Schoen & Mangel: Does the Biden administration care about leaking classified info?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:37:04 GMT

The possible revocation of the Hunter Biden plea agreement is not the only scandal facing the Biden administration, as a much larger scandal is lurking, involving national security, Iran, and the potential leaking of classified information. Robert Malley, President Biden’s Iran envoy, tasked with negotiating a new nuclear deal, has been stripped of his position, lost his security clearance, put on unpaid leave, and removed from the State Department’s website, allegedly for giving the Iranians access to classified information. Rumors surrounding Malley, who was also the lead Iran negotiator under former President Obama, began swirling in May when he failed to show up to a classified briefing related to the possibility of a new nuclear deal, but the State Department ducked the questions, simply saying Malley was on extended personal leave.Then, last month the State Department confirmed that Malley was put on leave and his security clearance was suspended, but the Biden administration ...

‘The Few, the Proud’ aren’t so few: Marines recruiting surges

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:37:04 GMT

PARRIS ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Not long ago, Marine Col. Jennifer Nash, a combat engineer with war deployments under her belt, made a vow to fellow officers as they headed to a dinner in Atlanta: She would get two new recruiting contacts by the end of the evening.She admits recruiting is not the job that she or other Marines had in mind when they enlisted. But after stints as a recruiter and senior officer at the Eastern recruiting command, she has become emblematic of the Corps’ tradition of putting its best, battle-tested Marines on enlistment duty. They get results.Marine leaders say they will make their recruiting goal this year, while the active-duty Army, Navy and Air Force all expect to fall short. The services have struggled in the tight job market to compete with higher-paying businesses for the dwindling number of young people who can meet the military’s physical, mental and moral standards.On that night, Nash achieved her own goal.Nash’s boss, Brig. Gen. Walker Field, who hea...

Editorial: FDA fumbles new regulations targeting sesame

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:37:04 GMT

The Biden administration’s approach to economic matters is to empower Washington bureaucrats to “guide” the private sector toward outcomes the White House feels are “equitable.” Never mind that government central planners have a long and accomplished record of failure and inefficiency. Or, that, in many instances, they have no idea what they’re doing.Consider the Food and Drug Administration and its army of experts.On Jan. 1, a new federal regulation went into place that added sesame to the list of major food allergens that previously included eggs, milk, shellfish, peanuts and a few other items. Any products that include sesame — seeds or flour from the plant, for instance — must be labeled to alert consumers who may be allergic to the product. The FDA estimates that 1.5 million Americans may have a reaction to sesame, which can include shortness of breath, vomiting and diarrhea.The intention, of course, was to make it easier for those with a sesame allergy to avoid problems. But t...

For director Randall Park, ‘Shortcomings’ is personal

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:37:04 GMT

For Randall Park, stepping behind the camera to direct “Shortcomings” was a chance to fully present a complex Asian-American struggling to understand himself.Park, 49, with acting credits like “Veep,” “Fresh off the Boat” and as Marvel’s agent Jimmy Woo, found in “Shortcomings” a bridge to his own youth.“This is the direct connection to when I was in college,” Park said in a Zoom interview. “Adrian Tomine’s graphic novel meant so much to me. I had almost been envisioning it as a movie since the day it came out back in 2007.”Comical yet serious, “Shortcomings” is adapted by Tomine from his comic and stars Justin H. Min as Ben who seems to be dissatisfied drifting through life.  Ben has a queer best friend in Alice (Sherry Cola) and a girlfriend  Miko (Ally Maki) who leaves him to study in New York.  Obsessed with movies and unavailable blondes, he is too often his own worst enemy, unleashing verbal tirades against those closest to him.If Ben acts like a big jerk is he meant to be a p...

After 10 years, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead still exploring

Drummer Joe Russo likes to play jazz. Weird, wonderful, experimental jazz. But Russo also likes to play straight-ahead rock, psychedelic rock, Americana, and more.With his eclectic interests, just about the only band that scratches every music itch is the Grateful Dead. But it’s still surprising that Joe Russo’s Almost Dead tribute project has lasted 10 years.“It’s kind of insane that this is still a thing,” Russo told the Herald with a laugh.Russo started the band on a lark, a one-night-only event, but fans wanted more, and more, and more. Over a decade, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead has grown from club dates to 5,000-seat venues – JRAD performs at Leader Bank Pavilion on, Aug. 12.As a kid in the ’80s, Russo dug the heavy and hard stuff: Zeppelin, Sabbath, Iron Maiden, KISS, and Rush. Later, he got serious about jazz and improvisational music in the 2000s with the Benevento/Russo Duo (keyboardist Marco Benevento plays in JRAD along with guitarists Tom Hamilton and Scott Metzger and bassi...

Tips for preventing kids’ ‘summer slide’

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:37:04 GMT

Waterslides and playground slides are part of summer’s fun. But there’s one slide to avoid when the weather gets warm: the “summer slide.” That’s the loss over the long summer break of new skills gained during the school year.Summer slide isn’t new, but it has worsened because of education setbacks brought on by the disruption of schooling during the pandemic.On average, students lose two months of reading skills and nearly three months of math skills during summer break. What that means is they have to relearn those skills before they can move on to new material in the next school year. The good news is that parents and other caregivers can help minimize the learning losses.While that doesn’t necessarily mean enrolling your kids in summer school, it does mean intentionally weaving learning and skills practice into everyday activities.Starting a summer routine of reading at least 20 minutes a day goes a long way. Let kids choose their own re...
