I wonder if Daniella Levine Cava strives to be a notorious self-hating Jew like Bernie Sanders.
From welcoming unvetted illegal Afghanistan refugees to openly supporting domestic terrorist / Marxist organization, Black Lives Matter, she is well on her way to making that achievement possible.

Mayor Levine-Cava's commitment to violating ethics is nothing new. She ran an illegal Mayoral campaign in 2020, listing herself as a Democratic candidate for a non-partisan position.
BY THE MIAMI HERALD EDITORIAL BOARD
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava took a free trip. A VIP trip to Qatar in the Persian Gulf. A trip with a price tag of $5,000 for the mayor and staffers and other county and Miami officials. A trip paid for by the Qatar government, which, coincidentally, employs the mayor’s former campaign manager and close confidante, Christian Ulvert, who also was on the trip. Ulvert told the Editorial Board there was nothing unique about Levine Cava’s invitation. “Qatar’s U.S. Ambassador has invited many other U.S. mayors to visit his country,” Ulvert said, adding that his connection to the trip is tangential. Fine.
And yes, no taxpayer money is being spent, but what about the invaluable optics? On Monday, Miami Herald government reporter Douglas Hanks wrote an article about her trip. The mayor tweeted that day she was meeting with government officials. Our main concern is that she was boosting Ulvert’s business cred. Here’s the official response from the county: “The purpose of the Mayor’s trip is to interact with Qatari government officials and business leaders with a focus on that nation’s hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup as our county is seeking to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup. “The trip also includes opportunities to explore potential future business or cultural partnerships between Qatar and Miami-Dade County, as well as opportunities to share best practices and collaborate on critical resilience efforts,” her office said.

Two weeks after she withdrew her recommendation for an airport construction supervision contract due to the meddling of a politically connected family and their lobbyists, Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava apparently wants to throw out another perfectly good bid process and start over — after what looks like more political interference.La Alcaldesa doesn’t cite any procedural problems in her memo recommending a rejection of all proposals. Instead, she lists a bunch of feelgood buzzwords that don’t mean a thing in this context. Words like workforce training, diversity (while 50% of the subcontractors are minority owned), and efficiency. Efficiency? With a five-year procurement process?
Miami Herald
"A former lawyer and non-profit executive, Levine Cava, 65, campaigned with unprecedented financial and logistical backing of the Democratic Party and ran as a champion of progressive causes. She defied efforts by Bovo to cast her as a socialist at risk of turning Miami into “another Portland,” and implemented a campaign strategy that rested on sharing a deluge of Democratic votes cast in a majority blue county.
The Democratic Party established a “coordinated campaign” with Levine Cava’s, an effort that provided canvassers and office space across the county. “We’re sharing field staff, we’re sharing digital” said Darnell Roberts, deputy field director for the party-funded coordinated campaign. “It’s never happened on the county level.”
Though she was known as Daniella Levine professionally, she used her married name for the campaign and moved into District 8 to qualify for the race. The county’s Democratic Party helped organize for Levine Cava and gave her money, direct partisan support that was remarkable at the time for a county race. It was a prelude to her 2020 victory, since Bell was a Republican representing a district with a plurality of Democratic voters.
The commission was Levine Cava’s first elected office, but she was a familiar face in County Hall for her work on behalf of the non-profit she formed in 1995 to advocate for low-income residents, Catalyst Miami. Before that, she worked in state government as a child-advocacy lawyer, including running the county’s foster-child program after Hurricane Andrew.
A member of a wealthy New York family, one of Levine Cava’s top donors was her mother, Lois. More than $1 million came from Hillary Clinton’s top donor in 2016, Fort Lauderdale hedge fund mogul Donald Sussman. Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg gave $500,000 to Miami-Dade’s Democratic Party for turnout efforts, a record donation that boosted Levine Cava’s get-out-the-vote resources as well.
“I’ve been doing this since 2004,” said Christian Ulvert, the Levine Cava campaign manager who also ran both of her commission races. “The level of coordination launched by the Democratic Party has never been seen. By tomorrow, we’ll probably have done 250,00 door knocks.”
With party dollars and staff so invested in a non-partisan race, the Levine Cava campaign drew protests from Bovo that she was bringing Washington division into a contest that should be about local issues.“ Joe Biden won’t get your garbage picked up,” Bovo said at one campaign stop.
Annette Taddeo, a Democratic Florida state senator who campaigned with Levine Cava, argued a county candidate aligning with a political party lets voters make more informed choices.
She spoke at a morning event at Levine Cava’s polling place near the mayoral candidate’s Palmetto Bay home. Women dressed in suffragette white stood behind her, a rally organized by Ruth’s List, a fundraising organization that backs Democratic women running for office. Speaking at a lectern with a Biden/Harris placard under her own, Levine Cava noted the cooler temperatures that greeted voters on Election Day."
Travelers will not have a choice when it comes to COVID vaccination & “all crew & port employees” must be vaccinated to work.
Since when & why does an elected Mayor have medical & personal choice authority?
 |
The yearly South Beach Wine & Food Festival is jumping on the bandwagon following the same socialist tyranny by demanding this year's "guests" provide proof of COVID vaccination & a negative COVID test. But that's not enough for the "on-site staff & marshalls" because they will be enforcing strict PPE requirements & social distancing mandates. So if you will comply you can enjoy spending your money while being governed & watched by the Gestapo.

When Miami Beach City Manager Jimmy Morales said early last month that he was leaving the city for greener pastures, he claimed he didn’t have another job option. But Ladra and many others didn’t believe him.
Nobody leaves a $306,000-a-year job with nothing in hand, and it was only a month before the election that would see a fellow Democrat, Daniella Levine Cava, elected mayor. Many political observers whispered that he was ready to join her administration.There was no mention of the employee and labor issues, nor the terrible race relations under his tenure in Miami Beach, nor all the political hatchet jobs he allowed or performed for former Mayor Phil Levine.The Communications Workers of America Local 3178 — which represents close to 400 employees, mostly lifeguards and 911 dispatchers — rented a billboard truck and sent mailers out to residents in 2018 after they were denied the same raises as other city employees for three years.

In the complaint filed by a Miami-Dade County resident, it’s explained that “despite the fact that the Miami Code of Ordinances requires the Mayoral race to be nonpartisan, and state law prohibits candidates running for non-partisan office from stating the candidate’s political party affiliation in a disclaimer or in the body of an advertisement, Ms. Cava is outwardly running as a Democrat in violation of the law.”

As Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez (R) sets his sights to challenge Florida Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D) for her congressional seat, Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava (D) looks to replace Mayor Gimenez, and she has just released a statement regarding President Trump’s recent comments regarding Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro that could come off as being rich in hypocrisy to the Cuban exile community.According to former National Advisor John Bolton’s book that will be released this week, The Room Where it Happened, Bolton accuses Trump of calling Juan Guaido “weak” and Maduro a “strong” leader.
Responding to this accusation, Commissioner Daniella argued that “it’s offensive and simply disgusting that the president of the United States would call a brutal dictator like Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro a ‘strong leader’ and be willing to meet with him.” She added that “this is a slap in the face to our vibrant Venezuelan community and offers the clearest example of how the President’s rhetoric on Venezuela was just that, empty promises with little meaning.”
But the problem that Cava now faces is that while she bashes Trump over possibly meeting with Venezuelan strongman Nicholas Maduro, how does she explain her campaign consultant Christian Ulvert's organizing a 2016 trip to Cuba, and using his close contact in Cuba's foreign ministry to help with logistics during the trip for former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine.Remember, Communist Cuba and the Castro regime propped up and continues supporting Maduro's criminal regime. Maduro is the new Fidel Castro of Latin America.According to the Miami Herald, Levine’s team traveled with Tufts University, a team that "included his political consultant who organized the trip, Democrat Christian Ulvert of Miami, and his media strategist and friend, Republican Adam Goodman of Tampa.It kind of makes sense, considering that at the time, President Barack Obama was trying to "normalize" U.S.-Cuba relations and was actually in Havana at the same time Levine was? Coincidence?With Miami-Dade County having such deep Cuban exile roots, voters could take issue with Cava having close ties with someone that traveled to Cuba to help benefit himself and/or his candidate, and for having a contact within the Cuban government.
Staunch anti-Castro Americans like Esteban Bovo, who is also one of Cava's mayoral opponents, took a not-so-subtle shot at progressive Democrats like Cava when he tweeted that their "new-found concern" over President Donald Trump's "Venezuela policy" and their silence and hypocrisy after vice president Joe Biden actually met with Maduro and laughed it up.
A South Florida elected official and candidate for Miami-Dade mayor is under fire after posting a controversial photo on Twitter of protestors holding a sign with the slogan “ACAB,” which is slang for “All Cops are Bad.” Miami-Dade County Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava posted the image on her twitter account while calling for “greater accountability” between the community and local police force in the wake of nationwide protests, riots and looting after the murder of George Floyd.The South Florida Police Benevolent Association demanded that Cava issue “an immediate apology and retraction of [her] offensive and reprehensible tweet” and describe it as “emblematic of [her] insensitivity” to South Florida’s law enforcement community.
- DLC Has No Respect For Our American Flag (06/14/2020)
Daniella Levine Cava participated in a protest in downtown Miami (6/14/2020) where the American Flag was disrespectfully placed on the ground. Many have lost their lives or were seriously wounded defending the American Flag. How can you call yourself a public leader when you disgrace the symbol of our nation.

Daniella Levine Cava & her husband Dr. Robert Cava have been accused of harassment & stalking of a family including their 8-year-old child. “One point, Dr. Robert Cava and an employee went to their son’s Spanish school on Kendall Drive to take photographs and we’re actually chased out into the parking lot when the administrator started asking them questions. “How the hell did they even know where my son’s Spanish school is?"

Sussman a hedge fund investor and philanthropist who gave her PAC $500K on Aug. 28. There’s more where that came from, however. The liberal Democrat has given millions to Democrat candidates, including more than $22 mil to Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Levine Cava also got $100,000 from her mother Lois Levine in Brooklyn — who already gave more than $175,000 in the first round — and $10,000 from former Pinecrest Mayor Evelyn Greer and her husband Bruce Greer, giving her a total for 10 days of $786,750, her best take ever.
Her campaign account collected another $221,288 from Aug. 18 through the 28th, which is the last day of the recorded transaction on the latest campaign finance reports filed last week. It includes $25,000 from the Miami-Dade Democratic Executive Committee, which has also committed a six-figure TV buy, and $12,500 from the Florida Democratic Party.
While most of the contributions here are for amounts smaller than $100, there are several notable bundles, like:$50,000 from 50 different companies with the same address, all owned by Wynwood’s Godfather Moishe Mana.
$13,000 from real estate developer Sergio Rok.
$10,000 from property investors and booze brothers Wayne Chaplin and Steven Becker, CEO and Executive VP of Souther Glazer’s Wine & Spirits.
$5,000 from Evelyn and Bruce Greer, bringing their total investment to $15K

So you would think she spoke Spanish!Did you assume Daniella Levine Cava was Hispanic? Because that was her intention.In 2014, prior to the County Commission election, Daniella Levine became Daniella Levine Cava. Why, after so many decades of being known legally and professionally as Daniella Levine would she add her husband’s Italian last name?So that the voters would think she spoke Spanish.Yep, we couldn’t make this stuff up.And don’t just take our word for it – Levine Cava admitted it herself to the Miami Herald.

The residents of District 8 deserve to feel safe in their homes. In the last month alone, there has been an almost 20% increase in crimes in the district, including a 400% increase in forcible sex offenses. This is horrifying.
Where was Commissioner Cava this last month? She has the luxury of going home to her house in Coral Gables, in another district, but the residents of District 8 can’t afford to do that. We have to face the terror of not knowing if we might be the next victim of a crime. Staying up all night wondering if our children will be safe in their beds.

It is often said that hindsight is 20/20 and Monday morning quarterbacks never throw an interception. On September 27, 2017, Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava held a tele-town hall to discuss Hurricane Irma response by Miami-Dade County.
During the hour long tele conference, Commissioner Levine Cava was familiar with all of the callers and managed to effectively criticize the County’s response while distancing herself as a County Commissioner from that response. When a concerned caller asked, “what is the timeline for cleanup,” Cava responded that “there is no timeline.” Hardly the response any citizen wants to hear from their elected official.
When a caller identified as Jonathan stated that the County “did a poor job of communication and preparation,” Commissioner Levine Cava agreed that the County had done a poor job and blamed “internal leaks” for the lack of information on critical aspects like shelter openings.
The troubling thing for any resident or voting citizen is that Commissioner Levine Cava spoke as if she were not a County Commissioner and as if she were not involved in the lack of preparedness by Miami-Dade County — she even joined the callers in criticizing the County’s response. If Commissioner Levine Cava has no way to help the citizens, no way to provide actual answers and no way to at least give reassurance that debris will be removed and the County will recover, then what exactly is the point of being a Commissioner?
Commissioner Levine Cava should spend less time criticizing her colleagues, staff and coworkers in the county and more time working with them to address the concerns of citizens and taking personal responsibility for the county’s lacking communication and response.

Remember that time Daniella Cava threw her support behind an effort to build a massive new mall here in the northwestern part of our county? A project that would create thousands of jobs? No? That’s because she didn’t.
Even though the project would cost the county nothing, Cava wouldn’t join other members of the County Commission to support the project. Even though it would create 14,000 permanent jobs for people in this community. Even though Mayor Gimenez urged commissioners to give quick approval so the project could move ahead. That’s right — Cava was the only commissioner to say no to this massive job-creating project.
Triple-Five, the same developer who created the famous Mall of America, still plans to build its massive new project in Miami-Dade, but not with Cava’s help. She complained that there wasn’t enough time to consider her vote. She said that the mall needed to guarantee they would pay their employees more. I guess when you are rich like Daniella Cava, you’re not in much of a hurry to think about jobs.The truth is that while Cava talks a good game about job growth as part of her campaign, she doesn’t back it up when a huge job-creating project is right under her nose. She’s out of touch. But what else would you expect from Daniella Cava, the richest official in the county government?

Well, there she goes again. Not doing her job. Daniella Cava keeps missing votes at County Commission meetings. When you grow up with a hefty trust fund and traveling the world all the time, I guess you aren’t used to going to work and being accountable.
The least you can do, Daniella, is participate in votes. There are people that cast a ballot for Cava and they expect her to do her job.
So I wonder where she is instead of at Commission meetings? In February she was in Arizona. Where was she this month?
Money has allowed you to travel, move to District 8, run a prosperous campaign, and get elected. But money can’t do your job. And if you continue to miss meetings and continue to not do your job, voters will be ready to hire someone who actually CAN do the job.

Daniella Levine Cava doesn’t have much in common with the people in her district. It’s probably because she’s not from around here. In fact, Cava didn’t have any connection to District 8 at all until she magically became a property owner just in time for County Commissioner elections.Cava was born in New York City and grew up all around the world! She has lived in Brazil, Chile, Canada, and multiple places around the U.S. So how did she land in our District 8? And how could she possibly know us and our culture and our history? Spoiler alert: she doesn’t.While we’re taking our kids to school, going to work, and trying to make ends meet, she is probably fueling a jet for her next vacation. It must be nice to just quit your job and move to a place where you want to run for office and control the government.

It’s becoming hard to keep up with Daniella Levine Cava’s trail of deception. Although the evidence speaks for itself, Cava continues to deny her out-of-touch lifestyle.The April 3rd edition of the Miami-Herald referred to this website’s story about Cava’s property at the Country Club section of a wealthy neighborhood of Coral Gables. Rather than admit this was true, Cava tried to deceive readers and made bizarre comments about her love of the outdoors.
Cava stated that she doesn’t belong to a country club and remarked, “I canoe and raft.”Here is the evidence though. Daniella Levine Cava owns a 4,000+ square foot house at 860 Jeronimo Drive in the Country Club Section of a neighborhood in Coral Gables. The current market value is nearly $2,000,000. Cava’s home sits roughly a thousand feet from the country club’s property line. Of course, that’s not the only property Cava owns. She also owns a property at 15360 Southwest 67 Avenue in Palmetto Bay. This is a nearly 6,000 square foot home with a current market value close to $1,000,000. This is the house Cava bought so that she could run for the District 8 commission seat. It must be nice to have an extra million dollars sitting around for when you want to run for public office.Plus, she owns an office building in Palmetto Bay worth $372,000.
