Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 4, 2024. Posted in Education, Florida News, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Local News, News, Politics.

Florida should reverse course on its “harmful” abstinence-only requirements for public school health classes and allow schools to teach a comprehensive sex education curriculum, according to a letter sent to state leaders Thursday from seven Democrats serving in Congress. “Abstinence-only programs have been consistently proven ineffective, damaging to students’ health, and discriminatory against the LGBTQ+ community,” read the letter from the Florida congressional members. “This directive is another extremist attack on evidence-based, data-driven policies.” The letter was sent to Gov. Ron...

Here’s a look at how the Miami Dolphins (1-3) and New England Patriots (1-3) match up in six key areas ahead of Sunday’s Week 5 game at Gillette Stadium (1 p.m., FOX): When the Dolphins run: It feels like Miami has been leaving much on the table in the run game, especially when this team could stand to benefit from being effective on the ground while it plays without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The Dolphins averaged 3.5 yards per carry in Monday night’s loss to the Tennessee Titans, with De’Von Achane getting just 1.5 yards per attempt with 15 yards on 10 carries.

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 2, 2024. Posted in Florida News, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News.

Presnell ruled that the law is not “sufficiently narrowly tailored” to meet First Amendment standards...

What we learned in Miami Dolphins’ 31-12 loss to the Tennessee Titans

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 1, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

MIAMI GARDENS — It was an ugly showing for the Miami Dolphins in Monday’s 31-12 drubbing by the Tennessee Titans. The offense was abysmal, and its architect, coach Mike McDaniel, wasn’t much better.

Fans booed the home team because its overall performance was so bad. The Dolphins (1-3) need to get this figured out before hitting the road for next week’s game at New England. Here are the top takeaways from another Miami debacle: Snoop Huntley has little effect...

Or any other insufferable season this franchise put up. The previously winless Tennessee Titans beat the Dolphins 31-12 at Hard Rock Stadium in a statement of where the Dolphins season stands. Here are 10 thoughts on the night: 1. Stat of the night: Twelve points. That’s all the Dolphins could muster. That’s one above their NFL-low average this year.
