We Are Under Attack On Facebook
For telling the truth!
The Corporate Democrats time is over. They know it. Millennials want nothing to do with their brand of politics. They are in desperate mode right now. Trying to grasp at any thing they can to hold on to power.
-----
I would not put to much stock in what happened in Alabama. If you guys couldn't beat that disgusting human being you would really be in trouble. You can't be the anti Trump party forever.

Eyes Wide Shut
Open your eyes. The Democratic party. as is, is only a token opposition to the GOP. An illusion. to make you think you actually have a choice.
Look at the facts:
You have 3 local Dems Yvonne Yolie Capin, Guido Maniscalco, and Frank Reddick in a movement to make a Trump supporter Mayor of Tampa. Ms. Capin attended his fundraiser, Victor DiMaio, former chairman of the county's Democratic Hispanic Caucus was also there. Their future with the grassroots is surely over.

Also, one way to tell where a candidate stands on the working class is to look at the venue they choose to hold their events. If you can't afford to buy a beer, beware!

David Straz Denies He Is Part Of Right Wing Cabal
In response to a question from Tampa Bay Beat, Straz denied he is a member of the cabal of $1.5 million investors recruited by the Poynter Institute/Tampa Bay Times to bail out the failing daily and benefit from its influence peddling.
-----
Those multi-millionaires identified as investors have enjoyed Times support for their government subsidized projects, personal businesses, and right-wing political objectives.
-----
The seven investors thus far identified are all wealthy men who have given heavily to Republican causes and candidates including Donald Trump and Rick Scott.

Daniel Ruth And Asher Edelson On Bob Buckhorn
“Bob Buckhorn has been a good mayor of the city. And he is a good man. But...” Daniel Ruth
-----
"I completely disagree — he has not been a good mayor, and if he is a good man, why include the “but” ...unless the two preceding sentences were meant as sarcasm, considering how corrupt and misogynistic the man has proven to be. I have heard stories of this dude yelling at female peers, and seen how little he’s done for Tampa outside the beautification of downtown. I will not be in the city come 2019, but I am excited to see an actual good mayor in the office."

Our Case For Andrew Gillum
Tallahassee mayor and Gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum has all the ingredients of a winner: a visionary platform, name recognition, a new savvy finance chairman, and charisma. Oh, and he is African-American.
-----
Gillum electrifies the demographic that is vital to Democrats, especially in off-year elections.
-----
None of Gillum’s opponents in the Democratic primary would be able to come within light years of what he is capable of achieving in a general election.
-----
Gwen Graham and Phillip Levine are old guard and come nowhere near the definition of progressive. Graham, for example, voted for fracking as a Congresswoman; Levine, as mayor of Miami Beach, praised Donald Trump. Both are attempting to reinvent themselves as left leaning to score in the Democratic primary. more

Florida's Miccosukee Tribe Says Not So Fast
Florida water managers say water running from conservation areas into the Everglades is cleaner than ever.
-----
“This is one of the most successful environmental projects in the history of the world,” South Florida Water Management District board member Jim Moran
-----
But the Miccosukee Tribe, which won a landmark case forcing the state to clean water, said the district continues to exclude polluted water on tribal land from monitoring reports.
-----
“You’re showing deceptive information and everybody wants to sing Kumbaya. Let’s take the sample today and you tell me that’s the truth.” Truman “Gene” Duncan, the tribe’s water resource director. here
Tanja Vidovic And The Good Old Boys At The Tampa Fire Rescue Department
They tried to shut her up. They tried to make her go away. They made her life miserable. Yet Tanja Vidovic — persisted.
-----
Her sin? Wanting to be treated with civility, professionalism and respect.
-----
She was just awarded $245,00 in her federal lawsuit against the city of Tampa. They could of simply cut Vidovic a check, give back her job and fire the dolts who caused her so much grief. Instead, the city went ahead to trial.
-----
Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn has a dark, almost irrational, blindside when it comes to courting the first responder community. For years, Buckhorn has failed to hold Tampa Fire Rescue accountable for its tawdry historic and systemic mistreatment of women within its ranks. here
