Progressives for A Better South Florida accuse Delray Candidates Ryan Boylston and Nick Coppola of spreading hate and inciting violence on their social media accounts in a new mailer. The always faddish and narcissistic Boylston was called out for his support of Black Lives Matter (BLM), the group responsible for an outrageous orgy of violence in many cities after the George Floyd incident and who now regularly join Jew-hating pro-Hamas demonstrations, never mind all the donor money that various BLM leaders stole. Ryan has never denounced BLM, which I’m aware of, and frankly, that’s a disgrace. BLM is a discredited...

It’s going to take constant vigilance and a profound commitment by parents and concerned institutions to stop the force-feeding of “Palestinian” propaganda to our children in Palm Beach County. According to parents and Lauren Gross of The Gross Family Center For The Study of Antisemitism And The Holocaust, a biased propaganda video was shown by teacher Mrs. Nast at William T. Dwyer High School on November 2, 2023. Gross is again organizing a massive letter campaign to the Palm Beach County School Administrators and the School Board Members to stop the showing of this propaganda and replace it with a...

Palm Beach County, Florida School Superintendent Mike Burke has placed pro-Palestinian teacher Layann Alhunaidi on administrative leave pending the completion of an investigation into her social media posts advocating for the elimination of the State of Israel. "The School District is looking into this matter thoroughly to determine if any rule, law, or policy violations occurred. Ms. Alhunaidai has been placed on administrative leave pending the completion of the investigative process. ~Michael J. Burke"

A 1st-grade teacher in Palm Beach County, Florida, a “River From the Sea Palestine Will Be Free” advocate, is about to find out how decent Americans support each other in times of crisis, and so will the Palm Beach County School District. Lauren Gross of The Gross Family Center For The Study of Antisemitism And The Holocaust has inspired five hundred people to send a letter to Superintendent Burke and the School Board of the School District of Palm Beach County asking for the dismissal of Layann Alhunaidi. On Nov. 10, I wrote about Layann Alhunaidi, a local elementary school...

Even a simple message of support for Israel and denouncing antisemitism and hate can flush out yet another person who thinks the State of Israel should be eliminated. On Oct. 10, Palm Beach County School Board Superintendent Mike Burke sent out a simple message of concern and support for Israel, denouncing antisemitism and “any form of discrimination or hatred.” "Antisemitism, like any form of discrimination or hatred, has no place in our schools or community. Our schools will not tolerate antisemitism, and we will take appropriate action to address and prevent any instances that may arise." ~Superintendent Mike Burke For...

Self-proclaimed “Demon Buster” Florida Rep. Kimberly Daniels, D-Jacksonville, made controversial statements in the past that are now coming back to haunt her. Daniels, now a member of the African American History Task Force, is in the hot seat, along with the rest of the task force this week, regarding newly adopted standards for Black History education that some partisan politicians believe downplay the horrors of slavery. Daniels has tried to distance herself from the controversy and the DeSantis administration on the heels of Vice President Kamala Harris’s loud and inaccurate criticism. Still, past comments she’s made thanking God for slavery,...

A Republican Hispanic leader, Lydia Maldonado, organized what seems to be a Democrat Hispanic rally opposing Governor DeSantis’ bill signing for legislation to crack down on illegal immigration, and she’s running for chair of the local Palm Beach County Republican Party (REC). Maldonado claims to be against illegal immigration and supports SB 1718, ensuring that illegal immigrants will not be encouraged to come to Florida. Still, she was part of a group that tried to prevent DeSantis from signing the bill into law. It didn’t work. On May 10th, Governor DeSantis signed the bill, just in time for the end...

Local Hispanic leaders in Palm Beach Beach County are trying to convince Governor DeSantis not to sign a bill into law that will stop illegal immigration in Florida, and it’s not only Democrats who seem to be having an issue. Local Hispanic GOP leader Lydia Maldonado who is running for chair of the local Republican party, says she is against illegal immigration but will not get involved in the local battle with the governor. The recent statement from the legislature sends a strong message. Florida isn’t the state for you if you’re an illegal immigrant. SB 1718 (HB 1617) was...

Governor DeSantis and the state of Florida have taken a stand by passing a hate crime bill sponsored by Republican State Representatives Mike Caruso and Randy Fine in the House and Republican Senator Alexis Calatayud in the Senate. Caruso and Fine joined the Governor in Israel to sign this historic legislation at the new Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem. The rise in antisemitism in Florida motivated Caruso to sponsor this legislation; it protects all Floridians, including those of the Jewish Faith, from all acts of religious and ethnic animus. Caruso gave an impassioned speech on the House floor. Every member...

Once you buy a politician, you want them to stay bought, and despite what the consultants and legacy media outlets say, that’s what the term limit extension vote on March 14 in Boca Raton is about. Businesses donate a lot of money to keep favored politicians in office. They know them and how to get what they want from them, and someone new is always a risk. Wannabe Mayor for Life Scott Singer is running around trying to convince everyone to extend HIS term for a year because it’s good for Boca Raton, but I doubt even Singer believes that....

A group of parents and school police officers from Palm Beach County sent a letter to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis detailing a list of severe and long-standing problems with policing in The School District of Palm Beach County. When the letter was submitted to the DeSantis administration, the group asked for whistleblower status, so I won’t reveal any individuals involved in writing or sending the letter. Still, I’ve spoken to some of them, I know who they are, and I can confirm that it is a “group.” I’ve been told it’s “hundreds and hundreds” of police and parents, but I...

When Alexandra Barkovskaya spoke at the Palm Beach County school board meeting, she may not have expected to get treated well, but it’s doubtful she thought she’d get yelled at by a clownish-looking School Board Chair wearing a Christmas suit. Barkovskaya, who often uses the last name Berk for convenience’s sake when she addresses the school board, started out by criticizing radical leftist and neo-racist District 2 school board member Alexandria Ayala’s three-thousand dollar “equity” junket. Earlier this month, the Palm Beach County School Board voted 6-1 to send Ayala on the trip.

Boynton Beach joins the Boca Raton swamp by considering a city charter amendment to add additional terms for its commissioners. Boynton Beach commissioners can serve two consecutive, 3-year terms. Boynton Beach is not a strong mayor city, meaning the mayor operates under the same rules as any other commissioner. The commission is considering amending its city charter, which residents would vote on, to decide if a commissioner who has served their allowable two terms (6 years) should be able to run for mayor without sitting a cycle out. If elected, the commissioner could serve an additional two terms, meaning they...

The Palm Beach County School Board voted 6-1 to spend three thousand dollars on sending radical leftist and District 2 school board member Alexandria Ayala, to an NSBA Equity Symposium, despite being warned again by the DeSantis administration about their ‘equity’ policy. NSBA stands for National School Board Association, and it’s to the left of Che Guevara. Every school board in the state has been warned not to violate state law. Palm Beach County was warned again by Senior Chancellor Jacob Oliva in a letter dated November 18, 2022, which said, in part:

Democrat Andy Thomson’s major support comes from left-wing radicals, and his constant denial of who he is and what he’ll do if elected is getting tiresome. Thomson is running against Republican Peggy Gosset-Seidman for Fl HD 91, but he’s pretending to be someone he’s not because he fears the red wave. The Republican Party of Florida sent this text out the other night, and it is all true. See exhibit In Democrat Andy Thomson Lying About Cutting Taxes in Boca Raton, I proved that Thomson lied about raising taxes. Still, I missed another recent tax raise he voted for, making...

Dorcas Hernández escaped death at the hands of Peru’s vicious Shining Path, who wanted to assassinate her father. Hernandez was twelve years old at the time. Now she’s an American citizen who loves her country and wants to represent Fl. House District 92. While Hernandez may be running for office in Florida, like many Floridians, it isn’t where she’s from originally. Hernandez was born in La Oroya, Peru, in the Andes mountains. Her parents were both pastors in the Christian missionary Alliance Church. Hernandez told the Florida Jolt that “I grew up in a home where faith and values were...

I’ve had to wear glasses since I was in grade school and while I always hated wearing them, getting my eyes checked was never a big deal until LensCrafters wouldn’t let me do my eye tests without a mask. I’m a medical freedom guy. I don’t believe in forced vaccinations or vaccinations as a condition of employment. I’ve worn a mask when I had no choice but to wear one. I’m not a fan of masks, and I don’t think they work well. If someone wants to do nothing about COVID, that’s their business. Conversely, If a person wants to...

Charlie Crist’s running mate, Karla-Hernández-Mats, is married to a man arrested for serving alcohol to a minor when he was twenty-six. Feliks Mats got arrested when he was a student at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN A twenty-six-year-old giving alcohol to a minor may or may not concern voters, but someone has been trying hard to erase all the evidence. Given that both Hernandez-Mats and her husband work in our school systems, the public has a right to know about this arrest.

Two Palm Beach County School Board members voted against expelling a student carrying a meat cleaver despite Florida’s Zero Tolerance Laws and the School District’s own Zero Tolerance Policy. On Wed. Sept 7, the school board voted 5-2 to expel a student for bringing a meat cleaver to school. Alexandria Ayala, District 2, and Debra Robinson, District 7, ignored Florida Statute 1006.13 and the district’s own Zero Tolerance Policy #5.1814 and voted against expulsion. The District’s policy includes weapons like metallic knuckles and billies. Which are more commonly known as brass knuckles and wooden clubs as in a police officer’s...

Trump supporters have seen it all when it comes to being suppressed, de-platformed, and marginalized by big tech, including emails. The emails from Trumpsterz Tuesday Therapy get suppressed in my inbox. Having emails suppressed is incredibly annoying and outrageous. Months ago, I signed up to get the emails from a quirky named, fun-looking Trump club in the North End of Palm Beach County called the Trumpsterz Tuesday Therapy club. The name and the whimsical graphics caught my eye. Sometimes political clubs are so serious and swelled with self-importance that they’re boring.
