By MICHAEL R. SISAK and JENNIFER PELTZ (Associated Press) NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump posted a $175 million bond on Monday in his New York civil fraud case, halting collection of the more than $454 million he owes and preventing the state from seizing his assets to satisfy the debt while he appeals, according to a court filing. A New York appellate court had given the former president 10 days to put up the money after a panel of judges agreed last month to slash the amount needed to stop the clock on enforcement. The bond Trump is posting with the court now is essentially a placeholder, meant...

Republican Congressman Says of Gaza: ‘It Should Be Like Nagasaki and Hiroshima’

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on April 1, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News, Politics.

A Republican House member from Michigan openly mused during a town hall last week about wiping out the Gaza Strip, telling his constituents that “it should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima.” “Get it over quick,” Rep. Tim Walberg said, according to a video that emerged online from the March 25 event in Dundee, Michigan. His remarks, invoking the U.S. atomic bombings of Japan during World War II while discussing his opposition to U.S. humanitarian aid for Gaza, drew swift condemnation, including at least one call for his resignation. He said that his remarks were taken out of context and that the...

Winderman’s view: After cruise control, non-deferential Butler needed next for Heat

WASHINGTON — Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 119-107 victory over the Washington Wizards: – If Jimmy Butler Week is about to follow, then everything else is a non-issue. – Including the passive start Sunday, before late and needed on-demand scoring. – And the lack of a breakout game in two weeks. – Perhaps it’s the lingering remnants of his illness. – Perhaps it’s allowing others to thrive, as Terry Rozier did Sunday. – Perhaps it’s merely waiting for this moment at hand. – With huge games now following against the Knicks, 76ers, Rockets and Pacers. – And that’s...

Heat take care of business 119-107 in Washington, with ante about to be raised

WASHINGTON — Little was asked and little was required for the Miami Heat over these past two games against the Portland Trail Blazers and Washington Wizards. Now the calculus changes to higher math than that required in Sunday night’s 119-107 victory over the Wizards at Capital One Arena or Friday night’s 60-point annihilation of the Trail Blazers at Kaseya Center. Against opponents that now stand at 19-55 (Blazers) and 14-61 (Wizards), it didn’t require Erik Spoelstra or his players to conjure their best. But next up are four consecutive games against opponents with winning records, starting...

FORT LAUDERDALE — Luis Suárez scored his fifth goal of the season for Inter Miami and Alonso Martínez scored the first of his career for New York City FC as the clubs played to a 1-1 draw on Saturday night. Suárez staked Inter Miami to a 1-0 lead just 15 minutes into the match, scoring on a header with an assist from Julian Gressel off a set piece. Suárez has also assisted on three goals as he continues to carry the scoring load with superstar teammate Lionel Messi out for the past three weeks with a muscle injury. Suárez is tied with the Los Angeles Galaxy’s Dejan Joveljic and one behind Lewis...

Pirates pound Puk in first major league start, get more solid pitching to send Marlins to 0-2

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on March 30, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Marlins, MLB, Sports.

By ALANIS THAMES (AP Sports Writer) MIAMI — Ke’Bryan Hayes had a single and an RBI double, and the Pittsburgh Pirates used another solid pitching outing to beat the Marlins 7-2 on Friday night. Michael A. Taylor and Connor Joe also doubled for the Pirates, who beat the Marlins in front of 13,636 people at loanDepot park — a sharp decline in attendance from the crowd of 32,564 on opening day. Marlins games have typically been among the fewest-attended in MLB for years, but Thursday’s opening-day home crowd was Miami’s largest since 2016. Starter Martín Pérez held the Marlins to one run through...

Winderman’s view: Rout of Blazers allows Highsmith to again state his case

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on March 30, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, Miami Heat Blog, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 152-82 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers: – This wing thing is getting interesting. – For reasons beyond the question of what happens when Tyler Herro returns. – Because Haywood Highsmith is on the rise. – As Jamie Jaquez Jr. levels off. – And as Caleb Martin remains somewhat uneven amid a variety of ailments. – The suggestion of Highsmith over Jaquez in the playoff rotation would have seemed folly earlier this season. – But Highsmith continues to change that calculus. – Yes, he’s more limited than Jaquez. – More of a...

Heat bludgeon Blazers 142-82 in most lopsided victory in franchise’s 36 seasons

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on March 30, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — The Portland Trail Blazers spent the 2023 offseason acting as if the Miami Heat didn’t exist, at least when it came to soliciting trade offers for since-dealt guard Damian Lillard. Friday night at Kaseya Center, the Blazers could not deny the reality of the Heat very much taking care of business, with Erik Spoelstra’s team pounding Portland 142-82 — the most lopsided victory in the Heat’s 36 seasons. “There was a professionalism from our part and an energy and an intentionality,” Spoelstra said. “And that’s what we’re aiming for right now. “Hopefully that becomes more who you are.” Pushing...

By TIM REYNOLDS (AP Basketball Writer) Florida Atlantic is hiring Baylor associate head coach John Jakus as its coach, a move that comes four days after Dusty May capped his six-year run with the Owls and took over at Michigan. Jakus and the school have agreed on a five-year contract. Financial terms were not immediately released and the school was planning to hold an introductory news conference on Friday. “This program has been in such great hands, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for what Dusty May, his staff, and the players have accomplished,” Jakus said. “FAU has been one of the...

Federal judges uphold DeSantis’ redistricting plan

TALLAHASSEE — A three-judge federal panel Wednesday rejected a constitutional challenge to a congressional redistricting plan that Gov. Ron DeSantis pushed through the Legislature in 2022, saying opponents did not prove lawmakers acted with “racially discriminatory purpose.” The decision was the second time in less than four months that courts have upheld the map in cases focused on the overhaul of a North Florida district that in the past elected a Black Democrat. The state’s 1st District Court of Appeal on Dec. 1 backed the plan — a decision that has been appealed to the Florida Supreme Court. The...
