The crossing closed quickly after the 20 trucks went through.The Egyptian trucks unloaded the humanitarian aid and returned to the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing, according to a CNN stringer on the ground.People on the Egyptian side of the border – where aid organizations had waited for days to be given the green light – were jubilant as the crossing opened, celebrating with ululations and chants.According to E...

So it will be a battle of backups as the Bears (1-5) look to win their second game of the season behind rookie Tyson Bagent, and the Raiders (3-3) try to build a winning streak behind Brian Hoyer or Aidan O’Connell.As kickoff approaches, here’s our snapshot look at the game.Player in the spotlightTyson BagentThe undrafted rookie from Division II Shepherd will make his first career start as Fields recovers from a dislocated thumb suffered Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.Bagent was asked to step up in the second half of that game and completed 10 of 14 passes for 83 yards, no touchdowns, an interception and a lost fumble in the 19-13 Vikings win.Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney on Friday said he thinks Bagent is “u...

Howie Carr: Massachusetts’ plan for gun safety is to surrender guns to the corrupt State Police

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:40:44 GMT

Who will guard the guards themselves?That’s the eternal question that comes to mind as you read the Democrats’ unconstitutional 122-page gun grab bill now hurtling towards the governor’s desk at the State House.Much of the confiscation of legal firearms from law-abiding citizens will be charged to the second-most corrupt law-enforcement agency in the United States (after the FBI).I refer of course to the Massachusetts State Police.By rough count, the disgraced MSP are mentioned 38 times in the new legislation, and the colonel pops up 44 times.What could possibly go wrong?William F. Buckley Jr. once famously said that he would rather be governed by the first 100 names in the Boston telephone book than by the faculty of Harvard University.To update Buckley’s comment, I would prefer the state’s gun laws be enforced by the first 100 names on the membership rolls of the Gun Owners Action League (GOAL) than by the MSP.For sure, GOAL members are a much more law-abiding bunch than the troop...

Hezbollah official says his group already ‘is in the heart’ of Israel-Hamas war

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:40:44 GMT

BEIRUT (AP) — A top official with Hezbollah vowed that Israel will pay a high price whenever it starts a ground offensive in the Gaza Strip and said Saturday that his militant group based in Lebanon already is “in the heart of the battle.”The comments by Hezbollah’s deputy leader, Sheikh Naim Kassem, came as Israel shelled and made drone strikes in southern Lebanon and Hezbollah fired rockets and missiles toward Israel. For Hezbollah, heating up the Lebanon-Israel border has a clear purpose, Kassem said: “We are trying to weaken the Israeli enemy and let them know that we are ready.” Hamas officials have said that if Israel starts a ground offensive in Gaza, Hezbollah will join the fighting. Exchanges of fire along the Lebanon-Israel border have picked up in the two weeks since the attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas that killed over 1,400 civilians and soldiers in southern Israel. Retaliatory Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have killed more than 4,000 Palestinians.There are c...
