Rendon says he doesn’t know why the Angels haven’t announced his injury as a fracture, but Rendon has repeatedly declined requests to discuss the injury himself in recent weeks.The Angels have given only sporadic updates on their high-priced hitter’s latest injury recovery, describing it as a serious bruise with accompanying bleeding. Manager Phil Nevin has usually reported no pr...

Lowry: All signs point to Joe Biden’s corruption

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:31:53 GMT

The memo went out from the White House that there’s no evidence President Joe Biden did anything wrong regarding his son’s business dealings and, sure enough, the media is repeating the line.To the contrary, we already know that Biden was complicit in an inherently corrupt enterprise that centered on selling access to him when he was a high government official.Consider Burisma, the shady Ukrainian energy company that paid his son lavishly to serve on its board. At any point, Biden could have shut down this operation to use his son to get to him, and at any number of junctures, it should have been obvious — if it wasn’t from the beginning — what was happening. Biden did nothing and, in fact, played along.Burisma was founded by Mykola “Nikolay” Zlochevsky, who had to go on the lam after the government of Viktor Yanukovych fell in the Maidan Revolution. The new government of Petro Poroshenko put Zlochevsky under investigation.So, Burisma needed...

Editorial: Spending splurge caused exploding budget deficit

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:31:53 GMT

The deficit — a problem almost no one cares about — is getting worse. Unfortunately, both a majority of political leaders and the public continue to prefer ignorance over potential solutions.In 2022, the U.S. federal government ran a $1 trillion annual deficit. Yes, you read that correctly. In just one year, the federal government spent $1 trillion more than it took in.That will soon be considered the good ole days. This year, the annual budget deficit is expected to double to around $2 trillion. It’s one thing for deficits to spike during a major national crisis — like the initial days of the COVID-19 pandemic or a world war — or an economic downturn. The country hasn’t experienced those during the past year.That’s left some supposed experts mystified.“To see this in an economy with low unemployment is truly stunning. There’s never been anything like it,” Jason Furman, once a top economist in the Obama administration and now a Harvard economics professor, told The Washington Post. ...
