More than 30 states have provided their residents’ personal information to Donald Trump’s voter fraud commission, which is charged with digging up proof that millions of Americans voted illegally in last year’s presidential election and robbed the billionaire real-estate developer of the popular vote.
O.J. Simpson has provided the blueprint on how to get out of prison early when facing a long sentence. It’s really simple: Keep your nose clean. Considering all the controversy the Juice got himself into prior to his 2008 conviction for strong-armed robbery, that was no easy task. The Hall…
With Miami Dolphins training camp just a few days away, it’s time for South Florida to pay attention to a new-and-improved team doing big things in Davie. On July 27, the Dolphins officially start a season with more promise than any in recent memory. The Fins are…
When it comes to supporting inner-city youth programs, the Miami Heat is nowhere to be found. Team owner Mickey Arison and president Pat Riley should be ashamed. The organization has won three world championships with some of the greatest African-American players in the history of hoops.
This July 4, there’s nothing to feel patriotic about, not when President Donald Trump is acting like a fool on Twitter, threatening journalists, and posting memes of himself to rile up his racist base. The commander in crazy has taken the fun out of Independence Day. He’s not the only…
Over the weekend, the Miami Heat’s pursuit of Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward got personal — not for the Heat or Hayward, but for the cities involved in the chase for his services. Hayward reportedly has the Boston Celtics, Utah Jazz, and Miami Heat at the top of his list. One of those cities is definitely not like the other two.
“Miamians are savages.” I’ll never forget those words, uttered to me by a Hialeah Metrorail station janitor. How a city handles public transit says a lot about its culture. I’m referring to not only the agency that runs transit — surely, that can’t be easy — but also the riders themselves.
Udonis Haslem is the last Miami Heat Mohican. He is the proverbial cockroach that survived a nuclear blast. If the Miami Heat’s roster over the past decade were a Hunger Games movie, the odds have definitely remained ever in U.D.’s favor.
The Democratic Party is in desperate need of a major overhaul. Nationally, the party lost the crucial special election for Georgia’s Sixth Congressional District earlier this week. And here in Florida, the state’s Democratic Party chairman, Stephen Bittel, badly alienated black Democratic lawmakers by calling them “childish,” sparking accusations of racism.
In the spring of 2013, during a time Miami Beach city leaders proposed to bulldoze the Fillmore to make way for chic condos, Lauren “Lolo” Reskin, the owner of Sweat Records, blogged about what the suggested demolition meant to her.
University of Miami defensive end Chad Thomas has the talent and skills to be a number one pick in next year’s NFL draft. That’s if he doesn’t sign a multimillion-dollar recording deal. Thomas, a Liberty City native, has become one of Miami’s most sought-after music producers under the name Major…
Did you hear LeBron James claim he has never played for a superteam? But he has. We were all there. We were all witnesses. For his comments, LeBron has rightfully caught some side-eye, as well as a hearty chuckle from Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, who joked…
Dion Waiters went out of his way to make sure everyone knew that Miami is a different kind of franchise and that he owes a ton of credit to the organization for taking him from a player that surprisingly couldn’t find a deal last offseason to one that is highly coveted in this year’s free-agency period. The Heat makes players money. It’s what they do. It’s who they are. Sometimes the Heat pays those overachieving players to stay here, but sometimes the team looks for the next reclamation project instead.
As another Memorial Day Weekend in Miami Beach ended in bloodshed, city leaders keep struggling with how to deal with black people. This time around, Commissioner Michael Grieco is trying to score brownie points with Miami Beach voters for his mayoral run by proposing the type of prohibition African Americans…
Though Billy Corben claims to be a good judge of bad characters, he has Keon Hardemon all wrong. The Miami documentary filmmaker recently attacked the Miami City Commission chairman for selling out the black community. Corben used alternative facts only Donald Trump would be proud of.
It’s only May, and already yet another Miami Marlins season is circling the toilet bowl. In the grand scheme of things, this is neither surprising nor all that troublesome. Few people in Miami are losing sleep over the Marlins’ nightly debacles. And those who do care have seen worse and in an odd way have come to embrace the fact that this is who they are — fans of an irrelevant baseball team counting down the days until the season is over.
Give Marco Rubio this: His mathematics are sound. The U.S. population is about 321 million people, which means the 23 million human beings set to lose access to basic health insurance under the GOP’s Obamacare repeal plan are, indeed, only about 7 percent of all Americans.
A South Florida superstar is at the center of today’s biggest and most tragic news story. A suicide bomber struck an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, last night, killing 22 and injuring more than 50 others.
Real Miami Heat fans miss Chris Bosh. A lot. More than someone should miss a professional athlete. Sometimes they watch YouTube videos just to get a fix of Bosh draining jumpers in a Heat uniform.
The appointment of former FBI director Robert Mueller as the special prosecutor overseeing the investigation into Donald Trump’s campaign ties to Russia dooms the president. Just look at the last time a big-time lawyer was appointed to investigate a commander-in-chief.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho has quite a life story. The son of a janitor, he grew up in Portugal in a one-room apartment with no running water or electricity. Yet he became the only one of six kids to graduate from high school. He then came to…
The narrative surrounding the Miami Dolphins has changed. Around this time last year, the Fins were the butt of everyone’s jokes. They were an annual disappointment. Fans were lucky to even be disappointed, because that meant that at some point, the team had at least tricked you into expecting something from it. For years, Miami sat by and watched other NFL fans open presents, while they got nothing.
