Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:46 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — Less than a block from T-Mobile Park, the image of Julio Rodríguez plasters the side of a warehouse. The mural is an ode to the Emerald City’s young baseball star — one the Seattle Mariners plan to have in center field for the next decade.At only 22, he’s already the face of the franchise, the one whose No. 44 jersey floods the stands nightly, both home and road. He’s carrying the expectations as the next generational player watching over that sacred position of center field in Seattle.This All-Star week in Seattle was supposed to be Rodríguez’s party. The “J-Rod Show” at home for the world to see on the All-Star stage.At the Home Run Derby, that’s exactly how it started. And then fittingly, Round 2 turned into a relative bummer.Rodríguez shined for the second straight year in the Home Run Derby, hitting a single-round record 41 homers in an opening-round victory over Pete Alonso. Then he fell short and lost to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the semifinals. The show g...

How Taylor Swift's Denver visit will impact local economy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:46 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Financial experts are predicting this weekend's two Taylor Swift concerts will bring in an estimated $40 to $50 million to the Denver economy.“Well, I think this is bigger than Garth Brooks,” Metropolitan State University of Denver’s Distinguished Professor of Economics Kishore Kulkarni said.Kulkarni estimates Friday and Saturday night's concerts will surpass the amount of money Brooks generated, a few years back, when the country star also played at Empower Field at Mile High. No ‘Taygating’ without tickets at Eras Tour this weekend Kulkarni factored in money spent for parking, food and lodging into the overall economic impact.“I think these possible effects for the city, are welcome effects,” he added.Both concerts have long since been sold out. Kulkarni estimates Swift will make $5 to $7 million per concert.

GOLDEN, Colo. (KDVR) -- Law enforcement continues to crack down on scams targeting victims on social media platforms, phone calls and emails.Tonya Goodman told FOX31 that she knew something seemed suspicious when her Facebook page appeared to be hijacked, so she called a number offered by someone saying they could help.

The operation uses the initial personal information to unlock access to bank accounts and financial apps.“(They took) money off all of my accounts and I actually helped them," Goodman, who lost $1,400, said.

Great news for Ben & Jerry’s: the virtue-signaling ice cream company has a chance to put its money where its mouth is.After flexing social justice warrior cred with the tone-deaf Independence Day post: “This 4th of July, it’s high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it,” the company faced backlash and threats of a boycott.Now, however, Ben & Jerry’s has a chance to make amends with the some of the indigenous people whose land was stolen, personally.As Newsweek reported, an indigenous tribe descended from the Native American nation that originally controlled the Vermont land  the Ben & Jerry’s headquarters is located on would be interested in taking it back, its chief has said.Don Stevens, chief of the Nulhegan Band of The Coosuk Abenaki Nation — one of four descended from the Abenaki that are recognized in Vermont — told Newsweek it was “always interested in reclaiming the stewardship of our lands...

Jury picked in trial of Las Vegas police officer accused of stealing $165k in trio of casino heists

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:46 GMT

By RIO YAMAT (Associated Press)LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Las Vegas police officer accused of carrying out a trio of casino heists will face trial after a jury was finalized Monday afternoon.Opening statements are set to begin Tuesday with prosecutors for the federal government expected to paint Caleb Rogers as a gambling addict who grew increasingly desperate under a crush of debt. The trial is anticipated to last through the end of the week.Rogers, 35, is accused of stealing nearly $165,000 in the robberies over four months at casinos off the Las Vegas Strip. In at least one of the heists, he was armed with a weapon issued by the police department, prosecutors have said. The officer’s attorney, Richard Pocker, has said the government’s evidence allegedly tying Rogers to two of the robberies is weak. He accused the FBI and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department detectives of pressuring two people, including Rogers’ brother, into identifying him as the suspect in t...

Manzo: Julie Su unfit for Secretary of Labor post

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:46 GMT

Pressure is mounting in the Senate for President Biden to withdraw his nomination of Julie Su for secretary of labor — and for good reason. Su has a long history of supporting policies that would harm businesses.During her tenure as California’s labor secretary, Su oversaw the largest unemployment fraud in the state’s history. Under her watch, the Employment Development Department (EDD) wasted nearly $40 billion in fraudulent claims, leaving many struggling to make ends meet. To make matters worse, more than $1 billion of those claims were sent to criminals, including death row inmates.Thanks to Su’s negligence, the EDD owes the federal government $17 billion for money borrowed during the pandemic.Su’s record of incompetence expands far beyond her failures with EDD. Su was a vocal advocate for the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA). This unique law allows employees to sue their employers on behalf of the state for labor violations, costing California billions of dollars.PAGA resul...
