(CNN) — El presidente de Rusia, Vladimir Putin, advirtió que existe un “grave peligro” de que la OTAN se vea arrastrada aún más a la guerra de Ucrania si los miembros de la alianza siguen suministrando armamento militar a Kyiv.“La OTAN, por supuesto, está siendo arrastrada a la guerra en Ucrania, ¿de qué estamos hablando aquí?”, dijo Putin en el Foro Económico Internacional de San Petersburgo este viernes.“Los suministros de armamento militar pesado a Ucrania están en curso, ahora están estudiando la posibilidad de dar a Ucrania los jets”.El comentario parecía ser una referencia a los aviones de combate F-16 que algunos miembros de la alianza de la OTAN están planeando suministrar a Ucrania.La OTAN, u Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte, se formó tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial para defender a las naciones occidentales de la Unión Soviética, y la alianza contiene una cláusula de defensa mutua por la que un ataque a uno de sus miembro...

UEFA president Čeferin dismisses idea of threat to European soccer from big-spending Saudis

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:18:52 GMT

GENEVA (AP) — European soccer should not be afraid of a player exodus to Saudi Arabian clubs, UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin said Sunday, suggesting the country was making a mistake investing in stars at the end of their careers.Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema have taken hundreds of millions of dollars to join Saudi Arabian clubs this year and similar offers were made to Lionel Messi and Luka Modrić. They have combined to win every Ballon d’Or awarded since 2008 and all are aged at least 35.More players are expected to follow after four top Saudi Arabian clubs were effectively nationalized this month when taken into majority ownership by the Public Investment Fund sovereign wealth operation chaired by Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.Čeferin was asked by Netherlands broadcaster NOS if he was scared of a player exodus, and answered emphatically: “No, no, no.”“I think that it’s mainly a mistake for Saudi Arabian football,” the UEFA president said in an interview bro...

More Storms this Sunday

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:18:52 GMT

Our Sunday morning is off to a stormy start in spots across South Florida with a batch of electrifying storms moving across portions of metro South Florida. Similar as yesterday, expect to see storms to come through in rounds on this Father’s Day, with our first round of the day happening around the 6-9AM period this morning. Then we should see a lull with more sunshine, heating up temperatures to the upper 80s to low 90s in many spots. It’s not until the mid-afternoon hours when another round of storms, some of which could be strong to severe, is expected to move in from the north. Some of this rain will be heavy and could lead to flooding in spots. Then by the evening, there will still be some lingering storms but conditions will gradually improve by then.Meanwhile in the Florida Keys, few storms are expected and more sunshine, so a Heat Advisory is in effect once again today with feels-like temperatures up to 108-112F.More wet weather is ahead for the upcoming week wi...

Blinken begins high-stakes talks in China amid rising tensions between world’s two superpowers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:18:52 GMT

Beijing (CNN) — US Secretary of State Antony Blinken kicked off talks with senior Chinese officials in Beijing Sunday at the start of a high-stakes visit meant to steer relations back on course after months of inflamed tensions between the world’s two largest economies.Blinken is the first secretary of state to travel to China in five years and the most senior US official to make such a mission since President Joe Biden took office in early 2021.Observers will be closely watching for whether a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping is on the cards. Previous trips by America’s top diplomat have often involved a face to face with China’s top leader, but relations are at their lowest in decades.Officials from both governments have signaled low expectations for the visit, with a senior State Department official telling reporters earlier this week that he does not expect “a long list of deliverables.”Instead, US officials are framing the trip as an effort to resu...

Howie Carr: Democrats 2024 campaign roadmap could be ‘another pandemic’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:18:52 GMT

Being a COVID dictator means never having to say you’re sorry, or even that you were wrong.They still won’t apologize. The Democrat hacks and frauds in the white lab coats refuse to concede that they concocted an utterly avoidable catastrophe, perhaps the most disastrous in American history.They gleefully ruined millions of lives and businesses for one simple goal — getting rid of Donald Trump as president.The problem was never the Red Chinese-created virus itself. That was manageable, obviously. The ongoing fiasco was created by the overreaction to the virus.It gave the Deep State the excuse to what they’d long been fantasizing about for so long in their Marxist ivory towers and think tanks — drastically curtailing the liberties of the American people.As Jane Fonda so famously put it: “COVID is God’s gift to the left.”And it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Or so the comrades hope.Just last week, Dementia Joe Biden made it clear what happens next:“There will be another pandemic,” h...

Newton man remembers wife, whose body parts may have been sold in Harvard Medical School scandal

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:18:52 GMT

Jack Porter received a very troubling letter on Wednesday from Harvard, his employer, saying that his beloved late wife Raya’s remains “may have been impacted” in a body part trafficking operation.“What bothers me is that there’s somebody in some basement somewhere in this country or elsewhere fondling my wife’s body parts,” Porter told the Herald. “It could be her brain, her skin, her bones. This is disgusting and this is why there should be a severe punishment.”The shocking letter came the same day that a former employee, Cedric Lodge, 55, of Harvard Medical School’s Anatomical Gifts program — which receives bodies donated to the university to teach medical students anatomy — had been indicted in federal court in Pennsylvania on charges related to stealing and then selling organs and other parts of human bodies before they were to be cremated. In all, seven people were named in court papers as participants in the ring.“We have been working with information supplied by federal auth...

Mali’s military junta holds referendum on new constitution that it calls a step toward new elections

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:18:52 GMT

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Malian voters cast ballots on a new draft constitution Sunday in a referendum that the country’s coup leader says will pave the way toward holding new elections in 2024, but that critics have called a delaying tactic for him to extend his time in power.In a message broadcast on state television on the eve of the vote, Col. Assimi Goita told Malians that the proposed draft constitution “provides for a better-organized executive power, while maintaining the necessary balance with the legislative power.”However, Imam Mahmoud Dicko, an opponent of the military junta, invited his supporters to a large hall in Bamako on Friday to ask them to vote against it. “In our country today, can we speak of justice, democracy, human rights, the rule of law? What kind of democracy are we talking about? Where is it? What rule of law is there in a country where justice is used by the military to repress people? That’s the reality of this country today,” said Dicko, a one-time ...

Netanyahu says will move ahead on contentious judicial overhaul plan after talks crumble

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:18:52 GMT

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday his government intends to move ahead on contentious plans to change the country’s judicial system after talks aimed at finding a compromise solution appeared to be crumbling.The government’s plans to overhaul the judiciary plunged Israel into one of its worst domestic crises ever earlier this year. Negotiations between the government and opposition parties somewhat alleviated the crisis with attempts to find a middle ground over proposed changes to the country’s justice system. Those talks were jolted last week over a crisis surrounding the powerful regular committee responsible for picking the country’s judges. Opposition leaders said negotiations were frozen until the committee is formed. At a meeting of his Cabinet on Sunday, Netanyahu said the opposition wasn’t negotiating seriously and that his government would move ahead cautiously on the overhaul.“We will begin, this week, practica...
