‘[It’s like] a family reunion’ Thousands of Texans attend Waco Trump rally

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:42:29 GMT

WACO, Texas (KXAN) — Thousands of excited Texans attended Trump's first major rally of the presidential cycle in Waco Saturday. One Trump fan in the crowd was Karen Girsham, who drove an hour and a half from the Dallas area to see Trump speak for a second time. She attended another rally in Conroe, Texas, in Jan. 2022."It was like you were at a family reunion," Girsham said. "You were with like-minded people that made you feel like you knew everybody there [and] we were all there for one reason: That's Donald Trump."Girsham said that she looks forward to Trump's run for a second term in office. She said she thinks Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has hinted at a presidential run, could beat Joe Biden in the general election but that Trump is her pick."He had us going in the right direction -- best president in American history," she said.Also in Waco from Dallas was Republican activist Brian Bodine. He said it makes sense that Trump chose the Lone Star State to have his first majo...

Kiszla: Why go to trouble of building new Broncos stadium if we don’t put a roof on it?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:42:29 GMT

At a time when too many people are forced to live on our streets, the Broncos are exploring the idea of abandoning a perfectly good, 22-year-old football stadium to build a new multibillion-dollar sports palace in Denver.We are loud and proud, wild and crazy, unapologetic Broncomaniacs.But do you think perhaps our priorities are messed up?Listen, I think it would be cool to hang out at a new stadium with a retractable roof and a plaza where anything an orange-and-blue beating heart desires, from spicy street tacos to a snazzy sportsbook, could provide fans with sweet sensory overload.But with the Denver we love at a crossroads, when candidates for mayor seek solutions for the thorny issues of people living in tents, KIA sports utility vehicles being stolen in broad daylight and the ridiculous cost of renting a one-bedroom apartment, I wonder if all this talk about a new football stadium is more than a little tone deaf.I appreciate that the crazy-rich Waltons who own the Broncos have...

Warriors guard wants ‘slander’ to end after ‘playoff JP’ shows up

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:42:29 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Jordan Poole has seen the tweets and words written about his up-and-down fourth NBA season. He’s heard the dialogue on his sometimes lackluster defense on sports talk radio shows and podcasts. Poole kept the receipts of his detractors and pulled them out after one of his biggest games of the season Friday night. Poole wants the “extra slander” to end after he embodied “playoff JP” in the Warriors’ 120-112 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Poole exploded for 19 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter to propel Golden State to its third straight win. He was playing within the flow of the game, scoring at all three levels and taking what the defense gave him. As a result, he shot 10 of 19 from the field and 6 of 11 from beyond the arc while also making seven of his team-high-tying eight free throw attempts. “It felt like a JP performance from last postseason where he’s really attacking and shooting the ball with confidence,&...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:42:29 GMT

The New York Yankees could be opening the season without three-fifths of their projected starting rotation.Right-hander Luis Severino has a low-grade lat strain, Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Saturday, putting the two-time All-Star at risk of starting the season on the injured list.“Obviously it’s going to put him in jeopardy to start the year,” Boone said.Boone expressed optimism this wouldn’t be a long-term issue but acknowledged that Severino “most likely” would get placed on the injured list.Severino, 29, went 7-3 with a 3.18 ERA in 19 starts last season. He struck out 112 in 102 innings. Boone said the issue arose after Severino made his last start on Tuesday.“Afterwards when he was kind of doing his workout, arm-care stuff, he just felt some tightness in there,” Boone said. “He came in the next day and it was a little tight, and then yesterday he was going to go out and throw and that tightness was still there enough to where he wanted to go get it looked at.”The ...
