Nearly two weeks after a woman was senselessly killed over a Pride flag hanging outside of her shop, some San Bernardino Mountain communities are showing their support for the LGBTQ+ community by flying the flag outside other businesses and even some residences. After making disparaging remarks about the Pride flag outside her store, Mag Pi, on Aug. 18, officials say Travis Ikeguchi, 27, a Cedar Glen resident, shot and killed 66-year-old Laura Ann Carleton. After the shooting, authorities say Ikeguchi fled the scene on foot but was shot and killed by deputies following a confrontation. “Every time we see those flags, it feels like that’s a safe space,” Natalie Camunas, with Digital Mountaineers, told KTLA.  In mountain communities like Cedar Glen, Lake Arrowhead and Running Springs, you’ll now find more businesses and some homes decorated with the Pride flag as a show of solidarity and to rally together in the wake of the tragic killing.  At the gastropub Spade & Spatula, t...

Greg Abbott after sending multiple buses of migrants to several U.S. cities.The motion was introduced by District 1 Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez, seeking to investigate possible kidnapping and interstate human trafficking offenses, specifically in the first of 11 migrant transfers to L.A.“The competition between these Republican governors about who can be more racist, I think is just an utter failure and shows clearly that they do not have any intention to govern effectively,” Councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez said during the August 30 city council meeting. “The callousness and disregard for the lives of these families deserve a full investigation into the criminal actions and wrongdoing of Gov. Greg Abbott.”Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and council members alike criticized Abbott for transporting migrants from Texas border cities, to L.A. in the midst of a tropical storm on Aug...

Dominic Stricker sings along to Whitney Houston’s ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ at the US Open

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 10:25:49 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Closing in on the biggest victory of his tennis career, Dominic Stricker was having a terrific time at the U.S. Open — so much so that he sang along to Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” as it rang out from the stadium speakers during a changeover Wednesday.Stricker needed to go through qualifying just to get into the field at Flushing Meadows and the 21-year-old from Switzerland moved into the third round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time by beating No. 7 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-5, 6-7 (2), 6-7 (5), 7-6 (6), 6-3.Music often plays during breaks between games at the U.S. Open, and Houston’s 1987 hit was the choice while the players sat on the sideline at 5-2 in the fifth set of the 4-hour, 4-minute contest.Between sips of an energy drink and bites on a snack, Stricker bopped his head and bounced his legs to the beat of the song and then began mouthing the lyrics. He appeared to know all the words.___AP tennis: https://apnews.com/hub/te...
