MIAMI-DADE CIRCUIT JUDGE VICTORIA BRENNAN RESIGNS!

Judge Victoria R. BrennanJUDGE VICTORIA BRENNAN CONTRIBUTED TO CHILD ABUSE VIA PARENTAL ALIENATION BY ISSUING RESTRAINING ORDER ON INNOCENT MAN AFTER UNFAIR DV TRIAL. MOTHER USED FALSE POLICE REPORT OBTAINED BY MOTHER AT MIAMI-DADE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN VIOLATION OF FL STATUTE 741 AND 837. MOTHER COMMITTED PERJURY IN JUDGE BRENNAN’S DV COURTROOM. ALL MEN WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE JUDGE BRENNAN IN DV COURT HAVE LOST. THIS IS A BIAS JUDGE GUILTY OF GENDER DISCRIMINATION. Video – The False Allegation of Domestic Violence Epidemic Coming soon to every Florida Courthouse:

 

Judge Vicki Brennan, whose career has spanned being an Assistant State Attorney, Counsel to Governor Jeb Bush, and Circuit Court Judge, has resigned.

We have this confirmed from two separate sources.

Brennan suffered through a minor scandal this summer involving her actions in a personal matter in the Keys.

There are second acts in America, and Judge Brennan will certainly find her footing and re-emerge, as either the superb lawyer she once was, or in some other form of public service.

We are all human and we all make mistakes, and none of those things detract from our fundamental worth and value to ourselves, our family, and our community. Sometimes Judges and prosecutors lose sight of this. Only age and experience can allow someone to view an individual’s actions through the lens of time.

BRENNAN BROUHAHA

– Monday, August 15, 2016 –

Update: Take our new Judge Brennan poll.

This story was broken by David Ovalle of the Herald 

While angrily trying to boot her teen son’s drunk pals from her Key Largo home, police say a Miami judge used a metal pipe to smash the windshield of one young man’s pickup truck.
 
The episode led to a strange South Florida legal saga — for most of July, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Victoria Brennan quietly was facing an arrest warrant for criminal mischief in Monroe County, a period when she briefly sat on the bench presiding over criminal cases.
 
At a hearing last week, a Key West judge stayed the filing of the arrest warrant, putting the case in limbo after Monroe prosecutors decided to opt out of the investigation. Florida’s governor has now assigned Lee County prosecutors to review the case. Even if the case dissolves, Brennan could still face scrutiny over whether she properly disclosed to superiors and defendants that she was facing a criminal case while ruling on criminal cases.
 
On July 7, the Monroe County State Attorney’s Office “gave verbal OK” to have the arrest warrant signed, the report said. Key West Circuit Judge Timothy Koenig signed the warrant for second-degree misdemeanor criminal mischief. The warrant, however, was not — and has still not been — entered into the clerk of court’s system. It was unclear Monday why the document was not filed immediately, which is standard in criminal cases.
 
Rumpole says: Judge Brennan is a good judge and we hope she will remain a judge.
 
This however, is a lesson in humanity for all of us, including those of us who judge or prosecute others- “Let she who has not sinned, cast the first stone.”
 
We are all human. The best of us, have bad days where we do something, upon reflection, that we regret. Such transgressions should not prevent a person from serving and serving honorably when they have done so in the past. We hope this is quickly and amicably resolved.

Adios Fidel!!

History will absolve me

…is what Fidel Castro told the court that sentenced him to fifteen years for a failed coup attempt prior to his successful overthrow of the Cuban government. Pardoned and exiled, Castro returned and executed a successful coup against the Batista regime.

History has not absolved Castro.

History will condemn him.

The history of Cuba from 1959 to the present is the history of all communist dictatorships– a failed economy; a people without rights of expression and movement and ownership of private property.

The philosopher Ayn Rand wrote that there can be no rights without property rights, and history and Castro and Cuba have been a microcosm of her proof.

Our community is populated by Cuban ex-patriots whose only crimes was the ownership of property, the running of a business, and education.

When Castro imposed his dictatorship on Cuba, the doctors, lawyers, engineers, farm owners, and merchants were the first to flee torture, imprisonment, theft of their homes and businesses, and murder. Those who could not own the rights to their abilities would not stay in a society founded on altruist-collectivism.

From each according to his ability to each according to his need  cannot succeed when those with ability refuse to serve those with need.

Cuba today is an economic and ecological disaster. The farms cannot produce because the land hasn’t been taken care of. Knowledgeable farmers who had their land confiscated “for the people” left. With farm production falling, there was little to sell and GDP fell. With his country teetering on economic collapse, Castro moved Cuba into the Soviet sphere, where the Soviets propped up the Cuban economy for the next forty years until the Soviet Union collapsed. With no sponsor for his communist state, Cuba fell into economic collapse in the 1990’s; its people starving and its economy anemic.

Today Cuba is a county frozen in time. Cars and households and infrastructure remain frozen in 1959. The country cannot produce money to do more than barely feed its citizens. Technology is almost unheard of. There is nothing that Cuba produces that is new or enviable. Even its tobacco farms have fallen into fallow.

History has spoken. The Cuban revolution and communist dictatorship have failed. Hundreds of thousands of good people had their property stolen. There are no free elections, and in 2016 the country teeters without basic technology on the brink of economic collapse.

There are not many things that we can accurately predict, but this is a one hundred percent given: in days, weeks, months or even a few more years, Cuba’s totalitarian
communism and Fidel Castro will be consigned to the ash-heap of history.

Soviet Premiere Khrushchev once famously told a group of western diplomats “we will bury you.”

Cuba is burying Fidel.
And the world will soon bury Cuban totalitarian communism. 

Guaranteed!

Key Legislators Need To Be Re-Elected New Legislators Will Need an Education

Urgent support of key reform legislators needed NOW

You can help put the right people there!

Who will be sitting in Tallahassee?  You can help put the right people there!

Our mission this coming legislative session will be to, once again, educate educate, educate.  Politics are cyclical and there has been a major overhaul to the political landscape.  There is a new legislature coming to Tallahassee.  Republicans have their back against the wall, but should still hold ground.  There will be about 60 new House Reps and 10 new Senators that will need education from the ground up as to the need for alimony reform.
 
This can be an energizing moment for us if we double down instead of fading away.  We must support Senator Kelli Stargel‘s campaign and donate at www.VoteStargel.com.  If we show support, then she should support us once again in the Senate.  She has taken a tremendous amount of heat over the years of her support of alimony reform.  We have to ask her to continue to support us in the Senate.
 
We also must support and donate to State Rep Colleen Burton at www.ColleenBurton.com . Colleen has learned about this issue and is ready to, once again, support us.  She likes the challenge, but must get re-elected to be able to do so.  I believe David Santiago of Volusha County will help co-sponsor our bill in the House with Colleen.  He decided not to run for Congress because he didn’t want to get in the way of Rubio’s run and the fallout with other Congress front runners.  They will make a good team…if Colleen wins.
 

Nov 15th general election is big news for Florida.  Our State will have many newcomers and some old timers.  We will have our work cut out for us and will need to organize our districts and put members in charge of contacting the politicians in those districts.

Do your part today so you can enjoy freedom in the future.

Alan’s Message
Dear Family Law Reform Members:
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  It’s amazing to me just how political our divorce law really has become.  It doesn’t seem that our law is based on what is fair, but instead who wields the most political power in our Legislature.  This upcoming session is going to be very challenging for alimony reform.  Key issues that our Legislators face will include economic development, health care, LGBT rights, education and the environment.  In order to get a bill for alimony reform in the mix, we will have to make certain that all of our key legislators are on board.
 
The November election will decide if the GOP maintains its super-majority hold on 80 seats in the 120 member House.  I have been following the trends, and I will tell you that I’m not all that certain that this will occur.  The outcome of the race could be swayed, in part, by how well presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump get their parties’ voters to the polls. If Hillary can win, and win by (a) two-, three-, four-, five-point victory, then a lot of ballot races may go Democratic.  Conversely, if Trump can keep it close or if he can win … then the opposite will be true and a lot of these ballot races will go Republican.
 
If you have been a part of this alimony reform movement over the years, you have seen voting occur on party lines, with a few outlanders on both sides of the fence.  Whether you personally vote Democrat or Republican, it is better for our goal of alimony reform if our legislature is Republican focused as many of the Democrats seem to have a view that entitlements are justified.
 
We have a proposed bill that has been reviewed and approved by the Family Section of the Florida Bar as well as many Legislators.  As a Financial Advisor and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, I have worked closely over many years with leaders of the Family Section, our Legislators, and the Executive Board of Family Law Reform to help negotiate the terms, values, and ideals of this proposal.  While it doesn’t accomplish everything we want, it certainly provides relief and more importantly, gives permanent alimony payers hope for a future free from the bondage of their alimony payments.
 
We mustn’t let the political landscape stop our efforts for alimony reform.  If anything, we must push harder to show our resolve and our determination for reform. We can’t let the Family Section win by allowing current law to maintain its place in our society.  Change is necessary; change is needed; and change will occur as long as we don’t give up.  The highest court in the land is the land of public opinion.  We must make our voices heard and continue toward achieving our goal of alimony reform.
 
If we let up, we lose.  We will not lose…and we will not let up!!

Shoot the Messenger in Family Courts

Yes. They Shoot the Messenger in Child Custody/Access Cases | Gary Direnfeld, MSW, RSW

A parent called me asking for me to provide an assessment. I explained I do not provide court involved services anymore and explained why. The caller asked for a referral to someone who did. I offered the name of a respected colleague.

The caller emailed thereafter and included in the email messages that had been posted about the colleague on the Internet. The postings portrayed my colleague quite terribly. The caller wanted to understand how I could refer to such a person. My reply was this:

CORRUPTION

Here in Florida, the number of children who have died under the mafia of the Family Court system is increasing at an alarming rate. Count went from 490 to 533 (+6 in a matter of days) in only a few months:

Thank you Miami Herald for standing up for our children.

We must unite to put an end to this madness.
If you are tired of seeing innocent children die under the care of the family court system, help us Raise Hell, and stand up for them.

EARTHSAYLOVE | HIP HOP AND THE ART OF PEACE EDUCATION

January 1st, I spent the day looking into the case of Logan Marr, a 5 year old who had been caught in the CPS system since the age of 2, in spite of there being no allegations of any neglect (or) abuse by her mother Christy Marr. A CPS Caseworker Sally Schofield, doubled up as a Foster Care Parent, however, she could not cope with Logan’s rage at the system, for being removed from her Mother Christy. On January 31st, 2001, Sally Schofield murdered Logan Marr in her basement. She initially lied about it, but soon admitted to her use of deadly force.

When are we as AMERICANS going to stand up and no longer allow CPS to kidnap and murder our children? There have been hundreds of CPS murders or deaths of children, over the last few years.

This year, I declare January as the month of Logan Marr…

Broken Family Court System

Broken Fathers - 2015A Broken Family Court System:
‘What are You Prepared to do?’

Ignorance is bliss in some scenarios, and as a father having been involved in a contentious divorce and custody ordeal it was a luxury I found myself longing for at times. Facing a situation where one’s back is against the wall, in a court environment overtly hostile towards those who represent themselves, as a pro se litigant is a place parents should venture with extreme caution. In my situation it came to a point where in keeping up with my own case at times I began to become curious and observe what I knew to be odd behavior and activity within the court and its players.
