Gov. Ron DeSantis wasted little time signing a bill that will rename Palm Beach International Airport after President Donald Trump. A little more than a year after the two clashed over the Republican presidential nomination, DeSantis on Monday signed legislation (HB 919) delivered to him earlier in the day, which dubs the West Palm Beach airport as “President Donald J. Trump International Airport.” DeSantis didn’t hold a public bill signing event as he continues to mend fences with Trump, whose Mar-a-Lago Club sits east of the airport. Trump’s son Eric Trump praised the signing on X, where he thanked DeSantis,...

A scheduled execution in Florida will not happen on Tuesday. It comes after the Florida Supreme Court refused to lift the stay of execution it granted to the former police officer. James Duckett was convicted of sexual battery and the murder of an 11-year-old girl in 1987. His legal team requested DNA testing, which they hoped would clear Duckett, and the results were inconclusive. Florida’s Attorney General then requested that the stay of execution be lifted, but the Florida Supreme Court refused. Grace Hanna is the Executive Director for Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. “It’s very rare, particularly...

Though the tyrant's idea of dealing wisely with the Hebrews began with slave labor,...

President Trump took aim at insurance giant State Farm and other providers by accusing them of abandoning Southern Californians devastated by last year’s wildfires. In a scathing Truth Social post on Tuesday, Trump singled out State Farm, calling the company and others like it “horrendous” for failing homeowners who had faithfully paid premiums for years. “People have been paying them large premiums for years, only to find that when tragedy struck, these horrendous companies were not there to help!” the president wrote.

Democrats find themselves with a deplorable dilemma – whether to reach into their no-talent “bench” for a 2028 standard bearer or turn to the 78–year-old party matriarch for yet another comeback bid. Saddled with an aging constituency of white, privileged, female boomers who fill up “No Kings” rallies, Democrats are in such disarray that some are looking to Hillary Clinton to come to the rescue. The former Secretary of State is coming to New Hampshire next month to headline a major fundraising dinner – fueling speculation about her White House intentions and generational complaints from progressives who view her as...

In a move that feels less like a corporate transaction and more like the final punchline to a 40-year industry rivalry, AMD announced Wednesday that it has agreed to acquire Intel, the company it has spent decades chasing, imitating, undercutting, suing, licensing from, and lately outperforming. The all-stock transaction, which AMD described as a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to unify x86 innovation," would combine the two companies under a single umbrella just a few years after such an outcome would have sounded ridiculous. For most of modern computing history, Intel was the empire and AMD the scrappy survivor, the perpetual second source...

President Donald Trump is reportedly giving serious thought to pulling the United States out of NATO after members refused to help the U.S. prevent Iran from blocking the Strait of Hormuz. In an interview with The Telegraph, Trump called NATO a weak and unreliable partner, referring to it as a “paper tiger” and that leaving the alliance is “beyond reconsideration.” The president complained that the United States has always defended Europe even when European allies “weren’tt here for us” when he asked them for support with the Iranian regime. He also took shots at the United Kingdom’s military strength saying,...
