Letters: No compassion | Reagan’s ‘ideals’

Each survived only a few hours. This is a fatal anomaly, so what possible harm could there be in allowing an abortion in this case? And this doesn’t even include the woman’s maternal complications. Why do Texas politicians hate women so much and have so little compassion that they would not permit an abortion in such a case?I am so glad I live in California where the right to abortion is now enshrined in the state Constitution.

Did Pamela Price recall group exploit Oakland officer’s murder with fundraising thread?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:26:25 GMT

A war of words between Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price’s campaign and the group pushing for her ouster has raised questions about the ethics of exploiting violence in Oakland for political purposes — and the increasingly tense recall effort.On Tuesday, Price’s “Protect the Win” campaign group put out a statement decrying the recall group’s “reprehensible” efforts to fundraise in the aftermath of Oakland Police Officer Tuan Le’s killing. In the statement, they condemned a thread on X, formerly Twitter, in which the Recall Pamela Price account said that Officer Tuan Le’s death underscored the need for “rescinding failed policies.”In a second post, the recall account shared a link to the group’s website, which highlights a $100,000 donation drive.Le, 36, was shot and killed near Oakland’s waterfront last Friday while working a plainclothes burglary-suppression detail.William Fitzgerald, a spokesperson for the Protect the Win campaign, s...

USA Boxing new transgender athlete policy receives backlash

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:26:25 GMT

(NewsNation/KRON) — Updates to USA Boxing's rulebook have sparked criticism over the federation’s policy regarding transgender athletes. The policy was written in 2022 but added to the federation’s rulebook this week. It’s based on the November 2021 International Committee Framework on Fairness, Inclusion and Non-Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity and Sex Variations. That framework allows the international federation for each sport to determine transgender athletes' eligibility.“Since boxing’s IF (International Federation) has not determined transgender eligibility and boxing is considered a combat sport, USA Boxing’s overriding objective is the safety of all boxers and fair competition between all boxers,” USA Boxing wrote in an August 2022 release.Per the federation’s policy, minors must compete as the gender assigned to them at birth. The new USA Boxing rule will allow transgender women boxers to compete with cisgender women, which received backlash from many professi...

Marin County sheriff warns of 'jury duty' scam

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:26:25 GMT

(KRON) -- Scammers are targeting Marin County residents with bogus threats about failing to show up for jury duty.The Marin County Sheriff's Office wrote on Facebook Wednesday, "They are at it again! This time related to Jury Duty. We have had a rise in calls related to a phone scam, where someone pretends to be an MCSO staff member." Fraudsters tell whoever answers the phone that a warrant was issued for failing to show up to court for jury duty. The caller then demands money for a "fine," or demands payments via gift cards and other cashless forms of payment, MCSO wrote. "This is never something MCSO, or any other law enforcement agency, would do. Please don't fall victim to their threats," the Sheriff's Office warned.If you believe you fell victim to the scam, provided banking information, or suffered a financial loss, you are encouraged to contact the Sheriff's Office.
