Ed Moore: The best Father’s Day gifts are not bought

in Apolitical/Top Headlines by

At this time of year, we always see the TV commercials advising the perfect gift for Father’s Day. It is interesting that as the year’s pass by the gifts matter so much less, and it is the times long past that we crave to recapture, even if for just a day. Yet we are bombarded with advertising as if material things could ever replace the gifts of the heart. In addition, dads everywhere get asked, ‘What do you want for…

in Apolitical/Top Headlines by

One of the responsibilities of living in the paradise of Florida is annually preparing for hurricane season. After a 10- year run with few hurricane impacts in Florida, it is important that we all prepare a plan. We certainly had a wake-up call with the heavy rains across the state from Tropical Storm Colin this past week. Therefore, I encourage you to visit the Florida Division of Emergency Management website (www.flgetaplan.com) to develop an emergency plan for your family and/or…

Darryl E. Owens: GOP revolt – too little, too late to stop Donald Trump

in Statewide/Top Headlines by

From Congress came stunning news this week of a mutiny on the “Trumpy.” After Donald Trump recently judged Mexican-American U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel unable to adjudicate impartially a lawsuit involving Trump University, his latest bid at political self-immolation made Republican Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk want to holler, throw up both his hands. “I cannot and will not support my party’s nominee for president,” Kirk, the first GOP Senator facing re-election to rescind his endorsement. “After much consideration, I have…

Mac Stipanovich: Never forget #NeverTrump

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Donald Trump‘s steep descent into megalomania, spewing racist bile, word salad nonsense and worse as he augers in, should come as a surprise to no one. You do not have to be a seer to have seen that the Trump barely hidden behind the irrational, bullying buffoon of the Republican primary campaign was likely to be even more crude, more ignorant, more outrageous, and more dangerous once freed of the restraints of intraparty competition, the kind of man who attacks…

Darryl E. Owens: ‘Roots’ reminds America’s past haunts our present, future perfect union

in Apolitical/Top Headlines by

“History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.” – Maya Angelou. In 1977, before VCRs became ubiquitous, “Roots” seized America by the throat — and never let go. Over eight nights, the trailblazing TV miniseries chronicled the struggle of kidnapped African Kunta Kinte and his descendants with a harrowing realism that rattled like leg irons in your skull. In the 1970s, “black” often prefixed insults young black kids like me…

Julie Delegal: Jeb Bush — What are you going to do about Donald Trump?

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Dear former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, At one time, while you were still running for President, you were asked an interesting question: “If you could go back in time, and ‘take out’ Hitler, would you?” You answered, as most of us would, with a resounding “yes.” It’s 2016, and I’ll spare you any comparisons between the Republican nominee for President, Donald Trump, and Adolf Hitler. I won’t conflate Trump’s brand of authoritarianism with National Socialism (Nazism), fascism, or any other…

Blake Dowling: Kicked in the conch … Bimini, part 2

in Apolitical/Top Headlines by

In early 2016, I wrote a column for Florida Politics.com about the island of Bimini, which is located in the Bahamas about 50 miles from Miami. Hemingway wrote some books there, Gary Hart got busted for some shenanigans there, it is a small fishing village with some seriously cool spots to check out. Nature, watering holes, possible site of Atlantis, the Bermuda Triangle, conch, rum, etc. I put together a piece intended to be a technology column. In the end,…
