The Washington Examiner: House Asks: Did Obama's Auto Bailout Chief Say, 'I Did This All For...

So did he tell the truth in 2009 or is he telling the truth now?  My guess would be he told the truth in "a 2010 book saying of the auto bailouts that he "did this all for the unions" and lied "when Bloom appeared before the committee on June 22 when he flatly denied ever saying those words. Other White House officials have reportedly defended Bloom by suggesting that he did indeed say those words but was joking. And that has led committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa to ask what is going…

COJ Bill 2011-374 $27,230 Grant for High Quality Microchip Scanner

For those of you who think the small bills before our city council are not important, this bill may capture your interest.  Because it is less than $50,000 there will be no bids or even apparently multiple inquiries to find the "best deal" for the taxpayers and for Maddie's Fund.  There were numerous reasons this bill should have caught our interest.

I would say as you read…

American Spectator: Obama Gives New Grant to ACORN; Did He Violate Federal Law?

Obama now violates the law on an almost daily basis, and where is congress on these violations or is he trying to get a rise out of congress to start some sort of violent reaction from the more radical elements of his supporters??

Crenshaw; We should drill, but not here in Florida or off the coast of Florida

As a continueing effort, many of us still write to our congressmen and senators as an on going effort.  As gas prices are rising, I wrote once again to ask that the mandates be lifted and that while we encourage the development of alternate sources, we attempt to become energy independent by using our own resources.  My letter did not focus on drilling in Florida, but I certainly asked that the mandates stopping drilling in the Gulf be lifted or overturned or that congress do whatever was…

Daily Caller: Shocking new documents detail DOJ’s reasons for releasing Marxist bomber

When I read this, the voter intimidation case involving the Black Panthers immediately came to mind.  The reasoning is about the same!  This is sad and certainly not in the best interests of our country.  It also proves one more time that the decisions being made by the DOJ are poor at best.

 

Excerpts from the article:

Newly released documents show that the Department of Justice (DOJ) allowed for the release of Marxist radical and domestic terrorist Marilyn Buck…

National Review: ObamaCare Decision Invites Supremes to Limit Federal Power

For all of you who felt totally deflated over the lated decision by the courts on Obamacare, Ms. Galen of the Galen Institute has read the decisions and apparently others have as well and one of the judges through out the gauntlet to the Supreme Court when he said the commerce clause was now being used for pretty much everything and it might be time for the court to revisit some cases that made it thus.  As we all know the commerce clause was meant to have very limited impact and was mostly…

Northeast Florida Regional Council............Exempt from Florida Sunshine Law?

Does anyone know enough about the Sunshine Law to understand why these meetings are exempt from the Sunshine Law requirement of open meetings?  They are using 286 which is the Sunshine Law but have not stated what exemption they fall under that allows them to have closed meeting.

Daily Record; Downtown Today, Revitalization Committee approves Downtown development authority

And Brown thinks he can simply change the name of the commission to something sounding like we are involved and we will continue spending like we have money.  What say you????  And does it really matter what they approve since the city council has not approved anything and is still trying to balance the budget and eliminate a 60 million dollar short fall???

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...…
