Under the Biden-Harris admin., home insurance rates have skyrocketed 37%. The Consumer Price Index has jumped nearly 20%.

Everything is more expensive.
 
And the people who got us into this CRISIS, are not going to lead us out. On the contrary, it will get WORSE. (2/8)

Last week I witnessed an EV fire during Hurricane Ian operations. Firefighters put out the fire, then it would reignite. The teams said it was a result of salt water affecting compromised batteries, so we asked for additional information from @NHTSAgov. They responded.

Today, FEMA granted a waiver that will allow National Flood Insurance Program policyholders to access tens-of-thousands of dollars upfront without having to go through a normal claims process or involving an adjuster. MORE HERE: bit.ly/3riEpWP #HurricaneIan (1/4) This process cuts through a lot of red tape, and provides critical funding to policyholders who can provide FEMA with basic information of out-of-pocket expenses related to repair or replacement of NFIP-insured property.

The more I learn about GoFundMe, the more I don’t like it. At Surfside they had to shutdown fraudulent accounts, which diverted cash from families. Think about it: it doesn’t take a lot of effort to put the word “Surfside” in an account and get cash with little effort.(1/4) Meanwhile, GoFundMe is defaulting people into fees. They say you don’t have to pay anything, but it’s on you to opt-out. That’s not ethical. They know what they’re doing. Other charities don’t do that. Transparency is always a good policy and GoFundMe doesn’t practice it (2/4)

I’ve gotten fed up with the Biden Administration’s war against COVID treatments. I’ve got around 2,000 employees I am responsible for, and I am the state’s Fire Marshal helping to support Florida’s 45 K firefighters. (1/5) For some reason the Biden Administration is vaccine and masking obsessed. I like vaccines too! I got mine. But I am seeing A LOT of breakthrough cases by people who love the mask and got the shot. And when do these boosters end? Ever? (2/5)

Looks like the IRS is willing to move their reporting requirement from a $600 to $10K threshold. Ok then. If the Biden Administration thinks moving the reporting threshold by a few thousand dollars changes anything – then he really is disconnected from normal people. (1/6)🧵 He supposedly is trying to shake down billionaires and fight fraud, but he wants to go after middle class bank accounts and small businesses? He’s lying. The entire administration is lying. And they know they’re lying. (2/6)
