CITY OF MEXICO Jos Luis Escobar Hoyos, a teenage punk 35 years ago, wanted to prove to his mother that his way of life went beyond wearing spikes and chains and listening to loud, fast-paced music. Thus, on Three Kings Day, also called Epiphany, when children in Mexico usually get presents from the three wise men, he began a project called Kings Punks, where he gathered and gave toys to street children. As the gift drive got underway on Sunday night, the 50-year-old stated that unity and mutual support are the cornerstones of punk. Numerous volunteers have joined his endeavor throughout the years. Early on Monday, the punks distributed scooters, dinosaurs, and other gifts to kids in the streets of Mexico's capital while wearing black boots, glistening piercings, and black t-shirts from t...

The release of special counsel Jack Smith's report on his investigation was temporarily blocked Tuesday by an order granted by the federal court who presided over the case involving secret information against President-elect Donald Trump. Three days after the 11th Circuit rules on a current request to prevent the distribution of the report over a different case involving Trump co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos DeOliveira, the injunction will expire. In a motion filed Monday evening, attorneys for Nauta and De Oliveira cited U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon's earlier decision that Smith's appointment was unlawful in order to request that the report be blocked. She was acting "to preserve the status quo" until the higher court made a decision, according to Cannon. According to Herruling, ...

Tennessee's Nashville. After two seasons and a 9–25 record, general manager Ran Carthon was sacked by the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday. In January 2023, Carthon was named the Titans' first Black general manager. A year later, he assisted the team in hiring Brian Callahan as their next coach. After finishing 3-14 in 2024, Tennessee acquired its fourth overall No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, and now controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk, who fired general manager Jon Robinson in December 2022, will have another new general manager to help the team decide what to do with it. The hunt for a new general manager will be headed by Chad Brinker, president of football operations, according to Strunk. In a statement, Strunk stated that it was hard to deny that the Titans had not improved in the previous ...

Washington Additional As the nation prepares for a new Republican administration in which President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to remove birthright citizenship and mass deportations of migrants, Americans believe immigration should be a primary priority for the U.S. government in 2025. According to a December study by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, when asked to list up to five subjects they would want to see the government focus on this year, about half of American people mentioned immigration and border challenges. In an AP-NORC poll last year, roughly one-third of respondents cited the issue as a government priority. All demographics—Republicans and Democrats, men and women, and young and elderly adults—have become more concerned about immigration. H...

The release of a final report by special counsel Jack Smith that also handles the election meddling case was attempted to be blocked Monday by President-elect Donald Trump and his erstwhile co-defendants in the Florida classified papers case. Trump's two lawsuits have been dropped. In a motion filed Monday evening, the attorneys for defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira requested that U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon prevent Smith, the case's prosecutor, from releasing his findings. The judge's earlier decision that Smith's appointment was unconstitutional was cited. In order to achieve a single goal—convincing the public that everyone Smith charged is guilty of the crimes charged—the Final Report is expected to be biased and one-sided, relying almost entirely on evidence that was ...

Donald Trump Jr. is up against a large polar bear. In the most recent indication of the president-elect's intention to assume control of the enormous Arctic island, he arrived in icy Greenlandon on Tuesday aboard his father's Trump Force One private jet. However, the United States is in for a battle if the Danish king's most recent action is any indication. For the first time in over 500 years, King Frederik, who took over the Danish throne following Queen Margrethe II's abdication last year, altered the royal coat of arms. Historians saw this as a direct message to Greenland and possibly to Trump. In his New Year's speech, the king declared, "We are all united and each of us committed for the kingdom of Denmark," adding, "all the way to Greenland." The Danish territories of Greenland and ...

Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall of the San Francisco 49ers stated that he hopes to speak with the adolescent who shot and injured him in the future and that he forgives them. "I don't know how he grew up so, I can't judge him as a man just based off one action that he made," the 24-year-old rookie said in a Monday locker room interview that was posted on KNBRin. "As violent as a crime as it was, God forbid him doing that to somebody else." "I don t ever want that to happen so ... just being able to forgive him at the end of the day like, I have to be able to forgive him to have that weight off my chest," stated the man. In August, Pearsall was wounded in the chest during a robbery attempt in San Francisco. At the time, the suspect was a 17-year-old boy, according to the police. At a press con...

Fortunately, when a Taylor Swift clue appeared on the board, this "Jeopardy!" player didn't draw a blank space again. In an episode that aired Monday night, contestant Drew Goins correctly responded to a question about Swift, minutes after expressing his chagrin at having previously misunderstood a question about the most well-known performer in the world. The program is presently running a tournament called "Second Chance," which gives contestants who lost their first "Jeopardy!" appearance another chance to earn a spot in the franchise's "Tournament of Champions." Additionally, Goins mentioned in Monday night's player introduction segment how, much to the dismay of his Swiftie brother, who had prepared him on the subject, he failed to answer a question about Swift during his prior "Jeopa...

Beginning Tuesday, a severe windstorm has the potential to cause extensive damage and a high risk of fire across Southern California, and emergency services are prepared to respond in force. The storm started Tuesday afternoon and peaked early Wednesday, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a severe fire risk signal for portions of Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. In the foothills and mountains, winds will be higher than 60 mph, with gusts as high as 80 to 100 mph. Authorities are not taking any chances since the ideal circumstances for fire spread have been established by warm Santa Ana winds and extremely low humidity. California Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Monday that he will deploy 109 specialized staff, seven water tenders, seven helicopters, and 65 fire engines in ...
