Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 22:03:02 GMT

A Long Beach man accused of building a homemade bomb that killed his ex-girlfriend, injured two other women and obliterated an Aliso Viejo day spa is once again on trial, less than a year after a different jury was unable to decide whether he was guilty of using a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death.As Stephen Beal’s second trial got underway on Wednesday morning at the federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles, the opposing attorneys once again painted contrasting portraits of Beal as either a jilted lover turned deadly bomber or an innocent man whose hobby quickly made him the target of investigators who were under pressure to solve the high-profile killing of 48-year-old Ildiko Krajnyak.A Hungarian-native who came to the United States in the 90s, Krajnyak spent years working in the beauty industry before saving up enough money to open her own day spa. On May 15, 2018, Krajnyak was opening a small cardboard box while chatting with a mother and daughter who had just gott...

ANÁLISIS | La “Bidenomía” tiene que ver con repeler la teoría del caos de Trump

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 22:03:02 GMT

(CNN) — El presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, a menudo explica su teoría simple de ganar elecciones con la legendaria sabiduría tradicional de su padre: “No me compares con el Todopoderoso, compárame con la alternativa”.Pero su gran discurso en Chicago este miércoles, dedicado a consagrar la “Bidenomía” como una idea creíble en la mente del público, reconoció implícitamente que las comparaciones con la “alternativa” en noviembre de 2024 (muy posiblemente Donald Trump) pueden no ser suficientes para ganar reelección.En 2020, Biden ganó la Casa Blanca al prometer un regreso a la normalidad después de una pandemia que asestó duros golpes económicos. Tuvo la ventaja de enfrentarse a un presidente que ya soportaba la vergüenza de uno de sus dos juicios políticos, que mantuvo a la nación en un estado constante de angustia psicológica con su cuenta de Twitter, y cuyas reflexiones sobre la inyección de desinfectante como cura para el covid-19 reflejaron su chapuza en la peor eme...

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 22:03:02 GMT

Americans 60 and older can get a new RSV vaccine but should discuss it with their doctor first, U.S. health officials recommended Thursday.The newly approved vaccines are expected to be ready in the fall, a time when flu shots and updated COVID-19 shots also will be available. Those eligible for the RSV vaccine should talk with their doctor to see if it is right for them, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.The CDC said adults with chronic heart or lung disease, weakened immune systems and those living in long-term care facilities are at higher risk for the respiratory infection.RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, is a common cause of cold-like symptoms but it can be dangerous for infants and the elderly. A surge last year filled hospitals with wheezing children. There’s no vaccine yet for kids, but one for pregnant women to prevent illness in infants may be coming too, pending approval from the Food and Drug Administration.On Thursday, Dr. Roch...
