New Port Richey resident Robert Ayers was up bright and early on Election Day. “I’m 81 years old, and I’ve voted ever since I’ve been able to,” said Ayers, who wore a shirt with the “Freedom isn’t Free” slogan on it under a jacket. Young and old voters alike in ventured out into the rain in New Port Richey to cast ballots in the general election Tuesday. Ayers cast his ballot shortly after polls opened at 7 a.m. at the New Port Richey Recreation and Aquatic Center, but he wasn't the first to cast a ballot at that location. He declined to say whom he voted for, but he weighed in on why it was important to vote: “If you don’t vote, keep your mouth shut about something you don’t like,” he said.

Election Day started out overcast, but it should clear up.
The skies were overcast as the sun rose on Election Day and rain fell on New Port Richey, but voters still came out to the polls. Voters trickled into the precinct polls at the precinct 25 polls at the New Port Richey Recreation Center and the precinct 60 polls at the Finnish-American Club on Madison Street in New Port Richey.

How presidential candidates deal with questions about their religious beliefs
By New Port Richey resident Joseph Margetanski We're all familiar with this scenario: rumors and speculation abound about the presidential candidate not really being a Christian as he claims, but rather belongs to what some perceive as a dangerous cult that has designs to undermine American sovereignty. But if you think such speculation and fear is something unique to our current president, or this election, think again. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney aren't the first presidential aspirants to face rumors and doubts about their faith. We’ve had two other presidential candidates in our history that faced persistent concerns about their religion. In one case, those fears derailed the dreams of one Oval Office seeker. In the other case, the …

Kim Bogart says he would hold agency to higher standard.
Kim Bogart, Democratic candidate for Pasco County Sheriff, has been digging into agency reports for information on the conduct of its employees. On Wednesday, he expressed concern about what he found. In a press conference, Bogart, who is running against incumbent Sheriff Chris Nocco for the job of top cop, outlined four cases. In January, deputies went to the home of Tommy Garcia to make contact regarding an accusation that he had committed rape weeks earlier. He was not home, and they left. It’s unclear whether return visits were made. Another rape occurred weeks later. A different deputy arrested Garcia, who was charged with four counts of sexual battery, in February. “There is no excuse for delaying an arrest,” Bogart said. In …

Comint is indeed a type of Sigint, and I meant to say Elint (also a type of Sigint). And yes, there are multiple types of intel, but my point was that there are often conflicts in information that is coming in in real time and I was giving examples. In the Benghazi situation, I'd professionally wager that the best source will be Humint, supplemented by Comint. And, as multiple echelons were … more ›
