One would think that with five open Miami-Dade commission seats this year, due to term limits finally kicking in, we would have better candidates trying to seize the opportunity. But when you really look at it, this batch of wannabes is one of the least promising. It was amazing — and it sucks — that […]
Fight nearly breaks out at early voting, caught on video There are actually five candidates in the Hialeah mayoral race that ends Tuesday, but three of them don’t really count. This election has become a head to head war between former Miami-Dade Commissioner Esteban “Stevie” Bovo and former Hialeah Councilwoman Isis Garcia-Martinez. They’re sucking all […]
Former Hialeah Mayor Raul Martinez had a popular show on Caracol 1260 AM radio every afternoon. La Hora del Regreso, which translates roughly into “the afternoon rush hour,” was a political lightning rod that went after national hoodlums like Donald Trump and local hoodlums like Joe Carollo. Until last week, when it was summarily cancelled […]
Finally, a local Republican has taken a strong stand against the party for it’s lukewarm response to the insurgents’ siege on The Capitol earlier this month: Hialeah Councilman Paul “Pablitiquito” Hernández is turning blue. He made the decision almost two weeks ago, right after the “attempted coup on the building that represents our first branch […]
Miami-Dade Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava beat her colleague on the dais to become the next county mayor — making history as the first woman elected to the position, the second most power political job in Florida.

Milly Herrera, a candidate for the Hialeah City Commission, thought she was just campaigning like every other candidate in the U.S.A.

She found herself under arrest by Hialeah Police — likely under orders by Mayor Carlos […]
It doesn’t seem that the news about absentee ballot fraud in last year’s county commission campaign has hurt Alex Diaz de la Portilla‘s fundraising for this year’s city of Miami District 1 race. Dean DLP hit and slightly surpassed the $200,000 mark in May, according to the latest campaign finance report, showing he raised $38,250 […]
Former State Sen. and current Miami city commission candidate Alex Diaz de la Portilla had another stellar month for fundraising in February, more than doubling his total to almost $86,000. But at least half of the $45,380 raised in February, according to the campaign financial reports filed last week, was through bundles, which generally indicate […]
Among the House races in South Florida this November, one of the most important, despite the little media attention, is the race to replace State Rep. Manny Diaz, Jr. in House District 103. Why is it important? Because Diaz, the GOP mafia’s pick to run for the Senate seat vacated by Rene Garcia, is one of […]
Turns out Glenn “The Goon” Rice, the political black ops soldier who did Hialeah Mayor Carlos Hernandez‘s dirty work for years, was indeed paid with city funds, supposedly for odd jobs for the public works and human resources departments — and through the lawfirm of a sitting Miami Lakes councilmember — during part of his time as […]
