Foster needed urgently!!!!! Dj's story!
Urgent Foster Needed!!!!
The story of DJ!
We rescued him from Miami Dade kill shelter three years ago when
he was 11 months old, we thought he was Pit/ Lab mix. He was very big and very wild and one day
from death. After being in the kennels
all this time he started to get very upset so we hired the best dog trainer in
the area to work with him. I took him to the office all the time and the house
and now instead of a wild dog we have a well-trained, beautiful, loving animal
who isn't even part Pit. He’s part
Great Dane and Lab mix.
I am extremely attached to him and would keep him but I don’t
have room at my house. He is available
for foster or adoption and comes with free training for life. I think would do
best with an active family or someone could devote time to him. Unlike most rescue dogs, he has been trained
not to bother cats. He is just a
beautiful and loving dog.
Please call or text me at 941-726-3183

Can you help Ginger?
Ginger is a sweet tempered Pit
and has been in our home as a rescue since she was six months old. She is now
four and the current foster can no longer care for her. We have moved
and no longer have room in our house and we do not want to send her to the
kennel where we keep our dogs available for adoption. She weighs 40 lbs and great with babies and
children. She may be the sweetest best natured dog we have ever had. Can
you help? Call ASAP 941-726-3183.
Prayers for Craig Morgan and his family.
I would like to send my condolences to country singer Craig Morgan and his family on the loss of their son, nothing will ever take away that kind of heart ache.
I hope you join me in prayers for their family.
Racial Profiling
A little
over 20 years ago when I was a high-profile criminal defense attorney the best
trial record in the state of Florida, maybe the country. We used to get calls all the time from
Orlando, from African-American men, who would claim they had been racially
profiled and stopped illegally in their cars.
These calls had a common thing, there are always two males
African-American and what appeared to be a lack of probable cause, it got to be
so common I developed a name for it, the Disney Stop.
I was referred a case from the neighborhood African-American street activist, who had been arrested
on the street corner for possession of a minor amount of drugs. It was obvious
after reading the case file and talking to him, that there would be absolutely
no probable cause for any arrest whatsoever. This was a fairly easy case to
resolve, I filed a motion to suppress and set a hearing. Interestingly enough, about seven Orlando
police officers showed up for the hearing.
The judge ruled in our favor and then all hell broke loose. The
arresting officer went ballistic and he was warned by the judge to calm down. He
failed to calm down, the judge warned him again that if he didn't he would be
held in contempt of court. Finally the
judge ordered him to a holding cell in the back. While the bailiffs took him back, I literally
believe there was going to be a shootout in the court room from the police.
This wasn't a major case, it was really a simple legal issue. One of the bailiffs came over to me and said
if I were you I would get out of here. He
did not have to tell me twice I couldn't get out of Orlando fast enough that
day.
Now I think it's important to add some side note here. I have my
own opinion about racial profiling this is going to be unpopular to say but I
think the cop in Ferguson, Missouri was justified and probably shot out of fear
because of the size of Michael Brown. I also think that the killing by the
police officer in Minnesota was absolutely unjustified and that officer should
face at the minimum manslaughter charges. The killing in Baton Rouge bothers me
tremendously, I don't think there was any justification there. And the killing
of the guy in New York last year, who was selling cigarettes was in my
opinion totally unjustified. And the traffic stop in Texas where the woman
ended up killing herself in jail, that cop needs a jailing in my opinion.
On the other hand the shooting of the great police officers in
Dallas makes me cry, I know a lot of great people in law-enforcement and they
are just doing a very dangerous job.
So there you have it from a former criminal defense attorney. Racial
profiling by police officers is an absolute reality but there are so many
police officers, that there are bound to be some bad apples.
An interesting side note the judge in Orlando who I thought was
even tempered, applied the law and did a great job, was Judge Belvin Perry who
later presided over the Casey Anthony case and is now in private practice.

A warning about annuities!
If you have an annuity you're not using, you’re building up a HUGE TAX BURDEN for your heirs.
Annuities are designed to be used but over 80% of people never
use theirs, leaving the government huge windfall.
What's the solution? The
Anti Annuity!
Designed to help annuity owners who are not using their
annuities, take Uncle Sam out of their money.
Even if you have surrender charges, even if you have taxable
profit, we can show you how the Anti-Annuity will benefit you and your love
ones.
The Advantages of Real Retirement Planning
I do financial seminars, hundreds of them a year and I meet
a lot of people. These people do a lot
of foolish things with their money, they get really bad advice and are really
stubborn.
Mistakes I usually see include not asking about fees, taking
too much risk, not guaranteeing a surviving spouse income and poor tax
planning.
A huge amount of people have the worst financial product - variable
annuities and hold on to them for dear life.
They fail to take longevity into account and have the "it will
never happen to me" mentality.
Interestingly enough small changes can provide for enough
guarantee and safety to navigate through the volatile times.

- 1 It's about income, income and income, I can't begin to tell you how many people I see who think that income ideas like annuities, dividend paying stocks and bonds are complete waste of time. They sit by the television and watch CNBC for hours and that's how they spend their retirement.
- 2- They can't afford or qualify for long-term care coverage so instead of looking for hybrid insurance products that include this coverage, they adopt the “it's never going to happen to me” mentality.
- 3- They hate paying income tax in substantial amounts of income, yet ignore Legacy Taxes.
To be blunt I don't blame them all. Most advisors don't have
fiduciary duties, so it's a race for firms and advisors to generate commissions
and fees.
Ask questions!
Find out fees!
Avoid variable annuities!

Dj needs a loving, foster home...
We desperately need a foster for DJ. Meet DJ he’s a Lab and Great Dane mix. We rescued him at 11 1/2 months old
and I've had him for two years. I have developed a very close relationship with
him and he's gone from being big and wild to very well behaved and trained. We
have photos of him during his successful training.
He's very affectionate, he gets along with other dogs and he's
good with kids. He is a bit goofy and very
lovable, if I could keep him, I would. He would be great for somebody loving to
foster.
