Trump and faux-nationalism: A threat in the very near future including Copa America
While America mourns the tragic aftermath of the Orlando terror attack, I have been focused on covering the events over in Europe where hooliganism has marred the Euro 2016 soccer finals. Unlike sporting events in the United States, football (soccer) in Europe tends to be defined by politics with team identifications often being dictated by political […]
Marco Rubio implies blame for President Obama RE: violence at Trump rallies
Donald Trump’s rhetoric is simply a reaction to President Obama’s “dividing” of America if you listen to Florida’s Junior Senator Marco Rubio. This weekend Rubio said the following: “President Obama has spent the last eight years dividing Americans among haves and have-nots, along ethnic lines, racial lines, gender lines in order to win elections. I […]
Liberals can malign Trump but not all his supporters
Donald Trump’s campaign for President has brought out the worst in America. The real estate mogul has incited the type of anger and passion from some quarters of the citizenry that we have not seen publicly in the national electorate since the 1964 through 1980. Donald Trump is scaring the political establishment more than any […]
GOP Statewide Race-Baiting in Florida from 1968 to 2016 (And those Republicans who opposed it)
Both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio have done a fair amount of race-baiting either subtle (Rubio) or overt (Trump) over the course of the last few months.

NeoCons poised to abandon GOP for Clinton?
Here in Florida we have many Republicans whose foreign policy views would fit into the “neoconservative” camp. While this state has some traditional conservatives, the neocons unique blend of a free-market driven economic ideology combined with an interventionist foreign policy (which mirrors that of the neoliberals in many ways) is completely contrary to the highly-regulated, […]
Cocky Democrats Might Be Humbled in November with Clinton as Nominee
With the Republican freak show at the presidential level, a growing confidence bordering on cockiness has begun to sweep the ranks of institutional Democrats about the 2016 election. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will almost certainly be the Democratic nominee and as a defined and perhaps fatally flawed candidate, the risk of losses for the party […]

Beginning in 1961 the Eastern Shuttle provided hourly service between New York’s LaGuardia Airport and Boston as well as Washington National.

Marco Rubio’s entitlement has yielded a bitterness toward Donald Trump: The failed dated approach of the GOP “Messiah”
At 44-years-old and having served a single US Senate term after a career spawned by the corrupt world of Miami politics and the low-caliber realm of the Florida Legislature, Marco Rubio wants to be President. Not only wants to be President but is acting like he is simply entitled to it. Marco Rubio has never […]
Super Tuesday: A victory for America and Trump’s “three P’s”
Fifteen primary and caucus contests are in the books on the GOP side and Senator Marco Rubio, the establishment’s great hope who in our view would represent the single most dangerous major party nominee since before World War II has won just once. For those scoring at home that’s 6.7% of the contests have […]
Donald Trump – Trouble for Hillary Clinton in Florida?
Many Democrats are crowing about the possibility of facing off with Donald Trump in a General Election. But if we continue under the premise that Hillary Clinton will be nominated by the Democrats some clear weaknesses that can be exploited by Trump are easily noticeable. None of the below weaknesses other than perhaps number five […]
