Biden to visit fire-ravaged Maui on Monday as search efforts continue

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:36:03 GMT

(CNN) — President Joe Biden will journey Monday to fire-ravaged Maui to witness up close the devastation left by an inferno more than a week ago and assess for himself a government response that some residents initially found lacking.Monday’s trip will bring Biden to the scene of the deadliest American wildfire in more than 100 years. His initial response to the Maui wildfires drew criticism earlier this month, mainly from Republicans, who seized upon a lengthy period of public silence from the White House as the death toll rose.With hundreds of people still unaccounted for, the death toll is still expected to rise, as emergency responders and cadaver dogs search through the incinerated wasteland for victims. Biden is planning to name a senior federal emergency official to oversee long-term recovery efforts during his visit.The trip will provide Biden an opportunity to demonstrate in-person compassion for a community shaken by the disaster, and to dispel some of the early backlash a...

Spain rails against football chief who kissed World Cup winner on the lips

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:36:03 GMT

Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales is under fire for “sexual violence” on Monday, after kissing a victorious Spain player on the lips after the Women’s World Cup final on Sunday. As the Spanish players were presented with their gold medals by FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Rubiales — who kissed and vigorously hugged multiple Spanish players during the ceremony — tightly gripped Jenni Hermoso’s head in his hands and planted a kiss on her lips. In Instagram Live footage from Spain’s locker room celebrations, Hermoso said that she “didn’t like it.” And Spain’s left-wing politicians went much further. Equality Minister Irene Montero, from the left-wing Podemos party, said: “Let’s not take it for granted that kissing without consent is something that ‘happens.’ It is a form of sexual violence that we women suffer on a daily basis and until now invisible, and that we cannot normalize. It is the task of socie...

Summery Start

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:36:03 GMT

What a day we had for ourselves yesterday as sunshine won out, and temps topped off in the low to mid 80s with the humidity in check. With so many unsettled days this summer, it was great to sneak in a fantastic pool/beach day over the weekend. Can we do it again today? Sort of. The temps run back into the mid to even a few upper 80s, so no doubt it’ll be warm. It’ll be more humid too with dew points sliding back into the mid 60s. We’ll have more clouds today, filtering and fading the sun at times and after 3pm, it’s fair game for a few isolated to scattered showers/rumble of thunder to pop up too. About 30% of us will pick up a shower/storm, and most of them will be brief. That means if you’re planning that pool or beach day, most of the day turns out dry, get keep an eye out for that possible brief interruption late afternoon. Those scattered showers/storm will be ahead of a cold front that slips through overnight tonight. On the other side of that f...

Patriots-Packers film review: Mac Jones makes subtle progress and 29 more takeaways

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:36:03 GMT

If the Patriots allow Mac Jones to face pressure at the rate he did Saturday against the Packers, there’s a non-zero chance he will finish the season in a hospital bed.But if Jones stares down that pressure, and beats it with the regularity he managed in Green Bay, the Pats should be playoff-bound.This is the place Bill O’Brien’s offense finds itself through two preseason games: caught between the hope of Jones’ improvement under new coaching and the harsh reality that another free rusher is just around the corner. Both of the sacks Jones took in Saturday’s exhibition killed drives. Packers edge-rusher Kingsley Enagbare strong-armed his way into Jones’ lap on the first, then cracked him from behind with no notice on the second.But around those sacks, Jones went 3-of-4 for 45 yards against pressure, per the Herald’s charting. On his final series, Jones hit rookie receiver Demario Douglas to convert on third-and-10, then lofted a 17-yard compl...
