Among the many horrifying videos posted online amid Mexico’s drug cartel violence, few have been as profoundly shocking as that of a 14-year-old boy kidnapped in late October along with about a dozen family members in the country’s south.In the video, posted by his captors, the skinny, shoeless boy is seen sitting against a tree, his hands tied with rope and saying quietly that he works for a rival drug gang. The boy obviously spoke under duress, his schoolboy face tentative and cautious.Authorities confirmed on Friday that 14-year-old Ángel Barrera Millán was one of four minors and seven adults whose…
My first thought, not particularly original, was to leave the United States. But then I realized I already have.I live in California.If you do, too, you might be hung over right about now. Or you’re wondering if this is all a nightmare.It’s not. Well, it kind of is.Vice President Kamala Harris, a California native, lost to former President Trump, and it wasn’t even close. A convicted male felon ran against a female former prosecutor and won decisively, running the table even in so-called battleground states, and Republicans also reclaimed the Senate and could well keep the House.A guy whose own…
India is one of the last bastions of cheap cars. Econoboxes are still prevalent in the world’s most populous country where Skoda recently launched a $9,300 crossover with ventilated seats. The traditional sedan segment is well-covered as well, and Maruti Suzuki just launched the fourth-generation Dzire (no, that’s not a typo). It stars at the equivalent of $8,000 or roughly six times less than the average new car sold in the United States. When automakers are developing ultra-cheap cars, they must cut corners to bring the costs down. Automakers typically skimp on safety features, resulting in shockingly poor crash test…
Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) has suggested he may skip the Tour de France in 2025 in favour of a return to mountain biking. The Dutch star won the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix in the road race world champion’s jersey this season but endured a subdued summer, with a relatively anonymous display at the Tour de France. That has caused him to question whether he wants to return next year, or whether he’d be better off returning to mountain biking, which he sacrificed this year and where he still has unfinished business. “To say I was unhappy at the Tour is perhaps…
Penn State coach James Franklin was right about this.”That was one of the prettiest and ugliest wins that we’ve had,” Franklin told reporters at Camp Randall Stadium after the Nittany Lions’ 28-13 win over Wisconsin on Saturday night.Once again, Penn State frayed its own nerves early, basically spotting the Badgers 10 points with a few lapses and an improvised special teams play, losing three starters (including quarterback Drew Allar) and running into walls with its running backs. But the Nittany Lions have been here before. They won a second consecutive road game in which they trailed at halftime, this time…
