Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:39:45 GMT

A local man has made it his life’s work to document the stories of veterans from World War II from around the globe while the few remaining alive are able to tell their stories. Southern California native Rishi Sharma said he has always had a passion for the history of World War II. What started out as a high school project, speaking with veterans about their days in combat, turned into an adventurous career that’s taken him around the world.  “We’ve done interviews in Canada, all over the UK, Australia, New Zealand, France, the Netherlands,” he told KTLA’s Kareen Wynter.  A project seven years in the making, the 25-year-old continues to spotlight these unsung surviving heroes, some of whom are telling their stories for the very first time.  On a recent morning in Westlake Village, Sharma’s old neighborhood, he was reconnecting retired Army Staff Sergeant Jack Moran.

House rejects effort to expel Rep. George Santos, R-NY

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:39:45 GMT

By Kevin Freking and Stephen Groves | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Rep. George Santos easily survived a vote Wednesday to expel him from the House as most Republicans and 31 Democrats opted to withhold punishment while both his criminal trial and a House Ethics Committee investigation proceed.The effort to kick Santos out of the House was led by his fellow New York Republicans, who are anxious to distance themselves from a colleague infamous for fabricating his life story and accused of stealing from donors, lying to Congress and receiving unemployment benefits he did not deserve.But the resolution failed to gain the required two-thirds vote. Supporters could not even gain a simple majority, with the final vote being 179 for expulsion and 213 against.To succeed, numerous Republican lawmakers would have had to break ranks with newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson, who has said Santos should get his day in court. Johnson, R-La., also recently told Fox News that if Congress is going to e...

House rejects move to censure Rep. Tlaib over Israel remarks

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:39:45 GMT

By Farnoush Amiri | Associated PressWASHINGTON — The House late Wednesday rejected an effort to censure Democratic Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, scrapping a Republican attempt to condemn the only Palestinian-American in Congress over her recent rhetoric around the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.A measure to move forward with a censure resolution of Tlaib, a punishment one step below expulsion from the House, was dismissed with broad bipartisan support as both parties raised concerns about violating First Amendment rights.A Democratic effort to in turn censure Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who had sponsored the Tlaib resolution, was called off in response.The scheduled votes were among the House’s first acts of business after a nearly monthlong gridlock caused by the removal of Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California as speaker.The agenda of retribution reflects the growing divisiveness of the House, where severe forms of punishment that had long been viewed as an option of l...

Southwest Airlines resisted operating at DFW Airport a half-century ago. Now it’s reconsidering

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:39:45 GMT

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Southwest Airlines says it is interested in operating flights at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the massive airfield that it rejected a half-century ago, when it was a tiny carrier with just a few planes.Southwest officials said Wednesday they have approached DFW representatives about getting gates in a proposed new Terminal F because there’s no more room for expansion at Dallas Love Field, the airline’s longtime home.“Dallas Love Field has been very good to us. It’s a wonderful facility,” Southwest CEO Robert Jordan. “But it is constrained.”Love Field has only 20 gates — Southwest controls 18 of them — and can’t expand under a 2006 federal law. That measure, which updated a 1979 law called the Wright Amendment, also bars Southwest from operating at DFW, but only until 2025.A DFW representative said the airport has had “preliminary discussions” with Southwest about the airline operating a moderate number of flights from DFW....

Players, colleagues remember Knight as innovator, champion

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:39:45 GMT

Former Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight won his way, demanding perfection with a fiery approach that was as controversial as it was successful. He ushered in the era of the motion offense and used a stingy, havoc-creating defense to turn Indiana’s struggling program into a perennial national championship contender. Some comments on his legacy:“This is a terribly sad day for the IU basketball family, Indiana University, the state of Indiana and the world of sports as we say goodbye to Coach Knight. One of the things that he said to our 1976 team, which I was fortunate enough to be a part of, was that you may never see another team like this again. Well, I don’t know that we will ever see another coach like him again. I think it’s important for people to realize that. It was a special opportunity to have been coached by him, and an equally special opportunity to have him as a friend. Because as great a coach as he was, he was an infinitely better friend. He’s a big part of who we a...
