Iowa Takeaways – Highly dangerous Rubio the biggest winner, Clinton a clear loser
Marco Rubio’s performance in Iowa proved that the GOP’s anointed savior is now essentially the national front-runner if you continue to believe Donald Trump will fade. By closing strong in Iowa despite spending less time in the state than several candidates that finished below him, Rubio clearly established himself as one of the front-runners for […]
Marco Rubio’s Miami and legislative buddy Ralph Arza – potential problem for the GOP
Senator Marco Rubio is the great hope of establishment conservatives and the right-wing pressure groups that have influence over the GOP. The narrative goes that Ted Cruz is too conservative (though his record and rhetoric are virtually indistinguishable from Rubio) and Donald Trump is too much of a wild card that will crash to defeat. […]
Book Review: Jimmy Carter in Plains, The Presidential Hometown
Forty years ago this month Jimmy Carter won the New Hampshire Primary setting up his 1976 march to the White House. Carter, who had begun the campaign as a largely unknown governor of Georgia was catapulted to stardom thanks to hard work, strong grassroots efforts and a humbleness unbecoming of a politician. In the wake […]
Anti-Intellectualism, pandering, treason and the Marco Rubio candidacy
Florida’s Junior Senator is one of the most dangerous people to be taken seriously for a major party nomination in the post World War II era. In the past, the GOP was a hierarchical party, requiring nominees to “do their time” before being placed in a General Election. Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, […]
Marco Rubio opens GOP debate attacking President Obama’s patriotism and Americanism
Senator Marco Rubio couldn’t take the light mood of the initial minutes of the FOX News Google debate set by the moderators and front runner (at least on stage) Senate Ted Cruz. The one-term Senator who has not bothered to actually serve his state during much of that time went right for the jugular implying […]
Tampa Bay Rowdies to host invitational with MLS clubs
If you cannot beat them, join them! Tampa Bay Rowdies owner Bill Edwards is thought to be among the NASL owners who have pushed the second-division league into a rogue course within US Soccer, where the upstart league challenged Major League Soccer (MLS) at every turn imaginable. NASL has been backed in this quest by […]
Challenger – 30 Years Later; What the non-commemorations say about America
Today should be treated the way we view anniversaries of Pearl Harbor, 9/11 and JFK Assassination from where I sit. On January 28, 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger exploded at Cape Canaveral shortly after takeoff. The crew of seven on the STS-51 mission perished immediately. Admittedly, I am biased, having grown up in a NASA family […]
The conservative media has adopted Bernie Sanders. What it might mean.
One quick glance at the homepage of The Sunshine State News would indicate Bernie Sanders is now a heroine on the right. One hour of watching FOX News would indicate the same, though they always use the word “Socialist” to describe him, even in reports by supposed objective reporters in the field. The conservative media, […]

The GOP establishment desperate for a Rubio revival but none will occur, perhaps ever
The Republican establishment is in its last throes of function. Having tried everything else possible to elevate Marco Rubio and discredit Donald Trump, they are now using their proxies at The National Review and FOX News to desperately save the say. FOX News embarrassing Tuesday night statement about Donald Trump followed the New York-based Real […]
