  • American Pickers To Film In Florida: Unearthing History One Treasure At A Time

    American Pickers To Film In Florida: Unearthing History One Treasure At A Time October 12, 2023 Share The Sunshine State has always been a hotspot for hidden treasures, and the American Pickers are gearing up to make their triumphant return to Florida in January 2024. Fans of the hit History Channel show are in for a treat as Mike Wolfe and the Pickers Team embark on another thrilling adventure through the state's nooks and crannies in search of historical artifacts and captivating stories. The Art Of Picking For those who may not be familiar with the show, American Pickers is a documentary series that delves into the world of antique picking. It's a captivating journey where the art of discovering, restoring, and repurposing vintage items takes center stage. The Pickers are not just seeking any old trinkets; they are on a mission to find America's most valuable and historically significant antiques. Their quest takes them along the winding back roads of the country, from coast to coast. Along the way, they meet an array of fascinating characters with unique collections that have been accumulated over years, sometimes generations. These collections often consist of quirky, nostalgic, and occasionally bizarre items that tell a story of America's rich past. Rescuing Forgotten Relics One of the central themes of American Pickers is the preservation of history. The Pickers are not merely on a treasure hunt; they are also dedicated to recycling and rescuing forgotten relics. Each episode showcases their determination to give these pieces of history a new lease on life, often revealing the hidden beauty in seemingly ordinary items. While unearthing rusty gold and discovering the unexpected is par for the course, what truly sets American Pickers apart is their passion for the stories behind the items. They believe that every artifact has a tale to tell, and they are eager to listen and share these fascinating narratives with their viewers. Filming Safely In A Post-Pandemic World The ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic has changed the way we approach many aspects of life, including television production. American Pickers takes health and safety seriously and will be following all guidelines and protocols outlined by the state and the CDC to ensure a safe filming experience. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 Pandemic, the American Pickers team remains committed to connecting with collectors in the Florida area. They're eager to hear about the unique items and memorable stories that have been tucked away in local homes and barns, waiting to be discovered. Calling All Treasure Hunters If you or someone you know has a hidden treasure trove and a story to share, this is your chance to be a part of television history. American Pickers is actively seeking leads and invites you to reach out if you have a unique item that might pique their interest. However, please note that they do not pick stores, flea markets, malls, auction businesses, museums, or anything open to the public. As American Pickers makes its way back to Florida, anticipation is building among fans and collectors alike. The show's unique blend of history, nostalgia, and the thrill of the hunt continues to captivate audiences across the nation. With their commitment to preserving the past and unearthing remarkable treasures, Mike Wolfe and the team are poised to bring another season of excitement and wonder to the Sunshine State. So, who knows what hidden gems they'll uncover this time? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: American Pickers is back, and it's bound to be an unforgettable ride through Florida's history and heritage!

Kyle, an amputee (leg), is a 26-year-old male Afghan war Veteran; rugged and attractive but weathered from major injuries and PTSD.

  • Power Without Principle - The Rise Of The Bully Presidency | sun-times

    Power Without Principle - The Rise Of The Bully Presidency By John & Nisha Whitehead Apr 2, 2026 It’s Been 20 Years Since Donald Trump Bragged That, As A Star, He Could Do Anything—Even Assault Women—And Get Away With It. Two decades later, what once sounded like crude bravado has become a governing philosophy: might makes right, power excuses everything, and accountability is for other people—not this president. Despite the Access Hollywood recording—and everything it revealed about his character—Trump was elected to the White House twice. And ever since, he has governed exactly as he promised: as a man who believes he is unaccountable, entitled, and free to act without limits. The same mindset that once bragged about being able to “stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters” has now been scaled up and weaponized through the presidency. With a core MAGA following that seems unwilling to hold him accountable for any wrongdoing, Trump has justifiably earned his nickname as “Teflon Don.” He can be accused of sexually assaulting young girls, and he won’t lose any voters. He can, as Commander-In-Chief, sanction the bombing of a girls’ school in Iran—killing young girls, their mothers and teachers—and he won’t lose any voters. He can torpedo a thriving economy, sending inflation and gas prices soaring, and he won’t lose any voters. He can dismantle a government structure that has been in place for over 200 years, and he won’t lose any voters. He can be a walking—talking—living contradiction of everything Christians claim to stand for, and he won’t lose any voters. He can send Americans servicemen and women to die in wars that the U.S. had no business starting, and he won’t lose any voters. This is the mindset now shaping American policy. Trump’s acts of aggression against other nations—Venezuela. Iran. Greenland. Canada. Now Cuba—are expansions of the same worldview, only this time backed by the full force of the U.S. military and funded by American taxpayers. It is the logic of the schoolyard bully: Take what you want. Dare others to stop you. Punish anyone who resists. Trump wanted Venezuela’s oil, so he used the military to get it—and then bullied the country’s leaders into letting him keep it and its profits. The tactics—swaggering, arrogant, and always prepared to browbeat and mow over anyone and anything in his way—have become all too familiar. Trump wants a new ballroom? Tear down the old one and build another. Trump wants to be in charge of global peace? Seize the U.S. Institute of Peace and rename it. Trump wants to prove his economic prowess? Levy tariffs against any nations who refuse to fall in line. Trump wants to be seen as the one who solved Iran? Launch a preemptive war that kills civilians, destabilizes regions, and threatens the global economy—then turn to the same allies he once disparaged to bail him out. The pattern is unmistakable: Power without restraint. Action without accountability. Force without principle. This is not constitutional governance. This is how a bully operates: rules are for other people, constitutional prohibitions are inconveniences, and the law becomes whatever the one in power says it is. The same egomaniacal traits are evident in how Trump treats dissent. Criticism is not tolerated—it is punished. Media outlets that report unfavorably are threatened with government retaliation. The FCC is weaponized to intimidate broadcasters. “Fake news” is redefined to mean anything that challenges the narrative. Truth, in Trump’s America, is whatever serves power. And those who challenge that power are ridiculed, demeaned, and dehumanized. This is not behavior that should be brushed off as a personality quirk. It is a reflection of character. And when that character is paired with unchecked power, it becomes dangerous. In a constitutional republic, no one is supposed to be above the law. A bully—an autocrat—a dictator—believes he is the law. “Peace through strength” has become the Trump Administration’s rhetorical cover for preemptive violence, military incursions, and acts of aggression that bypass Congress and ignore constitutional limits. Yet abuse of power is not leadership. America deserves better. Because in the end, this is what it comes down to: we have put a schoolyard bully on the world stage, and we are pretending it is leadership. A man who measures strength by how much he can dominate others. A man who confuses cruelty with leadership. A man who believes that power means never having to say no—to himself. The bully doesn’t follow rules—he rewrites or ignores them. And like all bullies, this particular bully thrives not just on aggression, but on silence, fear, and complicity. The bully’s code—might makes right—has replaced the Constitution’s promise of equal justice under law. But history warns us that power without restraint is just another name for a King. This nation was born in defiance of a bully. Two hundred and fifty years ago, a king who believed himself untouchable used force, intimidation, and unchecked power to bend a people to his will. The colonists refused. They stood their ground—not because they were the strongest, but because they believed they were right. They understood something we seem to be forgetting: Power without principle is tyranny. And tyranny, no matter how loud or forceful, is not invincible. The question now is whether we still believe that. Whether we will continue to reward the bully—or finally refuse to be ruled by one. Because the example we tolerate is the example we become. And right now, the lesson we are teaching our children, our country, and the world is this: the bully wins—unless someone finally refuses to play by his rules. We’ve seen this script before. As I’ve warned in Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, the collapse of a country starts the moment we decide that the bully is the hero. We may already be in the final act of that story. But we can still change the ending—if we remember that in America, the law is king, and the citizenry are supposed to be the masters, not the servants.

    Laughs, Logic, And A Little Math: Comedy Night With Matthew Broussard At The Hub Jewish Connection News Jun 4, 2025 On The Evening Of Thursday, June 26th, Prepare To Trade Spreadsheets For Punchlines And Equations For Absurdities, As Comedy Night With Matthew Broussard* Brings Brainy Laughs To The Hub’s Frankel Family Performing Arts Center. Known For His Razor-Sharp Wit, Self-Deprecating Charm, And More Academic References Than Your Average Netflix Special, Broussard Is Not Your Typical Stand-Up Comedian—And That’s Exactly What Makes His Comedy So Magnetic. A former financial analyst turned nationally touring comedian, Matthew Broussard’s career detour reads like the setup to one of his jokes. The son of a Cajun chemist and a Jewish microbiologist, Broussard grew up fluent in sarcasm and science. He graduated with a degree in computational mathematics—a fact he manages to mention onstage more often than you’d expect (or want), and yet, you’ll be glad he did. His comedy is an unexpected fusion of the intellectual and the absurd. One moment he's explaining Greek mythology using pop culture analogies; the next, he’s poking fun at his own modeling headshots. Broussard's style is as likely to make you think as it is to make you laugh, offering a uniquely heady blend of logic and lunacy. He’s the only comic who might leave you Googling a math joke on the ride home—and laughing about it all the same. If you recognize Broussard’s chiseled jawline and boyish grin from your TV screen, it’s probably because you’ve seen him on The Tonight Show, Conan, Comedy Central’s The Half Hour, or verbally duking it out on Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle. He’s also appeared in hit shows like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Mindy Project, and The League. On the big screen, he shared scenes with Billy Crystal and Tiffany Haddish in Here Today. And in the digital space, he’s the creator of Monday Punday, a clever, pun-driven webcomic and puzzle app that’s basically what would happen if a dad joke got an arts degree. The Thursday, June 26th show takes place at The Hub, Pinecrest’s beloved cultural epicenter. Known for its multifaceted offerings, The Hub isn’t just a performing arts venue—it’s also home to an instructional pool, athletic facilities, a youth lounge, and even the cozy Top Nosh Café. Whether you're in it for community, culture, or comedy, The Hub offers it all under one roof. "Matthew Broussard is the perfect blend of smart and silly,” said a concert-goer. “He’s got this incredible way of making complex ideas feel funny and relatable. We’re so excited to have him in the area — it’s going to be a night people talk about for a long time.” The show kicks off at 7:30 p.m., with tickets priced at $28 for premium seating and $18 for standard seats. Refreshingly, there’s no drink minimum—so the only thing you’re obligated to consume is laughter. Light bites and beverages will be available for purchase beginning at 6:30 p.m. before the show. If you’ve ever wondered what it would look like if a mathlete joined the comedy circuit, this is your chance to find out. Broussard doesn’t just tell jokes—he deconstructs them, rebuilds them, and adds a graph. Whether you're a comedy connoisseur or someone who just likes a good pun, you’ll leave the show feeling a little smarter—and a lot more amused. So grab your tickets, grab a friend, and come experience the wonderfully weird, weirdly educational world of Matthew Broussard. Your brain might thank you. Your abs definitely will. Event Info: What: Comedy Night with Matthew Broussard When: Thursday, June 26, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. Where: The Hub: Frankel Family Performing Arts Center 5950 North Kendall Drive, Pinecrest, Florida 33156 Tickets: $28 Premium / $18 Standard (No drink minimum) Buy Tickets: thehubmiami.org For information about the event, contact: thehubmiami.org.
