They say at least one-third of the nation's Republicans believe that Donald Trump can save America. Well, I don't know about all of America. But I do believe there's at least one American Trump could save if he emerges from Cleveland as the GOP presidential nominee -- Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
In a previous life, I must have been a hunting dog. It would explain this special knack I have for sniffing out hypocrisy -- and why today I have Gov. Rick Scott treed like a coon in a Florida forest.
President Obama predicted during a CNN en Español interview Monday that Congress will lift the 5-decade-old Cuba embargo sometime during the administration of the next president.
When you woke up this morning and there was no comprehensive gaming package for Florida, did you really think it was because of some clash of priorities in the House or in the Senate? Don't be silly. Every leader from the governor on down wanted basically the same thing out of the 2016 Legislature.
Steve Crisafulli and I might not agree on every issue, but I can tell you with absolute certainty, the right man fell into place after Chris Dorworth lost his 2012 re-election and the path to the speaker's chair.
Want an unvarnished look at your Legislature in action? Revisit the saga of the $7 million police radios no law enforcement agency asked for but will get anyway.
As a Republican voter, if I'm a South Florida Sun Sentinel reader, I am profoundly disappointed in my newspaper.
Rosemary O'Hara, the editorial page editor, just told me and the nation on CNN that her newspaper -- a publication that unfailingly endorses in the biggest elections -- isn't going to make a selection in the GOP primary because not one man in the diverse four-candidate field is qualified to be president. Not one.
But here's the problem: I don't get to do what they did.
I'm not a psychic, but I predicted in a story in May 2014 that Harris Corporation of Melbourne would attempt an end-run around a competitive bid process for a new contract for local and state law enforcement radios. And sure enough, that's what the Melbourne company did. And its less-than-honest methods got found out.
These publicity-stunt "minimum wage challenges" the Democrats love to stage never work. Remember the legislators in Florida who tried last September to live on $8.05 a day but threw in the towel on the second or third day?
For 14 months, from November 2014 through January 2016, casino interests plowed more than $3.2 million into political parties and the campaign war chests of leading Florida legislators, starting with Joe Negron, president designate of the Senate -- but including dozens of others. All in the hope they would get bills passed to expand gambling in Florida.
