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.

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...…
