Ex-Teacher Pleads Guilty To Sex Charge - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

This case is a clear example of how the legal system extracts grossly unfair standards from within our laws,... laws that are suppose to be enforced equally. Had this case involved  reversed sex roles with a male perpetrator committing the same sex crimes against a young girl, he would  have received no less than13 years in prison, not 13 months! Clearly, it goes without saying, double standards exist within Duval County Courtrooms. Furthermore, based on case facts and the tender nature of the offences, there must have been a true conspiracy of cooperation from within the State Attorney's Office as well. This women must be very well connected within the legal community to have benefited from such an obvious judicial partnership.Her sentence amounts to little more than the proverbial "slap on the wrist." As usual with many news stories such as this, NEWS4JAX with it's crumbling journalist standards, have omitted critical facts from the story line. One can only imagine why NEWS4JAX didn't bother to mention the presiding judge by name who sanctioned this dubious piece of legal work...

House Still Fighting Redistricting Amendment - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

House Still Fighting Redistricting Amendment - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
This story is a perfect example of why people don't vote anymore. During the last major election, the voters of Florida went to the poles and voted on a Constitutional Amendment that barred lawmakers from using "redistricting"  to achieve reelection or other political agendas. At that time, the message was abundantly clear to  Florida Legislators that voters had, had enough. They were tired of elected officials constantly stacking the deck in their favor. Under Florida law, this constitutional amendment met all the procedural  and legislative requirements to be placed on the state election ballot. It was then overwhelmingly approved by voters.  In addition to the election results, a Federal Judge in Miami upheld the new amendment on September 9th. of this year. However, a number of threatened politicians like Corrine Brown and Mario Diaz-Balart continue in their ongoing campaigns to negate the will of Florida voters. Both these self-serving politicians have nothing to lose and everything to gain if they are successful in suppressing the will of the people. Both have enjoyed the benefits of reelection because of the redistricting which occurred after the 2,000 U.S. Census. Also both will most likely be defeated in their next reelection bid if and when the amendment goes forth. If their attempts are ultimately successful then, rigged reelections in Florida will continue to carry on. More importantly though, it will tell the people of the Sunshine State that their written Constitution isn't worth the paper it is printed on and, the right to vote in Florida is little more than public pacification...

City Eliminates 30 Jobs; 23 Others Let Go - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

City Eliminates 30 Jobs; 23 Others Let Go - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
How cleaver,... Mayor Brown uses the city budget cuts to pave the way for hiring his new cronies and paypals. That's a good magic trick there Alvin. Perhaps you should use some of your wizardry to make the worthless "Human Rights Commission" disappear as well. That could really save the taxpayers some big bucks.Of all the impotent, useless city agencies within Jacksonville government, JHRC sticks out like a pimple on a pigs ass.There has never been a more arrogant, more inept group of people than those working for this agency. If ever there was a true waste of taxpayer dollars it is right there in plain view.This office is nothing more than a political pay-off machine for the mayor and his political pals...

Former Gov. Claude Kirk Dies At 85 - Politics News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

Former Gov. Claude Kirk Dies At 85 - Politics News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
This story is exactly how history becomes clouded and distorted. Biased news agencies like N4J and independent writers turning  monsters into messiahs. With postmortem fantasies, they depict the contemptuous lives of dead public figures as epic novels. They try to create greatness when and where it never existed.  Kirk may have been affectionately know by his cronies as "Kissing Claude" (not sure what he was kissing) however, the public knew him professionally as "Kirk the Jerk." This is a man that once sought out interviews with Florida death-row inmates only to assure them he would sign their death warrants if elected governor. He also, like George Wallace, was adamantly and personally opposed to court ordered School Busing during the great Civil Rights Era. Also, after viewing the now famous "Kent State"massacre photo of  Mary Vecchio kneeling over a dead student's body, Kirk publicly called her "a dissident Communist." How much charm can one man have? Well, he's gone now and so is most of the damage he did to Florida. Accordingly since he's not been missed in the last 30 years, I doubt he ever will be...

Bristol Palin Heckler Apologizes for Slamming Her Mom "in the Heat of the Moment" | Comcast.net:
WHAT A SCAM  This entire event was staged for the benefit of Bristol Palin and her worthless reality show. Like her mother, she has nothing useful to offer the world except her pointless observations and opinionated ramblings. However, it must be acknowledged that she is a perfect "Reality" starlet. She can't sing, dance, act,or speak intelligently about anything that matters. She's perfect for the job despite the fact she offers less talent than a trained seal. GO BRISTOL !

Harding Resigns As Mayor's Spokesman - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

Harding Resigns As Mayor's Spokesman - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:

'via Blog this'As with many NEWS4JAX written post, you walk away from this story with more questions than answers. For starters, the article makes no mention of a Breathalyzer Test or it's results. In Florida when someone fails a Field Sobriety Test, the next requirement to keep a driver's license, is the Breathalyzer. Yet, no mention of that either anywhere in this shallow article. However, the most compelling and amazing  issue with this glossed-over work is, how quickly Harding's case was downgraded to "Reckless Driving." Normally that takes month's of legal wrangling, lots of cash and a Lincoln Lawyer to achieve. Harding managed to accomplish it in under ten working days.That has to be some kind of legal record. Also NEWS4JAX posting a link to Harding's Resignation is pure smoke and mirrors on his behalf. Had this been a real piece of  journalism, you would have found a link to his written Police Affidavit, after all, it's public record. Assuming it wasn't rewritten for his benefit, it will contain all the alleged facts surrounding his "soft" arrest. If this article says one thing and one thing only, it's that people connected to government or law enforcement are always provided  special treatment when they fall from grace...

Downtown Skyline Gets New Look - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
Actually,...this article should read  Downtown Skyline Gets New Crook  To anyone ever caught-up in business dealing with this predatory financial institution, you know their appearance on the River City skyline is no cause for celebration or fanfare. These people are trying to use their historic name recognition as a means to lour unsuspecting  consumers into their web of deceit and subterfuge.When the term, "the devil is in the details"was first coined, it was Wells Fargo, I can assure you, that earned first honors. I have never, never heard anything positive ever said about this dubious institution. So, why NEWS4JAX is so proud of this event is beyond rational reason or good journalistic taste. Once again, N4J caught doing the wrong thing for the wrong reasons... You guys crack me up!

Lt. Gov. Denounces Attack On Christians - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
Carroll said that, "in today's society we will trust in the car salesman and the government more than we trust in the Lord." What she forgot to mention is that we trust in the car salesman more than we trust in a politician. This of course is pure political posturing on her part attempting to tap into early, the religious conservative voters of Florida. This voting block has traditionally been a bread and butter staple of the Republican election machine. However, like a junkyard dog the ACLU is watching closely this election season to make sure the party of "No" doesn't cross the line separating Church and State. Right now the Republicans are putting on these dog and pony shows all  around the state trying to get a head start on the primary season where they hope to mount an all out attack on President Obama. Their big plan starts with solidifying the religious right as a voter base and then moving on to attack the Presidents record handling the economy,.. an economy the Republicans created during the Bush years. The big flaw in their plan is that many people still remember the political truth about eight years of being "Bushwacked"...

UNF To Require Freshmen To Live In Dorms - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

UNF To Require Freshmen To Live In Dorms - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
This is pure greed and exploitation  conceived by UNF's "ambulance chasing" president John Delaney. This is what happens when an institution of higher education chooses a lawyer for it's president instead of a leader with educational credentials and agendas. Delaney is dramatically driving up the cost of education and preventing many otherwise qualified students from attending UNF. The sad part about  all this highway robbery is that when many students graduate there is nothing waiting for them except mounting student debt. Like UNF, many colleges today have been restructured into "cash cows" rather than institutions of learning. They over promote, over advertise and over promise the great American dream if you but only attend their school. They lour as many students as possible into their trap knowing most of them can qualify for Federal Aid dollars. While many institutions profess  the loftier cause of educating in the end for many however, it's all about the money...

High Court: State Must Pay For Public Defenders - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

High Court: State Must Pay For Public Defenders - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
'via Blog this'  In 1963, the U.S. Supreme Court made it's landmark ruling in the Gideon v.Wainwright case which required all states to provide legal council for indigent  individuals charged with felony crimes.Then again in 1968 it expanded it's ruling to include misdemeanors as well. Since that time the State of Florida has tried many things to get around or over that legal responsibility. This latest ruling represents just one of those attempts. Perhaps now they'll accept all the collective court rulings to that cause and end. Sadly, if the Florida government had it's way, they would assemble Military Tribunals and suspend Habeas Corpus so the accused would have no rights at all. Hence, the Public Offender's Office was created in that spirit as the next best thing...

Bachmann: Campaign 'Alive And Well' - Politics News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
If she does nothing else, Michele Bachmann brings humor and mild drama to the early campaign trail. After Iowa, I have no idea what the Republicans will do for in-house entertainment. Perhaps Newt Gingrich can do a juggling act or write another hilarious "Contract With America." Michele's big problem is she has nothing intelligent to say once she stops the Obama bashing. According to her own aides, there's a 20% chance she'll fumble her talking points or misquote critical facts in a speach. Also she has been caught in several misleading statements concerning her personal affairs. I was just wondering if she can see Russia from Minnesota too?...

Senate Panel: Do We Need Caylee's Law? - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
Passing laws to placate the masses is not only pointless,...it's dangerous as well. The problem with this notable case is not a lack of legislation but a lack of prosecution. The State Attorney tried to prove to the jury that the world is indeed flat. They simply went to far to try and prove a case that wasn't supported by hard evidence. Since we are a nation of laws and not of passions, Casey Anthony got away with murder. Had they have settled on a lessor charge, like manslaughter, this worthless excuse for a mother would be behind bars right now writing a book no one would ever read.We all want justice for little Caylee however, passing a vague, single purpose law that will be forgotten in a year is not the answer.

Obama to propose $1.5 trillion in new tax revenue | General Headlines | Comcast.net:
The time has come in American history to reshuffle the deck. For far to long the rich and powerful have held all the good cards to their chest and shared nothing with the rest of America. Now that all the cash cows have been slaughtered and the coffers emptied,  Boehner and his buddies want to steal what little is left from the aging, the sick and the poor. For decades Politicians have allowed the financial hemorrhaging of the American economy to go unchecked and unabated. They've approved and financially rewarded corporations that send millions of jobs off-shore every year. They have permitted and promoted foreign interest in the purchasing of countless American corporations. Last but not least, many politicians have become grotesquely rich off of Foreign Trade Agreements that undermine American manufacturing might. Expecting our national economy to recover from all that is like expecting an 80 year old man to win an iron man event. The time has come for Congress to make the rich give something back to the American economy by starting to pay their FAIR share of the American tax burden.The Republicans have protected their wealthy friends for far to long. The very idea of cutting a sick old woman's medical needs to help pay for a rich man's world-class vacation is infuriating. Those who have the most should give the most. It's really just that simple...

Editorial Opinion By David Sutton
 
 
 
They say, "the first casualty of war is truth."That simple one-liner couldn’t contain any more ironic overture than it does right now in America and right now here in Jacksonville as well. As political advisers and strategist blow the dust off their electoral arsenals, early battle lines are now clearly being drawn. For the next fourteen months America must endure, like Ft. McHenry, the constant shelling and bombardment of political ads, misinformation and outright artifice. This non-stop political shelling will be more intense and heavier than ever before simply because the presidential stakes are so much higher than ever before. Unfortunately, as in all wars, there comes the inevitability of victims and spoils. To the victims goes the shallow, almost pointless right to vote however, "to the victors goes the right of "spoils." This upcoming election like so many in the past, the true victor will be the media and it’s endless quest of harvesting political advertising dollars. To that end, News4Jax now stands as the local blue ribbon winner for it’s recent suppression of blogging opinions at News4Jax.com. N4J has made a clear choice to ignore the founding principals of journalism and free press to pursue the all mighty dollar. Under the guise of user convenience, N4J recently switched their blogger format from Disqus to Facebook. By doing so, they are now able to strategically repel any blogger or opinions that might potentially conflict their future political and revenue agendas. Today, their web-site is little more than a garden of cultivated censorship and mediocrity. Accordingly,as the 2012 election draws closer, N4J doesn’t want to risk losing one single dollar as a result of their reader opinions. They have come full circle now from a news agency to a common ad agency...

Social Security Marks The Battle Lines For CNN/Tea Party Debate - Politics News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
It comes as no real surprise that the GOP would stage it's carnival-like side show at the Florida State Fairgrounds. After all, with so many political clowns in one place, it just makes sense.Once again the Republican Party takes center stage with endless protection of the rich and it's constant persecution of America's poor. God help the working people of America if the money grubbing Republicans get back into the White House. They will slaughter Social Security and Medicare in the name of greater fiscal responsibility. They refuse to accept the historical fact that it was Republican Party policies and control that put our nation's economy in the toilet in the first place. When Bill Clinton left office, he handed over a surplus budget to Republican leadership.In the eight years that followed, the "Party of No" drove our economy into the ground. Now the Republican contenders want you to forget all that so you can put them back into power to finish ridding America of it's middle class...

Serena Williams Fined For Final Outburst - Sports News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:

Her latest outburst is just another peek at what lies just beneath the surface of many black sports icons,...caged anger. Anger that threatens to boil over anytime things don't go their way.You would have thought that Williams 2009 explosive actions and the resulting punishment at the U.S. Open would have taught her something about manners and sportsmanship. In stead, it would appear she has been receiving anger management advice from Tyra Banks. Conversely the USTA should stop cleaning up her public discharges as they did when copyright suppressing all known footage of her now famous 2009 tirade. Apparently as long as she doesn't show up with a blonde girlfriend and more tatoos the USTA is prepared to tolerate most anything she does short of bloodshed...
