China wants “information dominance” and is willing to engage in “political warfare” to get it, an expert said Wednesday at a Tallahassee town hall on the communist country’s theft of intellectual property, or IP. The hour-and-a-half event on the Florida State University campus was billed as a Congressional “field hearing” by Republican Congressmen Matt Gaetz […]

A Chinese-based energy concern says today’s town hall by Republican Congressmen Matt Gaetz and Neal Dunn on Chinese espionage against American companies is an “attack” that’s “entirely unfair.” Nantong Bing Energy, in a press release issued Wednesday morning, said “China has repeatedly amended its patent laws to conform to international legal standards. It has also tried to reinforce its judicial structure […]

Most anglers thought the red snapper season for fishing in federal waters came and went almost two weeks ago. Thanks to an agreement between the U.S Department of Commerce and the State of Florida, recreational anglers now have 39 additional days to go after the prized catch. The previous season lasted only three days, from […]

There are 365 days in calendar year 2017, but for 362 of those days, it will be illegal for individuals to fish in federal waters for Red Snapper. For two Panhandle congressmen, that is insufficient. Shalimar Republican Matt Gaetz and Panama City Republican Neal Dunn are urging the U.S. Department of Commerce to allow more days […]

Hey, Al! Answer your phone! That was one of the few remotely critical remarks addressed to U.S. Rep. Al Lawson during a town hall meeting in Tallahassee Tuesday, the latest in his Easter Recess swing. “I have a real problem, frequently, getting through to your office. I mean frequently, like 50 percent of the time, I […]

As U.S. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was gathering his conference and then announcing the failure of the Republican health care plan, many Florida Democrats were swiftly calling for bipartisan work to improve the Affordable Care Act instead. Republicans who opposed the bill also responded swiftly, calling for a better bill to be crafted, […]
