Florida: Education the Defining Issue in the 2014 Governor Race?
On Tuesday, November 4th Floridians will go to the polls to select their governor. Currently there are thirty-two active candidates running. The gubernatorial race is the only statewide race in Florida. So what will make one of these candidates standout from the crowded field? If a recent election is any indicator, the defining issue will be – education – specifically Common Core State Standards (CCSS). People are rising up in Florida and across the country to stop Common Core.As George Will wrote, “Viewed from Washington, opposition to the Common Core State Standards Initiative still seems as small as the biblical cloud that ariseth out of the sea, no larger than a man’s hand. Soon, however, this education policy will fill a significant portion of the political sky.”

President Obama: Request you prepare the USA for Dangerous Cold Climate
The Orlando, FL based Space and Science Research
Corporation (SSRC) delivered a letter to the White House this morning
for President Obama, in which it warned of the dangers expected from the
ongoing climate change to decades of record cold weather.
This predicted historic event is caused by a rare, yet repeating 206-year cycle of the Sun which the SSRC calls a “solar hibernation.” During these hibernations, the Sun dramatically reduces the energy by which it keeps the Earth warm. In past occurrences of these solar hibernations, the Earth was struck by two of the worst cold climate periods ever recorded, each of which witnessed global crop devastation, civil and political strife, and warfare.

The Liberal Media’s Donald Sterling Race-baiting
Never let a racial crisis go to waste is, I suppose, the
credo of the Machiavellian mainstream media. Since the release of the
Don Sterling audio, liberals haven’t missed a chance to play the race
card for all its worth. One of the worst offenders is a New York Daily
News columnist named Harry Siegel, who — in a piece of pablum bearing a
picture of NBA owners portrayed as Klansmen — bemoans the lack of
Diversity™ in league ownership and management. Unfortunately for Siegy,
his points, which start with the Klan hoods, only get worse from there.READ MORE . . .

Below is a worksheet from a 7th grade civics class
currently being taught in Martin County Public Schools. It describes the
Democratic and Republican parties to public school students. The

light and Republicans negatively. There are several factual errors and
omissions in the worksheet, noted by a relative of the student. The
highlighted text was done by the student’s relative.
