Manhunt underway after 1 killed and 5 injured in Ohio warehouse shooting

Police reported early Wednesday that a shooting at a warehouse in Ohio had left at least one person dead and five others injured, sparking a manhunt. Greg Jones, the chief of the New Albany Police Department, stated at a press conference that they now have a person of interest and are working to find and apprehend them. According to him, some 150 people were evacuated to a nearby building because the massive warehouse had a sizable overnight crew. Many of them were unaware of what had transpired.

Trump is talking tougher toward Putin but has yet to ratchet up assistance to Ukraine

Washington The relationship between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin has notably cooled off in the new administration, but Trump has not yet indicated how much pressure he will put on Russia to stop its grueling conflict with Ukraine. Trump has made no mention of Putin's strategic "genius" or skill since he became office. Trump has made a dramatic change in language, warning that the Russian ruler he once referred to as "very smart" is destroying his nation by dragging out the conflict. On his first day back in the White House, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he [Putin] should strike a deal. I believe that by refusing to make a deal, Putin is ruining Russia. Russia is going to have serious problems, in my opinion. The frostier tone has a rather straightforward ex...

Spanish ministers agree to cut legal working week to 37.5 hours

Madrid Despite objections from employers' associations, Spanish ministers decided on Tuesday to implement one of the coalition government's major policies: reducing the legal working week to 37.5 hours without affecting salaries. Labor Minister Yolanda Diaz, the leader of the hard-left party Sumar, wrote an executive decree proposing the reduction from the existing 40 hours, which the cabinet accepted during its weekly meeting. Diaz told reporters, "This proposal is about living better, working less, and being much more productive and efficient economically." In parliament, where the center-left government of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez lacks a clear majority and must balance the demands of multiple smaller parties to pass legislation, the bill still needs to be passed. The pr...

Baseball meetup helps a group of dads stitch life back together after L.A. fires

California (ARCADIA). Out of Brian Gardner's baseball bats, just one made it through the Eaton Fire. But he only required that. The 48-year-old Gardner picked up the bat and prepared to hit. He was informed to anticipate a heater. He laughed, "I call it a fastball, not a heater." One of my new trigger words is "heater." He and eight other guys had met up to play in a park in Arcadia on a Sunday afternoon with clear skies. Before the Eaton Fire tore through their neighborhood in Altadena three weeks prior, uprooting them all from their tight-knit community in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, they were performing a weekly routine for a few hours. Even Gardner's home bar, which contained over 1,000 bottles of whiskey, was burned to ashes. Additionally, he lost a Cadillac Eldora...

Texas man set to be executed for killing a pastor in his own church

Wednesday was the second scheduled execution in the United States this year for a Texas man convicted of choking and assaulting a pastor in the Dallas region in his own church during a heist.

Republican-led states rush to align with Trump’s MAGA agenda

Republican state legislators and governors are racing to openly support or emulate some of the most notable moves made by President Donald Trump since taking office. In recent weeks, elected Republican politicians have gathered in state legislatures throughout the nation to push measures that would support Trump's plans for mass deportations, some of which are named after or expressly mention the president. Furthermore, at least eleven states' governors and lawmakers have tried to establish their own versions of the Department of Government Efficiency, the external advisory body that Trump appointed tech billionaire Elon Musk to lead in order to identify ways to reduce federal spending. The actions taken at the beginning of Trump's second term, which are mostly concentrated in areas that a...

How Andy Reid became one of the NFL’s best coaches ever

Keeping the six young graduate assistants on staff in line was one of Mike Holmgren's duties as Brigham Young University's assistant football coach in 1982. He soon came to appreciate one in particular, Andy Reid, a 24-year-old Southern California offensive tackle who had previously played for BYU. Reid was a terrific listener, took a lot of notes, and was loved by Holmgren, who was ten years older, because of his combination of football curiosity and self-effacement. According to Holmgren, we became buddies. He would visit my home for lunch. He assisted me in setting up a playground for my children in the backyard. It was a lot of fun, and they were young at the time. The traits that Holmgren saw in Reid during his first year of coaching have helped Reid develop a much larger case to be ...
