Biden brings weakness unto America; Americans depend on Trump for salvation this November.

Trump deserves your vote

In 2016, Democrats denounced Donald Trump and were emphatic that he would get us into war. Trump’s strong leadership, demeanor, words, and military investment resulted in Americans enjoying four years of peace. No one dared test Trump. After Joe Biden's Afghanistan debacle, the U.S. lost respect, wasted hundreds of millions of dollars in military equipment and loss of Bagram Airbase. Biden’s feckless weakness resulted in Russia invading Ukraine, China harassing Taiwan, Iran backing Hamas’ horrendous evil on October 6. Iran is currently sending hundreds of drones and cruise missiles into Israel. Our NATO vow ensures the U.S. will be involved and the probability of U.S. blood being shed. Biden will most assuredly go down in history as the weakest and worst president in our history. Please save your daughters and sons by remembering to vote Trump this November.

Related Cos. renovations will protect the Himmel

Re Former West Palm Mayor Nancy Graham's commentary on Harriet Himmel Theater renovations threatening building's history: The Related Companies shares the vision that West Palm Beach’s iconic structure should remain a focal point. Despite the fact it is not a designated historic landmark, we have never wavered from our commitment to respect the architectural significance of the building and once again make it a vibrant community destination.

Since 2000, Related has made thoughtful investments in West Palm’s public spaces. In 2019, we answered the community’s call for a more welcoming downtown with a $45 million re-imagination of CityPlace. Today, we turn our attention to a full-scale and thoughtful modernization of this important but currently underutilized, building to protect the structure for future generations while enabling it to welcome the public in far greater numbers than it does today. To oversee the renovation, we’ve again partnered with master architecture firm Elkus Manfredi, who proudly worked on the original Master Plan of CityPlace in the late 90’s.

In addition to preserving the heritage of the building and meeting today’s safety codes, Related’s $20 million investment will include much-needed façade repairs, add a dramatic atrium, exterior lighting, new roof and windows, and updated mechanical, electrical, and air conditioning systems. Related’s renovation is guided by the original spirit of the building to host history-making gatherings, rather than just to be a place where people discuss history while watching a building deteriorate. We are proud to share renderings that show what the community can expect from the upcoming renovations.

For democracy's sake, approve aid to Ukraine

No stand-alone aid package for Israel should be passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, It must also include aid for Ukraine. Republicans were all in support for aid for Ukraine until Donald Trump told his MAGA cult members not to support any aid for Ukraine, thus allowing Russia to do what they want in Ukraine. Maybe enough House members will show a little spine and vote to do what is the best interest of democracy. Our allies around the world are beginning to wonder where America stands with its commitments to defend freedom and democracy.
