DAVIE COLD CASE MURDER SUSPECT IDENTITFIED

10/29/2021

Almost 38 years after Marilyn Decker was murdered, investigators have identified her suspected killer through a combination of advanced DNA analysis of hair samples and genetic genealogy, according to a Tuesday statement released by the Davie Police.

The suspect, Donald Lawless, was ultimately linked to the crime using technology that wasn’t available at the time of the killing. Decker, who was 28 at the time of her death, was one of many women in Davie whose murder has gone unsolved for decades.

Lawless died in 1995 and will not face justice.

Davie police department was assisted in its investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Astrea Forensics in California, and the Vidocq Society in Philadelphia.

GOV’T SHUTDOWN TO HALT BENEFITS FOR THOUSANDS OF BROWARD RESIDENTS

10/27/2025

Americans enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will not see their regularly scheduled funds next month if the federal government shutdown stretches into next month, says the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF).

“You may receive notices about your eligible November benefit amount, but you will not receive any November benefits deposited to your EBT card during this time,” reads an announcement posted to the DCF website, although October benefits will continue to be distributed until the 31st.

Food banks, community groups and other charities are already experiencing a rise in demand as families scramble to compensate for potential losses.

SNAP was started in 1964 as the federal Food Stamp Program, one of many social welfare reforms under the umbrella of President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. It is funded by the US Department of Agriculture.

MIRAMAR CONTRACTOR UNDER SCRUTINY BY CONSERTIVE NEWS SITE

10/23/2025

Online news outlet Florida’s Voice (FV) published an article Monday claiming “questions are being raised about a recent contractor hired by the City of Miramar for his connections to organizations with extreme anti-Israel views,” and “lack of academic credentials,” although it remains unclear who might be raising such questions other than FV founder and CEO Brendon Leslie. The contractor at issue is Michael Ewall of the Energy Justice Network (EJN), a grassroots organization which advocates the “complete phase-out of nuclear power, fossil fuels, large hydroelectric dams and ‘biomass’… within the next 20 years.” Ewall was principal author of the July 2025 whitepaper, “Correcting the Record: Scientific Findings on Trash Incinerator Health Impacts,” which the City of Miramar commissioned to assess the health risks of close residential proximity to trash incinerators.

According to the article, an FV “investigation” unearthed multiple hyperlinks on the organization’s webpage directing site traffic to “extreme organizations and published viewpoints.” The links include a series of 9/11 truther activists groups and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) website. CAIR is a legally operating 501(c)(3) nonprofit involved in civil rights advocacy and has never been designated as extremist by the US government, despite attempts to do so by GOP lawmakers.

The FV also found a deleted section of the EJN website captured by the Wayback Machine which aggregated links to “organizations that support the BDS movement and label Israel an apartheid state.”

Ewall’s Linkedin page indicates he graduated from the University of the District of Columbia School of Law in 2011, 12 years after he founded the EJN. Some may find Ewall’s resume to be indicative of dedicated focus to a cause. The FV says it is bereft of scholarship and employment qualifications, and that “contractors hired for similar work usually have years of experience with multiple, well-known organizations or academic experience to validate their expertise.” The article also suspects Ewall’s whitepaper may not contain “credible science,” yet makes no attempt to justify this suspicion other than its vague appeal to authority.

POMPANO PROTESTORS RALLY AGAINST ICE

11/03/2025

Dozens of protesters gathered in Pompano Beach this past weekend to vocalize their opposition to gestapo-style ICE raids and squalid conditions in nearby immigration detention centers.

One demonstrator, Brenda Escobar, plead for her husband’s release—he’s been detained since 2021 for driving without a license— for the sake of his newborn baby and family.

The event was part of the nationwide “Disappeared in America Weekend of Action,” a social media-driven campaign demanding transparency, accountability, and reform across the immigration system.

Participants included immigrant advocacy organizations and religious leaders who urged improvements to detention conditions and a swift end to harsh enforcement tactics.
