Tampa DINO Bob Buckhorn

 Local Democrats are giddy about their party's chances in the November election and it showed at the party's annual fundraising dinner this month.   Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn, wasn't invited to speak, nor was he last year. There has been tension between the mayor and local Democrats over a number of issues — his tendency to support or work with Republicans such as Attorney General Pam Bondi and Gov. Rick Scott, his lack of enthusiasm for engagement with Cuba and his defense of the Tampa Police Department in its targeting of black bicycle riders. Some local Democrats say Buckhorn's disagreements with constituencies including civil rights activists, unions and liberals could doom his 2018 hopes.  here

Miami's Versailles Restaurant Kicks Gary Johnson Out

The manager Reinaldo said it was a misunderstanding or maybe this kind of talk is not allowed. 
----------
“I applaud Obama for what he’s done,” Johnson, a former Republican, said about the president’s decision to lift some sanctions against the island. “I’m looking forward to visiting Cuba and I think it’s long overdue. Free trade is really how we bring the world together.”

Cubans And Mexicans Coming To The Coast Of Florida - Not Good!

A few hundred miles from the west coast of Florida is a 7,700-square-mile area of the Gulf of Mexico known as the Eastern Gap, thought to be rich with oil but with no clear owner.
The U.S., Cuban and Mexican governments are now negotiating how to split the area among the three nations. Once that happens, each country can drill for oil in its allotted portion. here

Elizabeth Belcher: MacDill Ferry Was A Better Idea

The first proposal: South Shore to MacDill  
The second proposal: Tampa to St.Pete
So guess which one our "brilliant" commissioners select. The second, of course. It is a test to see if the ferry could be a viable option, i.e., be able to pay for itself. I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but this really smacks of a plot to ensure the ferry proposal is a failure. The commissioners will then be able to point to it as an excuse not to fund ferries. rere

David Jolly Jump On Over To The Good Side

Republicans say they’re fighting for every seat in the House. Every seat except Florida Rep. David Jolly’s, that is. The first-term GOP incumbent is running a lone-wolf reelection campaign, fighting for his political life. here

Mr. Jolly come on over to our side. You and Mark Sharpe are one of the few republicans we like around here.

The Citrus Taliban Could Cost State $50K

Attorneys for a Gainesville abortion clinic requested Wednesday that the state be required to pay $50,000 in legal fees and costs after the clinic was cleared of an allegation that it performed second-trimester abortions without a proper license. here

Pam Bondi Your Prayers And Apologies Are Flaccid, Empty Words

Pam Bondi proclaimed that anyone targeting gays would be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law. You know, the same Pam Bondi who fought ardently against my being able to marry the man I love. The same Bondi who fought against my being able to adopt. The same Pam Bondi who, along with cronies Governor Rick Scott and Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, have fought against protecting my rights, and for allowing people to fire me just because I’m gay. here

Jackie Toledo Backstabbing Latina

Florida GOP Jackie Toledo says if elected to the Florida Legislature, she’d work to repeal two immigration laws passed, two laws that so many people around here worked so hard for.  The bills she would repeal on day one would be legislation that provides in-state tuition and law licenses for illegal aliens. here
