It’s time to admit it. Donald Trump will win again in 2020. The only way the 45th president doesn’t get reelected is if he is removed from office. That’s unlikely because Republicans still control the U.S. Senate and there are not enough votes to convict Trump. It doesn’t…
For too many years, coaches at Miami-Dade Public Schools have put in long hours working for peanuts. In many instances, the small amount they earn vanishes when they purchase food and clothing for their athletes. Sometimes they even cover light bills and copayments for doctor visits. This week the school…
Kamala Harris will have trouble persuading black voters to make her president in 2020. First, the U.S. senator from California must explain why Donald Trump has a better prison-reform record than she had as the Golden State’s attorney general. Then she’ll have to overcome the perception she’ll do anything to…
Stop me if you’ve heard this story before: LeBron James’ current team is considering firing its head coach and trading half its roster in the middle of the season. It’s a tale as old as, well, LeBron — one told every four years or so, like the…
Where does Donald Trump get his ideas for the crackdown on Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro? From this group of unfeeling toad-people hell-bent on nothing except using the political process to accumulate power, money, and prestige: Iran-Contra veteran and war hawk John Bolton, death-squad backer Elliott Abrams, Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State…
Tom Brokaw is an idiot who understands nothing about America, particularly Miami. Yesterday the former NBC news anchor and now a senior correspondent, looking like the broken shell of a man that he is, spoke with Chuck Todd on NBC’s Meet the Press. He joined a conversation about varying sentiments…
The Democratic Party can’t figure out black voters. The Dems’ messaging isn’t resonating in the hood because the party speaks to only a small segment of the African-American population that lives high above the poverty line. The majority, who still live in inner-city neighborhoods, don’t buy into many policies the Democratic Party is selling.
Miami, the football mecca of the United States, is now one of the most progressive cities in professional and collegiate sports. In the past month, the Miami Dolphins and the Miami Hurricanes have made minority hires that break down the good old boys’ network.
The right man for the job was Cristobal, who has proven he can coach a top-five program and is loved by the football community.
Black people have been souring on the Clintons and the Democrats since Bill left office in 2000.
Back in the ’90s, Snoop Dogg and I didn’t like each other much. In fact, we had our own East Coast versus West Coast rivalry. Snoop and Dr. Dre dissed me on the track Fuck wit Dre Day, and I responded with a song called, Cowards in Compton Get Sprayed…
With federal judge Ursula Ungaro’s decision to throw out a lawsuit against BuzzFeed News in U.S. District Court in Miami Wednesday, President Donald Trump took a body blow. Ungaro rejected a suit filed by Aleksej Gubarev, the head of Webzilla, an Aventura-based tech company, that asserted BuzzFeed’s publication of the so-called Trump…
For the past seven years, Miami Carol City, Miami Central, Miami Norland, and Miami Northwestern High School football programs have been taking each other out to clear a path to the District 6A state championship. Central began this remarkable run by claiming the state title for three straight years, from…
Yesterday, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio appeared in the pages of the Atlantic magazine announcing that he, quite suddenly, loves “workers.” The senator, who has been accused of being a metaphysical vehicle through which rich business tycoons launder bad ideas, is now apparently a big fan of labor unions. He thinks the…
These are tough days for the University of Miami football program. After beginning the season ranked in the top ten and supposedly ready to compete again for the national title, the Hurricanes ended with a disappointing 7-5 record that included the third four-game losing streak of head coach Mark Richt’s tenure…
Former president and repeatedly accused sex offender Bill Clinton is coming to Miami on Saturday, where he’ll help fundraise for incoming congresswoman and former Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala, who has a bunch of debt leftover from her campaign, according to the Miami Herald. The news, however, is not…
Fifty-three year old Denise Marsh was killed this past weekend when a distracted driver plowed through a group of bicyclists on State Road 84. Two others were critically injured and were still in the hospital as of late Monday. A 33-year-old woman, Nicole Vanderweit, was driving a Honda Fit when she…
As part of the GOP’s tax overhaul plan, President Donald Trump and Republicans snuck in a measure that will accelerate the gentrification of poor African-American and Hispanic neighborhoods. In recent months, governors across the nation have been designating so-called Opportunity Zones in their states. Gov. Rick Scott named 427 communities…
The recount in Florida’s gubernatorial race, which is expected to end today, gave Andrew Gillum a final Hail Mary after he narrowly lost the November 6 election to Ron DeSantis. But the Tallahassee mayor would have won decisively if he had done more to connect with African-American voters.
Florida voters really blew it in 2016. They elected Donald Trump. They reelected Marco-effing-Rubio. Both of those guys now spend every morning tweeting in their bathrobes while marching the nation ever closer to fascism and the climate-change apocalypse. Things are very, very bad right now, and it is largely Florida’s fault.
The race for Florida governor is the most heated in the history of Sunshine State politics. Why? When the black man runs against a white man, all hell breaks loose. It shouldn’t be that way. Voters should be color blind when it comes to electing the best person for the…
Donald Trump is on a mission to gaslight the United States into a civil war. He has created a climate where racist white nationalists feel comfortable attacking law-abiding citizens. Heck, he recently admitted he is a nationalist. He’s not hiding it anymore.
