More has been revealed about Trayvon Martin's expulsions from school that was not immediately released. We were told the expulsion was based on Martin having a baggie with marijuana residue in his bookbag. What we weren't told is he had a dozen pieces of unexplained women's jewelry, and a large screw driver/pry bar, too, plus he'd vandalized a door. Previous suspensions had been given for excessive absences/tardiness. He was on a current 10 day suspension when shot. This is not the innocent child the media wants us to believe.

Here is very important quest for immediate discussion. Why...why are the media and national black leaders so driven to make the Florida teen's death such a racial issue?

One of the online Christian newsletters really nailed its description of the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton. Their rush to blame, condemn, and convict people long before all the evidence is revealed truly makes them "race hustlers". potUS O'Blather fits this description as well, but not under the banner of a reverend.

What an appropriate and timely quote cite: "If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair." - C. S. Lewis " -- Of course, neither Jackson or Sharpton are looking for the truth or comfort.

Is it just me, or do you think it's dignified, appropriate, for our president to enter a conference of World leaders with a mouth full of gum and mimicking a cow chewing cud? It's certainly not a pretty thought to even think about, but even uglier to actually see.

29 judges have signed the recall petition to remove Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. The ones that will talk about it don't consider it "political"! This is a major 'what's wrong' with our legal system... judges that make judgements based on personal politics versus the law. What's even sadder is that this info was made public by some of the 2 dozen or so Gannett reporters who ALSO signed the petition. How can Gannett be trusted to present the news in a fair manner?

A downtown nightclub owner who's a convicted felon...19-year old out nightclubbing... now, no NOW is the time to enforce the regulations concerning alcohol. Let's start with contacting our state Reps and Senators to make the use of a driver's license checking terminal mandatory in all sales of alcohol in public access locations, and complete listings of all principals, silent ones as well, involved with the ownership/operation of any such outlets.

L-E headline: "Syria accepts peace plan * Violence continues as soldiers and rebels clash" -- More accurately, Syria accepted a peace plan, but didn't give one in return.

Sam Olens says Mayor Obamalinson's assessment of the tax freeze laws are right. Whether she's right or wrong is not as big an issue as the tax situation at the Eagle & Phenix Condominiums. Million dollar properties are paying less than $400.00 (below the new minimum service fee being discussed, about $20,000 or more less in taxes that a similar property not covered by special legislation). Owners who live there can buy a parking space in the new parking garage adjacent to the E & P, and actually pay more in property tax on the parking spots than on their qualifying condo purchase next door.
