If you don’t vote, don’t complain. — YNOT! I wanted to make a clean, unbiased assessment of some of my state candidates who will be on my ballot this November. So I used AI to create a simple system: take two candidates, research what they themselves say they believe in, examine their stated policies and […]
There are accounting mistakes. There are typos. And then there is the kind of number that makes you stop, go back, read it again, and ask: How in the hell does $408 million become $5 billion? That is the question hanging over Brightline today — and it has become considerably more important now that parts […]
Amendment 3 is real. It will be on Florida’s November 2026 ballot. It increases the homestead exemption for non-school property taxes to as much as $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, with inflation adjustments afterward.

I prefer to remember what he cost everyone, especially the Children of Cuba. The Picture above is not Cuba. If you want […]
Brightline may be a good railroad, a popular service and a terrible investment—all at the same time. — YNOT! Florida’s most impressive passenger train may be a transportation success trapped inside a financial disaster Brightline has accomplished something that many people said could not be done in America.
