Orlando Florida holds the largest single geographic population of Puerto Rican ex-pats.

(Via Business Insider) Puerto Rico will miss a payment on debt due Aug. 1, the governor’s chief of staff said on Friday, an event that will be considered a default by investors as the commonwealth lurches towards what could be one of the largest U.S. municipal debt restructurings in history.

The missed payment will mark the first default by the commonwealth and shows the depth of the island’s economic and cashflow problems. Puerto Rico Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla shocked investors in June when he said the island’s debt, totaling $72 billion, was unpayable and required restructuring.

According to a 2014 bond offering statement, Puerto Rico has never defaulted on the payment of principal or interest of debt. (more…)

Those were the words from Dr. Benjamin Franklin as he exited the Constitutional Convention in in 1787 while replying to Philadelphian Mrs. Powell’s question: “what form of government have you given us”?

Today I had a goal.  We have a Treeper family in need of prayer; a baby born – and a family in need of comfort.  So I settled affairs and drove to a quiet Catholic church where it is always comforting to light a candle and sit in prayer; good, strong deliberate prayer – chicken-soup-for-the-soul type prayer.

Upon exit of the chapel, a few feet past the entrance to the parking lot, I stumbled upon Sam Adams with a flat tire and a spare of little usefulness.

His name wasn’t really Sam Adams, but he held a seemingly gruff and independent disposition when I offered my assistance.

After curtly nodding no, something told me park and try again.

Alas, Sam was essentially correct; after quick review, there was nothing short of a trip to a tire shop that was going to solve the immediate crisis faced.  Obviously the viable solution rendered almost all aid offerings moot.  In the busyness of what we call life, most are not able to deliver 2 hours of solution at the drop of a hat.

Key word “most”.

Sam’s lucky day.

So off we go, useless wheel now in my trunk and Sam on his cell identifying the closest shop. (more…)

  Via Federalist – A federal judge late Friday granted a temporary restraining order against the release of recordings made at an annual meeting of abortion providers. The injunction is against the Center for Medical Progress, the group that has unveiled Planned Parenthood’s participation in the sale of organs harvested from aborted children.

Judge William H. Orrick, III, granted the injunction just hours after the order was requested by the National Abortion Federation.

Orrick was nominated to his position by hardline abortion supporter President Barack Obama. He was also a major donor to and bundler for President Obama’s presidential campaign. He raised at least $200,000 for Obama and donated $30,800 to committees supporting him, according to Public Citizen. (more…)

In what they call a “Reuters Exclusive” the news agency tries to undermine Donald Trump’s candidacy because Trump businesses have used H-2B Visa applications to hire workers.  This is an absolute joke, we’ll explain why.

Why this is a nothingburger –  Those unfamiliar with the South Florida general labor market are most likely unfamiliar with the extreme swings in “seasonal need” workers.

Does the word “Snowbird” ring a bell?  Florida has a “tourist season” which runs from (generally speaking) just after Thanksgiving to Easter annually.  January, February and March are the peak.  The first Monday in February is the absolute peak as almost every time-share and hotel unit flips that week.

The volume of work within the service and hospitality industry doubles during the tourist season, and those businesses who hire within the general labor market struggle to increase their labor in relationship to the increase in business.  In addition, local workers looking for employment are reluctant to take temporary or “seasonal” jobs, and prefer longer term -more stable- employment.

Many businesses need to double, or in some cases triple, their workforce in order to meet the business demand.  [In 2014 97,300,000 tourists visited Florida].  (more…)

According to released information Huma Abedin was paid as State Dept. Employee despite taking leave and vacations.  Additionally receiving three sources of continued income while working simultaneously for State Dept., Clinton Foundation and private lobbying company….

WASHINGTON DC –  State Department investigators concluded this year that Huma Abedin, one of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s closest aides, was overpaid by nearly $10,000 because of violations of rules governing vacation and sick leave during her tenure as an official in the department.

The finding — which Abedin has formally contested — emerged publicly Friday after Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) sent letters to Secretary of State John F. Kerry and others seeking more information about an investigation into possible “criminal” conduct by Abedin concerning her pay. (more…)

Sweet Mother of Hades this is just infinite degrees beyond evil.

David Daleidan, the man behind the Planned Parenthood abortion industry videos, revealed today that his group, CMS, has video of Stem Express leadership discussing “Fully Intact Fetuses” harvested for their biotech research.

“In a meeting with their [Stem Express] top leadership, they admitted that they sometimes get fully intact fetuses shipped to their laboratory from the abortion clinics they work with, and that could be prima facie evidence of born alive infants. And so that’s why they’re trying to suppress that videotape and they’re very scared of it.”

After failing to get the video’s stopped via a California Judge.  The Biotech company Stem Express filed an urgent plea with the federal court: (more…)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dozens of emails that traversed Hillary Clinton’s private, unsecure home server contain national security information now deemed too sensitive to make public, according to the latest batch of records released Friday.

In 2,206 pages of emails, the government censored passages to protect national security at least 64 times in 37 messages, including instances when the same information was blacked-out multiple times. Clinton has said she never sent classified information from her private email server, which The Associated Press was first to identify as operating in her home in New York.

The Friday release brings the volume of emails publicly released by the State Department to roughly 12 percent of the 55,000 pages Clinton had turned over to department lawyers earlier this year. That falls short of the 15 percent goal set by a court ruling in May, a lag the State Department attributed to interest by the inspector general of the U.S. intelligence community in the possible compromise of classified information.

Many people have asked for opinion about the Cincinnati shooting of Sam Dubose by officer Ray Tensing.   As we have shared publicly, and in a few examples privately, when it comes to explosive headline events – The Truth Has No Agenda, but everyone surrounding it has a vested interest in how it presents.

Facts that pertain:

1.) Mark O’Mara is the family attorney for Sam DuBose.   In this example, Mark O’Mara is playing a dual role to include handling the Ryan Julison responsibilities.  He’s amplifying his career credentials, and refining his craft.

2.) Cincinnati is similar to Madison Wisconsin as it pertains to the severity of infection for political correctness.  [Google is your friend, also see Colin Flaherty videos’].

3.) Cincinnati, as a larger community, has been trying to hide the scope and severity of racial attacks for the past 6 to 8 years (with increasing, and exponential frequency).  This has put all LEO in an unwinnable situation.

• Remember the recent swimming pool incident?
• Remember the mob beating in Fountain Square?
• Remember the guy who pushed the girl in front of the bus. “I hate white People”?
• Remember where the offices for the IRS conservative targeting were?
• Remember the North College Hill mob beating for “the fun of it”?

I’ll stop there.  But trust me, google is your friend on this (or use our site search feature and put in “Cincinnati”).

Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby previously stated she was going to pursue justice for Freddie Gray “by any and all means necessary“. Today, in a motion filed by the defense, the extent of Mosby’s activist intention is again reinforced.

In addition to hiding “Brady evidence“, there is a meeting between Mosby and the medical examiner (prior to the autopsy release – and undisclosed by Mosby) which indicates previous elements of her pressuring the ME to change the cause of death from “accidental” to “homicide”.

BALTIMORE – Prosecutors have information indicating that Freddie Gray “attempted to injure himself” during a previous arrest, but have intentionally withheld it from their criminal case against the six Baltimore police officers charged in Gray’s apprehension and death in April, the officers’ attorneys said in a court filing Thursday.

“Based upon information and belief, the State’s Attorney’s Office was informed of this fact, yet failed to disclose to the Defendants any statements, reports, or other communications relating to this information,” they wrote.

[…] In their filing Thursday, the defense attorneys said prosecutors have withheld “multiple witness statements from individuals who stated that Mr. Gray was banging and shaking the van at various points” after his arrest April 12, as well as “police reports, court records, and witness statements indicating that on prior occasions, Mr. Gray had fled from police and attempted to discard drugs.” (more…)

The reason the head of the DNC cannot tell the difference is because in 2015 the Democrat party has moved so far to the left, they are now fully immersed socialists.

Remember the “blue dog democrats”? It might seem like a lifetime ago, but the “blue dogs” were the democrat candidates who won election victory in 2006 and tipped the scales of power to Nancy Pelosi.

Less than four years later (two House election cycles), and due entirely to the socialist policies enacted by Nancy Pelosi and company, the “blue dog dems” were totally wiped out in 2010. (more…)
