TU: Council will look at whether too few lobbyists is hurting Jacksonville

I think this makes zero sense, but you weigh in and let us know what you think.  I think if we have elected representatives, and they should be doing the bidding of the people and lobbying for the people in whatever part of the state they represent.  Now the city council wants to pay someone (not elected) to represent what they want which sometimes is not what the people want?  And they will use our tax dollars to do this?  And this year, the budget will be short almost 60…

TU: Jacksonville police arrest 2 state inspectors in restaurant bribery sting

Thanks to our fine officers in blue!  Good job.  Wonder how these 2 upstanding state employees fell through the cracks?  Anyone notice there seems to be a lot of corruption at all levels of government just now...........don't suppose it has anything to do with the size of government, do you?  It does.............as the size of government increases, so does the corruption!   Solution:   CUT the size of government at all levels!…

TU: Duval County School Board action

These folks must have come into some money, because they have just created another administrative position to spend it.  Becki Couch appears to be the only sane person on this board and voted against creating this new high priced position!   And why weren't the names of the 5 big spenders listed?  Too bad the children didn't get something out of this, but I guess the union only worries about hiring more union workers to pay more union dues, so they can make big donations…

TU: Wind meters on Duval County bridges will help decide closings

You just can't make this stuff up.  How did we ever manage without these I wonder (and actually, the article gives you that info)? I just feel blessed, don't you?   And yes, I am being facetious.   Our state is broke, our city is broke, our federal government is broke, and these folks are out buying wind meters for bridges (when many of bridges themselves nationwide need repairs)!…

TU: Jacksonville budget chief says filling $58 million gap won't lead to tax or fee increases

Another good news year.  Increases in all department budgets (instead of attrition and cuts) and a gap of 58 million ...............  How is everyone feeling about this?  Does anyone wonder why each department just automatically gets a bump in their budget every year?  I do.  But, I guess we have to cover things like the yard sale police, the water police, the sign police, and all that stuff that is crucial to the efficient control of Duval County residents and the micro managing…

TU: Jacksonville City Council finds money slipping out of sight in big projects

How does the city not know this money was just sitting around for years in this account?   Could it be, perhaps, that our city government has exceeded the limits of size actually necessary to provide maintenance on city property and the city services they are charged with and can no longer do an adequate job managing the behemoth mess they have created?  Why is our city now more focused on doing work that is not their responsibility and pushing off as separately paid for and…

News Channel 5: Occupy Cleveland cancels 'May Day' rally, says bomb suspects involved with movement

More Occupy violence as plans to blow up a bridge are foiled by the FBI.  Certainly these 5 are a motely looking group who might have been better served cleaning up a bit and getting a job instead of the mischief that will now put them in jail.

Mission Local: Protesters Smash, Paint-Bomb Businesses, Cars

San Francisco took a real hit from the Occupy folks.  This type of destruction has happened in several cities now and coincides with the Occupy May 1st movement, so although they originally said it wasn't their folks in this instance, shortly there after, they took that statement down (as the article says).  I wonder if all those progressives in congress still see this as "grass roots" and support these folks???…

PilotOnline: A beating at Church and Brambleton

This is the 3rd or 4th similiar story of attacks on white people who were simply going about their business and doing nothing threatening or out of the way in the last couple of weeks with one young man ending up seriously injured and in the hospital solely based on the color of their skin.  Those attacked all happened to be white and the perpetrators of the attacks were all black.  I wonder if our president is proud of his accomplishments?  He has…

TU: Bill banning discrimination based on sexual orientation to be filed at Jacksonville City Council

I think this basically puts in writing (and makes the law) something the city was already doing or should I say not doing (ie discriminating).

Bill backed by business groups, former elected officials.

TU: City: No draft copy of Jacksonville mayor's budget, which is due today

I am thinking this is not really an issue unless the draft isn't turned into the council today, and it looks like the finishing touches are going on the budget as we speak!

Spokesman says finance department planned to finish document overnight.

TU: FSCJ vice president could be fired for sending complaints to Gov. Rick Scott

This may be something you wish to weigh in on.  From what I read, the vice president was acting as a whistle blower and reporting wrong doing, and no whistle blower should be punished for doing that!  Certainly, the very people she reported on should not be the ones deciding whether she loses her job.............

Washington Times: New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism

Refreshing to see some of these folks in the media call it what it is and at least start pointing out some of these things to the blind followers!  It may allow those who hang on "the ones" every word to pause and maybe even begin to think somewhat for themselves.  Nothing "forward" about what this guy is doing as he would like to take our people back to what they escaped from in England and Americans fought a war to free themselves from.…

CS Monitor: Trayvon Martin case: Task force wants changes in Stand Your Ground

This should be of great concern to everyone in the state of Florida, because this law allows you to defend yourself against someone aiming to cause you harm or trying to kill you. If they weaken it, basically they will be siding with the perpetrator of a crime instead of the victim, and I, for one, believe a strong stand your ground law makes a criminal think twice....................because their victim has rights too!  Certainly, this was yet another bill our legislature did a…

Breitbart: Exclusive - Indoctrination 101: Teaching Chicago Students to Protest

As you will find, when facilitators such as the ones brought into the school are used, they use inaccurate information and then, accept only consensus for the view they want accepted. Anyone who disagrees is ostracized, made to feel like an outlyer or they use more mis-information to dispel their stance and flip the person to the group consensus and an agenda no matter how flawed or irrational it is. This is now the norm, and if you go into any type of group where there is this…

Election 2012 Group 4-27-12

  4-27-12  This week was the 4th meeting of the Election 2012 Group.  Again 15 people met, but a different 15 as some were absent and some were new.  The format of breaking into 3 groups was maintained with each group giving a summary at the end of the meeting, and the length of the meeting has been held to 1 hour.  The groups have identified goals, prioritized actions, and are beginning to work on implementation.  But they could use many more members to attend with their thoughts, ideas,…

Congressman Tom Tancredo: Bill Gives The IRS Power To: Authorize The Removal Of The Right To Own A Firearm -

This is absurd.  We are giving unelected bur.... the right to remove the rights of the people without anything more than their word the person may have done something wrong according to them only?  Everyone better wake up as it IS getting worse by the day.

The Blaze: President Obama Overrides Congress to Send $192M to Palestinian Authority: ‘Important to the Security Interests of the United States’

This is a treasonous act.  I wonder how much longer this congress will allow Mr. Obama to give money to the enemies of our country and Israel and do nothing.  He is destroying us and giving aid and comfort to our enemies on top of that when we are flat broke.

.................................................

President Obama has overridden Congress to lift the U.S. ban on financial aid to the Palestinian Authority,…

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
