32 years ago, back when I was a complete nobody, I married this beautiful woman from another country, and she changed my life. She married me before I was a doctor, back when our cars were hand-me-downs, and we had no idea what we were going to do.

But we had each other. Sophie left her family and her belongings behind to be with me, at a time when no one else cared. 32 years later, she is the best thing that ever happened to me.

And still all that matters is that we have each other.

Happy anniversary, Sophie!

I don’t single out many of my former colleagues for praise, but this guy deserves it. There weren’t too many of us Constitutional conservatives in the Florida House, but Mike Beltran for Congress was legit. He always stayed loyal to the Constitution even when his party didn’t. He has my endorsement for Congress, and you can learn more by watching my interview with him- available in the comments below!

Good Patriots still exist, you just have to support them!

Senator Rick Scott is once again proving he has no regard for the Bill of Rights. The same idiot that took away your public beaches and your 2nd Amendment rights is now trying to cancel Kanye West’s concert in Tampa.

Not for nudity, not for public indecency, not for human sacrifices. He wants to cancel Kanye’s concert over words.

As a smart kid in a poor school, I was called names. As a politician, people said worse things about me in order to hurt me. Growing up in rural 1970s Mississippi, I definitely heard some racist and unsavory things being spoken by some nasty characters.

That’s their right.

As a Mississippian, let me tell you the best way to learn who’s a racist, an antisemite, a thug, a nasty person.

Let them talk.

I sponsored a bill that would protect performers from this cancel culture. It went nowhere. Now I see why. At the end of the day, both parties reserve the right to silence you.

Don’t let them.

Are CVS and Walgreens about to be the next casualties of America’s healthcare meltdown?

I know independent doctors’ offices like mine and mom and pop pharmacies have had to tighten their belts due to poor reimbursement from insurance companies. But now I see changes happening in the large pharmacy chains, too. And it’s not good.

I haven’t said anything for months, hoping my experience was just an outlier. But after going to Walgreens and CVS stores in multiple towns in Florida over several months, I’ve had the same experience over and over.

It now seems one employee is running the entire store, from the photo lab to the cash register to customer service. Whereas you always used to see at least 3 uniformed employees before you hit the pharmacy counter, you are now lucky if you see just one.

I feel so sorry for the lone worker now doing the job of four people. It’s not their fault- I even watched last night as an overworked employee had to call and leave a message for their manager.

Is this a sign of the times, or is this the first sign that these pharmacies may be about to fall victim to their own corporate greed?

As someone who lived and studied in Europe for a year, one thing that separates us from Europe is the affordability of good meat in America.

What is going on here???
Why is Publix trying to turn us into Europe?

$20 a pound for roast beef or pastrami???
$9 a pound for lean ground beef “on sale”??

Publix has always been associated with Florida and has an army of loyal supporters. Their headquarters are in Lakeland, Florida.

But their pricing lately has been suspect. Are they trying to recoup the costs of opening new stores every five miles, a questionable strategy at best? Are they using high gas prices as an excuse to take advantage of American meat eaters?

Is it time to boycott this Florida institution? Or at least get some answers as to why they are gouging Floridians at a time when we can least afford it??

Deleting old phone messages and came across this memory from 2024:

After reading about the death of Port St Joe football player Chance Gainer, I began researching the case and texting my friend Jason Shoaf for Florida House District 7 in Port St Joe about simple changes to the sports physical process that would undoubtedly save lives. I even drafted language and recommended changes, most of which are in the current school form.

Now, every time I perform a sports physical for my patients and your children, I see the changes I helped shape. Thank you Jason, for your willingness to listen and for getting the final product across the finish line.

Advocates, you can make an impact. Here’s hoping more Representatives seek counsel from colleagues, friends, and constituents when attempting to make life better for all Floridians. Together, we can make a difference. And Jason, you certainly did.
