Hypocritical Sheriff Caught Speeding In A Lamborghini On Video
Whether you'll admit it or not, everyone's broken the speed limit at least once. Maybe it was an accident. Maybe, like Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno, you just wanted to show off. A few days ago, The Florida Trident posted a video showing Sheriff Marceno hammering the throttle in a black Lamborghini Huracan Spyder, racing a friend in a Corvette. This footage was taken on South Tamiami Trail in Estero, Florida, by Ken Romano, a jeweler from Bonita Springs and apparently a former friend of Marceno's. The sheriff was behind the wheel of the Huracan, speeding alongside Romano in a Corvette. The video shows both cars doing over 70 mph in a 50 zone, more than enough to get a speeding fine. Romano shouts, "Yeah, juice that motherf*cker!" and Marceno responds in kind, dropping a gear and letting the naturally aspirated V10 sing. Honestly, who can be blame him. A sheriff racing down a public road in a Lamborghini might sound like something out of a Fast & Furious sequel, but this story isn't all fun and games. Just last month, Marceno posted on Facebook that he has "zero tolerance for street racing" after his deputies arrested a teenager for doing just that. He emphasized his dislike toward it by saying "Driving at excessive speeds and putting yourself, your passengers, and others on the road at risk is an incredibly selfish decision. My deputies will continue to patrol the roads of Lee County, ensuring drivers make smart choices or they will face the consequences." If that sounds hypocritical, it's because it is. So far, nothing. The Florida Trident reached out to the sheriff's office but got no response. Ken Romano also declined to comment. Look, we get it. Car people like speed. But when the guy who preaches "zero tolerance" gets caught doing exactly what he condemns, it hits different. Whether Sheriff Marceno faces any consequences remains to be seen. But one thing's clear: the badge doesn't make you untouchable. The law applies to everyone - even those who enforce it. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Shark sightings in New York prompt warnings for holiday swimmers
(NewsNation) — Public safety officials are monitoring the waters off of Queens, New York, after a series of shark sightings prompted temporary beach closure on the Fourth of July. The sightings took place along the shores of Rockaway Beach, with the sharks venturing too close for the comfort of swimmers. Officials with NYC Emergency Management, in coordination with lifeguards on the ground, were able to monitor the sharks' using drones before lifting an hour-long closure at Beach 30th Street. How people are celebrating, protesting and traveling for July Fourth Ahead of the holiday weekend, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul released a statement warning visitors to Long Island State Park beaches to stay vigilant when in the water. 'We are continuing to strengthen our shark surveillance capabilities and safety tactics at these beaches to help protect these treasured summertime traditions. I encourage all beachgoers to stay safe, stay alert and always follow the direction of lifeguards and park staff,' Hochul said.

Hunter Biden begged DNC to pay his legal fees for tax, gun cases: new tome
WASHINGTON — Then-first son Hunter Biden begged the Democratic National Committee to foot his mounting legal bills for the federal tax and gun charges he faced last year, according to an explosive new tell-all. The DNC was paying the legal fees for dad Joe Biden, who was still president at the time, over a separate federal probe into whether the commander in chief hoarded classified documents — but scoffed at also covering Hunter's extra legal costs, says the book '2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America.' By June 2024, Hunter's 'sugar brother' Kevin Morris had already paid off more than $2 million in tax delinquency related to one of then-first son's criminal cases and had been shelling out even more for his related legal bills. Advertisement 3 Then-first son Hunter Biden begged the Democratic National Committee to foot his mounting legal bills for federal tax and gun charges he faced last year. CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images Those bills included ongoing alimony payments to Hunter's ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, and child-support checks to Lunden Roberts, the mother of his love-child Navy Joan, as set out in a June 2023 settlement. Hunter's legal tab as the presidential contest ramped up in January 2024 stood at around $5 million, Morris testified to House Republican investigators. Advertisement Morris' daughter later accused the troubled first son of 'taking advantage' of her father's largesse. 3 The seamy first son was convicted of three felony gun charges June 11, 2024. Last month, the law firm that represented Hunter also sued him for reneging on more than $50,000 in legal fees. Hunter was convicted of three felony gun charges June 11, 2024, and pleaded guilty to multiple tax felonies for evading $1.4 million in payments to the IRS in September. Advertisement His father months later pardoned him of all those charges as well as any related to potential crimes he may have committed between Jan. 1, 2014, and Dec. 1, 2024. 3 Former President Joe Biden handed his son a controversial sweeping pardon before leaving office. WireImage 'The only thing I care about is that my son is not convicted,' Biden told a close friend before Hunter's first conviction, according to journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf in their forthcoming book, which was excerpted Thursday in the Wall Street Journal. The president at one point considered forming a legal defense fund for his son to push back on the federal probe as well as the parallel congressional investigation into Hunter's foreign influence peddling that could potentially implicate him. Advertisement '2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,' is being published by Penguin Press on July 8. Reps for the DNC and Hunter's former lawyer, Abbe Lowell, did not respond to Post requests for comment.
