Miami Herald: Charter schools seek construction money

How does everyone feel about this.  Certainly, I can agree with the argument that charter children should be treated equally to those in the public schools.

Florida school districts are fighting a bill that would require them to share construction dollars with charter schools.

TALLAHASSEE -- The charter school movement flexed its legislative muscle Monday, taking…

TU: Alvin Brown says Jacksonville will grow, but he won't put a number on it

I am confused here, because part of what the mayor ran on was bringing jobs to Jax and now, he is saying he really doesn't have the tools, as a mayor, to do that?  I think we may need to remember he said this.  We also need to be wary if he tries to claim responsibility for any improvement since he doesn't feel the mayor can really impact unemployment.  I know certainly the governor is doing things to improve conditions, so maybe we can thank him in the end?  This is interesting,…

Human Events: McConnell: Keystone pipeline unlikely to pass until Obama is voted out

Another reason his highness needs to voted out including the fact he thought he should take over the super bowl last night, because is running for re-election and needed more exposure and his green cars were there with him!  I wonder, did we pay for that or did his re-election campaign?  It is very pricey, so he probably stuck the taxpayers with the bill!

Town Hall: Box-checking Obama in a Liberal Cocoon

You probably going to be totally blown away when you find out what the man in the oval office actually does..........checks boxes prepared for him and in some cases with a huge amount of guidance as to which box to check if it isn't checked already for him :).  Unreal!

npr: Obama Could Alter Stance Of Federal Appeals Courts

What this means basically, if it is allowed to happen, is someone with a legal expectation of a remedy in their favor, based on the constitution, would get liberal gobbildy goop that has nothing to do with the constitution.  Are we all willing to play games with this next election?  I think not.  Obama has to go period even if we aren't that wild about our choices.........and that can be battle for another day as it surely should.  Liberal judges even on the supreme court would…

TU: Young voters' turnout low in Northeast Florida, but there's a disagreement as to why

This is not something we are not aware of, but I disagree that in 2008 we were given intelligent solutions.  They were given spin and the chant "hope and change" with no definition of what it meant...............and now we know it meant no jobs, food stamps for all and more unemployment and welfare.  I would wonder if some of these young people are smart enough to make a wiser choice next time around or will they fall for the rhetoric, all the promises that require borrowing huge…

TU: Amy Rankin: Public-private deals must be two-way street

The churches and non profits used to provide services for the poor, but the government decided it would use tax dollars, and slowly over time, they have pushed the folks who would normally do this out. And personally, why would a church or a non profit want to partner with a government entity and put up the money, so the city, state or federal government could try to take over as the manager (which is what this is all about really). They want to blur the lines and ingratiate…

TU: Jacksonville pension chief's pay hike raises eyebrows

Curtis Lee had mentioned he  expected us to see an article in the TU on this shortly, and sure enough, this morning, there is one.  Hope you are keeping up with this drama as it becoming a very transparent issue as it should be considering the mess our pension fund is in.  That Mr. Keane would be rewarded for the management of a fund in the condition the fund is in with its huge unfunded liability is surreal, and they actually pay someone to make investment suggestions???  …

Curtis Lee: EPIDEMIC OF MISTAKES AT THE PFPF; please write as Governor Scott makes final decision

I am going to post a couple of new items from Curtis Lee about the PFPF, and hope you will read and understand this is a serious problem and almost daily Curtis is uncovering more unsavory information.  He has been a champion at the cause, and I am very grateful he has been kind enough to share his revelations with us.  I know you will allwill understand the reason for Curt's somewhat facetious statements, because of the way this very serious matter was…

Judson Phillips; Tea Party Nation: Priorities

Well thought out and a plan we may be to look at.  We, as a group, all support different candidates, and some folks are hard line enough about their guy there is no wiggle room at all for them regardless of the situation in our country and the absolute need to remove the current resident of the white house.  Because we support different candidates, chances are very good, we are going to get the establishment GOP pick yet again, and we all know how wonderful that worked out last…

FOX: Outrage subdued after DJ goes on racially charged rant on GOP congressional candidate

This is a total outrage, and this man should lose his job and the possibility of working in radio broadcasting anywhere.   Amazing how angry democrats get when someone walks off their plantation!  We elect our officials based on the content of their character and their stands on the issues and not on the color of their skin, but in spite of the fact Matthews voted for Bergmann and indicated he would again, color of skin is important to…

Bobby Eberle; The Loft: Getting to the REAL Unemployment Figures

This is an extremely interesting explanation of how the new employment numbers were deduced.  I think when you are finished reading it you will realize, we have been duped yet again (pretty much as we thought we were).  Dr. Eberle has gathered information from several sources to put this together, and, I personally, think he has done a nice job of explaining some of it and numerous links for further clarification.

Natural News: Help stop former Monsanto VP from attaining top position at the FDA - sign the petition

If this man is appointed (and lets hope Obama doesn't try another recess appointment), it would be a huge conflict of interest.  But the democrats have been working so hard to keep pushing to make Monsanto in charge of the food we eat.  Clinton did the same thing.  These folks are destroying our food for the sake of profit for Monsanto.

Town Hall: Worse Than Death Panels

By the time they manipulate all those doctors that we are supposed to be able to trust, you won't be able to trust anyone in the medical community.................and Obama, if re-elected, will have something new to lie about as our medical care and trust and relationships with our doctors goes down the toilet with everything else.

Town Hall: Allen West: 'Is Someone Playing with Unemployment Numbers?'

This should certainly not come as any surprise to anyone, and in fact, I think most of us already knew this, but today, there are 2 articles with a fair amount of information about the manipulations being done.  One posted here and another that was a share from one of my Email partners who sends informative information.  I will post the second one directly.  Both are from very credible sources.…

Conservative Byte: Is This Iowa High School Teaching Students Communism Is Better Than Capitalism? See the Flyer

If you think all the communists are busy with the OWS protests, think again. Quite a few of them are teaching your children that communism is better than the capitalism that made us the richest country in the world and lying about it at that............the money does not go to the workers; A small portion that covers their NEEDS is given to them and the government keeps the rest. The tattered cloths are still there only now, you are a slave instead of…

Patriot Newswire: Panetta: “When we say someone is a terrorist, then we can kill them, because they’re a terrorist.”

I read this with horror, and we should all be concerned that that Obama will decide who gets killed and who doesn't without any rights and without any fair trial or anything.

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...…
