Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President-elect JD Vance says people responsible for the violence during the Capitol riot “obviously” should not be pardoned, as President-elect Donald Trump is promising to use his clemency power on behalf of many of those who tried on Jan. 6, 2021, to overturn the results of the election that Trump lost. Vance insisted in an interview on “Fox News Sunday” that the pardon question is “very simple,” saying those who “protested peacefully” should be pardoned and “if you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn’t be pardoned.” He later said...

No. 8 Florida heads to Arkansas to face familiar foe John Calipari in new surroundings

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 11, 2025. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

GAINESVILLE — Beating John Calipari on the road last season was a massive step for Florida coach Todd Golden and his program. A win now against Coach Cal away from Gainesville could signal a natural progression for Golden’s surging Gators. Calipari’s surprising offseason move from Kentucky to Arkansas makes the SEC’s winningest coach an easier mark than with the Wildcats, who won the 2015 national title and a dozen conference crowns — six each during the regular season and conference tournament — while he was there. Florida backup guard Denzel Aberdeen had a season-high 16 points during the...

The lawsuits were filed by victims’ family members and were consolidated in circuit court. Summary judgment would have ended the...

For 30 minutes Wednesday night, UCF basketball looked like a team suffering from whiplash. Three days removed from an embarrassing 51-point home loss to Kansas on Sunday, the Knights looked out of sorts. But a surge in the final 10 minutes helped them surge past visiting Colorado, 75-74. Dallan Coleman’s free throw, which capped the scoring with 35 seconds remaining, helped to lift UCF (11-3, 2-1 Big 12) to the win. It’s the second consecutive win over the Buffaloes for the Knights, who beat CU 79-74 in the National Invitation Tournament on March 15, 2017. UCF guard Keyshawn Hall (middle)...

A violent crash between a Delray Beach Fire Rescue ladder truck and a Brightline train prompted an investigation into the status of firefighters’ driver’s licenses and has led to growing tension among city officials about transparency. Fire Chief Ronald Martin has been criticized by his own employees following his decision to release the names of four people currently on paid administrative leave due to the Dec. 28 crash, which the fire department union blasted as the “optics and appearances” of transparency. But multiple elected officials made it clear at Tuesday night’s commission meeting...
