One of the worst things about politicians like Public Defender Carey Haughwout is that when they age out of office, they think they can control who takes their place and what happens once they’re off playing shuffleboard at Del Boca Vista. Haughwout is retiring as Palm Beach County Public Defender after 24 years on the job, and it’s a two-man race to replace her between Adam Frankel and Dan Eisinger. They’re both Democrats, so Republicans have to choose one to vote for, but God forbid either one of them actually asks Republicans for their vote the way Frankel has. Haughwout...

Rep. Lois Frankel sold her First Republic Bank stock weeks before bank's collapse Florida Democratic representative Lois Frankel is capitalizing on First Republic Bank's collapse and subsequent buyout by JP Morgan Chase & Co, according to congressional financial disclosures reported on by Newsweek. Frankel sold her stock in the San Francisco-based bank on March 16, weeks before the value of its shares dropped 75 percent and U.S. regulators seized the failing bank's assets, Newsweek reported. A few days later, on March 22, Frankel bought stock in JP Morgan Chase & Co, which on Monday bought most of First Republic Bank's...

On June 17 Rep. Lois Frankel (D-FL) was caught on video shouting at a local diner owner and threatening retaliation for his daring to hang a campaign poster for her potential opponent, Republican Primary candidate Deborah Adeimy. Richard Kline, owner of City Diner in West Palm Beach, Florida, says that he has happily served Frankel for many years as a customer, despite completely disagreeing with her politics. Kline believes Frankel was made aware of the poster by a customer who questioned Kline’s son, who works at the diner, about the poster shortly before Frankel arrived that day. The campaign poster...

President Trump announced Saturday night that his administration will no longer consider his personal resort in Doral, Fla., to host the 2020 G-7 summit, and suggested he might consider Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland instead. “Based on both Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility, we will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020,” the president tweeted. “We will begin the search for another site, including the possibility of Camp David, immediately. Thank you!” The announcement followed earlier tweets in which he said he thought he “was doing something very...

Conservative activist and journalist Laura Loomer is running for Congress in one of Florida’s Democratic-dominated districts. According to an August 2 filing with the Federal Election Commission, Loomer wants to represent Florida’s 21st district. The district is located in Southeast Florida — a liberal stronghold. The congressional seat is currently held by Trump-hating Democrat Lois Frankel, who ran unopposed in 2018. In her statement announcing her Congressional run, Loomer said: “My opponent cares far more about radical leftist special interests, her anti-Semitic colleagues, and protecting criminal illegal aliens from deportation than about her district and constituents here in Florida who...

Former West Palm Beach Mayor Lois Frankel, running for Congress in District 22, no longer has U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Plantation, to rail against. West announced he’ll be running in District 18 this year. Frankel now chooses to ignore her most immediate opponents -- Kristin Jacobs, who she’ll be facing in the Democratic primary, and Adam Hasner, the presumed Republican nominee -- to set her sights on bigger game. The former mayor chose to redirect her anger and frustration at the entire U.S. House Republican leadership and the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy. Well, no one can say she doesn’t set...

Four months into her high-profile Democratic congressional bid, former West Palm Beach Mayor Lois Frankel's campaign is still working on a website to outline her positions on issues. But Frankel moved with warp speed last week to create a site accusing U.S. Rep. and email flamethrower Allen West, R-Plantation, of being a misogynist. A day after West sent his "shut the heck up you are not a Lady" email to U.S. Rep. and Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, the Frankel campaign registered the domain name WestHatesWomen.com.

NLPC has filed a formal Complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against Lois Frankel and her campaign committee. Democrat Frankel is running against incumbent Republican Rep. Allen West in Florida's 22nd Congressional District. Frankel is the former mayor of West Palm Beach, and announced her candidacy on March 21. She is opposed in the Democratic primary by businessman Patrick Murphy. The Complaint alleges that Frankel reported more than $250,000 in income but failed to report virtually all of the expenses connected to fundraising or other campaign activity. The costs that apparently went unreported include direct mail, telephones, web hosting,...

<p>Reporting from Washington — A president governs in prose, but every now and then some poetry slips through.</p>
<p>Speaking in West Virginia after an explosion killed 29 coal miners, President Obama talked about the victims: "Most days they would emerge from the dark mine, squinting at the light. Most days, they would emerge, sweaty, dirty, dusted with coal. Most days, they would come home. Most days, but not that day."</p>

A producer for The O'Reilly Factor, who has accused the show's host of sexual harassment, reportedly caused a scene with customers at a New York hotel bar. Bethenny Frankel claims she was with friends last Friday at the Peninsula Hotel when she asked producer Andrea Mackris if she could borrow an extra chair at the TV producer's table, causing Mackris to became irate, the New York Post reported Friday. She literally verbally attacked and abused and harassed us ... like a raving lunatic. It was very strange, said Frankel, a chef and owner of a cookie-making company. Mackris' attorney confirmed...

MIAMI -- State House member Lois Frankel would be Congresswoman Lois Frankel if newly drawn district lines and election rules had been in place a decade ago, a voting patterns expert testified Tuesday in a trial over Florida's new district maps. That Frankel, who is white, would have prevailed in a district created to elect a black candidate is proof that the new lines drawn by Florida's Republican leadership illegally "retrogress" minority seats, testified Allan Lichtman, a history professor at American University in Washington, D.C. Lichtman, the first of two expert witnesses for the Democratic critics of the plans, said...

RAYMOND, Miss. May 25 — The financier who authorities say ran a multimillion-dollar insurance scam from a two-mansion compound in tony Greenwich, Conn. has pleaded guilty to corruption charges in Mississippi. Martin Frankel's plea Friday in Hinds County Circuit Court came more than a week after he pleaded guilty to federal charges. He faces up to 150 years in prison on the federal counts, but prosecutors said they would support a lower sentence if he helps recover missing money. Frankel, 47, is accused of looting insurance companies of more than $200 million. In the Mississippi court on Friday, the former...
