Pentagon Analyst Kept Intel Job After Joining Jan. 6 Mob, Planned to Kidnap Jewish Leaders

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:10:24 GMT

In 2018, a newly hired software engineer at a defense and intelligence contractor in the Washington, D.C., suburbs was assigned to a team led by a senior developer named Hatchet Speed.At first, the new engineer, Richard Ngo, got along well with Speed. They sometimes went out to lunch together and socialized away from the office. “Speed was my mentor at Novetta as the software lead,” Ngo later said in court testimony. “We worked together every day.”But after the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, Ngo noticed that Speed, a longtime Navy reservist who had deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan as an intelligence analyst and held other sensitive cyber and intelligence posts in connection with Naval Special Warfare units, seemed to be changing. Ngo had always known that Speed was a gun enthusiast, but after the Capitol riot, he became more openly anti-government than he had ever been before. “He was just frustrated with just how everything was going,” Ngo testified, adding th...

California budget deficit could delay new child care funding

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:10:24 GMT

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Every weekday, Patricia Moran has up to a dozen children in her San Jose home day care center, mostly from low-income families — and sometimes the kids are as young as 2 weeks old because their parents can’t afford to take more time off from work.In between helping the children make bubbles, serving them meals at a big table with small chairs and teaching them “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” in English and Spanish, Moran said she is fielding phone calls from other parents — sometimes up to four per day — who are desperate to find care for their young children. That’s why Moran was surprised when Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is just starting his second term in office, proposed to delay funding for 20,000 additional slots for subsidized child care for low-income families in order to help balance the state budget. Even more perplexing was Newsom’s reasoning for the delay: The child care spots that were already funded were not yet being use...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:10:24 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce tweeted on Monday that he would return for a 13th NFL season.Kelce has long been the heart of the Eagles and one of the top centers in the league. He played against his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs beat the Eagles 38-35 for the NFL title.Kelce has been as durable as they come with the Super Bowl putting him at 149 consecutive games played. The 35-year-old Kelce was a sixth-round pick in the 2011 draft and is a five-time All-Pro.“I have put much thought into whether it makes sense to play another season,” Kelce wrote. “After talking it over with my wife and many other friends and family, I have decided to return for another year. Thank you to all my supporters and detractors for fueling me, I ain’t done yet!”The Eagles responded with a tweet of Kelce wearing a Batman mask from a game last season. Kelce was a free agent and can’t officially sign with the Eagles until W...

Will the government’s moves to stabilize banks work?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:10:24 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two large banks that cater to the tech industry have collapsed after a bank run, government agencies are taking emergency measures to backstop the financial system, and President Joe Biden is reassuring Americans that the money they have in banks is safe.It’s all eerily reminiscent of the financial meltdown that began with the bursting of the housing bubble 15 years ago. Yet the initial pace this time around seems even faster. Over the last three days, the U.S. seized the two financial institutions after a bank run on Silicon Valley Bank, based in Santa Clara, California. It was the largest bank failure since Washington Mutual went under in 2008. How did we get here? And will the steps the government unveiled over the weekend be enough? Here are some questions and answers about what has happened and why it matters: WHY DID SILICON VALLEY BANK FAIL? Silicon Valley Bank had already been hit hard by a rough patch for technology companies in recent months and the...

For Hill, a World Cup return to Manila was long time coming

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:10:24 GMT

The path for USA Basketball this summer on its way to the FIBA World Cup is set: from Las Vegas to Spain to Abu Dhabi to the Philippines.That’s a long journey. In Grant Hill’s case, taking the long way to Manila is symbolic, because his history with the Philippines started about three decades ago.Hill — now the managing director for USA Basketball’s men’s national team — went to the basketball-crazed country in the mid-1990s and knows how big the sport is there. Then a star for the Detroit Pistons, Hill was there to promote a shoe company; 30,000 people showed up to see him at a mall, his hotel needed special security and he still has a photograph showing him with one of his dining companions, former President Corazon Aquino.“The thing that was amazing was that she was an avid basketball fan,” Hill said Monday. “So, she knew about Detroit. She knew the Pistons. I mean, it was absolutely incredible. I just think the fans and the passion and the love of the game will be on full displa...

Vidic withdraws candidacy for Serbian soccer president

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:10:24 GMT

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Former Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic on Monday withdrew his candidacy for president of the Serbian soccer federation, an organization which has often been accused of corruption, crime and political influence.The only remaining candidate for the position is former player and veteran Red Star Belgrade official Dragan Dzajic, who is believed to be close to the current populist Serbian government.“Our soccer faces big challenges,” the 41-year-old Vidic said after announcing his withdrawal. “Many things must and can be improved. My idea was and remains to assemble a team of top professionals who are able to solve these challenges.“Unfortunately, at every step of the way toward becoming the president of the (federation), it was made clear to me that we would not be given that chance.”Vidic, who had a highly successful career with Manchester United and served as the team’s captain, has faced a massive campaign against his candidacy.Serbian soccer is...

College Baseball Notebook: HRs in bunches for Bobcats’ Mora

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:10:24 GMT

It’s going to be hard for Texas State’s Chase Mora to top the first month of his college career.He became the first Division I freshman since 2015 to hit four home runs in a game, and he narrowly missed a fifth in the Bobcats’ 19-18 win over North Dakota State on Saturday.This is the same player who became the first in NCAA history to homer in his first three career plate appearances, doing it against Northwestern on Feb. 18-19.Mora’s big day against NDSU started with a three-run homer in the second inning. He hit a two-run homer in the third and a three-run blast in the fourth. After he flew out deep to left in the sixth, he slugged a solo shot in the eighth for his school record-tying ninth RBI. “That fourth at-bat I was trying for it, got out of my approach a little bit, got a curveball up and hooked it a little bit and didn’t get the result I wanted,” Mora said. “I kind of banged up myself (mentally) and went back to the dugout and flushed it....
