Should we follow the money on this redistricting debacle?
An investigation by local grassroots activists associated with CCDFusa.com has uncovered a money trail that MAY lead to a more sinister issue at work here.

Shouting is not an argument
Democrats are intensifying their efforts to gain more seats on the City Council, via redistricting. As the City Council’s Special Committee on Redistricting began its work this week on “remedy maps” in response to a federal court ruling that still is on appeal, liberals put on a display of bad manners intended to intimidate the […]
New vaccine mandate does not make sense
Most parents want to protect their child from harm or hardship. However, the reality is that this is a tumultuous world filled with uncertainties.

How long should politicians stay in office?
Everybody loves term limits, it seems. But does it really make sense? The topic came up at a monthly meeting of past presidents of the Jacksonville City Council.

Jax gets international attention but…
Congratulations are in order for Lenny Curry, lame duck mayor of Jacksonville, for putting our little old city on the map.

Curry glossed over an important fact in his drug message
It was nice that Mayor Lenny Curry took recognition of Overdose Awareness Day, which is Aug. 31. But he skipped over an important point. The main reason for 480 opioid-related deaths in Jacksonville during the first half of 2021 was: the Democrat Party policy of opening our borders to the world. As Curry said, 91 […]
