Granite State voters too independent for Trump, Shaheen says

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:35:54 GMT

New Hampshire’s former governor and senior U.S. Senator says that Granite State voters are tired of the 45th President’s legal woes and perpetual falsehoods about the 2020 election, which he repeated last week during a campaign rally in Manchester.“I think, fundamentally, people disagree with him on the issues that he supported as president and continues to support,” U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said.The Granite State’s 78th governor was speaking with WCVB hosts Sharman Sacchetti and Ed Harding for the pair’s Sunday politics show On the Record, when she said former President Donald Trump’s recent remarks in the Queen City reflect his own beliefs and ideology much more than they do those of the historically independent minded voters of the first-in-the-nation primary state.“New Hampshire believes that women should have our own control of our bodies and that reproductive rights should be the decisions of women. Donald Trump doesn’t believe that,” she said. “People in New Hampshire believe...

Lucas: Climate vandals miss the mark with Beacon Hill SUV attack

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:35:54 GMT

If Eddie Markey were a true Green New Deal warrior, he would have deflated a few Beacon Hill SUV tires himself.He might have even led the mob of climate change vandals—called Tyre Extinguishers—who deflated the tires of 43 SUVs a week ago that were parked tightly overnight on streets adjacent to the State House.But perhaps the 76-year-old junior U.S. Senator was too busying holding an Earth Day press conference with Rep.  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the reintroduction of the Green New Deal Resolution.“The Green New Deal isn’t just a resolution,” Markey said, “it is a revolution.”Perhaps the vandals heard him. These left-wing loonies called the SUVs “massive killer vehicles,’’ which even in their wildest dreams showed that they never came across a U.S. M1 Abrams tank.So, in the middle of the night, the group stealthily went after SUVs parked on Mt. Vernon Street, Pickney Street, Brimmer Street, Cedar Stret, Otis Place and David G. Mugar Way.They posted flyers on the vehicles which sa...

UN envoy says Sudan’s warring sides agree to negotiate

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:35:54 GMT

CAIRO (AP) — Sudan’s warring generals have agreed to send representatives for negotiations, potentially in Saudi Arabia, the United Nations’ top official in the country told The Associated Press on Monday, even as the two sides clashed in the capital despite another three-day extension of a fragile cease-fire. The talks would initially focus on establishing a “stable and reliable” cease-fire monitored by “national and international” observers, Volker Perthes said. A string of temporary truces over the past week has de-escalated fighting only in some areas, while in others, fierce battles have continued to drive civilians from their homes and push the country into a humanitarian crisis.Perthes cautioned that logistics for talks were still being worked out. So far, only the military has announced it is prepared to join negotiations, with no public word from its opponent, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Any talks would be the first major sign of progress since fighti...

Court unseals search warrant affidavits in T. Denny Sanford child pornography investigation

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:35:54 GMT

Investigators found that images of nude underage girls were transmitted on an email account they linked to billionaire South Dakota philanthropist T. Denny Sanford, documents unsealed Thursday showed, but they were unable to prove who sent them or where that person was at the time.Sanford’s attorney said in a statement that the newly released documents contain only allegations and “various individuals had documented access to the electronic devices at issue, including signs of hacking.”Sanford, South Dakota’s richest man and a University of Minnesota alumnus, was not charged after the state attorney general’s office said its investigation into child pornography allegations found no prosecutable offenses within its jurisdiction.Sanford’s attorneys fought to keep the affidavits used to issue search warrants sealed, but the Sioux Falls Argus Leader and ProPublica argued they should be made public and the state Supreme Court ruled this month that they would be unsealed.Sanfo...

98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: Can I Tell My Neighbors To Stop Skinny Dipping?

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma has to do with what's appropriate in your backyard. Here's the email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I'm having a problem with my neighbor and I don't quite know how to handle it. My neighbor has a very nice pool in their backyard, which they recently opened. It's heated and yes, they've already been in it. So you're thinking what's the problem? Well, they like to skinny dip in their pool. And there is no real barrier that keeps my family from seeing them do that. I mean there is a fence, but it's a chain link fence, and if I'm on my deck, I can see everything if you know what I mean. And so can my children. There are no shrubs or trees between our property. I'm very close to going over and asking them to stop skinny dipping as my kids can see them. My neighbors on the other side of my home say it's none of my business what they do in their yard, but I thin...

Ask Amy: New mom is frustrated by her old mom

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:35:54 GMT

Dear Amy: My mom and I have had a bumpy relationship ever since my parents got divorced about 10 years ago.Instead of finding healthy ways to cope, my mother blamed me (and my brother) for her unhappiness during a time when we were trying to get on our feet as adults.We slowly worked things out and talk by phone a couple of times a week.I am currently in my early 30s and in the last trimester with my third baby.Sadly, I lost my first baby at birth, but I do have a toddler at home now, and my mom is back to her old tricks.She indirectly blames me for her loneliness, even though my husband and I have offered to help her move closer to us (she refused).She’s started leaving me passive-aggressive voicemails about having to “schedule” time to talk with her daughter (which I do).I now have health concerns related to my pregnancy. The stress is terrible. I have suggested that she find a therapist, get some fresh air, make a new friend — but she seems to spend a lot of time napping, n...
