Florida State Motto

State Mottos 1 Minute

“In God We Trust” was adopted by the Florida legislature as part of the state seal in 1868. This is also the motto of the United States and is a slight variation on Florida’s first state motto, “In God is our Trust.” In 2006, “In God We Trust” was officially designated in state statute as Florida’s motto.

  1. well you always ask for a story soooooo

    The neighbor gets a goat (he’s housing it…long story) first the thing escapes and runs all over the neighborhood. Everyone is chasing it as well as animal control and police. Anyway I go over the next day to see it. It’s really cute. Brown and white. It sniffed the dog. Nose to nose. It really wanted to play with my beagle As I’m looking at this thing my thought yet again turns to ‘it looks like a sheep not a goat’. Even from far away. Then there’s the grass loving. And the sound. I call my neighbor… you sure it’s a goat? Get a call 30 minutes later ‘oh my god kea your right it’s a freaking sheep.’ So apparently the owner (not the neighbor housing it) they bought it thinking it’s a goat which is actually a sheep, Yes I figured it out 😎 🐐 vs 🐑

    2. Good morning, Pat! I’m guessing the new “report” flag is something WP has instituted – it’s @ M’s blog, too. Wheezer came in not long after I got up, ate and departed again. It’s 60 here this morning and windy, of course! A “stray thunderstorm” is possible this afternoon; low 80’s predicted today but up to 89 tomorrow and afternoon thunderstorms Sat/Sun! Phew! Slowly dropping thru the 80’s the next few days w/a high predicted of only 57 next Monday! Insane!!!!

      1. Good Morning Filly!

        last night while at walmart a band of strong thunderstorms went thru just as we were checking out. the power flickered twice and went out for a second. then when it came back on, the cashier was flustered about finishing ringing us up because the computer had to reset and the manager came over and talked her thru it…lol

        but we waited inside for 10 minutes before hubby made a break for the jeep and told me to stay put. it poured all the way home.

    Dr. Oz just dropped a bombshell: Russia, China, and Cuba are running Medicaid fraud networks across America — stealing billions from U.S. taxpayers.

    This isn’t random grift. It’s targeted exploitation of our system by hostile foreign actors.

    The Trump administration is finally cracking down.

    Here’s what we know.

  9. Just The News: “Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday announced that he had warned all 50 states to show they were effectively working to root out fraud in the Medicaid programs or face the loss of federal funding.

    “Today, we are sending, across 50 Medicaid programs, letters that will require them to show that they are effectively and aggressively prosecuting Medicaid fraud in their states,” Vance said.

    “These letters are the first step. The first effort to try to force these states to get serious about prosecuting fraud,” he said.

    He further indicated that the administration did not wish to withhold funding from any state, but that it was prepared to do so. The withholdings would begin with funds for anti-fraud units in the state, but could potentially expand to other parts of the Medicaid program.

    Earlier this year, President Donald Trump named Vance as his “fraud czar” to combat misuse of public funds. The appointment and creation of a federal anti-fraud task force followed revelations of mass public welfare fraud in Minneapolis, Minn., linked to the Somali expat community. Vance subsequently led crackdowns against fraudulent hospices in Los Angeles and has worked to curtail other schemes across the nation.

    The Wednesday announcement drew cheers and offers of assistance from anti-fraud advocates and state financial officers.

    “Today’s announcement is music to the ears of every conservative state financial officer already fighting hard to eradicate fraud throughout the nation,” State Financial Officers Foundation (SFOF) CEO OJ Oleka said in a statement. “Real accountability with real teeth is indispensable for winning the war on fraud, protecting its victims, and getting reluctant states off the fence and into this fight.”

    “It is encouraging and empowering to know that Vice President Vance and his task force are looking to the states to be proactive partners. SFOF’s message to the White House is simple: look no further, help is already here,” he added. “Our 41 state financial officers have already exposed billions of dollars in government fraud and are just getting started. They are proud to set the standard for what cooperation in the states should look like as part of a ‘whole of government’ approach. While SFOF leaders can never guarantee that bad actors will stop preying on taxpayer-funded programs, they can and do guarantee that such activity will not be excused in the states they’re entrusted to protect.”

      1. I trust Rubio’s experience over Vance’s lack thereof…..but that issue is still a sticking point. His parents came here in the late 1950’s; he was born in ’71 and they didn’t become citizens until ’75, unfortunately – that would make him a citizen but not a NBC. But there are very few so-called “constitutional scholars” who still recognize those basic facts, unfortunately.

  11. That was weird! Since when does one turkey hen wander off by itself? I thought they always stayed relatively close together but I just saw one of them wandering down my fence line towards the field behind me a few minutes ago. Very strange! I don’t see it out there now.

    1. spring time…she’s looking for a spot for her nest or making one.

      here they always separate for that. it would be disastrous if they nested together. coyotes would get all the eggs or young turkeys of a generation.

      1. Hmmm….interesting! Whatever is planted back there now is high enough to help hide her nest, too. It won’t be cut for quite some time so it’s a safe place, I reckon.

  12. here’s an interesting theory

    Bill Mitchell
    @mitchellvii
    PEOPLE MISUNDERSTAND THUNE! – People think that John Thune opposes the SAVE America Act. That’s not true at all. 

    The only way to pass a SAVE America Act is nuking the filibuster. 

    John Thune opposes nuking the filibuster because this will give Trump too much power. He, along with his puppet master McConnell, are globalists. They need to slow the AmericaFirst agenda to serve their corporate donors, the multinational corporations.

    As long as the filibuster exists, they have an excuse not to pass the Trump agenda. They can blame it on the Democrats. But once that filibuster is gone, it’s all on them. 

    I believe Thune supports the SAVE America Act but the path to that act, nuking the filibuster, is completely against his globalist agenda.

  13. This is:

    J.J. Carrell, who served in the United States Border Patrol for twenty-four years under five presidential administrations,

    “Our government is inundated with traitors, and we are also inundated with people who are illegal aliens inside our government.”

    Delia Catalina Ramirez, currently serving in the United States Congress representing Illinois’s 3rd congressional district since 2023—a Democrat and a member of the “Squad”—is an illegal alien.

    • Delia Ramirez is an illegal alien

    • Her husband is an illegal alien and a criminal.

    All her family members are illegal aliens

    J.J. Carrell: “Delia Ramirez is married to a criminal. She’s married to a criminal. Her family members—the majority—are all illegal aliens. I did a cursory search through the Department of Homeland Security. I can’t find her, that she’s a naturalized citizen. She never naturalized. Thus, she’s an illegal alien. This is happening throughout the United States government.”

    “Is anyone going to say it out loud?”

    “This is happening throughout our government.”

    In other words: Her entire voting record is unconstitutional.

      1. In the following excerpt, Jamie Raskin kept repeatedly interrupting him and speechifying about the true meaning of Church and State, and making untrue statements. He is such an asswipe!!!

    “Guys like this idiot in Texas who plowed full speed in to the back of a school bus because he was fucking around on his phone. Thankfully, that kid wasn’t getting on the bus at the time, and evidently only one other kid on the bus was uninjured.

    And then ya’ got this moron in California who didn’t as much cause an accident as actually being the accident, having rifled himself full speed (cops estimated he was doing 85mph) into the front of that car waiting to turn. That’s him rolling around on the ground. The bike? Well, that’s hanging from the stoplight above the car. Believe it or not this Jackwagon actually survived…”
