By Kevin J. Cooper The American public sent a clear signal when they re-elected President Trump last November that they were tired of the economy of the past four years. High inflation rates and sluggish job growth are lingering while economic uncertainty held back investment. Now in 2025, with a narrow but complete majority in […]
Recently, I read an editorial supporting Puerto Rico’s statehood, which I strongly support. I appreciate that the piece noted Puerto Ricans are increasingly supporting Republicans, which challenges conventional wisdom that Puerto Rico statehood would add Democratic-leaning seats to Congress and the Electoral College. Today, statehood is an issue that both parties should get behind. In the 2024 […]
The Biden Administration has not held back on rulemaking and regulatory action in its final months, making sure to leave an imprint on every sector before President-elect Donald Trump assumes office for his second term. Recent actions by various bureaucrats and other functionaries of the administrative state in the waning days of the administration are […]
President Trump’s historic reelection was driven by issues important to voters—inflation, crime, border security, energy policy, the overreach of woke culture, and concerns about a destabilizing world order. Yet in the post-election analysis, the latter has received little attention: chaos on the world stage. From the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal to wars in Israel and Ukraine, […]
Opinion by The Floridian's Jackson Bakich President-elect Donald Trump (R) completed one of, if not the greatest, political comebacks in history this election cycle. His opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris (D), dealt with unique circumstances that put her at an immediate disadvantage. However, she made a critical mistake at the very end of her campaign […]
Dear Editor, In the post-covid world, inflationary pressure is driving up medical costs for the average patient. This is causing basic medical insurance to be unaffordable for the average consumer, and I can see the pain as people have to make tough decisions about which bills they are and are not going to pay. As […]
By U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) For the first time in half a century, voters across the country are making decisions about one of the most divisive issues in modern American politics: abortion. Or more accurately, at what stage in pregnancy it is acceptable to end the life of an unborn child. I am unapologetically […]
By Mario H. Lopez Puerto Rican music star Bad Bunny is the latest artist to garner attention for political involvement during this campaign season. The rapper, singer, and producer has been behind a series of political billboard advertisements in his home of Puerto Rico. Not terribly unusual at first, until reports that the reggaeton star’s […]
By Bryan Leib Last week in Miami at FIU’s campus, Senator Rick Scott organized a roundtable discussion with Jewish and non-Jewish leaders to facilitate a conversation about the dangerous rise of Antisemitism in Florida, calling the coalition “Floridians Against Antisemitism”. The event was attended by State Rep. Randy Fine, local mayors, prominent Rabbis and Pastors. […]
By Rep. Matt Gaetz (R) Kamala Harris has been Vice President for more than three years. As Cactus Jack Garner, FDR’s Vice President once famously quipped: The job is “not worth a bucket of warm piss.” When she rarely comes out of her box to do softball interviews, she leverages the mushy role of the […]
By Bryan Leib As I reflect on my recent run for Congress, I am filled with a deep sense of purpose and determination. This journey was not just about seeking a seat in the halls of power to effect much-needed change in our nation — it was about standing up for the values that make […]
By Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart In the Biden-Harris economy, Americans have to do more with less while eliminating nonessentials. The government can do the same. As chairman of the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee, which is responsible for funding our national security and foreign policy priorities, I have taken a scalpel to government spending. The SFOPS bill for fiscal […]
The consequential 2024 presidential election between former President Donald Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris will be decided on November 5 and, as most public opinion polls show that Trump and Harris are neck-and-neck in the race, it appears as if Democrats and their amigos in the media are pulling out all the stops […]
As a veteran with a lot of friends who are a part of that same community living on fixed retirement income, I can always see how frustrated they are every time they are hit with another increase in their cost of living. For the last several years, the single biggest issue for them has been […]
By Congressman Byron Donalds (FL-19) As an elected Member of Congress who represents Florida’s 19th Congressional District, I’ve always been a staunch advocate for maximizing the quality of water in Southwest Florida and the Sunshine State. Truth be known, public policy considerations surrounding water quality can be a convoluted and difficult topic to discuss—especially with […]
As a vape store owner and operator, I was glad to see the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary press top officials at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Department of Justice for answers about the massive increase in illicit, unauthorized vaping sales in the United States. The federal government’s inaction and ineffectiveness has created […]
By Mateo Guillamont Last month, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) held its annual global youth summit. The highly anticipated summit was simultaneously held in Miami, USA, and Stockholm, Sweden. I eagerly and enthusiastically attended the summit after being extended an invitation to participate in what I expected would be in-depth national security and military strategy […]
I know and have interacted with a lot of small businessmen and women over the years, and it has been a good thing to see that Florida has been removed from the national judicial hellholes list. Florida became a judicial hellhole by having too many legal loopholes with guarantees for legal fees. This created a […]
