The Supreme court’s decision (likely this week) on the Deployment of the National guard in Chicago is a make or break moment for the rule of law. What is at stake is no less than whether the truth and facts matter. In our system of law, trial courts determine the facts based on the record presented by both sides. Appellate courts are bound by that determination unless the lower court’s findings of fact are “clearly erroneous.” In this case, the administration is saying that a court must accept the president’s assessment, even if, as a trial judge wrote, “the administration is not tethered to the facts” That can’t be what our founding fathers envisioned. To rule for the President would show that a majority of SCOTUS justices are clearly not tethered to the Constitution.
Finally the commissioners got it right..Christopher Cobb is deserving of the honor...naming the park after Desantis and the roadway for Kirk was divisive political theater .
I was glad to see that Manatee County recently entered into a contract with Johnson Controls to capture methan at the Lena Road landfill. Not only will it help our environment, homes will be powered by this investment and Manatee County benefits financially. It is a win win.
Civilized societies do not condone murder. But neither does modern civilization condone his views: the bigotry, racism, misogyny, and corrupted Christian Nationalism of Charlie Kirk and others like him!
Read it in his own words above... if you are NOT convinced that this man does not belong on any kind of "Honor Role", it is not because you think he was a good person, for out of his on mouth comes proof he is not!. NO! It is because YOU agree with his views and bigotry!
Satcher is a grifter. Whose house is he now living in rent free? Would Pat Neal continue to pay for DeSantis buddy? Satcher got a seat at the press conference in July announcing the audit. Why? Piccolo was a slime who is up on felony charges. Says something when these are friends and allies of our governor. Need to audit the state under DeSantis for his waste.
For those interested, the school board held a discussion of the matter at our October 10th workshop. Starts at the 1hour, 19min mark.

What a lackluster performance by this council member. Represents one of the most marginalized districts in the city and has not move the needle in alleviating crime, despair, and Housing. Couldn’t even maintain a simple butterfly garden that is across the street from the church that she attends. If you can’t maintain and fix the little things. How could the citizens ever trust you on the major problems your district has.
Call it what it is, Hate Trump Rally. Why are there no leaders of this movement trying to convince Democrats to reopen the government to pay our military? It's all an obvious stunt. There is no "King", and therefore no reason to protest. With the government closed, we all see how much waste there is with non-essential employees in non-essential departments, using taxpayer dollars to pretend they are important. Give up the charade liberals.
Trump killed our soybean market and now wants to hold up Argentina, a country that exports soybeans to China. Insanity, where are the real conservatives hanging out?
This county has a bloated employment looking for ways to spend the taxpayer’s money on useless things like forty million to four lane 59th St that chokes back down to two lanes. Spending over a million for a separate sheriff repair center in Palmetto instead combining with the county garage to save duplicate services. Building only a two lane Fort Hammer bridge that was overloaded the day it opened and now spending millions to widen it. Spending millions on big street lighting every two hundred feet on residential streets. Not making developers pay the true impact cost .
Fantastic podcast this week! I have immense gratitude for Joe McClash starting the newspaper and maintaining it through the tough times. I'm also so impressed with and grateful for the excellent journalism! Mitch and Dawn - YOU are making a difference.
Israel is a violent state which seeks the death of any and all who oppose her. Even when that opposition is only exercising freedom of speech and press and association. This is a democracy?
