Scott Shoup On GOP Tax Reform

"I'm really becoming tired of reading in major new outlets that tax reform is the Republicans signature issue. They can't have an honest discussion on the effects of high-end tax cuts on the economy, seeing how they ran on a platform of budget deficits all during the Obama administration. Now in 2017, with honest Republicans like William Buckley and Nelson Rockefeller long gone from the stage, Republicans will rely on a extremely dumbed-down voter base and a President who is a master of media manipulation to try and pass their economic poison. Of course, I should mention corporate Democratics , too."

Republican Party: Bunch Of Do-Nothing, Worthless Pimps

"Keep your hands tight on your wallets – in fact, if you are a member of the Republican Party I would suggest you quit that reckless bunch of do-nothing, worthless pimps and save your soul from this joke. Join the ranks of the NPA instead." Senior Chief Geoff Ross, U.S. Navy (ret.), Navarre here

Geoff Ross is a retired Senior Chief from the US Navy. He had a distinguished career and established his mark starting with being the youngest Senior Chief ever in the Navy. He is one of the staunchest defenders of our Republic and will tell anyone when they are off track and not pull any punches doing so!

"The US government is the most corrupt illegally operated cesspool in our history. I will stay in their faces until these people are jailed, arrested, prosecuted, exposed and taken out of office.! Republicans or Democrats. I do not discriminate." Senior Chief Geoff Ross US Navy retired.

In Florida White People Get A Discount On Speeding Tickets

According to two Princeton researchers, Florida Highway Patrol officers have significant personal leeway to decide how fast you were caught going above the limit and often choose to give people 9 mph fines instead of crossing that 10 mph threshold. (Specific fines vary by county.) According to the researchers, cops tend to give these discounted tickets to white people much more often than
people of color. here
