TU: State audit finds possible conflict of interest with a top FSCJ administrator

These folks seem to be making headlines a great deal of late.  Usually when that happens something really is amiss.  What are your thoughts?

State had concerns about work of vice president, but college president…

TU: Alvin Brown agrees to $500 fine for filing improper financial disclosure

Hmmm, I kind of think these would be 2 things you would certainly remember, but that's me.  What do you think????  Would you have remembered business income and cashing out an IRA?

TU: With city help, conference promotes preservation, sustainability as next wave

First of all, please note the words "with city help".  As far as I am concerned, this is the same as the "doggie park" we can't afford.  I also take exception with them using the words "preservation has become rarified".  It might be rarified here in Jacksonville, but it is alive and well in countless cities and has been right along!  It is the Jacksonville mentality held by a couple of mayors that wanted to tear down anything old and replace it with things like the Taj Mahall…

Tea Party Economist: U.S. Army Manual for Internment Camps

A while back, a fellow patriot sent me a link to several areas in the Army Manual that explain what was to be done, and this is not about 3rd world countries (it would be right here on US soil in the internment camps set up around the country as well).  As I have just posted an article explaining why the federal government all of a sudden needs to be heavily armed..............as they plan to shoot and kill US citizens to squash any uprising of US citizens and to keep their job…

Beacon Equity Research: “We are Preparing for Massive Civil War,” Says DHS Informant

For all of you who wondered why the US Government was buying huge quantities of amunition (and specifically bullets that are outlawed because there is no hope of survival with these bullets that rip your insides apart basically...............the reason they were outlawed and these folks apparently plan to turn the US into a Syria).  The plan apparently is to use these bullets on US citizens who try to fight what will take place now that Obama has all but destroyed us economically…

Terry Anderson's "Not Exactly" list for some of the statements made by Obama

A friend sent me this in an Email today, and I thought I would share it with you, because someone has gone to a whole lot of work putting this list together. It is a list of some, but not all the stories and half truths told to the American public and rebuttal of each and every one of them.

Daily Mail: Four Georgia men arrested for 'beating to death' ex-Marine who survived TWO tours of duty in Iraq

Another senseless attack and this time it resulted in the death of a marine who did two tours of duty in Iraq and was only 34 years old.  This is horrendous and can't image what the perpetrators of this crime could have been thinking or maybe they were thinking.

TU: JTA might end Skyway fares permanently

Hmmm  Free?  Nope, it isn't free, because each and every tax payer will be paying for it with the 6 cent gas tax we all pay, and I remember reading a while back the council was going to eliminate the additional tax on gas the city imposed...................did they change on minds on that too?  If they are trying to make this total loser skyway look successful to stop folks from wanting to shut it down, sticking them with paying the whole ticket on this loser is not the way, and…

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

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...…
