Kurtenbach: Draymond Green’s going to go down swinging. That’s why the Warriors are still alive

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:43:51 GMT

It’s pretty simple.If Draymond Green is going down — if the Warriors’ dynasty is coming with him — then it’s going to be an event.Green is not looking to hold onto any dignity on the way out.He came into the league swinging. He’s experienced the highest highs in the league by swinging. You can bet your last dollar that he’s going down swinging. There’s simply no alternative for Green — he’s a fighter who hates to lose more than he loves to win.That’s why the Warriors aren’t done and why, despite being down 3-2 in their series with the Lakers, they might not be done for a while yet.Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green #23 disputes a call with a referee in the second quarter of Game 5 of the NBA basketball Western Conference semifinal playoffs against the Los Angeles Lakers at the Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Wednesday, May 10, 2023.

Skelton: Trump and GOP aren’t winning over young California voters

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:43:51 GMT

Now that a jury has branded Donald Trump a sexual assailant, you’d think that Republican politicians in California might muster the courage to finally dissociate themselves from the poisonous polarizer.But sadly, the prospect of that happening is not promising.The former president, who’s the early Republican front-runner to be nominated a third time for the nation’s highest office, still intimidates elected officials on lower rungs of the political ladder. They’re afraid of alienating his hardcore worshipers.Too bad.It shouldn’t be difficult to use the civil jury’s verdict that Trump brutalized a woman in the dressing room of a posh Manhattan department store as a rationale for standing up at last and acknowledging that he shouldn’t be allowed back in the Oval Office.He’s too immoral, scary and divisive — not exactly a fitting national role model.Shunning him is arguably one of the most important things — maybe No. 1 — that the California GOP could do immediately to halt its downwar...

Islamabad court grants former Prime Minister Imran Khan bail, reprieve from arrest in graft case

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:43:51 GMT

ISLAMABAD (AP) — A high court in Islamabad on Friday granted former Prime Minister Imran Khan protection from arrest in a graft case and ordered him freed on bail. The ruling came as the government and legions of Khan’s supporters were on edge after days of violent confrontations sparked by the arrest of the former prime minister earlier this week. The government has vowed it will find a way to take Khan back into custody, a move that would likely cause a resurgence of riots and mob attacks.Friday’s ruling by the Islamabad High Court gave Khan protection from arrest on one of several corruption cases against him for a period of two weeks, a form of interim bail that usually is renewed in the Pakistan judicial system. Khan, however, remained in the court after the decision as his lawyers petitioned the judges for similar protection in a number of other corruption charges, trying to close off a legal avenue for the government to arrest him again. Khan’s chief lawyer, Babar...
