Howie Carr: Biden’s tall tales even stump loyal lefties

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:35:26 GMT

Stop the presses! The Washington Post broke a bombshell story about Dementia Joe Biden yesterday.“Biden loves to tell certain stories. Some aren’t credible.”Now they tell us! Better late than never, I suppose. And at least this Post story goes against the grain of most of their “reporting” – it’s true, for one thing, unlike, say, their “deeply reported” stories about the Russian collusion hoax, which were all false.But to commemorate the Post’s belated realization that Biden is full of you-know-what, let’s go straight to the audiotape from his recent appearances.As always, all dialogue guaranteed verbatim.First, as he came out Wednesday to speak to the press, news broke of Sen. Mitch McConnell’s latest “freeze.”“I just heard literally coming out,” he said. “Mitch is a friend as you know – not a joke… I don’t know enough to know.”Isn’t that the truth?This came just before he began an incoherent discussion of the wildfires in Hawaii, which he called “storms.”“Well, but by the way, you...

White man will stand trial for shooting Black teen Ralph Yarl, who went to wrong house, judge rules

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:35:26 GMT

By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH (Associated Press)KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri judge ruled Thursday that the 84-year-old white homeowner who shot a Black teenager after he mistakenly went to the man’s house must stand trial. Clay County Judge Louis Angles issued the ruling after a dozen witnesses spoke at a preliminary hearing, including Ralph Yarl, the teenager who was shot by Andrew Lester on April 13 when Yarl went to the wrong house to pick up his younger brothers. Lester, a retired aircraft mechanic, is charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action. He previously pleaded not guilty in the shooting that shocked the country and renewed national debates about gun policies and race in America. His next court date is an arraignment, scheduled for Sept. 20.Yarl spoke softly as he testified that he was sent to pick up his twin siblings but had no phone — he’d lost it at school. The house he intended to go to was just blocks from his own home, but h...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California regulators on Thursday approved a controversial proposal to greatly increase storage capacity at the site of the nation’s largest known methane leak, which sickened thousands of families and forced them from their Los Angeles homes in 2015.Despite opposition from lawmakers and nearby residents, the California Public Utilities Commission voted 5-0 to permit underground storage of up to 68.6 billion cubic feet of gas at the vast Aliso Canyon field on the northern edge of Los Angeles County as a way to guard against fuel price spikes.That’s more than a 50% increase over the current cap at the Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Facility, which is slated to be closed in 2027. It’s also near the maximum capacity of 86 billion cubic feet but within safety standards set by another state agency.“This vote is a slap in the face to the community members who have been living with the ongoing consequences of the worst gas blowout in American history,” Andrea...

‘Human beings have always used substances’: Overdose Awareness Day aims to end overdose

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:35:26 GMT

International Overdose Awareness Day is marked on August 31 around the world, with an aim to end overdose, remember those lost and acknowledge the grief of family and friends.The campaign also promotes the de-stigmatization of drug use, which advocates say is at the heart of harm reduction philosophies.“Human beings have always used substances either to relax, to enlighten themselves, to party, to toast around dinner. It’s the stigmatization that prevents people from talking about their substance use, seeking help where they need it,” says Colin Johnson, co-chair of Toronto Harm Reduction Alliance (THRA).He says drug use is far more common than most people realize and a way of life for many.“The majority of people who use drugs don’t have issues with the authorities, they’re not impacted by the paramedics or the medical system,” he says. “People who use drugs are just like everybody else. You don’t know who they are in many cases...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:35:26 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A pair spinoffs of “The Walking Dead” and the next season of “Interview With the Vampire” can resume production despite the ongoing Hollywood strikes after reaching an agreement with the actors’ union. The three AMC series are the highest-profile television productions yet to get what’s known as an interim agreement from the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.The approval was granted Wednesday because the cable channel AMC and production company Stalwart Films are not part of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers — the coalition of studios the actors are striking against — though they are what’s known as “authorized companies” that abide by the contracts reached by the AMPTP. “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” and “Interview With the Vampire” will now resume shooting their second seasons. And the deal will allow actors to do post-production work on the first season of “The Walking Dead: Those Wh...
