TU: Teachers unions challenge Florida's merit-pay law in court

 Teachers are supposed to teach and do that job well. Obviously in our fair city, the job is not doing well since so many schools are doing very poorly, so holding teachers accountable for the quality of the job they do makes great sense. Teachers, however, do not wish to be held accountable for doing a good job????

TU: Economist: Jacksonville had enough money when it asked cops for cuts

Every time I see something like this, it tells me that the police union (which already has our city in a state of bankrupcy over their pension fund which is 1.6 billion in the hole) wants every single dime the city has above and beyond absolute necessities. What is wrong with this union. Thier economist is targeting the emergency fund and funds held as contingent? The emergency fund is in the event we had a disaster like a really bad hurricane or something of that nature so the…

Patriot Update: Totalitarian Program ‘Agenda 21′ Now in Effect!

This is beyond scary and we all know our own city council members are using the terminology thinking it is hip or some other such thing.  They hear this public private partnership stuff and don't realize it is taking us into agenda 21 and allowing appointed people to make rules that are laws and have programs that raise taxes when they are not elected officials and do not and should not be allowed to do this.  It is taxation without…

TU: Library lovers protest proposal to reduce the system’s budget

People need to show up in force and support the cuts being made to the library.  They have used scare tactics for their cuts which could have easily been made across the whole system without harming services by very much at all.  The cuts have to be made or taxes will be raised again this year since all of the groups facing cuts will lobby and next year, they will increase their budgets again and taxes will go up yet again.  They are a disease that requires feeding annually, and…

TU: Mayor's proposed budget calls for ending overnight camping at Huguenot Park

This is chump change compared to the cuts that need to be made.  Have you sent an Email to your city council person, called them, gone to city hall to speak to them or written a letter and mailed it. This is VERY important.  Serious cuts must be made in this year's budget.  Richard Clark has been leading the way in the finance committee and I am proud of him for keeping his word to the…

TU: Jacksonville City Council, Mayor Brown tussle over budgeting vs. reorganization

Have you sent an Email to your city council person, called them, gone to city hall to speak to them or written a letter and mailed it.  This is VERY important.  If the cuts do not take place, not only will we be stuck with the huge garbage fee increase, the council will raise property taxes yet again!  No business is going to move into a city that raises taxes and fees every single…

Conservative Byte: College demands 9-11 tribute include flags from other countries – or face cancellation

These liberal colleges should have their wings clipped.  This clearly is unconstitutional, and although I don't have proof, it smells of the same handiwork of the white house forced on all 9/11 memorials!  They don't want patriotic (or anything religious)  which is clearly what these young people planned!

Patriot Update: Senate quietly approves $500B increase in borrowing authority

I feel ill over this since we just increased the debt ceiling by over 2 trillion.................where did that money go or has Obama already whistled through that too????

 

September 10, 2011

The action came under an unusual legislative procedure spelled out under the August agreement to raise the U.S. debt ceiling and avoid a U.S. credit default. In a 52-45 vote, the Senate blocked an attempt by Republicans to slow down the process that will result in the $500 billion…

Front Porch Politics: Obama’s Gaff Went Unnoticed!

I think many of us noticed what he said but considered the source of the comments as well.  Obama is totally clueless and apparently thinks it is ok for him to violate his oath to office.  He is also wrong about social security, because many will suffer damage that can't be repaired when the system is disbanded or changed and any coverage they paid for or might have had will disappear.  So it would have been better to leave people responsible for themselves instead of creating…

Patriot Update: Islamic Attacks and Threats During Obama’s Presidency

I assume if we have another attack tomorrow, Mr. Obama will tell us we shouldn't rush to make a judgement again?????

 

Written on September 10, 2011 by Ann-Marie Murrell

Last year Obama made a statement during a 9/11 event in which he said “as Americans we are not — and never will be — at war with Islam.”

Maybe the president needs to remind Islam about this because they certainly don’t seem to know.

Since taking office, the U.S.…

Huffington: 9/11 Anniversary Terror Threat: At Least 2 Suspects In Possible Attack May Be U.S. Citizens, Say Officials

A fairly liberal media source, but lots of info on this possible attack.  We all need to be very vigilent on 9/11 since we really have no idea what is going to happen or even if the feds know of every attempt that is planned.  Be safe everyone and be careful!

Yahoo: White House floods reporters’ inboxes after Obama’s jobs speech

Is the White House DELIBERATELY trying to turn reporters against them?   It seems they think sending each reporter 50 emails bragging about Ovomit's speech and his jobs bill will  convince them he is truly great; however, one wonders how delighted these reporters are having what are probably already full email addys loaded down with repeated back stroking by the white house.

LA Times: 961 days in, Obama becomes sick and tired of someone dawdling about jobs

This should give Obama a big HINT about how he is doing when the LA Times slams him as hard as they did today over his spending speech last evening.   My husband and I still watch (if nothing else than to be totally amazed by his audacity).   He is stuck on failure and pretty obvious, he is not going to move off the hard left approach to everything, but I thought it was a nice touch to try to make folks think he was a patriotic person when nothing could be further from the…

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...…
