Orlando Terror

Radical Islam strikes again in the SODO district in the heart of downtown Orlando.

Terrorism is alive and well contrary to media reports and the bumbling of President Obama. When will America wake up!

Is anybody paying attention?

"ISIS Announced Florida Threat THREE Days Ago: “We Will Attack Florida!”

ISIS Muslim terrorists released a statement on their plan to attack Florida, and even put out a list with the names of people in Florida that they plan on killing."

Our president refuses to identify the enemy, and is making feeble if any efforts to eliminate them. Given the failure to face this evil with adequate force, no wonder the Trump train is gaining momentum! Americans have had enough!

“Our nation is at war. From 9/11 to the Boston Marathon, from Fort Hood to Chattanooga, from San Bernardino to last night’s horrific attack in Orlando, radical Islamic terrorism has declared jihad on America.” “It is a time for action. We need a Commander in Chief who will speak the truth, and who will unleash the full force and fury of the American military to utterly destroy ISIS and its affiliates." ---Sen. Ted Cruz (R:TX)

As we expressed in previous posts, we had little doubt a terrorist act was imminent; however we had no idea it would occur in our own back yard.

We also had noted repeatedly Obama is not only the worst president ever but the first anti-American president.

Obama is literally on the other team, and Donald Trump just eluded to it, noting "He doesn't get it or he gets it better than anybody understands. It's one or the other, and either one is unacceptable." "We're led by a man who is a very -- look, we're led by a man that either is, is not tough, not smart, or he's got something else in mind," which we consider to be the destruction of the United States of America as you have known her.

Sadly, we fear this is only the beginning of a very rough summer.

Everything you need to know about the Orlando terror attack is presented in the report from WFTV-ABC9 Orlando, with famed anchor Bob Opshal reporting.



President Obama, elected (sadly) to be OUR President, cannot bring himself to reach out to Florida Gov. Rick Scott as of this AM regarding the worst single shooting incident, an act of terrorism committed no just against the LGBT community, Latinos or Floridians, but against The United States of America. George W. Bush has done so, but not the petulant Obama. He is nothing short of a complete disgrace, and we will be most fortunate not to have many more Americans fall victim to terrorism before he exits office.


In a rather stunning speech today, a petulant Obama hunkered down in defense of Islam essentially blaming America for the grotesque loss of life in Orlando. Obama took a shot at Trump, as did Hillary in a follow up speech. But it is Trump who has accurately assessed the real issue, radical Islamic terrorists, and make no mistake, it is the left, led by these two anti-American elites, and their policies, that are in large measure to blame for this terrorism. As Katie Hopkins illustrated in a brilliant piece today, "Perhaps it is those who preach tolerance that we should be most afraid of. Democrats and liberals preach tolerance. But in doing so they have chosen to ignore the dark truths of a religion which is the most intolerant of all."

While Obama searches for a motive, The Daily Caller brings us stunning information about Orlando killer Omar Matteen. “It is no coincidence that this happened in Orlando,” a law enforcement source told Fox News Sunday." "Omar Mateen, the perpetrator of the terror attack in Orlando, was enrolled in an online Islamic fundamental course ran by a radical Muslim released from prison last year" named Marcus Dwayne Robertson, who runs a school in Orlando known as the Timbuktu Seminary. Robertson is reported to be the former bodyguard of Omar Abdel Rahman, otherwise known as the Blind Sheik, the mastermind of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

The motive of the terrorist act in Orlando is known to everybody and anybody, except our anti-American president whose dereliction of duty is getting folks killed, which just might be considered treason.

The events of a tragic weekend in The City Beautiful will leave our town scared forever.

On Friday night, emerging star Christina Grimmie was gunned down by a crazed individual signing autographs after a show at The Plaza Live over in The Milk District. We all were very saddened.

But, the terrorism events of early Sunday morning at The Pulse over in the SODO district floored our entire nation.

We remain at war with radical Islamic terrorists whether our anti-American president is aware of it or not. It is rather obvious Obama will not take any steps to destroy ISIS, so perhaps it will come down to the citizenry.

Or Donald J. Trump.

Smoke Out Charlatan Crist

"It seems many good men lose their soul when they become a high powered politician. Seemingly consumed with power, a sadly large contingency of these individuals relegate any previously subscribed to principles to the recycle bin".

That is how a recent post, titled Sorry Charlie, about Charlie Crist, the former GOP Florida governor, who without a significant pivot point, changed course to become the best friend of Barack Obama and Joe Biden and is now running again for governor of Florida as a Democrat, began.

Crist, a charlatan to be sure, is in a battle with current republican governor Rick Scott, who although a mediocre candidate at best, has actually done a pretty fair job in his first term.

This is not lost on Crist, so he has attached himself to a vehicle to help him slip past Scott, a Florida Constitutional Amendment (2) to allow the medical use of marijuana for individuals with debilitating diseases. Pull on the heart strings, but behind the scenes, there is much more than meets the eye.

With Crist removed from public office by having been defeated for the US Senate in Florida by Marco Rubio, Crist went to work for high powered Orlando based attorney John Morgan, a progressive Democrat who has hosted fundraisers at his Winter Park home for Democrats, inclusive of President Obama.

Morgan, whose law firm slogan is For The People, is the leading statewide advocate for the passage of Amendment 2. Morgan was down in Polk County recently and spoke to a crowd of Amendment 2 supporters, where he addressed the crowd.  Take a listen:

 

Marijuana can indeed help individuals with debilitating diseases, and the avenue for those folks to get the necessary legal drugs to help them should be placed on the fast track.  But, if you take the temperature of the crowd Morgan is addressing, you quickly recognize those folks are not in attendance. These are low information useful idiots, and people I would decline to be associated with.

Those who are in attendance are those who want pot legalized so they can smoke it till their hearts content, seemingly oblivious to the pain and suffering the bill is advertised to be attempting to help.

Reports have Morgan having bought up tracts of land in Florida to have a hand in growing marijuana should the amendment pass.  Although, given his high level advocacy, Morgan should disclose this if true. but otherwise, this is America.  Hope he has connections at the local permitting offices.

Crist is all in with Morgan, who is among the strongest financial backers of the Crist campaign.

Crist tells us Floridians he will wake up every day thinking how he can help the working families of the state.
We don't need or want his help.  We want government out of the way, with their interaction with the public limited.  Crist does not find the citizenry capable of functioning efficiently without him.

Crist once claimed to be a Reagan republican, a champion of limited government.  Now he is a Democrat, where he champions government having a visible and invisible hand in the commerce of the people.

If Crist is in fact a Democrat, and not an opportunist candidate without principle available to the highest bidder, he should look to John F. Kennedy, who asked the citizenry to not seek what the government can do for you, but what you can do for your country.

For me, that is to encourage individual freedom and liberty, something Crist thinks is better dealt out by elected official rather than earned by hard working Americans.

As Thomas Jefferson said, “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”- “The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”

Should we continue to elect politicians without principle, like Charlie Crist, we will bring about what Jefferson feared; a democracy which will cease to exist.

RICK SCOTT for Governor of Florida! Lets Keep Working!

Sorry, Charlie

It seems many good men lose their soul when they become a high powered politician.  Seemingly consumed with power, a sadly large contingency of these individuals relegate any previously subscribed to principles to the recycle bin.

In recent years, I cannot think of anyone who fits this description more than  Charlie Crist, former GOP Governor of Florida.  Crist, a former QB at Wake Forest and a fellow alumni of Florida State University, has made the journey from a product of the Reagan Revolution to a big government socialist standing in opposition to free market principles he once championed.

Crist won election as governor of Florida in 2007 campaigning as a Reagan Republican, which helped him form his political principles.  After serving one term, Crist decided to run as a republican for a Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Mel Martinez.  Crist, facing defeat in the primary to now Sen. Marco Rubio, became an independent and lost in the general election to Rubio, whom I supported.

Riding the wave of Barack Obama, Crist, without advancing a noted pivot point, discarded all of those once beloved principles of Ronald Reagan and became a Democrat.  Crist could often be seen on the campaign trail and at political events with Obama, who is a stated opponent of our founding principles.

One would hope, having been completely discredited on principles and values, Crist would retire to private life and cease in efforts to serve our state politically.  However, after joining one of the states largest defense attorney law firms, John Morgan's Morgan and Morgan, Crist has announced he will challenge sitting Governor Rick Scott in the upcoming gubernatorial race.

It is not hard to recognize that we have a large contingency of, as Rush Limbaugh would descibe, low information voters.  Americans are awash, drowning in, as Aldus Huxley projected, a sea of irrelevance.  Even still, you would think enough voters would see Crist for what he has priven himslef to be; a man without principles.

Therefore, Crist will play to the lowest denominator, advancing issues that are without merit, hoping to not only secure the vote of Obamabots and rock solid Progressive Democrats, but the low information crowd as well.

Evidence of this was vibrantly clear last week when Crist revealed his plan for a "First Day of Fairness" should he be elected.  Action on this day, which would seemingly bypass a heavily weighted GOP legislature, would be done by executive order.  Like his new mentor, Crist would have a pen and a phone.

As quoted in an article by Aaron Deslatte, Tallahassee Bureau Chief or The Orlando Sentinel, On his first day back as governor, Charlie Crist says he wants to raise the minimum wage and stop job discrimination against women and gays.

That rhetoric will no doubt get the attention of the low information crowd, and although demonstrably false, be ignored by those predisposed to vote D regardless of a platform based on falsities.

Florida does not discriminate against women and gays ( Unlike Crist, I would have utilized a different word of description rather than gays ).  It is illegal for public and private sector companies and organizations to do so.  In actual fact, in order to be politically correct, many companies welcome the opportunity to hire these folks. 

For any company or organization I have ever been involved in, it was a goal to hire the person who best represented the key competencies with the appropriate qualifications and skills to match the job description. 

Raising the minimum wage sounds wonderful to those retained on staff, for they will see an increase in pay.  However, the company which employs them will may have to reduce staff to compensate, forcing the employee to potentially increase their workload or hours worked.  Benefits may be reduced as well, given the extra payroll costs the company may incur.

In the marco, raising the minimum wage increases unemployment, as due to increased payroll costs, refrain from adding staff, which is already happening due to several economic influences, from uncertainty to destructive regulatory action such as Dodd-Frank and Obamacare.

We continue to hear that the minimum wage is a living wage; it is not.  An employee should not expect to earn enough to raise a family on minimum wage.  Rather than raise the wage to accommodate incorrect life decisions of these workers, including the lack of education and key competencies which prohibit a worker form securing a better job, the best way to help them is for a growing economy to create additional opportunities for advancement.

Crist knew this at one time, but the principles behind these economic principles, due to the ignorance of the electorate, do not represent the easiest path to elected office.  What works now is claiming to be the representative of the government who is able, ready and willing to help the people, or, steadily increase the entitlements bestowed upon the lower class workers.

As Thomas Jefferson said, “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”- “The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”

Should we continue to elect politicians without principle, like Charlie Crist, we will bring about what Jefferson feared; a democracy which will cease to exist.

Slanted Script

"In Florida, trying to pick out the dumbest piece of legislation is a tough task."


Scott Maxwell
The Orlando Sentinel

This was noted in an editorial piece by Scott Maxwell in his Taking Names column in The Orlando Sentinel titled, "As kids die, Florida continues costly crusade against gun safety." Maxwell is torqued about a law prohibiting doctors, pediatricians and psychiatrists, from inquiring about patient practices regarding gun ownership, usage and firearm safety. 

Maxwell notes that these conversations, similar to those about dangerous chemicals, commonplace and voluntary, make perfect sense and result in saving lives.

I have never had such discussions with my doctors.  Ole Doc never informed me to be careful around gas tanks, to keep a keen eye out for that outboard motor propeller or issued pointers on any of the items I learned about in the Boy Scouts.

Maxwell described the law presented by freshman state Rep. Jason Brodeur, R-Sanford, who Maxwell opined "wanted to imprison doctors who asked such questions and fine them up to $5 million."  Although this was passed in the Legislature, Maxwell noted a federal judge blocked it, citing it as unconstitutional.

Then, as Maxwell notes in his column, at the NRA's urging, Florida Governor Rick Scott appealed the decision, costing taxpayers who pay for the state to defend the bill. Maxwell finds the state arguments "laughable" while I find the forced doctor inquisitions directed under Obamacare a violation of citizen rights of privacy.

I agree with Maxwell, that this law should not exist, but not for the reasons he cites in his column. As the federal judge who struck the law down said, "The law directly targets protected expression by restricting it."

Sadly; however, under Obamacare, physicians have been charged with obtaining, through these types of "conversations", information to relay to the government regarding household gun ownership.  Is this a back door way of obtaining a gun registry?

My trust of the Obama administration is pegged right there at zero, and the nation is beginning to catch on.  Although anyone may inquire, my physician has no right to seek out and report gathered information regarding my personal life as part of a data mining operation on behalf of the federal government.  Maxwell fails to mention that an ongoing effort to, at a minimum, restrict the second amendment is fully engaged by the administration and was likely the catalyst for the chain of events he has discussed.

Nobody, including The State of Florida, is against gun safety; in fact, it is encouraged and continuously taught across the state.  Instances where guns are participatory in the loss of lives, outside of law enforcement and the lawful defense of life or property by our citizens, almost exclusively occurs by those who would not be deemed as responsible gun owners, although accidents unfortunately take place.

I am sure Maxwell is a great guy, a family man and deeply cares for children across the state, but accidents in a myriad of ways unfortunately kill many children in our state, perhaps most notably drownings in swimming pools.  But, even for the most diligent Obamabot, these deaths don't fit the narrative and would be tough to place blame on the GOP in similar fashion to firearm related deaths.  Hence, harm to children is utilized to tug the heartstrings to advocate for a political agenda.

In Florida, trying to pick out the progressive mouthpieces masquerading as sensible representatives of the citizenry is a tough task.

Don't Guess: Go Allen West

Thanks to a redrawn district in south Florida resulting in a heavily Democratic constituency, Congressman Allen West (R:FL), is in a dogfight to hold his seat in Congress. West is an outspoken conservative who often rattles cages in Washington, and thankfully, this former Army Lieutenant Colonel does not suffer progressives kindly. Just my kind of guy!

Patrick Murphy is the Democrat attempting to unseat West, and he has been given full support from the Democratic Leadership, as unseating West has been considered a priority.  The Wikipedia page for Murphy ( I recognize Wikipedia can rival NBC News for lack of integrity ) describes him as a graduate of the University of Miami whose disgust with the Tea Party led him to switch from a Mitt Romney supporter to a Democrat who supported Obamacare, is pro LGBT rights and favors higher taxes.  Not my kind of guy!

 

According to the Murphy campaign, many of his views do not mesh well with the progressives associated with the Democratic leadership, suggesting to me his opinions and principles are flexible and not cast in stone.  For example, Murphy indicates he supports expanding job creation and promoting business growth, something the Obama administration has been stifling through excessive regulation, taxation, Obamacare and economic uncertainty.

 

Murphy has some past personal issues as well.  Certainly, many of us have had our moments, myself included, although most without an arrest record.  It sure looks like Murphy has turned the page and is now a fine upstanding citizen; good for him!

 

Murphy is hitting West with falsities in the campaign, most notably on two issues; job creation and women's rights.  Not withstanding the barriers to job growth implemented by President Obama, under Gov. Rick Scott, Florida is creating jobs, although an unacceptable rate due to the attacks on small business.  In addition, there is no attack on women as put forth by Obama, and the principles West stands for, inclusive of the promotion of family values and the promotion of free market principles, are partners in success for women and their families.

 

West has released a stunning ad detailing the commitment Allen West has to America, in contrast to a emerging you man who continues to find his footing regarding the direction our nation should embark upon.  No such wavering in decision making from West:   

 

Well, there you have it.

 

A proud conservative and American patriot, Allen West is highly representative of the individual we need in Washington, a leader who calls balls and strikes and has little toleration for governmental bureaucrats who seek to transform American values and principles decreasing individual freedom along the way.

 

Among my favorite people in Washington, BAHL offers full support for Congressman Allen West.

Tea Party Alive Fighting Tyranny

Certainly, the journalistic standards of the mainstream media have totally collapsed, rendering these media outlets dead and buried, and any semblance of truth, vacated. An recent example of this can be found in recent articles declaring the Tea party, who utilized a high level of decorum in opposition to government spending to the 2010 mid terms, as dead. ABC News and The Washington Post could be named as leaders in the reporting of this false narrative.

 

As it turns out, on a gorgeous sun splashed afternoon in Orlando on April 15, a Tea Party event took place with some 3000 patriots taking time out of valuable weekend time to stand in protest of excessive spending and the attack on the Constitution by the Obama regime. Bud Hedinger, of 540 WFLA, emceed the event which had a slew of strong speakers. Florida Governor Rick Scott was the headline, and he gave us a quarter hour of his implementation of sound economic theory he placed into practice, which has resulted in a decreasing unemployment rate and job creation.

KCarl Smith of the Frederick Douglass Republicans gave a passionate speech regarding the state of race politics, where the African American community just blindly vote Democrat. Smith purports that Frederick Douglass is the key to turning this mindset, and perhaps our countries future, around. I found tremendous merit in his message, which will expanded upon further in a later blog post.

Unfortunately, as the final speaker of the event, some missed a golden opportunity to hear commentary by Trevor Loudon, author of the book Barack Obama and the Enemies Within, and purveyor of The New Zeal blog. Loudon, a New Zealander, is a walking encyclopedia on the Obama regime and their nefarious associations, including strong ties to the Communist Party. Loudons Key-Wiki is an awesome tool in assembling the players and their associations, which are lengthy. Many Americans can't seem to grasp, and maybe they just can't face how easily they were duped, the type of individual elected to our highest office.

It was a great afternoon of patriotism and education for one and all, as the time to sit on the sidelines has long past as never in our lifetime have we faced such tyranny. While the media may be dead, the Tea Party is very much alive and kicking.
