Florida newspaper: Marco Rubio should show up or resign

arco Rubio should resign from the U.S. Senate and stop "ripping off" the people of Florida, according to the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel newspaper editorial board.

"By choosing to stay in the Senate and get the publicity, perks and pay that go with the position — without doing the work — you are taking advantage of us," the paper wrote in an editorial published Tuesday. "Your job is to represent Floridians in the Senate. Either do your job, Sen. Rubio, or resign it."

The Sun Sentinel said Rubio is being paid $174,000 with taxpayer money to do a job he is not doing -- while he is criticizing others for doing the same thing.

"Two weeks ago, you took to the Senate floor to excoriate federal workers at the Department of Veterans Affairs for failing to do their jobs. You said, 'there is really no other job in the country where if you don't do your job, you don't get fired,'" the paper added. "With the exception of your job, right?"

Michelle Duggar still giving out sex advice

Michelle Duggar Writes New Blog Post Encouraging Women to Be 'Joyfully Available' to Have Sex with Husbands, Even While Pregnant

he told me: 'Michelle, I know you're so excited. You're a bride-to-be, but some day you'll be at this point. … You've got to remember this,' " Michelle wrote. " 'Anyone can iron Jim Bob's shirt, anybody can make lunch for him. He can get his lunch somewhere else. But you are the only one who can meet that special need that he has in his life for intimacy. You're it. You're the only one.' "

" 'So don't forget that, that he needs you,' " she added. " 'So when you are exhausted at the end of the day, maybe from dealing with little ones, and you fall into bed so exhausted at night, don’t forget about him because you and he are the only ones who can have that time together. No one else in the world can meet that need.' "

Michelle went on to recap her friend's advice, which is to "be available, and not just available, but be joyfully available for him. Smile and be willing to say, 'Yes, sweetie I am here for you,' no matter what, even though you may be exhausted and big pregnant and you may not feel like he feels. 'I'm still here for you and I’m going to meet that need because I know it’s a need for you.' "

Hobby Lobby Stores founder, David Green, under investigation by FBI _ stealing Iraq antiquities

http://www.inquisitr.com/2524627/duggar-family-friend-under-fbi-investigation-in-new-scandal/


The scandal-plagued Duggar family is linked to Hobby Lobby Stores founder, David Green, who is under FBI investigation for customs violations, falsifying documents, and the unauthorized export of antiquities.

In an exclusive report released today, David Green has been under FBI investigation since 2011 “for the illicit importation of cultural heritage from Iraq.” The year 2011 is the year U.S. troops left Iraq and insurgents moved in, who often sold antiquities for funding and for providing operating capital to ISIS.

The first shipment investigated was destined for a Hobby Lobby warehouse and was illegally shipped from Israel via FedEx. It contained hundreds of priceless, ancient cuneiform tablets. The shipment was fraudulently labeled “hand-crafted clay tiles” with a declared value of about $300.

It is believed that the ultimate destination of the treasures now under investigation was to be the Green family’s new museum in the nation’s capital. David Green provided $140 in funding to build the Bible Museum in Washington D.C., which is slated to open in 2017. The museum is located along museum alley, near the National Mall. Not by coincidence, Washington D.C. is where the Duggar family wants to build its anti-abortion/contraception museum under the umbrella organization Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar founded in 2013, Life U

Donald Trump's Life of Struggle: ‘My Father Gave Me a Small Loan of $1 Million’

The real estate mogul describes his life of hardship.
On Monday morning, Donald Trump appeared at a New Hampshire "Town Hall" moderated by NBC's Matt Lauer. When an attendee asked the real estate mogul if he'd ever been told "no," Trump replied by detailing a life of hardship involving a mere million dollar loan from his dad, a problem that must be all-too-familiar to struggling Americans.

"My whole life really has been a ‘no.’ And I fought through it," Trump said.



"It has not been easy for me," he said. "I started off in Brooklyn. My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars. I came into Manhattan, and I had to pay him back. And I had to pay him back with interest. But I came into Manhattan. I started buying up properties, and I did great."


When Lauer pointed out that starting out with a million dollars might not seem too difficult to most Americans, Trump's ego remained unscathed.

Jeb vs hoodie

http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/10/jeb-bush-hoodie-struggle
http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/10/jeb-bush-hoodie-struggle




as Jeb Bush’s campaign spins in erratic circles—slashing his campaign budget, tapping his unpopular brother to help fund-raise, and trailing Donald Trump—it’s only timely that this old video, taped in July, re-emerged in the public space.

Observe: Jeb’s arms, restricted, thrashing through the air, grasping for traction. Why is Jeb! even wearing a hoodie in 105-degree Vegas weather? Playing the role of the relatable candidate is never easy: just ask Hillary Clinton, who attempted to dance to Silento’s “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” on Ellen.
