Editorial: Support for bin Laden letter a wakeup call for U.S.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:22:12 GMT

“Never forget.”It’s the solemn reminder invoked every year on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America in 2001. The country united in shock, horror, fear and grief that day and in the months to follow as Osama bin Laden’s terror plan played out.The act was an abomination, as is, 22 years later, the viral spread and embrace of the al Qaeda leader’s “Letter to America” on TikTok.As the New York Times reported, Bin Laden’s letter, published a year after 9/11, defended the attacks in New York and Washington and said Americans had become “servants” to Jews, who he said controlled the country’s economy and media.Some TikTok users said last week that they viewed the document as an awakening to America’s role in global affairs and expressed their disappointment in the United States.One video with nearly 100,000 likes showed a TikTok user at her kitchen sink with the caption: “Trying to go back to life as normal after reading Osama bin La...

Peabody K Domenic Scalese makes every kick count

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:22:12 GMT

There’s a bit of a running joke in the family, or at least from grandfather Mike Cella, that Peabody star kicker Domenic Scalese is a café table and a cappuccino away from completing his relaxed persona on the sidelines.His parents, grandparents and 9-year-old sister make up a small army of super fans at just about every game. Football-adoring mother, Stephanie Scalese, can rattle off his milestones as a full-time supporter. They’ve all watched Domenic’s kicks this year as he reached 100 career points, shattered the school’s all-time kicking points record, tied a program-best 48-yard field goal, and helped the Tanners win their first playoff game since 2016.In between, though, they lovingly chuckle over Domenic’s almost nonchalant demeanor.It’s clear how tight-knit the family is, and Peabody’s most successful kicker has given his most loyal fans quite the show. It’s special. But while that’s not lost on Domenic, every single one of those points they cheered for this year were ...

Adam Sandler’s ‘Leo’ a surefire hit for Netflix

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:22:12 GMT

Is “Leo” better than Disney’s blockbuster wannabe “Wish?” Yes, while it doesn’t boast Disney’s lavish production values, Netflix’s memorable and colorful computer-animated musical comedy directed by Robert Marianetti, Robert Smigel and David Wachtenheim, all veterans of “Saturday Night Live,” is a small gem. Boasting Adam Sandler and Bill Burr voicing its two talking reptilian lead characters: a dyspeptic turtle named Squirtle who is a master of mean comedy (yes, Burr) and a Yoda-like tuatara lizard named Leo (Sandler), who finds his purpose in life by advising children and helping them get through life’s challenges.At first, a bitter Leo refers to the children in his class at Central Florida’s Fort Myers Elementary School as “fifth grade head cases” and does not have a lot of patience for them.But when he finds out that a lizard’s life expectancy is 75 years and that he is 74, Leo has a “old-life crisis,” and his heart softens. Squirtle and...

Puckrein: Will Medicaid’s proposed price rule harm patients?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:22:12 GMT

Medicaid is one of the largest — and most important — tools in the federal government’s arsenal to improve health equity. That’s why policymakers should be careful about making dramatic changes that could inadvertently decrease Medicaid beneficiaries’ access to care.Medicaid is a lifesaving resource for vulnerable Americans. Multiple states have reported that after expanding Medicaid eligibility, they experienced an aggregate decrease in all-cause mortality rates. Even without expansion, Medicaid has long been associated with improved self-reported health status and decreased infant, child and adult mortality rates.And the program’s reach is unrivaled. More than 85 million individuals are enrolled in Medicaid — that’s more than one in five Americans nationwide, four in 10 children, eight in 10 children in poverty, one in six adults, and almost half of adults in poverty. Relative to White children and adults, Medicaid covers a higher share of Black, Hispanic and Native American...

Dear Abby: My boss, who recently separated from her husband and is getting divorced, has moved within walking distance of work. The problem is, she can’t drive, and her daughter needs to be taken to and from school. I offered to help her out with her daughter, but now she’s asking me to take her everywhere she needs to go.I have been accommodating and have done this for a couple of months, but she has never offered me any money toward gas in my car even though she’s always bragging about all the things she has ordered off the internet. I never offered to be her chauffeur.I work third shift, which is hard enough, and have my own child to take care of during the day. How can I tell her it’s got to stop without hurting her feelings?

Wisconsin Supreme Court hearing arguments on redistricting that could result in new maps for 2024

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:22:12 GMT

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The liberal-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments Tuesday in a redistricting case that Democrats hope will result in new, more favorable legislative maps for elections in 2024 that will help them chip away at the large Republican majority. The case is being closely watched in battleground Wisconsin, a state where four of the past six presidential elections have been decided by fewer than 23,000 votes, but where Republicans have built large majorities in the Legislature under maps they drew over a decade ago.Democratic voters who filed the lawsuit being heard by the court Tuesday argue that the maps passed in 2022, which vary little from those drawn in 2011, are unconstitutionally “unsalvageable” and must be struck down and redrawn. The Legislature counters that Democrats are exercising “raw political power” and trying to take advantage of the new liberal majority on the court to overturn its 2021 ruling that adopted the current maps.T...

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Erin Mendenhall is seeking reelection as mayor of Utah’s capital Tuesday in a ranked-choice contest that includes a challenge by former Mayor Rocky Anderson.The third left-leaning choice for mayor is Michael Valentine, an activist and business owner.
