WASHINGTON – In the week since his acquittal on impeachment charges, a fully emboldened President Donald Trump is demonstrating his determination to assert an iron grip on government, pushing his Justice Department to ease up on a longtime friend while using the levers of presidential powers to exact payback on real and perceived foes. Trump has told confidants in recent days that he felt both vindicated and strengthened by his acquittal in the Senate, believing Republicans have rallied around him in unprecedented fashion while voters were turned off by the political process, according to four White House officials and Republicans close to the West Wing who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations. Since then, Trump and his aides have moved with haste to clear his administration of those he sees as insufficiently loyal, reaching all the way back to the time of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Democrats and outside analysts are raising red flags that Trump is exhibiting a post-impeachment thirst for vengeance that’s gone beyond bending norms and could potentially cause lasting damage to institutions. Some Republican senators, including Tennessee’s Lamar Alexander, Maine’s Susan Collins and Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski, said they found Trump’s effort to pressure Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy inappropriate.

ASK IRA: Could Heat be simultaneously showcasing and highlighting Jimmy Butler?
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday - 11/26/2024 - 03:00 AM
Q: Jimmy Butler won’t ever have more value than he does right now. If they lose him for nothing in the offseason it is going to be a major setback for the organization. And they have limited draft assets going forward. I don’t think this team can beat the current version of the Celtics four games, so they aren’t really playing for a title.

Early sport specialization can sabotage your child’s athletic future | Opinion
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday - 11/26/2024 - 03:00 AM
Some 60 million children in America participate in organized sports each year. And more than 26% of those kids specialize in just one sport before puberty. Early sport specialization means that children are involved in intense, year-round training in a single sport to the exclusion of other sports. The widespread participation is wonderful, but the specialization in a single sport is a growing problem.

E-scooter riders need to wear helmets. I’ve seen the results when they don’t | Opinion
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday - 11/26/2024 - 03:00 AM
Several years ago, I noticed a growing trend at Memorial Regional Hospital South, where I work as an occupational therapist specializing in traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. The trend, sadly, is the rapid rise of patients requiring intensive therapy after suffering a severe head or spinal injury while using a micromobility device like an electric scooter (e-scooter). There is no universal helmet law in the United States.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday - 11/26/2024 - 03:00 AM
Is this Donald Trump’s joke on America? Why didn’t anyone give him a competency test before he ran again, instead of taking his word that he was sane? Matt Gaetz for attorney general? That would have made America the laughingstock of the world — if we aren’t already. Pete Hegseth, a Fox News weekend co-anchor, to be Secretary of Defense?
