Democrat Andy Thomson won the election for mayor of Boca Raton, Florida, by the narrowest of margins. After a machine recount, Thomson defeated Republican Mike Liebelson by one vote. Thomson will be Boca Raton’s first Democrat mayor in over 30 years. NEWS: Democrat Andy Thomson has won the Boca Raton mayoral race by just ONE vote. Thomson — 7,568 Liebelson — 7,567 With 100% of votes in, Thomson becomes the first Democratic mayor of Boca Raton in over 30 years. One vote decided the election. pic.twitter.com/c1A4UrnEgC — MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) March 13, 2026 Florida Politics explained further: Boca Raton City Council member Andy Thomson has been declared the winner of the city’s razor-thin mayoral race after a recount confirmed he defeated political newcomer Mike Liebelson by only five votes. Thomson finished with 7,572 votes to Liebelson’s 7,567. The Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections (SOE) confirmed the outcome of Tuesday’s election after a machine recount and a subsequent manual review of ballots. Ahead of the recount’s conclusion, Liebelson signaled the possibility of legal action, raising concerns in a letter to the SOE about vote-by-mail ballots added after polls closed and warning that a formal challenge could follow if the final results confirm his loss. Florida Politics contacted Thomson, who succeeds outgoing Mayor Scott Singer, and Liebelson for comment and will update this report. The ultra-close race drew attention throughout the week as successive vote counts narrowed the margin between the candidates. Initial results released Tuesday night showed Thomson leading by just six votes. Because Florida law requires an automatic machine recount when the margin is less than or equal to 0.5% of the vote, election officials began that process Friday morning. After the machine recount, the margin tightened further, leaving Thomson ahead by only a single vote. “The Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections has completed the recount for the Mayor’s race. Following that process, Andy Thomson has been confirmed as Boca Raton’s newly elected Mayor,” the City of Boca Raton stated. “The City’s new Mayor and Council Members will be sworn in at an Organizational Meeting on Tuesday, March 31, 2026,” it added.

He spoke of a “dump” of 109 mail-in ballots late in the election and wondered aloud if that might have “skewed” the result to Thomson. “The people of Boca deserve to have honest elections, and we had a situation where 109 vote-by-mail ballots were dumped in,” said Liebelson, who said he would “sleep on it” when asked if he was planning a legal challenge. In response to Liebelson’s comments, Link said: “I believe that our election process is very open, transparent, fair and accurate.” Thomson’s victory came after he emerged as a skeptic of the One Boca project that called for giving a developer a 99-year-lease to 7.8 acres near the Brightline station downtown for a boutique hotel, a grocery store and 947 residences. The city said the money it received in return would pay for a new City Hall, a community center and a police substation. Voters soundly rejected a ballot question that would have cleared the way for One Boca, with 75% opposing it. They also voted in three new City Council members who questioned the project and who called on the city to grow at a slower pace, and rejected a $175 million bond issue to build a new public-safety complex. Thomson, a 43-year-old attorney, and Liebelson, a 70-year-old retired chemical engineer, ran for mayor on slow-growth platforms against Deputy Mayor Fran Nachlas, who supported One Boca. She finished third in the balloting, about 3,600 votes behind Thomson and Liebelson. Thomson said he wanted the city to move away from public-private partnerships like it had with the Terra-Frisbee group for projects on the scale of One Boca. “We don’t need to be giving away land for a developer to build on it,” Thomson said shortly after the elections office certified the vote totals. “We can rebuild our facilities ourselves.” Watch additional coverage below:

Tucker Carlson’s latest video uploaded on X has conservatives divided. On Saturday evening, Carlson declared that the CIA had been investigating him and reading his text messages. Some Conservatives claimed Tucker’s video signals he has violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act for having contact with Russian and Iranian assets, whereas others claimed he was targeted for his anti-war stance. Take a look: Tucker didn't just text Iran before the war. He went to the White House and urged Trump to not go to war with Iran. Tucker Carlson was acting as a foreign agent for Iran.

Miller shared his blunt assessment of Carlson and the situation he’s in on Sunday, one day after Carlson claimed the Justice Department would soon charge him for being an unregistered foreign agent; Carlson said he was being targeted for “talking to people in Iran before the war,” which he said the CIA found out by spying on his text messages. The congressmen said that if Carlson is telling the truth — and if he really committed “treason” — he has to pay the price. “Everyone has always known Tucker is in love with himself and happy to sell falsehoods for attention,” Miller posted on X. “The Left excels at this, when Tucker fully joined them it was just sad.” Take a look: Everyone has always known Tucker is in love with himself and happy to sell falsehoods for attention.

In 2015-2020, it seemed like there was a case of someone being beaten, fired, or harassed for wearing a MAGA hat almost every other week, but since then, the attacks on MAGA-wearing patriots have diminished. That, however, isn’t true in Pennsylvania for one bus driver. A bus driver in Pennsylvania was forced to leave his job after being asked to remove his MAGA hat while driving kids to school. Local 21 News broke down the full story: A Littlestown bus driver claims his freedom of speech was violated after being told not to wear his “Make America Great Again” hat while driving kids to school. Dave Bonhoff, a retired Baltimore County police officer, said he decided to step away from serving the Littlestown Area School District in response. “If that wasn’t a condition of my employment, I’d be back to work tomorrow. I miss the kids. Those kids and I had a great relationship,” he said. That is—until one of his students complained about his MAGA hat, prompting a call from his boss at Krise Transportation the morning of February 18. “She contacts me and says, ‘Hey, listen, I’m going to buy you a hat, an American flag hat, because the school district has deemed that they don’t want you to wear that ” Make America Great Again ” hat,” Bonhoff said. The driver, also known as Mr. Dave from Bus #73, chose his beliefs over his bus and walked away from the job just before the afternoon drop-off. “There’s nothing in this hat that says anything about partisanship,” he said. “I think that saying that this hat is political is absurd. It’s patriotic.” When CBS 21’s Maxine Rose asked him what he would say to people who argue that the hat is synonymous with a political figure, President Donald Trump, Bonhoff said they would be wrong. “I would say that making America great is what we should all strive to be,” he said. “Anybody who doesn’t want America to prosper, I take issue with them.” Bonhoff also said the phrase had been used by Republican and Democratic presidents during their time in office, including Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Here’s an interview featuring Bonhoff: A Pennsylvania school bus driver resigned after the school prohibited him from wearing a MAGA hat. pic.twitter.com/uXpq4zwCFb — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) March 15, 2026 CBS Austin reported that Bonhoff has received support from Republican Senator Doug Mastriano Senator Doug Mastriano (R-Pa.) has released a statement addressing a former school bus driver in Littlestown, Pennsylvania who left his job after he claimed he was given an ultimatum for wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat on his bus. The treatment of Littlestown bus driver Dave Bonhoff should outrage every Pennsylvanian who believes in liberty, fairness and the constitutional freedoms that define our nation. Mastriano said in a statement Friday that political correctness has become a “tool of intimidation.” Mr. Bonhoff is a retired police officer who continued serving his community by safely transporting children to school. Yet he was effectively forced out of his job because he wore a hat that read ‘Make America Great Again.’ Whether someone agrees with that message is completely irrelevant. In America, citizens do not lose their First Amendment rights simply because someone else claims to be offended. What happened here is not about ‘sensitivity’ or ‘respect.’ It is about the suffocating culture of political correctness that is spreading through our institutions — a culture that demands conformity, punishes dissent and attempts to silence anyone who refuses to bow to its ideology. Political correctness has become a tool of intimidation. It is used to shame, threaten and drive ordinary Americans out of their jobs and public life simply for expressing views that do not align with the approved narrative. That is not tolerance. That is coercion.

You don’t see this every day. A mysterious fireball was captured by a Ring doorbell camera in Ohio. The fireball reportedly made a sonic boom, according to some residents in Pickerington, Ohio. Watch the fireball here: The New York Post had the following details on the fireball: A man’s doorbell camera captured a fireball flashing across the sky Saturday night. The eerie object is believed to be a meteor that moved so fast it sparked a sonic boom as it fell to earth. A doorbell cam at Kristofer Maki’s home in Pickerington, Ohio, captured a flash of light in the sky. “Caught a meteor last night on the Ubiquiti cam,” Pickerington, Ohio, resident Kristopher Maki posted on Facebook. “We were laying in bed winding down for the evening and heard a loud sonic boom. “If you were in Pickerington and heart it around 10:35, this was it. Turn up the volume on this one.” The video clip shows the meteor flashing in the distance before it disappears in a flash of light behind homes in the suburban neighborhood, followed by a loud, rumbling noise. The sighting was one of several that lit up social media outside Columbus, WSYX-TV News reported. The American Meteor Society has not listed the incident yet, the outlet said. This isn’t the first time this year a fireball has been spotted in Ohio: Per WLWT: Multiple reports came in overnight of a fireball meteor lighting up skies across Ohio. Viewers sent in videos from doorbell cameras in Highland and Clinton counties, showing the fireball streak across the night sky. According to the American Meteor Society, several reports have come in for meteor sightings across Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky. The Ohio reports range from Cincinnati to Columbus to Xenia.

I sure didn’t think I’d ever live to see the day the MSM turned on the Democrats, and no I don’t think it will be permanent, but for one day at least the MSM seems to have turned on the Democrats over the Government shutdown.

This morning, the CEOs of the nation’s major airlines and cargo carriers wrote a letter to Congress calling on them to end the shutdown, talking about the importance of American security in the airways. Is it responsible for Democrats to hold up DHS funding with the threat of terror attacks looming during this conflict? Adam Schiff:Well, Kristen, as you know, we offered vote after vote, resolution after resolution — even as recently as this week — to reopen those agencies and fund them, and the Republicans voted it down.
