Not too scary

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:38:41 GMT

We have some weather changes on the way, for Halloween and beyond. These won’t be anything “too frightful” but rather keep our weather interesting for the rest of the week. The Halloween holiday will be a hot one across south Florida. We’ll remain on the sultry side of an approaching front with temperature highs getting close to 90-degrees on Tuesday afternoon. It’s worth noting that Miami had a high of 89º on Monday (so we’ve been seeing temperatures build higher). It will also feel muggy ahead of the boundary, but that won’t stick around too much longer. By Wednesday morning, a weakening cold front will push south and provide some relief. A big cooling event for us? No, not by a long shot. Temperatures are forecast to fall about 5 to 7-degrees both for daytime and nighttime readings. What you’ll notice more than anything, though, will be the wind surge following the boundary. Winds will increase Wednesday with gusty condit...

Trump lashes out at judge, potential witness after gag order

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:38:41 GMT

A D.C. based federal judge has reinstated a gag order against former President Donald Trump which the 45th president was quick to blast as blatantly unconstitutional.U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan, late Sunday, ordered Trump not to attack federal prosecutors, court staff and potential witnesses involved in the legal proceedings over his alleged efforts to interfere with the 2020 election.It’s fair to say the real-estate mogul was not pleased by the order.“The Obama appointed Federal Judge in D.C, a TRUE TRUMP HATER, is incapable of giving me a fair trial. Her Hatred of President DONALD J. TRUMP is so great that she has been diagnosed with a major, and incurable, case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME,” the former president said Monday via his Truth Social platform.Trump was indicted by a grand jury on four charges after an investigation by Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team allegedly showed he was at the center of efforts to subvert the will of the voters following his defeat by...

‘Slap in the face:’ Boston veterans still fuming at City Council over budget cut

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:38:41 GMT

Two city councilors are trying to repair the damage caused by their colleagues’ vote to cut nearly $1 million from the veterans’ services budget, a move that was vetoed by the mayor but still has Boston veterans fuming months later.Council President Ed Flynn and Councilor-at-Large Erin Murphy filed a resolution ahead of the body’s Wednesday meeting, to commemorate Veterans Day. The measure “honoring all those who served our country” is aimed at helping to mend a relationship that remains strained by last June’s budget vote.Flynn said residents, veterans and military families across the city and country were “shocked and extremely disappointed” at the “disrespect” shown by many members of the City Council, who voted to cut $900,000 from a budget that broadly supports low-income veterans and their families.“The sacred oath that we have made to veterans has been negatively impacted by the vote of the City Council to cut $1 million,” Flynn, a U.S. Navy veteran, told the Herald. “But I a...

‘Antisemitism has no place at Harvard’: College creates advisory board to tackle antisemitism in wake of anti-Israel letter

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:38:41 GMT

Harvard’s president has vowed that she’s committed to tackling antisemitism on campus, telling Jewish students that she created an advisory board to combat hate following the student groups’ anti-Israel letter and anti-Jewish incidents on campus.Harvard President Claudine Gay has assembled a group of advisors to help eradicate antisemitism from the campus community, she recently told hundreds of Jewish students, parents, staff, alumni and faculty at Harvard Hillel.This step from Gay comes in the wake of the bombshell student group letter that blamed Israel for Hamas’ terrorist attacks earlier this month. Gay had told the campus community that she wouldn’t discipline students for their views on Israel.The divided campus has been embroiled in controversy for weeks, while Jewish students have reported being threatened and targeted.“I want to acknowledge the profound toll this has taken, especially on our Jewish students, faculty, and staff,” Ga...

Zach Pelzar, Weston repeat as Div. 3 state golf champions

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:38:41 GMT

STERLING – One stroke is all that prevented Weston senior Zach Pelzar from repeating as individual winner in the rain-soaked Div. 3 golf state championships at Sterling National Country Club on Monday, but it’s also the difference his Wildcats used to repeat as team champions.Pelzar gutted out a four-over 75 through brutal weather conditions on an already target golf course, leading Weston to a 322 score that barely edged runner-up St. John Paul II (323) for a second straight state title. That included breaking out of a spiral a few holes into the back nine, rattling off as good of a performance as almost any in the tournament over the final six holes.The only player he couldn’t recover past was the Lions’ Jack Carstensen, whose three-over 74 won the individual state title. But Pelzar was ecstatic about what the team got instead.“The individual title I honestly couldn’t care less about right now, I’m just super happy for the guys,” he said. “Super pumped for everybody … that’s put i...

Robbins: Academia is OK with mass slaughter of Jews

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:38:41 GMT

As of this past weekend, Israel’s Institute of Forensic Medicine reported that, of the 1,400 Israelis slaughtered on Oct. 7 by Hamas gunmen shouting “God is great!,” 400 bodies still could not be identified. That is because all that is left of them are fragments, if that, once part of the bodies of 400 different human beings. And that, in turn, is because the 2,500 Hamas “militants” wielding automatic rifles built to shred flesh, methodically blew as many of those 1,400 souls to pieces as they could, tying families together and then burning them alive, decapitating and dismembering people and then continuing the process after their victims stopped breathing. Recordings recovered after the massacre showed them rejoicing, one calling his parents to brag about how many Jews he had killed. His father blessed him, saying “God protect you.”So, what the Israelis continue to find are body parts, the humans with which those parts were once associated blown up or burned beyond recognition, su...
