Mets’ Clay Holmes surprised by Yankees’ reversal on facial hair months after exit
February 22, 2025
PORT ST. LUCIE — Clay Holmes knew the day would arrive, but this soon? The Mets pitcher — sporting a neatly trimmed beard — indicated he was caught by surprise Friday to learn his former team, the Yankees, had eliminated a long-standing rule prohibiting facial hair. “Everyone always talked about the day will probably come, but it felt like a day far off,” said Holmes, who is scheduled to start and face three ups (meaning at least pitching into the third inning) in the Mets’ spring training opener on Saturday. “It’s surprising that it’s here and I think it’s probably something the players have wanted.” Though he now wears a beard, Holmes said it’s something that was never a big deal for him when he played for the Yankees. Former Yankees reliever Clay Holmes, sporting a beard, is now a starter for the Mets. Corey Sipkin for New York Post The right-hander arrived to the Mets on a three-year contract worth $38 million in the offseason. Holmes recalled the need to change his look after arriving to the Yankees in a trade with the Pirates in 2021. “It was a thing for me, when I got traded over I had long… Read the full article here […]
Brit holidaymaker, 60, mysteriously dies in Costa del Sol hotel he was ‘staying in alone’ as post-mortem launched
February 22, 2025
A BRITISH holidaymaker has mysteriously died in the Costa del Sol hotel he was reportedly staying in alone. Cops are investigating after being alerted by staff in the tourist hotspot resort in the town of Fuengirola. Panoramic landscape, Fuengirola, Mediterranean SeaCredit: Alamy 3 Sould Park in Fuengirola, SpainCredit: Alamy The 60-year-old Brit man had been due to check out of his room at the unnamed hotel on Thursday. Emergency responders including medical staff scrambled to the scene – but all they could do was tragically confirm his death. A post-mortem is due to take place on Friday to try and find a cause of death and determine how the police investigation proceeds. The results of the autopsy will then be sent to a judge placed in charge of the probe. Well-placed sources said no signs of violence were found in the room or on the dead man’s body signalling a crime had taken place. The tourist is thought to have been staying in the room alone in the holiday hotspot. It comes a mere few days after an elderly British woman was found “starved to death” after her carer son died at their Costa del Sol home – a half-hour drive inland from Fuengirola. Earlier this week it emerged a… Read the full article here […]
Heavy snow warning issued for Ishikawa
February 22, 2025
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a significant heavy snow warning again for the central prefecture of Ishikawa shortly after 5:30 a.m. Saturday. A strong winter pressure pattern brought heavy snowfall mainly to the Sea of Japan side of the Tohoku northeastern region and the Hokuriku central region, which includes Ishikawa. The agency warned of major traffic disruptions in flat areas in the northern part of the Noto region in Ishikawa. In the Ishikawa city of Wajima, snowfall in the six hours to 7 a.m. Saturday reached 27 centimeters, matching the largest recorded amount for the area. Accumulated snow could crush houses damaged by the Jan. 1, 2024, Noto Peninsula earthquake and heavy rains that hit the same peninsula in Ishikawa last September. The winter pressure pattern is forecast to remain until around Sunday, and the flow of cold air mass is expected to intensify intermittently, leading to an increase in snow accumulation in some areas, according to the agency. In the city of Nagaoka in Niigata Prefecture, snowfall in the six hours to 10 a.m. Saturday came to 32 centimeters, matching a record high for February for the… Read the full article here […]

February 22, 2025
Mould, flood damage, and a potentially deadly disease lurking in the soil. Sodden north Queensland locals already have plenty to think about as they clean up from record rainfall that triggered widespread flooding, leaving two people dead. But another potential threat looms with a tropical cyclone a chance of impacting the Queensland coast in the coming days. Serious health fears have also been raised in the north as locals try to recover from weeks of wet weather. Three people have died in Townsville from a bacterial infection linked with heavy rain since floods hit the region in February. Two others died from melioidosis in Townsville in January, with another four deaths and more than 40 cases recorded further north in Cairns to date in 2025. […]
Out-of Touch Hosts of ABC’s The View Told to Dial Back Barrage of Off-Putting Trump-Hate – Twitchy
February 21, 2025
Morale is reportedly low at ABC’s The View because those who work on the show realized they were producing trash that offered no social value. We’re kidding. We wish that was true, though. Everyone there has the sads because nine staffers were let go and hosts have been told to tone down their hysterical Trump tantrums. Here’s more.

But, the show seems determined to maintain its lineup of clones who all say the same things. One commenter says she has noticed at least one cast who seems quieter than usual. “No one holds back their opinions on ‘The View,’” said a source close to the show. “It’s a place for dynamic conversations from diverse… Read the full article here […]
Kash Patel Orders 1,500 FBI Agents and Staff Out of the Building on Day One – RedState
February 21, 2025
FBI Director Kash Patel followed up a fiery introductory speech on Friday (Kash Patel Brings the Fire As He’s Sworn in As FBI Director— ‘There WILL Be Accountability’ – RedState) with equally fiery action. He ordered 1,500 staff and agents to be transferred from its Washington, DC, headquarters to various locations across the nation. Some 1,000 agents and staff will be reassigned to cities the Trump administration has designated higher crime locations where they can fight crime rather than engage in political shenanigans. Another 500 staff will be reassigned to Huntsville, Alabama, which is the DC equivalent of exile to Siberia. This is Director Patel’s first step, and it shouldn’t come as a shock. He told us it was going to happen. Kash Patel’s Day One plans for the FBI: “I’d shut down the FBI Hoover Building on Day One and reopen it the next day as a Museum of the Deep State.” This is why Democrats are fighting so hard to delay Patel’s inevitable confirmation. pic.twitter.com/LG0NdBWzpx — Christian Collins (@CollinsforTX) February 6, 2025 During his confirmation hearing, he reiterated his goal of getting agents and analysts out of DC and into… Read the full article here […]
Fired Biden Holdover Reinstated by Obama Judge Gets to Keep His Job (For Now) After Supreme Court Declines to Immediately Act | The Gateway Pundit
February 21, 2025
Portrait of Hampton Dellinger, Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy under Joe Biden/ Wikimedia Commons Fired Biden holdover Hampton Dellinger can keep his job for now after the US Supreme Court on Friday evening, in a 5-page order, declined to immediately act on President Trump’s emergency application. President Trump fired Hampton Dellinger, Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel (not to be confused with a special counsel hired as a federal prosecutor) a couple of weeks ago. Shortly after the firing, Judge Amy Berman Jackson sided with Hampton Dellinger, issued an administrative stay, and allowed him to keep his job. “Trump must allow Dellinger to continue to have “access” to the agency’s resources and cannot “recognize the authority of any other person as Special Counsel” while the order remains in effect, Jackson wrote,” according to Politico. On Sunday President Trump filed an emergency appeal with the US Supreme Court after corrupt Obama judge Amy Berman Jackson reinstated Hampton Dellinger as head of the Office of Special Counsel. On Tuesday Chief Justice Roberts ordered fired Biden holdover Hampton Dellinger to… Read the full article here […]
