“Above all, there was fear: fear of today, fear of tomorrow … fear of our neighbors, and fear of ourselves … Only when you understand that, can you understand what Hitler meant to us: Lift your heads. Be proud to be German. There are devils among us: Communists, liberals, Jews, Gypsies. Once these devils will […]

Gary Nader, the Lebanon-born, Dominican-raised publisher and philanthropist, has risen to become one of the art world’s most significant figures. Now, what occupies Nader is an even more ambitious project: The Nader Latin American Art Museum (LAAM) at Miami-Dade College. The $900 million museum, set to open late in 2016 or early 2017, will be […]

That’s a birthday we celebrate with pride — and I hope you take a minute to sign our birthday card! But it’s also a timely reminder that action is needed. If our leaders fail to update Social Security, future retirees could face benefit cuts of nearly 25 percent. Think about that! A cut that large […]

A report in the TCPalm about incoming Florida Senate President Joe Negron‘s fundraising activities offers an incomplete, naive, and laughable insight into the otherwise serious subjects of campaign finance and how legislative leaders rise to the top of their respective chambers. Investigative reporter George Andreassi paints by the numbers with his exaggerations of the fundraising circuit; use of well-regarded, […]

Trump has established himself as the King of Bankruptcies. It is public record that in the late 1980s, Trump hid the facts from banks and the public about his severely failing casino companies, and convinced the banks to lend him additional billions of dollars. Shortly after, these Trump companies defaulted on their debts, failed the […]

One of the truisms of Tallahassee is how arcane policy subjects that barely register with the average citizen become life-or-death topics among denizens of The Process. So it goes with worker’s comp. The town is atwitter in anticipation of Tuesday’s Office of Insurance Regulation hearing on a proposed nearly 20 percent hike in premiums for workers’ […]

By now, candidates surely must know that everything they say will be instantly analyzed, dissected and, most importantly, fact-checked to make sure they are not fibbing. Outfits like PolitiFact and FactCheck make their living by exposing politicians who are challenged by the truth. So I can’t understand why any serious candidate would risk the wrath […]

Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry is a serious football fan, particularly of the Jacksonville Jaguars. An interesting thing about the Jags — last year, at least — is the team’s propensity for starting slow and, at the end of the game, attempting to make up ground. Early on, the offense would look tentative, even halting. By the […]

The Florida Chamber of Commerce is making a high-risk, high-reward investment in a Florida legislative race where the choice of which candidates it is supporting does not, at first glance, appear to be a black-and-white decision. In Florida Senate District 1, the Chamber is backing Republican state Rep. Doug Broxson over his House colleague Mike Hill, despite the latter’s A rating […]

Advocates for both medical marijuana and the outright legalization of the herb were dealt a blow yesterday when the Drug Enforcement Administration rejected a bid to reconsider how it treats marijuana under federal drug control laws. Along with much more serious drugs such as heroin and acid, pot is considered a Schedule I drug under the […]
