I don't think this ever ends.  Unless the results instead of the opportunity are equal, they aren't going to be happy.  You can't make someone be good at their job............they have to want to excell and should not be given a promotion unless they do as people's lives depend on them being every bit as good as they should be at every level.  This garbage is insane when it comes to firemen and policemen.  The situations they deal with are at another whole level and just good…

This appears to be good news when few things in the city are.  I am happy to see that those who use the fuel and track it are keeping the amount used very much omnipresent.

This is definitely something we all need to watch.  This is not a bad law; it allows us to take action to protect ourselves if we feel someone is trying to inflict serious bodily harm.  No one should be forced to do nothing or be charged with a crime for protecting themselves from someone trying to kill them or inflict serious bodily harm.  That's my opinion, what's yours?…

This is an update to let everyone know what is going on with the Mayport ferry.  Mr. Gulliford seems to be staying right on top of this issue, and I hope he makes some headway with saving the ferry until a private entity can be found to take it over.

It would appear a workable solution has been found to this problem in Clay County.  It seems a shame that a small group of folks who are against religion or at least appear to be stopping another group from practicing their freedom of religion.  I truly do not believe our religious freedom was ever meant to have some of the constraints on it that non religious zeolots which to impose on this issue.  What's your opinion?…

What are these folks thinking of?  They are violating federal law as our representatives and at our jeopardy.  We will be held accountable for the money spent that is seen in violation..............?#!?/

I did a double take too!  This is unreal.  So many Americans don't have jobs and he is down in Kenya helping their economy.............and trying to improve things.  I am having a hard time being charitable about this, since we have folks who have lost their homes, their jobs, in some cases, their families and with gas prices, if they still have a job and home, it is getting harder and harder to just put food on the table.  And his highness is doing this!…

This is amazing, and ruins our health care system to boot.  There is a huge amount of information on Heritage about the costs of health care and all the new taxes and penalties.  As pointed out in the article, these are only 10 of the 18 new taxes which will take place between 2010 and 2019.  Follow the link at the bottom of the article for more information.…

This is an ongoing saga, and never ending.  Yet another "green" boon doggle with tax payer money for jobs in, of all places, Finland.  That will do all those unemployed Americans a lot of good now, won't it.

And we are all in this mess.  Monsanto is putting genetically modified foods in the markets for us to buy and NOT labeling them for what they are.  Vermont and some other states want to force labeling that is accurate so they know what they are buying, and our federal government will probably support Monsanto if they sue the state for passing a bill requiring labeling.  This is horrendous, and Monsanto has too long run rough shawed over Americans (while other countries won't even…

Very interesting, and certainly not what anyone on the left would want you to believe.  Short video and worth a minute or 2 to watch it.

This is absolutely terrific and a big thank you to Congressman McClintock for taking this on!

Congressman McClintock delivered the following remarks today on the House floor:

You know what?  I am so sick of this foolishness of comparing oneself with others in an effort to make it look like you are doing someone a favor when you raise their taxes, because they really are getting a "good deal".  What world do these lunatics come from anyway?  If you raise my taxes, I take it personally, and I don't care what someone in another town pays.................I am focused on what I am being fleeced for given some of the foolishness these elected…

This is a response to an article from earlier this week about the parks closing earlier than usual at this time of year.  The situation has been resolved.

Recommend you read this as it will give you chills.  This is a program that apparently has not been run properly from the start and didn't even have "a proper curriculum".  More money flushed without even a plan or accountability apparently.  Getting a new leader is only a solution if what is wrong to start with is fixed too!

I am not sure how to feel about this as these incentives have replaced property tax breaks and other incentives that used to be used............somehow, I never really thought about using incentives all that much until we began to see the actual price tag in tax dollars coming out of our pockets.  And now, it is major.  You thoughts?

Several very interesting explanations about what happened are included in the comments on this article, and you may wish to read them. Several folks who actually have expertise in this area have made some very good explanations. I personally have some concern that this may be a reoccurring happening as more testing is done and doesn't speak well for the quality of the work.............but maybe not.…

Here we go again.  More layoffs for another "green" energy company.  And we face 3.1 Billion in government guaranteed loans from 2011.
