Speaking with reporters on Wednesday evening, City of Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales said the discovery was part of an investigation by the department’s Special Investigation Section.Morales used a holiday season icon to describe the man they took into custody.“This guy right here is absolutely a real-life Grinch,” he said. “We’re glad that he’s off the streets.”Detectives said there was an organized drug ring as well as an organized retail theft ring being operated from inside a house in the area of Northwest 24th Avenue and 14th Street.Investigators said the officers who executed the narcotics search warrant recovered large quantities of cocaine, cash and firearms.“We’re conferring with the State Attorney’s Office and even the U.S. attorney,” said...

Taiwan’s US envoy: West needs to call out China to prevent invasion

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:06:37 GMT

Taiwan’s new top diplomat in the United States, Alexander Tah-ray Yui, has called on the U.S. and Europe to not “look the other way” in the face of a potential Chinese invasion of the self-governing island.“The best defense, best help that you can do for Taiwan … is by actively, openly voicing your concerns that you will not accept Chinese aggression towards Taiwan,” Yui told POLITICO’s Power Play podcast in an interview, warning against “stand[ing] by or look[ing] the other way if this aggression starts.”Faced with an increasingly belligerent China, which considers the self-governed democratic island as part of its territory, Taiwan is getting ready to fight off an invasion, the diplomat said.China is “preparing very seriously to have the ability to invade Taiwan,” Yui said, which is why Taiwan is “increasing [its] defense capabilities” to “confront any possible aggressions in the future.” Yui...

Allen: Americans say costly college degree not worth it

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:06:37 GMT

FORT WORTH, Texas — It’s the season for blow-out holiday sales. That thing you’ve been eyeing all year, the one that skyrocketing inflation made just a little too pricey to justify, is probably now a steal.If only that were the case about college tuition. Instead, that just continues to rise. And Fort Worth’s own Texas Christian University seems to be leading the pack.During the next academic year, TCU’s tuition is set to rise a whopping 7.9%. That’s an additional $4,500 year over year, for a grand total of $61,643 — an increase that means the cost of attending TCU now tops that of Harvard, America’s oldest and most prestigious university.Harvard costs only a measly $56,249 in comparison. After the $50k mark, what’s a couple thousand more, really?Mind you, that’s just tuition; it doesn’t include food, housing, books or the countless other fees and expenses that accrue during college.The cost of attending a private university has soared exponentially over the last decade, curre...

Hallelujah the Hills on deck for Sinclair show

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:06:37 GMT

In (roughly) a year’s time, Hallelujah the Hills will release a 52-song, four-album set — one original new song for each card in a deck.The idea is bonkers. It’s like a sonic “Apocalypse Now” or “Infinite Jest” or “General Hospital,” ridiculous, glorious, and absolutely attainable for Hallelujah the Hills’s frontman and songwriter Ryan Walsh.Walsh admits that “DECK” sounds a little like something an extremely baked musician pitches to bandmates in a tour van at 2 a.m. (only to be remembered ten years later with a, “Hey, man, whatever happened to our plan to…”).“How about 20 years? Because that’s when I came up with the idea,” Walsh told the Herald with a laugh. “I became really enamored with things like the Magnetic Fields’ ‘69 Love Songs’ and Guided By Voices’ ‘Suitcase,’ which is like four discs of songs that no one had ever heard, and the touchstone that I always talk about, the ‘Anthology of American Folk Music.’”“So the idea came easy,” Walsh added. “But then I guess it was 20 ...

Lucas: Harvard chief a good fit for Boston City Council

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:06:37 GMT

Claudine Gay should run for Boston City Council. She would fit right in.In fact, she could swap her job as president of Harvard University — as long she has it– to become president of the city council.As for now, Gay is safe – unlike  University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill who resigned following the furor over her failure before Congress to recognize and address waves of antisemitism on college campuses.Gay could join in with City Councilor Tania Fernandes-Anderson and others and open council sessions with the anti-Jewish chant “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and get applause for doing so.If there is any criticism, she could say that it’s all about the context.That aside Anderson, on behalf of the city council, presented a resolution to two New Mission High School students for leading a pro-Palestinian walkout at the school. They went on to chant the anti-Jewish slogan, the meaning of which they undoubtedly don’t know.Outgoing Cit...

Editorial: Voting rights measure serves Boston pols

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:06:37 GMT

Boston needs voters – citizens, non-citizens, it doesn’t matter to the City Council. Boosting low-turnout districts on election day is all that matters.That’s the backstory to yesterday’s passage of a measure granting immigrants with “legal status,” but not full citizenship the right to vote in local elections.As the Herald reported, Councilor Kendra Lara put forward a hearing order on the issue last month. Lara asserted that immigrants with “legal status” constitute more than 28% of the city population, pay on average $2.3 billion in taxes annually, and hold roughly $6 billion in “collective spending power.”“They’re not able to participate in the electoral process, in what I believe is a violation of one of our foundational American principles,” Lara said.Spending power equaling voting rights isn’t a foundational American principle. Citizenship conferring certain rights, include the right to vote, is.Legal status refers to an immigrant who ...
