Times Union: Sen. Bill Nelson pushes for more financial regulation to lower gas prices

"He wants curbs put on practice he blames for inflating prices."
The main problem I see with this is that Mr. Nelson's approach indicates he thinks government can solve a problem like this (probably, if we checked, we would find some regulation the federal government passed that caused the problem to…

Times Union: Why they don't vote: Behind the opt-out trend in Jacksonville

I am not sure which is worse, people not voting at all or people voting who are totally uninformed and clueless (and far to many are one or the other).

Times Union: JEA drops park plan at new Jacksonville power plant

I can't even begin to tell you how angry I was and still am at reading this article.  I don't know how many of you have seen outrageous increases on your JEA bill, but our increase amounts to almost exactly $100 per month or $1,200 per year at this time over the last little over a year.  They, for that money, are supposed to be providing water and electric services (and all that entails), and they are not supposed to be…

The Hill: Administration rails against GOP plan to block funding for climate regulations

This will do everyone's heart good.  His highness is really angry about the cuts to the EPA as it will stop them from implementing HIS global warming initiatives (that I might add have not been approved by the congress.......).  Boo Hoo.  He had better get used to it, and as far as I am concerned, they didn't go far enough and can defund the whole department and move the few things they do that are worth wild back to the…

How 'The Dirty Dozen' changed our lives (rulings by the Supreme Court)

This is terribly interesting information which we should seriously look at if we are set on returning our country to the founder's vision of a true constitutional republic.  Liberal and activist judges on our supreme court have, over the years, veered way off the mark and have altered our form of government to the point which allows tyrants, like Mr. Obama, to attempt even further erosion of the intent and purpose of our founder's vision of our country and the law of the…

List of our representatives who voted to EXTEND sections of the Patriot Act that are set to expire

Here is a list of those Florida representatives who voted to extend the sections of the Patriot Act that are set to expire.  Shame on them, and where is the constitutional justification the republicans said they would include on every bill they voted on?????  I have already written to Crenshaw and may be time for others to either write or call.…

The Loft: Ok Class, Now It's Time for Our Lesson... in Arabic

By Bobby Eberle

A very well thought out commentary by Dr. Bobby Erbele from GOP USA about the current plan to implement an Arabic culture and language program at a Texas school via the use of a 1.3 million dollar grant provided by the taxpayers via the federal government.  Seems like a large waste of our tax dollars at a time when we are hard pressed to pay the bills we already owe, and smacks…

Egypt's Net shutdown: Could it happen here?

This is a quite a good explanation of the bill to give authority to "kill" certain parts of the Internet to the president, but rather than give the president any more power than he already has in a national emergency, it defines what his powers over the Internet would be and what he could and could not do. Worth the read.

CNS News: Sebelius Defends Individual Mandate; Compares Health Insurance to Buying TV’s

I am still reeling at the analogy between health insurance and buying a television, but you judge for yourself.   Ms. Sebelius actually makes what she considers to be a valid argument that there is a correlation between the two purchases, but you be the judge.  And this lady is our Secretary of Health and Human Services...........heaven help us.

TSA shuts door on private airport screening program

A program which allowed airports to replace TSA screeners with private screening companies has been stopped by Pistole of TSA.  He has denied at least one application and has said he will deny any others he receives.  Pistole says he sees no advantage to the program (I can think of about 62,000 reasons myself).  Florida representative Mica said he will investigage as the 3,700 administrators working for TSA who came up with this decision apparently to protect the jobs of the ballooning…

Daily Paul: Microchiping included in Healthcare Bill ?

Ron Paul writes a daily report and posts it on his site.  The report is not new, but it must be brought to the fore front again to remind us why this horrid health care bill must be repealed (and not just fixed as the tyrant in the white house wishes.  Obamacare has a section which outlines microchipping for all.  Not just older people who might stray due to memory.  This is every single person.  To refresh your memory, here is a link to the article by Congressman Paul, and below that I have…

Family Research Center: The Quam before the Storm

Lois Quam has been personally appointed by president Obama to head the Global Health Initative.  Ms Quam and Hillary Clinton will have a money chest of 63 billion tax payer dollars to use via the Global Health Initative to push abortion rights around the world and attempt to get pro-life legislation in the countries that are pro-life reversed.

American Spectator: Won't Somebody Please Help Frances Fox Piven?

Ms. Piven is a REAL living person, 78 years of age, who still teaches at City University of New York Graduate Center and still writes for The Nation.  This article outlines what Ms Piven, Richard Cloward, and Lloyd Ohlin wrote and accomplished based on their beliefs and little else.  Most of the writings and actions taken by all three of these folks are not based on statistics or even real people.  Apparently, Ms Piven is receiving death…

Big Government.com: Agenda 21, Parts 1 and 2

These 2 links connect into everything you want to know about Agenda 21 in 2 rather long parts but in a very easy to read format.  Rather good explanations about what to look for and what is being done to impose this system and what it will mean to us.  We are going to have to be ever watchful as some politicians apparently think they have the "right" to impose this UN program on us.............it may come down to having to ask how they feel about it when they run for…

The Hill: Reid: Gentlemen’s agreement does not cover healthcare reform repeal

Senator Reid is now saying he can't support or allow a vote on repeal of Obamacare since repeal would really wack seniors.  He has got to be kidding, but I am not sure who he thinks he is fooling.  For those seniors who are lucky enough to have kept their doctors, the services are now sub-standard for many (Reid touts the free health check......really).  Many seniors have lost their doctors and can't find anyone else who will treat them,…

TownHall: Debating the GOP Debates: John Thune Weighs In

NBC and Politico have decided they need the ratings and the bump in popularity and are offering to host the first republican political debate.  Are you as surprised as I am?  I guess NBC got sick of losing viewers and decided maybe there was something to this "fair and balanced" thing (but let's wait and see just to be sure as the far lefters won't be able to control themselves I am quite sure).…

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...…
