What a bunch of word salad. You did not substantiate even one of your claims. Mr. Trump was tried in NY for crimes he committed in NY. He was convicted for specific illegal behaviors by a 12 person jury of his peers. If anything his conviction substantiates the axiom that no one is above the law, and this probably strikes fear into many of his cohorts.
Congratulations to these gentlemen who achieved their Eagle Scout. The Eagle Scout achievement is a classic among those who have gone forward and made successful careers for themselves. The work and dedication to get the Eagle Scout is what shows the characteristics that will make them great leaders.
Now that KVO is running for District 7, I would gladly post one of these signs. This complaint is bull. David Daniels is not a candidate but a private citizen expressing his first amendment right to free speech. He is not selling the signs, paying for them out of his own pocket. KVO is such a wuss that he has his brother file the complaint even though the statute says the candidate should file the complaint.
Your question could be asked a bit better. My opinion hasn't changed, he's a disgusting liar and now a convicted felon; but, one of his supporters could have the same answer and feel he got a raw deal.
Well said, Misty. I agree that there is a foolish level of grift being passed around as normal. But the flat-out lying.... that's a whole other level of unacceptable.
Everybody knows this Mitch. I and most of us who have no options to leave Florida for various reasons are telling our friends outside this "zoo" about poor opportunities for educators here... both on the academic freedom level and long term economic level. Thoughtful well educated parents of children in Florida who can afford it would be advised to find ways to supplement their kids education with tutors; and send their kids out of the state for higher degrees that will mean something.
THE ONLY NO BRAINER CHOICE IS TO VOTE FOR SCOTT FARRINGTON....CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT DESATON CREATED in his appointment...Satcher NOT ELECTED But APPOINTED...BIG DIFFERENCE...VOTE SCOTT FARRINGTON
A partner NDC also spoke to the council. The project has received $55,000 from the CRA. These are two grants. One for $20,000 and one for $35,000. I agree with the grant process to encourage new business in CRA districts. However, at the meeting it was mentioned more incentives would be ask. for from the CRA. I questioned the CRA Director and he refused to discuss. I also sent an email requesting the data for Public awareness and Transparency. Another business on the agenda the same day was denied hours of operation and has been to the council at least three times. The discussion went on for probably an hour or more just before Good Liquid's request. It was questioned as to why the previous business was not allow hours of operation and this Business was never questioned. You should go play the YouTube video to verify these facts and make your own determination. On one hand the Mayor and council say they are going to pass a new ordinance restricting alcohol use on Main Street. Bradenton Times please ask for a public records request to enlighten us on the new CRA funding for this project.
I can understand why both redlining and bluelining exist, insurance companies need to be price competitive and have an ability to make money.
While I don’t support redlining because the criteria has been largely race related, I have to accept that I moved to a coastal community in Florida knowing that climate change is underway and that things are going to get worse. In coastal Florida communities, most of the residents are fairly, to fabulously, affluent and they used their affluence to be close to the water.
We should not mess with insurance companies responding to climate change in order to protect affluent people from their decision to ignore the climate evidence. If we outlaw bluelining, we will be stealing from the less affluent to protect the more affluent.
VOTE SCOTT FARRINGTON....DESATON YOU SUCK AND GOT THIS ONE SO WRONG...YOU MUST BE VERY PROUD TO CAVE FOR DONATIONS AND INTEGRITY TO APPOINT AN IDIOT OVER THE ONLY QUALIFIED SCOTT HOPES....
The shift away from the El Niño event creates the non El Niño pattern or the absense of El Niño. Without quibbling with the analysis of the effects likely to occur, the scientific basis of expert meteorology tempts me to digress and appeal for some rational discussion of scientific information. El Niño is the name given to an upwelling pattern that appears regularly off the western coast of South America. Its Catholic inhabitants recognized that it coincided with the approach of Christmas and so when it was repeating, they named it to honor the coming of the Christ child, Jesus (El Niño). I have no idea who decided to use a bizarre sexual dicotomy contrary to that cultural, religious, and linguistic tradition. The dicotomy is based on complete ignorance. But here we have it. Who, pray tell (I use the phrase deliberately) is La Niña? Perhaps a female deity on the other side of a dicotomy in Catholicism that appears during years without the upwelling? Perhaps we have lost knowledge of fraternal twins born in a manger and so on? Could we have been left with only half of the saviors enshrined in Catholicism? Is ths like the suppression of the female prophits of the old testament? Now resurrected, can we ever decipher her name and the details of her sacred life?
I advocate for the reversal of this ignorance being bandied about by folks supposedly discussing scientific knowledge based on facts — and advocate for the use of terminology that is based on reality. Adoption of a more accurate term (as suggested above) could become a social movement against ignorance — it could begin right here! Imagine, we could get into Ripley's or be the notation in Merrium Webster about the first instance of usage...
We need a cause such as this if we are going to suffer the dreadful consequences of the absence of El Niño or the non El Niño. Are you with me? thanks for the patience reading through my rant about a pet peeve...
The citizen initiatives reflect the will of the people and will benefit them. With perhps one exception regarding homestead exemptions, the amendments proposed by the legislature reflect the will of the fianciers of the legislators who have been unwilling to protect the clearly expressed will of the people in order to benefit their financial "investors" significantly.
Here's hoping TBT tackles each of the amendments proposed by the state legislature and informs the voters about the ramifications of each (no matter how benign the titles appear). Let's encourage snook without being snookered. Pay attention and pass it on... November will be here quickly.
Are the Republicans you elect going to put the man who led the greatest Medicare fraud in history in charge of the national party in the federal senate? Country above any other factors — do not vote against your own welfare. Choose carefully who you vote for.
Keep in mind that Chief Tom Wooten was one of the employees who was put on administrative leave during the medieval fair property debacle. probably do almost anything for that to not happen again.
Huh.... it's like perhaps more factors are involved than just one politically polarizing, religiously motivated thing...
It would be nice if perhaps we could look at other things... things like nutrition, or stress levels, or economic instability, or housing instability or even how many people chose not to have kids because the coming global warming situation has not been handled?
