Our featured speaker this month is
Jason Brunt
Founder and President
Florida Straights
Jason Brunt, founder and President of Florida Straights, and host of the podcast Straight Talk, a podcast dedicated to protecting and promoting traditional values.
He will speak about his organization as they tackle some of the most pressing and contentious issues of our time. This includes the concept of a "woke military" and its potential implications for our national defense. He asks the tough questions, including; Are we truly prepared for any type of world war when our military seems more focused on woke recruitment and progressive virtue signaling than on building a tough and ready armed force ready to face foreign adversaries who have their sights set on our destruction?
But that's not all; as an advocate for traditional family famues, he will also explore further examples of how the radical left is influencing and shaping the minds of our children through various forms of indoctrination.

Conservative Leaders Rally Around Rick Scott’s "11-Point Plan to Rescue America"
Conservative Leaders Rally Around Rick Scott’s "11-Point Plan to Rescue America"
Eighty-eight conservative leaders from the Conservative Action Project signed a memo supporting Scott’s plan titled Conservatives Applaud Sen. Rick Scott’s Plan to Rescue America.
The memo said:
Politicians should tell voters what they are for, what they plan to do, and then they have to do it. This is the clarity – and the accountability – that voters want to see from their elected leaders. Conservatives should be talking about our ideas as much, if not more, than we talk about Democratic missteps and overreach. While not everyone will agree with every parameter of Sen. Scott’s agenda, he should be applauded for his willingness to step up to the plate and to lead. More elected leaders should be following his example.
