Tiger Woods is 'awake, responsive and recovering in his hospital room' after extensive surgery on Tuesday to his lower right leg and ankle, following a crash in California that police said he was lucky to survive. Woods, 45, was put under general anesthetic at Harbor-UCLA hospital as surgeons fitted metal rods, screws and pins to his shattered right shinbone and calf bone following the crash, which happened around 7.15am Tuesday in south Los Angeles. Anish Mahajan, chief medical officer at the hospital, said Woods suffered comminuted open fractures of his tibia and fibula - where the bone splinters into two...

Fry’s Electronics is going out of business. KRON4 has confirmed that the iconic Bay Area retailer is permanently closing the doors of all stores nationwide. The company is expected to post closure information on its website early Wednesday.

President Joe Biden has been in office for a month, and it’s safe to say that his approach to the coronavirus pandemic is no improvement at all over the last administration’s. Biden came soaring into Washington with a bunch of extraordinary promises about how he would take Trump’s failed plan to defeat the virus and turn it into a winning strategy. Well, we’re not sure what happened to those promises, but who can possibly be impressed by what we’ve seen thus far? In regards to getting schools opened back up, Biden’s message is so confusing, contradictory, and unscientific that he’s...

When New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was first accused of undercounting nursing home deaths from Covid-19, his administration offered a simple explanation: The state did not include nursing home residents who died in the hospital in the publicly posted tally of coronavirus deaths linked to long-term care facilities, officials said, because it wanted to avoid a “double count” of those deaths in the statewide total. But New York stands apart from other states in taking this approach to counting nursing home deaths, research experts said - a decision that made New York’s tally of nursing home deaths appear lower than...

Joy Behar quipped to her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that she couldn’t “wait to see” attorney general nominee Merrick Garland, once confirmed, indict Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) for being “part of the insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

A group of House and Senate Republicans is asking President Joe Biden to withdraw his nomination of California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D) to be Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary, citing his support for taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits for illegal aliens. In a letter to Biden, 11 Senate Republicans and 64 House Republicans — led by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) — are asking Biden to rescind Becerra’s nomination to lead HHS due to his “embrace of radical policies on immigration,” among other issues. “Mr. Becerra seeks to decriminalize illegal immigration, which would extend expensive government...

Liberal dark money groups spent a record-breaking $145 million to get Joe Biden elected, and now they are cashing in. These groups are pushing President Biden to nominate dark money appointees and pass their extreme left-wing policies. From top to bottom, Mr. Biden’s staff is filled with people affiliated with dark money. His chief of staff, Ron Klain, was a board member of the dark money group CAP Action Fund before joining the Biden administration. Similarly, Gina McCarthy, the White House National Climate Adviser, led the Natural Resources Defense Council, a climate action dark money group that has received millions...

Less than a week after his death, Bette Midler has compared Rush Limbaugh to the Ku Klux Klan, tweeting a meme that shows a group of figures wearing white hoods and robes with the heading “Find Rush Limbaugh.” Bette Midler tweeted the image Monday, just five days after the conservative talk radio legend died following a battle with lung cancer. The meme shows one of the hooded figures wearing the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which former President Donald Trump bestowed on Limbaugh last year.

The legend goes that whale sick – ambergris – is extremely valuable. But evidence suggests that ambergris is not vomited up by whales at all. In fact, it may come out of the other end…Generally, we don’t think too much about our excretions – we like to dispose of them as soon as possible. However, one group of whales, sperm whales, produce an excretory substance called ‘ambergris’ that is very valuable indeed. There are three species of sperm whale. The iconic sperm whale, which is the largest toothed whale on the planet, and then the much smaller and less...

“Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place: For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief” (Proverbs 24:15-16 KJV).

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) is calling on Florida mayors not to lower their flags in honor of the late talk radio pioneer Rush Limbaugh, a move which would be in defiance of an order by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). “Rush Limbaugh spent his career normalizing and popularizing hatred and bigotry against people of color, immigrants, women, and the LGBTQ+ community. He built a brand around disgusting insults, bolstering rape culture, spewing lies about the AIDS crisis, and nonstop bullying,” Wasserman Schultz wrote in a letter to local mayors.

Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation has revealed its finances for the first time, noting that the group raked in $90million in donations last year. The nonprofit has shared its financial snapshot exclusively with The Associated Press amid accusations from local chapters that they are not being given any of the money. But the fight is far from over for the foundation, widely seen as a steward of the Black Lives Matter movement, with only one BLM group in Denver having signed a multi-year agreement with the national association to receive funds.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blasted the Biden administration Tuesday for reopening a temporary influx center for unaccompanied minors in Carrizo Springs, Texas and a shelter in Miami, Florida, where now-Vice President Kamala Harris protested outside of in June 2019. 'This is not okay, never has been okay, never will be okay - no matter the administration or party,' the New York Democrat tweeted. The Washington Post reported Monday that the emergency facility was being reactivated to hold up to 700 children ages 13 through 17.

China is caught up in a very delicate balance. Beijing is being forced to walk a very fine line to keep up with growing energy demand while also shoring up the country’s energy security, and all without compromising the entire world’s ability to decarbonize quickly enough to avoid catastrophic climate change. So far, it looks like Beijing is struggling--if not outright failing--to pull it off. Despite the blow that China received as the first country to struggle with the novel coronavirus pandemic, the country achieved the amazing superlative of being the one and only major economy to achieve even a...

According to a Facebook post by the Phoenix Police Department, the unlucky parents purchased the toy from a thrift store in El Mirage, Arizona. Before letting their daughter play with the toy, the parents cleaned and washed it only to discover the bag with more than 5,000 pills "believed to be...
