Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 12:44:44 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- What happens after godzilla stomps your city?In 2014, San Francisco was completely destroyed in a battle between titans -- at least on the big screen.

The first shot we see of San Francisco in this Friday’s episode is from the Marin Headlands.

Biden dings Trump on infrastructure, while he showcases $8.2B for 10 major rail projects

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 12:44:44 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — President Joe Biden went to Las Vegas on Friday to say he’s “putting high-speed rail on the fast track,” and he used the moment to blast Donald Trump — his predecessor and likely 2024 challenger — as a do-nothing politician.“Trump just talks the talk. We walk the walk,” Biden said at a hall for unionized carpenters. “He likes to say America is a failing nation. Frankly, he doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about. I see shovels in the ground, cranes in the sky. People hard at work rebuilding America together.”The president showcased $8.2 billion in new federal funding for 10 major passenger rail projects across the country. He also emphasized the fundamental differences between Trump and himself, a sign that his policy speeches are taking an ever greater political bent with the election now roughly 11 months away.The Democrat said Trump “failed” to deliver on his promises to invest in U.S. infrastructure. Biden countered that his rail funding could ...

Prince George’s Co. parent-led school groups demand safer roads after 2 kids killed in crosswalk

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 12:44:44 GMT

In November, two young students at Riverdale Elementary School — 10-year-old Shalom Mbah and 5-year-old Sky Sosa — were in the crosswalk on Riverdale and Taylor Road when they were struck and killed by a driver making a left turn. The crosswalk had no crossing guard.Weeks after the tragedy, parent leaders have come together to demand action from Prince George’s County lawmakers.In a letter backed by parent-led groups from 11 county schools, the leaders warn county officials about the dangers of pedestrian safety around the schools and the risks unfilled crossing guard positions can bring.“You can’t ask families to walk to and from school, and then not give them the safe streets,” said Timothy Meyer, President of the Mt. Rainier PTO. “Giving our giving our kids safe routes to and from school is going to require real, long-term commitment from public officials.”Part of that long-term commitment includes safety workers.“Crossing guards [are] a very important par...

Boston city councilors ‘blindsided’ by presentation honoring pro-Palestinian student walkout

A number of Boston city councilors described being “blindsided” by a controversial resolution put forward by one of their colleagues, honoring two students for organizing a pro-Palestinian walkout at their high school last week.The citation, put forward by Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson, was presented on behalf of the entire City Council to New Mission High School students Kameela Blackmon and Aliyah Mohamed — who then went on to make divisive statements about the Israel-Hamas war during a Wednesday meeting.“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” Mohamed said, repeating a phrase that has been condemned by the Anti-Defamation League as antisemitic, and one that has been used as a rallying cry for pro-Palestinian activists in the wake of the deadly Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel and retaliatory bombings in Gaza.Blackmon, the self-described student body president of New Mission High School, described the Israeli “occupation of Palestine” as “genocide....
