Republican Men Donate for Careers at Lorenzo Technical College.

President Jim Carter sends a powerful message of personal responsibility during the check presentation.

Republican Men’s Club President Jim Carter presents a check for $2,250 to advance career opportunities for students that might otherwise find it difficult to afford the tuition to achieve advanced education in technical skills.

The LWTC award will be applied to skills certification cost for deserving students. Last year our award provided assistance to 13 graduating students and was acknowledged. The Scholarship Committee will ensure appropriate oversite measures are in place and ensure all recipients acknowledge their benefactors.

Republican Men Donate to NAACP for Scholarship to National Flight Academy

“This year the committee was dutifully impressed with the work that Vincent Keeys, President of NAACP Collier County, is doing to promote and support students to attend the National Flight Academy (NFA) in Pensacola, FL. The Collier Republican Men’s Club $1,500 award will allow one deserving student to attend the academy this summer,” Announced John Thomas, chairman of the scholarship committee for the Collier Men’s Republican Club.

The immersive program uses flight simulators and teaches students how to use science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) to alleviate humanitarian crises, such as saving a crew of an overturned ship or bringing water to a natural disaster.

The Collier County students attended the academy through the student enrichment program of the NAACP of Collier County. The NAACP’s program, in collaboration with Collier County Public Schools, provides opportunities for students to get involved in art, STEM and college preparatory programs.

“Many of our minority kids are not given opportunities in the STEM-related fields,” said Collier County NAACP President Vincent Keeys. “We try and do that for them so that they eventually will obtain careers in very difficult areas, but are high-paying careers.”

Collier students spent the week on a virtual aircraft carrier at Naval Air Station Pensacola. Throughout the week, they used flight simulators and worked as a team with other Flight Academy students to complete different kinds of missions.

Keeys said the Flight Academy program has given the students an opportunity to understand the importance of teamwork and make real-life connections to what is taught in the classroom.
“As an engineer you’ve got to know a lot of math, a lot of science,” he said. “You put all those theoretical applications that they learn in school into practice.”

The Battle for Freedom – President’s Message May 2019

Jim Carter

Currently 22 Socialist Democrats are running for President. Yes, they all support Socialism to various degrees. They have four (4) major Themes:

  1.  They all despise Trump because he wants people to be independent and not dependent on government. Government’s purpose is to serve the people not the other way around. He wants workable trade policies, other countries to be responsible for paying a fair share for there own defense and domestic policies that put Americans first . Promises made, Promises kept.
  2. They are champion whiners and keep blaming everybody else for not doing better in the polls. For example Senator Gillinbrand from New York complains of sexism and being a working mom. The truth is her campaign was over before it started.
  3. They just can’t stop apologizing when confronted by someone on the campaign trail. They are spineless. Always down grading America. We know it all started with Obama and his world tour of apologizing for America as the cause of most of the world’s problems. We aren’t responsible for all that is wrong in this World. We have done more than any other country to try an make this world a better place. These self effacing candidates operate out of the same play book. Making statements like America has never been that great or women and minority’s are not doing well in this economy. The elderly will suffer if we do Social security reform. It’s the same mantra, the same playbook, just more of them embracing Socialism as the answer.
  4. They want to take away your individual FREEDOM. All of these candidates want to take something from you:
    1. Healthcare. Not one of them wants you to have the options to chose your own plan or be responsibility or accountable for your own Heath care.
    2. Education. No one has to pay for a college education. Really! That means the money comes out of your pocket.
    3. Free Speech. No way. These people want controlled speech. Look at the press, universities, etc. think like we want you to think.

These are just three examples.

These people all consider themselves elitists. You are not smart enough to make your own decisions. You shouldn’t be thinking for yourself. Only, they are capable of running your lives. They will attack your core beliefs- Faith, Family , independence, freedom of choice, the right to protect yourself or family( the Second amendment ) pride in being an American. Yes you are deplorable’s .

Lastly, not one of them wants to protect our Boarders or have immigration reform. They want open Borders. To them it’s all about power to control your life.

Tyler has earned admission to the University of Florida and will begin classes this fall. The RMCCC Scholarship Committee could not be prouder of their choice for this Republican Senior Scholarship. Tyler Hughes was obviously a great choice of the committee.

In addition to the three High School Scholarships, the Men’s Republican club will be handing out three more institutional scholarship to be announced after presentation.

President’s Message – April 2019

Jim Carter

Ilhan Omar was born in war torn Somali and because her family was of at least middle class and educated, fled to Kenya and grew up in a Muslim refuge camp.

It’s reported a Christian church in this country sponsored her and her family so they could come to the United States as refugees. Note it was CHRISTIANS that gave them an opportunity for freedom not a Muslim group. The family was settled in Northern Virginia.

Well, Omar says, in school she was treated badly and teased about her dress. I expect that is true as kids can be cruel and insensitive. Is this now a reason to hate America and expect her own prejudices to be acceptable? She says” American is so racist and hateful. I feel threaten, demonized and vilified” it’s difficult for me even to go to work.”

That is hard to believe. When you make outrageous statements like she did about 9/11 “ some people did something” and expect no negative reaction, you have to be delusional. One of the most tragic days in American history and she belittles it.

This woman CHOSE to be a politician. She is open season on anyone who chooses to disagree with her. It’s not racist or white supremacy. It’s called FREE SPEACH.

Her anti Semitic comments and attacks on our support of Israel are disgusting. It’s tragic Speaker Pelosi doesn’t have the guts to remove her from ALL committees.

Maybe, then her district will think twice about electing a hateful, narrow minded person who has no business in the US Congress. Even, more tragic, the most generous country in the World saved her life and has given every opportunity to succeed, which she has. Instead of being thankful she attacks as racist and hateful. How does she get a way with it? Well the Socialist Democratic Party says the same things.

Is the Democrat Party Imploding?

Jim Carter

Is the Democratic Party imploding? I think not. They have shifted far to the left and the struggle for leadership and direction is driven by the party’s Socialist. Some are extreme.

Let’s break this down. Newly elected Representatives Ilan Omar (Minnesota) and Rashida Tlaib( Michigan) are openly anti semantics. They and a number of their fellow travelers will do all the can to destroy our positive relationship with Israel .

Omar on The Foreign Relations Committee has been rebuked by Speaker Pelosi and other Democrats. A classic appeasement move. Also, Tlaib can be a problem because for her past. She was elected to three terms in the Michigan House and didn’t even live in the District she represented. She lied about her address. This verified by her own father. On the last day of qualifying for the U.S. House, she established an address in the District. Like Omar she is a member of the Socialist Party. Both support the more radical Muslim positions in the U.S.

Then we have Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The sweetheart of the left. Born in the Bronx, grew up in Yorktown Heights , an upper middle class neighborhood, (next to Westchester New York). A graduate of Boston University. You’ll love this, she majored in Economics. Wow, a classic example of a failed education system. She interned in Senator Ted Kennedy’s office. Yes, now you see she has been programmed for a long time.

AOC, 29 has no record of employment other than a waitress and a bartender in a Mexican Restaurant in the Bronx. Spent most other time as a community organizer. That has a familiar ring. Traveled to a number of protests. Flint Michigan water crisis (government entities all run by Democrats) and to Standing Rock, North Dakota to protest the pipe line. I wonder who paid the bills?

This genius introduced the New Green Deal. All the Democratic / Socialist candidates embraced this like it was the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Wait, Senator McConnell wans the Senate to vote on it. Oh, like rats running for cover, the all are trying to quote “rephrase” their positions.

America is on the bubble. A Socialist is Socialist no matter how you try to change the meaning. This is our Waterloo. 2020 is our day of reckoning.
