Twitter again tonight reminded me about the split in the people I keep company with. Political oriented people like myself felt like Secretary Hillary Clinton was the biggest winner. She looked strong, decisive and a leader. It is also about time we had a woman President, and we quite frankly in my opinion have far […]
American soccer fans had a rough weekend, with the US Men’s National Team falling to its arguably lowest state in a decade or more with losses in the much-hyped CONCACAF Cup to Mexico and the CONCACAF U-23 Semifinals to Honduras. One positive that seems to have been missed was Freddy Adu’s stellar play for the […]

The concept is simple: A live show once a week which allows listener interaction and comments via the Rabble.TV platform and social media. Stay tuned for more details on this program in the very near future […]
There’s an old a joke where one fish asks another fish “how’s the water?” The other fish replies, “what the hell is water?” The point is, it’s difficult, if not impossible, to perceive the conditions of one’s environment. They’re just given. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to the journalistic environment that’s created around […]
As the dust settles on a crazy week, it’s looking more like Kevin McCarthy rejected the Republican party’s job as Speaker of the House, rather than being pushed out from the position. There had been rumors late Thursday and Friday, that party scolds would distribute evidence of an old affair McCarthy allegedly covered-up. There were […]

That’s thanks both to Trump, and FOX Sports who have decided to use the speech to promote tomorrow’s game. The temperature is already super high as I can personally attest to around this match so […]
Florida’s Turnpike, originally known as the Sunshine State Parkway opened in 1957 spanning 109 miles from the future Golden Glades Interchange north of Miami to Fort Pierce. It was the first limited-access road in the southeast United States outside of large urban areas. Since Florida was becoming a tourist haven, after World War II the decision […]
In a surprise move the Tampa Bay Rowdies have released Omar Salgado and Gale Agbossoumonde. Both players are former US Youth Internationals brought to the club by former Manager Thomas Rongen who also managed the US U-20 Men’s National Team for years. The Rowdies signing of former Orlando City attacker Long Tan (Who played for […]
Any continued thoughts that the American press is serious about committing resources to covering American military excesses when the story is not so flattering was put the rest this week. Six days after the United States bombed an Afghan Hospital staffed by Médecins sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) finding any mention of it in the American press […]
Many progressives are lamenting MSNBC’s format change which has emphasized hard news during the daytime rather than liberal commentary. The desire to mimic FOX News mindless commentary and selection of news (which is almost as bad as the commentary – see issues like Solyndra, Islam in America, Immigration and Benghazi) by many liberals to me […]
