A recent front page article in the Times Union stated Peter Rummell, a Republican, was endorsing Alvin Brown, a Democrat, for Mayor.  He was also investing $150,000 of his own personal money into Mr. Brown’s campaign.  Since that endorsement, he has sent emails asking friends and acquaintances who are also Republicans to endorse Mr. Brown.   Mr. Rummell was Chairman and CEO of the St. Joe Company, one of Florida’s largest real estate operating companies and the state’s largest private…

I know you will have a hard time believing what I am going to tell you but please know I would never lie to you.  I love you too much to do that.  You are my friends and I write to you this great news because all who live must know HE LIVES TOO! 

A miracle has happened…

I love Fridays but this one didn't start out good.  I received terrible news that my best friend was tortured and murdered by a gang of evil, greedy and power-hungry men.  He died violently at their hands.   Our world has gone mad and this is a tragedy I may not get over…

We have our priorities wrong. As a people we are looking for government to provide what God has withheld.  Our government is not our provider, God is.  Frustration and futility are the corrective disciplines of God.

Who is left among us who saw the country in its former glory? Think of how we have removed God from our society in the past 40 years! How do you see it now? Does it not seem to you like nothing in comparison to the country we had before we tossed God out of our…

Standard and Poor has put America's biggest spenders in history on notice. America long term financial outlook is now characterized as "negative" by the credit rating giant. This means that America's AAA credit rating could be in jeopardy. This means that our borrowing costs-interest-will rise if our credit rating drops raising the cost of government even higher. Even higher? Is that possible? 

Why did Standard &…

Ethics is the Key to Democracy

Carla Miller, Esq, Ethics Officer for the City of Jacksonville, spoke to the Southside Tea Party on Monday, April…

All of the American taxpayers who just dutifully paid all their taxes might be just a little offended by the fact that 12 U.S. registered corporations that have off-shored some or all of their operations to other countries are not only not paying taxes into the U.S. Treasury, they are also getting tax refunds---courtesy of actual U.S. taxpayers---from the U.S. government. So, what geniuses in the…

SENATOR RAND PAUL COMES TO DEFENSE OF TEA PARTY ON FLOOR OF U.S. SENATE AND DARES SENATORS TO COME TO A TEA PARTY RALLY

Below is a link to an excellent video of Rand Paul's vigorous defense of the Tea Party, in which he also talks at length about the irresponsible and unaccountable manner in which the people's money is handled in Washington. He uses the personal pronoun "we," in reference to himself, when speaking in defense of the Tea Party, thereby making it clear he considers…

Today is April 16th and what now, I wondered as I walked towards the kitchen to begin the morning routine.  The Times Union was already open and these headlines caught my attention. 

BROWN WINS OVER BIG GOP BACKER - the leader of the Jacksonville Civic Council - has personally endorsed Alvin Brown and is giving him $150,000.  As I write this, I am still confused by this headline and more so by Mr. Rummell's decision.  Mr. Rummell is endorsing a liberal who is also backed by…
