US lawmakers condemn French President Macron’s ‘betrayal’ of Taiwan

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:08:45 GMT

France’s president shocked Washington over the weekend when he argued that Europe shouldn’t get sucked into a U.S. confrontation with China over Taiwan. Now the GOP is hitting back hard and the Biden administration is trying to play down the comments.French President Emmanuel Macron questioned whether “it is in our interest to accelerate [a crisis] on Taiwan” for fear of a “Chinese overreaction” in an interview with POLITICO on Saturday. He added that the “worst thing” that Europe could do would be to “take our cue from the U.S. agenda” geared to defending Taiwan.Chinese state media has reacted gleefully. Macron’s statement “signals a dead end for the U.S. strategy of luring Europe to contain China,” Beijing’s Global Times tabloid said on Monday.Republicans on Capitol Hill sounded equally as dire.“The Chinese Communist Party is the most significant challenge to Western society, our economic security, and our way of life…France must be clear-eyed about this threat,” said Se...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:08:45 GMT

CLEVELAND — Luis Severino shared a surprising update Monday after throwing a bullpen at Progressive Field, his first since suffering a low-grade lat strain on his right side late in spring training.Don’t worry Yankees fans; Severino felt fine after the 22-pitch session, which incorporated the right-hander’s entire arsenal. The surprise — even to Aaron Boone — was that that repertoire included a splitter that Severino has been working on.Severino didn’t say much else about the new pitch, but that wasn’t his top priority on Monday.“Location and stuff are not there, but I’m not worried about that,” he said of his overall bullpen. “Was more worried about my health.”Severino said that he hasn’t felt any pain in his lat since about a week after sustaining the injury. Next steps will be based on how Severino feels Tuesday, but he hopes to throw another bullpen in two or three days.“First thing was getting t...

Was the Broward death of Pittsburgh Steeler QB intentional? Family lawsuit says NFL player was drugged

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:08:45 GMT

The death of former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins, Jr. may not have been quite the accident officials thought it was last year, according to a lawsuit filed in Broward circuit court .Haskins, 24, died on April 9, 2022, on Interstate 595, struck and killed by a dump truck near Fort Lauderdale’s airport as he appeared to be seeking assistance after running out of gas. The Broward Medical Examiner’s Office determined that his death was an accident. No one has been charged with any crime in connection with Haskins’ death.But the lawsuit filed on March 23, 2023, on behalf of Haskins’ wife, Kalabrya Haskins, raises questions about why the dump truck driver didn’t see him and why Haskins was as drunk as he was at the time of his death. “It is believed that Dwayne was targeted and drugged as part of a blackmail and robbery conspiracy,” said his attorney, Rick Ellsley. “In fact, his highly expensive watch was stolen from him sh...

Gas prices in Massachusetts jumped seven cents a gallon higher over the past week, according to AAA.The average gas price is $3.34 per gallon, which is 4 cents higher than a month ago and 78 cents lower than this time last year.“OPEC’s announcement that it will cut production by over a million barrels per day took the oil market by surprise,” AAA said in a statement. “In response, crude immediately surged well above $80 a barrel, although it has since struggled to stay above that mark.”High prices for gas and goods and services have been keeping pressure on household and business budgets, leading the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in an attempt to slow inflation. Efforts to reduce the Massachusetts gas tax faltered last year on Beacon Hill, where legislative leaders are contemplating a new run at tax relief this spring.Stocks end mixed after holidayStocks were mixed on Wall Street Monday in their first trading after a report heightened speculat...
