A father of four remains hospitalized in the ICU after being shot in a road rage shooting on the 5 Freeway.The victim, Noel Pena, 48, was struck while driving on New Year's Eve. The bullet entered through his armpit, shattered his collarbone and left fragments in his throat. “It’s something no one expects,” said Pamela Pena, the victim’s daughter. “Like, I’ve heard about it and I’m like, ‘Wow, people are so ruthless out there doing these types of things.’ It’s not normal, should not be normal, to find out it happened to us.”On New Year’s Eve, Noel was heading home with his wife, daughter and niece after spending the day at the Sante Fe Springs Swap Meet. At around 3 p.m., the family was driving back home to East L.A. when they noticed what appeared to be a gray Honda SUV swerve into their lane just north of Carmenita Road in Norwalk.

Review: ‘Memory’ fails to answer its own questions honestly

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:31:37 GMT

By Lindsey Bahr | Associated PressPain and trauma permeate Michel Franco’s new drama ” Memory, ” about two lost souls who find surprising comfort in one another. Both Jessica Chastain’s Sylvia and Peter Sarsgaard’s Saul are hostage to their own minds, though in vastly different ways. Hers haunts her. His is failing rapidly. And neither are entirely trustworthy.“Memory,” expanding nationwide Friday, starts as a seemingly standard issue “damaged person” movie, introducing Chastain’s Sylvia celebrating 12 years of sobriety at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that her 12-year-old attends with her. But there are layers to this dramatic mystery, compounded with unreliable narrators and moral grey areas. Before you know it, the film morphs from something familiar into something altogether unexpected.Though it is not easily categorizable, “Memory” is a thoughtful journey featuring very fine performances from both Chastai...

A more active weather pattern is starting to shape up as a series of fronts continue to track into the Sunshine State, leading to less sun and more clouds and rain.A weak front crossed through during the day yesterday but it was not that strong and going forward, our future fronts won’t contain any significant cooling and instead will have more moisture for rain.Temperatures did drop to near-seasonable values this Friday morning courtesy of an early morning, northerly wind but because it was a weak front that crossed through, winds will quickly flip off the water during the daylight hours and increase in speed. That lead to a dramatic warmup in just less than an hour at Fort Lauderdale in the early hours of the morning!Expect partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies this Friday with a few afternoon and evening showers possible. Temperatures won’t be as warm, reaching the mid 70s.Over the weekend, our next front will begin to arrive from a developing area of low pressure over ...

Biden hits the stump as Team Trump floods Iowa in unofficial 2024 kickoff

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:31:37 GMT

(CNN) — The Iowa caucuses are still 10 days away, but the first split-screen of the general election is set for Friday, when President Joe Biden touches down in Pennsylvania to warn Americans about the perils of a second Trump presidency and former President Donald Trump ramps up his pre-caucus blitz with a pair of get-out-the-vote rallies in northern Iowa.Biden’s first proper foray into the 2024 campaign fray had initially been scheduled for Saturday, the third anniversary of the January 6, 2021, US Capitol insurrection, but got bumped up, his camp said, because of weather concerns. The speech, to be delivered near the historic Revolutionary War site of Valley Forge, is expected to register as a stark warning about empowering Trump, whom Biden’s campaign views as the most likely GOP nominee – and an existential threat to US democracy.The words and symbolism of George Washington, who commanded his troops during a long winter in Valley Forge, are ex...
