I AM TAKING THE LIBERTY OF PULLING THIS FROM THE EVER BANK BLOG, BECAUSE IT IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE REALIZE WHAT IS GOING ON CURRENTLY AND THE NEED FOR PEOPLE TO BECOME INVOLVED. THREE OR FOUR OF US CAN NOT STOP THIS FREIGHT TRAIN AND A COUNCIL MEMBER HAS LET US KNOW WE NEED TO SHOW UP IN REAL NUMBERS AND SPEAK (NOT JUST SPEAK BUT SAY THINGS THAT LET THEM KNOW WE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON). THE CURRENT CITY COUNCIL HAS NOT IDEA OF THE RAMIFICATIONS OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING. PEYTON WILL…

Although no suggestion of wrong doing was made, this whistle blower group suggests "SMG needs stronger oversight and routine audits to avoid the financial mismanagements". This is a long term contract for SMG who has the contract for the stadium, and the Taxation, Revenue and Utilization of…

In case anyone is under the delusion the city council can appoint and micro manage the ethics commission, you need to read this opinion piece written by an attorney who served on the Jacksonville Ethics Commission for 3 years and what he encountered. I have also included an opinion piece supported by all the heirachy at the Times Union in support of a strong independent ethics commission and could not agree with them more.

You have to be on your toes at all times with this city council and city government. Here is yet another bill that should never have passed making it through the finance committee and probably headed to the full council for a vote (more letters and phone calls required), but it made it through the finance committee as another of those public-private partnerships which is isn't. John Cresimbeni was the only vote against it (we need to thank him for remembering the taxpayers and his…

I assume when Obama does something like this that all that rhetoric about being there for the poor and middle class is just rhetoric. Really the dumbocraps never really do anything but hurt those groups in spite of what they say anyway!
The man is now going to take away that money to provide health care for the low income folks in Indiana if they dare cut off funding to Planned Parenthood. Read about it here: …

Obama has been blind sided by the bad economic news and although he has been told what plays well to the crowd and what does not, he just could not help himself. He is now blaming just about everyone, including the people of this country, but refuses to accept the he and his policies are responsible for the mess we are in. I don't think the man has ever, in his life, taken responsibility for anything.
Read what he had to say yesterday here: …

Well, the worst has happened. The city council voted themselves in charge of selecting members for the ethics commission and giving the mayor a choice and approval for the director as well. This basically ends any real prospect of a true ethics commission at all since we now have the wolves in charge of the hen house, and I fully expect to see them seat their friends and companions on the commission to stop anything meaningful from…

The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush. Amazingly enough, a lot of people swallow this nonsense. So once more, a short civics lesson.
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party.
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009 as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011.
In…

Sam Samford has this posted on his facebook page (it's a video of the Cass Sunstein's wife), and if you want to know where Obama gets some of his wack ideas, you need to watch this video. It is Cass Sunsteins wife talking about advising Mr. Obama to attack Israel and force the Palestinian situation and of course we would have to put an army in their to protect the Palestiniansfrom Israel afterwards. The other comment that makes me want to throw up is she says we are a liberal…

Do you remember being told the right was wrong and that rationing wasn't going to happen, and what the right wants to do would cause people to lose portions of their health care and that the right was trying to start a panic etc., etc., etc. Well guess what, the right was right! Imagine that. Rationing is being considered because of shortages of some medications for critically ill people (wonder who will pick and choose the winners and losers............could it be the infamous non…

Judson Phillips posts some very interesting commentary, but this one struck me as being a great analogy about borders and Mr. Obama's misplaced focus. Judson thinks if we are going to show concern for where Israel's borders are, we might at least be a little more attune to what is going on at our own borders, and I agree with him. Why are we putting so much effort into helping our friend Israel, though Obama's advise, put themselves into a undefendable situation while leaving our own…

Want to see first hand the damage being done by liberal professors on college campuses? These young people are clearly very confused as they want to keep their rights to say what they want, but they want to be able to take away other people's rights to free speech if they disagree with their views. Read and watch the videos here:

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...…
