ST. LOUIS - St. Louis CITY SC has one more home match this weekend with Inter Miami before a lengthy All-Star break. Though there was hope that it might bring international soccer star Lionel Messi to St. Louis, it appears that will not be the case this time around. As one of the most popular and decorated soccer athletes worldwide, Messi is a name even the most casual soccer fans know and he sold more jerseys than any other soccer player globally last year. Defendant who was serving life for murder gets unusual deal If you're a huge soccer fan, there's a chance you might be tempted to wear a Messi jersey to Saturday's game, or perhaps something recognizes Inter Miami or one of his former clubs. If you do so, be warned, you cannot wear it in the supporter section for Saturday's CITY SC home game.

MORRISON — Before John Force was a racing legend, he found refuge in the Bandimeres’ basement.The year was 1980, and Force was a young, unknown and broke driver who was making his first trip east of Arizona.

The snow was shocking (for a Southern California guy).“The way they took me into their home and helped me and my small crew get situated — I’ll never forget that. It was me, (some family) and a couple of guys who worked for free. ...

Marijuana found at White House before cocaine discovery: Reports

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:17:25 GMT

While the discovery of cocaine in the White House earlier this month came as a shock to many, it turns out it's not the first time drugs have been found there.In July and September 2022, Secret Service agents found marijuana in the White House, according to Fox News. While marijuana is legal in Washington, D.C., it's illegal at the federal level and not allowed on federal property like the White House."Small amounts" of the plant were found at the White House and destroyed, the Secret Service told Fox."No one was arrested in these incidents, because the weight of the marijuana confiscated did not meet the legal threshold for federal charges or D.C. misdemeanor criminal charges, as the District of Columbia had decriminalized possession," a Secret Service spokesperson added.

California will be restricting state-funded travel to three states due to recently enacted anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in each state, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced Friday.State-funded travel to Missouri, Nebraska and Wyoming will be restricted "in response to their discriminatory laws targeting the LGBTQ+ community," AG Bonta said in a press release.Bonta's office called legislation recently passed by the three states "part of a concerning trend of discriminatory practices in states across the country, aiming to roll back hard-won protections." The AG's office, in particular, cited laws that sought to target and marginalize transgender youth by prohibiting them from participating in sports in accordance with their gender identity, and restricting access to gender-affirming health care.
