More than 150 military families say a Jacksonville-based moving company made their move a disaster, complaining of delays and ruined belongings. Action News Jax first exposed complaints on Thursday about military families spending weeks stranded without their belongings after the military assigned Suddath Relocation Systems to be their mover. Since then, dozens of military families have personally shared their stories with Action News Jax. A group of about 150 people have joined a Facebook group within the past month to vent their frustrations about Suddath military moves.

This past Easter Sunday, some acquaintances invited my husband and I to join them for lunch and proselytized us as an added bonus activity. They run a house church (where they meet in a home versus traditional church) and through getting to know Matt and I set their sights on recruiting us. We had little in common with this family but a few odd circumstances brought us together for a time. We were unaware that this was the agenda for the day until we went to leave. In an obvious, sudden turn of conversation, discussing spiritual topics became an urgent...

PMB is safer and more private because it doesn’t use the usual technology to send emails and instant messages, or to transfer files. Traditional email systems focus on sending mails through a series of relays until each piece is put back together for the recipient. Here’s how that system works. Why PMB Keeps Your Information Private Our patented, cutting-edge technology doesn’t use relay servers to deliver your communications. We establish a private, electronic stream between you and the database and your recipient and the database. This approach not only gives the messages you send, electronically, an unprecedented level of security...

On Wednesday congressional hearings on Benghazi will be revived, with much ado about whistle blowers, and dissenting testimony, but to what end? The story concocted by The Administration and The State Department is a swiss cheese-like artifice that would never hold up in an era of true journalism. However, though the ruse did not completely cover up the mistakes of Benghazi, the left hopes it will hold together long enough to protect Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Expect the left to circle the wagons around the two top players. At this point they will be willing to toss any underling...

MSR is running the newest poll on election 2012, if it was today who would you vote for? https://www.facebook.com/questions/10150689267898802/

President Obama’s well publicized comments from Monday, discussing or even lecturing, the US Supreme Court on judicial activism seems to bode well for the State of Arizona. Obama infers that the court has no standing and no precedence in striking down a law, either in whole or in part, created by a democratically elected legislative body. No matter that the Court has taken this same action over 150 times. Precedent is obviously something that needs to be defined for The President in this case. Obama’s comments, “Ultimately I am confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be...

President Obama in full campaign mode today called out “Flat Earth” Republicans for not having vision. He referenced an advisor to Henry Ford who said, the automobile is a fad and the horse is here to stay. Again, Obama uses campaign rhetoric to show is incompetence in all matters economic. The example Obama uses to point out the folly of the GOP is such a glaring example of everything wrong with the current administration’s view of that which drives a successful economic engine. Take the example of the car and horse; the late 19th century saw cities plagued by a...

If you had to vote today, who would you vote for? Most people I asked immediately said Herman Cain so I placed a poll at our American Politics FB page with the following options: Barack Obama Herman Cain Mitt Romney Michelle Bachmann Ron Paul Newt Gingrich John Huntsman Rick Perry

In light of growing accusations, comparisons to Clarence Thomas and the subsequent disdain that will inevitably follow from his conservative base, is Herman Cain’s bid for President effectively over? Do you think that the accusations leveled against him have any merit?

http://www.mrctv.org/video/104680 And so it begins. When a candidate has a record of success to run on, what is left in the arsenal of a liberal? NBC is the first mainstream media outlet to falsify a racism claim against new presidential candidate Rick Perry of Texas. With the election 15 months away MSNBC’s Ed Schultz dedicated an entire segment to self satisfying and nonsensical political flatulence. The lesson for GOP hopeful, don’t use the word black in any context. Just imagine if Perry had claimed to give his opponent a black eye.

By every measure Obama should be a single term president. However, history does not bode well for his defeat. The Economy could sink him, after all it seems he has tried his best to sink the Economy, but take a look at the past trends. Clinton and Bush both seemed to be in major trouble in going into the race for a second term. However, the opposing parties nominated Dole and Kerry respectively. Much of the success of our past two Presidents in their reelection efforts was due not to their policies or their popularity but rather to the short...

The 2012 election debates and discussions about candidates and platforms are heating up. MSR has listed a few candidates Rand/Ron Paul The Donald Newt Gingrich to start of the discussion in the new forum section. Personally I don't think that any of the three above represent a legitimate candidacy for The Presidency.

Just prior to its passage, a number of Republicans pointed out the “bat math” being used in the touting of health care. This was around the same time that Speaker Pelosi made her now infamous comment, “We need to pass [Obamacare] so you can see what is in it.” At the time, town halls were a ruckus as Tea Party members probed the representatives to understand how a proposed $1.5 trillion bill could possibly be pitched as a way to lower the deficit. That’s right: one of the final pitches made to sell Obamacare was the use of very fuzzy...

President Obama and Mexican President Calderon gave a joint statement following Calderon's visit to Washington. Among a host of topics were discussions about the border, cartel violence, and gun smuggling. Asked a sightly off topic question, Obama today made what may be his first direct comments on the 2nd Amendment since taking office. Responding to a Mexican reporter's inquiry as to why he does not veto the 2nd amendment, President Obama pointed out a few things. First he mentioned that the 2nd Amendment is part of the Constitution and that he is bound by the Constitution. That statement alone carries...

President Obama jumped back into the Wisconsin union debate, taking the side of the vitriolic protesters and their union bosses. And why not? The President is in control of the bully pulpit for the time being; of course he will use it to support those who elected him. With the 2012 election cycle looming, Obama is looking to the unions to once again pony up half a billion dollars from forced union dues for his reelection. The video below is Obama admonishing state Governors for vilifying public workers. As has happened so many times in the past, there is little...

There is an underlying message that continues to spew from the mainstream media that the union protests in Wisconsin are a peaceful grassroots effort to support downtrodden public employees.  This is not necessarily the case when you now have an element in the crowd that are more anarchists and agitators.  Any doubts take a look at the video below.  It is longer than those that we usually post but it does a good job of illustrating what the protesters are about.  Imagine the media explosion that would happen if this were a Tea Party instead of a group of communists...

Barack Obama released his budget last week, a budget which does nothing to control the US debt crisis.  As the Republicans in Congress try and hold out for some significant tax cuts, the Democratss in the Senate are threatening to stall the process.  We need a budget and we need a budget that addresses unfunded entitlements and wasteful spending.  Today the nonpartisan GAO released figures showing $100-200 billion in duplicated services in the US Government. Without a very conservative budget and budget process, we will as a nation descend into bankruptcy.  Below are some  graphic representations of how bad our...

To explain his economic policy, President Obama often uses the analogy of driving a car on a highway.  He is fond of saying the Republicans ran the car of the economy into a ditch and now they want the keys back. The Democrats have tried to hang the collapse of the U.S. economy in 2008 around the necks of Republicans, especially President Bush.  Obama’s 2008 campaign was victorious because of this tactic and his ability to persuade the public to take out their anger on Bush, even though he couldn’t be reelected. Early in his second term, Bush warned...

To hear the mainstream media discuss pro-union Moveon.org rallies this weekend, and the counter protests by the Tea Party, you would think that the evil Tea Party was out to violently destroy the poor downtrodden American worker. The narrative adopted by the media discounts the fact that Tea Partiers are, by and large, hardworking employed Americans who are just fed up with the fiscal insanity, including the sanctification of public employees. The media ignores the point that we are actually having a debate about, and two state governments have gone into hiding over, an argument as to whether or not...

Here is a story that may not make the headlines, as it is so outside of the Mainstream Media’s misrepresentation of the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party held a straw poll vote for the 2012 presidential election this weekend. The winner, with 22% of the 1600 votes cast, was Herman Cain. Though he has not officially declared as a candidate, the strong showing with the Tea Party will help to boost Cain’s already fast-rising star among the fiscally conservative voters of the Tea Party. Minnesota Govenor Tim Pawlenty came in second with 16% of the vote. At some point,...
