Despite the Florida Democratic Party providing President Barack Obama with a list of Democratic legislature candidates that included Lisa Montelione running for House District 63 against Republican Shawn Harrison, the Hillsborough County Democratic Black Caucus said not so fast. The HCDBC put out a slate card for its members and the black community that had […]

Good Grief! Chain Gang Charlie Crist is back! I thought after 2014, Black folks would have seen the last of this snake slithering through our churches, slobbering on our kids, and pretending to be Frederick Douglass reincarnated. But, alas, with redistricting, and what he sees as a sure thing, a reprieve from Charlie Crist was […]

You would have to be living under a rock in Florida not to know that I’m the FIRST one to call out racism against Black people. I call out racism so much that I have been called racist myself. That being said, WFTV Channel 9 in Orlando is having a debate between Patrick Murphy and […]

DWS has made it clear. She would rather do anything other than spend time in Congressional District 23. The former Chair of the Democratic National Committee used that position to stay away. She spent much more time outside the district than she did in. There are cities in her district, primarily the ones where minorities […]

Some state AFL-CIO chapters have stated that there would be no endorsement of Democrats who […]

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is out as DNC Chair. The only thing left to do is relinquish the title, because as of now, she has no power! We all know the story, The Emperor Has No Clothes”, where the Emperor allowed himself to be dressed in nonexistent clothes for a procession through town, never admitting that […]

Donald Trump is in the news for making racist statements. What else is new, right? We’ve come to expect this behavior from Donald Trump. This time, the Republican nominee for the President of The United States of America said that a judge presiding over a case involving him, Judge Gonzalo Curiel, can’t do his job […]

Yesterday the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, with a 20-member board including 11 lobbyists, 7 elected officials, and 2 people who work for the PAC, endorsed Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The CBC-PAC is the political arm of the Congressional Black Caucus. If this is supposed to mean that Black folks have confidence in Debt-Trap Debbie, the CBC-PAC, […]
