Sure, yesterday was a big day in elections. Donald Trump buddy and crook Benjamin Netanyahu won reelection in Israel, Raúl Valdés-Fauli edged out Jeannett Slesnick for mayor in Coral Gables, and there was a statistically bizarre tie for the final council seat in Miami Shores that could mean an April 30…

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra made it clear the team is going to do its damnedest to talk Udonis Haslem into playing one more season.

It’s time to admit it. Donald Trump will win again in 2020. The only way the 45th president doesn’t get reelected is if he is removed from office. That’s unlikely because Republicans still control the U.S. Senate and there are not enough votes to convict Trump. It doesn’t…

For too many years, coaches at Miami-Dade Public Schools have put in long hours working for peanuts.
