“FPL will get what they deserve, and it will be worse than 9/11,” Sayoc said. When the representative on the phone said he should not be making threats like that, Sayoc said he doesn’t make threats; he makes promises.
Social media posts show that Sayoc, whose grandmother’s last name was Altieri and went by Cesar Altieri in his online profiles, was a big Trump supporter who loathed the Clintons and George Soros. Videos on one of Sayoc’s Facebook profiles show him at Trump rallies and posing with Michael the Black Man.
Friday, federal officers arrested a man outside an AutoZone store in Plantation in connection with several pipe bombs that were sent to several prominent Democrats, including former President Barack Obama and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Pipe bombs have been delivered to critics of President Trump across the United States in the last few days. So far, 11 have turned up addressed to the homes or offices of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Robert De Niro, Hillary Clinton, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, U.S. Senator…
The Dolphins officially managed to piss away their promising 3-0 start, turning their first seven games, instead, into a very Dolphins 4-3.
Over the summer, the New York state attorney general whacked President Donald Trump with a massive lawsuit for misusing funds from his charity, the Donald J. Trump Foundation. Among the allegations was a charge that Trump used $10,000 of foundation money to purchase a portrait of himself at a 2014 a children’s charity auction at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach. Internet sleuths later tracked down the painting hanging at the Trump National Doral Miami golf resort.
Startling new footage shows Verne walking into the middle of the bar from the righ-thand side, speaking briefly with another man, then, for no discernible reason, walking up to another man he was not talking to, then choking him and slamming the back of the man’s head against a railing multiple times. Verne then places the man in a chokehold and appears to say something to the man with his face just inches away from the man he is choking. Then, bystanders intervene and Verne runs away.
Ryan Tannehill has had 82 games to prove himself the right man for the job. He’s been asked to drop back and throw passes for the Miami Dolphins nearly 3,000 times. He’s seen general managers, head coaches, hundreds of players, and even the stadium he plays in and the logo…
Florida is one of three states that permanently strips you of the right to vote if you’re convicted of a felony. But if you’ve served your sentence, should you be barred from the ballot box for the rest of your life? If you made a mistake or an error in judgment and paid for it, should you forfeit your say in what happens in your city or state or country forever? The answer is no. Which is why you should vote yes on Amendment 4.
On Tuesday, three City of Miami Police officers were arrested on federal drug charges. The trio are accused of working as armed escorts for drug traffickers. At a press conference yesterday, U.S. Attorney Ariana Fajardo Orshan said the three had received tens of thousands of dollars in compensation. Kelvin Harris,…
We’re now more than a week into the NBA season, and Jimmy Butler still plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves. That was not expected. Butler was supposed to be in Miami by now, or at least anywhere but Minnesota, after he requested a trade a month ago. Just a couple of…
This past Sunday, the New York Times published an explosive report outlining the Trump administration’s plans to create a new definition of sex. Under the proposal, gender would be limited to either male or female and defined as permanent from birth. According to the Times, the Department of Health and Human Services has asked four federal agencies, including the Department of Labor, to adopt the narrow definition.
In 2014, Florida lawmakers reversed their stance on mandatory minimum sentences for opioid offenses, but that means little for the thousands of Floridians like Powell who were sentenced before the law changed. If Amendment 11 passes, changes the Florida Legislature makes to criminal statutes would be retroactive, meaning a person who received a harsh mandatory minimum sentence when lawmakers were cracking down on things like opioid use would have a chance to get their sentence retroactively reduced. The impact on Florida’s prison population — the third largest in the nation — could be huge.
The Florida Commission on Ethics today released a trove of documents that darkens the cloud that has hung over Andrew Gillum’s gubernatorial campaign for months. They show an undercover FBI agent gave the Tallahassee mayor tickets to see the blockbuster Broadway show Hamilton during a 2016 trip to New York City.
In the seven years since Coral Gables began installing automatic license-plate readers, resident Raul Mas Canosa estimates the city has captured images of his car “thousands of times.” It’s a reasonable guess: By the end of the year, the City Beautiful is on track to scan more than 30 million license plates despite having a population of only 50,000.
Rick Scott took a page from an old Miami playbook Monday when he issued an ad in Spanish that contradicts what he is saying and doing in English. It is designed to bolster the Florida governor’s campaign to unseat incumbent Bill Nelson in the race for the U.S. Senate.
Florida has endured three horrific mass shootings in less than three years: Fifty were killed in June 2016 at Pulse nightclub, another five at the Fort Lauderdale airport in January 2017, and 17 more at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February of this year. Yet despite all the…
At first, the Dolphins trade of Jarvis Landry to the Cleveland Browns seemed iffy. Sending away a wide receiver who set reception records in his first four seasons in exchange for a middle- and late-round pick didn’t seem like the smartest move. But consider the cash…
Florida might not seem like a natural setting for bone-chilling horror. Gothic mansions on dark hillsides are tough to come by in the Sunshine State. Dracula would wilt in ten seconds flat in the tropical sun, and Michael Myers would probably require hospitalization for heatstroke before he could knock anyone…
Lew has received not only a promotion from deputy chief medical examiner to director of Miami-Dade’s Medical Examiner Department, but also an award and even a pay bump. In March 2017, the year Rundle decided not to press charges, Lew was given Miami-Dade’s In the Company of Women Award for being an “Outstanding Woman in Government.”
For years, Miami-based attorney Eric Waraftig helped bankroll a QVC marketing director’s lavish lifestyle by embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars and using inside information to make deals with competitors — all so he could pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars in kickbacks.
Early voting begins today, and the City of Miami Beach wants us all to vote for another general obligation bond — a loan proposed by elected officials that uses funds for various capital improvement projects. It’s voted on by residents and paid for, over time, by raising property taxes.
