Elections have consequences. All elections. Some of the local municipal races in Florida, no matter how inconsequential they may appear, could eventually shape future statewide or federal races. With this said, all elections are important, even the three 'Miracle Mile' races in the city of Coral Gables. On April 13th, residents of Coral Gables will […]
By Doug Coward Typical Florida homeowners and businesses waste large amounts of energy and money each year because of uninsulated windows, inefficient incandescent light bulbs, and particularly outdated air conditioning systems – all of which use far more energy than necessary and needlessly drive up utility bills and greenhouse gas emissions. Fortunately, energy efficiency upgrades […]
By James McCool Before I begin, it must be recognized that the aforementioned, title, “The Dangers of Political Swagger” is named so intentionally. This is due to the fact that the political factions we subscribe to no longer exist as a lingering fact about our persons, but a defining characteristic that we carry with swagger, […]
Dear Editor, We read all the time about medical malpractice lawsuits generating tens of thousands of dollars, but we should remember that letting them get out of hand, like they are here in Florida, does major damage to healthcare providers and makes treatment less accessible for patients. I’ve seen this firsthand with family and friends. […]
Among President Trump's wisest foreign policy strategies has been his tough sanctions against the brutal and illegal seizure of power by Venezuela's Maduro regime. Nicolas Maduro is one of the world's most corrupt and murderous world leaders. Chaotic protest scenes have broken out in the nation's largest city, Caracas, the nation's economic infrastructure has collapsed, […]
By Pedro Paúl Betancourt @PedroPaulB Every four years, the U.S. media, political analysts, and even the presidential candidates themselves, recognize the importance of the Latino vote in selecting a new president. This year, however, it is even more relevant. For the first time, Latinos are the largest minority in the country, with 13.3% of registered […]
By Luis Fleischman @LuisFleischman Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, Iran has been a state sponsor of terrorism. Iran has sought to expand the Islamic revolution and its influence. It cooperates with the Taliban, an extreme Islamist group in Afghanistan, and is also expected to interfere in the recent conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Iran’s criminal […]
Even before COVID, 1 in 5 Americans were receiving a surprise medical bill after seeking emergency room care. That can cripple the financial stability of a family, and it’s clear Congress needs to find a solution that will protect access to quality healthcare while safeguarding patients. Unfortunately, the new “compromise” legislation being considered in Congress […]
As the holiday shopping season kicks off, consumer advocates, law-enforcement officials, and even major brands are warning that online shoppers should be on high alert for stolen and counterfeit goods being sold on some of the largest online shopping platforms.

By Scott Lara Before COVID-19 shut down the global economy, prescription drug costs were already a concern for many Floridians. Now more than ever, with about 17% of the state’s workforce filing for unemployment, keeping the cost of prescription drugs down is crucial for consumers across the state who have been forced into challenging circumstances […]
The problem is: Most Americans don’t know what they don’t know! America is under attack from within. We have been infiltrated by Radical Sharia-compliant Islamist and Chinese/Russian Communists that hate us and want to bring our country to its knees! And they are using our civil rights laws against us to accomplish it.
The Palestinian Chronicle celebrated the growth of anti-Zionism within the United States which has been propagated by House Democratic leaders like Reps. Ted Deutch (D) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D). A recent article published by the Arab periodical titled, Good news from Washington: AIPAC, Israel losing to progressive Democrats, applauds a letter penned by U.S. House Middle East and North Africa...
Yup, that’s right, oil drilling will begin this year off of Florida’s coast. Surprised? I’d imagine so. How could something like this happen? Haven’t we seen years of elected officials introducing and passing bills and resolutions to stop this travesty? How will Florida’s military training and tourism industries survive?
This session, the Florida Legislature passed the most comprehensive and groundbreaking legislation to protect and restore Florida’s water resources. Just this week, Governor Ron DeSantis received our bill, SB 712, The Clean Waterways Act, for review and signature. It is my hope that he will sign it immediately so we can get to work and protect Florida’s water.
New levels of uncertainty stemming from the novel coronavirus have driven fresh policy agendas. These policy decisions can have serious implications on our state’s economic future and efforts to protect Florida’s environment. Lawmakers in Tallahassee and Washington can balance both objectives by stopping a ban on Florida’s offshore leasing operations, which drives economic activity and funds environmental conservation programs in...
I recently sat down for dinner with my husband who is a firefighter. He had just finished another long 24 hour shift, which has been consistent in the first responder community since the beginning of the COVD-19 outbreak. We happened upon the topic of the Olympics and how we both loved cheering on the United States as the world’s greatest...
Until recently, we enjoyed one of the most prosperous times in our nation’s history. Under the leadership of President Trump and Republicans in Congress, unemployment was at a 50-year low, wages were on the rise, and sales on main street were booming[1] — and then the invisible enemy (COVID-19) hit our shores.
