On Wednesday, Aug. 28, Gov. Ron DeSantis distanced himself from a controversial plan to build golf courses at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, which has drawn an outburst of anger and protest from the Palm Beaches to the Treasure Coast.
In his first public comments since outrage exploded over state plans to add golf courses, lodges and pickleball courts to nine state parks, DeSantis deflected the issue, briefly saying it was an attempt to build a “narrative” from the political left.
“A lot of that stuff was just half-baked and it was leaked to a left-wing group to try to create a narrative,”...

Kamala Harris’ latest ad buy likely won’t net her a win in Florida, but it’s sure to get under Donald Trump’s skin. Her campaign ran an attack ad in battleground states across the country on Tuesday and in Florida, which has been a safely red state since 2016. The decision to shell out precious campaign cash in the Sunshine State appeared to be a perplexing one, but the campaign’s intentions became more clear after The Bulwark reported the advertisement was only run in the media market of West Palm Beach—home to Trump and his estate at Mar-a-Lago. The AdImpact tracking firm estimated the advertisement cost at least $50,000 on cable alone. Harris’ campaign confirmed the advertisement was placed to reach Trump’s eyeballs when he’s watching TV at home. “We thought it was important for Donald to see how much voters hate his Project 2025 plans to control their lives, seek revenge on his enemies, and rule as a dictator on day one,” a Harris spokeswoman told The Bulwark. Trump’s campaign is also reportedly placing its own ads in South Florida so Trump can watch.Read it at The BulwarkRead more at The Daily Beast.

A convicted killer who slit the throat of a Florida State University freshman and raped his older sister at a Florida campsite was executed Thursday evening after his legal team unsuccessfully argued his Parkinson’s diagnosis should spare his life.

Loran Cole, 57, was pronounced dead at 6:15 p.m. inside Florida State Prison from a lethal injection 30 years after he murdered the 18-year-old by ruthlessly beating him and cutting his throat.

When asked if he had any final words, all Cole muttered was, “No sir.”

His last meal was pizza, M&M’s, ice cream and soda, USA Today reported.
