    A preliminary report from the Florida Auditor General found UF failed to prevent former President Ben Sasse from leveraging his executive privileges to inappropriately spend university funds. The Florida Auditor General’s report, obtained by The Alligator, revealed new details about Sasse’s spending practices, including that he used more than $300,000 in university funds to charter flights on the University Athletic Association’s private jets for trips with no clear business purposes.

    In the giddy hangover of our tumultuous celebration of American liberation, let’s chat about some of the legal aspects of what’s happening and what’s going to happen because there are a lot of bad legal takes out there (follow the essential Twitter account of the same name), and you don’t want to be repeating the same kind of nonsense that other people do. Let’s be clear about something. I’m not telling you what I think the law should be. I’m telling you how the law actually is. And then I’ll give my opinion, which might be wrong. Of course, my...

    A Georgia mayor who boasts being the country’s first Black Lives Matter organizer elected to office is facing scrutiny for using $20,000 of public funds for international travel and other questionable purchases, according to reports. South Fulton Mayor Khalid Kamau was accused this week of using a city-issued purchase card in December for unauthorized spending on a trip to Africa, food and other expenses that totaled around $26,000, a councilwoman reportedly said this week.Kamau, who has denied wrongdoing, documented an extended trip to Ghana last month on social media according to WSB-TV, showing him on videos at a party and...

    Former Vice President Mike Pence, who had to be evacuated four years ago Monday as rioters stormed the Capitol, welcomed “the return of order and civility” as Congress moved to certify President-elect Trump’s 2024 victory. “The peaceful transfer of power is the hallmark of our democracy and today, members of both parties in the House and Senate along with the vice president certified the election of our new president and vice president without controversy or objection,” Pence posted on the social platform X. “I also commend the members of the House, Senate and the Vice President who did their duty...
  • Trump complains that US flags will be half-staff on his inauguration day

    WASHINGTON, Jan 3 (Reuters) - President-elect Donald Trump complained on Friday that American flags would still be lowered to half-staff in honor of the late President Jimmy Carter during Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration. President Joe Biden ordered flags lowered to half-staff for 30 days from the day of Carter's death on Dec. 29, as is custom when a U.S. president dies. Trump, who has announced plans to attend Carter's memorial service in Washington on Jan. 9, took issue in a Truth Social post on Friday with the flags remaining in the mourning position during his swearing-in ceremony. "The Democrats are...

    The Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion on January 1, 2025, outside President-elect Trump’s hotel has sparked a fervent investigation into the motives of the deceased driver, identified as 37-year-old former army veteran Matthew Livelsberger. Seven individuals were injured in the blast, which occurred in the valet area of the Trump Hotel. Authorities are exploring the possibility of political motivation and are also examining any potential links to a separate incident in New Orleans on the same day, where a truck plowed into a crowd, resulting in 15 fatalities. The New Orleans incident is under investigation as a terrorist attack, with authorities...

    Jimmy Carter’s melancholy fate was to be a largely derivative figure: He was a reaction against his elected predecessor and the precursor of his successor. Richard Nixon made Carter tempting; Carter made Ronald Reagan necessary.The deceits and crimes of Nixon’s imperial presidency bred Carter’s pompous crusade against pomp. Carter proclaimed “I’ll never lie to you” while claiming that he was a “nuclear physicist.” He denied saying what a tape proved he said about Lyndon Johnson’s “lying, cheating and distorting the truth.”Carter’s signature achievement, peace between Israel and Egypt, diminished the threat of another conventional Middle East war. In his post-presidency...

    Max Boot’s biography Reagan — His Life and Legend will have an importance beyond its worth because its author, once a Republican in good standing, is now a prominent member of the anti-Trump intelligentsia. As a result, Boot, more than an average historian, betrays an agenda. We get a hint of Boot’s ulterior motive in the front matter with a quote from Sherwood Anderson, a now obscure novelist and short story writer, “All men lead their lives behind a wall of misunderstanding they have themselves built.” Tellingly, one of Anderson’s first efforts at writing was a book titled, Why I...

    On Nov. 5, Americans hired Donald Trump to do three things: put more money into their pockets; lower prices for gas, groceries and rent and restore order at the southern border. Trump was not hired to gut the Justice Department, abolish the FBI, pardon the Jan. 6 rioters, weaken our intelligence agencies, eliminate the Department of Education or “go wild on health.” Trump’s initial nominations of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) for attorney general (now withdrawn), Pete Hesgeth for secretary of Defense, Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of Health and Human Services, and...
  • The ‘Landslide’ That Wasn’t: Trump and Allies Pump Up His Narrow Victory

    The New York Times ^ | Nov. 22, 2024Updated 9:13 a.m. ET | Peter Baker
    On the night he won a second term, President-elect Donald J. Trump rejoiced in the moment. “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” he boasted. In the two weeks since, his campaign has repeatedly heralded his “landslide,” even to market Trump merchandise like the “Official Trump Victory Glass.”But by traditional numeric measures, Mr. Trump’s victory was neither unprecedented nor a landslide. In fact, he prevailed with one of the smallest margins of victory in the popular vote since the 19th century and generated little of the coattails of a true landslide.The disconnect goes beyond predictable Trumpian braggadocio. The...

    Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) endorsed Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears (R) for governor on Monday ahead of the state’s gubernatorial race in 2025. “Winsome has been an outstanding Lt. Governor, and she will be a great governor,” Youngkin wrote in a post on X. “She has been an outspoken advocate for commonsense conservative principles and policies, a passionate voice for our military and veterans, and a relentless advocate for educational freedom and economic opportunity. She brings the fighting spirit of a Marine to the office every single day,” he said. Sears was elected lieutenant governor in 2021 when Youngkin was...

    Senate Minority Whip John Thune will be the new Republican Senate leader and the majority leader of the upper chamber in the new Congress. In January, he will succeed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who is the longest-serving party leader in Senate history. Sources told Fox News Digital that no candidate reached a majority on the first secret ballot. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., received the least amount of votes and was knocked out of the race. The second secret ballot was between only Thune and Cornyn. The senator received at least 27 votes from the 53-member conference during a...

    Exit poll results showed 79% of Jewish voters backing Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday, compared with 21% who said they’d voted for the Republican, former President Donald Trump. More responses are still being added to the poll, which was conducted by a consortium of national media outlets, and the results could change. If the current split holds, it would represent yet another election cycle in which Republican claims that Jews would flock to their candidate because of Israel or antisemitism did not pan out.Edison Research, which conducts the poll for the consortium, surveyed voters in 10 states: Arizona,...

    MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes declared that “public opinion still matters” on Wednesday as he pointed to challenges that Donald Trump and Republicans could still face despite the president-elect’s election win. “The most important thing, to those of us who are committed to stopping them, is to remember their success is not foreordained in any way,” Hayes said. “They’re going to try and there are going to be a lot of people who try to stop them. And the outcome of that is as yet undetermined.” Hayes, who noted that Trump’s win showed voters’ “rejection of the status quo,” said Trump...

    Nov 5 (Reuters) - Democrat Josh Stein won the North Carolina governor's race on Tuesday, Fox News projected, defeating Republican Mark Robinson, whose candidacy imploded following a CNN report that he had called himself a "Black Nazi" and made other offensive remarks on a pornographic website. Robinson, the Southern state's lieutenant governor, has denied the allegations and filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN. Robinson was endorsed by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who previously praised him as "Martin Luther King on steroids" but whose campaign distanced itself after the scandal broke in September. Robinson advocated for bringing back slavery for...

    Conservative influencer Nick Fuentes, who has refused to endorse Donald Trump in his 2024 presidential campaign, said Friday that the former president's supporters dressing in garbage bags made him realize that "it is a cult." In his Friday night episode of America First, Fuentes referenced Trump's October 30 rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, when the former president climbed into a garbage truck in an effort to play on President Joe Biden's remark from the day before. Biden faced backlash after a clip of his call Tuesday with Voto Latino was circulated online, where he was heard saying, "The only garbage...

    It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest. He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks. Those disqualifying characteristics are compounded by everything else that limits his ability to fulfill the duties of the president: his many criminal charges, his advancing age, his fundamental lack of interest...

    Democratic self-rule contains a paradox. It is a system premised on openness and competition. Any ambitious party or politician should have a shot at running for office and winning. But what if a major candidate seeks to dismantle that very system? America confronts this problem today. Donald Trump poses a clear threat to American democracy. He was the first president in U.S. history to refuse to accept defeat, and he illegally attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Now, on the brink of returning to the White House, Mr. Trump is forthrightly telling Americans that if he wins,...
