Storm damage prompts SF officials to reinspect newer high rises

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:18:11 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Damage to glass facades on several San Francisco high rise buildings brought on by recent Bay Area storms has prompted city officials to launch new safety requirements for newer tall buildings, according to a news release from the city. San Francisco Mayor London Breed issued an emergency declaration in March allowing the city's Department of Building Inspection (DBI) to expand its facade inspection program to buildings that are 15 stories or taller and are less than 30 years old. SF drag legend Heklina found dead in London The existing program does not require buildings to send in inspection reports unless they are five stories or more and are more than 30 years old. But, of the six buildings that experienced glass failure during the storms, three are less than 30 years old.“While we are endeavoring to understand what caused the recent window failures in half a dozen buildings downtown, this legislation will ensure all tall buildings are immediately inspec...

The Prosecution of Trump Is a Good First Step. Now Do Bush.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump arrives at Trump Tower on April 3, 2023, in New York City.Photo: Getty ImagesEverything we know about Donald Trump indicates that the historic criminal arraignment hitting him today represents but a tiny fraction of the illicit activities he’s engaged in throughout his life. This prosecution, reportedly based on more than two dozen felony indictments related to hush money payments Trump has admitted he authorized to an adult film actress in 2016, comes just days after the 20th anniversary of the start of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq. Trump may be the first former president to face criminal prosecution, but that fact in and of itself is a damning condemnation of the U.S. system of impunity that has long permeated our system of American exceptionalism.This case against Trump would be a mere footnote of history, albeit a wild one, if the U.S. actually believed in holding presidents and other top officials accountable for their crimes, including thos...

Fulham’s Mitrovic banned 8 games after grabbing referee

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:18:11 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic was handed an eight-game ban Tuesday by the English Football Association after getting sent off for grabbing the referee in the FA Cup quarterfinals against Manchester United last month. The Serbia international was shown a straight red card after pushing and remonstrating aggressively in the face of referee Chris Kavanagh, who had just given United a penalty and sent off Fulham winger Willian for a handball in the area. Fulham had led 1-0 before the penalty was awarded, but went on to lose 3-1 after going down to nine men in the match on March 19.The FA said Mitrovic’s suspension, which was decided by an independent regulatory commission, consists of a standard three-match ban which has been extended by three games for violent conduct toward a match official and another two for using language that was “improper, abusive, insulting and threatening.”Mitrovic was also given a fine of 75,000 pounds ($94,000). Having already m...

Mexico complains to China about US pressure over fentanyl

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:18:11 GMT

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president asked his Chinese counterpart for help Tuesday in halting chemicals from China used by Mexican drug dealers to illegally produce fentanyl, while also complaining of “rude” U.S. pressure to curb the drug trade.President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has previously said that fentanyl is America’s problem and is caused by “a lack of hugs” in U.S. families. On Tuesday he doubled down on those themes, but went further, venting in a letter to Chinese President Xi Jinping about “rude threats” from U.S. legislators over the drug trade.López Obrador complained about calls in the United States to designate Mexican drug gangs as terrorist organizations. Some Republicans have said they favor using the U.S. military to crack down on the Mexican cartels.“Unjustly, they are blaming us for problems that in large measure have to do with their loss of values, their welfare crisis,” López Obrador wrote to Xi in the letter published Tuesday. “These positions are in t...

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Jon Rahm looked nearly unbeatable just a month ago.Now, the world’s No. 3-ranked player suddenly finds himself looking for a way to regain his top form this week at the Masters.After winning three tournaments in a six-week span culminating in a two-shot victory over Max Homa at Riviera, Rahm endured a rough March — making it anyone’s guess as to what to expect from the 28-year-old Spaniard at Augusta National.Rahm’s issues began at the Arnold Palmer Invitational when he followed up a stellar opening-round 7-under 65 with back-to-back 76s, eliminating him from contention at Bay Hill. He ultimately finished tied for 39th, snapping a streak of 10 straight top-10 finishes.He followed that with a first-round 71 at the Players Championship, but was forced to withdraw because of a stomach illness.Then came a disappointing effort at the WGC-Dell Match Play where he lost to Rickie Fowler and Billy Horschel, becoming the only top six seed not to advance to the round ...

NEW YORK (NEXSTAR) — Former President Donald Trump surrendered to authorities Tuesday at a Manhattan courthouse ahead of his arraignment on criminal charges stemming from a hush money payment to a porn actor during his 2016 campaign.Wearing his signature dark suit and red tie, Trump turned and waved to crowds outside the building before heading inside to be fingerprinted and processed — a remarkable reckoning after years of investigations into his personal, business and political dealings and an extraordinary moment in U.S. history.He arrived at court in an eight-car motorcade that took him from Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan through the main north-south highway on the east side of the city, past landmarks such as the United Nations. Along the way, the voluble ex-president posted on his social media platform: “Heading to Lower Manhattan, the Courthouse. Seems so SURREAL — WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America. MAGA!”Nexstar's WPIX recorded Tr...
