The Mel K Show host Mel K

We’re living in a time where tried-and-true news is anything but true, and the real news is coming from citizen journalists dedicating their lives to bringing facts, figures, and stats to the masses by building platforms of their own.

After witnessing darkness first hand, Mel K knew she had no option but to take action and speak out, hence the birth of The Mel K show.

Mel K is a devoted lover of truth, facts, history, God, and America. After growing up in a tight-knit family outside of Philadelphia, Mel graduated with honors from New York University with concentrations in journalism and film.

Mel went on to spend 20 years working in film, television, and investigative journalism in Hollywood before moving back to New York City to focus full time on The Mel K Show, where she exposes the truth and explores our hidden history.

The Mel K Show is laser-focused on educating and informing the public about the malevolent, geopolitical forces that are hell-bent on achieving their goal of ending nation-states and self-determination of free peoples for top-down global governance. Through strategic alignments with deceptively named associations and non-governmental organizations, these globalists seek to replace life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness with surveillance, compliance, conformity, and control.


Eric Golub is a nationally known comedian and author who has spoken in all 50 states. He has been a radio guest of Hannity, Dennis Miller and Hugh Hewitt. Eric is known as one of the country’s preeminent politically conservative comedians. Eric has written five books under his The Tygrrrr Express brand. His four politically conservative comedy books are “Ideological Bigotry,” “Ideological Violence,” “Ideological Idiocy,” “Ideological Lunacy.” His religious comedy book is “Jewish Lunacy.” Eric can be found over 300 days a year performing any place that will have him, whether tea party rallies, Republican women’s groups, churches and synagogues, Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs, or yes, even the White House itself. He frequently receives (fatwas) death threats from Islamists, Palestinians, leftists, the National Organization for Women, and Katy Perry supporters.

Talk Show Host Joyce Kaufman

Joyce Kaufman has been a fixture on South Florida radio for over 18 years without interruption. She started in the market on the original WFTL, 1400AM. Joyce has gained a very loyal following over the years, likely because she knows the difference between right and wrong and has no problem telling you.

Joyce considers herself fiercely independent and is not ashamed of putting America first, like real liberals used to and our weak-kneed politicians and some so-called conservatives claim to.

She has been evolving into an outspoken critic of the “new-left” who she believes view America as a failed state populated with a helpless, ignorant people in need of reeducation and government rescue. She is also sick and tired of those in power who are afraid to stand up for our nation’s Judeo-Christian values and the values of those who through their faith seek only to better themselves and their fellow man.

Joyce still finds America to be the greatest country on earth! She not only supports our troops, she reveres them. She’s also a registered Independent so if you’re looking for a partisan cheerleader, call the Miami Heat Dancers.

Passionate, spiritual, yet angry at times, Joyce also knows how to make an audience laugh. But don’t mess with her. She knows some Krav Maga, carries a .357 magnum (she’s a big supporter of the second amendment) and has a BIG mouth.

So if you can think out of the box, refuse to be labeled and want to debate the issues, The Joyce Kaufman Show is for you!

Listen for her show weekdays from 3-4pm on News-Talk 850 WFTL. You can email her at joycekaufman@hubbardradio.com.

Commissioner Sara Baxter and Sid Dinerstein at December Lunch

Please join us on Tuesday December 13th for

County Commissioner Sara Baxter
and

Sid Dinerstein
PLEASE NOTE: Our first meeting in 2023 will be Tuesday, February 28th.

The Red Wave was alive and well in Florida this past election. Not only did the Governor and Cabinet actually win Palm Beach County, but there are now 3 Republican County Commissioners (out of 7) where there had been only one. Congratulations to Commissioners Sara Baxter (CD6) and Marcie Woodward (CD4) who beat the odds.

Sara will tell us how she prevailed in her D+7 district in spite of being considerably outspent and out endorsed by a Democrat favorite.

For the larger perspective on the election just past we will hear from past county chairman Sid Dinerstein.

And to get in the proper mood for the holiday season, we will have a little music from vocalist Bobby Fonseca (Uncle Eddie’s, Eau Palm Beach, Johnny Longboats, …..)

with PBKC President Pat Rooney

Pat Rooney’s perspective as the President of the Palm Beach Kennel Club and also a 6 year Representative in the Florida House is unique.
