SunTrust, Regions latest banks to retreat on debit fees | Consumer News - Home

SunTrust, Regions latest banks to retreat on debit fees | Consumer News - Home:
I love the part of this article that says that, the bank listened to it's customers. What arrogant crap! These big banks care less than a dam about customer opinions and concerns. They care about one thing and one thing only and that one thing is money. They backed-off the fees because the feared consumer backlash and an exodus of cash from their greedy asset holdings.Bankers are such pigs!

Did the Kardashians Attempt to Rig 'DWTS' Votes? | XFINITY TV News

Did the Kardashians Attempt to Rig 'DWTS' Votes? | XFINITY TV News:
Well, there could hardly be a more rhetorical question than, " Did the Cartrashians rig DWTS"? First off, everything and anything the Cartrashians do and touch is rigged. These inflatable, talentless bimbos are the epitome of Hollywood gone amuck. If their entire surroundings and settings are not completely rigged fabricated and controlled, they can not perform,...period. If what they do can be considered performing at all. For an entertainment media concern such as  XFINITY, to even ask such a blatantly stupid question, simply confirms their total support for what ever it is that these mindless aberrations say or do. Like most entertainment journalist of today, XFINITY acts more like publicity agency than a news agency.

Judge blocks Fla.'s new welfare drug testing law | US National Headlines | Comcast.net

Judge blocks Fla.'s new welfare drug testing law | US National Headlines | Comcast.net:
This new drug testing law is like an iceberg upon the water. You can only see what's on the surface while the real danger lies just beneath the distorted water line. Our slick-ass governor and his pals in law enforcement sought to collectively trample many areas of our Constitutional rights with this poorly disguised junk law. Had he gotten away with this open assault on our rights and privileges, you would have seen many new such conditional requirements in other areas of  state entitlement such as Unemployment Compensation or Medicaid just to mention a few.Historically, we all know that when the state gets an inch, it will always take an additional mile. Perhaps though, the most amazing part about this unlawful attack  is that Scott with all his arrogance thought he could actually circumvent existing Federal HIPPA Laws by openly allowing medical test results to go to law enforcement. One can only imagine how far  Scott's tyranny would go without a Constitution and Federal Courts to stop him in his tracks. This Judge should be rewarded for her swift noble act and legal courage. By stopping Scott and recognizing him for what he truly is, she has brought honor to the court and spotlighted our governor for what he really is,...a common tyrant! 'via Blog this'

Foreign Buyers Scooping Up U.S. Homes - Money News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

Foreign Buyers Scooping Up U.S. Homes - Mone    This is just one more way our government is allowing our weak economy to become yet even weaker. By allowing foreign buyers to buy-up cheap American housing at a time like this, is undermining our fragile economic growth. When these homes are eventually sold, the proceeds will leave this country and end up in overseas banks.That in turn will reduce basic available capital for reinvestment in America. How stupid can you be? Once again our politicians turn a blind eye to the screwing of America...

Marco Rubio’s compelling family story embellishes facts, documents show - The Washington Post

Marco Rubio’s compelling family story embellishes facts, documents show - The Washington Post:
Well,... Here we go again. The enemies from within America are trying to change the governing rules of our once great nation. Like the pigs in George Orwell's "Animal Farm" politicians from both parties want to modify Presidential and Vice-Presidential eligibility for their own political gains. According to the U.S. Constitution, Article 2 says that no person except a "natural born citizen" shall hold the office of President or Vice-President. Seems simple enough. However, other than Thomas Jefferson, the framers of our Constitution had no idea how corrupt and perverted our political system would one day become. Unfortunately, they did not precisely define the term, "natural born citizen." It's constitutional meaning and definition to this day, have never been legally challenged. Capitalizing on this obscure but arguably oversight, the Democratic Party in 2008 engineered and launched the Obama Presidency. Almost from  day one of his candidacy, Barrack Obama's eligibility to higher office has been openly challenged by those who believe he was not born to citizen status nor on U.S.soil.  With compelling arguments and documents the "Birther"organization was created to undo Obama's illegal presidency and reestablish  Constitutional integrity. At the height of  his campaign, the Birthers provided strong discourse and support for the Republican establishment to challenge and target Obama's qualifications. Brushing these arguments aside, most GOP members did not take the issue with any degree of open seriousness. Foremost among them was none other than Marco Rubio who at the time said," he did not think it was an issue." Now 4 years later, we know exactly why as Rubio  stands quietly in the wings aspiring for higher office. Clearly Rubio is nothing more than a Republican pretty boy who has advanced skills in deception and public speech. His entire family history is one big fraud designed to dupe the American people. He is not, as he portrays,...the son of  patriot exiles banished from their homeland but rather, simply the son of common South Florida immigrants. Immigrants that still pledge allegiance to a foreign country and power. The people of America had better wake up and smell what it's politicians from both parties are shoveling their way this election season. The 2012 election will be the most important election in American history. It will determine not only the next 4 years but possibly decades beyond. This could very well be the final free election in America. If the rule of law is not resurrected and foreign influence banned from the Oval Office, we as a free nation are doomed. Choose well America for the pigs have moved into the barn and the farmer is dead...God save America from her politicians...

The Obamas Won’t Let Their Daughters Watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians | Crushable

The Obamas Won’t Let Their Daughters Watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians | Crushable:
The President and First Lady have good reasons for not allowing their daughters to watch "Throwing-Up with the Cartrashians." Simply put, they want their children to hopefully grow up to be something more than engineered Hollywood trash. Calling what the Cartrashians and others do, "REALITY", is nothing short of a galactic oxymoron. Furthermore, the only thing usefully generated from Reality TV is the historical, media bookmark it's creating that will one day reflect the utter social madness of our times. If one could view Reality TV inverted through a house of mirrors in total darkness, it might just have some meaning...

Ridgeview Principal's DUI Charge Dropped - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

Ridgeview Principal's DUI Charge Dropped - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
Well, this story comes as no great revelation. Right from the beginning this man's arrest and detainment were a law enforcement fantasy supported by police fabrication and zero evidence. As predicted, this citizen took these bogus allegations of DUI and spit them directly in the face of Clay County Law Enforcement. Well done Mr.Westmoreland!  In the interest of higher justice, you should now pursue civil litigation for the damages done to your personal and professional reputations. That in turn would also be performing a monumental public service by helping to protect other innocent citizens from the same illegal police tactics you endured. Arresting people without evidence must have consequences and repercussions.Like a street bully, the police need to be punished for rogue behavior. Otherwise, we become just another tyrant police state run by government thugs. No one,  not even the police should be able to operated above the law...

Proposal On Pipeline Aims To Protect River - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

Proposal On Pipeline Aims To Protect River - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
This article by NEWS4JAX is so convoluted and unintelligible that the average reader will walk away thinking  Neil Armingeon, the St. John's Riverkeeper, is a member of Jacksonville's City Council. Depending on N4J motives, that may have been the writer's intention all along. The few facts that are present in this article are at best gross misrepresentations of the truth. Even more astonishing is the fact that N4J doesn't bother to mention the city council member's name that's sponsoring the proposal. Based on this poorly written article,one could conclude Armingeon himself might be sponsoring this vague council action. The St. John's River battle is one of the most important issues facing Jacksonville citizens today. By purposely or even mistakenly providing uncorrected misinformation about this important issue, N4J is performing nothing short of blatant public disservice. Remember there N4J,...it's truth, justice and the American way.

Electric Fence Remark Was A Joke, Cain Says - Politics News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

Electric Fence Remark Was A Joke, Cain Says - Politics News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
The only joke here is you,  Mr.Cain.  Herman Cain must have the biggest mouth and the biggest foot in politics today.  He constantly says the wrong things at the wrong times to the wrong people. Either he's really politically stupid or he thoroughly  enjoys the taste of his own foot. Not since the early days of Sarah Palin has the GOP experienced such a colorful idiot. Almost daily now he manages to offend and alienate yet another block of voting Americans. By the time he gets to the Iowa caucus, he will have eliminated himself all together as a viable candidate. Apparently, the GOP has no real plan to back Cain as a serious contender for the party nomination. Otherwise, they would shut him up and cut off his interviews by now.The obvious ploy here is to allow Mr. Cain with his big mouth and small brain simply to self-destruct early in the political season...

Scott Promotes Jobs Plan In Jacksonville - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

Scott Promotes Jobs Plan In Jacksonville - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
Well, perhaps NEWS4JAX omitted them or Scott didn't mention them but, either way the governor's so called, "seven initiatives,"clearly did not make it into this article. Curiously enough though,  his unsubstantiated boast of 9,000 new jobs per month somehow did. This no doubt is the handy work of N4J selective reporting at work defending our lackluster governor's performance. Other than his assertion and the coincidental mathematical formula of 9,000 jobs a month for 7 years, Scott offered no documented evidence that his campaign promise of 700,000 new jobs is still alive. Accordingly, this now routine Jacksonville whistle-stop, was all about typical smoke, posturing and political lies. Unlike other major Florida cities, Scott knows he'll receive good press in Jacksonville.Additionally, the one item he mentioned that has absolute credibility is his promise to unnecessarily  reform Florida's Unemployment Compensation Program,... of that you can be assured! Unemployment Benefits as well as Workmen"s Compensation have always been  favorite, soft targets of  Florida's Republican governors. They will bend over backwards every chance they get, for the business and insurance worlds, to further gut any entitlement programs for Florida's working citizens.Like most politicians holding higher office, Scott owes his very soul to big business...

Senate Republicans Unveil Alternative Jobs Bill - Politics News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

Senate Republicans Unveil Alternative Jobs Bill - Politics News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
These are classic Republican doctrines which achieve nothing more than to provide  further benefits and protection for the rich. As we can see, the Republican Rewards Factory has been busy working overtime to provide the wealthy elite of this nation the tools to finally finish off America's middle class. The entire list of items on the proposed legislation reads like a rich man's Christmas list. Not one of the items the party of "NO" is selling will ever help the middle or working class people of America. As always, the Republicans are trying to sell us on the idea that if the rich and powerful of our nation are taken care of, they in turn will take care of the rest of us. Unfortunately, throughout world and U.S. history,such an event  has never occurred...

Employee Told To Remove US Flag Pin - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

Employee Told To Remove US Flag Pin - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
The Casa Monica just lost two stars from their professional rating for this one. For many people, the U.S. Flag is the only surviving symbol of a great nation gone amuck. Between our government, the ACLU and other single-purpose organizations, most of the things this country loved and stood for have long since been stripped away. Pride, righteousness, morality all gone now and replaced by dysfunction government authority, class struggle and reality TV. America has truly lost it's way when a minority group or organization of any cause, can dictate the behavior of the majority. The American flag was paid for by the blood of a million patriots. No organization big or small should have the right to banish old glory from sight.God Bless America!...

K im Kardashian Dons a Burqa in Dubai! | Comcast.net:
"Throwing-up with the Cartrashians"just got harder. To all the idiotic morons that promote and support these inflatable Hollywood tramps, they salute you. Just keep on thinking you want to be just like them as they suck away all the cash you'll give them. These mindless bimbos have generated enough cash from stupid Americans to pay off the National Debt and they only want more. You could put a toilet seat over their heads and some people would stand in line for two days to buy one just like it. It is truly amazing to see just how far some people can go with absolutely zero talent. All you need is an agent, a hollywood lawyer and a deal with the devil. The Cartrashians  can't act, dance sing or speak intelligently yet, some Americans have made them into world class citizens. Prior to so called reality TV, their only connection to fame was their infamous father-lawyer, Robert Kardsahian. He has always been suspected in the disposing of O.J.Simpson's bloody clothes and murder weapon shortly after O.J.murdered his wife and Ron Goldman. Boy,if daddy could only see them now!...

Warren Buffett brings tax fight to supercommittee | General Headlines | Comcast.net

Warren Buffett brings tax fight to supercommittee | General Headlines | Comcast.net:
Warren Buffett is a true American with great vision and fairness of thought. His ideas for intelligent reform are
pounding on the doors of every wealthy American and,...they don't like it!  His ideas and correspondence to the Congressional Deficit Reduction Supercommittee are as bold as they are brilliant. Not since the days of the Roman"Gracchi Revolts" has a rich man such as Buffett championed the cause of the common man. It's time the rich of America got off the backs of the struggling middle class and walked on their own. The Bush era tax breaks are way out of time and way out of step with our present economy. It's time for  wealthy Americans to pay their fair share...

Congress passes 3 free trade agreements | General Headlines | Comcast.net

Congress passes 3 free trade agreements | General Headlines | Comcast.net:
These so called free trade compacts are little more than "international shell games" design to make a hand full of global business men grotesquely wealthy. They in turn pay-off U.S.politicians who sponsor and pass these treasonous arrangements. On the surface these agreements promise to serve the free world with both growth and prosperity. However in reality, they deliver next to nothing to common peoples on either side of the trade contract and subsequently create a U.S. trade deficit. They serve only their masters and they serve them well.  Ultimately and clearly our own leaders are responsible for the loss of millions upon millions of American jobs. Since NAFTA was implemented in 1994 it has continued to eat away steadily at our national economy like a deadly cancer. Now, because of those job losses, we have a surplus labor force that continues to drag down the wages of what few jobs still remain in this country. Yet, our leaders could care less. Republicans, Democrats,...they're all the same when it comes to the selling of America.That's why they enter politics,...so they can get a piece of America's ass too! When you add up all the damage these convoluted agreements have caused, along with off-shore jobs losses and the selling-off of so many American Companies, you can clearly see why the American economy is in the toilet. Now, like criminals in a cell block planning a blanket party, both sides of the aisle are stroking each other's feathers over the passage of yet three more poison trade agreements...Plain and simple, Free Trade Agreements are nothing short of Treason!

Christie Endorses Romney - Politics News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
A good guess is that Mitt Romney had to chase down "Krispy Kreme"Christie to get this disingenuous, dubious endorsement. Furthermore, you can be assured it comes with a big ticket payback for Ben & Jerry's favorite flavored politician. Christie knew he couldn't carry a national election because of his checkered political past which is scattered like chicken droppings all over the Garden State. While New Jersey accepts and expects a certain level of corruption from it's politicians,Christie knows he is not qualified  presidential material. Had he ran on his own without complete party support, Democrats would have started digging up skeletons all along the Jersey Shore and laid them at the fat man's doorsteps.Christie's protracted discourse on religion was and is  nothing more than smoke and mirrors to generate  reverse sympathy for Romney and his dismal pole numbers...

Some Dems Praise, Republicans Slam 'Occupy Wall Street' - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

Some Dems Praise, Republicans Slam 'Occupy Wall Street' - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville
Republicans are always the first to condescend to what they fear or what they fail to understand. However in this case the party of "No" understands all to well what "Occupy Wall Street" means in terms of their political objectives and their party's future as well. Quite frankly, it's got them as nervous as a whore in church. For they know all to well that a movement such as this can easily scuttle their big plans to retake the White House and Congress come next fall.What scares them the most is that these protests,which grow daily, are aimed squarely at their election resources and not necessarily the Obama Administration, as they would hope for. Try as they may, the Republicans can never erase the facts that it was eight years of Bush rule that laid the ground work and structure for today's economic woes.They would love nothing more than to lay all of America's problems at Obama's doorstep.What the Republicans don't see or understand is that the protesters don't care why or who started the problems. They don't see one side of the aisle from the other, at least not yet. They simply want the financial problems created by lofty greed corrected.They want Wall Street and Big Business to do the right things by paying back the American people for saving their worthless, corrupt existence.They want their jobs and their homes back. Most of all, they want truth, justice and the American way.

Unemployed seek protection against job bias | General Headlines | Comcast.net:
This story is as sad as it is infuriating. The rich and the powerful corporations of this country created the very roots of the nation's economic upheavals.They and they alone brought America to her knees with their endless quest for profits and wealth. They virtually brought down a nation and it's people where not since the great depression has so much unemployment and personal struggle existed. Now, some of those same responsible groups, with their renewed wealth, want to further punish the unemployed masses that they created. They want to permanently exile the working backbone of America's experienced for a cheaper,younger labor force.  The president's jobs program would end that and punish those who further this needless and illegal discrimination. This bill is needed and it's needed now to protect America from the corporate snake the GOP has released upon our great nation. God bless the working people of America...

Woman Finds Girl, Says Cops Never Came - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

Woman Finds Girl, Says Cops Never Came - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
Unfortunately, the citizens  of Duval County had best get use to "Rutherfords Revenge". This is the Sheriff's way of poking the taxpayers in the eye with his "I told you so" stick. Like a fat kid with the only football on the block, he's telling everyone that if he can't be the captain and get his way, he's taking the football and going home.Ultimate revenge for the city council not passing his overstuffed cop budget. Well, this time his ass was saved by a good citizen. However, this story could have had a much sadder and different ending. This women saved Rutherford's butt, plain and simple, and all the department's chatter about  triage or categorical assignment are just smoke and mirrors.This child almost fell into the dark cracks of police ineptness.No one at the Sheriff's Office knew for sure who this women really was until later on as the situation unfolded. For all they knew, it could have been Casey Anthony. If this child had belonged to a cop, police reaction and the news headlines would have been much different in deed. Unfortunately, this then is the future of Duval law enforcement wherein much police efforts will be refocused on generating revenue dollars for the department. If and when they get time,...they may get around to you and your emergency. Good Luck!

Palin Will Not Seek GOP Nomination For President - Politics News Story - WJXT Jacksonville

Palin Will Not Seek GOP Nomination For President - Politics News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
Well, for most political observers, professional or otherwise, this news comes as no real surprise. With all the baggage Palin has picked-up since the 2008 election, it's was pretty much a foregone conclusion she wouldn't and couldn't run. Even without all her social drama and negative media hype, she had little or no change of capturing the GOP nomination let alone winning a national election. Sarah Palin is simply not presidential material. She's not even gubernatorial material for that matter. However, she is by no means out of national politics, not by a long shot, and like the "Terminator," she'll be back. Even though she's had her "Fifteen" minutes Palin, has big plans to cash in on her inexplicable popularity. She will hold out any support or endorsements until late in the primary. Then, just before the convention, she will come out of the wings again swinging for whichtever Republican candidate gives her the best cabinet or appointment promise. Sadly though, with her professional qualifications an assistant ambassador in Finland is the best she can hope for...

More Banks Charging Debit Card Fees - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
It's been said that,... "A Banker will give you an umbrella on a sunny day and then take it back when it starts to rain." That expression couldn't have any more worldly significance than right now and, right here in America. After creating the most devastating economic crisis since the Depression, the American banking industry was granted the largest financial bail-out program  in U.S. history. There can be no doubt that most of America's largest banks would no longer exist had it not been for the taxpayer supported Economic Bail-Out. How humbling indeed it was to watch night after night on world news, as bankers with "hat in hand" were begging  Congress to save their greedy asses with taxpayer dollars.Now, four years later all of that is a distant memory for them as they conceive and implement new fee plans and acts of  higher greed.What this country did for banks and bankers means next to nothing to  them. Like a wild animal hit crossing the road. You can nurse it back to life, show it all the care in the world, still, one day it'll  recover and turn against you...

Report: JSO Cutting 71 Officers - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
According to the all knowing Channel 4 News, "the cuts represent about 4% of the 1,651 Jacksonville officers on the force before layoffs began." Well, in balance against the backdrop of Florida's near 11% unemployment, that's really not all that bad. Notwithstanding their given heir of entitlement, the police had to know this day was coming and, the Sheriff had to know it could have been avoided. Had Rutherford represented other options more tactfully to the overall force, many if not all these jobs could have been saved. Apparently giving up the free ride program, a slight cut in pay and increasing retirement contributions was to much to ask of his faithful. Like Tony Montana said,..."look at you now"!

Saints Start Fast, Handle Jaguars 23-10 - Sports News Story - WJXT Jacksonville:
Well as usual, the Jacksonville Jaguars are off to their standard unimpressive start. At 1-3 most enlightened fans know exactly where this season is headed and exactly where Jack Del Rio is headed . Rumor has it, his house and boat are already up for sale. So, perhaps it is time for Jack to hit the showers and quietly pack his bag. Given his dismal record and stats while here in Jacksonville, one has to now contemplate that perhaps many of the roster changes Jack made were simply professional cover for his own coaching inadequacies. Small wonder it is then that some  players released in the past by Jacksonville went on to SuperBowl success. Perhaps Jack's great legacy will be that he firmly cemented the Jags future here in the River City. After all who want's to buy a losing football team in a broken economy...

Well, you don't have to be a crime scene detective to see where this case is headed.

By the time this case is through, the Sheriff's Office will have the facts so distorted, the record will boldly suggest it was justified self defence.In the end, this man who obiously can't deal with a simple domestic issue probably won't receive much jail time,... if any at all. Professionaly speaking, it makes one stop and ask, how this ex-cop functioned in law enforcement for twenty years? Now you know...
