But police and Gauteng Province Premier Panyaza Lesufi later said the number of deaths had been confirmed as...

FORT LAUDERDALE — Independence Day fireworks filled the sky around DRV PNK Stadium Tuesday night, but they could’ve used some more pink and black to celebrate Josef Martinez’s jaw-dropping goal. The second half substitute scored the equalizer in the 90th minute on a bicycle kick to force an Inter Miami 2-2 draw against the Columbus Crew. It may have been the goal of his career, which is saying something for someone who is now tied for ninth all-time in career MLS goals. Inter Miami interim coach Javier Morales said at Monday’s training that he was unsure if he’d bench Martinez in favor of...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on July 4, 2023. Posted in Florida News, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News.

BIG PINE KEY — Partying never gets old in the Florida Keys — especially for a milestone birthday like No. 200. The Florida Keys celebrated its bicentennial Monday along the Gulf of Mexico with a Key lime pie more than 13 feet in diameter — which organizers intend to certify as a world record. The festivities marked the anniversary of the Florida Territorial Legislature’s establishment of Monroe County on July 3, 1823 and celebrated its history. The county contains all of the Keys and a portion of Everglades National Park. During the Civil War, Key West remained in Union hands as a base for...

Legitimacy of ‘customer’ in Supreme Court gay rights case raises ethical, legal flags

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on July 4, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, National News, News.

By ALANNA DURKIN RICHER and COLLEEN SLEVIN (Associated Press) A Christian graphic artist who the Supreme Court said can refuse to make wedding websites for gay couples pointed during her lawsuit to a request from a man named “Stewart” and his husband-to-be. The twist? Stewart says it never happened. The revelation has raised questions about how Lorie Smith’s case was allowed to proceed all the way to the nation’s highest court with such an apparent misrepresentation and whether the state of Colorado, which lost the case last week, has any legal recourse. It has served as another distraction...

NEW YORK — The Miami Marlins will have a second representative at the All-Star Game in Seattle after slugger Jorge Soler was added as a reserve on Sunday evening.

Inter Miami draws Austin FC for first point since May 13, though winless skid stretches to eight

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on July 2, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Inter Miami, Latest Headlines, Soccer, Sports.

FORT LAUDERDALE — Newly named Inter Miami coach Tata Martino was in the building Saturday night at DRV PNK Stadium. Perhaps it added some extra juice to Inter Miami, but, as he awaits his necessary work documents, he could only watch from a suite as his future club extended its winless streak to eight games. On one hand, the 1-1 draw against Austin FC was Inter Miami’s first point since May 13. But on the other side, it was a disappointing result for an Inter Miami squad — now 5-13-2 and still last in the Eastern Conference — that failed the bury a handful of scoring chances. “I spoke with...
