....A male shopper at a Publix supermarket in Cape Coral, Fl. turned to his local FOX-TV affiliate’s “Four in Your Corner” after glimpsing a recent National Enquirer issue with President-elect Donald Trump on the cover. And… in front of the shelf-stack of Enquirer issues, near the supermarket checkout area, a translucent white plastic shield similar to ones used to mute from younger passers-by the fronts of Cosmopolitan and men’s magazines.... Here’s the statement WFTX-TV reporter Lisa Greenberg got from Publix HQ: “The National Enquirer receives the most customer complaints about front page content, so they were added to the list...

President-elect Donald Trump wished the world a Merry Christmas on Sunday -- on Twitter, of course. Trump tweeted out a #MerryChristmas photo of him with his right hand raised in a fist and a Christmas tree in the background behind him.

Basketball legend Ray Allen took to the road for the holidays. But this wasn’t your ordinary family Christmas visit. Allen, who played with the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics, joined the USO Holiday Tour to visit military personnel overseas, with stops including Afghanistan and Qatar. But Allen didn’t just speak and mingle with the troops at military bases last week. He also experienced a few adventures of his own, like hanging from an airborne CH-47 Chinook helicopter over Afghanistan. *********snip******** He grew up around military bases as the son of an Air Force mechanic. The holiday tour showed appreciation to...

A Democratic concert promoter is putting together an inauguration day show in Miami to directly compete with President-elect Donald Trump's special day. Politico Playbook is reporting that Mark Ross, the son of the late Time Warner CEO Steve Ross, is putting together a 'We the People' concert, which will take place on January 20, 2017. 'The talent is banging on our doors to do this,' a source told Playbook. Much like Trump's inaugural, where only a handful of acts have been announced, there are few details about who might show up to this competing show. Currently, Ross is working on...

After months of negotiation with state officials, a Florida woman has finally received a license allowing her to keep her pet alligator. The gentle gator named Rambo is "like a dog" and loves being petted and going for walks on a leash, according to his owner, Mary Thorn, 55, of Lakeland, Florida. Rambo is ... a local celebrity and has been the star of small shows... for a few charities and organizations... The "trained" gator has even been photographed "riding an ATV" along with her on her motorcycle, Thorn said. But earlier this year, in March, the gator garnered national...

>> Read full context at RCP. The most interesting part: MANES: I'm referring to the November 8 election. There's been so much sort of collective good that's going on. And I'm not trying to downplay that. But there is so much licensed hate right now. And I'm hearing it more often than I've ever heard it in my life.

WELLINGTON, Fla. - A Macy’s loss-prevention officer was bitten Sunday evening by two women he suspected of stealing from a mall in Florida, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said. Tresha and Trudy-Ann Thompson were arrested on charges of aggravated battery and theft, records show. The women share a home, according to records, although their relationship is not clear in the arrest reports.

Who would have thought a butter knife could become the center of a school controversy? Last month, officials at Silver Trail Middle School near Miami, Florida, suspended an 11-year-old honors student for violating a county policy strictly prohibiting weapons on campus. The girl’s weapon of choice: a butter knife fit for a toddler. To highlight the dangers of having this dull knife on campus, the police noted to state prosecutors that the girl used it to cut a peach. Such is the folly of overcriminalization: Every minor mishap gets crammed into the criminal justice system when it could be easily resolved...

The Left is livid and distraught over the Election Day victory of Donald Trump and has resorted to reporting incidents to blame Trump supporters. However, the problem is that many of them have been debunked as hoaxes. For example, Yasmin Seweid accused New York City subway riders of not coming to her aid when Trump supporters harassed her. She later admitted she made it up to not get in trouble for violating curfew. On college campuses, here are some Trumped-up hate crimes which have since their first reporting been verified to be false: • At North Park University in Chicago,...

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated as his Army secretary Vincent Viola, an Army veteran who became a billionaire after founding an electronic trading firm and went on to buy the Florida Panthers hockey team. Viola is a 1977 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., and funded the creation of its highly regarded Combating Terrorism Center after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. A former infantry officer and Ranger School graduate, he has pressed for innovation in cyber warfare, saying at a conference five years ago that the Army of the future will be built on a “gestalt...

Florida's electors will meet in the Capital on Monday to cast their votes for president, after voters in the state chose Donald Trump. Don't expect any surprises. The people picked to cast Florida's votes in the Electoral College are among the most faithful Florida Republicans and it's extremely unlikely any will be swayed by the glut of emails, letters and phone calls pleading with them not to cast their votes for Trump, who carried the state in November. ``I really appreciate all the postcards that I've gotten. The front side of them were pretty,'' said Sharon Day, an elector who...
