JTA, DEI & Consultants. Oh My.
Scandalous, offensive, cruel, repugnant, one-way ticket to hell, and morally reprehensible. Those are just a few of the feels felt after watching a local reporter’s spectacular investigation into the Jacksonville Transportation Authority. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority is a public service, funded by us, charged with serving us. All they have to do is pick people […]
Do as the Romans did, local politician says
GOP political leader Robin Lumb is suing the Republican Party of Florida and its chairman over his ouster from an elected position in the party, which was engineered by the local chairman of the party. The suit filed in Circuit Court seeks a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief. In essence, the suit is asking the […]
New School Board is what the schools needed
In the midst of an ambitious building plan, the government schools in Duval County claim they are short of money. The new superintendent says it is necessary to cut $97 million from the budget. The school budget this year is almost $1.5 billion, so the task is to trim it by about 6.5 percent, perhaps […]
Transgenders in bathrooms goes to DC
MSNBC ran a snarky, motive-imputing story headlined, “Nancy Mace wants to welcome the first openly trans member of Congress with a bathroom ban.” You can thank Delaware voters, who elected Tim “Sarah” McBride as the nation’s first openly cross-dressing Congressman, er, Congresswoman, um, oh fine, Congressperson. Despite MSNBC’s paranoia that radical Christians are racing around […]
Trying to explain falling test scores can be complicated
Scores on standardized tests are dropping in Florida, a situation some find startling and complicated to explain.

Breaking: How will Trump deport illegal immigrants?
Well, this one-word post from President Trump early this morning seems pretty huge: It may have only been one word, but it included four exclamation marks. I can’t decide which is more encouraging, the prospect of using the military to help process millions of deportations, or the irony that Trump will declare a national state […]
Left wingers chalk up victories in a conservative county
“Every vote counts,” voters are told every election, and it proved true once again in critical city commission races in Fernandina Beach. Republicans outnumber Democrats in Nassau County by more than 3-1, but liberal candidates won three spots on the five-member commission, and the mayor’s office. A key race was between candidate Genece Minshew and […]
Floridian Matt Gaetz’ nomination for AG causes panic and head spinning in the Swamp
The trolling reached epic levels yesterday as President Trump announced his pick to replace widely hated Merrick Garland for Attorney General: Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz. Nobody saw it coming. It was white-hot news, a veritable reporting earthquake, and it would be a miracle if you haven’t already heard. But, just in case, Axios reported the […]
Libs fear the money faucet might be shut off
One of the first things the local Democrat media thought of after Donald Trump’s glorious victory over the Dark Side of the Force was how much money the city might not get in federal handouts. They should worry. If Trump follows through, revenue sharing will be cut drastically, along with useless bureaucracies in the government […]
