Joe Henderson: Making America afraid again

in 2017/Top Headlines by

It was a dark and stormy night … That oft-mocked opening to novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s 1830 work “Paul Clifford” – hey, no plagiarizing here; I give credit – seems to have inspired Donald Trump’s downbeat vision of America today. Shining city on a hill? More like Dracula’s castle at the bottom of a deep ravine. What Trump was really trying to do was Make America Afraid Again in his acceptance speech Thursday night to close the Republican convention. After planting that…

A Washington watchdog group says an investigation is needed to determine if Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi violated the law by failing to investigate or take legal action regarding complaints against Trump University and related entities after the Trump Foundation made a $25,000 contribution to a political committee supporting her.

Martin Dyckman: Pam Bondi’s mess too pungent to ignore

in Statewide/Top Headlines by

Assume that Pam Bondi were a judge. That’s a dismal prospect but bear with it. Assume further that she asked for a campaign contribution from a big shot businessman who was being sued in her court — and that after getting the money, she dismissed the case. If she was a judge, instead of Florida’s attorney general, she could be kicked out of office simply for asking anyone for a campaign contribution, even without a pending case being involved. The…

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

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.

Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has moved to muzzle a former state regulator who says he was ordered in 2010 to drop a fraud investigation into Trump University for political reasons. Paxton’s office issued a cease and desist letter to former Deputy Chief of Consumer Protection John Owens on Friday after Owens made public copies of a 14-page internal summary of the state’s case against Donald Trump for scamming millions from students of his now-defunct real estate seminar. Owens,…

Bob Buckhorn blasts Donald Trump’s decade old comments on exploiting the housing market collapse

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Citing reports about Donald Trump rooted for the housing market to collapse a decade ago, Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn called such sentiments “shameful” and “disqualifying” during a short conference call organized by the Hillary Clinton campaign on Tuesday. “I don’t know about you, but I’m not sure how you make America great again by rooting for it to fail so that you can make a quick buck, or to advise people that in the wreckage of the hopes and aspirations of…
