Comment on Teens hit with rob, assault charges after stun gun attack

Today is Wednesday, Dec. 18, the 353rd day of 2024. There are 13 days left in the year. Today in history: On Dec. 18, 2019, the U. S. House impeached President Donald Trump on two charges, sending his case to the Senate for trial; the articles of impeachment accused him of abusing the power of the presidency to investigate rival Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 election and then obstructing Congress’ investigation.

Palm Beach County officials are moving forward with a plan to curb homelessness through the introduction of tiny cottages. Beyond a place to sleep at night, these tiny homes would provide people with a bathroom, shower and kitchen.

When aspiring 2012 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump weighed in with his threat to slap a 25% import duty on all Chinese manufactured goods, stating “that’s going to do a number of things,” I wondered if he understood China’s ubiquity in the domestic beef, pork and poultry industry, and what such a tax could do to the price of a meal for every family in the U.

Q: The NBA game has gotten so 3-point driven. I love Tyler Herro’s game and for the most part his shot selection this year. But his mid-range game was working, too, and he shoots 80%-plus from the free-throw line. Would love to have seen him get in the paint and shoot an 8-to-10-foot jumper for the win.

The alleged killer of the United Healthcare CEO is a “folk hero” to many. This was done not by the public, but by our politics and our government. Rich or poor, we all need health care.
