The trial for a former Hialeah Police officer accused of kidnapping and beating a homeless man entered its fourth day.On Thursday, the victim, Jose Ortega Gutierrez, continued to answer questions asked by the defense.

Let’s see what the investigators say.”“I have known Prigozhin for a long time, from the beginning of the 1990s,” Putin said of his former caterer. “He was a man with a ...

NEW YORK (AP) — The eight Republican presidential candidates on the debate stage were asked to raise their hands if they believed human behavior is causing climate change.Not a single hand went up. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis shut down the question and attacked the “corporate media.” Echoing the words of former President Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy called climate change “a hoax” and a “wet blanket on our economy.” Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., insisted that more serious environmental threats are coming from China, India and Africa. Just one Republican, former U.N.

In fact, some young conservatives confronted Ramaswamy at a gathering after the debate and told him his answer was particularly unhelpful. “We’re getting to a point where Republicans a...
