Resident finds antisemitic message on neighbor’s car windshield in Dania Beach

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:27:53 GMT

A woman found messages of hate drawn into the dust on a car windshield at the Avery apartment garage in Dania Beach. “I still don’t understand how someone could have so much hate,” said Rachel Greenfader.It’s not Greenfader’s car, but the images of several swastikas, a racial slur, and a private part scrawled into the dust on the windshield of a car have affected her.“I’ve been crying and throwing up for the past 24 hours, as a human but more importantly as a Jewish person. It shook me to my core,” said Greenfader.She lives at the Avery apartments in Dania Point and noticed the images Sunday.“I would understand if a kid was being funny and maybe put up a smiley face but to go to that extreme, that individual has to have so much hatred in their heart. I don’t care if it was a kid trying to play a joke or someone my age or older. You don’t do that,” said Greenfader.She notified the Broward Sheriff’s Office and said she has also ta...

Yankees Notebook: Aaron Boone can relate to Oswald Peraza’s demotion

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:27:53 GMT

TAMPA — Aaron Boone knows how Oswald Peraza is feeling.The Yankees manager sipped his first cup of major league coffee with the Reds in 1997, and then made the team out of spring training in 1998. But a demotion soon followed, and Boone’s performance took a hit upon his return to Triple-A. The former third baseman doesn’t think he had an attitude after being sent down, but Boone acknowledged it was hard for him.“I’m sure there was something to being back there,” Boone said Monday before the Yankees’ last spring training game in Tampa.Boone shared that anecdote with Peraza on Sunday after the top prospect lost the Yankees’ shortstop battle to Anthony Volpe and was assigned to Triple-A. Peraza enjoyed a brief stint in the big leagues last year, so his situation is similar, though not identical, to Boone’s experience with Cincinnati.Boone broke the news to Peraza in what he called a “difficult conversation,” though the s...

Robert Kraft on perception Patriots don’t spend: ‘We have never set limits’

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:27:53 GMT

PHOENIX — When it comes to spending money on the Patriots’ roster, Robert Kraft wanted to make one thing perfectly clear Monday: Bill Belichick can spend however much he wants.Back in January, Belichick mentioned the Patriots were one of the lowest-spending teams in the league over the past three seasons when he was asked about the team’s 2021 spending spree. At this stage, two weeks into free agency, the Patriots rank in the bottom five of cash spending for 2023 and 2024, per Over The Cap. Those numbers have led to outside criticism that Kraft is reluctant to spend.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Robert Kraft: Lamar Jackson wants to be a Patriot New England Patriots | Bill Belichick again doesn’t commit to Mac Jones as Patriots’ starting quarterback New England Patriots | Josh McDaniels ‘excited’ to land ex-Patriot Jakobi Meyers New England Patriots | Bill Belichick deflects ...

Mississippi tornado victims wonder, ‘How can we rebuild?’

By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS, ROBERT BUMSTED and REBECCA SANTANA (Associated Press)ROLLING FORK, Miss. (AP) — The tornado that collapsed the roof and two walls of Jermaine Wells’ Mississippi home also hurled a massive tractor tire that landed near him in the living room as his wife huddled in the laundry room.The couple survived the Friday night storm, but as they picked through the ruins of their one-story home Monday in Rolling Fork, he said they’re not sure how they’re going to pay for daily expenses, let alone long-term recovery.Wells, 50, drives a backhoe for a road department in another county, and he said he doesn’t get paid if he doesn’t work. His wife, a cashier at a local store, gathered loose coins as he looked for clothing in the rubble.“I can’t even get to work. I don’t have no vehicle, no nothing,” Wells said. “How can we rebuild something that we don’t have nothing to build our foundation with?”T...

From Nashville to Newtown, kids cling to each other for safety [+photos]

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:27:53 GMT

In a nightmarish loop, children held each other as they escaped the latest school shooting.This time it was at a private Christian school in Nashville Monday. The kids formed a daisy chain by holding hands as they were brought to a unification center to connect with their parents. They left behind three classmates who were killed along with three adults.It was almost the exact scene that played out just over a decade ago at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., where 20 students and six adults were slain by a crazed gunman.“You can’t practice this,” Ed Davis, a former Boston police commissioner and security expert told the Herald. “In both cases, they are so young they will do what their teachers tell them to do. But this is unfathomable.”Davis said his advice in such a shooting situation is simple — “run.” It can save your life, he said.“Put as much distance as you can from you and the threat,” he said. ̶...

SVB failure classic ‘mismanagement,’ officials says

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:27:53 GMT

WASHINGTON — The nation’s top financial regulator is asserting that Silicon Valley Bank’s own management was largely to blame for the bank’s failure earlier this month and says the Federal Reserve will review whether a 2018 law that weakened stricter bank rules also contributed to its collapse.“SVB’s failure is a textbook case of mismanagement,” Michael Barr, the Fed’s vice chair for supervision, said in written testimony that will be delivered Tuesday at a hearing of the Senate Banking Committee.Barr pointed to the bank’s “concentrated business model,” in which its customers were overwhelmingly venture capital and high-tech firms in Silicon Valley. He also contends that the bank failed to manage the risk of its bond holdings, which lost value as the Fed raised interest rates.Silicon Valley was seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. on March 10 in the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history.Late Sunday, the FDIC ...
