuance of His favor and of His protection.”
Happy Fourth of July!
America’s 250th Anniversary — a milestone that reflects the courage, sacrifice, and vision that launched the world’s greatest experiment in self-government.
Today, we celebrate the birth of the greatest nation in the world and the freedoms that make the American Dream possible.
As we gather with family and friends, we remember the courage, sacrifice and vision of those who secured our independence 250 years ago.
One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Wishing all Floridians a safe and happy Independence Day.
The vote to cut ties with Great Britain and the approval and later signing of the Declaration of Independence represented the ultimate line in the sand.
The penalty for failure = execution for treason.
