Gov. Ron DeSantis just said what everyone else has been thinking: some folks in United States Congress trade stocks like “Warren Buffett on steroids.” And no, it’s not because they suddenly discovered genius investing strategies.

DeSantis is calling for real transparency — forcing candidates to say upfront whether they’ll trade individual stocks while writing the laws that move markets. Radical concept, right? Play the game, but don’t rig the table.

This isn’t Left vs. Right. It’s insiders vs. everyone else who doesn’t get advance notice before policies drop. If you’re serving the public, you shouldn’t be day-trading your way to a fortune on the side.

Nicolás Maduro stood in a New York courtroom and claimed he was “kidnapped” while pleading NOT GUILTY to narco-terrorism and drug trafficking charges.

Let’s translate that:
When accountability finally shows up, the dictator suddenly plays the victim.

For years, Maduro’s regime crushed dissent, flooded drugs north, and drove millions of Venezuelans to flee. Now he’s shocked—shocked!—that the bill came due.

What do you think, Southwest Florida - is Maduro a victim or a criminal?

Governor Ron DeSantis has taken action to help combat illegals in Florida. Under Operation Tidal Wave, state and federal law enforcement have arrested over 10,000 illegal aliens, many with criminal records.

This isn’t about politics. This is about law and order, public safety, and a state government in lock step with federal efforts to secure our borders.

While liberal critics clutch their pearls and scream “mean”, “racist”, “xenophobe” and other buzzwords - conservative Floridians are asking a simpler question:

👉 Why wasn’t this happening sooner?

Rep. Carlos Gimenez (FL-District 28) isn’t mincing words — and thank goodness for that. He’s defending the capture of Nicolás Maduro, calling him exactly what he is: a narco-terrorist who crushed his own people, fueled drug trafficking, and wrecked an entire nation.

Meanwhile, Democrats are twisting themselves into knots trying to defend the indefensible. Let that sink in. Standing with a brutal dictator over the Venezuelan people — and over basic law and order.

This isn’t left vs. right. It’s right vs. wrong. Freedom vs. tyranny.
And Gimenez is standing on the correct side of history — loudly.

If calling out a dictator offends you, the problem isn’t the truth. It’s you.

On this hour of The Drive with Trey Radel, Trey breaks down tolls and user fees, explaining how they are never truly temporary and often become permanent symbols of government overreach and failure. From roads to infrastructure, Trey lays out why once a toll is created, it never goes away.

New data from Visit Florida shows a sharp drop in Canadian tourists coming to the Sunshine State — and it’s not exactly shocking.

Higher costs. Political noise. Travel headaches.

But here’s the part they don’t want to say out loud: Florida will be just fine.

Americans are still traveling. International visitors are still coming. Our beaches didn’t move, our weather didn’t change, and freedom is still tax-free.

If Canadians want to vacation somewhere else, that’s their call. Florida isn’t closing — we’re just keeping the lights on for people who actually want to be here. 🇺🇸

Since when did Florida Democrats start running cover for a socialist dictator?

Congressman Byron Donalds isn’t mincing words — he’s calling out Florida Democrats for defending Nicolás Maduro, one of the most brutal tyrants in the Western Hemisphere.

Let’s be clear: Maduro starved his people, crushed dissent, and turned Venezuela into a narco-state. And when he finally gets taken down? Some Florida Democrats rush to criticize America instead of the dictator. 🤔

Donalds nailed it: Florida’s Venezuelan community knows exactly what socialism looks like — and they’re watching who stands with freedom and who hides behind excuses.

This shouldn’t be hard. Dictators bad. Freedom good. Apparently, Democrats think that’s controversial now.

From Fort Myers to Cape Coral, Venezuelan families across Southwest Florida reacted with relief, tears, prayers, and quiet celebration after news broke that Nicolás Maduro was captured.

For many here, this isn’t “foreign policy.”
👉 It’s family history.
👉 It’s parents who fled with nothing.
👉 It’s phone calls that stopped coming.
👉 It’s a country stolen by corruption and fear.

Local Venezuelans told WINK News this moment feels surreal — hope mixed with caution. Joy mixed with worry for loved ones still back home. No dancing in the streets… just deep breaths and whispered prayers that this is finally the beginning of the end.

And let’s be clear:
Southwest Florida didn’t cheer because of politics.
They cheered because justice finally knocked.

After years of watching socialism destroy a nation in real time, SWFL understands what freedom is worth — because many here had to escape to find it. 🇺🇸

Sen. Rick Scott is backing a conservative push to cut wasteful spending and END fraud — and honestly, it’s about time someone said the quiet part out loud.

👉 Trillions spent.
👉 Fraud ignored.
👉 Bureaucrats shrugging while taxpayers pay the bill.

Rick Scott is calling for accountability, not excuses. If Washington treated YOUR paycheck the way families do, we wouldn’t be drowning in debt and corruption.

👉 Cut the waste.
👉 Expose the fraud.
👉 Put taxpayers first — again.

Kamala Harris still thinks she’s relevant. Bless her heart.

After Maduro’s grip on Venezuela snapped, President Trump and Senator Rubio are sending a message Havana can’t ignore: the days of coddling communist regimes are OVER.

Cuba’s dictatorship has survived for decades on excuses, oppression, and backroom deals — and suddenly they’re VERY loud about “U.S. aggression.” Funny how that works when the bully realizes the sheriff is back in town.

Tick tock, Havana.

Here’s what we actually know right now about the reported capture of Nicolás Maduro:

👉 Explosions and military activity were confirmed overnight in Caracas, including near key government and military sites.
👉U.S. officials confirmed a targeted operation focused on regime leadership — not civilians.
👉 President Trump publicly stated Maduro and close associates were captured and removed from Venezuela during the operation.
👉 Venezuelan state media went dark or scrambled, a classic sign of leadership disruption.
👉 No public appearances, no denials, no proof of life from Maduro since the announcement. That silence is loud.

Trump reports to FOX News that Maduro and his wife are currently en route to New York.
