Que se ha creido Carlos Curbelo. The Miami-Dade School Board member and congressional wannabe actually had the gall to lie and accuse Ladra of extortion when he spoke with WPLG’s Michael Putney, one of the most important political reporters in the 305, on the day of my first appearance on This Week In South Florida.

Former Congressman David “Nine Lives” Rivera is not just a brilliant political mind who has managed to stay ahead of both U.S. prosecutors and the media while remaining Prince Charming among voters. He is also a media genius. Yes, the same Rivera who told The Miami Herald’s Marc Caputo to “email me” 17 times when […]
The Miami-Dade Elections Department in Doral went to the dogs Saturday as the Pets’ Voice — an organization promoting the no-kill initiative passed by voters in a 2012 non-binding referendum — bussed voters to the office for early voting from a canine obstacle course event they had at the Miami Airport Convention Center. “Could have […]
A planned recall of Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos “Good to Go” Gimenez is not yet underway, but these very rustic signs are popping up already urging folks to “Layoff Mayor Gimenez.” It is one political sign that stands out from the rest in this election week, perhaps because of its minimalist style and rustic appearance.

Former Republican Party Presidential nominee Mitt Romney will likely be photographed later today sipping cafe cubano in front of scores of rolling TV cameras and news people to prove that (1) he loves us Latins after all, even though we pretty much cost him the 2012 election and (2) Miami-Dade School Board Carlos Curbelo is […]
City of Miami Assistant City Attorney Veronica “Little Miss Ultra” Diaz and her sleazy attorney boyfriend have poured almost $100,000 into her campaign for judge. Even though she’s been on leave from her $95,000-a-year taxpayer funded job and claimed $47,000 in savings on her financial disclosure form, Diaz has been able to personally invest just […]
Former Gov. Jeb Bush was in Homestead Friday to campaign for Gov. Rick Scott. But, knowing a good earned media moment when she sees one, Miami-Dade Commissioner Lynda Bell, former mayor of Homestead, got a well-timed photo op for her own re-election bid. Bell dropped by the B&K Installations, a company that builds custom-made greenhouses, where […]
Former Republican nominee for president Mitt Romney will be in town Monday to stump for Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos Curbelo in the latter’s bid for congressional office. First, Romney and Curbelo will go to a Cuban bakery in West Kendall Monday afternoon to campaign with Curbelo. But there will also be a fundraiser that […]
There is a cost associated with the layoff of police officers — even though we are now hearing that may not happen at all — and according to union representatives, that cost is almost $3 million. A typical recruit class of 45 rookies goes through a 36-week period of academy training during which they are paid. […]
Miami-Dade Police Director JD Patterson cancelled on Friday two mandatory meetings scheduled for next week for sworn and non sworn personnel on the list to be laid off because of budget constraints. His boss, Mayor Carlos “Cry Wolf” Gimenez told him to in a memo that was pretty much like a typed spanking. “After discussions […]
