What I never understand is the media always totes the number that comes out and consistently that number is knocked down a week later to reflect actual job creation (and we never hear about the lower number).  This month, the original number is bad, but last month's number was also kicked down quite a bit and these number include public sector jobs.

They never really do what would help most and that is to cut the number of administrators in the school system!  Their plan includes taking bus service for the children going to magnet schools away while keeping every blessed employee of the school department.............pretty soon, they won't be doing anything for the children they serve at all.

Furloughs, retirement…

This was voted down, but the Dream Act never seems to quite go away as it should.

A measure that would grant in-state tuition to Florida high school students who are U.S. citizens but whose parents are in the country illegally was voted down Tuesday by a Senate committee.

Following nearly an hour of emotional debate, the Senate Higher Education Committee voted down the bill (SB 1018), sometimes known as the “Dream…

Since when do legislators get to decide about someone's religious freedom?  This is rediculous at a time when amoral behavior is perfectly acceptable!

The Senate is set to vote as early as today on a measure that deeply divides the chamber, allowing school districts to let students lead prayers at public school graduations, football games and other assemblies, as long as adults aren’t involved.

The version of the bill (SB…

This does not set well with me, but you will have to decide for yourself.  The mayor has given some of these folks raises that are greater than many people's annual salary, and no one should get a raise over $30,000 when they are public employees.  We can't afford this, and what good are all the cuts the mayor made if he just moving the money from one place to the other?   It ends up being nothing cut at a time when our city is in grave financial condition and has held our police…

This is information I received from JBS today in an Email and am posting it because this is a very serious situation and agree we need to stop this.  There are other ways to handle what needs to be done to add a balanced budget amendment without calling a constitutional convention which could be highjacked by the 20% of this country who are progressives.  Consider writing to your state representatives and senator.

Sounds about right.  I had heard there had been no change in about 10 years, but it is actually longer............and those who would push this are still pushing it (for redistribution of income).

Another little nightmare brought to you by our state legislature.............perhaps they think we aren't watching?

The House Transportation and Highway Safety subcommittee just passed unanimously a bill (CS/HB1223) to further dismantle our Fourth Amendment rights to privacy and furthers the goal of a National ID card that we call “Dangerous ID”. The federal REAL ID Act gives the DHS Secretary unlimited authority as to the purposes for which a REAL ID…

Just in case you don't think the GOP hates the tea party and thinks they can eliminate us and move forward choosing one horror candidate after another.................this should dispel the myth.  We more closely match their platform in our belief system than they do (how sad is that).  Don't think that move isn't afoot in other places as well.

Interesting and could mean more states jump on board since Obama is refusing to take part in the challenges and wants them dismissed.

An administrative law judge in Georgia could decide as early as this week whether voters in the state convinced him Barack Obama’s name should be removed…

I have the greatest respect for Thomas Sowell and have followed him for a long time, because he has something sorely lacking in our country today; common sense.  He writes wonderful commentary and is true blue conservative in his stances.  He is a very smart man and when he speaks, we should pay attention.  I suggest you read what he has to say as it may surprise you!

I am hard pressed to understand why the city subsidizes many of the other things they do when we can't even cover city services with tax dollars and expect people to pay extra for the primary function of city government.  This is nothing more than our local government picking winners and losers just like the federal government does with our tax dollars (and none to carefully either I might add).  If you leave it alone, the people will chose those entities they wish to have…

Florida is in the spotlight today.  If Mitt Romney wins - the media and the GOP elite will confirm his "right" to the Republican Presidential Nomination.  They will claim Florida as the win and the rest of the states whose voice has not been heard, be damned.

I've seen this before…

Hello all,

Thought I would pass on some weather info.  Something is going on in Jacksonville and usually when we see these type of waves, it's not good.  You and the south of Jacksonville may be getting some bad weather within the next 24-72 hours. I have been with dutchsinse for two years now and he is amazing.  Just an fyi.

I recall "W" Bush was a rude awakening to the press when he took office due to his starting meetings on time as scheduled. Mitt, on obviously his first meeting of the day was hopelessly late.  Being in business myself this seemed as much a surprise to me as it was to Congressman Ander Crenshaw who was stuck gasping for topics while waiting for Mitt to show up.

Then like a Jay Leno repeat Mitt opened with the same tired Newt trash talk put-downs of his that I've heard over and…

Nice to know Michelle Obama is pumping money into the economy..........but it isn't the US economy which seems to run in the Obama family.

This is quite interesting for those of you following who is where on the polls.  The Email popped into my box right after I posted the Times Union article about this same subject, and they appear to be at divergent ends of the spectrum.  In any case, the majority of people are splitting their votes among the conservatives which may still give Romney the win..............but may not.  This will require careful watching!

Sunday, 29…

This would be well worth keeping an eye on.

Second try on ethics reform not given much chance of passage

New regulations are having the impact on us locally as this article in the Times Union indicates, and now they are trying to change the rules right in the middle of things after some of these folks have invested money.  This is exactly what might be expected of folks who have never run a business or had a job anywhere.  They think you can do something like this, and people who own and run businesses will just take a hit and come back for more.

 …

Interesting as conservatives are in the lead when you combine the 3 conservative candidates polling numbers, they are 1 point higher than Romney's polling number on at least one poll, but because the vote is split, we will end up with the establishment pick, and we can all hold our noses when November rolls around!  Let's hope Mr. Romney isn't pulling an Obama on us and lying about where he stands on the issues to get elected.
