Heritage Foundation: Obamacare’s Impact on Doctors

The democrats in congress and the senate and the president are always able to tell you amazing stories about what Obamacare does and in glowing terms.  However, there is a much worse side to Obamacare and conservatives and those in favor of repeal and replacement with market based solutions must begin to tell their stories about what is wrong with Obamacare and it's negative impact.  This is a short video, and the first of several Heritage…

The American Spectator: Texas Tea

Have to watch as new people of interest start announcing they will be running in 2012.   Michael Williams is a conservative and has also spoken at tea parties.  He has an admirable backgroud as well and is apparently pretty well known both in his state and in DC!  Here's hoping many more will step forward to run for both the congress and the senate. 

Well worth…

U.S. News: Obama's State of the Union Was Tantamount to Plagiarism

U. S. News did their homework and found that most of the SOTU speech was "borrowed" from a number of other people.  As the article states:  "If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, what can be said of plagiarism? President Obama’s second SOTU contained enough recycled ideas and lines lifted from speeches of others to make historians wince".   Very well put together article with links to polls or other related information.

 

I found…

Times Union: Jacksonville officials: Nonprofit didn’t pay building contractor costs

Riverside Avondale Development filed paperwork with the city indicating they had paid the bills from contractors, and they hadn't paid them.  The city has now released funds for one of the bills and is researching the other bill to pay as well.  They will be going back on the development, but in the mean time the taxpayers of Jacksonville on the hook for the cost of this.…

Times Union: Florida lawmakers turning toward pension plan cuts

Because our state, like the city, will be dealing with a rather large short fall in revenue, our state is now seriously looking to fix pension plans that have been approved in the past.  All of the folks that sat with unions and agreed to these unreal contracts basically knew they would never have to deal with the problems when they finally hit, so they kicked the can down the street to some unknown governor.  The process has begun at any rate, and this article details the…

Times Union: Mullaney, Moran spar at county GOP meeting

It was, I thought, a very interesting forum and as indicated somewhat heated.  I would say, the Times Union has left out that Mr. Mullaney was not involved in the union contract negotiations in spite of the fact Ms Moran keeps insisting he was (and apparently has made the statement to other groups as well), and Mr. Mullaney indicated which law firm was involved in the negotiations.  Apparently their is a feud going on…

Times Union: Jacksonville police union boss: John Peyton hiding money for 'secret projects'

Totally sad that this is going this way.  I can't say I have much faith in Peyton these days (not that I really ever did), but this debacle with the police unions is a real nightmare with Mr. Cuba making some really over the top accusations. 
 
Article well worth the read and can be found…

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...…
