WARSAW — Poland’s right-wing Confederation party could play a key role after the country’s parliamentary election on Sunday — the issue tearing the party apart is if it wants to do that. POLITICO’s poll of polls shows Confederation — an ungainly mix of economic libertarians, far-right ideologues and gadflies with strange views on women’s rights and eating dogs — with 9 percent support. Neither of the two biggest parties — the ruling nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party and the centrist opposition Civic Coalition (PO) — is likely to win enough seats to form a government on its own.PiS looks set to come first, and the only possible coalition partner for the party is Confederation as they share similar nationalist views, although their economic policies are very different. But it’s unclear if Confederation wants to play ball and help PiS stay in power for a third term.Sławomir Mentzen, one of the party’s leaders, has gone on the warpath against Prime Minister Mateusz ...6 key questions ahead of Poland’s election

WARSAW — It’s squeaky bum time in the EU’s fifth most populous country.After months of bitter campaigning, scandals, gaffes, attacks and just one debate, the political landscape ahead of Sunday’s general election is pretty much where it was a year ago. Two big parties — the ruling nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party and the centrist Civic Coalition — are far ahead and a clutch of smaller parties are straggling far behind.It’s a testament to the very deep divisions in Polish society. The government’s backers see the opposition as traitorous sell-outs willing to hand Poland off the Germany (or even Russia) and to turn Poland into an irreligious, gay-friendly dystopia subservient to Brussels and filled with Muslim immigrants.Opposition backers warn that if Law and Justice wins a third term in office, it will succeed in throttling what’s left of Polish democracy by completing its takeover of the courts, attack independent media and isolate Poland ...Logan Airport’s Terminal E takes off
Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 12:01:44 GMT
Terminal E and Logan Airport’s 100th birthday collided.Maybe not the best term for an airport, but the brass came out for the twin occasions Friday. The renovation of Terminal E, the airport’s international terminal, included approximately 390,000 additional square feet to create a unified building.“Logan International Airport is a critical economic engine for our state. These fantastic new upgrades at Terminal E are going to supercharge that engine and help to elevate our image on the world stage,” said Gov. Maura Healey.“Logan Airport is a gateway to opportunity and fosters connections for residents, businesses, universities and organizations in the global economy,” said Mayor Michelle Wu.Some of the new amenities include a mothers’ room and sensory room.The sensory room, as Massport put it, “has various interactive stations that focus on balance, light therapy and cognitive/memory improvement, including a room that replicates an airplane cabin to help passengers accli...Ticker: Biden awards $7 billion for clean hydrogen hubs; Wall Street struggles as war worries collide with hope for stronger profits

The Biden administration has selected clean-energy projects from Pennsylvania to California for a $7 billion program to kickstart development and production of hydrogen fuel, a key component of President Joe Biden’s agenda to slow climate change.Biden called clean hydrogen essential to his vision of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. by 2050. His goal is to establish seven regional hubs to help replace fossil fuels such as coal and oil with cleaner-burning hydrogen as an energy source for vehicles, manufacturing and generating electricity.The seven hubs, which include projects in 16 states, will spur more than $40 billion in private investment and create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs, many of them union positions, Biden said Friday at a cargo terminal in Philadelphia, where one of the hubs will be based.Wall Street struggles as war worries collide with hope for stronger profitsU.S. stocks mostly fell Friday after fears about war in the Middle East collided i...Former child welfare worker guilty of endangerment in death of Illinois 5-year-old

Robert McCoppin | Chicago TribuneIn what is believed to be the first successful prosecution of its kind in Illinois, a former child welfare worker was found guilty Friday of child endangerment in the beating death of 5-year-old AJ Freund in Crystal Lake, but his supervisor was found not guilty.Carlos Acosta, who was the case investigator for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, was found guilty in McHenry County court of endangering the life or health of a child. He was found not guilty of reckless conduct.Lake County Judge George Strickland said he could not find Acosta’s supervisor, Andrew Polovin, guilty of either charge because he did not know how much Polovin knew about AJ being abused. Strickland handled the case because all McHenry County judges recused themselves.AJ died in April 2019 after being beaten by his mother, JoAnn Cunningham. She is serving a 35-year sentence for his murder.The boy’s father, Andrew Freund Sr., was sentenced to 30 years in prison...Trump absent while majority of Republican candidates gather in New Hampshire

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 12:01:44 GMT
In Kristaps Porzingis, the Celtics know they’re getting a dynamic offensive threat that will help unlock their unit in different ways. He’s been a consistent three-level scorer throughout his career, and had one of his best seasons offensively last year in Washington.Defensively, though, Porzingis might be a little underrated. He ranked among the best pick-and-roll defenders in the NBA last season, and with his size and mobility, presents a huge challenge to opponents at the rim, as he’s already shown in two preseason games. Already, his attention to detail on that end has caught Al Horford’s eye.“With us, we’re asking him to do a lot, to cover a lot of things,” Horford said. “Already I feel like he has my back covering different positions on the court. Everybody knows his offense. His offense is great. We know he can do a lot of things. But on defense he’s doing a good job of talking to us, protecting the basket and really staying active.”That sounds a lot like the departed Robert ...Revs’ Carles Gil and Nashville’s Hany Mukhtar bring special talents to the pitch

Romney has started every game and played every minute.“Different styles of play as a number 10,” said Romney. “Different styles, but both are extremely solid players and their quality is unmatched on the field.“They are usually the best players on the fie...Person found dead in Mission Bay near SeaWorld
