Dolphins place starting LB Jerome Baker on IR with knee injury; rule RG Rob Hunt out vs Titans

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:29:43 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins are placing starting linebacker Jerome Baker on injured reserve with a knee injury, coach Mike McDaniel said Saturday.Baker injured his left knee in the second quarter of last week’s win over the Washington Commanders when teammate Brandon Jones took his legs out from under him while trying to tackle Washington’s Curtis Samuel. McDaniel said after the game it didn’t seem like a season-ending injury. But the team ultimately decided to put the sixth-year linebacker on injured reserve because of varying factors, including the expected timeline for Baker’s return and Miami’s need for a roster spot.“It was right on the fringe of yes or no with it,” McDaniel said Saturday. “And our starting point at that point in time was ‘We didn’t need to do it.’ But things change every day, which is why I don’t stamp anything that’s not known.”Baker is second on the team with 47 solo tackles and had 1 1/2 sacks and ...

Protests at UN climate talks, from cease-fire calls to detainees, see ‘shocking level of censorship’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:29:43 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Activists designated Saturday a day of protest at the COP28 summit in Dubai. But the rules of the game in the tightly controlled United Arab Emirates at the site supervised by the United Nations meant sharp restrictions on what demonstrators could say, where they could walk and what their signs could portray.At times, the controls bordered on the absurd. A small group of demonstrators protesting the detention of activists — one from Egypt and two from the UAE — were not allowed to hold up signs bearing their names. A late afternoon demonstration of around 500 people, the largest seen at the climate conference, couldn’t go beyond the U.N.-governed Blue Zone in this autocratic nation. And their calls for a cease-fire in the war in the Gaza Strip couldn’t actually name the states involved. “It is a shocking level of censorship in a space that had been guaranteed to have basic freedoms protected like freedom of expression, assembly and asso...

Howie Carr: Hunter Biden, the poster boy for ‘Democrat privilege’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:29:43 GMT

If there’s one principle that Dementia Joe Biden cares about more than any other, it’s that all Americans should pay their “fair share” of taxes.As he sternly tweeted last January: “We’re making corporations and the super-wealthy start to pay their fair share in taxes.”Because, you see, these tax-cheating rich bastards aren’t paying a damn thing, as he so often points out, as in June 2022:“They don’t pay a penny so if we had a minimum tax of 15 percent, a minimum 15 it doesn’t hurt them at all. They make a lot of money still and we could raise a lot of money to make sure that child care doesn’t cost you 1,400 bucks a month.”Because, see, some fathers refuse to pay child support to their children, especially the illegitimate ones they have with ex-strippers. These greedy hypocritical rich swine fly around in private jets to court appearances, and then have the nerve to tell the family-court judge they’re broke. But I digress…“I think you should be able to make a trillion dollars,” Jo...
