Twelve-year-old Zachary Sharples, his father and his 4-year-old brother have had Rays Fever all season long.

The Three Amigos vs. The Dynamic Duo
The Dynamic Duo: Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Kendrick Meek
The Three Amigos: Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Mario Diaz Balart, and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen
Have been in Congress for years, yet we have little to show for it. The Diaz-Balart boys are two peas in a pod. Their father was Rafael Diaz-Balart, a well-to-do, wheeling, dealing member of the Cuban aristocracy. His sister, Mirta, was married to Fidel Castro. The Diaz-Balart family, along with most of the Cuban aristocracy, were big supporters of Castro until the wheels fell off..........here

The Real Agenda: A Massive Transfer of Wealth
The Transfer Of Power From The Hands Of The Many To The Hands Of The FewIn 1942, German intelligence officers rounded up skilled Jewish prisoners and launched Operation Bernhardt, a clever scheme designed to counterfeit hundreds of millions of dollars worth of British Pounds and destroy the British economy by flooding it with counterfeit money. Today, in America, the Federal Reserve is doing the exact same thing by flooding the U.S. economy with counterfeit dollars.

Tampa's WFLA Feeds The Propaganda
On Tampa Bay's NBC's WFLA affiliate, Keith Cate's interview of Sarah Palin on Monday, Oct. 6, was quite disappointing.
