Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:52:22 GMT

Days before a former Fresno chapter president of the Hells Angels is set to be sentenced for aiding the cremation of a man who was murdered by other club members, federal prosecutors have dropped a bombshell, alleging that a local funeral director informed the FBI their were four such illegal cremations.Moreover, federal authorities believe they know the identities of all four bodies, according to court records. All four men are former Hells Angels who are either listed as missing persons or murder victims, according to court records.These new revelations came days before the sentencing of 54-year-old Merl Hefferman, a former president of the Fresno Hells Angels who has pleaded guilty to obstructing justice by arranging the cremation of Livermore resident Joel Silva. This was done after another Hells Angel, Brian Wendt, shot Silva in the back of the head inside the club’s Fresno headquarters, capping off a murder conspiracy that was hatched on the East Coast when Silva’s...

J Street to Democrats: Back Resolution Supporting Gaza War or Lose Endorsement

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:52:22 GMT

On Tuesday, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and Ranking Member Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., introduced a resolution pledging Congress would stand “with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas and other terrorists.” Nearly every member of Congress announced their support for the resolution — with the exception of 13 Democrats.The resolution, however, does not mention Palestinian civilians, who face an ongoing siege of medieval proportions — with Israeli forces cutting off access to food, water, and electricity — and calls for further restricting and scrutinizing imports because of Hamas’s use of bulldozers and other rudimentary equipment to break down the border fence with Israel. The lack of any attempt in the resolution to urge Israel to avoid civilian casualties, as the Palestinian territory stares down an apocalyptic and ongoing massacre, has led to a small pocket of resistance to the resolution among a handful of ...

Why it’s cheaper to repair your appliances instead of buying new ones

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:52:22 GMT

You may be in the market for new appliances. But experts said if they’re in good working order, why spend the money?They said you should try to repair them first.“The reason is … most appliances, if it’s a small problem, can be fixed for less than $200,” said Kevin Brasler, executive editor of Consumers’ Checkbook.He added that repairing an appliance could save you money in the long run.“Usually, most homeowners — we’re happy with what we have. It works well for us. We’re happy with the features.” Brasler said. “And most importantly, if the unit’s been reliable already for five to eight years or more, there’s no reason to think that it won’t continue to work reliably for many more years to come.”Brasler added that new appliances come with a hefty price tag.“I mean, new refrigerators often cost more than $2,000,” he said.But what if you discover those appliances are beyond repair?...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:52:22 GMT

CLEVELAND (AP) — Brock Purdy has been labeled a game manager and system quarterback. He has been described as robotic, savvy and consistent. Most famously, he has been called Mr. Irrelevant.However, there’s one word that perhaps best sums up the startling start to his professional career: Perfect.In less than two seasons, San Francisco’s 23-year-old QB has risen from being the final pick in the NFL draft (hence Mr. Irrelevant) to being in the conversation as one of the early frontrunners for MVP this season.Going into Sunday’s game against Cleveland’s top-ranked defense, Purdy leads the league in passer rating (123.1) while completing 72.1% of his passes. He has thrown nine touchdown passes, zero interceptions and allowed fans in the Bay Area to turn the page on Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance.And in case anyone was still wondering if his start was a flash or fluke, Purdy threw four TD passes last week as the 49ers (5-0) demolished Dallas 42-10 on national TV ...
