OPINIÓN | Critiqué la guerra en Gaza. Luego me despidieron de mi trabajo como Santa Claus

Nota del editor: Ken Dorph es un consultor que vive en Sag Harbor, Nueva York. Las opiniones expresadas en este comentario son exclusivas de su autor.(CNN) — El año pasado me invitaron a ser Santa Claus en el Sag Harbor Cinema, el renovado cine art déco de la pintoresca ciudad ballenera de Sag Harbor, Nueva York. Llevo más de 30 años residiendo en este pequeño pueblo; he descubierto que el ADN ballenero de Sag Harbor y su carácter luchador e independiente va bien conmigo. Desde Betty Friedan hasta John Steinbeck, este pequeño lugar ha acogido a toda una serie de artistas, intelectuales y pensadores independientes.Me encantó ser Santa Claus y me dijeron que tenía un talento innato. Me encantaba charlar con los niños y me metía de lleno en el papel. Siempre les decía que Santa Claus sabía que eran muy buenos niños o niñas. Intentaba ser un Santa Claus inclusivo. Cuando los elfos me trajeron a la hija pequeña del rabino local, le dije que Santa Claus quería a todo el mundo. Tuvi...

Three-legged dog in East Brookfield gets new lease on life thanks to shelter, local brewery

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:23:01 GMT

A three-legged dog in East Brookfield is now living the high life thanks to a shelter and a local brewery. The dog, Nugget, was first taken in by Second Chance Animal Services with a severe injury. Second Chance was able to get Nugget the medical attention he needed. Treatment, though, came at the cost of one of his legs. “We had hoped we were going to be able to save the leg,” said Second Chance’s Lindsay Doray. “But, due to the amount of pain that he was in, we knew that this would alleviate the pain.”Doray said staff knew Nugget would also learn to “get along just fine” without his leg, given his young age at the time. During his recovery process, Nugget was placed up for adoption. His future owners ended up being just down the street at Timberyard Brewing Company, where owner Matt Zarif and his wife had experience with dogs like Nugget. “My wife came to me and had seen the story about Nugget on the Second Chance website — ‘Can we get another three-legge...

Celtics finish impressive West Coast trip with convincing Christmas Day win over Lakers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:23:01 GMT

When the Celtics lost against the Warriors on the road last December, it set off a rare losing stretch that exposed their flaws and showed how vulnerable they could be after a hot start to the season.Under similar circumstances this season, history has not repeated itself.Instead, the Celtics have responded with three consecutive convincing victories that have shown how far they have come, and help illustrate why they’re better suited to win a championship this season. After back-to-back dominant wins over the Kings and Clippers, the Celtics continued to display their growth in front of a national audience with an impressive 126-115 Christmas Day victory over the rival Lakers to finish a fantastic road trip.Jayson Tatum (25 points) and Jaylen Brown (19 points) did not have big shooting nights in this win but as they’ve shown through the first third of the season, that’s not required for the Celtics to have success. Tatum had a season-high seven assists. Kristaps Porzingis returned f...

Robbins: Congress preps probe of taxpayer funds for Hamas

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:23:01 GMT

It emerged over the weekend that the House Foreign Affairs Committee plans to investigate the use of American taxpayers’ dollars to fund the Murder, Incorporated that is Hamas. With the revelations that billions of donor dollars that were supposed to be used for humanitarian aid for Gazans have instead been diverted to construct a network of terror tunnels spanning several hundred miles, it’s clear that such an investigation is long overdue. And while they complain with justification that the last year in Congress has been utterly dysfunctional, Democrats ought to join the Republicans who are initiating the investigation, and make it a fully bipartisan one.When it comes to the Mideast, U.N. agencies have modeled moral rot for decades, so investigating the UN looking for corruption and the abetting of terror is shooting fish in a barrel. The Committee intends to focus on UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which is in charge of aiding Palestinian refugees in Gaza. In p...

VICTORIA — The chief of police in Victoria, B.C., says his officers had a busy Christmas Eve, but the holiday season didn’t exactly bring good tidings of great joy for one officer on a city bus. Victoria police Chief Del Manak says one officer was hit with a cup of vomit as they attempted to take a passenger off a bus. Manak’s social media post on X, formerly known as Twitter, says another officer had to use a Taser on a man who wouldn’t leave a store.The chief says his officers also had to arrest a woman in downtown Victoria who was allegedly trying to pop the tires on 20 vehicles. Manak says the evening wasn’t all bad though after one officer found a Tim Hortons gift card on his car upon returning to his police cruiser after responding to a call downtown. The chief says it was a silver lining to an otherwise busy Christmas Eve as officers worked to keep the streets safe for Santa’s arrival. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 25...
