Miami Sees Its First Nonethnic Mayor in 28 Years: White Female.

Miami Sees Its First Nonethnic Mayor in 28 Years: White Female.
Maybe Halley’s Comet is coming to America again. The City of Miami just voted in a non-Republican, non-ethnic white woman to be its mayor. Miami has a White non-Latin population of about 14 percent.
Like the African American population in Miami, White Americans have become an endangered species.
For the past forty years, significant issues have affected the Black American community in Miami.
 
A combination of factors, such as displacement due to urban development, violent incidents involving law enforcement, natural aging demographics, and gang-related violence, has contributed to a decline in their population.
 
For instance, according to a *Miami Herald* report, there were numerous cases of police interventions leading to community concerns.
Additionally, the economic pressures of rising living costs have often forced families to relocate.
 
To gain a more comprehensive view of the current situation, further detailed studies and statistics would be needed.

This event of a non-Latino Miami Mayor is the first in 28 years. Ohio-born Eileen Higgins pulled off what no other woman has since the City of Miami was incorporated 129 years ago by another woman from Ohio, Julia DeForest Tuttle.
 
Higgins, a seasoned politician with a background in local governance, has served on the Miami-Dade County Commission, where she focused on transportation, affordable housing, and environmental issues.
 
Her platform emphasizes community-led initiatives, transparency in city government, and sustainable growth for Miami’s diverse population.

Corrupt Politician Manuel Noriega Fires Miami Police Chief For Looking Into Corruption.

Mayor-elect Higgins is known for her strong advocacy for sustainable urban development and transportation reform.
With a focus on expanding affordable housing initiatives, her leadership in the Miami-Dade County Commission has been notable.
Her commitment to addressing Miami’s diverse needs through transparent governance and community engagement sets a promising tone for her tenure.

Both Higgins and Caroline’s names sound they they were on the list of the Mayflower. When the mayor-elect talks, she sounds like your school principal from way back in the day.
Paradise Lost — Miami.
Mayor-elect Higgins promised to keep corruption out of Miami City Hall. But is it too late for Miami to be anything other than a bastion of corruption, a paradise lost? Just before the November 05, 2025, election, several Miami Commissioners attempted to move the election to November 2025.

Such a move would keep members of the current commission in office for at least one more year. Some of whom have been on the Miami Commission since 1979. Many stories have been written about Miami as a “paradise lost.” The city has come a long way, becoming a major American metropolis. The growth of the city was largely fueled by the drug money of the Cocaine Cowboys.

129 years after an Ohioan founded the City of Miami, Eileen Higgins, an Ohioan, became its first female mayor. Let’s hope she’s not the last one.

Rep. Jasmine The Thot Crockett Announces U.S. Senate Bid.
Surprised! On Monday, December 08, Texas U.S. Rep. Jasmine (the “Thot”) Crockett announced her bid for a U.S. Senate seat. Who didn’t see this coming? Rep. Crockett launched her Democratic primary race to challenge Incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn for his seat.”
First, Crockett will have to get through the Democratic primary to get to Sen. Cornyn in the general election. On December 07, fellow Democrat Colin Allred dropped out of the Democratic primary race to clear the path for Rep. Jasmine Crockett to run. (Former Texas Rep. Colin Allred ends his US Senate campaign in favor of House comeback bid, 2025)
Rep. Crockett has been in the US House of Representatives, representing herself, since 2023. Since then, she’s built up a reputation as the fiesty pepper-tongue mammy. She’s always quick with a sassy quip and great at shuffling her feet to entertain White liberals. Among serious-minded Black people, she’s known as the female version of Mr. Bojangles—a dancing minstrel and a stepping fetchet.

Greene surprised the political world when she announced her departure from Congress on January 05, 2026. Rep Greene herself is no stranger to controversy, but she knew she was no match for schoolyard Tea Gurl.
Additionally, Greene came under heavy scrutiny and pressure from supporters of President Trump after she demanded the release of the “Epstein Files.”
With Colin Allred joining the Rep Crockett camp, Crockett faces one other challenger in the Democratic primary race. Texas House Rep. James Talarico has also thrown his hat in the ring.
Sen. Cornyn major primary challenge comes from his fellow Republican, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Currently, Texas incumbent Senator John Cornyn enjoys the support of several bigwig Republicans.

Female Boss Sexually Harassed Male Worker: Tenderfoot Files $100 Million Lawsuit.

Female Boss Sexually Harassed Male Worker: Tenderfoot Files $100 Million Lawsuit.

A female boss faces serious allegations of sexual harassment, sparking public outrage and curiosity about the case.

A male worker, Kian Cooper, has filed a $100 million lawsuit against Saint Joseph’s Medical Center program director Michele Poole, alleging sexual Harassment and wrongful coercion, including being forced to work early mornings to plow her field, which raises questions about the specific legal claims involved.

The tenderfoot cooper wants $100 million for plowing his boss’s field against his will. Wow. Do you remember the days of slavery? Negro, how many nuts did you bust? Cooper claims Ms. Poole put him on a guilt trip by telling him, “I’m sooo undervalued. You know even a Mercedes needs a tune up sometimes,” according to his $100 million sex discrimination lawsuit. Pink boy, did you get an erection?

Ms. Poole

While Ms. Poole describes herself as a Mercedes Benz, She’s more like a  Ford Pintos that explodes every time something hit in the back.

Mr. Cooper’s Lawsuit alleges that Director Poole demanded that he come to work early in the morning, when his Woody Woodpecker has a ferocious tendency to peck flesh. It’s like a hungry vulture.
“What do I get for a promotion? Anything you want. Anything?”
While plowing Poole’s field, Mr. Cooper earned a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree. Did he get special treatment to leave work early, or extra time to study?

Fifty-year-old Cooper claims he didn’t know what he was doing.
The tenderfoot claims he came to work early every morning to perform sexual tasks under threat of termination from his supervisor, Ms. Poole, according to his Lawsuit alleging sexual Harassment and coercion.
Poole told Cooper, she didn’t “see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind.” Even if Kian Cooper gets $25 million out of the charade, he and Ms. Poole may be sipping Pinacolas on a beach in Hawaii for a few years to come.

Since Cooper filed his Lawsuit, Ms. Poole has left the company. Cooper is working there as a clinical supervisor with Saint Joseph’s.  

Cooper is still working while waiting for his Blackbeard Queen Anne’s ship to come in.

“I asked her to stop, face to face, numerous times, more than 100 times, and in text messages about 12 to 14 times,” Cooper said.

Cooper claims to justify their relationship, Poole reminded Cooper that Michele was once Barack Obama’s boss.

The Lawsuit Details of the Allegations

“Cooper, a single father, alleged that he was coerced into sexual acts multiple times a week in Poole’s office. He claimed Poole threatened to fire him if he tried to stop the encounters, and he felt compelled to comply due to difficulty finding other work after a past drug conviction. The Lawsuit claimed that different staff members were aware of the situation.”

“According to the Lawsuit, Poole made remarks attempting to justify her actions, including comparing relationships to a car needing a “tune-up”. Cooper claimed the stress resulted in medical leaves and a PTSD diagnosis.” 

Denials and Responses

“Poole denied the allegations, stating their relationship was mutual and lasted six months. She claimed Cooper gave her gifts and cards and denied having the power to hire or fire him.”

CIA Operative Rahmanullah Lakanwal Yells “Allahu Akbar” Before Killing National Guardsman Sarah Beckstrom.

CIA Operative Rahmanullah Lakanwal Yells “Allahu Akbar” Before Killing National Guardsman Sarah Beckstrom.

An Afghanistan national CIA operative who shot two National Guardsmen, standing near the Farragut Square Metro Station in Washington, D.C., yelled “Allahu Akbar” and then proceeded to open fire on the Guardsmen. Twenty-nine-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal worked for the CIA for at least ten years in his homeland.

In August 2021, he came to the US during the botched pullout from Afghanistan. Lakanwal has been living in the US for four years.

Last week, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said it was likely Rahmanullah Lakanwal was “radicalized here in this country.”

The “former” CIA operative also shot 24-year-old Army Sergeant Andrew Wolfe.

Lakanwal walked up to Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and shot her in the head without warning. Just before shooting the Guardsmen, Rahmanullah Lakanwal yells Allahu Akbar. Twenty-year-old Sarah Beckstrom would later die from her injury. The incident occurred two blocks away from the White House in Washington, D.C. The Wednesday, November 26, incident, just one day before Thanksgiving, left the nation in shock. The brutal attack serves as a reminder of ongoing security challenges in the nation’s capital.

The attack was carried out by Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan CIA operative with a complex background, including former Afghan military service and ties to the CIA-backed’ Zero Unit’.

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, Rahmanullah Lakanwal walked up and attacked them. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a former Afghan soldier turned CIA-backed’ Zero Unit’ gang member, was also injured during the incident.

Beckstrom n Wolfe

Army Sergeant Andrew Wolfe and Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, both Guardsmen, were shot by a madman on November 26.

CIA Backed Zero Unit Equals Zero Sum.

The CIA-backed’ Zero Unit’ has a controversial reputation, often accused of engaging in operations that result in civilian casualties and questionable tactics, raising concerns about their role in national security and civilian safety.

Friends of Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the alleged shooter of National Guardsmen Beckstrom and Wolfe, worked for the CIA for 9 years. They said the CIA recruited him at age 16. Lakanwal trained and worked with the best of the best. As a member of the CIA-backed Zero Unit, he would raid the homes of civilians and kill them.

The Zero Unit has been accused by multiple sources, including investigative reports from The Intercept, of killing over 50 civilians across a series of raids, raising questions about their operations and accountability. Their reputation for zeroing out Afghan civilians and taking zero hostages highlights ongoing concerns about their methods and transparency.

TSA Plans New $18 Fee for Travelers Without Real ID.

TSA Plans New $18 Fee for Travelers Without Real ID.

Travelers who reach the airport security line without an acceptable form of identification may soon have to pay for the mistake. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has proposed an $18 charge for passengers who opt into a new identity-verification system for travelers without a Real ID or other federally approved documents.

In a notice published in the Federal Register, TSA outlined plans for an “alternative to today’s manual verification process, instead of relying on officers to ask biographical questions and coordinate with the National Transportation Vetting Center.

The agency intends to launch a more automated system to complete the additional identity verification steps. Under the proposal, travelers would provide personal details and potentially biometric data, such as a facial recognition scan, to confirm their identity.

The fee would grant passengers access to the system for 10 days, which TSA notes could cover both outbound and return flights. According to the agency, the charge would help offset development costs and support a broader rollout at airports nationwide.

TSA Agents Taking A Break

The upcoming change is tied to the Real ID requirements that took effect in May 2025. Travelers must now show a compliant driver’s license, passport, Global Entry card, or another federally recognized ID to enter the security checkpoint. While TSA’s current fallback process is still available, it can be lengthy.
It may involve additional screening, including pat-downs and more extensive bag searches, with no assurance that a traveler will be cleared to continue.

The proposed updated system aims to speed things up, but it still won’t guarantee entry. Suppose TSA cannot confirm a traveler’s identity through the new method. In that case, the passenger may still be denied access, and the $18 fee will not be refunded. The program is optional, but those who decline it and lack Real ID-compliant identification will not be permitted through security.

TSA has not set a launch date, but the earliest rollout is estimated for January 2026. For now, the agency’s advice is simple: bring your Real ID to the airport to avoid delays, extra screening, and potential fees.

A Decorative Florida License Plate Could Get You Jailed.

A Decorative Florida License Plate Could Get You Jailed.

Florida’s new law (HB 253), “covering” license plates, could lead to fines or jail, making residents feel concerned about fairness and safety. The law updates existing regulations, emphasizing the importance of staying informed about legal changes that affect everyday life.

Governor Ron DeSantis signed the law, making it legal on May 19, 2025. The law became effective on October 01, 2025. Florida HB 253 Bill was sponsored and introduced by Representatives Douglas Michael Bankson and Johanna López, District: 43 — Democrat.

The more unnecessary laws lawmakers create, the more people they criminalize, which should motivate residents to stay aware of legal changes and advocate for sensible legislation. The Devil always finds work for the idle hands of part-time legislators. How does such a law make the lives of their constituency any better?

Miami-Dade Police Major Aaron Campbell Arrested For Decorative License Plate Frame Allegedly Covering a Part of his License Plate.

When purchasing a new car, dealerships often attach decorative license plate frames, which could violate HB 253. To avoid fines or jail time, vehicle owners should ensure their plates meet state requirements and remove any non-compliant frames or decorations before driving.

Under HB 523, the decorative frame from dealerships could result in a $500 fine, court costs, or jail time.

A car dealer must not have contributed politically to someone’s political campaign. The ”new” enhanced law also jeopardizes the manufacturers of such devices (license plate frames).

“License Plate Obscuring Device.”

Florida Statutes is amended, and subsection (1) of that section is republished to read: It is unlawful to alter motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, or temporary license plates, or to obscure license plates.

A person may not alter the original appearance of a vehicle registration certificate, license plate, temporary license plate, or validation sticker.

The law makes clear the parameters set forth by the enhanced law. It goes on to state: whether by mutilation, alteration, defacement, or change of color or in any other manner.

A person may not apply or attach a substance, reflective matter, illuminated device, spray, coating, covering, or other material onto or around any license plate. “The term around includes decorative license plate frames. Such an act could cost a motorist $500 and or jail time. Now, who do you think a “discretionary” cop is most likely to take to jail for such a violation? An African American or a White person? The Jeopardy music is playing in the background. Who is?

Penalties:

Second-degree misdemeanor: Purchasing or possessing such a device.

First-degree misdemeanor: Manufacturing, selling, or distributing such a device.

Second-degree misdemeanor (e.g., knowingly altering or obscuring a license plate or possessing a license plate obscuring device):

Punishable by up to 60 days in jail, as per Florida Statutes. 775.082.

Miami-Dade Police Major Aaron Campbell Profiled.

Stopping motorists based on a license plate issue is not a new law-enforcement tactic. Such a tactic is like the “Broken Tail Light” ruse.
For many, it’s easy to recall the obscure license plate incident involving Miami-Dade Police Major Aaron Campbell. On April 05, 1997, a Black off-duty police officer named Aaron Campbell got profiled and pulled over by a White Orange County deputy.

Photo Airport
Driver License

On April 09, 1997, Police Major Aaron Campbell was driving north on the FL Turnpike in his new Ford Explorer toward a vacation home he was building in Orlando. Orlando Deputy Corporal Richard Mankewich spotted Campbell, at which time he pulled Campbell over. Corporal Mankewich told Campbell why he stopped him. Campbell told Mankewich, “I follow the law.” He requested to speak with a supervisor.

Mankewich explained to Campbell that he would cite Campbell. Campbell became belligerent and snatched his driver’s license back from Mankewich. As two other deputies arrived at the location, one tried a sneak attack on Campbell from the back. Campbell repelled the sneak attack. The Major had a flashback to the days of slavery and slave patrols. He began running like Kunta Kinte.

Eventually, Mankewich and his crew captured Aaron (Kunta) Campbell. Why are you running, Black man? Don’tDon’t run.
This incident is all about a cop profiling a Black motorist. Major Campbell did explain to Mankewich and his crew at the time of the incident. The basis for the traffic stop was the type of vehicle he was driving in the Orlando area. That was a fact at the time.

Corporal Richard Mankewich falsified his police report by claiming he pulled over Campbell for changing lanes without signaling. During the traffic stop, Campbell contended that Mankewich profiled him and that he did, in fact, use his indicator before changing lanes.

Corporal Richard Mankewich, a Colorful Hothead Character.

Corporal Richard Mankewich falsified his police report by claiming he pulled over Campbell for changing lanes without signaling. During the traffic stop, Campbell contended that Mankewich profiled him and that he did, in fact, use his indicator before changing lanes.

How do you know that Mankewich falsified his police report?

In May 1998, Campbell’s license plate case went to trial. 1998 was the same year Representative Johanna Lopez came to America from Puerto Rico. She is a clueless bimbo. She’s just farting in the wind and passing time on the people’s dime. She doesn’t understand America.

Legal Outcome

Traffic Stop Legality: The Circuit Judge presiding over the trial found the initial traffic stop illegal.

Verdict: In April 1998, a jury acquitted Campbell of two felony counts of battery on a law enforcement officer.

Conviction and Sentencing: The jury found him guilty of two misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest without violence. He was sentenced to one year of probation and ordered to perform community service, avoiding jail time because he had no prior criminal record.

 

Internal Consequences: The Miami-Dade Police Department suspended Campbell without pay after the arrest and conducted an internal investigation. A state board later pursued a complaint against his law enforcement license, questioning his “moral character””.

What Has Corporal Promoted to Sergeant been Up to?

Mankewich’s career with the Sheriff’s Office began in 1991. He has been praised as one of the department’s most aggressive cops.

 

A female deputy, Mankewich, filed a sexual-harassment complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Tuesday, alleging that the veteran deputy repeatedly directed sexually suggestive remarks at her.

One time when she asked for vacation time, she said Mankewich told her, “Tighten your clothes, and you’ll get it.”

After detective Webb-Edwards had changed her hair color, Mankewich allegedly said, “A woman who changes her hair color has issues at home.”

Mankewich, “The Most Aggressive Cop” Murdered a Black Man.

Earlier this year, 2004, Mankewich was cleared in the death of 26-year-old Marvin Williams. Marvin Williams was unarmed when Mankewich chased him on foot. Mankewich shot Williams in the Parramore neighborhood. He thought he was a murder suspect. Mankewich murdered the wrong man. As usual, they exonerated him. His exoneration came after the shooting enraged members of the black community.

Two National Guard troops were shot near the White House, raising concerns about safety and security in the area.…

Breaking news: As of 3:30 p.m., reports confirm that two National Guard troops have been shot near the White House. The Secret Service agents are actively investigating the incident.

According to Newsmax’s Mike Carter, Washington, D.C., police officers are also actively investigating the incident. The quick response helps foster transparency and reassures the public that authorities are handling the situation thoroughly.

Less than an hour after the shooting of the National Guardsmen in Washington, DC, President Trump posted an update on Truth Social. He informed the public that the Guardsmen are critically wounded and vowed that the shooter will face severe consequences. There have been reports that the culprit walked up to the guardsmen and shot at least one of them in the head.

Meanwhile, the government of West Virginia, Patrick James Morrisey, gave an update on the tragic shooting of the West Virginia guardsmen. Gov. Morrisey advised that the victims of the shooting were deceased. They soon corrected Morrissey’s statement because it was unclear about the victims’ status.
Other National Guardsmen near the location of the shooting rushed to aid their fellow troops. They shot the alleged perpetrator, then tackled him to the ground. EMS transported the guardsmen, along with the alleged shooter, to area hospitals. The investigation continues, with emphasis on efforts to restore safety and order.

U.S. Rep. Sheila McCormick Accused of Taking $5 Million in COVID Money.

U.S. Rep. Sheila McCormick Accused of Taking $5 Million in COVID Money.

The DOJ has formally accused U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Florida, of receiving a $5 million overpayment, marking a significant development in the case that highlights serious allegations against the two-term congresswoman. On Wednesday, a Miami federal grand jury indicted her, underscoring the gravity of the charges.

(As of mid-2025, the U.S. government has charged thousands of individuals with stealing COVID-19 relief funds across various programs, illustrating the widespread nature of these allegations and the scale of the issue.) 

The U.S. Department of Justice also accused Rep. McCormick of “laundering the proceeds and using the money to support her 2021 congressional campaign.” The federal government alleges that McCormick, 46, along with her brother Edwin Cherfilus, 51, conspired to steal FEMA funds. (You Are Magnet and I am Steel).

The congresswoman’s family health care company received a FEMA-funded COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract in 2021. The same year, the government overpaid the company $5 million in FEMA funds, which the DOJ alleges McCormick diverted into her campaign amid a tight Congressional race for the FL District 20 seat.

DOJ claims they orchestrated a conspiracy to steal that $5 million, routing it through multiple accounts to hide its source. The indictment further alleges that Cherfilus-McCormick, her brother Edwin Cherfilus, and Nadege Leblanc, of Miramar, arranged additional contributions using straw donors, revealing a complex scheme to conceal the funds’ origin.

The conspirators then “funneled other monies from the FEMA-funded Covid-19 contract to friends and relatives. The friends and relatives then donated to the campaign as if using their own money.”

The DOJ also claims that Cherfilus-McCormick, 2021 tax preparer David K. Spencer, 41, of Davie, joined her in the conspiracy. Tax preparer David K. Spencer conspired to file a false federal tax return.

Oh boy, the “Tax Man Cometh.” “According to the indictment, they falsely claimed political spending and other personal expenses as business deductions and inflated charitable contributions to reduce her tax obligations.”

If convicted on all charges, U.S. Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick faces a maximum sentence of up to 53 years in prison. 

The charges brought against Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick are just allegations. She hasn’t been found guilty of any allegations.
