House Republicans voted Thursday to keep restrictions on Americans seeking to travel to Cuba. The Republican provision is the handiwork of Rep. Mario (Frado) Diaz-Balart, a topLieutenant in The Miami Cuban Mafia. The White House has threatened to veto the bill.
The shady deal between Ken Hagan and Victor Crist can be put to rest.
Legendary Right-Winger Jim Norman wants to fill Kevin Beckner's seat on the county board. Will any big-name Right-Wingers file to challenge him. Our old friend Ronda Storms didn't return calls to the Times, but she tends to lie low until she's ready to pounce. Also beware of local Tea Party extraordinaire Sharon Calvert. Others (Ray Young, E.J. Otero and Tim Schock) also want in.

Bruce Nissen, the author of a Florida International University study examining the issue in Florida said, “There’s no real comparison between the two, If you’re looking for efficient government, I think there’s no question, go with the Miami-Dade model.”
The Republican members of the commission did the exact opposite, supporting their love for a Palm Beach County version that on its face appears to favor businesses and not the workers who aren’t receiving a full paycheck. here
In Hillsborough County
Democrats: 306,321
Republicans: 246,289
Others: 223,805
Who the hell votes for these people? Wake up Hillsborough County Dems, are you so lazy you can't get out and vote? Pat Kemp could be there now instead of Higginbotham. And if the man is sticking it to you and you vote GOP, take it deep!
Oye hermanos y hermanas mantienen votando Republicano
Here's a bit of irony—the place in the country that has the most Obamacare enrollees and stands to lose the most if the Supreme Court rules against subsidies is the stomping grounds of two Republican candidates for president. Both of those candidates, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, want to repeal Obamacare. The place is Hialeah, Florida, a primarily Cuban-American town just 10 miles from Miami.here

Here's my idea, change the Republican fairy tale of GOP to GOR. That would stand for Government of the Rich.
1) The Congress has recently voted to abolish the Estate Tax. This of course benefits only the top one tenth of one percent of us. 2) Corporate welfare equaling $100 billion per year. 3) Tax give aways or direct subsidies at the state, county and city level equaling $80 billion dollars per year. 4) Corporate tax subsidies equaling $100 billion per year. 5) Even though the oil companies are making tens of billions of dollars per year, you and I are giving them $4.5 billion of dollars per year in subsidies. 6) Despite record crop prices the Congress voted to increase big Farma's Government give away by billions of dollars per year. 7) The top 10 banks in the US receive $83 billion per year in subsidies. Remember the "stimulus" of 2008? We gave them $700 billion on that one. 8) This is a little known fact; the U.S. insurance companies will receive $1.071 trillion in the next 10 years in government subsidies. 9) There is no intelligent method to put a number on the amount of money the Wall Street companies receive per year, but it must be in the trillions. You take a guess.
10) Increasing military spending every year, while cutting every social program across the board to pay for it. You will love what else he has to say. here
You know the GOP is in trouble when this is coming from someone in a very heavy Republican part of Florida.
From Aurora, Colorado. was fired for giving out school lunches to elementary school kids who did not have money.
“I had a first grader in front of me, crying, because she doesn’t have enough money for lunch. Yes, I gave her lunch, and i would do it again” Curry said.
this must make people like Republican Jack Kingston furious. Children should work hard for their cheese sandwiches and not have some welfare-queen-lunchmarm giving them food for free. Those smiling faces ain't gonna pay for daddy's corporate tax break and it definitely won't build a state of the art children's prison. Before we yell at the school district, remember, it wasn't the district that refused to earmark $124,229 to help cover costs for school breakfasts for poor children.
The people who did that were Republicans. Specifically, Republicans.
The Colorado Department of Education requested an additional $124,229 for the Start Smart Nutrition Program, which subsidizes the cost of breakfast at school for poor children, for the current budget year ending in June. However, the request failed on a 3-3 party-line vote.
Cameron Boland a model student—captain of the basketball team, class president, delegate for the leadership camp Girl State, and historian for her school's honor society chapter won an election to represent her county as a National Honor Society officer, but that title didn't last long:
Cameron won a coveted election for NHS historian for Lee County in early May and within an hour had been stripped of the title — because of what she was wearing— a spaghetti-strap style sundress. here
