In 2023, Trump debuts a new lie about the 2020 election

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:37:58 GMT

By Daniel Dale | CNNAdd another election lie to the long, long list.Former President Donald Trump has tried for nearly two and a half years to convince Americans that he was the rightful winner of the 2020 presidential election he lost fair and square to Joe Biden. He is still trying today, in 2023, as he seeks the Republican presidential nomination once more.But Trump’s latest supposed piece of evidence, like his previous supposed pieces of evidence, is complete bunk.In a speech to a Republican gathering in Florida on Friday, during which he repeated his usual lie that the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen,” Trump pointedly noted that Biden got more votes than Trump in fewer than a fifth of US counties in 2020. Trump then said, “Nothing like this has ever happened before. Usually it’s very equal, or — but the winner always had the most counties.”Facts First: Trump’s claim that the winner of every presidential election before 2020 a...

Ford posts $1.76B 1Q profit largely on gas-powered vehicles

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:37:58 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — Ford Motor Co. made $1.76 billion last quarter, swinging into the black from a $3.1 billion net loss for the same period a year ago.Most of the profit came from Ford Blue, the company’s internal-combustion engine vehicle unit, which made $2.62 billion before taxes during the quarter. Ford Pro, the commercial vehicle unit, added $1.37 billion. But Model e, Ford’s electric vehicle unit, lost $722 million before taxes.The Dearborn, Michigan, automaker is seeing its fortunes improve, and reiterated its earlier pretax profit guidance for the full year of $9 billion to $11 billion. Excluding one-time items, Ford made 44 cents per share. That beat Wall Street estimates of 42 cents, according to FactSet.Revenue rose 20% to $41.74 billion, soundly beating the $39.25 billion that analysts expected.Previously Ford said it left $2 billion in profits on the table last year due to production losses from computer chip and parts shortages and high operational costs.“This ...

Another Met Gala in the books, so how did they do on theme?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:37:58 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — In vintage couture and a world of Chanel-inspired camellias. In pearls, chains and black ties, especially those worn by women, the A-list crowd at the Met Gala largely passed muster in embracing Karl Lagerfeld, the man of the evening on fashion’s biggest night. Most. Not all. Over-the-top dressing on the first Monday in May isn’t dead. Misinterpreting or outright ignoring the night’s dress code isn’t buried. But this time around, there was an air of respect, a nod to authenticity “in honor of Karl,” as the fundraising party’s visionary, Anna Wintour, requested.“Because the theme was so specific, it practically demanded elegance, which is why so many looked so good. But what was most surprising was to see how other designers paid homage to the master with riffs on his iconic trademarks,” said Hal Rubenstein, a fashion writer, designer and one of the founding editors of InStyle magazine.Lagerfeld, the man, the photographer, the publisher, the de...

Royals add top prospect Garcia before series against Orioles

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:37:58 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals recalled infielder Maikel Garcia, one of the organization’s top prospects, along with catcher Freddy Fermin on Tuesday before opening a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles.Franmil Reyes was optioned to Triple-A Omaha and infielder Nicky Lopez was placed on the 10-day injured list.The 23-year-old Garcia appeared in nine games with the Royals last season and had a solid spring but began the year at Omaha, where he was hitting .242 with a homer and 17 RBIs in 24 games. He is primarily a shortstop but has played his last six games at third base, and there’s where he will mostly play with the Royals.“The impression I had in spring training was tremendous,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “Great athlete. Moved all over the field, looked natural wherever he was. He came off a really good winter ball. All of those things were extremely positive.”Fermin, who had his first big league hit April 23 against the Angels, was...

Election denier Jim Marchant to run for Senate in Nevada

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:37:58 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Jim Marchant, a Nevada Republican who led a movement of candidates who promoted Donald Trump’s lies of a stolen 2020 election, was set to announce Tuesday that he will run for the U.S. Senate against Democratic incumbent Jacky Rosen in the swing state.Marchant advertised a “special announcement” at a Las Vegas church, where screens displayed “Jim Marchant U.S. Senate Nevada.”The entrance of Marchant, who lost last year’s race for Nevada secretary of state, may be another headache for national Republicans who are trying to prevent a repeat of the midterms, when voters in Nevada and other battleground states rejected candidates who ran on election conspiracies, allowing Democrats to increase their hold on the Senate.Democrats face an even tougher environment to keep their slim majority in 2024. Nevada is likely to be one of the nation’s most competitive Senate races after hosting the closest contest of 2022. Democratic incumbent Catherine Corte...
