Political ‘swatting’ incidents may prompt heavier penatlies

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:47:12 GMT

By Jeff Amy | Associated PressATLANTA — A spate of false reports of shootings at the homes of public officials in recent days could be setting the stage for stricter penalties against so-called swatting in more states.U.S. Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Georgia U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost have been among the victims.Several Georgia lawmakers targeted say they want increased penalties for swatting, like laws enacted this year in Ohio and Virginia. Similar bills are pending in other states and Congress.Here’s a look at the issue and what could be done about it:WHAT IS ‘SWATTING’?Swatting is the act of making a prank call to emergency services to prompt a response at a particular address. The goal is to get authorities, particularly a SWAT team, to show up.Calls in multiple states in recent days featured the voice of a man calling himself “Jamal,” claiming he had shot his wife because she was ...

Analysis: Jets limping to finish line of another season filled with losses and disappointment

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:47:12 GMT

One more game.That’s all that’s left in a season that went terribly wrong for the New York Jets just as it was getting started. And it’s ending just about how most thought it would when Aaron Rodgers tore his left Achilles tendon four snaps into his regular-season debut with the team — with lots of losses and disappointment.The Jets (6-10) clinched their fourth straight season of double-digit defeats with a 37-20 drubbing in Cleveland on Thursday night. “I got a chance, obviously, to watch it on the plane and again this morning,” coach Robert Saleh said Friday. “Pretty much what we thought coming out of the game.”Translation: It was an uncharacteristically rough first half for the defense, which came in ranked No. 3 overall but allowed Joe Flacco to carve it up as the Browns raced to a 20-7 lead in the first quarter and 34-17 at halftime. “Defensively, the first quarter, just a little bit off,” Saleh said. “It just wasn’t like us, in terms of from a precision stand...

Estos fueron algunos de los peores destinos de 2023 por el exceso de turistas. Cómo evitar las multitudes el año que viene

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:47:12 GMT

(CNN) — Tras varios años de declive inducido por la pandemia, el sector de los viajes no solo está de vuelta, sino en pleno auge. Según el Consejo Mundial de Viajes y Turismo, se espera que el sector recaude unos US$ 9,5 billones en 2023, un 95% más que antes de la pandemia.En ningún lugar es más evidente este auge que en los destinos turísticos más populares del mundo, muchos de los cuales han registrado cifras récord de visitantes en el último año.Estos aumentos pueden ser beneficiosos para las economías locales y las empresas hosteleras, pero también conllevan notables desventajas: aumento del ruido, la contaminación, el tráfico y la presión sobre los recursos públicos; una menor calidad de vida para los residentes; y una experiencia inferior para los visitantes, por nombrar algunas.No es de extrañar que muchos imanes turísticos de todo el mundo, incluidos varios centros europeos, hayan creado iniciativas y restricciones destinadas a combatir los problemas del turismo exces...

Trump ha quedado fuera de la boleta electoral en dos estados. ¿Puede postularse aún a la presidencia?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:47:12 GMT

Primero, la Corte Suprema de Colorado falló que el expresidente Donald Trump no era elegible en ese estado para postularse de nuevo a la Casa Blanca. Luego, la secretaria de Estado de Maine determinó lo mismo para su región. ¿Quién será el próximo?Ambas decisiones son históricas. El máximo tribunal de Colorado fue el primero en aplicar a un aspirante a candidato a la presidencia una inusual prohibición constitucional contra quienes “hayan tomado parte en una insurrección”. La secretaria de Estado de Maine, demócrata, fue la primera alta funcionaria electoral en sacar unilateralmente de las boletas a un aspirante amparándose en esa disposición.Pero ambas decisiones están en pausa mientras se desenvuelve el proceso judicial.Eso significa que Trump permanece en las boletas en Colorado y Maine y que su destino político se encuentra ahora en manos de la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos. El fallo de Maine probablemente nunca entre en vigor por sí solo. Su principal impacto es incrementar l...

Eagle Pass, Texas (CNN) — The crisis at the US-Mexico border continues, with a migrant surge overwhelming authorities and border towns and other US cities. Here are some of the latest developments:The migrant crisis could ‘crush local economies’Even US cities far from the Mexican border are reaching a breaking point trying to manage the influx of migrants, several mayors told CNN on Friday.Since last year, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has bused more than 80,000 migrants to cities across the country, according to his office. Those cities include Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City and Washington, DC – all of which are led by Democratic mayors.“The international crisis that we are experiencing right now is being subsidized by local economies,” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson told “CNN This Morning” Friday.“That is not sustainable, and that’s why we need Congress to actually have appropriations to make sure that what refugees from Ukraine receive, we have ...

Finally Clearing Out

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:47:12 GMT

The last few days have been all about the clouds, drizzle, fog, and showers. In the short term (as in tonight into tomorrow morning) that will continue to be the case. If you are heading out tonight, expect more clouds, drizzle, and fog, much like we had today. A rogue light shower is possible, but what’s out there is hardly umbrella worthy now and it will stay that way tonight. With the clouds locked overhead, temperatures won’t drop very far, falling to the upper 30s and near 40° overnight.Tomorrow is our improvement day. That improvement won’t happen until late in the day so when you wake up on Saturday morning, expect more low clouds with some drizzle, and that rogue light shower. It’ll stay that way until about noon, when we finally will punch some drier air in. It’s a slow process, so first we’ll get rid of the drizzle, then the clouds. Any hope of the clouds thinning out and showing a few peeks of sun will be mid to late afternoon — l...
