Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals family history behind his antisemitism stance

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:56:01 GMT

By Chandelis Duster | CNNFormer California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday spoke out against antisemitism and hate, pointing to his family history in the hope it would stand as an example for others.“My father was, and so many other millions of men were, sucked into a hate system through lies and deceit. And so, we have seen where that leads,” Schwarzenegger told CNN’s Dana Bash in an exclusive interview, after earlier telling her at a forum at the University of Southern California that he had been “born with a father that was a Nazi.”“I’ve seen it firsthand how broken this man’s — this man were,” he continued. “The kinds of atrocities that happened. How many millions of people had to die and then they ended up losers … in the Confederacy, losers, as they all have, this just doesn’t work. I mean, let’s just go and get along. And love is more powerful than hate.”The actor, who was born i...

49ers draft preview: Five predictions that could go right or wrong

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:56:01 GMT

SANTA CLARA – The 49ers don’t do boring drafts.Something will surprise you the next three days, even if they’re not “on the clock” until No. 99 overall Friday night.Predicting what they’ll spring on us is an exercise based on educated guesses, historical trends, insider knowledge, and, if you’re into conspiracy theories, Reddit-room sleuthing.We already know how “kind of painful” it was for general manager John Lynch to sit out last year’s first round. He recalled Monday that “it’s a lot of sitting and waiting and seeing names go off that you really like.”Last year’s boredom was overcome by Day 1 trade drama. Deebo Samuel’s trade request went unfulfilled, while fellow wide receivers A.J. Brown and Marquise Brown were moved from their respective teams. Three months later, Samuel signed a contract extension.San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch smiles while speaking to the media ahead of the NFL Draft at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Monday, April 22, ...

Opinion: How could the A’s ungrateful owner do this to us?

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:56:01 GMT

We’ve been dumped before, but this one feels like a bat to the head.How could they do this to us? And by “they,” I’m including a long list of guilty, betraying, ungrateful, emotionally abusive parties, starting with Messrs. Fisher and Kaval. What did we ever do to them besides giving them our money and cheering for their underfunded team?We showed up in the rain, in the smoke, in the heat, in the marine layer. We showed up when they were 3-15 and down by 10 runs and stayed through the 9th inning (as in last week). We took out-of-town guests to Monday night games and bought them $95 Khris Davis jerseys. We drummed, we bought hot dogs from Hal, we believed in Stephen Vogt. The only thing we never did was pay for parking.I’ve had divorces that were less painful than this. And like a bad marriage, everyone understands logically that the end is inevitable, has been foretold for decades, and is actually a step toward healing. But when the papers finally arrive, the shock and heartbreak is...

Five years in the making: SF Giants’ LaMonte Wade Jr. hits first career home run off a lefty

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:56:01 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — A small sample size, albeit over a five-year period, has kept LaMonte Wade Jr. from getting everyday playing time in the big leagues.The numbers haven’t helped. They’re right there for all to see.Not a single big leaguer in the last five years has been as ineffective against left-handed pitching as Wade, whose .338 OPS off lefties ranks dead last among all 521 players with at least 100 plate appearances since the start of the 2019 season.That finally changed on Wednesday night.Wade got a 93-mph fastball from Cardinals lefty Steven Matz and launched it 407 feet for a home run, the first off a lefty in his five-year career.“Today it came together for LaMonte,” manager Gabe Kapler said after the Giants’ 7-3 win.It happened by accident. Wade was never supposed to be in the lineup. A late scratch to Mike Yastrzemski opened the door for Kapler to make an adjustment. And Wade, whose patient plate approach has made him a quality leadoff hitter against right-handed pitc...

Wall Street stirs as debt ceiling brinksmanship mounts

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:56:01 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The first alarm bells are starting to go off on Wall Street as brinkmanship over raising the U.S. government’s $31.4 trillion debt limit raises worries in financial markets. The stakes are immense. Democrats and Republicans are arguing over whether to raise the cap that’s been set for the U.S. government’s borrowing. It’s a debate that’s happened many times before, each time ending with a default-defying increase.Failure to find a fix would spell disaster for many, not least holders of U.S. debt who wouldn’t get promised payments on time. Economists widely expect a recession to follow and potential chaos in markets. U.S. Treasurys are the foundation of financial markets around the world, on top of which all kinds of other investments set their prices, from stocks to foreign currencies. While U.S. stocks have remained mostly calm through the latest debt-ceiling drama, volatility strategists at Barclays Capital point to another corne...
