“Rainfall” ahead of fall

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:38:28 GMT

Rain and storm chances remain high this week ahead of the fall season (which begins Saturday). The wet weather is due to a front that’s set to stall across Florida. Heavy rain and storms will arrive in rounds. Hopefully, there will be sufficient dry time between downpours, so areas won’t be as vulnerable for street flooding. Of course, going back to last week, many areas have been extra-wet. That would include locations around Miami International Airport, where we had a record rain over the weekend! There’s an abundance of lingering moisture that’s fueling this activity. As a slow-moving front settles into the region (and becomes stationary) we’ll have the ingredients for wet and unsettled weather. This pattern should last through Thursday, at least. After that, we may get some “help” from the Atlantic. A late-week low pressure disturbance is forecast to form (east of Florida and well north of the Bahamas). That low would lift nor...

Robbins: GOP bows to Trump in Biden impeachment query

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:38:28 GMT

A political gaffe, journalist Michael Kinsley once said, is what happens when a politician accidentally tells the truth. Republican Congressman Ken Buck is no doubt drawing fire from his Republican colleagues in the House for his Washington Post op ed last week deriding his party’s newly-launched “impeachment inquiry” into President Joe Biden for “relying on an imagined history.”  But what else is new?In the case of Congressional Republicans, it isn’t: imagined history, imagined facts, imagined rigged elections, imagined declassification of documents – this sort of thing has been the Republicans’ staple since Trump took his famous escalator ride down Trump Tower in 2015.The inquiry was ordered up by former President Trump, who is keen to divert attention from the 91 separate criminal charges pending against him in four separate jurisdictions, for everything from falsifying records to hide his hush money payments to a porn star, to trying to block the counting of electoral votes in o...
