Slavery Is Over, But How Long Will Some Black People Continue to Be For Sale?
By Leslie Wimes
The question you see in the headline is the one I keep asking myself every election cycle, when I see what Patrick Murphy and others like him, do. When I say others like him, I mean those who know nothing about the black community, don’t care to know anything about the black community, and feel the way to secure the votes of the black community is by buying them.

Carlos Lopez-Cantera Ready to Take Anti-Washington Message to Sunshine Summit
By Kevin Derby
Carlos López-Cantera
With 2016 around the corner, the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) will be hosting the Sunshine Summit in Orlando from Nov. 12-14 and the stakes will be high. The presidential hopefuls will take most of the spotlight but there’s another important race already taking shape as Rubio has said he will not run for a second Senate term. Florida Republicans Ron DeSantis, David Jolly, Carlos Lopez-Cantera and Todd Wilcox are already off and running and they will be at the Sunshine Summit trying to win support for their Senate bids.

Climate Change Hijinks: Shame on These 20 University Scientists
By Nancy Smith
Florida State University
America's universities: Last place you would think to look for Thought Police, right? Show me a university in this nation that isn't committed to instilling in students a hunger to question, criticize, and dissent. It's etched in their mission statements, every one. I can't find a single exception. Yet, at least 20 ivory tower scientists never got the message.
Democratic Party: Not for Grown-ups
By Mona Charen
Think of today's Democratic Party as the little village of Hamelin. A piper called Bernie Sanders toots his socialist tune, and all the little Democrats skip along behind him to ... where exactly? According to the medieval legend, the Pied Piper of Hamelin led the children away and drowned them.

The Death Spiral of Volkswagen?
By Mark Everson
The brazen criminal acts of Volkswagen call for a swift and decisive response: criminal prosecution of those responsible by the United States Department of Justice. As a former regulator and one who has toiled in the private sector in both industrial and service businesses, I am shocked by the deliberate fraud of installing a “defeat device” to deceive consumers and governments alike about the emissions and performance of Volkswagen automobiles.

Returning to Regular Order: GOP Priority
By Dennis Ross
During the past few weeks and recent days,‭ ‬the House Republican Conference has experienced a ripple of change in our congressional leadership,‭ ‬causing us to refocus the future of our party.‭ ‬In assessing a resolution to this situation,‭ ‬the answer is not merely to rearrange‭ ‬the faces of our leadership and expect that our problems will be solved.‭ ‬In fact,‭ ‬the answer is quite the contrary.‭ ‬Because there is a clamor across our nation for strong,‭ ‬conservative leadership,‭ ‬we need a fresh start,‭ ‬not just fresh faces.‭

We've been waiting for the media attacks on Ben Carson to begin.

Democratic Debate Winners and Losers
By Kevin Derby
Five Democratic presidential hopefuls took part in their first debate on Tuesday night in Las Vegas and sparks didn’t exactly fly. Joe Biden is still looking at getting in the race but Hillary Clinton, remaining the favorite even as Bernie Sanders moves up in the polls, held her own in the debate. Even with fewer candidates than the Republican field, some of the dark horses running for the Democratic nomination were lost on the stage. Here’s how the candidates -- and the moderator -- did in Las Vegas.
