I’d never met Augustus Invictus, the Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate, before a conversation at Mr. Chubby’s Wings deep on the Westside of Jacksonville. But I’d heard the stories. Narratives about goat sacrifice … about willingness to serve as legal counsel for neo-Nazis … about being banned from Canada … and most recently, about having to schedule speeches, like Tuesday night’s in Jacksonville, at “undisclosed locations” because of the “Antifa” movement. When asked about the anomaly of wearing a funeral director-style black…

NRA president backing Todd Wilcox in U.S. Senate race

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Todd Wilcox had an interesting contribution recently: $1,500 from Allan Cors, the National Rifle Association President. Cors, elected last year as president of the organization, gave $1,500 and committed to keep supporting Wilcox, says his campaign. This could be significant for Wilcox, who in a race where virtually everyone is running to the right, can count on the Naples resident’s support as evidence of his strong stance on 2nd Amendment rights. Cors has been fighting 2nd Amendment battles since the 1960s,…

Lenny Curry on Jalen Ramsey to Jags: “A helluva choice”

in Sports by

The history of Jacksonville Jaguars’ draft picks: the graveyard of broken dreams. Can Jalen Ramsey learn from these cautionary tales? We’ve had a lot of them. R. Jay Soward, who needed a limo to take him to practice. The wideout was unreliable. And then there was Matt Jones, who was expected to be a Slash player who created matchup nightmares. Sold a bunch of jerseys as a Great White Hope kind of wideout. Great talent, but not exactly an NFL mindset.…

How Alzheimer’s became an issue in the Republican U.S. Senate primary

in 2017/Top Headlines by

These are interesting times in the GOP primary for Florida’s United States seat. Evidence has emerged that Carlos Beruff, the Manatee homebuilder, is getting some traction with his TV ad-driven outsider campaign. Gov. Rick Scott spoke highly of Beruff this week in Sarasota, and said he would not endorse between Beruff and Carlos Lopez-Cantera, saying that both would “do a good job.” Perhaps with this in mind, an email went out from the CLC press shop spotlighting a controversial statement made by Beruff. “I learn every day.…
