In Pinellas County, Senator Jack Latvala and his ex-wife Susan Latvala have been working for years to bring the unionized bureaucracy of a light rail train to Tampa Bay, and their latest effort desperately needs funding.
HB 865 provides them with at least $90 million…

Senator Latvala is an intelligent experienced politician who has gained power and seniority, and at this point in his career he is used to getting his own way. He has influence, and knows how to use it.
Unfortunately, as a leader he’s like a political Lex Luther; you never know what his true intent is until it’s too late.

As Christmas draws near, all the Pinellas County GOP members are adopting better Yuletide attitudes like being a tad more patient, and perhaps even trying to be a little more spiritual.
Well, not exactly everyone. The Chairman of the GOP, Mr. J. J. Beyrouti seems to exist solely in a parallel universe, where up is down, positive is negative, and conservative is liberal.

While the ACU gave Senator Latvala their highest rating as a Defender of Liberty, the ACLU gave him their highest rating, as a Defender of Freedom! Can both organizations be right?
You the voter are the ultimate arbiter; is Senator Latvala a conservative, moderate, or a progressive Dark Star as one blogger suggested?

It gives me no pleasure to write this article and I have tried to work from the inside, but how can you change the system from the inside when they won’t let you in the door? The policies of Mr. Beyrouti’s PCREC are policies of exclusion, control, and elitism.
Now the RINOs he, and therefore the GOP support, are having a negative effect on the quality of my Liberty and I will remain silent no more.

Senator Bill Nelson announced he is poking Lady Liberty in the eye and supporting the UN Wildlands project…
Karl Marx said “The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.” Apparently, Senator Nelson is a wistful admirer.

Almost all Americans know about the United Nations, but few know about Agenda 21, or the US government’s implementation of UN policies.
The UN issued several policies at the 1992 Earth Summit, one of which was the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Compliance with this UN policy is being driven and managed by the Wildlands Network which shares the same goals as the CBD; to set aside half the land in America for animals…

Women have the power. They take their right to vote seriously and show up at the polls in greater numbers than men according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
In 2008, 60.4 percent of eligible female voters cast their vote versus 55.7% of eligible males. According to the same study, more women are registered to vote than men, 66.6 million versus 63.5 million. Maybe that’s why the “War on Women” has taken a front seat in this election…

This post kicks off a three-part series about the crisis of spending, debt and deficits.
The next part deals with the interval between now and the inevitable arrival of the Minsky Moment, i.e. the unknown and unknowable time when an unsustainable economic phenomenon suddenly collapses.
The third post will address Gotterdammerung, or what happens after the Minsky Moment.

It’s a fair guess that Connie Mack has seen some recent polling that has gotten his attention.
As the week closed out, the rhetoric coming from the Mack campaign took on a rather fervent pitch. In a press release sent out Thursday, it made the claim that opponent George LeMieux has “endorsed raising Florida’s sales tax to a nation-leading 16 percent.”

Florida Democrats believe they can win a few Republican seats in Congress and are preparing a major offensive against several Republicans facing tough challenges this year. They believe that redistricting gives them a chance to offset the seats they are sure to give up.
However, the Democrats still fail to realize the albatross that ObamaCare places on their party’s efforts…

A big well dressed black guy attended the Dallas, TX tea party rally with his white buddy. Both men missed my singing performance on stage minutes earlier.
I asked the black gentleman who had an impressive physique how often he worked out. He replied, “Everyday.” His white buddy said with a chuckle, “He thinks the Tea Party is racist.”
