As of Friday, 91% of companies reported earnings for the third quarter with  13.1%  year-over-year growth, which is much stronger than the 7.9% expected. This week will likely be a pivotal week as investors weigh whether a correction is the next step for the market or if last week’s tech selling is just a pause. Much of that will likely come down to if the shutdown ends. Related,  the monthly infl...

Did you know that over the past ten years only 33 House Democrats have voted  in a more bi-partisan  way than Nancy Pelosi? In fact, did you know that Nancy Pelosi co-sponsored 14% of the legislation proposed by Republicans over the past decade that eventually became a law?

Compassion and aid is best provided through non-profits, faith groups and the private sector. Compassion is never successfully provided through government-imposed socialism. It’s insidious.

What I took away from the tariff hearing yesterday is two-fold. First, it’s not a question as to if President Trump will lose his tariff case. It appears likely that he will – the question is the margin of the split. I think a 6-3 ruling against the tariffs is very likely. The other question is the extent to which they rein the executive use of tariff policy. 

To further put this into perspective, consider this. What was the last year that the state of Virigina (which elects a new governor every four years because they can’t serve consecutive terms) elected a governor of the same party as a newly elected president?  The answer is 1969. It hasn’t happened in 56 years...and counting.

It’s an incredible record that’s not showing any signs of reversing. In fact, Zohran Mamdani’s win in New York City is likely to continue to accelerate business migration into our state, aiding many of the other categories as well. It’s not a mistake that as Florida has risen to a top state for education in recent years, success has followed.

It’s common practice for die hard politicos on both sides to root in primary elections for the opposition candidate they feel they can most easily beat. It’s a fool’s errand. The near-term future and the not-so-distant future of the Democrat Party that played on Tuesday

Should the previous political splits from New York hold, based on my projections, the year one influence of the Mamdani Effect in Florida would mean approximately:  +18,000 Republicans  +11,600 NPAs  +9,600 Democrats  +800 Minor Party 

This story will be updated as he issues them. As of November 5th,  he’s signed  212 executive orders compared to 220 signed during the entirety of his first administration and 162 signed by President Biden during his administration. Additionally, President Trump has signed 99 presidential proclamations, 57 presidential memoranda and 9 laws.

If the polls, and for that matter the betting markets, prove to be accurate, it figures to be a good day for progressives in the limited election action taking place across the country. 

Today’s note from a listener in Loxahatchee provides an opportunity to address a few dynamics in play as the debate about property tax relief continues to heat up in advance of the start of January’s legislative session. 

As we’re into the final month of hurricane season, we’ve made it this far with a total of  13 named storms  having formed – two fewer than at the same point a year ago and well below forecasted levels. Additionally, we’re currently on pace to avoid the landfall of a hurricane within the U.S. for the first time  since 2015 .

First it was my dad, later it was Elon Musk and now when you’re so far off the rails that you’ve lost Bill Maher – you know that the Democrat Party belongs in the dust bin of history. It’s now the party of Mamdani – a Marxist-Islamist (which, when you think about it, explains quite well why Obama is so keen).

Special Counsel (Criminal) Jack Smith’s chilling use of his broad prosecutorial powers led to his team issuing 197 subpoenas to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, targeting records and communications related to at least 430 named Republicans and entities effectively creating what Chuck Grassley’s Senate Judiciary committee has identified as “an enemies list”.

Through Friday, 64% of companies reported earnings . The average increase in earnings year-over-year is 10.7%, a number pacing ahead of the 7.9% increase in earnings expected coming into the reporting season. Aside from earnings, and shutdown related news this week , the ADP and BLS jobs numbers will be in focus.

Joe Biden’s sniffing of children’s hair or nibbling on a child’s shoulder . Those are things that are known to be creepy. In fact, just for fun this year, I asked Grok what politician is known to be the creepiest and this is what Grok said: Joe Biden- Why creepy? Long history of overly tactile interactions with women and kids—think sniffing hair, lingering hugs, and whispers that feel way too clos...

The Democrat Party has treated the average person living the average life as though they’re idiots for years. What’s different is that the jig ended with Joe Biden because the average American was reminded of how profound of an impact a terrible president and his terrible party can have on their daily life. People are paying attention, and they’re generally, aside from Mamdani voters in New York C...
