Florida House OKs repealing gun-age law

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on March 27, 2025. Posted in Crime and Public Safety, Florida News, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News, Parkland school shooting, Politics.

TALLAHASSEE — In an issue rooted in the 2018 mass shooting at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the Florida House on Wednesday approved repealing a law that prevents people under age 21 from buying rifles and other long guns. The Republican-controlled House voted 78-34 to pass the bill (HB 759), though it remains unclear whether the Senate will take up the issue. The House passed repeal bills in 2023 and 2024, but they did not get through the Senate. As in past years, this year’s bill drew heavy — and, at times, emotional — debate. Then-Gov. Rick Scott and the Legislature in...

Winderman’s view: Heat dig in defensively, show Warriors the bite, bark still there

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Tuesday night’s 112-86 victory over the Golden State Warriors: – This was a reminder. – No, not of a certain forward who once played here. – Fortunately, we appear to be over the Jimmy Butler overkill. – Instead it was a reminder of what the Heat can be defensively at their locked-in best. – We’ve seen it over the years before, the Jeremy Lin singlemindedness. – When the Heat decide a specific player and his team will face 48 minutes of torment. – This was another of those nights. – Granted, the results likely would have been far...

Adebayo, Heat roll to 112-86 rout, as Warriors, Butler go bust

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on March 26, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — Erik Spoelstra began the night by insisting the night had to be about his team, not the sideshow of a former disgruntled player being back in town. So the Miami Heat made it about both. Combining stifling defense with stout 3-point shooting, the Heat further distanced themselves from the 10-game losing streak that was snapped Sunday, with a second consecutive victory. The fact that the 112-86 decision Tuesday night at Kaseya Center came over the Golden State Warriors and Jimmy Butler made it all the more satisfying. “I mean the energy in the building was great,” Spoelstra said. “If...

Jimmy Butler’s return to Miami draws mix of cheers, boos from crowd

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on March 26, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — Heat coach Erik Spoelstra cracked a joke, asking if his pregame press conference Tuesday night was full of media members because the Heat were on a one-game winning streak. No, it was not because Miami snapped its 10-game skid. It was for the awkward reunion between Spoelstra’s team and estranged superstar Jimmy Butler, who the Heat dealt to the visiting Golden State Warriors after a highly publicized dispute between Butler and the front office, which suspended Butler three times before trading him. “Obviously, there’s a great storyline for everybody out there,” Spoelstra said....

DeSantis says Florida is ‘returning’ unspent federal money to show DOGE support

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on March 25, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News, Politics.

TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Ron DeSantis says he recently returned nearly $1 billion in federal funds, a move he claimed showcased Florida’s leadership role in federal “DOGE efforts.” But the money in question was either turned down previously or never requested. “For years, Florida has been trying to return federal funds to the federal government due to the ideological strings attached by the Biden Administration—but they couldn’t even figure out how to accept it,” DeSantis posted on social media late Friday, after meeting with Elon Musk in Washington DC. In one day, he wrote, “we got this done.”...

Winderman’s view: With Wiggins’ emergence, Heat winners in more than just a game

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 122-105 victory over the Charlotte Hornets: – There were times after the Feb. 6 trade of Jimmy Butler to the Warriors that the question was whether the Heat got anything tangible in return. – Now, as Golden State and Butler arrive at Kaseya Center for Tuesday night’s game, the Heat have a definitive answer. – Two nights after scoring 30 in the loss to the Rockets, Andrew Wiggins again was filling it up. – This time reaching 30 with 4:54 to play in the third period. – And not stopping there, on the way to 42. – Suddenly it...

Wiggins’ 42 points help Heat snap 10-game slide in 122-105 victory over Hornets, with Butler, Warriors up next

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on March 24, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — Finally, an exhale. For the first time since March 3, the Miami Heat tasted success, with Sunday night’s 122-105 victory over the Charlotte Hornets at Kaseya Center. The 10-game losing streak is over. The seven-game home losing streak is over. For at least one night, misery put on hold. Yes, it came against an opponent that now stands 18-53, but also against an opponent that less than two weeks ago won on the Heat’s court. So the Heat take it and move on to a Tuesday night game with far more juice, with Jimmy Butler returning in the colors of the Golden State Warriors. “I mentioned...
