Miami Herald: ‘Anti-Sharia’ bill banning foreign law passes House over protests

This was never an anti sharia law.  It was an anti any law but the constitution in the court rooms of Florida and there is a huge difference (at least to me).  What is your take?

 

A bill that would ban courts or other legal authorities from using religious or foreign law as a part of a legal decision or contract was okayed by the House.

It's about time!  And suspect the amount being spent is going to be huge with $0.40 on every dollar borrowed from China.

Time Heartland: FDA Warns Statin Users of Memory Loss and Diabetes Risks

I spotted this in the Wall Street Journal, and I have found the info in an article easily accessible to all.  This was of concern as MANY people take these statin drugs, and it could be, at least in part, the reason for the marked increase in diabetes cases and the very much increased numbers for dementia diagnoses as well.  The information in this article is frightening and does not speak well of the FDA approving this drug without these warnings at the start and probably a…

TU: 3 Duval teachers face suspensions

Inappropriate Email, talking about their personal sex life and another physically dragged a student to the clinic (when he did not want to go). None of this has anything to do with these teachers real jobs and what they are supposed to be doing while parents intrust their children to these folks................................

 

Offenses range from objectionable emails to inappropriate sexual…

FOX: UN to propose planetary regulations of water, food

My thought every time I read something about the UN like this, is how and what authority they have to think they should be put in charge of anything.  Were it not for the money we provide for their support, they would wither and die (which is what should happen as they have grown too big for the pants and long ago forgot thier role).  The UN is now an organization of tyrants and dictators primarily and that they would think anyone would follow thier lead, except perhaps the…

Goodbye First Amendment: "Trespass Bill" will make it protest illegal

This is another stealth bill that was passed in the dark of night without anyone knowing............  from my friend Karyn here in Jacksonville
 
This is so very serious & I am amazed that this got through the Senate & the House without anyone knowing.
 
When you add this to the 'FEMA' camps, looks like preparations to not have elections this year are just about…

Politico: Blunt amendment defeated in Senate (it was tabled 51-48)

We just got word to take action this morning, and before anyone had a chance to even call their senators, they voted to table the amendment to reinstate religious rights under the first amendment.  This is, by no means, over as it will be before the supreme court.  We had better hope and pray we get rid of Obama, because if he gets re-elected, we may not have the supreme court to depend on to right things again.  This is not, and never was, about women's health issues; it was and…

Hot Air: Dem Rep to constituents on HHS mandate: “Basically, we’re not looking to the Constitution”

Anyone who took an oath of office that says you will uphold the consitution and then, says something like this, needs to be removed from office..........the sooner the better.  Her own people should have a recall election!

Tea Power

Happy birthday Tea Party.  In the two years I have been a tea partier, I have seen us grow by 40%.  With 7200 members,  all the family and non-members we associate with daily, we represent more than 10% of the local vote and we're growing daily.

The Ulsterman Report: Obama Threatens To “Hold Accountable” U.S. Soldiers for Burning of Koran

This is truly wrong and wrong headed, but it is expected from this pro-Islam communist who hates this country and every thing we stand for.  He has done so much damage to our military and has caused demoralization beyond compare.  We will be lucky if anyone stays, but perhaps that is what he wants...............to leave us totally without any defence against his friends in the middle east.  It is criminal, and one might remember that those who did the actual burning were doing as…

INCONCEIVABLE: Obama Attacks America’s Founding Principles; Obama to UAW: ‘Trying to Climb to the Very Top’ Is ‘Greed,’ Not What America’s ‘About’

The only greed going on is by the group that doesn't want to do anything for themselves but does want to steal from others to support themselves. Greed is taking the fruits of someone else's labors and thinking you are entitled to it. This president never donated much of anything, so he is a poor person to lecture anyone about generosity!  He is a flaming lunatic!

TU: Jacksonville dog park bill held up in City Council

I am glad to see the backers of these bills are finally getting on board with finding private funding for this project.  I think it is a good project and will benefit those who live in the area, but the city should not be paying for it period.  They need to do some fund raising and come up with the money to complete the project period, and as the article states, Mr. Bates of Concerned Taxpayers has found the city method of funding (moving money left over from another contract)…

TU: Air Force sets aside contract that would have brought aircraft assembly to Jacksonville

We will need to watch this situation closely since Embraer was a company that was given money to bring jobs into the area where they are as it is one of those special classifications downtown.  Now I wonder if we have already given them the money or if it is held until such time as the contract is in place.  Either way, there is taxpayer money in the pipeline for these folks, and we need to watch.  The city council bill number was 2011-0020 and the link to the bill is: …

TU: Parents tell Times-Union Duval school buses missed routes because of Daytona 500

37 Drivers among the missing leaving school children standing in the rain at bus stops!  I stand in total disbelief on this.  They face fines?  How about the bus company contract gets cancelled for non performance of contracted duties and they find another bus company and drivers who will do the job they were contracted for and not decide something more lucrative is worth leaving all these children standing in the rain without a bus to take them home.  This is totally an outrage,…

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...…
