SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium (AP) — Two-time reigning Formula One champion Max Verstappen won the rain-hit sprint race at the Belgian Grand Prix on Saturday to extend his huge lead over Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez to 118 points.It was Verstappen’s ninth straight win including the two sprint races he has won this season. He collected eight points for the victory and will look to extend his overall lead further in Sunday’s main race as he continues his march to a third straight world title.“That was not bad,” Verstappen said with casual understatement.He finished a comfortable 6.7 seconds ahead of McLaren driver Oscar Piastri and 10.7 clear of Alpine’s Pierre Gasly. “I’m getting more and more comfortable with the car, which is much better than it was at the start of the year,” said the 22-year-old Piastri. “It’s been amazing for me.”Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton crossed the line in fourth but dropped down to seventh after being given a five-second time penalt...

Cuatro mujeres adultas perdieron la vida en el lugar y un menor de 2 años falleció en el hospital”, precisó el INM. “El mundo se me cae encima”: p...

Howie Carr: It’s not easy being a bagman, just ask Hunter Biden

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:09:25 GMT

It’s not easy being a bagman — just ask R. Hunter Biden.On the plus side, it beats working.Collecting cash for his corrupt father allows Hunter to devote more time to the things that he believes make life worth living — smoking crack cocaine, getting drunk, knocking up strippers, procuring high-end hookers, committing perjury on federal firearms forms, etc.The downside? You have to turn over between 10 and 50 percent of your ill-gotten gains to the Big Guy.Until Hunter’s laptop became a national scandal (except in state-run Democrat media, which continue to totally ignore it) a lot of people were unfamiliar with the word “bagman.”The Oxford dictionary definition is, “An agent who collects or distributes the proceeds of illicit activities.”But there’s a different definition that probably fits Hunter better: someone “who runs errands for other criminals.”In this case, the other criminal is the president of the United States.Legally, the bagman operates in a nether world. His m.o. is u...

Nantucket’s topless bylaw working swimmingly, police report

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:09:25 GMT

Nantucket has the skinny on the island going topless this summer.“We haven’t received a single call complaining about it,” Nantucket Police Department spokesman Lt. Angus MacVicar told the Herald.“I’m not saying people haven’t gone topless,” he quickly added, but no one has dialed 911 to call out any untoward exposure. The police logs have been peppered with deer strikes, animal bites, parking infractions, and noise complaints — it’s a vacation hotspot, so you’d expect a few of those.Other blotter items include intoxicated bar crawlers, disorderly patrons, marine violations, and plenty of action along the wharf. Sewer overflows have plagued the island, like the rest of the region, from all the rain.But no complaints about women going bare-chested to avoid tan lines.“We would get calls if it was inappropriate,” the lieutenant added, saying if kids were around a parent would probably call. So far, they haven’t.Nan...
