It is entirely possible to disagree with the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High students behind the #NeverAgain movement and the March for Our Lives without making a total clown out of yourself. Step 1: Don’t spread insane conspiracy theories about the survivors of a massacre. Step 2: Don’t make Nazi comparisons…
BodyRx, an anti-aging clinic that offers testosterone and other hormone treatments, fills an unassuming office on the ground floor of a Coral Gables apartment complex. The lobby is pristine, with gray floors, ornate shelving, and delicate upholstery that wouldn’t seem out of place in a wedding planner’s office. As patients wait to be seen, a TV on the wall plays one testimonial on repeat.
In 2016, the City of Miami sued the owners of several neglected apartment buildings in the West Grove. For years, tenants had lived in squalid conditions, forced to reckon with mold, raw sewage backups, caved-in ceilings, and other code violations that were never fixed. The city hoped to force the landlords to pay to relocate their renters to alternative housing that was affordable and safe.
Ever since Marjory Stoneman Douglas senior David Hogg began pushing for gun control in the wake of the massacre at his high school, he’s been a target for conservatives. An aide to Republican state Rep. Shawn Harrison called Hogg a crisis actor. Laura Ingraham blasted him for “whining” after being rejected…
After the mass shooting that left 17 dead at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, most Florida teachers were horrified by the push from President Donald Trump and GOP legislators to arm teachers. But one vocal Parkland faculty member — science teacher Sean Simpson — said he would be open to packing heat in the classroom.
Stop it. Just stop. LeBron James isn’t returning to the Miami Heat this summer. Don’t believe the hype. Don’t entertain the noise the talking heads on ESPN are yelling at your television screen. Don’t click the articles (other than this one!). Just don’t waste your time. It’s not happening. And…
Polo shirts: timeless fashion statements that say, “I could be headed to a vigorous round of tennis! But probably I’m headed to work and am simply too lazy for a full button-up.” In Miami-Dade, where a laid-back beach attitude mixed with swampy subtropical weather make full suits as practical as Borat speedos, most office workers rarely wear anything dressier than polos.
Miami Gardens Sgt. Javier Romaguera’s credibility has been called into question since at least 2009, when he was first accused of filing a false police report. Over the next several years, his reputation became so tarnished the U.S. Attorney’s Office stopped prosecuting his cases. In April 2015, the feds notified his employer they would no longer even use him as a witness.
There’s been no official announcement, but it sure looks like Donald Trump will travel to Miami this Monday. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records and “sources” speaking to the Miami Herald suggest the president will make a pit stop in the Magic City next week, but so far the White House has been mum on actual details.
Being a Heat fan is so glorious we’ve put together a list of our favorite things about it.
David Horowitz, who runs the hard-core-Islamophobic FrontpageMagazine, organizes what he calls a “Restoration Weekend” every year. Past attendees have included Pamela Geller, Jeff Sessions, Nigel Farage, Laura Ingraham, and a slew of lesser-known Islamophobes and random alt-right cretins.
As the world watched U.S. senators this afternoon grill Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg about how his company handles all the personal data it vacuums up, Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) exposed that he’s either a massive hypocrite when it comes to data security or simply doesn’t understand how computers work.
In August 2016, North Miami Beach Mayor George Vallejo weirdly posted a video on Twitter explaining he was the subject of an investigation by the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office. Without getting into any details, Vallejo tweeted that “the truth will come out when the process is complete.”
Last night, the Miami Marlins played in the Little Havana ballpark that taxpayers are still paying off to the tune of more than $2 billion. No one showed up. The announced attendance of 7,003 was the smallest in a decade for any regular MLB game that wasn’t relocated due to a hurricane or held in a Little League stadium.
When Miami U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo enthusiastically backed the GOP’s tax bill, he conveniently failed to mention the deal would directly benefit his wife’s investment holdings. The Republican Tax Cuts and Jobs Act loosened fees on companies such as Captiol Gains LLC, which is registered to Curbelo’s home address in suburban Kendall…
With fighter jets on its tail, a Cessna nine-seater streaked through the air over Las Marías, a tiny hamlet with unpaved roads and a single airstrip tucked deep in the Honduran jungle. The plane dipped and then came in for a landing. Government troops, who had been alerted not long…
In the past week, South Floridian Ericson Harrell has shared memes claiming that fluoride is dangerous to human beings, that 9/11 might have been orchestrated by the U.S. government, that trusting the government is “a form of mental illness,” and that the Parkland shooting survivors are “paid actors” who helped the feds stage a false-flag attack in February.
Until President Trump repeals our right to do so, New Times will steadfastly remind Floridians that Rick Scott is a bewitched, evil hermit crab who lost his shell and accidentally became Florida’s governor. That’s the only reasonable explanation for Scott’s actions since he took office in 2011. He appears to have…
When a waitress began working at Schnebly Redland’s Winery in June 2016, she says the male employees took notice. At work, two of them would grab and touch her, she claims, describing the sexual acts they wanted to do with her. But when the waitress reported the behavior to management, she says her complaints were ignored.
In December, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Louisiana shackled 92 Somali immigrants into airplane seats, fired the jet off toward their home country in eastern Africa, allegedly beat the men bloody and forced them to relieve themselves in their seats, mysteriously turned the plane around in Senegal, and…
The Trump Organization is, technically, run by Donald Trump’s large adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric. But despite his public statements to the contrary, Trump himself still has an ownership stake in his huge empire of real-estate properties, restaurants that serve nightmarish cocktails, and random buildings with his name slapped onto the sides…
Yesterday North Bay Village’s new city manager, Marlen Martell, called in Police Chief Carlos Noriega and offered him a choice: Either resign or be fired on the spot. Noriega says he was stunned, and not just because he felt he’d significantly improved the village’s force in his two and a half years on the job.
