Times Union: $1 million grant from the city adds 52 beds to Jacksonville's Sulzbacher center

Isn't this interesting?  And the lady who runs this has helped the mayor on his transition team....................you don't suppose?   Certainly interesting and imagine us with millions of dollars in the whole and us begging other people to give money to do projects the city is involved in and we are giving a million to these folks when we have no taxpayer money to give anyone.…

Breitbart: The Vetting - Exclusive - Obama's Literary Agent in 1991 Booklet: 'Born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii'

Very interesting.  Certainly not in any way proof of anything underhanded, but one of many, many things that all seem to deviate and all the information together does not comprise a whole.  Who in heavens name and what in heavens name did the American people put in OUR white house and allow to run our country into the ground?

Washington Times: Obama sidelined as player in summits

And he will be surprised that his getting our credit rating lowered, having none of his give away programs fix the economy or taking our country nearly off a cliff will not garner him the respect all his Washington cronies have told him he deserves......................no one in Europe was listening the last time he tried to push them into useless spending, and certainly the PM of Germany isn't going to buy in to a bunch of Obama's failed programs.…

Allen West/Facebook: National Economic Indicators During Obama's Term

Allen West is not known for spinning anything, so I thought you might like to take a look at the numbers.  Understand he is using the current unemployment numbers when we all know they are cooked, because they do not show the total number of people who have given up looking nor does it indicate how many total jobs have been lost in our economy (and both those who stopped looking and a decrease in the number of jobs available are huge).…

Liberty News: U.S. Soldier Beaten by Group of Cowards in Hoodies in Florida, No Word of Support From White House

Apparently this 24 year old young man did not look like Obama, since he has not seen fit to weigh in on this unprovoked beating of this young man by 4 thugs in hoodies.

Times Union: Melissa Ross: Furniture argument irrelevant; we're already losing in criminal justice

Interesting perspective.  She basically thinks we should address the problems that the courthouse is supposed to be a solution for (jail for those who commit crimes).  Education is one of the solutions she believes must be looked at.....................perhaps if we could get the federal government out of the equation, it might be a worth while solution.  Your thoughts??? …

Times Union: Jacksonville City Council members treading into gay rights bill

Please weigh in on this if you care that they have removed all referrences to the US Constitution and replaced it with UN Human Rights wording which has not relevance in our country!  If they are already not discriminating, then, why do we need such a bill, and just how are they going to know if someone is gay?   Ask them?  Which is totally around the bend.  Let's see how this goes as it could mean a great many people looking for another line of work in the next election if they…

Times 24/7: House Democrats are trained to play race card

Gee, I bet this will come as a surprise to everyone!   Given we have all been called racists for 3 or 4 years straight, I would have thought they already went through adequate training, wouldn't you????

Times Union: Florida schools won't be held accountable for low FCAT writing scores

I guess my question would be..............and these folks screamed about not getting enough money?  And what pray tell are they doing with all that money besides hiring more administrators, because it is clearly evident it is not going towards educating the children in our public propaganda (schools) centers.

American Thinker: Discouraged Democrat Voters May Mean Historic Sweep for GOP

Certainly very interesting when you look at some of the facts involved.  Let us hope they are right as another 4 years of these folks will be the death knell for our country.

Local Jacksonville News from the Times Union (and a couple of state articles as well)

I have included some state news as well this week as there were a couple of interesting articles.  There wasn't much compared to other weeks and as I stated, if you would like a copy of  a letter from one of our councilmen about the courthouse furniture or you don't get Mayor Brown's newletters and would like to see who is donating money to the city to do some things we might not otherwise be able to do, let me know and I will be very happy to…

Marco Rubio Letter about the UN. Well worth the read and some support if you agree with him.

A member of our group has written a letter to his representatives about the United Nations, and the response he received from Senator Rubio is below.  I thought it was a good letter which responded well to the member, and I am hoping you will read it as it lets us know where Senator Rubio stands on the UN.

TU: PolitiJax: Florida Supreme Court rules in favor of term limits for counties

What a shame Mr. Cook doesn't think the voters have a right to impose term limits................the final decisions is now out, and yes we do have a right to term limit folks!!

An opinion released by the Florida Supreme Court Thursday makes clear that charter counties — like Clay and Duval — can impose term limits on local elected…

TU: Mayor's bills on downtown, incentives get halting start in Jacksonville Council review

No more boards, commissions or anything that growns budget wise year after year after year until it eats us alive and forces us to pay separately for the one thing the city government is responsible for ...........  city services!  As it is, the city government has now grown to the point it is not longer responsive and no one seems to be checking closely behind those who have been authorized to provide various services.  Look at all the money wasted by certain commissions because…

TU: Jacksonville mayor as CEO: Alvin Brown consolidating control on a business model

Personally, it is worrisome to me that the Mayor is trying to bring everything under his control and take it out from under control of our city councilmen and women who are our representatives.  I certainly understand the mayor also represents the people of Jacksonville, but power consolidated under any one person is never good for represenative government as we have quickly found out in Washington with a president who ignores our congress and threatens our supreme court justices.   Mayor…

TU: Fact Check: Does a new law restrict protests and violate the First Amendment?

Well worth the read as the writer of the commentary has pulled information from several sources.  Not slanted.   We might all well remember what Benjamin Franklin said:  Benjamin Franklin said:  "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a  little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety".   If anyone thinks all these liberty robbing rules these elitist legislatures are  coming up with are for your benefit, understand they are not. …

TU: Redrawn Florida congressional maps mean competitive elections for First Coast

This is very important and could mean BAD things for us and the state.  Now everyone should fully understand what the fair districts referendums on the ballot were meant to do and many thought it was to dispose of the gerrymandered districts (which it most certainly did not do).  And they were not about fair districts, and the big clue was contained in who the folks were who ran the campaign to get them on the ballot to start with.…

TU: Issue of used furniture for Duval courthouse still unsettled

I suspect this will be an ongoing issue for some time, but with a budget deficit of almost 60 million dollars it seem foolhardy and silly to put us further in debt buying new furniture for the new, very overpriced, courthouse.

Whether you like Romney or not, this story reveals the true measure of this man

Great article and Snopes backs it up totally.  Romney truly did this and it speaks volumes about the kind of person he is and how he raised his children!  This is a share with comments from the patriot who sent it.

I have no faith that the mainstream media will tell a story like this. It doesn't fit their model of who they want to be…

Spoof: Obama's new Indian name is "Walking Eagle"

President BARACK OBAMA was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation two weeks ago. At the conclusion of his…

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...…
