The Dash Files

I'm going to make this one short today. I told you so!  Just 11 days ago, we here at The Dash Files called B.S. on Miami Mayor Francis Suarez's comical campaign for President. We knew he wasn't for real - we knew he has no qualifications to run a country of 330 million people after serving as the mayor of a small fraction of the Miami metroplex. We told you he was a grifter who didn't actually plan on becoming President; all he wants is to run for President to avoid prosecution for his rampant corruption. We're not even 2 weeks in, and Francis Suarez was recently interviewed on the  The Hugh Hewitt Show, and he couldn't even say who the Uyghurs are.  And I don't mean he took a few seconds to remember. When I say be couldn't remember, I mean it - Hewitt: "Will you be talking about the Uyghurs in your campaign?" Suarez: "The what?" Hewitt: "The Uyghurs." Suarez: "What's a Uyghur?" Hewitt: "Okay, we'll co...

Two days ago, the 2024 Republican field welcomed its newest joke-candidacy, this time from Miami's Republican mayor, Francis Suarez. This man gets a lot of attention from the clamoring-for-moderates mainstream media for being anti-Trump, and even refusing to vote for Ron DeSantis in 2018. He's CNN and the New York Times' wet dream of a "sane conservative." But this guy has no chance at winning the nomination - at least people like Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, and Tim Scott would have a reasonable chance of pulling off a victory if Trump were to DIE tomorrow - but this guy wouldn't even win if his only opponent was Richard Nixon. So why is this clown running? Well...being a moderate Republican does not make you immune from corruption and fraud, and this guy proves that stipulation correct a thousand times over.  Suarez is a nepo-baby - the son of Xavier Suarez, who served as the Mayor of Miami in the '90s, but Suarez Sr. was actually REMOVED as the Mayor of Mia...

  I know you probably didn't click on this blog post to take a quiz, but I have one question for you to briefly ponder - Who said the following? "The American empire has little or no moral authority when it comes to violation of international law and the overthrow of national sovereignty, as in Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia."  "For example, years ago, Gorbachev was promised that there would not be one inch added to the NATO countries, and now 14 are added. If in fact there's missiles in Poland and Romania, and no missiles in Canada and Mexico, then we have to be very honest in...recognizing that the United States has no moral status given its history, given its record of doing similar things." By only the virtue of pure quotation, if you answered "Cornel West," you're correct. And if you answered, "Vladimir Putin," you are, by virtue of translation,  also correct.  In fact, here is an excerpt from Putin's televised spee...

Ex-husband of Kimberly Guilfoyle and narcissistic mirror-hog  Gavin Newsom *really* wants to be President someday. With his only virtues being that he's still a thousand times better than electing a Republican, and that he's on the correct side of social issues such as scrapping the death penalty, protecting abortion, and legalizing weed, Newsom spends more of his time clamoring for media attention than doing his job to fix the problems of his own state.  When one political party has complete and unwavering control of a state government, one of two things can usually happen: The first is the most ideal: The party in power no longer has to worry about picking political fights on petty issues to gain that 1-2% of the vote which will swing the next election in their favor. Working with the other party on the issues of the day no longer risks giving the other side a fantastic 30-second ad in the next election cycle. Instead, the party in power comes to the realization th...
