Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:33:15 GMT

Former L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva announced his intention to run for a seat on the Board of Supervisors.Villanueva would run for the county’s 2024 4th district seat, which is currently held by Supervisor Janice Hahn.In response to Villanueva’s announcement, Supervisor Hahn pointed back to the former Sheriff’s re-election loss as evidence that voters did not want him in a position of power.“LA County voters — including District 4 — resoundingly rejected the man known as the ‘Donald Trump of LA County’ last November for his incompetence and corruption,” Hahn said in a statement. “LA County became less safe under Villanueva’s reign. He is a fraud and a failure, and LA County voters won’t be fooled again.”In 2022, Villanueva lost his re-election bid for sheriff against now Sheriff Robert Luna.During the election cycle, Villanueva was accused of being part of law enforcement gangs, accusations he said “fell apart” in courts d...

Kurtenbach: The Warriors need another center, but they don’t need Dwight Howard

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:33:15 GMT

The Warriors might need another center, but they don’t need Dwight Howard.The Warriors will reportedly bring in Howard for a visit next week. The eight-time NBA All-Star played in Taiwan last season, averaging 23.2 points per game, per Asia-Basket.com.But the big man the Warriors need is already in the NBA — not embarrassing himself in the Taiwanese league and begging for stateside attention every 20 minutes — and he just finished showing that he’s one of the best players in the world.I don’t know if you watched the FIBA World Cup this summer, it was on pretty early, but in an upset, Germany won the tournament, beating the USA in the semifinals and Serbia for the title.From my perspective, the standout player in the epic USA-Germany game was Pacers center Daniel Theis, whom you might remember from his time in Boston.We’ve long known that Theis is an undersized but rock-solid center. Watching him play the international game — and often as a power forward — was deepl...

We tried Arby’s new Venison-Elk-Beef Burger. Is it a wild-game winner?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:33:15 GMT

Arby’s has dreamed up a Big Game Burger that has nothing to do with a big football game.The star of this burger is game … wild game. For a limited time only, the restaurant group is offering a huge burger made with ground venison, elk and beef.It’s not the first time Arby’s has gone where no other fast-food chain ventures. In 2017, Arby’s sold a venison steak sandwich for one day only at all U.S. locations, and the special sold out quickly. The chain has also sold game in what it calls “hunting-centric” states like Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.Last year the restaurants sold a Wagyu burger blend, and the customer response was impressive, with the supply at some locations selling out early. That patty was a blend of 48% ground beef and 52% American Wagyu, which is a cross between Japanese Wagyu and top American cattle breeds.“We’re dedicated to crafting unique culinary experiences for our guests,” said Ellen Rose, chief marketing office...

Banning RVs near San Jose schools could be just the tip of the iceberg

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:33:15 GMT

When San Jose announced plans last month to ban RV dwellings near schools, that was just the beginning of potentially more laws to reign in the hundreds of vehicles parked along the city’s roadways — a growing problem that has enraged residents and led to a slew of public safety concerns.San Jose officials are exploring policies that include banning RVs from certain streets and sanctioning others who park on designated roads, increasing enforcement for street parking time limits and a permit system attached with a code of conduct, such as agreements that would ensure personal items are kept off the sidewalk.The restrictions on vehicles near schools — combined with the possibility of new enforcement laws — marks a new chapter in San Jose’s stance towards homelessness and falls in line with Mayor Matt Mahan’s tougher approach to combatting one of the Bay Area’s most intractable problems. Facing one of America’s most acute affordable hous...

Pentagon orders new interviews about Kabul airport attack

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:33:15 GMT

By Lolita C. Baldor | Associated PressWASHINGTON — The Pentagon’s Central Command has ordered interviews of roughly two dozen more service members who were at the Kabul airport when suicide bombers attacked during U.S. forces’ chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal, as criticism persists that the deadly assault could have been stopped.The interviews, ordered by Gen. Erik Kurilla, head of U.S. Central Command, were triggered in part by assertions by at least one service member injured in the blast who said he was never interviewed about it and that he might have been able to stop the attackers.The interviews are meant to see if service members who were not included in the original investigation, have new or different information.The decision, according to officials, does not reopen the administration’s investigation into the deadly bombing and the withdrawal two years ago. But the additional interviews will likely be seized on by congressional critics, mostly Republican, as...
