The Trump administration agreed under a settlement on Monday to restore the Pride flag to Stonewall National Monument’s federal flagpole within seven days and maintain it there, removing it only for maintenance or other practical purposes. A judge approved the agreement, resolving the dispute over the flag’s removal.

The Stonewall National Monument was first designated by President Barack Obama in 2016, protecting the Stonewall Inn in New York City as a historic site – becoming the first U.S. national monument dedicated to LGBTQ history.

The ruling reins in the Trump administration’s push to eliminate diversity-related programs across national parks, after the flag’s removal in February sparked protests from Democratic leaders and activists and escalated into a broader political flashpoint.

«This is a victory for the LGBTQ+ community and for our entire city,» wrote Mayor Zohran Mamdani in an X on Monday. «It’s a reminder that New Yorkers won’t let our history be rewritten.»

He added that, «Our administration will keep working to ensure LGBTQ+ New Yorkers can live safely and with dignity in our city.»

At the time of the flag removal, Mamdani said he was «outraged,» calling for the country to live up to the legacy the Stonewall Inn represents, while a Department of Interior spokesperson previously told Fox News Digital that «city leaders seem more focused on theatrics than solutions.»

«Hundreds of families in New York City went without power during this year’s severe cold weather, people are being found dead on the streets, and trash has piled up so high it towers over city residents. This is Mayor Mamdani and city officials’ New York City,» the spokesperson said at the time.

They added, «it would be a better use of their time to get the trash buildup off city streets, ensure there are no more avoidable deaths, and work to keep the power on for the people of New York City.»

«The removal of the Pride flag from Stonewall was an attempt to erase LGBTQ+ history and undermine the rule of law,» said Andrew Berman, executive director of Village Preservation. «This settlement restores both.»

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer celebrated the decision on X, writing, «the administration was forced to settle and heed our demands that the pride flag at Stonewall National Monument will always fly freely and proudly.»

Sin duda, la voz de Lamazón marcó a toda una generación que escuchó sus crónicas, pero, algo que lo caracterizó fue “la tarjeta de Don Lama”.

La voz de Eduardo Lamazón acompañó diferentes peleas en el boxeo mundial, no solo cuando compitieron púgiles mexicanos, sino también con las grandes figuras del boxeo, Lamazón se encargó de analizar y dar las tarjetas que ve desde su perspectiva. Don Lama, Lama, Lamita fue la frase que sonó en las transmisiones.

El origen de su apodo de Don Lama no surgió dentro del gremio boxístico ya que salió de un personaje que narra futbol, se trató de Christian Martinoli. Fue el propio Eduardo Lamazón que reveló cómo el Deus influyó para que se le “bautizara” de tal forma.

En una entrevista con Erik Terrible Morales para su podcast Un Round Más, el analista de boxeo contó cómo surgió la idea de que se le llame Don Lama. A pesar de que Carlos Aguilar fue uno de los precursores al llamarle Lama Lamita, el otro sobrenombre se lo puso Martinoli.

De acuerdo con el testimonio de Eduardo Lamazón, en un programa en el que participaron juntos, el fanático del Toluca lo nombró como Don Lama y sugirió que el apodo se quedara para próximas emisiones deportivas. A pesar de que Martinoli se dedica exclusivamente a cubrir fútbol, cruzó camino con el experimentado analista de box y se encargó de bautizarlo como Don Lama, nombre que perdurará en la memoria de los fanáticos.

Don Lama me puso Martinoli. Martinoli en un programa que estábamos compartiendo, en una entrevista, de algún modo dijo Don Lama y dijo ‘tomen nota, que se quede don Lama, así le vamos a decir’”, narró Lamazón.

A partir de ese momento, el resto de los comentaristas de boxeo adoptaron tal apodo para referirse al Lama del boxeo. Según compartió Eduardo Lamazón, el Zar del boxeo completó el seudónimo “Y después lo de Lama, Lama, Lamita para dar la tarjeta fue Carlos Aguilar”, agregó el analista de box.

A partir de ese momento en todas las transmisiones deportivas de Box Azteca el público reconoció el apodo y se conservó. Por ello el comentarista confesó que sí le gustó la forma en la que Martinoli y Carlos Aguilar lo nombraron ya que reconoció que el sobrenombre ha sido bien recibido por la afición.

Sí me gusto, sobre todo porque ha funcionado bien, la gente lo ha recibido bien. No ha habido burlas ni nada por el estilo, sino ha habido anécdotas”, agregó.

Finalmente, en una de las anécdotas que compartió sobre su apodo, recordó la peculiar forma en la que fue reconocido por un chofer de tráiler, pero lo llamó de forma diferente.

“En una ocasión iba yo caminando en la calle y frenó un camión de carga, feo frenó, me dice ‘oiga, ¡usted es el Dalay Lama!’, sí, sí, le dije”.

Eduardo Lamazón solo se ausentó solo en una ocasión de las narraciones de TV Azteca, la cual fue en octubre de 2021 por problemas de salud. En 2025 recibió un homenaje en vida y se alejó de las coberturas.

Christian Martinoli es uno de los narradores más emblemáticos de Azteca Deportes y parte de su estilo narrativo se ha caracterizado por sus emblemáticas frases al momento de cubrir un juego. Pero también ha sobresalido gracias a los apodos que le ha puesto a sus compañeros de micrófonos.

Uno de los primeros sobrenombres que otorgó fue a Luis García al llamarlo Doctor García. A pesar de que el ex futbolista no tiene ninguna relación con la medicina, Martinoli lo nombró así. Otro apodo se lo dio a Jorge Campos pues en lugar de llamarlo Brody le puso el Inmortal por su legado en el fútbol.

Finalmente a Zague, después de una polémica filtración, Martinoli sugirió la frase de impresionanti cada que Luis Roberto Alves daba su análisis.

Florida GOP candidate reveals why ‘amazing’ fundraising haul and key Trump moves suggest midterm ‘optimism’

Published

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Scott Singer, the former Republican mayor of Boca Raton and a candidate for Congress in Florida, is touting a significant campaign fundraising haul while outlining to Fox News Digital the reasons why he believes there is reason for optimism for the GOP in November.

Singer’s first-quarter fundraising numbers in the 2026 cycle showed him significantly outraising incumbent Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, along with slightly more cash on hand, despite being a first-time candidate.

As a result of Florida’s new redistricting push, Singer recently announced he will be running in the redrawn 25th congressional district, and it is unclear which district Moskowitz will decide to run in, but Singer tells Fox News Digital he is «very pleased» with the financial support he’s gotten from almost 3,600 contributors

«We’re very pleased that we had an amazing fundraising quarter, one of the best of any Republican challenger in the nation,» Singer said. «I think it’s going well because people are really enthused about our candidacy. I think people are ready for change. They’re upset with the progress of Congress.»

GOP LAWMAKER RALLIES AROUND TRUMP’S TAX-CUT CAMPAIGN AS COMPETITIVE 2026 HOUSE RACE LOOMS: ‘BIG ISSUE’

With most pundits predicting a tough time for Republicans in the upcoming midterms as they attempt to hold a razor-thin majority in the House and tight majority in the Senate along with historical headwinds, Singer says he sees «great reason for optimism» as he campaigns in his race.

 «We have a strong economy, the strongest we’ve had in years, record growth in GDP inflation before the latest blip, which is temporary because of the Iran conflict,» Singer explained. «Inflation was at the lowest level we had for years and voters understand that it was the one unchecked runaway inflation under President Biden that put us in this situation.»

VOTERS SAY REPUBLICANS OUTDO DEMOCRATS ON THESE KEY ISSUES: FOX NEWS POLL

Singer continued, «President Trump and the administration have done so much to bring prices down across the board, and cutting regulations will continue to do that. The biggest tax cut in American history is reaching American taxpayers right now, with huge refunds going to individuals and the average refund for 12 million small businesses of $7,000 and that was done with every Democrat in Congress voting against it.»

Singer told Fox News Digital the GOP is now the «party of the middle» class thanks to tax-cutting policies for tips and overtime, and said he believes those «real benefits» will continue to take effect over the next year.

«I think people are going to be more optimistic,» Singer said. «If you look at so many objective indicators and not the panic that some media outlets put out there, things are great and when you interview voters and ask them about policies, they lean more to the right. They support the Republican agenda. That’s why I feel very optimistic, and I think other candidates, if we focus on the agenda and less on what the media would have us buy into comments about personality, it really affects what we’re doing on paychecks and what we are doing on the border.»

Republicans currently hold a razor-thin majority in the U.S. House of Representatives heading into the 2026 midterms, one of the narrowest controlling margins in nearly a century, with Democrats widely believed to be holding an edge, especially given the party in power historically sees losses in midterm elections.

Aggressive redistricting by both parties in states across the country has complicated the situation even further.

Democrats have been hammering President Trump and the Republican Party on high gas prices and the economy, and a spokesperson for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee pushed back on the Republican agenda in a statement to Fox News Digital.

«Florida Republicans knew they couldn’t win on their cost-raising, billionaire-first, wildly unpopular agenda that’s crushing working families and small businesses, which is why they’re desperate to gerrymander the maps and rig the midterms,» DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre said. «Any Republican who claims the GOP’s price-spiking policies are popular only proves the fact they have no idea what voters are feeling right now.»
