Authorities say there are “multiple fatalities,” but it’s not clear yet how many people were on board the chartered plane, or whether anyone on the ground was killed in injured. The plane, which had departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas, took a sharp right turn before nosediving from 8,000 feet into the ground, BocaNewsNow reported. The plane, believed to be a Learjet 60 worth $2 million, clipped a tree and brought down power lines in a...

A former deputy Palm Beach County sheriff who fled to Moscow and became one of the Kremlin’s most prolific propagandists is working directly with Russian military intelligence to pump out deepfakes and circulate misinformation that targets Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign, according to Russian documents obtained by a European intelligence service and reviewed by The Washington Post. The documents show that John Mark Dougan, who also served in the U.S. Marines and has long claimed to be working independently of the Russian government, was provided funding by an officer from the GRU, the country’s military intelligence service. Some of the...

Sam Stern, the Republican candidate for state attorney in Palm Beach County, has just pulled off the unimaginable-he’s raised $1.1 million in thirty days, while his Democrat opponent, Alexcia Cox, has raised only about a hundred thousand. Additionally, Stern has pulled off another eyebrow-raising coup, an endorsement from the two Democrats that ran against Cox in the primary. In the last lap of this election, Stern seems to be steamrolling over Cox for a potential victory. If Stern wins, it will shock the many in this county who think this is a slam dunk for candidate Cox, who many see...

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...

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...

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...

According to a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office probable cause affidavit, Dankner and his mother were in their backyard when he asked her to dress his mannequin. After she refused to do so, Dankner stood in the doorway, blocking her from getting...

Palm Beach County Commissioner Melissa McKinlay is so arrogant that she presumes to lecture others about the danger of threats when her nineteen-year-old daughter called for the assassination of Governor Ron DeSantis on Twitter. I can’t even get my mind around the level of hypocrisy, entitlement, self-importance, and arrogance it takes to send an email as McKinlay sent me. From a .gov address, no less. McKinlay emailed me over my post about the PBA revoking its endorsement of Angelique Contreras for the school board. Around a year ago, an elected official had the police visit, Contreras, in her home because...

Yesterday, the Palm Beach County PBA withdrew its endorsement of Angelique Contreras, a Palm Beach School Board, District 4 candidate. Monday, I was sent the following graphic taken from the PBC PBA website. The PBA revoked its endorsement by noon the next day because Contreras used a single word in headlining a video a year ago. In a Facebook discussion, Contreras was joking around with some friends when someone said people should dump garbage on a county commissioner’s lawn. Contreras said something like, maybe it should be the masks.

The Palm Beach County School Board meetings are a dysfunctional mess, and school police are putting the school system on notice that, despite the best efforts of police, our children are not safe. Many school police are in constant contact with parent groups seeking change. A School Board District 6 candidate, Amanda Silvestri, read sample comments from a school police survey. The officers take the survey and pass it around to fellow officers. You can read the survey questions here:

Frank Barbieri, Jr., Board Chair of the Palm Beach County school board, cursed school police out after a contentious school board meeting Wednesday night. The understaffed, underpaid school police allegedly signed an email to Governor Ron DeSantis requesting a merger between the School Police and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
