  • Trump calls Democrats ‘traitors’ for urging military to ‘refuse illegal orders’

    [ad_1]

    WASHINGTON — President Trump on Thursday said he believed Democratic lawmakers who publicly urged active service members to “refuse illegal orders” amounted to seditious behavior, which he said should be punishable by death.

    “It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand — We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET,” Trump said in a social media post.

    Trump went on to amplify more than a dozen social media posts from other people, who in reaction to Trump’s post called for the Democrats to be arrested, charged and in one instance hanged. Trump then continued: “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”

    The president’s remarks were in reaction to a joint video released by six Democrat lawmakers in which they urged military and intelligence personnel to “refuse illegal orders.”

    The Democratic lawmakers who released the video — Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Michigan Sen. Alyssa Slotkin, Pennsylvania Rep. Chris Deluzio, New Hampshire Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Pennsylvania Rep. Chrissy Houlahan and Colorado Rep. Jason Crow — served in the military or as intelligence officers.

    They did not specify which orders they were referring to. But they said the Trump administration was “pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professional against American citizens” and that threats to the Constitution were coming “from right here at home.”

    The video, which was posted on Tuesday, quickly drew criticism from Republicans, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth who characterized it as “Stage 4 [Trump Derangement Syndrome].” But Trump, who first reacted to the video on Thursday, saw the video as more than partisan speech.

    “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???” Trump said in another post.

    When asked Thursday if the president wanted to execute members of Congress, as suggested in one of his social media posts, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said “no.”

    But, Leavitt said, the president does want to see them be “held accountable.”

    “That is a very, very dangerous message and it is perhaps punishable by law,” Leavitt said. “I’ll leave that to the Department of justice and the Department of War to decide.”

    What the law says

    Under a federal law known as “seditious conspiracy,” it is a crime for two or more individuals to “conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States” or to “prevent, hinder or delay the execution of any law of the United States” by force.

    A seditious conspiracy charge is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

    Federal courts and legal scholars have long emphasized that seditious conspiracy charges apply only to coordinated efforts to use force against the government, rather than political dissent.

    The last time federal prosecutors pursued seditious conspiracy charges was in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were convicted of seditious conspiracy and other charges for plotting to prevent by force the transfer of presidential power to Joe Biden.

    Among the convicted individuals was former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, whose 22-year sentence was the stiffest of any of the Jan. 6 rioters. Trump pardoned him earlier this year.

    Hours after the president’s posts, the six Democratic lawmakers issued a joint statement, calling on Americans to “unite and condemn the President’s calls for our murder and political violence.”

    “What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law,” the lawmakers said in a statement posted to X. “Our service members should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders.”

    Democratic leaders in Washington and across the country denounced Trump’s post.

    House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said in a statement with other Democratic leaders that Trump’s comments were “disgusting and dangerous death threats against members of Congress.” They added that they had been in contact with U.S. Capitol Police to ensure the safety of the Democrat lawmakers and their families.

    California Gov. Gavin Newsom reacted to the posts by saying Trump “is sick in the head” for calling for the death of Democratic lawmakers.

    Northern California rain and snow forecast: Sierra chain controls, live road updates

    Scroll below for live road conditions in the Sierra

    LIVE AT 7:30 A.M. ALL RIGHT. LET’S GIVE YOU A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE. THIS FROM A CALTRANS CAMERA IN KINGVALE. THIS IS ALONG I-80. YOU SEE TRAFFIC AT A STANDSTILL. CRASH UP THE ROAD NEAR DONNER SUMMIT HAS BROUGHT THINGS TO A HALT. AND OF COURSE, YOU CONTINUE TO SEE THAT SNOW FALL. WE’LL CHECK IN WITH BRIAN HICKEY IN JUST A LITTLE BIT FOR MORE ON THAT. AND TODAY IS A KCRA 3 WEATHER IMPACT DAY. THANKS FOR JOINING US. I’M MIKE CHERRY AND I’M BRANDI CUMMINGS. LET’S HEAD RIGHT OVER TO METEOROLOGIST TAMARA BERG. AND TAMARA. WE SEE ALL THE GREEN THERE ON RADAR BEHIND YOU. YEAH. AND WE DO HAVE CONDITIONS RIGHT NOW THAT ARE CERTAINLY SLICK. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK RIGHT NOW FROM STOCKTON, WHERE WE’RE EVEN SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF FOG TRYING TO ENVELOP THE TOWN THERE. AS YOU LOOK FROM THE SKYCAM, WET MORNING PLAN FOR THAT. GIVE YOURSELF A BUFFER OF TIME TO GET OUT ON THOSE WET ROADWAY CONDITIONS. AFTERNOON SHOWERS WILL BE KIND OF MORE HIT AND MISS VARIETY. AND IF YOU’RE DOING ANY SIERRA TRAVELS, YOU’RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT. AGAIN, CONDITIONS ARE GOING TO BE SLICK AND SLOW TRAVELED AS WE’LL HAVE INTERMITTENT CHAIN CONTROLS LIKELY THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY TODAY IN THE MOUNTAINS RIGHT NOW, TEMPERATURES LOW 50S IN THE VALLEY AND DELTA 48 FOR YOU IN AUBURN AND WAKING UP TO JUST A CRISP AND CHILLY 32 WITH RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS THAT HAVE MIXED IN AROUND TRUCKEE. YOU’VE BEEN SEEING THAT SNOW LEVEL KIND OF DROP DOWN CLOSE TO AROUND 5000FT THIS MORNING, BUT A BULK OF THIS BOUNDARY IS PUSHING TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST. NOW AT THIS POINT IN THE MORNING. SO OUTSIDE OF MAYBE SOME WET TRACK, THERE ARE GOING TO BE PLENTY OF PARTS TO TODAY THAT WILL HAVE DRIER CONDITIONS. RIGHT NOW A COUPLE OF PASSING SHOWERS, CENTRAL SACRAMENTO COUNTY AND EXTENDING INTO SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY. AND I’VE BEEN SEEING JUST A BIT MORE RAIN BLOSSOM RIGHT NOW INTO STOCKTON AND EXTENDING INTO AREAS LIKE MODESTO. SOME BETTER SOAKING RAIN AROUND MANTECA ALONG HIGHWAY 120, AND SOME OF THOSE BANDS WILL PUSH TOWARDS FARMINGTON HERE ALONG HIGHWAY FOUR, IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS. BUT THE WIDENED VIEW HERE OF THE SIERRA, MOST OF THAT SNOW THAT WAS COMING DOWN AT A BETTER CLIP JUST BEFORE DAYBREAK IS NOW TRANSITION TO JUST THE OCCASIONAL SNOW SHOWER. SO FOR THE DAY AHEAD, WE’RE STILL EXPECTING TO HAVE THE IMPACT FOR THE MORNING BECAUSE OF THE WET CONDITIONS. AND THEN THE AFTERNOON BIGGER IMPACT WILL BE ON THE FOCUS IN THE SIERRA, WHERE THOSE SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE. NEXT TEN MINUTES I’LL BREAK DOWN THE FORECAST FOR YOU NEIGHBORHOOD BY NEIGHBORHOOD. IT IS 7.32. AND BRIAN, YOU’VE GOT YOUR HANDS FULL, ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS. YEAH. WE’RE GOING TO START IN THE SIERRA. THIS IS A PICTURE FROM LIVE TRACKER THREE WHERE YOU CAN SEE THERE A BIG RIG OVER ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. MELANIE WINGO IS GOING TO HAVE MORE ON THAT. AND THE CONDITIONS THAT WE’RE SEEING IN THE SIERRA, WHAT IT’S LIKE TO DRIVE UP THERE. I WANT TO TAKE YOU NOW TO THE CALTRANS CAMERA. THIS IS BACK AT KINGVALE AND THEY’RE HOLDING TRAFFIC. THESE VEHICLES HAVE NOT MOVED HERE IN THE LAST 20 OR SO MINUTES, AS THEY’RE WAITING TO GET THAT INCIDENT CLEAR, IT’S ON THE DOWNSLOPE ON THE EAST SIDE OF DONNER SUMMIT. AND SO THEY DON’T WANT TO SEND A BUNCH OF TRAFFIC THAT WAY AND CAUSE EVEN MORE ACCIDENTS AND MAKE IT DANGEROUS FOR THE FOLKS ON THE SHOULDER. SO DELAYS EASTBOUND 80 WESTBOUND STILL GETTING THROUGH. BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE DO HAVE CHAIN REQUIREMENTS ON 80 FROM KINGVALE TO DONNER LAKE, HIGHWAY 50 KYBURZ TO MYERS, AND HIGHWAY 88, PEDDLER HILL TO SILVER LAKE. SO BE PREPARED IF YOU’RE HEADING INTO THE MOUNTAINS WESTBOUND 80. WE’RE SEEING SOME MINOR DELAYS COMING DOWN TO THE SPLIT 50 STILL CRUISING ALONG WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SLOWING AROUND. WHAT? HERE’S 80 AT ANTELOPE ROAD. YOU CAN SEE THAT HEAVY TRAFFIC LEADING IN FIVE IS CLEAR. 99 THROUGH FLORIN ROAD. WE’RE SEEING SOME SLOWER TRAFFIC ON THAT SIDE NOW. JUST CONGESTION AND STOCKTON ALL CLEAR. SO 99 IN THE RED AT 20 MINUTES. I5 A 14 MINUTE RIDE. HIGHWAY 50 20 MINUTES AND 80. A 15 MINUTE RIDE FROM ROSEVILLE DOWN TO THE SPLIT. BACK TO YOU GUYS. ALL RIGHT, BRIAN, THANK YOU. OUR WEATHER COVERAGE CONTINUES. IT IS ANOTHER WET COMMUTE IN THE VALLEY. KCRA 3’S MIKE TESELLE IS ON THE ROAD AND LIVE TRACKER THREE. SO, MIKE, WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW? WELL, BEFORE WE HIT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, LOOK OUT THE WINDSHIELD. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE RAINDROPS COLLECTING ON THE WINDSHIELD. OKAY, PAUL, YOU CAN HIT IT SO YOU CAN SEE AS YOU’RE DRIVING HERE ON WESTBOUND HIGHWAY 50. WE’RE GETTING ON 50 AT 65TH STREET, RIGHT TOWARDS THE MERGE POINT WHERE YOU CAN HEAD OFF TO THE CAP CITY, HEADING OUT TOWARDS CAL EXPO. YOU KNOW, SO FAR A RELATIVELY SMOOTH COMMUTE GIVEN IT IS A WET MORNING. WE’VE GOT WET ROADWAYS. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE THE RAINDROPS OBSCURING THE LENS ON OUR ROOFTOP CAMERA. AND OF COURSE, ON THE ROAD WE SEE WATER SPRAYING OFF THOSE TIRES. SO AGAIN, MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU’RE DRIVING OUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKING BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE RAIN ON THE WINDSHIELD, OR ESPECIALLY SPRAY COMING UP OFF OF TRUCKS OR BUSSES LIKE THE ONE THAT’S NEXT TO US RIGHT NOW. WESTBOUND HIGHWAY 50 HEADING TOWARDS DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO. DURING THIS MORNING’S COMMUTE. THAT YOUR WET UPDATE FROM LIVE TRACKER THREE HERE IN SACRAMENTO, MIKE TESELLE KCRA THREE NEWS. MIKE, THANKS SO MUCH. LET’S GO OUT TO MELANIE WINGO. SHE IS UP I-80 NEAR DONNER SUMMIT. AND MELANIE, TELL US MORE ABOUT THE CONDITIONS THERE. OKAY, SO WE’RE ON THE WESTBOUND SIDE OF INTERSTATE 80. AND FROM THIS VANTAGE POINT, WE CAN SEE THE INCIDENT THAT BRIAN HICKEY WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT IN THE EASTBOUND LANES. AND IF YOU TUNE IN TO THE DIRECTION THAT TRUCK IS FACING. YEAH, THAT TRUCK IS FACING WEST, AND IT IS IN THE EASTBOUND LANES. SO OBVIOUSLY NOT A GOOD SITUATION OUT HERE. THEY ARE HOLDING TRAFFIC AT KINGVALE BECAUSE OF THIS CRASH. A TOW TRUCK ACCORDING TO BRIAN HICKEY, IS COMING IN FROM SPARKS NEVADA. SO IT’S GOING TO BE A BIT BEFORE THIS IS ALL CLEARED. AND TYPICALLY WHEN YOU HAVE CARS, TRUCKS DRIVING PAST AN INCIDENT LIKE THIS, YOU HAVE SNOW ON THE ROADWAY, SNOW COMING DOWN. IT DOES NOT MAKE IT EASY FOR CALTRANS AND CHP TO CLEAR A SCENE LIKE THIS, UNLESS THEY CLOSE THE ROAD AND KEEP CARS BACK FROM THE INCIDENT SCENE. SO THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO BE DOING HERE. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR DRIVERS WHO ARE STOPPED AT KINGVALE? WELL, IT IS A GOOD REMINDER TO BE PREPARED FOR WINTER LIKE DRIVING CONDITIONS ALL THROUGHOUT THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. HAVE THOSE SUPPLIES WITH YOU, BLANKETS, A FULL TANK OF GAS, SOME FOOD, SNACKS, WATER, THAT KIND OF THING IN CASE YOU GET STUCK HELD BACK AS ROAD CREWS CLEAR AN INCIDENT JUST LIKE THIS. THIS IS JUST A PRECURSOR TO WHAT WE SEE ALL THROUGHOUT THE SEASON. BIG RIGS, CARS LOST CONTROL, PERHAPS, AND THEN OFF ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND ROAD. EMERGENCY CREWS HAVE TO DO THEIR PART TO CLEAR IT BEFORE THEY CAN HAVE REGULAR TRAFFIC COME THROUGH. SO THIS IS JUST ONE INCIDENT THAT WE SAW TODAY. THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE EARLIER THIS MORNING IN THE WESTBOUND LANES THAT HAS SINCE BEEN CLEARED. NO ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN THIS PARTICULAR CRASH IS GOING TO BE CLEARED. AS WE DROVE BY IN LIVE TRACKER THREE, IN THE EASTBOUND LANES, WE DID NOTICE THAT THE DRIVER APPEARED TO BE OKAY. THAT DRIVER ALERT AND UP AND IN THE FRONT SEAT OF THAT CAB. SO IT DOESN’T APPEAR THAT THERE ARE ANY INJURIES RELATED TO THIS CRASH. WE’LL KEEP ON TOP OF THE DEVELOPMENTS OUT HERE.

  • More L.A. rain is on the way: A timeline of what to expect

    [ad_1]

    After days of rain, Southern California will get a small reprieve before another storm moves in Thursday.

    Tuesday

    There is a small chance of scattered showers before conditions clear.

    The cold front will have moved away from Los Angeles, but the cold core of the low-pressure system will still be around. “This will bring enough instability to the area for a slight chance of thunderstorm development,” the National Weather Service in Oxnard said.

    Snow levels were at around 7,000 feet on Monday but were expected to drop to 5,000 feet by Tuesday. Officials issued a winter weather advisory for the eastern San Gabriel Mountains and the northern Ventura County mountains that is set to last through Tuesday night. About 2 to 5 inches of snow could fall in the mountains.

    “As for the Grapevine area, there is a chance of a dusting of snow Tuesday morning as the snow levels lower,” the weather service said. The Grapevine is a key travel corridor on the 5 freeway that connects L.A. and Santa Clarita with the Central Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area.

    The highest point of the Grapevine section is the Tejon Pass, which peaks in elevation at 4,144 feet above sea level. At that location, “some non-accumulating snow is possible,” the weather service said.

    Temperatures have chilled with the latest storm. While the L.A. coast and San Gabriel Valley on Monday reached the mid-60s, due to late arriving rain, most of L.A. County’s coastal areas and valleys “struggled to get out of the 50s,” the weather service said.

    Wednesday

    Sunny skies but cool. Highs in the high 50s.

    Thursday

    Thursday’s storm is expected to drop from 0.25 to 0.75 inches of precipitation. That’s on top of the 0.74 inches of rain that fell on downtown L.A. in the 24-hour period that ended at 9 p.m. Monday. Before that, the weekend storm that began Friday brought 2.68 inches of rain to downtown.

    Friday

    A chance of rain but conditions clearing.

    Saturday

    Mostly sunny, highs in low 60s.

  • 7-year-old snowboarder aims for sixth 100-day season

    [ad_1]

    With Killington Resort officially open in Vermont, skiers and riders were excited to kick off their season on Thursday. Among them was Harley Ruffle, a 7-year-old who has gained thousands of followers on social media with his journey on a snowboard.Harley Ruffle is only 7 years old, but he has already completed five seasons of snowboarding for at least 100 days. His quick progress already has him riding with professionals. He first picked up a snowboard at only 2 years old. His family was at a ski shop for his older brother, but ended up leaving with another rider. Harley’s mom, Jill Ruffle, said she turned around and Harley had strapped himself into a mini snowboard. “We brought him into the store in a stroller and he’s on snow, balancing on a snowboard with absolutely zero problems,” she said. From then on, snowboarding was all he wanted to do. Harley is homeschooled and started going to the mountain as much as possible to practice. His mom said that while he began riding with the Killington Mountain School last season, he started with no formal training. She said right away she noticed Harley’s ability to quickly pick up new skills. He landed his first front flip at just 4 years old. “I just try it, and most of the time I get it,” Harley said. Since he began snowboarding, Harley has made it to the mountain a total of 678 days. One season, he was out for 172 days. Now, he is hoping for his sixth 100-day season this year. “That wasn’t something we set out to happen. It was just, again, his passion led to that,” said Jill Ruffle. Harley’s mom began posting videos of him riding several years ago to document his snowboarding journey. Since then, he’s gained over 26,000 followers and sponsors who have supported his progress, providing him with equipment and more. “He’s a goofy, happy little snowboarder,” she said. “I think they want to end up where — you know, see where he ends up on his journey.”Harley’s family has built a community through his snowboarding. He became family friends with professional snowboarders who enjoy riding with him. “Ever since I’ve known him, I swear it was before he could even talk, he was on a snowboard, you know, just smiling, doing his thing,” said professional rider Zeb Powell. Harley said he is happy to begin another season on the slopes. He said he has been waiting to get in his first runs for weeks, and with another year starting, he’s aiming for another 100 days on the mountain.

    [ad_1]

    Police are investigating a shooting at Laney College in Oakland, California, on Thursday.

    LIVE AT 8 A.M. AND WE BEGIN THIS HOUR. WE HAVE A LIVE LOOK AT HIGHWAY 50 AT SOUTH RIVER ROAD. IT’S A KCRA 3 WEATHER IMPACT DAY, AND WE’VE BEEN GEARING UP FOR THIS STORM ALL WEEK. ROADS ARE ALREADY WET AND THE MORNING COMMUTE CONTINUES. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. I’M MIKE CHERRY AND I’M DEIRDRE FITZPATRICK. AS YOU CAN SEE WE’VE GOT TEAM COVERAGE. LOTS OF PEOPLE WORKING FOR YOU THIS MORNING IN SACRAMENTO AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS AS WE ARE TRACKING BOTH RAIN AND WIND. LET’S GO RIGHT OVER TO METEOROLOGIST TAMARA BERG NOW TO GET A CHECK OF THAT FORECAST. AND THE RAIN REALLY RAMPED UP HERE WITHIN ABOUT THE LAST HOUR. YOU’LL SEE THAT DENOTED AS YOU LOOK AT THE RADAR SWEEP. AND IT GOES FROM KIND OF A GREEN COLOR WITHIN TWO HOURS AGO. TO REALLY IN THE LAST HOUR, THAT 7:00 HOUR, IT TURNS INTO THAT BRIGHTER YELLOW, INDICATING THE MORE MODERATE TO INTENSELY HEAVIER BANDS OF RAIN PUNCHING THROUGH AS I PAUSE THE FRAME. NOW TO SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOU’RE HEADING OUT TO TOP OF THE 8:00 HOUR, YOU’LL NOTICE THAT THERE ARE SOME GOOD HEAVY RAINFALL HERE AROUND MUCH OF THE GREATER SACRAMENTO AREA, AS WELL AS EXTENDING HERE IN THROUGH SONORA, WHERE THE RAIN IS REALLY STARTING TO PICK UP TO MORE OF THAT MODERATE TO MODERATELY IMPACTFUL INTENSITY THERE IN TUOLUMNE COUNTY. RAIN’S COMING DOWN PRETTY GOOD. ESPARTO INTO WOODLAND, WINTERS INTO DAVIS, SACRAMENTO, DOWNTOWN, THE METRO AREA. IT IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE SWAMPY IF YOU’RE TRYING TO TAKE OFF AND HEAD INTO DOWNTOWN FOR WORK THIS MORNING. ELK GROVE SHOWING OFF SOME PRETTY GOOD RAIN ALONG WITH GOLD RIVER AND ON UP TOWARDS CAMERON PARK. ROSEVILLE ROCKLIN LINCOLN. EXPECT SOME OF THOSE ROADWAYS TO BE PRETTY WATERLOGGED WITH LIKELY SOME AREAS OF STANDING WATER AT THIS POINT IN THE 8:00 HOUR. ALSO SEEING SOME GOOD SOAKING RAIN FROM COPPEROPOLIS IN THROUGH SONORA AND GOT YOU COVERED HERE ALONG THE 108 STRETCH. RIVERBANK AND MODESTO STARTING TO SEE THE RAIN EASE, BUT HICKMAN AND TURLOCK, IT’S REALLY COMING DOWN, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE HIGHWAY. 132 INTO COULTERVILLE AND HIGHWAY 120 AS WELL. THREE THINGS TO KNOW FOR THE DAY AHEAD. LET ME GET YOU A CAMERA BEHIND ME SO YOU CAN SEE. OH, THAT ONE’S PRETTY MUCH FOGGED IN. HERE’S DOWNTOWN LANDSCAPE FOR YOU. YOU’LL NOTICE THAT THE MORNING COMMUTE IS FILLED WITH STEADY RAIN AND PERIODS OF GUSTY WINDS. IT’S GOING TO BE SOGGY LATER IN THE AFTERNOON WITH PERIODS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN, AND THEN INCHING OUR WAY INTO THE WEEKEND. I WANT YOU TO PLAN FOR PERIODS OF UNSETTLED WEATHER. IT’S NOT GOING TO BE A COMPLETE BUST OF A WEEKEND BY ANY MEANS WITH A STRONG STORM, BUT THERE WILL BE SOME SHOWERS INTERMITTENTLY INTO YOUR WEEKEND. OUTDOOR PLANS FOR TODAY. PLAN FOR A WET AND WINDY CONDITIONS IN THE VALLEY AND THE FOOTHILLS AND IN THE SIERRA. IT’S PRETTY MUCH GOING TO BE RAIN ALL DAY TODAY AND GUSTY WINDS. THE SNOW NOT ARRIVING LIKELY UNTIL OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. COMING UP HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MINUTES, I’LL BREAK DOWN THE TIMING WITH FUTURECAST AND SHOW YOU HOW MUCH RAIN WE COULD EXPECT TO RECEIVE WHEN THE DAY IS SAID AND DONE AGAIN. THAT’S COMING UP IN TEN MINUTES. RIGHT NOW IT’S 802 WITH THE WET AND WINDY CONDITIONS ON THE ROADS. BRIAN, THERE ARE ISSUES. THERE ARE, AND I’LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW FOR EACH TRAFFIC INCIDENT THAT I’M MENTIONING, THERE’S 2 TO 3 MORE THAT I’M NOT MENTIONING. THIS TIME ALLOWS. THIS IS A LOOK AT INTERSTATE 80 AS YOU’RE MAKING YOUR WAY OVER TOWARDS HIGHWAY 50. THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE AN OVERTURNED BIG RIG BLOCKING THE TRANSITION RAMP. MIKE TESELLE JUST ARRIVED IN THAT AREA AND HAS A LIVE PICTURE AND REPORT FROM THAT AREA. MIKE. YEAH, AND BRIAN, WE’RE REALLY HERE TO GIVE YOU A VISUAL OF WHAT YOU’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. WE’RE ALONG WEST CAPITOL. AS YOU LOOK UP. THAT IS THAT TRANSITION FROM 80 OVER TOWARDS EASTBOUND HIGHWAY 50. THIS SPOT IS ALMOST EXACTLY THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE FROM REID AVENUE. SO THAT BACKUP IS SIGNIFICANT TRYING TO GET HERE. THIS IS THAT ELEVATED PORTION THAT COMES UP OVER AND THEN CONNECTS BACK WITH HIGHWAY 50. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE FLASHING LIGHTS AND THE CREWS THAT ARE ON SCENE HERE WORKING TO UPRIGHT AND THEN MOVE THAT BIG RIG. BUT THIS IS THAT ACCIDENT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT, BRIAN. THESE ARE THE EYES WE HAVE ON IT HERE FROM THE GROUND FOR THIS, YOU KNOW, BIG RIG CRASH THAT, AS YOU MENTIONED, JUST ONE OF MULTIPLE INCIDENTS THAT CONTINUE TO KEEP HAPPENING. SO I’M GOING TO GET RIGHT BACK TO YOU TO CONTINUE WITH THAT TRAFFIC COVERAGE. ALL RIGHT, MIKE, THANKS FOR THE LIVE PICTURE FROM THAT AREA. AND AS MIKE INDICATED, IT IS BACKING UP TRAFFIC ACROSS THE BRIGHT BEND BRIDGE ON WESTBOUND 80. YOU CAN GET OVER TO THE CAUSEWAY FROM THERE, BUT IT’S THE TRANSITION RAMP TO EASTBOUND 50 WHERE YOU SEE PURPLE HERE. THAT’S THE AREA THAT’S CLOSED. THIS WAS A BIG RIG AND A CAR INVOLVED IN A COLLISION THERE. BIG DELAYS. WESTBOUND 80. AS YOU’RE COMING DOWN TO THE SPLIT. ONE OF THOSE DELAYS WAS CAUSED BY A CRASH THAT WAS RIGHT NEAR RALEY BOULEVARD. THEY’VE MOVED THAT OVER TO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER. IN FACT, THEY ACTUALLY JUST TOOK THOSE VEHICLES OFF AT NORWOOD. SO THAT’S NOW CLEAR. BUT THE DAMAGE DONE, YOU CAN STILL SEE SPEEDS DOWN INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS, NOT ONLY WESTBOUND BUT EASTBOUND AS WELL. 99 NORTHBOUND COMING UP THROUGH MACK ROAD. SLOW TRAFFIC HERE. AS YOU CAN SEE THAT IS GOING TO SLOW PEOPLE DOWN. COMING IN FROM ELK GROVE AND I-5 ALSO DELAYED THERE. 80 A 29 MINUTE RIDE, 50 TO 26 MINUTE RIDE 99 ALSO IN THE RED AT 26 MINUTES, AND I-5, A 20 MINUTE RIDE. THERE’S ALSO A CRASH NEAR 80 IN GREENBACK, WHERE THERE’S AN OVERTURNED VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER THERE AS WELL. SO IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT, USE CAUTION ON THESE WET AND SLICK ROADS. ALL RIGHT, BRIAN, SOME GOOD ADVICE THIS MORNING, ESPECIALLY ON THIS KCRA 3 WEATHER IMPACT. YEAH, IT’S JUST GOING TO BE A ROUGH COMMUTE NO MATTER WHERE YOU’RE GOING. WE’VE GOT METEOROLOGIST OPHELIA YOUNG IN LIVE TRACKER THREE RIGHT NOW. SO WHERE ARE YOU AT THIS POINT? YES. SO I AM STILL ON I-5. I’M HEADED SOUTH THIS TIME JUST PAST THE AIRPORT WE ARE PASSING, I BELIEVE ARENA RIGHT NOW, HEADED DOWNTOWN. LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I’M SEEING. JUST HIT TRAFFIC NOW. THE RAIN HAS SUBSIDED A LITTLE BIT, BUT IN OUR THREE HOURS OF DRIVING, THIS AREA IS WHERE I SAW THE HEAVIEST RAIN. NOW EARLIER, MY EARPIECE DID DIE, I DID. WE DID PULL OVER SO WE COULD CHARGE THE EARPIECE. AND I’LL TELL YOU, IT IS GUSTY OUT HERE, EVEN THOUGH THE RAIN HAS SUBSIDED A BIT. JUST WALKING AROUND OUTSIDE THAT RAIN IS HITTING YOUR FACE PRETTY GOOD. SO A LITTLE GUSTY. AND EVEN THOUGH THE WIND HAS SUBSIDED, IT’S STILL FEELING REALLY, REALLY WET. BUT RIGHT NOW WE ARE STILL GOING SOUTH. SLOW. AND WHENEVER WE ARE GOING FASTER, THOSE PASSING VEHICLES CAN CERTAINLY PICK UP A LOT OF SPRAY IMPACTING VISIBILITY. NOW, THE HEAVIEST OF THIS RAIN IS COINCIDING WITH THE MORNING RUSH. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IT IS COMING DOWN IN GOOD INCREMENTS. SO A LITTLE PONDING, BUT NOT TOO MUCH. AND HERE’S SOME BETTER NEWS IS IF YOU HAVE AN AFTERNOON COMMUTE, THOSE SHOWERS SHOULD BE LIGHTER AND MORE SCATTERED. BUT NO MATTER WHAT TIME YOU ARE LEAVING, ALWAYS GOOD TODAY TO LEAVE A FEW MINUTES EARLIER. DRIVE A LITTLE BIT SLOWER AND WE’LL ALL GET TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE. SAFELY BACK TO YOU GUYS IN THE STUDIO. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SO YOLO COUNTY CERTAINLY FEELING THE IMPACTS OF TODAY’S STORM AS WELL. LET’S GET TO KCRA 3’S ERIN HEFT THIS MORNING. YEAH. GOOD MORNING GUYS. DRY PERSON AFTER DRY PERSON. HELLO FROM YOUR WET CREW OUT IN YOLO COUNTY. TECHNICALLY. DAVIS, TAKE A LOOK. THIS IS CENTRAL PARK, WHERE ALL OF THE LEAVES ARE COMING DOWN, AND THERE’S A LOT OF WATER ON THE GROUND. WE WERE PROMISED BY OUR METEOROLOGIST ALL MORNING LONG. THAT 7:00 WAS WHEN IT WAS GOING TO GET BAD. NOW, I DON’T WANT TO MISLEAD ANYONE. THIS IS THE LOW PART OF THE PARKING LOT, BUT YOU CAN SEE LOTS OF RAIN. I MEAN, LOTS OF ACCUMULATED WATER IS MORE LIKE IT. YOU CAN SEE THAT LITTLE DRAIN THERE, LOTS OF LEAVES ACCUMULATING AROUND IT. BUT MY GOODNESS, YOU’RE KIND OF LOOKING AT THE ONLY PLACE OF REFUGE IN THE PARK. IF WE WERE SMARTER, WE WOULD HAVE STOOD UNDERNEATH THAT. BUT THAT REALLY DOESN’T TELL THAT. INTERESTING OF A STORY. BUT REALLY, IF YOU ARE IN THIS KIND OF DWELLING AND YOU’RE SHOOTING OUT AND YOU SEE HOW HEAVY THE RAIN HAS GOTTEN OVER THE LAST HOUR, HOUR AND A HALF, IT’S QUITE INTENSE OUT HERE. AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT OUR METEOROLOGISTS HAVE PROMISED ALL MORNING LONG. IT’S ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS IN YOUR CAREER WHERE YOU GO, GOSH, THIS IS JUST A PART OF THE JOB. BUT THIS WATER RESISTANT JACKET JUST AIN’T CUTTING IT AT THIS POINT IN THE MORNING, BECAUSE AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR YOU ARE WATERLOGGED. SO PLEASE, IF YOU’RE SOMEONE GOING TO BE OUTSIDE TODAY AT ANY KIND OF JUNCTURE, BRING THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT AND ALSO GIVE YOURSELF SOME EXTRA TIME ON THE ROADS BECAUSE THE PAVEMENT IS VERY, VERY, VERY

    A storm bringing soaking rain and gusty winds arrived Thursday in Northern California. KCRA 3’s weather team issued an Impact Day for Thursday because of how wet and windy conditions will affect outdoor activities and travel for the Valley, Foothills and Sierra. RainA few showers began Wednesday evening, but rainfall slightly increased Thursday morning, impacting the morning commute for many. Meteorologist Tamara Berg said some of the steadiest rain could hit after sunrise.Steady rain will taper to scattered showers in the Valley on Thursday afternoon. The Foothills will see a continuous soaking rain all day, with the heaviest rates expected south of Highway 50.The Sacramento Valley will see 1 to 2 inches of rain. San Joaquin Valley totals will be slightly lower. Stockton and Modesto could both see up to 1 inch of rain. Lesser amounts are expected west of Interstate 5. The Foothills will be quite wet, with communities north of Highway 50 seeing 2 to 3 inches of rain Thursday. This includes Nevada City and Placerville. Foothills communities south of Highway 50, including Sonora, could also see 2 to 3 inches of rain. Berg said localized flooding is possible, but it is unlikely that rivers or creeks will be affected by this weather system.SnowThere will be plenty of precipitation over the Tahoe area summits, but most of it will come down as rain with this storm. The snow level will stay above 7,000 feet during daylight hours on Thursday, keeping Donner and Echo summits wet and windy. Cooler air will drain in Thursday night into Friday morning, dropping the snow level to about 6,500 feet, but at this point, moisture will be running out. A couple of slushy inches of snow is expected over the Tahoe summits Thursday night into Friday morning. This could be enough for chain controls and travel delays.Bigger snow totals are expected over the Sonora and Ebbetts Pass. When chain controls are in effect, the speed limit on Interstate 80 is 30 mph. On Highway 50, the speed limit is 25 mph.WindA Wind Advisory will be in effect for the Valley and delta region Wednesday night through Thursday afternoon. Wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph are possible during that time, with the peak gusts most likely to occur Thursday morning. Sierra gusts could top 60 mph in wind-prone areas. Gusts around Lake Tahoe will be closer to 45 mph. Wind gusts of 40 mph or more can be enough to bring down weak tree limbs and cause isolated power outages.

    Northern California forecast: Warm and quiet Sunday

    Thanks to light northerly winds, Sunday will feel significantly warmer.

    BIT WARMER THAN TODAY, BUT TODAY PHENOMENAL. CONSIDERING THAT NOVEMBER 8TH. NORMAL IS 68 DEGREES. WE WERE THREE DEGREES WARMER THAN THAT, WITH AN OBSERVED HIGH OF 71 AT THE SACRAMENTO EXECUTIVE AIRPORT. HEY, THE DAILY RECORD 81 DEGREES. WE SET THAT BACK IN 1955. WE’RE GOING TO BE A LITTLE CLOSER TO THAT TOMORROW. SO THE SECOND HALF OF YOUR WEEKEND IS GOING TO BE A HANDFUL OF DEGREES WARMER. BUT RIGHT NOW, RATHER COOL. AS WE STEP OUT THIS EVENING, TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S IN YUBA CITY AND SACRAMENTO, STOCKTON MODESTO ALSO READY TO DROP DOWN INTO THE 50S. AUBURN AT 54 DEGREES. COMPARE THAT TO CLASS PLACERVILLE AT 64 TRUCKEE AND SOUTH LAKE QUICKLY IN THE 30S. NOW CALM WINDS. IN FACT, THEY ARE NONEXISTENT. BUT WE DO NOTICE THAT THEY ARE FLOWING OFF THE MOUNTAINS AND OUT OF THE NORTH, AND THAT IS GOING TO BE THE WIND DIRECTION TOMORROW UNDER THIS AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE. TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BUMP UP BY A FEW DEGREES TOMORROW. SO 71 TODAY WE’LL GET TO 77 DEGREES TOMORROW. DESPITE A FEW CLOUDS AROUND THE REGION INCREASING BY AFTERNOON, 75 IN THE FOOTHILLS AND IN THE SIERRA LOOKING FOR HIGHS NEAR 67 DEGREES. HOW ABOUT WE. COPY AND PASTE THAT FOR MONDAY. YOUR WORKWEEK. OFF TO A BEAUTIFUL START. HEY, VETERANS DAY IS NICE TOO, WITH HIGHS NEAR 75 DEGREES UNDER PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. WEDNESDAY WILL NOTICE THAT TEMPERATURE DROP BACK INTO THE LOW 70S, AND ON THURSDAY BACK BELOW THE NORMAL. WHAT HAPPENS? OUR NEXT STORM SYSTEM ARRIVES. WE HAVE THIS CUT OFF LOW THAT WILL BE OFF THE COAST, AND WE HAVE A TROUGH THAT WILL BE SWINGING IN TO BOOT. THAT ENERGY IN. CHANCE OF RAIN ARRIVES OVERNIGHT. GOING INTO THURSDAY MORNING. LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE SOME GOOD SHOWERS FORECAST FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THURSDAY, AND SOME SNOW IN THE SIERRA TURNING INTO SCATTERED SHOWERS THAT LINGER ALL THE WAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS IS RETURNING RAIN, MOUNTAIN SNOW AND BREEZY IF NOT WINDY CONDITIONS STARTING THURSDAY EARLY MORNING LASTING THROUGH FRIDAY. WHAT WE’RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AND IS STILL UNCERTAIN AT THIS MOMENT, IS RAIN AND SNOW AMOUNTS. THE STRENGTH OF THE WINDS WILL BE BREEZY OR WINDY, AND WHERE AND ALSO THE EXACT TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM. BUT I WILL SAY THAT IF YOU ARE A MORNING COMMUTER, I WOULD CERTAINLY KEEP AN EYE ON THAT THURSDAY MORNING COMMUTE. MODEL DATA RIGHT NOW, SUGGESTING THAT THE HEAVIEST RAIN IS GOING TO MOVE THROUGH NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AT THAT TIME. SO IN THE SIERRA, GREAT WEEKEND START TO THE WEEK, BUT TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE DROPPING FROM NEAR 70 DEGREES ON MONDAY, DOWN TO 50 ON THURSDAY THANKS TO RAIN AND TURNING TO SNOW.

  • Elderly woman tells bank employees she was kidnapped, ordered to withdraw large sum of cash

    [ad_1]

    Two people were arrested after an older woman told bank employees in Ceres, California, that she had been kidnapped and was ordered to withdraw a large amount of money, according to police. Wells Fargo employees reported the incident to police on Thursday. Police responded and immediately arrested a woman who police later learned identified herself with a false name. Police said that 33-year-old Nicholas Payton, who is a felon on probation, was also involved in the kidnapping. He fled the area before police arrived but was arrested a block away.Officers said they found a loaded rifle without a serial number in Payton’s backpack. Both suspects were booked on kidnapping, elder abuse charges and conspiracy to commit a crime charges. Payton was also booked for being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm, a prohibited person in possession of ammunition, carrying a loaded firearm in public, carrying a firearm while in possession of a controlled substance, and possession of an unserialized firearm.The victim was reunited with her family.Police said Saturday that they later learned with the help of the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office and fingerprint analysis that one of the suspect’s real names was Stephanie Maghoney. She had an active felony warrant for her arrest in Tracy, California, for burglary. Maghoney was re-arrested for that outstanding warrant and now also faces a felony charge for false impersonation.

  • Judges order USDA to restart SNAP funding, but hungry families won’t get immediate relief

    [ad_1]

    Two federal judges told the U.S. Department of Agriculture in separate rulings Friday that it must begin using billions of dollars in contingency funding to provide federal food assistance to poor American families despite the federal shutdown, but gave the agency until Monday to decide how to do so.

    Both Obama-appointed judges rejected Trump administration arguments that more than $5 billion in USDA contingency funds could not legally be tapped to continue Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for nearly 42 million people — about 1 in 8 Americans — while the federal government remains closed. But both also left unclear how exactly the relief should be provided, or when it will arrive for millions of families set to lose benefits starting Saturday.

    The two rulings came almost simultaneously Friday.

    In Massachusetts, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani stopped short of granting California and a coalition of 24 other Democrat-led states a temporary restraining order they had requested. But she ruled that the states were likely to succeed in their arguments that the USDA’s total shutoff of SNAP benefits — despite having billions in emergency contingency funds on hand — was unlawful.

    Talwani gave USDA until Monday to tell her whether they would authorize “only reduced SNAP benefits” using the contingency funding — which would not cover the total $8.5 billion to $9 billion needed for all November benefits, according to the USDA — or would authorize “full SNAP benefits using both the Contingency Funds and additional available funds.”

    Separately, in Rhode Island, U.S. District Judge John McConnell granted a temporary restraining order requested by nonprofit organizations, ruling from the bench that SNAP must be funded with at least the contingency funds “as soon as possible,” and requesting an update on progress by Monday.

    California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta — whose office helped bring the states’ lawsuit — praised the decisions of the two courts, saying SNAP benefits “provide an essential hunger safety net” to 5.5 million Californians. “Simply put, the stakes could not be higher.”

    Skye Perryman, president and chief executive of Democracy Forward, which represented the nonprofit groups, said the ruling in that case “affirms what both the law and basic decency require” and “protects millions of families, seniors, and veterans from being used as leverage in a political fight.”

    The White House referred questions about the ruling to the Office of Management and Budget, which did not respond to a request for comment. It was not clear if the administration would appeal the rulings.

    While the orders were a win for states and the nation’s SNAP recipients, they do not mean that all those recipients will be spared a lapse in their food aid, state officials stressed. State and local food banks continued scrambling to prepare for a deluge of need starting Saturday.

    Asked Thursday if a ruling in the states’ favor would mean SNAP funds would be immediately loaded onto CalFresh and other benefits cards, Bonta said “the answer is no, unfortunately.”

    “Our best estimates are that [SNAP benefit] cards could be loaded and used in about a week,” he said, calling that lag “problematic.”

    “There could be about a week where people are hungry and need food,” he said. For new applicants to the program, he said, it could take even longer.

    The rulings came as the now monthlong shutdown continued Friday with no immediate end in sight.

    It also came after President Trump called Thursday for the Senate to end the shutdown by first ending the filibuster, a longstanding rule that requires 60 votes to overcome objections to legislation. The rule has traditionally been favored by lawmakers as a means of blocking particularly partisan measures, and is currently being used by Democrats to resist the will of the current 53-seat Republican majority.

    Los Angeles Regional Food Bank Chief Executive Michael Flood, standing alongside Bonta as members of the California National Guard worked behind them stuffing food boxes Thursday, said his organization was preparing for massive weekend lines, similar to those seen during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    “This is a disaster type of situation,” Flood said.

    “5.5 million Californians, 1.5 million children and adults in L.A. County alone, will be left high and dry — illegally so, unnecessarily so, in a way that is morally bankrupt,” Bonta said.

    Bonta blamed the shutdown on Trump and his administration, and said the USDA broke the law by not tapping its contingency funds to continue payments.

    Bonta said SNAP benefits have never been disrupted during previous federal government shutdowns, and should never have been disrupted during this shutdown, either.

    “That was avoidable,” he said. “Trump created this problem.”

    The Trump administration has blamed the shutdown and the looming disruption to SNAP benefits entirely on Democrats in Congress, who have blocked short-term spending measures to restart the government and fund SNAP. Democrats are holding out to pressure Republicans into rescinding massive cuts to subsidies that help millions of Americans afford health insurance.

    Abigail Jackson, a White House spokesperson, previously told The Times that Democrats should be the ones getting asked “when the shutdown will end,” because “they are the ones who have decided to shut down the government so they can use working Americans and SNAP benefits as ‘leverage’ to pursue their radical left wing agenda.”

    “Americans are suffering because of Democrats,” Jackson said.

    In their opposition to the states’ request for a temporary restraining order requiring the disbursement of funds, attorneys for the USDA argued that using emergency funds to cover November SNAP benefits would deplete funds meant to provide “critical support in the event of natural disasters and other uncontrollable catastrophes,” and could actually cause more disruption to benefits down the line.

    They wrote that SNAP requires between $8.5 billion and $9 billion each month, and the USDA’s contingency fund has only about $5.25 billion, meaning it could not fully fund November benefits even if it did release contingency funding. Meanwhile, “a partial payment has never been made — and for good reason,” because it would force every state to recalculate benefits for recipients and then recalibrate their systems to provide the new amounts, they wrote.

    That “would take weeks, if it can be done at all,” and would then have to be undone in order to issue December benefits at normal levels, assuming the shutdown would have lifted by then, they wrote.

    Simply pausing the benefits to immediately be reissued whenever the shutdown ends is the smarter and less disruptive course of action, they argued.

    In addition to suing the administration, California and its leaders have been rushing to ensure that hungry families have something to eat in coming days. Gov. Gavin Newsom directed $80 million to food banks to stock up on provisions, and activated the National Guard to help package food for those who need it.

    Counties have also been working to offset the need, including by directing additional funding to food banks and other resource centers and asking partners in the private sector to assist.

    Dozens of organizations in California have written to Newsom calling on him to use state funds to fully cover the missing federal benefits, in order to prevent “a crisis of unthinkable magnitude,” but Newsom has suggested that is not possible given the scale of funding withheld.

    SNAP served about 41.7 million people in 2024, at an annual cost of nearly $100 billion, according to the USDA. Children and older people accounted for more than 63% of California recipients.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.

  • Prince Andrew stripped of royal title over ties to Epstein scandal

    [ad_1]

    After a year of embarrassing sex allegations related to Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew on Thursday was stripped of his title by Buckingham Palace.

    “Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor,” a statement said. “These censures are deemed necessary, not withstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him. Their majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”

    The move comes amid years of outrage over connections between Andrew and Epstein. Andrew has denied any wrongdoing but has been stripped of positions for several years.

    Andrew stepped away from the spotlight after he was linked to the notorious late billionaire financier. This month Andrew publicly announced he would not use his title or honours, distancing himself even further from the royal family.

    “With His Majesty’s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further,” he said in an Oct. 17 statement released by Buckingham Palace. “In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family.”

    Andrew continued to deny the accusations. But the royal family’s decision to strip him of his titles, after emails emerged that he remained in contact with Epstein longer than he previously admitted, is a grave consequence for King Charles III’s younger brother, who has faced questions about his relationship to Epstein.

    Andrew faced accusations that he had sex with Virginia Giuffre, who said she was trafficked by Epstein, when she was 17. Giuffre sued Andrew and the two reached an out-of-court settlement in 2022, but Andrew did not admit any wrongdoing.

    Guiffre died this year at the age of 41. After her death, her book, “Nobody’s Girl,” was published, in which she alleged that Andrew acted as if “having sex with me was his birthright.”

    She also alleged in the book that Andrew’s team hired internet trolls to harass her.

    Orlando police discuss how to stay safe this Halloween

    The Orlando Police Department will hosts its annual trunk-or-treat event on Thursday, Oct. 30 from 4-7 p.m.

    AGENCIES ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA ARE GOING INTO OVERDRIVE TO HELP KEEP EVERYONE SAFE AND MAKE THE MOST OF HALLOWEEN. YOU SEE OUR COUNTDOWN TO DAYS 14 HOURS, 17 MINUTES AND 45 SECONDS. BUT WHO’S GETTING SPECIFIC? CORPORAL MICHELLE ROGERS AND SERGEANT RODNEY VANCE FROM THE ORLANDO POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE JOINING ME THIS MORNING. THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING IN, GUYS. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. WE’RE HAPPY TO BE HERE. LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT PARENTS GUARDIANS NEED TO BE THINKING ABOUT. WE IT’S A VERY EXCITING TIME OF YEAR. BUT ALSO WHAT KIND OF CONVERSATIONS MAYBE WE SHOULD BE HAVING WITH OUR KIDS AHEAD OF FRIDAY. IT’S IMPORTANT TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS ALWAYS ABOUT SAFETY, AND SAFETY IS ALWAYS PARAMOUNT WHEN IT COMES TO HAVING FUN, AND SOMETIMES WE GET CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT, SO IT’S IMPORTANT TO BE REMINDING YOURSELF ABOUT THINGS OF SAFETY, LIKE WEARING REFLECTIVE CLOTHING, STAYING WELL LIT, THINGS THAT GLOW, MAKING SURE THAT PARENTS ARE CHECKING CANDY IF THINGS ARE UNWRAPPED, MAKE SURE YOU JUST TOSS IT. DON’T EVEN BOTHER FOLLOWING TRAFFIC RULES. THINGS OF THAT NATURE. LET’S TALK SPECIFICALLY WHEN IT COMES TO OUR YOUNGER KIDS, WHEN THEY GO OUT TRICK OR TREATING, MINE ARE SEVEN AND NINE AND THEY ASK, MOM, CAN WE GO OUT BY OURSELVES? I SAID, NO, SORRY, I’M GOING TO BE GOING WITH YOU. WHAT KIND OF CONVERSATION SHOULD WE BE HAVING WITH THAT AGE? SO WITH THAT AGE AND I HAVE LITTLE ONES TOO, SO I CAN RELATE. I USUALLY SIT DOWN WITH THEM AND TALK ABOUT A PLAN. INVOLVE THEM IN YOUR PLAN. PLAN YOUR ROUTE. ALSO TALK ABOUT WE’RE ONLY GOING TO VISIT HOMES THAT ARE WELL LIT, THAT HAVE DECORATIONS OF HALLOWEEN, AND THEY’RE PARTICIPATING IN THE FESTIVITIES. ANOTHER THING TO REMIND OUR LITTLE ONES TOO, IS THAT USE THE SIDEWALK. THEY KNOW. LOOK TO THE LEFT. LOOK TO THE RIGHT. BEFORE CROSSING. USE MOMMY’S HAND. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW. BUT LIKE I SAID BEFORE, SOMETIMES THEY GET EXCITED AND CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT MOMENT. SO STRENGTH IN NUMBERS RELY ON YOUR NEIGHBORS, YOUR FRIENDS, MORE EYES. TRICK OR TREAT. AS A GROUP. IT’S A GREAT THING AND A GREAT TOOL TO HAVE AS YOUR FRIENDS. MINE IS A WEREWOLF AND EVEN HIS MASK. I WAS LIKE, I MIGHT HAVE TO CUT THE HOLES AROUND THE EYES A LITTLE BIT MORE BECAUSE I FELT LIKE HE COULDN’T EVEN SEE, YOU KNOW, WHERE HE WAS WALKING. SO HAVING TO BE CAREFUL. THAT’S A GREAT IDEA ABOUT OUR TEENS. I KNOW OUR TEENS PROBABLY WANT TO GO OUT AND BE BY THEMSELVES. SO WHAT SHOULD WE TELL OUR KIDS THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT OLDER, A LITTLE BIT OF THE SAME TIPS THAT GO ALONG WITH THE YOUNG ONES. MAKE SURE THEY STAY IN GROUPS. MAKE SURE THEIR COSTUMES THAT IF THEY’RE CARRYING ANYTHING THAT MAY LOOK LIKE A WEAPON, THAT THE WEAPONS CLEARLY LOOK LIKE THEY’RE FAKE. SO PEOPLE DON’T CONFUSE THEM WITH BEING REAL. MAKE SURE THAT THEY ALL HAVE PHONES THESE DAYS. SO MAKE SURE IF YOU’RE NOT GOING TO BE WITH THEM THAT THEY HAVE THEIR LOCATION SERVICES ON THEIR PHONE ON. SO IF SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN, YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE. AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE, AS A PARENT, HAVE A GENERAL IDEA OF WHO THEY’RE GOING OUT WITH. DON’T JUST LET THEM GO ON OUT WITH PEOPLE WHO YOU MAY NOT KNOW. THAT WAY, IF YOU CAN’T GET IN CONTACT WITH THEM, THERE’S SOMEBODY ELSE IN THE GROUP THAT YOU CAN GET IN CONTACT WITH. I WAS RAISED BY MILITARY FOLK. THEY SAID, FILE THE FLIGHT PLAN AND STICK TO IT. THAT’S RIGHT. MISCONCEPTIONS, THINGS THAT WE DON’T THINK ABOUT THAT PARENTS SHOULD KNOW, THINGS THAT WE DON’T THINK ABOUT SOMETIMES IS JUST TRICK OR TREATING AS A GROUP. SOMETIMES WE JUST GET SO CAUGHT UP IN THE RUSHING OF GETTING THE COSTUMES ON AND RUSHING AND TRYING TO GO BEFORE IT GETS DARK OUT. BUT ONE THING THAT YOU CAN REMEMBER IS BRING A FLASHLIGHT. A FLASHLIGHT CAN ALSO LIGHT YOUR PATH ONCE THE STREETLIGHTS COME ON, IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT IT’S TIME TO STOP HAVING FUN. IT JUST MEANS THAT WE’RE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR SAFETY. AND IF WE WORK TOGETHER, IT’S GOING TO BE AWESOME AND YOU GUYS CAN HAVE A SAFE HALLOWEEN. SPEAKING OF SAFE, YOU GUYS HAVE AN EVENT. WHAT ARE THE DETAILS FOR THAT? YES. SO ON THURSDAY AT OUR HEADQUARTERS BUILDING ON SOUTH STREET, WE’LL BE HAVING A TRUNK OR TREAT EVENT FROM 4 TO 7 P.M. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE OFFICERS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT ARE GOING TO BE SETTING UP THEIR CARS. WE’LL HAVE PLENTY OF CANDY AND EVENTS FOR KIDS AND FAMILIES TO COME OUT AND ENJOY IN THE SAFETY OF THE POLICE STATION. YOU KNOW IT’S SAFE AND YOU GET TO MEET SOME OF YOUR LOCAL HEROES, TOO. THAT IS A GREAT WAY TO DO THAT. WE DID HAVE THE INFORMATION UP ON THE SCREEN. WE’LL ALSO POST A LINK TO THIS ON OUR WEBSITE WESH.COM. SERGEANT VANCE
