Florida is ready for another bear hunt. Two Ways to Improve It | Column, May 22Not humaneThe 2015 Bear Hunt was a wild bar and “was confused.” Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Committee response? Allowing bear food, lung-penetrating arrows and killer dog packs makes your next hunt even more lewd. And future hunts will be far from “transparent.” At the 2015 check-in station, the public was furious at the scene of the murdered Mama Bear and the Cubs. What is the response of FWC? Eliminate check-in stations! Protect Florida’s majestic black bears and stop this unethical trophy hunt.Joan Zacharias, Tampa…

For the past 20 years, I have taught at Judy Genshaft Honors College at the University of South Florida. As my dream job progressed, I became a hit with Mother Road.Daniel Ruth (Tampa Bay Times)The Honorary Students represent some of the best and brightest on campus. Their SAT scores and GPAs are off the charts. They engage in challenging majors. I often call them the Jesuits of USF.And yes, if you’re wondering as a high school student, I wouldn’t have met the strict standards that should be accepted into the Honorary Program.Recently, I have been bastarded by President Donald Trump’s…

I just crushed about a quarter of this vegetable egg Foo Young. My brief research shows that there are some acceptable spellings and a huge number of fans. It’s my favorite American-Chinese takeaway staple. Made to perfection, it burns in a relaxed oil pool, soft, soft, crispy, with a faint appearance and heavy vegetable, they all tender. Broccoli and carrots, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, mushrooms, cabbage and baby corn in coarse chops. All restaurants do differently, but I often pass on gravy (some are too heavy for thickening agents, or too light for umami with soybeans and oyster sauce), but…

Florida police arrested more than two dozen people under a controversial new immigration law that makes it a crime to enter the state while undocumented — after a judge blocked the measure saying it was likely unconstitutional, a Tampa Bay Times analysis has found. At least nine of the 25 arrested have landed in immigration detention — scattered across the country from a crowded lockup in Miami to a facility in a sleepy Texas railway town to a confinement in a Pacific Northwest port city overlooked by Mount Rainier.Nearly all of them ended up on the radar of U.S. Immigration…

David Mchugh and Paul Wiseman, AP Business Writer Frankfurt, Germany (AP) — The top official of the European Union Executive Committee says it is pushing hard for a trade contract with the Trump administration to avoid a 50% tariff on imports. Trump had threatened to impose tariffs on June 1, but pushed back the deadline until July 9, repeating the tactics commonly used in trade wars. European negotiators are fighting Trump’s constant, unpredictable tariff threat, but “still, they have to come up with something to appease him,” Bruce Stokes said. Stokes also sees more than mere differences of opinion about…

Rather than eliminating mosquitoes, Florida Republicans want to eliminate property taxes that may be more popular in the states of the sun. Next year’s statewide referendum will likely drive record turnout to vote, but the outcome is certain. My older boss, Paul Tash, will say, “Everyone loves free ice cream.”But this is a terrible idea, fertilized by the most illicit messaging I’ve ever seen from Tallahassee. It would reflect on bankrupt cities and counties, police and fire departments, and drive school systems to the ground. The marshalling of Republican lawmakers behind it shows just how cynical and empty our representatives…
