Outspoken Florida supporters of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ failed presidential campaign mourned his decision, announced Sunday, to drop out. Many quickly endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination.
“I’m proud of the work that he did,” said state Rep. Chip LaMarca, the only Republican elected official in a partisan office in Broward County. “As he said, there’s not necessarily a path forward for him, so I think he’s doing the right thing.”
“To be honest, I’m disappointed,” said Joe Budd, the elected Republican state committeeman from Palm Beach County.

The Miami Dolphins incredibly haven’t won a playoff game since the end of 2000 and, after the Lions’ 24-23 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night, Jan. 14, 2024, own the longest active dry spell in the NFL. A look back at the most recent playoff wins for each NFL team (Home team in CAPS).

Our feelings might come crashing in like a tidal wave. The emotional Moon is wrestling with intellectual Mercury, so if we’re not careful, our emotions may overwhelm our ability to think. Luna then grumbles at fiery Mars. Powerful feelings could overload our self-control and ambition in a similar manner! Luckily, we get a break when the Moon works together with wounded healer Chiron at 2:04 pm EST to rein our souls back in. Our second thoughts should be more grounded than our first impulses.

Should you buy a pair of Beats headphones?
Known for their bass-centric sound and stylish designs, Beats makes some of the most recognizable headphones around.

The higher price point and mixed response to audio style have led many people to wonder if they are truly worth the cost. As with many things in life, the answer to this question isn’t...

We’re leaving behind an era. The Sun joins with transformational Pluto before both planets step into humanitarian Aquarius today, with Pluto entering at 7:50 pm EST. Pluto will briefly return to Capricorn for about a month later this year, before it leaves for generations — it won’t return there until February 28, 2254. This first peek of Pluto in Aquarius invites great energy for releasing ill-fitting structures in our lives and opening up to radical new growth. We should intentionally create our new beginnings.

Which are the best solutions for top-of-foot pain?
Foot pain is part of life for a lot of athletes, but it’s still a major problem that should be addressed. Pain on the top of the foot is tricky because many different medical conditions can cause this sort of pain including extensor tendonitis, gout, bone spurs and so on. Ankle pain and various kinds of exercise like trail running can also trigger pain on the top of the foot.
Luckily, there are quite a few options available such as pain relievers, foot massagers and ice packs to mitigate or get rid of top-of-foot discomfort. Seeing a doctor...
A South Florida pain management doctor was convicted at trial for illegally prescribing pain pills to most patients at his clinic without any legitimate medical basis and sometimes without examining them at all, prosecutors said Thursday.
Osmin Morales, 72, of Weston, is licensed in Florida as a medical doctor who is authorized to prescribe controlled substances at his clinic in Miami-Dade County and has been practicing since 1997, state Department of Health records show. The jury found him guilty on Jan. 12 after a seven-day trial of conspiracy to unlawfully dispense and distribute controlled...

Knowledge is power. Intellectual Mercury harmonizes with expansive Jupiter, asking us to broaden our horizons through travel, communicating with intelligent people, or taking a class that interests us. Unfortunately, as fair Venus squares confusing Neptune at 10:49 am EST, gray areas appear all over. The truth could be nigh impossible to find, and creative endeavors may be thwarted. Still, once caring Luna conjoins innovative Uranus, we can open our hearts to change — though mood swings and uncertainty are still present. Don’t be caught unaware.

By virtually any measure, Billy Napier entered 2024 squarely on the hot seat after consecutive losing seasons and a substandard brand of football. Florida AD Scott Stricklin disagrees and passionately backs the coach he hired to turn around the Gators. Will Stricklin be the one who ultimately decides Napier’s fate? During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar agree Stricklin has to stand by his man but wonder whether Napier’s approach to the transfer portal relative to the Gators’ competition is the latest red flag.
