Cynthia ‘Cindy’ Graves: Patrick Murphy — utter disrespect for women

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Living in a world that is out-of-touch with most Floridians, Congressman Patrick Murphy has consistently shown us why he is unfit for the job of congressman, much less the office of senator, a promotion he is currently seeking. Murphy has spent his life sheltered from the real difficulties Floridians face every day and has exaggerated his life experience in a desperate attempt to make up for the fact that he has accomplished absolutely nothing in the private sector, or in…

Michael Richardson: GOP action on voter fraud? Don’t hold your breath

in Statewide/Top Headlines by

The GOP has just been hoisted by its own petard thanks to The Donald. For the last several years the GOP has vigorously pursued the implementation of measures in one state after another that have made voting more difficult.  All along it has defended this voter suppression campaign as necessary to combat rampant voter fraud. Not surprisingly, this cynical disenfranchisement effort has had a disproportionately negative effect on traditionally Democrat voting blocs. The claim of widespread voter fraud in this…

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Everyone knows Pinellas County is home to incredible beaches, world-class entertainment, and unmatched quality of life. Because of this, Pinellas has emerged one of the nation’s top vacation destinations. This tourism boom is driving new business to local shops, restaurants and museums, and providing crucial revenue to city and regional government.

Richard El-Rassy: Keep Patrick Murphy on the bench

in 2017/Top Headlines by

On June 23, Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy of Florida’s 18th Congressional District walked onto the pitcher’s mound at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. for the Congressional Baseball Game with hopes of beating the Republicans for the eighth year in a row. In fact, all he needed to do was hold the Democrats’ 7-6 lead for one more inning, and they would have yet another W in their column. Unfortunately for Murphy, many millennials in the crowd (myself included) were sick and tired…

Bob Driver: Why would any woman vote for Donald Trump?

in 2017/Top Headlines by

“What is time? What is the meaning of life? Do you know the way to San Jose?” Along with those cosmic questions, many of us today are asking ourselves and the uncaring universe: “Why would any woman in her right mind vote for Donald Trump?” This topic arises because of Trump’s well-recorded and well-demonstrated contempt for women both as individuals and as a collective gender that constitutes at least half of the human race. Rather than repeat any of his…

Steven Kurlander: Potty mouth politics — Donald Trump misogyny will have no bearing on election

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Donald Trump recently apologized to the American people for making “vulgar” comments about a married woman, in a “locker-room” context, in 2005. It seems that if you are running for office these days, whether it be for the presidency or for the local village or town board, you must make serious amends for talking with a derogatory potty mouth about women — even if it was years ago. So in accordance with these new standards, I’m going to make an…

in Statewide/Top Headlines by

Oct. 15 will mark the end of Hispanic Heritage Month, a 30-day period in which we spend time reflecting upon the numerous contributions that Hispanics have made to our country. This year also has the distinction of being a presidential election year, so many Americans have also spent this past month looking to politicians to hopefully provide a path to prosperity and a stronger economy. While many Americans are feeling negative and making dire predictions about the future, one group…
