Spending more than six hours on a Saturday morning email sparring with the looniest “candidate” ever to run in North Miami Beach was not on this blogger’s bingo card today. But I was having so much fun responding to her insane accusatory emails, I just couldn’t help myself.
In a chain of 46 back-and-forth emails, the carpetbagger decided to poke this bear by sending an email at 7:26 am to Commissioner Fortuna Smukler and myself.
You can read her entire insane email rant here >>> LINDA JOSEPH INSANE EMAIL RANT 10-17-26.
Of course, we couldn’t resist highlighting the best ones for a blog.
And by “best ones,” we mean Linda’s most racist and reality-challenged thoughts that are now PUBLIC RECORDS permanently stored in the archives of the City of North Miami Beach’s server.
In case you were looking for some pure comedic entertainment today, you’re in the right place.
Pour yourself a drink, settle in, and enjoy!
I was minding my own business this morning and checking my email when I saw this adorable little message in my inbox:
Apparently, Linda was a tad miffed that Commissioner Smukler sent to me those two “essays” that we reported on yesterday, after we proved they were deep fakes.
Just like Linda herself.
Armed with a steaming hot mug of perfectly brewed, aromatic dark coffee, I rubbed my hands together in extreme delight as I prepared to respond to her stupidity by trying to educate her on the concept of PUBLIC RECORDS.
Yes, I know I was punching down.
But I was in just the right mood to send her this perfectly snarky email.
As expected, that sent Linda Joseph on an uncontrollable, foaming at the mouth rage, which I have to admit was a guilty pleasure to behold.
She immediately sent back an email to try walking back her insistence that the “essays” were original, while trying to chastise Commissioner Smukler for her “crime” of disseminating a PUBLIC RECORD, while threatening a lawsuit.
This blogger immediately cut and paste her own email and threw it back in her face to showcase her inherent stupidity. We responded:
After sending me and Fortuna an unsolicited, harassing email, and eliciting scathing responses from yours truly, Linda tried to play the victim by sending another email:
Of course, I had to remind her exactly who initiated this latest round of Insane Email Rants by Linda, and responded:
The real dramedy began when NMB resident (and fellow gadfly) Keith Myers joined in the fun and began a string of back and forth emails that are truly popcorn-worthy.
The best part is that Linda Joseph actually believes that calling every single person who disagrees with her a “racist” is a great “campaign” strategy.
Here is the hilarious email chain.
Watch how she responds by furiously dashing off email after email as she becomes increasingly unhinged.
Keith decided to egg Linda on even more by bringing Channel 10 star reporter, Glenna Milberg into the email chain.
And, of course, at that point I just had to weigh in.
When Linda wrote that she has a “right to run,” I just had to respond with …
After all, is there anyone out there who can take this woman seriously?
Nevertheless, she continued.
At this point, I had to chime in to remind this lunatic that she was the one who started digging the hole she was getting swallowed up into.
Meanwhile, Linda started a completely separate email chain, and decided to attack former Commissioner Barbara Kramer by provoking this insane email exchange:
To which Barbara Kramer responded:
Undeterred, Linda continued her racist rant.
There was a lot more back and forth between carpetbagger Linda Joseph and actual residents of North Miami Beach, all while she accused everyone of being “racist” for the audacity of having an opinion.
Linda then falsely accused Commissioner Smukler by telling her that she “put the police on the email chain” and “invoke[d] the media.”
I immediately responded, making sure that both Keith and I received proper credit for our own accomplishments.
Of course, Linda had to respond by clutching her Race Card pearls.
To which this blogger responded for the last time.
When Linda couldn’t get a rise out of me, she exploded with a string of accusations against “racist” North Miami Beach residents.
One thing is totally apparent …
NORTH MIAMI BEACH CARPETBAGGER “CANDIDATE” LINDA JOSEPH THINKS ALL OF YOU ARE RACIST!
If only this lunatic carpetbagger would just go back to her home in Biscayne Gardens and leave all the normal people alone all would be well in the city.
North Miami beach residents deserve better!

PLEASE VOTE RESPONSIBLY!

The fact that she called EVERYONE including the media and the one organization that seems to have endorsed her part of a racist hate group is probably the dumbest campaign move one could make. She showed her true colors, hopefully they withdraw their endorsements because if they don’t, they will go down on record goes supporting a racist wack job.
I just heard some great news.
Well, great for normal people, but bad for the carpetbagger.
Apparently, Linda Joseph spewed one too many racist rants on the social media site Nextdoor, and her antics got her banned for life.
Don’t worry. I have all the screenshots of her idiocy for future use, if necessary.
For posterity, of course.
I can’t imagine how LJ would be able to write or speak at all without the help of AI. The way things were written, when there was obviously NO Help from AI.
This is someone that definitely doesn’t have the means to truly be a qualified candidate. This is a token pick, someone that will do as they are told by a corrupt mayor. Not color, nor religion is the reason people are shining a light on someone that isn’t fit for office. It’s a big job, an important job and needs someone that knows all the ins and outs of NMB. Someone that has ALL the communities needs at heart. Washington Park, as well as Eastern Shores. All people and places.
Judging from her constant reference to black people, black women, and Haitians, the voters of NMB have got to see where her allegiance lies. She has already called everyone in NMB who is not “of color” a racist. She called an entire group of residents a “hate group.”
But more importantly, she doesn’t even know that a public record is publicly available to the public. And then she demanded that Fortuna Smukler delete her emails from the public records, which Fortuna couldn’t do even if she were inclined to break the law.
That should be a huge red flag to every single resident of North Miami Beach. Your city deserves much better than Linda Joseph and her ilk.
Linda Joseph. Let me clarify this for you. Disagreeing with you does not make someone a racist. Questioning your statements, challenging your claims, or asking for evidence does not make someone racist either. What concerns me is the tendency you have of accusing people of racism whenever they disagree with you, or challenge what you said. That is not an argument, and doesn’t answer the question being raised.
People such Barbara Kramer, Keith Myer, and Stephanie Kienzle, have the right to express their opinions and questions a candidate credibility without being subject to accusations of racism simple because they disagree with you. Linda Joseph, You’re making statements that are inaccurate and misleading, you should address those statements with facts and evidence. But as expected, your reaction is to attack the character or motive of the people asking questions.
Linda, being of Haitian heritage is not the issue. Being Haitian, Black, or a woman does not place anyone above scrutiny, nor does it mean that one candidate automatically represents every black resident of NMB.
Our community is diverse, and its residents deserve representation that includes everyone, regardless of their background, or national origin. Racism is a serious accusation, and should not be used as a political weapon to silence criticism. Candidates should be judged by their conduct, honesty and qualifications. You Linda, are you just a big question MARK.????? North Miami Beach deserves better than personal attacks and divisive rhetoric. We deserve facts and transparency.
Linda Joseph, calling me a racist does not make me one. And changing my words does not make your version of the story true. I spoke about my friends and the diversity of the people in my life. My point was that my friends come in all colors. You took what I said and changed it into a statement about my best friend being black. That is not what I said, and you do not have a right to twist my words to fit your narrative. I do not choose my friends based on the color of their skin. I value people for who they are, their character, and honesty, and how they treat others. My friendships are not a political talking point, and I will not allow anyone to use them to question my character.
What concerns me is that whenever someone challenges you, or questions your statements, or disagree with you, the response seems to be an accusation of racism. Disagreement is not racism, criticism is not racism, and asking questions is not racism. You’re running for public office, Linda Joseph. That means you must be prepared to answer questions, accept criticism, and be held accountable for words and actions, just like any other candidate.
Linda Joseph, your personal attacks are only designed to distract from legitimate questions about your credibility.
Maria, you spelled it out so succinctly and so perfectly. Linda Joseph sees everything in terms of skin color and not character. She appears to believe that she gets a pass from having to answer questions simply because she’s black. I don’t know why people like her think this is acceptable behavior in politics, or even in a civilized society, but her attitude toward people who don’t “look like her” is reprehensible. There is no place in politics or especially in North Miami Beach, for a politician who continuously tries to divide people by color and ethnicity. I certainly hope the voters of NMB send her a message loud and clear that her virulent racism has no place in their city and certainly not on the dais!
