For years, a mile-long stretch of sand on the rural San Mateo County coast was known for loud late night parties that left behind huge piles of litter.On Tuesday, the stunning property, which was once owned by rock singer Chris Isaak, moved a big step closer to becoming a new public park — the first of its kind in more than 50 years.The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to approve an $11.6 million construction contract to build parking, trails, a ranger station, restrooms, interpretive signs and other amenities at Tunitas Creek Beach.Construction is set to begin by July. When work is completed by next summer, the new park will be the first major coastal beach added to the San Mateo County parks system since Fitzgerald Marine Reserve in Moss Beach in 1969.“This is one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve been on in the entire state,” said San Mateo County Supervisor Ray Mueller, whose district includes the property.“It’s wide open,” he said. “...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:30:46 GMT

(KRON) -- Police in one Napa County city are giving away free gun locks to any resident who wants one with "no questions asked." The American Canyon City Council passed a Safe Firearms Storage Ordinance last month requiring all gun owners to store firearms at home in a locked container, or disable firearms with an appropriate safety device.Guns can end up in the wrong hands, including the hands of young children, home burglars, or a suicidal person, police cautioned. "Keeping a firearm locked when it is not being carried prevents unauthorized users, including children, from accessing and using firearms which can reduce unintentional discharges, firearm theft, and suicide," the American Canyon Police Department wrote. ACPD launched its Free Gun Lock Giveaway initiative Monday to help improve firearm safety within neighborhoods. Police Chief Rick Greenberg said, "We believe that responsible gun ownership includes taking steps to secure firearms when they are not in use. The Free Gun L...

La razón por la que Biden ha evitado hablar sobre el caso contra Trump

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:30:46 GMT

WASHINGTON DC – Es raro que un mandatario del mundo libre guarde silencio, pero es evidente que el presidente Joe Biden ha resuelto decir lo menos posible sobre la acusación presentada contra su predecesor Donald Trump por la justicia federal.La Casa Blanca esquiva las preguntas al respecto. Su campaña no las responde. Y Biden mismo no quiere tener nada que ver con ello. “No tengo nada que decir sobre lo sucedido”, dijo a la prensa el viernes 9 de junio en Rocky Mount, Carolina del Norte.Esta reticencia refleja la situación precaria y sin precedentes en que se encuentra Biden: así como Trump es el primer expresidente acusado de un crimen federal, Biden es el primer presidente cuyo gobierno ha acusado a su principal rival político. En vivo: Trump se declara no culpable de 37 cargos por caso de documentos clasificados ¿Por qué el caso contra Trump se procesa en Florida?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:30:46 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- It costs a lot more for shelter in the Denver metro than it did a year ago, but at least a summer road trip is cheaper. U.S. inflation rates remain stubbornly high as of Tuesday’s release of the latest Consumer Price Index data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In May 2023, the index was 4% higher than in the year before for the average U.S. city. So-called core inflation, which does not include volatile food and energy prices, was even higher at 5.3%. Nuggets’ championship parade will be Thursday: Here are all the details In the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood metro statistical area, inflation was slightly higher than the national rate at 5.1% for all items and 5.6% for core inflation.

Trump pleads not guilty to federal charges that he illegally kept classified documents at Florida estate

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:30:46 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Donald Trump became the first former president to face a judge on federal charges as he pleaded not guilty in a Miami courtroom Tuesday to dozens of felony counts that he hoarded classified documents and refused government demands to give them back.The history-making arraignment, centering on charges that Trump mishandled government secrets that as commander-in-chief he was entrusted to protect, kickstarts a legal process that will unfold at the height of the 2024 presidential campaign and carry profound consequences not only for his political future but also for his own personal liberty.Trump approached his arraignment with characteristic bravado, posting social media broadsides against the prosecution from inside his motorcade and insisting as he has through years of legal woes that he has done nothing wrong and was being persecuted for political purposes. But he sat scowling inside the courtroom with his arms crossed as a lawyer entered a not guilty plea on his behal...
