county election results. Moving forward, any flag representing a political or social cause, such as breast cancer awareness, a specific religion, or a specific community — such as the LGBTQ community — will not be permitted to fly on city-owned flagpoles.There are exemptions for city, county, and state flags, the U.S.
and armed forces flags, and “commemorative banners,” such as flags for service members who are prisoners of war or missing in action, or banners for the Olympics.The measure went to ballot after the City Council, fueled by the electoral victories of four conservative members, approved an ordinance to limit what types of flags could be displayed.Previously, in 2021, a more liberal-leaning city council voted unanimously to fly the rainbow-colored Pride flag in June to commemorate Pride Month. Councilmember Pat Burns, a Republican, led the effort to approve the ordinance.Although Burns did not specifically mention the Pride flag when proposing the policy, he argued that the city “should avoid actions that could easily or mistakenly be perceived as divisive,” claiming that “all are equally valued members of our community, and none are to be treated differently or discriminated against.”Notably, all other flags that had previously been flown on city property — with the exception of the Pride flag — were exempt in Burns’s approved ban.To fly any other flags from city property in the future would require an additional exemption, granted only by a unanimous vote of the city council.The approval of Measure B follows a trend of conservative-leaning cities and towns taking steps to defy the larger liberal society and left-leaning politicians, including Gov.

to a press release from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.The actress, who played Terry Brock in the long-running soap opera, was declared dead at 4:08 a.m.The coroner’s office identified Bernard using her fingerprints following a call to police for a death investigation, according to TMZ.An autopsy was scheduled to be performed on Wednesday but toxicology results could take weeks, the outlet reported.Foul play is not suspected in her death.Bernard was born on May 26, 1959 in Gladewater, Texas before she started an acting career, appearing in several small TV roles including on “Diva,” “Simon & Simon” and “Betty Blue.”In 1984, she was cast on “General Hospital” as Terry Brock, aka Terry O’Connor, where she held the role for 145 episodes until she departed from the show in 1990.Other projects Bernard worked on included appearances on “Whiz Kids,” “The Facts of Life,” “Tour of Duty” and “Kings for a Day.”Bernard starred as a psychologist in “Voices from High School” in 2002, which would come to be her final credited role, and has since remained out of the Hollywood spotlight.
Princess of Wales issued an apology for any “confusion” sparked by the image, saying: “I do occasionally experiment with editing.”Prior to Kate’s confession, online sleuths raised questions about several odd aspects of the photo that showed the smiling British royal surrounded by her children — Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.The world’s leading news agencies reacted to the controversy by swiftly yanking the image over doctoring fears. One major tell-tale sign of manipulation was that a portion of Charlotte’s wrist seems to be missing from under the chopped-off sleeve of her cardigan.“It looks like a bad Photoshop job,” Dr Hany Farid, a professor of computer sciences at the University of California Berkeley, told The Telegraph.Charlotte’s checkered skirt likewise does not line up, with the right edge sticking out at a strange right angle and overlapping with George’s hands.Additionally, a green line seen on Charlotte’s left leg clad in tights appears to suggest it has been airbrushed.Another unusual detail that raised questions about the image’s veracity is Prince Louis’s crossed fingers on his right hand — and a seemingly fuzzy and broken pattern on the right sleeve of his gray sweater.It has also been noted that the table next to which the youngster is standing appears to have a distorted edge.The Palace should release the unedited photo of Kate & the kids asap.

The Eagles‘ ‘Hotel California’ after concluding that Don Henley had “manipulated” prosecutors by withholding evidence.Glenn Horowitz, Edward Kosinski and Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame curator Craig Inciardi were accused of attempting to sell handwritten notes and lyrics from the classic 1977 single, as well as its follow-up ‘Life In The Fast Lane’, back in 2022.Officials estimated at the time that the documents were worth over $1million (£792,000) in total.The defendants maintained that they had legally obtained the lyric sheets from author Ed Sanders, who was hired to write a biography for The Eagles in the late ’70s. Sanders sold the notepad to Horowitz – a rare book dealer – for $50,000 (£39,609) back in 2005.Henley claimed that he never gave Sanders the lyrics, and the latter was not charged in the case.
The criminal case against three men accused of a scheme involving allegedly stolen lyrics to The Eagles’ iconic hit “Hotel California” imploded mid-trial Wednesday after the band’s frontman Don Henley disclosed new evidence that cast doubt on the prosecution.In a stunning turn of events, Justice Curtis Farber dropped the charges faced by rare-books dealer Glenn Horowitz, ex-Rock & Roll Hall of Fame curator Craig Inciardi and memorabilia seller Edward Kosinki — finding that Henley “manipulated” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office by failing to turn over 6,000 pages of key evidence until midway through the trial.Henley and his lawyers tried to weaponize their attorney-client privilege to “hide information that they believed would be damaging,” Farber said at a hearing Wednesday morning in Manhattan Supreme Court.The judge signed off on Manhattan prosecutors’ bid to toss the charges in light of the new evidence, which a courthouse source told The Post included emails from Henley that cast doubt on his claim that the handwritten lyrics to “Hotel California” and other valuable merchandise had been stolen.“We are checking out and leaving the courtroom,” said Stacey Richman, Craig Inciardi’s lawyer, on Wednesday — in a reference to the song’s famous line “you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.”The new evidence surfaced after Henley and Irving Azoff, the Eagles’ longtime manager, repeatedly cited — against prosecutors’ “express and repeated requests” — their “privilege” to keep communications with their lawyers secret while taking the stand as witnesses at the trial, the DA’s office said.But the pair “waived” that privilege in the last few days, leading to “the belated production of
the band’s frontman Don Henley turned over 6,000 pages of evidence late.The stunning turn of events came midway through the trial after Henley and his lawyers tried to weaponize their attorney-client privilege to “to obfuscate and hide information that they believed would be damaging,” Justice Curtis Farber said at a hearing Wednesday morning.Charges have now been dismissed against-books dealer Glenn Horowitz, ex-Rock & Roll Hall of Fame curator Craig Inciardi and memorabilia seller Edward Kosinki.Both Henley and Irving Azoff, the Eagles’ long-time manager, had repeatedly invoked — against the DA office’s “express and repeated requests” — their attorney-client privilege while taking the stand as witnesses at the trial, prosecutors said.But the pair’s decision to invoke and later “waive” that privilege “resulted in the belated production of approximately 6,000 pages of material” that the defendant’s lawyers should have been given a chance to cross-examine them about, wrote Assistant District Attorney Aaron Ginandes in a letter to the court.Justice Farber praised District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office for “eating a slice of humble pie” and moving to dismiss the charges.This is a breaking news event, please check back for updates.
