Florida Governor Vetoes Speed Limit Increase Law

Governor Scott Vetoes Speed Limit Increase Law

My take--- Of course the Sheriffs and Highway Patrol are only interested in safety. This has NOTHING to do with speeding ticket revenue declining if the bill is passed--right ??

Police Seize Property from Innocent People for Fun and Profit

Policing for Profit ??

So, with the "Civil Forfeiture" law, police can seize the property of a citizen without any conviction or judge or jury. Disgusting that this is happening in the U.S.

My response:

5th Amendment

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

The DOLLAR stores which have sprung up everywhere since the crash of 2008 (since people are so broke that's where they can afford to shop), are also going out of business due to lack of sales.

Police Can Search your Car Whenever they Feel Like It Now

Pennsylvania Supreme Court backs warrantless vehicle searches

So, The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that it was CONSTITUTIONAL to allow police to search vehicle without a warrant whenever they feel like it ??  I guess they skipped the class on the 4th Amendment in law school.

My response:

The 4th Amendment of the United States Constitution states:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

What Right to Assemble ??

Virginia proposal would limit size of gatherings at private homes

My response is:

1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Pig Rescued

Kids aren't the only ones to fall in a well. In China rescuers pulled a pig out of a well.

U.S. Unemployment Stats a Filthy LIE

The problem is that these "jobs" are almost all low wage jobs in the service sector (stocking shelves, restaurant work, cashiers, etc ---all about $8- $9/hr). People cannot live on those wages and the most distressing thing is that corporate profits and executive compensation have never been higher.
I'm all for capitalism, but shipping your manufacturing to China paying those workers slave wages and then paying your employees minimum wage in this country while you rake in millions isn't only wrong---it's EVIL and is the major thing that is wrong with our country. Most of these "free trade" agreements signed over the last 20 years are anything but free trade or fair for the U.S. and they have DESTROYED our economy and led to over 100 MILLION adults in this country being unemployed (fact--check it out). That 6.3 % unemployment number is a complete fabrication. Look it up--our REAL unemployment number is over 20% and has been since 2008---which means this has been a Depression and most people realize this deep down.  Ross Perot was right--NAFTA & GATT, etc have been a DISASTER for our country and that huge sucking sound was all of the good jobs leaving the country. 

US gains 288k jobs most in 2 years rate 6.3 percent
