Opinion: Pence-Trump divide defines today’s Republican Party conundrum

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:06:20 GMT

Maybe it is because I am preparing to launch one of my children off to college, but I have been thinking a lot about inflection points in life. The Republican Party is also at one of those points. The party, like my daughter, needs to decide what it wants to be and whether it wants to win. But unlike my daughter, I am afraid there will be no turning back for the GOP once it chooses its fate.This critical juncture provides an opportunity for Republican primary voters. While voters may love Donald Trump and feel he is being politically persecuted, they should consider two things and one other person; three GOP election-cycle losses, potential exhaustion from the electorate if Trump’s legal woes continue, and former Vice President Mike Pence.While Pence has yet to enter the race, he has been in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina offering a vision for the country and the party based on values and policies, all the while strategically not attacking the former president or demeaning h...

Guardiola says Walker cannot play in City’s current system

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:06:20 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Kyle Walker is set to have only limited game time at Manchester City for the rest of the season because manager Pep Guardiola said the England right back is ill-equipped to play in the team’s new system.Guardiola has been playing a three-man defense, pushing one of the full backs in a central-midfield role alongside Rodri. That has been John Stones in recent weeks, meaning Walker — who isn’t as technically strong on the ball — has mostly been a substitute despite being a key member of City’s success in recent years.“He cannot do it,” Guardiola said of Walker playing as an inverted full back. “He will always have pace. He will be the fastest in this room at 60 years old. To play inside, you have to make some educated movements. He has other characteristics.“He has played as a full back coming inside in the past with four in the back, with Joao (Cancelo) or Aleks (Zinchenko) in that position, and Kyle has done it really well. But with this shape ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:06:20 GMT

(CNN) — A muchas personas les resulta difícil aceptar la idea de hacer ejercicio regularmente, aunque saben que es bueno para su salud física y mental.

Parents, 5 children forced to jump from window to escape Brockton blaze

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:06:20 GMT

Two parents from Brockton are recalling the terrifying moment they and their five children were forced to leap from a second-floor window as a fast-moving fire raced through the multi-family home they live in late Friday night.Crews responding to reported structure fire on Montello Street around 11 p.m. found heavy flames and smoke pouring out of the building. Witnesses said the fire spread so quickly that some people inside didn’t have time to escape.“I just feel numb, but I’m glad my kids are out,” said Myriam Legramb, who was forced to leap from a second-floor window after lowering down her kids.The father said he first checked a door downstairs but realized that was not an option and decided to break a window.“I jumped out and I said to them throw, throw, you’ve got to jump!” he recalled, adding he caught his kids and “broke their fall as best I could.” All five of their children, including their 3- and 2-year-old, are safe a...

How Disney maneuvered to save its Florida kingdom, leaving DeSantis threatening retaliation

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:06:20 GMT

(CNN) — In his yearlong battle with Disney, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has repeatedly leaned on the element of surprise in his attempts to outmaneuver the entertainment giant and its army of executives, high-priced lawyers and politically connected lobbyists.“Nobody can see this coming,” DeSantis told a top Republican legislative leader as they planned a move against Disney last year, he recalled in his new book.But when Disney finally struck back and thwarted, for now, a DeSantis-led state takeover of its long-standing special taxing district, it was the Republican governor who was seemingly caught off guard. The same February morning Disney pushed through an agreement with the district’s outgoing board that secured control of its development rights for decades to come, DeSantis had declared to cameras and supporters, “There’s a new sheriff in town.”Now, weeks after DeSantis signed legislatio...

Bob Raissman: Unlike Leon Rose, Donovan Mitchell can’t hide from the media spotlight of Knicks-Cavs playoff series

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:06:20 GMT

The downtime between the Knicks playing out the regular season and their first-round playoff meeting with Cleveland, gives pontificators more time to set expectation levels while turning Donovan Mitchell into the Garden’s Public Enemy No. 1.How exactly did that work out for the Knicks when fans, and Valley of the Stupid Gasbags, targeted Atlanta’s Trae Young two years ago in the playoffs, turning him into Knicks Kryptonite?Cats, like Stephen A. Smith, who is still moaning over the Knicks’ inability to bring Mitchell to the Drecka last summer, view the Cleveland series as a referendum on the “wisdom” of not pulling off a deal with Utah, leaving the door open for the Cavs to finalize a blockbuster trade to acquire the star guard.As if he needed more motivation to succeed in the playoffs, media focus on Mitchell will only serve to sharpen his edge. Yet, unfortunately, unlike Knicks prez Leon Rose, there is no place for Mitchell to hide.Mitchell will be und...

Unemployment fell to 3.5% under Biden. For how much longer?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:06:20 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden keeps seeing good economic news and bad public approval ratings. The unemployment rate fell to 3.5% in March. More than 236,000 jobs were added. But there has been no political payoff for the president.US. adults are skipping past the jobs numbers and generally feeling horrible about the economy. White House aides can list plenty of reasons for the pessimism: high inflation, the hangover from the pandemic and the political polarization that leaves Republicans automatically believing the economy is sour under a Democratic president.Going forward, an emerging challenge for Biden might be the expectation that unemployment will get much worse this year.This is the opinion of the Federal Reserve, which expects the jobless rate to hit 4.5%. And the Congressional Budget Office (5.1%). Even the proposed budget that Biden just put forth models an increase (4.3%) from the current rate. Many Wall Street analysts are, likewise, operating under the shorthand...
