“It makes no difference if they are criminals, flesh peddlers, and smut dealers that are exploiting American and Ecuadorian people for profit. For Clinton, if you have enough money, anything goes. This is just another reason why her brand of corruption must not be allowed into the White House.”

While the debate on whether or not “trans women” (i.e. biological males) should be allowed to compete against women in sports presses on, proponents of transgenderism continue to celebrate these “brave” “women.” One sports publication has gone as far as to name trans MMA fighter Fallon Fox, who has twice broken his biological female opponent’s skulls, the “bravest athlete in history.” To be fair, the sports publication who recognized Fox in this way is Outsports, a magazine dedicated to LGBT athletes, but it remains just as ironic to call a man who opts to fight women instead of other men...

Jeb Bush has emerged a winner from the sale of his townhome in Florida, the state where he served two terms as governor. The politician sold the two-story residence for $1.625 million — or $325,000 more than what he paid for it in 2011, records show. The townhouse in the city of Coral Gables southwest of downtown Miami features oak floors, impact windows and high-end finishes across 3,485 square feet. Stone columns frame the entry, leading directly into a living room topped with dual chandeliers.

Another scandal for the "scandal-free" Obama administration. Not all ICE targets work construction or smuggle drugs. Some are key figures in the Dem machine. But the era of Obama corruption is over. There's a new sheriff in town. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) this week arrested two millionaire fugitives from Ecuador whose family donated heavily to American political campaigns. Roberto and William Isaías, 74 and 75, were detained Wednesday in Miami and taken to a detention facility for undocumented immigrants awaiting deportation, The New York Times reported Friday. ICE told the Times that the brothers were “unlawfully present” in...

Menendez, Clinton State Dept. Helped Secure Visa for Fugitive Banker's Daughter By Jonathan Dienst. Kevin Nious and Joe Valiquette There are new questions for U.S. Sen. Robert Mendendez, who tried to help a woman get into the country after she had been accused of visa fraud and was banned from traveling to the U.S. Jonathan Dienst reports. Dec 17, 2014 New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez interceded on behalf of an Ecuadorian woman who was banned from traveling to the U.S. because of allegations she had engaged in visa fraud. The woman, Estafania Isaias, is the daughter of a fugitive from...

New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez interceded on behalf of an Ecuadorian woman who was banned from traveling to the U.S. because of allegations she had engaged in visa fraud. The woman, Estafania Isaias, is the daughter of a fugitive from Ecuador convicted in absentia for bank fraud and whose relatives in Florida made significant campaign donations to the New Jersey Democrat's 2012 campaign and the Democratic Party. Current and former U.S. government officials tell NBC 4 New York that Estefania Isaias was barred from traveling to the U.S. in 2007 because she allegedly lied on visa applications to bring immigrant...

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Margery Hadar, who began playing golf three years ago, made the most of a Sunday round at Granada Golf Course by recording TWO holes-in-one. The 73-year-old New York resident, using a driver that she called, "the best club in my bag," holed out on the 164-yard [492-feet] No.5 hole and nearly 30 minutes later on the 112-yard [336-feet] No.7 hole. The 1923 Donald Ross layout is touted as South Florida's oldest continuous operated par-3 course.

WFOR - CBS 4 in Miami will be hosting a live webcast of John McCain's Victory Rally in Coral Gables Florida tonight around midnight. http://cbs4.com/

OBAMA: Have you seen gas prices? (chanting) Hold on, guys, hold on. Hold on, guys. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, everybody. Hey, young people out there, it's no problem for you to put your signs up, but let everybody -- let me -- let me finish what I have to say, all right. Come on, guys. (yelling) All right. (yelling) So you -- so -- see --

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Founded in the 1920s as a fantasyland of Mediterranean architecture, this affluent Miami suburb, one of the nation's first planned communities, has a long-standing reputation for zealous aesthetic policing, ruling over everything from hedge heights to what colors residents may paint their homes. Now a guy in a pickup truck is threatening the social order. Lowell Kuvin, 44, wound up on the wrong side of the local code one night four years ago when he parked his forest-green 1993 Ford F-150 outside the house he was renting. The city defines pickup trucks, even those for personal...

A Staten Island mailman who was a follower of the blind terror sheik tracked down confidential addresses of FBI agents and prosecutors pursuing Al Qaeda, according to court records and federal sources. Ahmed Sattar, described by federal prosecutors as a point man for a major terror group in America, was spotted by one federal agent near his home. The agent moved his family from the area.Sattar also was put on the federal payroll, receiving thousands of dollars to be a paralegal for Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman during his 1995 terror trial, government officials said.Even though federal investigators became suspicious of...

It would be somewhat misleading to call this a freep, as I wasn't involved in any official FReep (the trip to Miami was too spontaneous to plan anything with you all), but here is my report and some pictures I took last night in Miami before, during, and after the debates. If the S. Florida FReepers held their own FReep, I hope you all post a report soon! Before the debates, I was on the intersection of U.S. 1 and 40th holding signs with fellow Bush people. I think there was over 20 people there. Our entire intersection was all...

What Is There To Debate? Posted September 30, 2004 By J.B. Williams Let's face it, Presidential debates rarely provide any real insight into the hearts and minds of the candidates. Debate rules and guidelines are designed so that handlers can script the appropriate responses in advance, the moderators are never moderates, and consequently, the American people would rather watch their favorite (scripted) realty TV show, which is far more real. We seldom need a debate to know what any sitting President thinks. In Bush's case, does anyone really wonder where he stands on anything? Whether you agree with him or...

The Siren of Defeatism The visionless Kerry is his own worst enemy. One of the reasons John Kerry is going to lose the foreign-policy debate Thursday night in Coral Gables, Florida, is that he is a pessimist and a defeatist. His recent broad-side attacks on President Bush’s war against terrorism are right out of the Vietnam-era: Blame America. Blame the commander-in-chief. Blame the military. Assume we will lose. Prime Minister Allawi of Iraq seemed to grasp the danger in this when he spoke in the Rose Garden last week: “When political leaders sound the siren of defeatism in the face...

I have watched John Kerry promise the American people in numerous campaign speeches this year that his administration will be much more successful in securing assistance from "America's traditional allies" to support the U.S. in the war on terror. Almost from the beginning of his run for the White House he has criticized the Bush administration, and I believe unjustly, for alienating friendly nations, ignoring the U.N., and deciding to go it alone in Iraq, leaving the American people to pay the cost in blood and treasure. But while Kerry's promises to secure meaningful support for the U.S. have been...
