Government has failed the people of France, as Washington has failed America

The events in Paris yesterday were not a failure of human events but a complete failure on government policies. These are the same policies that are modeled off of and are encouraging a unified entity known as the New World Order. I don’t believe in conspiracies, but do follow the thinking of the socialist left that intends on making people dependent on government and not on their own capabilities. The fact are evident with governments attempting to reshape the faces of the Middle East into a “more acceptable” form of governing by giving people “freedoms” to choose their leadership. What is being forgotten is the fact that the Middle East is dominated with Islam, a culture of violence and control. For tens of thousands of years, true democracies have not existed in any Middle Eastern country and never will as long as Islam is the influencing factor. Our elected leaders in this country have failed to secure our borders and protect our people. Just hours before the devastating Islamic attacks in Paris, our President made claim that ISIS was under control. He has made more claims in the past that have all been proven to be false. We as Americans demand better and I expect our President to perform better, regretfully his arrogance as well as corrupt administration continues to spin and cover up facts. The American People now demand, no refuges from the Middle East, secure our borders now and do what we pay you for, serve the best interest of America and not your socialist agenda fueled by corrupt appointees for self-gain.

Time to rebuild America

It has been quite some time since I last posted. Over the past years, I have been aggressively starting building and branding a new business (along with great business partners). Also, I have finished grad school and getting ready to continue onto an advanced degree (yes at my old age). The past six and half years has been horrific to America because of the lack of a leader in the White House, broken promises by both sides of the Capital and a leadership from the Republican that was more concerned about going to social event rather than controlling spending and our liberties. Today,we live in a country of desperation, despair and dangerous.We continue to export jobs to foreign interest, have serious issues with both China and Russia, increasing threats from Islamic extremest, people unemployed or under employed and so on. To touch on the threat from radical Islam, Nazi Germany at the height of Nazi control, approx 5% of people in Germany were in the Nazi Party in a country of approx 69 million people. The Nazi's almost took over Europe and had their eyes set on the US. Today, the threat comes from the East, not Russia or China, but Islam. today, we have approx 1.57 billion Muslims in the world. Approx 7- 10% are identified as radical. The same radicals that want to kill infidels (you and I) and convert the earth to only Islam. So, if you do the math, so 3.45 million people in Germany almost controlled all of Europe. And depending on what formula you use for Islam, between 100 to 250 million radicals in their religion that want to take over the earth, can you see a problem? Today the difference is, we fought the Nazis and what they stood for in the early 1940 and we knew who they were. Today under the leftist controlling the US as well as most of Europe, we are suppose to be tolerate of our enemies. Think about it,because in several years, we might not be able to.

Manatee County School Board needs to clean house

Being a business owner, I am held to a budget that is based on revenue. Government should be no different; however the opposite appears evident with some in leadership roles. Manatee County School District is seeing their revenue streams shrink, yet many in administration blame Tallahassee because of loose accounting and mismanaged finances.
Our revenue problems are an output of bad spending habits that started under Dr. Roger Dearing. Then Director of Finance, Tim McGonagall was in charge of how our Districts monies were used. There have been questions in independent audits about the use of sales tax in addition to other gray areas.
Our District spends more time in litigation that on task of providing education to special needs. The numbers of dollars spent on legal fees is amazing and to only end up losing the cases. It seems as if every parent trying to get services for their children are challenged by an incompetent ESE leadership team.
As parent and tax payers, I demand better as does many in the district. It is time that Superintendent McGonagall, Attorney John Bowen and ESE Director Ron Russell step down for the better of the community.

Learn from Texas

With current economic downturns, America needs to find ways to create jobs and now, not in years to come. The impact is felt in states from coast to coast, but none harder than here in Florida.
Unemployment rates average in Florida well over 12%, and some claim it is as high as 20% in certain areas. These numbers are easy to validate, just stop by a local food pantry or church aide location. There are line out the door and around the corner. Locally, Metropolitian Ministries has seen a major increase in participation and a slow down in donations.
Florida's 45th Governor, Rick Scott has proposed a solution to jump start the economy of the state. He had an aggressive plan to reduce corporate tax liability, thus attracting more outside investments. Additionally, he wants to deregulate many areas of business to make it easier to start, expand and grow small businesses. This is the key to success and I will explain why.
Texas is pro-business with reasonable regulations. The state has been ranked #1 over the past three years by corporate leaders because of this and other factors. Additionally, Texas alone is the 12th largest economy in the world. Why is this, because they thrive and not just survive. The state of Texas also shares some of the better public schools systems in the US.
Texas has added approximatly 70% of all new jobs created in the US within their states lines.Do we see a trend? Deregulation works!
Governor Rick Scott is a true proponent of this and will guide the state of Florida through these hard economic times and help rebuild this great state.

Let the races begin, New Hampshire 2012

New Hampshire has a proud history for being the first in the Nation gauge for who is who in the Presidential election cycle. This process goes back to 1916 when people were not voting directly for the candidates but for delegates for the National Convention. Then in 1949 Richard Upton decided to make the primary more meaningful by passing legislation allowing the people to vote directly for the candidates instead of for delegates.

In 1952, the first true primary was started when just under 43% of New Hampshire voters first casted their votes. Later in 1977, delegate’s names were removed from the ballots and a law enacted that to ensure that New Hampshire remained the first in the nation primary state. This in turn made the voice of the people to have a direct vote, thus the “first in the nation primary” unlike a caucuses.

Voters in New Hampshire are considered independent voters, therefore can be seen as a great gauge for the nations thinking process of who is best. Unlike other parts of the country such as the liberal west coast, social conservative south and other areas of the Country that all have certain political interest, New Hampshire tends to have a true mix of social and economic conservatives.

Stay tuned for more information on the upcoming first in the nation primary as we explore more history of this great event, watch who’s running and provide some insight on the candidates.
