Gov. Rick Scott’s private meeting with Jeb Bush irks parent activists, Democrats
The guest list: former Gov. Jeb Bush, state Sen. John Thrasher and state Board of Education Chairman Gary Chartrand.

The guest list: former Gov. Jeb Bush, state Sen. John Thrasher and state Board of Education Chairman Gary Chartrand.
The dinnertime meeting was cloaked in extraordinary secrecy. Scott’s schedule did not list a location other than “Miami, FL,” and his chief spokeswoman, Melissa Sellers, couldn’t provide any other details.
That infuriated parent activists, who said Scott shouldn’t have called three dozen education leaders to Clearwater if he intended to make decisions with a small group of advisors out of the public eye.

DOES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OWN YOUR PROPERTY? #tcot
DOES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OWN YOUR PROPERTY?

Is your property truly your own or may the federal government on virtually any pretext take it away from you?
More than a century ago, Congress began the movement to exercise federal regulatory control over the nation’s waterways. This year the Clean Water Act turns 41. For four decades EPA regulations have caused thousands of property owners to suffer fines, lose the economic value of their property, or declare bankruptcy and lose their property entirely. Farmers and land owners near waterways have come to learn all to[o] well what it means to experience a regulatory takings—to have your property devalued and your title to property transformed from defeasible to indefeasible. An owner in title only, those who suffer the worst following receipt of EPA Compliance Orders must pay taxes on property they can neither use nor sell.
EPA has defined properties across the United States to be “wetlands” or “jurisdictional wetlands” because those properties accumulate water seasonally, are adjacent to navigable waterways, or are used by migrating water fowl or other water dependent species.

MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS AND THE LOSS OF SOVEREIGNTY PART 1 #tcot
MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS AND THE LOSS OF SOVEREIGNTY
PART 1

In 1967, Business International issued a research report stating: " ...the nation-state is becoming obsolete: tomorrow...it will in any meaningful sense be dead---and so will the corporation that remains essentially national."
Until this time, American political parties, even the business-oriented Republican Party, had been concerned about protecting American jobs. In the 1972 Republican Party platform, there was the following provision: "We deplore the practice of locating plants in foreign countries solely to take advantage of low wage rates in order to produce goods primarily for sale in the United States. We will take action to discourage such unfair and disruptive practices that result in the loss of American jobs." However, this plank in the 1976 platform was omitted! What had happened?
In GLOBAL REACH: THE POWER OF THE MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS (1974), authors Richard Barnet and Ronald Muller quote IBM French spokesperson Jacques Maisonrouge as commenting: "In the forties Wendell Willkie spoke about 'One World.' In the seventies we are inexorably pushed toward it." In 1973, David Rockefeller formed the Trilateral Commission. And the next year, Trilateralist Richard Gardner wrote in the Council on Foreign Relations' (CFR's) FOREIGN AFFAIRS (April 1974) that to build the "house of world order...an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more that the old-fashioned frontal assault." Barnet and Muller also quote Trilateralist and CFR member George Ball (former Undersecretary of State and chairman of Lehman Brothers International) as saying the nation-state "is a very old-fashioned idea and badly adapted to our present complex world."

Through the 1980s, a global economy was developing, and there was increasing pressure from multinational corporations and their globalist political allies for initiatives such as NAFTA and GATT. Though Herman Daly (formerly a senior economist with the World Bank) and theologian John B. Cobb, Jr., didn't like the direction NAFTA and GATT were taking, in their 1989 book, FOR THE COMMON GOOD, they wrote: "The World Court needs to be strengthened so that in the future, nations such as the United States cannot ignore its judgments with impunity....If the economy becomes more and more global with economic decisions not controlled by any political body, then World Government in a strong sense will be needed....The transferable birth quota plan (Boulding 1964; Daly 1974; Heer 1975) proposes that scale and distribution of the rights to bear children be determined by the community at large, but that these rights then be traded in the free market.

Statewide Search Underway to Find Missing SC Republican #tcot
Statewide Search Underway to Find Missing SC Republican
"Last reported sightings in Egypt, and Washington DC in the company of a creepy old man" declares the bulletin on a milk carton being circulated throughout South Carolina.
Today, Carolina Conservatives United is formally asking South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley to issue a statewide “Silver Alert” in the hopes that we can find Lindsey Graham.
“Lindsey Graham has not been seen in the state of South Carolina for most of the last two years,” said Bruce Carroll, Chairman of CCU. ”In addition, Graham isn’t holding any town hall meetings during the August recess. Finally, his behavior on television has been disturbing, erratic and devoid of any consistent conservative principles. We are truly concerned that he may be in need of help.”
“It is imperative that we find Lindsey Graham and bring him home. He is suffering from Potomac Fever and has definitely lost his way,” said Breeanne Howe, board member of Carolina Conservatives United.
To assist with this efforts, CCU has produced the attached photo which it encourages everyone to distribute via Facebook, Twitter and other social media outlets.
CCU is also asking all residents to call all of Lindsey Graham’s offices to express their concern that he is missing and to request that he hold a town hall for constituents during the August recess.
I'm guessing Graham's constituents would love a chance to talk to him about the Gang of Eight immigration bill, defunding ObamaCare, and his strange new support for the Muslim Brotherhood.
You can find Senator Graham's contact info at the Carolina Conservatives Website.
