All of us have few “dispensable” dollars to spend on fun. Some of us have more than others from time to time, and there is always that ongoing debate in your mind. “Should I or shouldn’t I?” How we spend fun dollars depends on what we call fun and what we are willing to pay for. An irony is …
Thanks to the 1st Amendment, government in the United States has little power to stop people from speaking their minds. But the Bill of Rights doesn’t constrain Facebook, Twitter and other Big Tech companies, which decided in the wake of last week’s attack on the U.S. Capitol that the world …
Thank you for continuing Miguel's (Arceo) views every week. He is wise beyond his years and clarifies issues with an open mind and positivity. He gives me hope.
Rep. Matt Gaetz and Senator Rick Scott are unfit to serve in public office following their treasonous actions in voting to overturn the Nov. 3 presidential election. Their objections to the electoral vote proves they are not about the people but rather blind allegiance to a political party t…
Her beloved America is under attack. For years she watched good trashed and evil honored. Beautiful cities, monuments and memorials destroyed and basic rights denied.
I recently reread "George Washington’s Prayer For The Nation." This prayer seems to be just as necessary now as it was in our country's early years. Let us all take heart in these words.
With the never-ending stream of advertising infiltrating every device and application we use on a daily basis, I’ve recently been discovering a whole bunch of stuff I never knew I needed. Now that it’s been waved before me, I find myself desiring to part with funds and just might make a purc…
What is common knowledge to progressives is revelatory to mainstream corporate media, which completely shuns progressive intellectuals, due to a successful, wealthy-elitist backed, anti-intellectual campaign that’s been goin’ down in the U.S. since WWI.
As the holiday season wanes and we all find ourselves with maybe a bit more time on our hands, it’s time to think of how we can give back to our communities while filling our mid-winter days.
Watchdog groups have long been barking for ethics changes on Capitol Hill. Rightly so.
Representative Steube, you, along with the 126 other cowards who have not supported the peaceful transfer of power in the most recent presidential election, should be ashamed of yourselves. You and each of them should resign from office.
Abraham Lincoln’s quote, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”
Many of us began 2020 taking for granted the relative comfort and freedom we enjoyed — to get whatever we wanted, when we wanted it; and to do what we wanted to do, when and with whom we chose.
The rogue Democratic Party promoting the Chinese Communist manifesto have declared war against the American working class, a war they cannot win. This hostile takeover of America, promoted by American elitists and elected public officials, many who have held office for close to 50 years, mak…
Like many I too was refused my Corona19 [sic] shot on Thursday even with an appointment number, time slot, and five pages completed bar having pushed the Submit multiple times. Had a long conversation at the door with the manager and two very nice officers. The manager admitted the website w…
I feel sorry for Nancy Pelosi. It must be awful to wake up each morning with nothing to look forward to except deciding who you're going to hate, who you're going to try to destroy each day. The woman is so filled with hate, one wonders if she sleeps at night, or if she can even digest her f…
I live in the rural area of Sebring in a multi-family duplex community. We have many elders, disabled and a large minority group of people. I myself am elderly and care for my brother whom is medically needy and has developmental disabilities. We have lived in this development almost five ye…
As a 17-year-old boy who has always believed in this nation’s great system of democracy, I sat in horror as I watched the desecration of the United States Capitol. I watched these self-proclaimed “patriots” climb the side of the Capitol building’s perimeter, sit on the seat of the Senate, sm…
With 2020 still closer than it appears in the rearview mirror, we’re reticent to add pressure to 2021 by way of resolutions.
On Jan. 7, 2021, a friend posted on Facebook, “I’d like to cancel my subscription to 2021. I’ve experienced the free 7-day trial and I’m not interested.”
Some say – 2020 was bad, 2021 looks worse. Perhaps. They call themselves realists. But let us not be defeatists. From fiery beginnings through World War II’s hardest-bitten battles, defeating infiltrators to derailing socialism (on multiple occasions), America has rallied whenever freedom is…
My significant other, Frank D Jennings, and I, Sandra L Oblock, are both over 75 and diabetics. We have tried without success to get an appointment for the vaccine, which in itself is disturbing, but today in your paper you state that 300 slots were available on Thursday and another 300 slot…
Miami-Dade County Public Schools insisted, in a settlement, that five young women who were raped by their physical-education teacher at Brownsville Middle School were not to “impugn or disparage” the school system in any way.
Perhaps you look at the political wrangling in Washington, D.C., during the worst health care crisis in 100 years – and you wonder what has become of our great country.
How are you doing so far into this new year? This year so long-awaited, so intensely anticipated. Have you stuck to your resolutions for one week? Allow me to add one more item for your consideration as we move forward. Both a challenge and an encouragement to live a “joy-filled life.”
The damage caused by COVID-19 can be seen every day in rising numbers of deaths and hospitalizations, but some of the harm caused by the pandemic is more insidious.
This column is scheduled to come out on Saturday, Jan. 9th. While that may just be another day in January to you, to Don and me it’s special.
At the risk of sounding like a record (remember those?) that continuously skips to the point of irritation, we must ask: What’s the progress on updating CONNECT, Florida’s infamous unemployment compensation system that has the unsavory reputation for being one of the nation’s worst?
Early this morning (Thursday) the U.S. confirmed the end of the Trump administration. After a turbulent four years and a chaotic election, we were subjected to an invasion of the U.S. Capitol by lower rung Trump dissidents. Efforts by some lawmakers to overturn a national election were thwar…
Yesterday’s (Wednesday) Trump incited coup attempt was unsuccessful, but historic.
You should check on the vaccination program at the mall (Tuesday). It is a disaster. Hundreds of people have been turned away due to confusion about appointments.
As someone who “won the lottery” Tuesday by actually getting the first vaccination, I have to say I feel like I attended a super-spreader event. People were respectful, and trying to socially distance, but evidence has shown, spending that much time indoors with that many people is the real …
Enough! Trump must be removed from office. He continues to incite his base with lies and unfounded conspiracy theories. He has endangered our nation long enough.
My wife registered for the Covid vaccine shot for today (Tuesday). She had the number that was given during registration with her. She was turned away, said she needed an email or phone call verification. She didn't get any and they would not take her number that was issued on the website. N…
There are two plastic cards in my wallet that have special meaning for me. One I earned 55 years ago and it was a rite of passage that most of us yearned for, my driver’s license. It has taken many different forms and colors as I moved from state to state, and has been a record of my getting…
Small business owners and entrepreneurs have always been a special breed. Those who succeed are fearless in the face of adversity, creative in promoting their business and nimble in seizing opportunities and adjusting to changes in market conditions. They must be part soothsayer and part gambler.
The gift of canned goods. It doesn’t seem like a lot to some but let me explain what it did for us.
The 2020 election violated the United States Constitution. If the Supreme Court does not support the Constitution, then we the people must remove them. The Jewish lives and people are God’s chosen people. Our Constitution, which our laws are based on, states this fact. Black, white, red, reg…
If last year taught me anything, it’s just how little control I have over, well, pretty much all aspects of life. This peeling back of the curtain on that new reality has been rather frustrating to downright traumatic at times. Murmuring has left my lips more than I care to admit but I’m com…
Just as 2020 will long be known as the year when things really fell apart, today is a perfect day to pledge that 2021 will be the year when communities pulled it all back together.
