Since south Florida is made largely of transplants many locals don’t know about the complicated history of road building in the region this is a good time to discuss the remarkable road that is the Florida Turnpike. While the federal government dolled out money for roads in their native New York and Chicago, road building […]
Joe Biden is the presumptive Democratic nominee for President. Which Joe Biden will we get, the one that took aggressive liberal stands on Gun Control, fighting Apartheid and many Foreign Affairs issues or the one that sandbagged Anita Hill, pushed laws that benefited creditors over consumers and the VP for President Obama’s administration that barely […]
The 2020 Democratic Presidential nomination race accelerated a process that has been underway for a decade or more. The ability of the Democratic Party to more tightly control electoral outcomes and leadership races within its own yard, but its inability to win races on the macro level. For me personally, I do not like these […]
One of the most important events in the history of public sector unions took place right here in Florida. In 1968, Florida’s teachers walked off the job after several spot strikes and the failure of Republican Governor Claude Kirk and the Democratic legislature to properly fund education. The background and legacy of this strike is […]
Voters Speak as Oil Roars Guyana is about to become one of the wealthiest nations no one has noticed. Its election on Monday, March 2, 2020, will partially guide the country into the future but the economic changes will be the main catalyst for change. To Americans over the age of forty-five, this South American […]
This past five days we have been subjected to some of the most disingenuous moral outrage by Florida Democrats imaginable. Seemingly in reaction to Bernie Sanders comments about Fidel Castro on 60 Minutes, Florida Democrats much like last year’s race to look more anti-Maduro than the GOP piled on. Interestingly they did not take such […]
David Beckham has the world at his feet. His new MLS entry Inter Miami CF however hasn’t gotten off to the greatest of starts. The club’s trouble in launching has been well documented, but my thought was always that when a ball was finally kicked, much of that world be forgotten and we’d see a […]
George Smathers lives in infamy as the winner of the nasty 1950 Florida Democratic Primary for US Senate. In that primary Smathers defeated liberal icon incumbent Senator Claude Pepper with a red-baiting campaign that ushered in the McCarthy era. But Smathers Senate career saw him as close as anyone to the center of power. Close […]
President Trump’s citation of “Gone with the Wind” as an American film worthy of commendation while ripping a film by a Korean-producer could not have been an accident – it has to have been a carefully-scripted dog whistle to neo-Confederate types whose turnout will be important for the President’s reelection. “Gone with the Wind,” is […]
Des Moines Precinct 14. This precinct has become synonymous with the problems that occurred in Iowa a couple of weeks ago. Elizabeth Warren, receiving 19 votes less than Bernie Sanders, wins one more state delegate in the precinct. And yes, the Iowa Democratic Party have called the results official, and these errors have helped determined […]
