Florida Senator Marco Rubio announced that he would not be attending Biden’s State of the Union Tuesday night due to its COVID-19 guidelines, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis rejected a request to send National Guard members to Washington, D.C., to serve as security.

DeSantis was sworn in for a second term in office on Tuesday, having decisively defeated Democratic challenger Charlie Crist during the most recent midterm elections. During his 16-minute speech that followed, in addition to reiterating his frequent past attacks on “woke ideology,” DeSantis also took aim at the Biden administration and the federal government for hampering Florida’s success. “Now Florida’s success has been made more difficult by the floundering federal establishment in Washington, D....

If authorities are right, by the time Muhammad and his young sidekick were done last week, many millions of people had been traumatized by their grotesque playacting. The two pretenders left a blood-soaked trail as they wandered from Washington state to Alabama to metropolitan Washington, D.C. They left little catch-me-if-you-can clues and odd allusions to Jamaican music and folklore. They methodically shot people of all ages, genders and races, and they made outrageous demands for money....

James may have said all the right things coming into the 2018-19 season, acknowledging the Lakers wouldn’t become a title contender overnight. But now it’s getting pretty rocky in LA. And as we all know, you don’t want to be around LeBron when his patience runs out — because that means changes are coming.

Any tenant is lucky to have a washer and dryer in their apartment, but it seems few are going to more extreme lengths for clean clothes than Garrison. The DJ filmed the hike he has to embark on to get to the appliances, saying: “I just wanted to show you my laundry room. I for real can’t make this s*** up.” In a TikTok clip shared to the site at the end of last month, he unlocks a door explaining the machines are located in a separate building....

Missing most of last season with a knee injury, Hall’s return will be coupled with some firsts he may have not expected, including playing on a line centered by No. 1 overall pick Jack Hughes. “It’s going to be fun to play with Jack,” the winger said after the team’s morning skate. “I really didn’t think I’d get a chance to play with him in the exhibition season so to be on the ice with him for the last two practices, see his skill level first-hand, wearing a Devils jersey, it’s going to be fun to play with him....

Chen hopes PCCW will leap through the window once again. The business, headed by Richard Li, Hong Kong’s hottest cyberpreneur, may bid on Hong Kong Telecom, the city’s largest telecommunications company. With no revenue to speak of, PCCW’s valuation depends to a large part on its as-yet unrealized business plan–to become the leading broadband Internet provider in Asia. By contrast, Hong Kong Telecom, which is controlled by Cable & Wireless, is a $4 billion-a-year enterprise with a network of fixed-phone and fiber-optic lines and 14,000 employees....

(Keep in mind: In 1988,when I played my first game at Wrigley, all the games were still played during the day). The bus ride from the hotel is short but really cool. You travel along a route that takes you by Lake Michigan, where people are out early, walking and running and loving the outdoors. There are a few parks where you see kids playing soccer, softball, maybe a baseball game....

Sadly, no one took home the Powerball jackpot, but plenty of other big prizes were handed out....

How do judges decide? In most states the judge who presides over a custody negotiation begins each case with two presumptions: that children need contact with both parents, and that both mom and dad are fit to raise their own kids. A judge then figures out who should get physical custody and who has decision-making power over the child’s life— usually the parent who gets physical custody. The formula a judge uses for determining who gets the kids is straightforward: whichever parent shows sufficiently strong judgment to protect the health and safety of the child....

While Mayweather vs. Paul was billed and sold as an exhibition bought between one of the greatest ever and an internet celebrity, the fight itself seemed a bit more scripted than a WWE match. (Which Mayweather would know a thing or two about.) During the fight, though, Mayweather may have gone off script: Mayweather landed a flush counter-punch, hobbling and dazing Paul. MORE: No one was happy with Mayweather vs....

The Florida Republican actually told an “America First” rally in Dalton, Georgia, that Big Tech firms were “the internet’s hall monitors,” and said they were trying to “suppress” conservatives as he called on the movement to use the First Amendment to speak and assemble. He later made a separate point about the Second Amendment and a Twitter user edited the speech to make it look like Gaetz was calling on people to shoot Silicon Valley employees....
