Right Wing News asked 240 conservative bloggers to answer a poll about their 2016 preferences for the GOP nomination. 74 actually answered. In a field of 19 potential candidates Marco Rubio won with 20.5%. Rand Paul, Scott Walker and Bobby Jindal rounded out the top four. In every iteration of the poll that Rubio was [...]

Radio Talk Show host Kevin McCollough has posted the following on his Facebook page: Oddly 100% taxation failing... #fb The pseudo-commies that penned this article have the most twisted description of "free" I've ever seen in print. All through the piece you read how the new taxes that Cuba is about to implement on their [...]

Reuters brings us an amazing piece decidedly unjournalistic spin from castro, inc. But what else can we expect from an international "news" organization with a bureau in Cuba that's accredited by the dictatorship and that has among its correspondents a "reporter" who has penned more than 1000 pieces for the official "news" organ of Communist [...]

When a "journalist" engages in a non-sequitur with the sole purpose of tripping up a Republican politician. By now you've probably read plenty about Senator Marco Rubio's GQ interview in which, out of nowhere, the interviewer asks Rubio how old he thinks the earth is. GQ: How old do you think the Earth is? Marco [...]

Great puff piece in the Miami Herald about the Miami-Dade Elections supervisor. She's so human I just want to hug her now despite the disaster she oversaw. But the best part is this paragraph about those darned Republicans and the law they passed to suppress the vote, which was buried on the third page: Among [...]

A couple of weeks ago I posted about how health Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) have been capped at $2,500 by Obamacare. The purpose of the new cap is to recover more tax revenue to pay for other aspects of Obamacare. Now that we are into open enrollment season for benefits at many employers that rude [...]

Right after the election there was a lot of analysis done on how Cuban-Americans in South Florida voted. Some gave a slight edge to Romney and some to Obama. As Lee Corso would say on College Game Day, "not so fast, my friends!" Here's my analysis using actual precinct-level election results, just published at PJ [...]

Matt K. Lewis in the Daily Caller There is obviously a lot of time between now and the next presidential election, and many will surely say it is premature to even talk about it. But with Sen. Marco Rubio going to Iowa – and Gov. Bobby Jindal speaking out on the future of the GOP [...]

Politico asks if Marco Rubio can save the GOP on immigration. Barely an hour after Mitt Romney conceded the presidential election Wednesday morning, Marco Rubio laid down his marker for 2016: No, he wouldn’t be the candidate of the tired old white guy. “The conservative movement should have particular appeal to people in minority and [...]

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – While Miami-Dade County saw some of the longest lines to vote in the state, the County finished counting its ballots Thursday as other large counties like Palm Beach and Broward continue to try to tally the final vote. A lot of people are blaming Governor Rick Scott for the long wait to [...]

It's open enrollment season for benefits at my employer. Every year I elect to set aside money in a healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Pre-tax money is taken out of my paycheck to fund this account that is used to pay for uncovered medical costs (co-pays, deductibles, etc.). In essence it takes the money you [...]

Carlos Miller is a freelance journalist who has become local celebrity for his efforts to expose overzealous police departments who arrest journalists and photographers for merely doing their jobs. His crusade began in 2007 when he was arrested by City of Miami cops. After the incident he created a blog called Photography is Not a [...]

I received this advice from my father via text just now (translation mine): Jealousy is the national pastime for many useful idiots. Socialism is the system in which the rich are made poor and the poor are made poorer. We have to be clever and intelligent to survive a socialist system. The idiots will continue [...]

Well, our side lost. I fear for our country. I saw this election as the last chance exit on the highway to bankruptcy and doom. The country isn't going to crumble tomorrow but the national debt is rapidly approaching 100% of GDP and I see no interest on the part of the White House to [...]

The mainstream media has been writing its own obituary for years now. We who observe Cuba very closely have documented how the press has made a Faustian bargain with the castro regime, surrendering its independence for "access". Any reasonable person would ask, "if they can't report what's really going on, what are they doing there?" [...]
