Think policing is easy? Find out for yourself and ride along
After a lapse related to the Red Chinese virus, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is once again offering the city’s residents a chance to ride with officers while they are at work. I took one this week and I highly recommend it for others – especially those who continually criticize the police. I have reference points…

New bill by Councilman Dennis may not be a “hit” with the taxpayers
Another bill has been tossed into the legislative hopper by Council Member Garrett Dennis, who has gained a reputation for championing utterly useless ideas. Apparently there has been an overlooked outbreak of people beating children in City Hall, because Dennis wants to declare it a “No Hit Zone.” It is a resolution, which means it…

Committee with a loud voice wants to be louder
In an unintentionally hilarious “news story,” First Coast News is supporting the efforts of a group of local liberals seeking to hamper law and order in Jacksonville. The so-called Jacksonville Community Action Committee held a demonstration to urge the city to reinstate the recently disbanded “Safer Together Committee,” the station reported. There is no such…

Schools keep child’s gender confusion secret from parents
Government schools in Jacksonville are using a pamphlet on “gender identity” that specifically directs employees to withhold vital information from parents. This latest assault on parental rights was confirmed for Eye on Jacksonville by an administrator who said the material is “a guidance document for employees.” If a young child is confused by liberal propaganda…

Newby shows leadership as council president
City Council President Sam Newby deserves a big Wink for ending a series of meetings that were counter-productive to law and order in Jacksonville. Called “Safer Together” workshops, they were held over the past year by two council members, Joyce Morgan and Michael Boylan. The purpose was to examine the need for police reform. They…

City Council members hide political party affiliation
For some reason, local politicians on the City Council don’t want you to know what political party they belong to. Nowhere on the city’s Web site are the council members identified by political party. Republicans enjoy a majority, and could change this in an instant, but they don’t. When a former council president, the late…

Anti-police meetings serve no useful purpose
Council Member Michael Boylan’s abrupt departure from a council assignment that serves no constructive purpose should give the council president ample reason to disband a so-called “committee.” It isn’t really a committee. The former council president just named two council members to hold “safer together workshops” to discuss complaints about policing. Boylan and Joyce Morgan…

Sonny B’s Rant: The case for ‘Right to Try’ for Covid-19
This letter may come across like I’m ranting or rambling, but the lunacy of a totalitarian rogue Biden administration is conjoined chaos leading to a communist agenda, set out to destroy our freedoms under the constitution. Examples are: Blocking, demonizing, censoring, and hiding proven treatments of Covid-19 (Wuhan virus) such as mask mandates, mandatory covid…

City’s way of disbursing extra dollars needs a tune-up
Clearly, the city’s process for donating your money to charity is out of kilter. It was on display when the City Council voted Tuesday to give away $4.6 million to local non-profit agencies. It was passed as an emergency although the council had a year to decide how to spend the money. It was money…

One Jacksonville mom has become a national hero for bucking government school indoctrination of America’s children. Quisha King has been featured in national publications this week for her work, which culminated with a plea for a mass exodus from government schools. She is Eye on Jacksonville’s Citizen of the Month. King is a communications and…

Jacksonville parents concerned with their rights don’t view themselves as terrorists
An astounding announcement by the federal government demonizing parents who care about the education they get in government schools is galvanizing Jacksonville families. Attorney General Merrick Garland is diverting the resources of the Department of Justice to focus on concerned parents, despite the myriad of real problems it should be addressing. Parents who complain to…

Rally to Save Women of the Southland Monument – your big mouth is needed
Your voice is needed to honor the Women of the Southland Monument on Tuesday, Oct. 12 during public comments of the City Council Meeting. This monument has become a target of the Northside Coalition led by Ben Frazier. Mr. Frazier has become a big mouth piece for hatred against stone monuments. But this time, he’s…

Sonny B: My journey to become an information warrior
I retired as a Fireman of Jacksonville. It took courage, determination, commitment, proper planning and hard work to finally get to the point of retirement. While employed with the JFRD, I became interested in food and found out I really enjoyed cooking. I became so enamored with the preparation of food, I wanted to attend…

Divisive efforts to revise history continue in the city
Ben Frazier, head of a group known as the Northside Coalition, is continuing his quest to remove all traces of the Confederacy from Jacksonville but like other Democrats he may be overreaching. Frazier seems to think he has Council Member Matt Carlucci, a candidate for mayor, on his side as solidly as the current mayor,…
