Dan founded Florida Bulldog in 2009 using the name Broward Bulldog. He is an award-winning former investigative reporter for The Miami Herald and Daily Business Review, and one of South Florida’s most experienced reporters. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in political science from the University of Miami.

Dan’s stories about Broward Sheriff Ken Jenne’s private business dealings sparked a federal corruption investigation that landed Jenne in prison in 2007. His stories about hidden and falsified court records in Broward, Miami-Dade and elsewhere in Florida for The Miami Herald in 2006 led to a pair of unanimous Florida Supreme Court decisions in 2007 and 2010 outlawing those practices.

I don’t know if you’re aware or not, but Sarah Van Auken, the daughter of famous “Jersey Girl” Lorie Van Auken, has written a play called “This Is Not About 9/11.” I saw it the first time it was shown in Philadelphia, and I laughed, I got angry, and I cried. There is some “truth telling” in the play. Overall, it’s really a fantastic play and something everybody should see if they can.

It’s only showing in New York City, but she and the rest of her crew could use help promoting it. They are doing their best to make it a monthly affair.

Here is the website for the H.E.A.T. Theater Company, which was started by Sarah and friends.

Here are some promotional videos I made for her play:

Mideast: President Obama should think before bowing to Saudi Arabia's new king in his Tuesday visit. King Salman has a history of funding al-Qaida, and his son has been accused of knowing in advance about the 9/11 attacks.

For this article, I’m going to skip the partnerships between the CIA, Saudi Arabia, and the Pakistani ISI during the Afghanistan/Russia War to support the Mujahideen against the Soviet Union. Instead, I’m going to move past that time, and into the 90’s where a lot of interesting things took place.
