By Colleen Long and Zeke Miller | Associated PressVALLEY FORGE, Pa. — President Joe Biden warned Friday that Donald Trump’s efforts to retake the White House in 2024 pose a grave threat to the country, the day before the third anniversary of the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol by then-President Trump’s supporters aiming to keep him in power.Speaking near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, where George Washington and the Continental Army spent a bleak winter nearly 250 years ago, Biden said that Jan. 6 2021, marked a moment where “we nearly lost America — lost it all.” He said the presidential race — a likely rematch with Trump, who is the far and away GOP frontrunner — is “all about” whether American democracy will survive.The speech, the president’s first political event of the election year, was intended to clarify the expected choice for voters this fall.

Ahead of Warriors return, James Wiseman harbors no resentment

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:07:17 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Breaking the huddle inside the cramped gymnasium tucked inside the Detroit Pistons’ posh hotel, James Wiseman’s seven-foot frame strode toward a group of reporters on the sideline, slunk against the wall and slid down to the court, beginning to remove his bright green sneakers.In about eight hours, Wiseman’s name will be announced over the loudspeakers across town, where the former No. 2 overall pick will play his first game against the team that drafted him, failed to develop him, then sent him packing almost 11 months ago, to the day.If there was any ounce of resentment, any inclination to exact revenge on the court later that night, it didn’t come across from Wiseman, whose youthful face offered a reminder that he still is only 22 years old, wearing his nappy black hair in the same messy afro he had when the Warriors traded him to Detroit last February.“It’s a business,” Wiseman said, crouched on the ground. “It feel...

In particular, Fualaau is not happy that the director, screenwriter and actors failed to consult him before making the movie.“I’m offended by the entire project and the lack of respect given to me — who lived through a real story and is still living it,” Fualaau told THR.Fualaau could also be concerned that the film has prompted renewed interest in his scand...
