TU: State funding forecast looks bright for Florida ports

Interesting considering they are thinking of cutting the Mayport ferry to "save" money to create jobs?  We need to thank Governor Scott for being more friendly to our fine city than Crist was (is anyone surprised).

TU: Debate putting Jacksonville in country's spotlight

Although I wish no ill to UNF (and am glad for a little national spotlight time for them), I wish they had chosen a larger venue for this, so more people could go if the school truly didn't feel they had something larger.  As it is, many people, will be turned away after all the insiders get their seats.  It was a huge disappointment to me that UNF didn't use the sports complex where they have (at least used to have) graduations which has a huge amount of seating and could have…

TU: Jacksonville Port Authority chairman supports Mayport ferry

This is something I believe we need to be vocal on.  There are many things going on right now that would destroy Mayport and should not be allowed to happen.  The ferry is part of this little seaport town and needs to be preserved for future generations.  Suggestions on how to do that???  On the blog related to this post, a couple of folks have indicated selling advertising on the ferry..........

The Patriot Update: US Textbooks: Muslims Discovered America

And you wonder why you can't have an intelligent conversation with so many young people.  Could it be because they are no longer taught anything of any use and certainly are not taught real world history or American history.  Liberals have turned out school system into a place where you are wasting your time sending your children unless you want them brainwashed into the liberal way of thinking.  This is a travesty.  K thru 12 are using Saudi funded textbooks?

Well, it is official, you no longer have freedom of religion. Sebelius has over ridden your religious freedom.

Well, it is official, you no longer have freedom of religion.  The president and his charming head of health and human services have decided they will define what you can believe in and do.  And Ms Sebelius thinks she has struck a balance between our religious liberty and ????   No in a Chicago heart beat!  She has told people she doesn't care what they believe in, they will provide contraception and other birth control measures no matter their religious beliefs, but then again,…

U.S. Chamber of Commerce appeal for folks to write to Obama about his denial for the keystone pipeline

Although the president has said he considered the time limit for a decision to be political and arbitrary..........I guess, my first response was "what".  This is a man who has started using as his slogan "we can't wait (for congress to act)", and one of his appointments was never even given to the senate, but he is given 3 months to make a decision on this, and it is too hard????  Obama has some serious credibility issues for me, and I hope if you have some time, you will write…

TU: Senate finishes its redistricting work

When you read this, you will be quite angry.  These folks totally ignored the vote by the people of the state for compact districts and had in mind eliminating all the gerrymandered districts.  For our Florida senators and representatives have kept all the gerrymandered districts in place totally, so what was the point of asking people what they wanted????  This is a travesty and certainly our representatives at the state level have totally ignored the wishes of the people.  They…

DAILY CALLER: Live free or die: either way, they’ll let you vote in New Hampshire

I have actually put 2 articles on this subject here, but have tried to separate them for you.  Very interesting and certainly Mr. Okeefe is still out there trying to change things (and I am grateful he is even if he uses some unconventional methods)!

WND: Single state defies Obama detention plan, Rhode Island

Nullification at work in the State of Rhode Island and think other states should follow suit and pass similiar laws.  Rhode Island doesn't have this law on the books yet, but certainly has it in the works.  Wonder if Governor Scott will also put a bug in our legislators ears to get something like this done to protect the residents of Florida?

 

New law is 'repugnant to sensibilities' of founding…

Vision to America: Obama says US needs a new government

Obama keeps saying garbage about moving forward and things aren't the same etc., to justify making himself a dictator and changing our form of government, but the founders knew him well.  Here are some of the things Jefferson said:

Bloomberg: Haley’s Picking Romney Shocks Tea Party Disrupting Republicans

All is not sweetness and light in South Carolina.  And this too is of concern to me, because it would appear that Haley did was all good Rino republicans do (don't even say the name McCain as the name makes me ill).  Haley talked a good game until it was time to put up or shut up.  She didn't put up; she compromised her conservative credentials away, and folks in SC feel they were deceived as she melded right into the "go along to get along" crowd................here in lies the…

Heritage: Regs, Spending Sink U.S. to 10th Place on Index of Economic Freedom

Please note that the changes downward are at an excellerated pace since the current person went to reside in the white house.   We must replace him and the sooner the better, but we must get someone who will change things for the better, so be careful everyone!  We can't afford to make any mistakes this time around.

TU: Council on new FOP contract: No comment

This is the second of these articles and this one was in the TU the day the contract was agreed on.  I had been led to understand council approval was not needed if they agreed, and fortunately, the city council must approve if the vote goes to accept the agreed upon contract.

TU: Council Mum on Police Contract

I wondered why we hadn't heard much on the union agreement.  Councilman Yarborough says it isn't final as yet as the folks haven't voted to accept or reject it which means the council members really can not talk about it as it may still end up in front of them.

I agree!  Thank God for bringing us this wonderful young man and a wonderful role model for young people.  We are blessed for once to have the buzz be about someone who isn't using drugs, alcohol or hurting animals, and I am grateful!

Curtis Lee: The City Can and Should Take Control of Jacksonville Police and Fire Pension Fund (PFPF)

 Curtis Lee is a retired attorney, and a member of Concerned Taxpayers of Duval County, who has been involved in working with pension funds for literally years and our city pension for many years as well.   He has written articles and researched and documented the following which was sent to our city council for action.  Thus far, no action has been taken even though changes in the management of PFPF are not only called for but would be in the best…

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...…
