Saudi Oil Attacks: Iran Calls U.S. Allegations ‘Maximum Lies’

By CaliNews 2 hours ago

Global energy prices spiked on Monday after a weekend attack on key oil facilities in Saudi Arabia caused the worst disruption to world supplies on record, an assault for which President Donald Trump warned that the U.S. was “locked and loaded” to respond. U.S. officials offered satellite images of the damage at the heart of the kingdom’s crucial Abqaiq oil processing plant and a key oil field, alleging the pattern of destruction suggested the attack on Saturday came from either Iraq or Iran — rather than Yemen, as claimed by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels there. Iran for its part called the U.S. allegations “maximum lies.” The Houthis on Monday warned of more attacks on Saudi oil facilities and urged foreign companies doing business in the kingdom to stay away from its energy sites. Yahia Sarie, a rebel spokesman, said facilities such as the Abqaiq oil processing plant and the oil field hit this weekend could again “be targeted at any time.” In Vienna, U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry condemned what he called “Iran’s attack on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia” in an address to the…

A California woman dreamt she swallowed her engagement ring. Turns out she actually did it in her slee

By CaliNews 2 hours ago

By Amir Vera | CNN Jenna Evans was having one of those dreams that felt too real to be true. The San Diego woman and her fiance, Bobby Howell, “were in a very sketchy situation involving a high speed train and bad guys,” Evans wrote in a Facebook post. “(Bobby) told me I had to swallow my ring to protect it; so I popped that sucker off, put it in my mouth and swallowed it with a glass of water,” Evans wrote. Evans awoke Wednesday morning to find her engagement ring missing. While the 007-like setup was a dream, it turns out Evans actually swallowed her engagement ring — a story she detailed in the now-viral post that has over 57,000 shares on Facebook. “We laughed pretty hard for about an hour and a half, called my mom, laughed until we were crying, googled ‘do other adults swallow rings’ because kids do it all the time, but apparently it’s less common for adults,” Evans wrote. She and Howell then drove to urgent care where she had to explain to various doctors what happened. “The doctor…

California passes bill to require state universities to offer abortion pill

By CaliNews 2 hours ago

By Theresa Waldrop | CNN If California Gov. Gavin Newsom signs a bill passed by the state Senate Friday, state university clinics will be required to offer abortion pills to students as of 2023. “The state has an interest in ensuring that every pregnant person in California who wants to have an abortion can obtain access to that care as easily and as early in pregnancy as possible,” the bill states. California’s legislation comes as several other states are moving to tighten abortion restrictions or to ban them with very limited exceptions. “In a time when states across our country are rolling back women’s health care and access to abortion, California continues to lead the nation to protect every individual’s right to choose,” Sen. Connie Leyva, who authored the bill, said in a statement. “SB 24 reaffirms the right of every college student to access abortion.” Giving students access to abortion by medication means students won’t have to “choose between delaying important medical care or having to travel long distances or miss classes or work,” Leyva said.

How should 49ers fill in for Joe Staley at left tackle?

By CaliNews 2 hours ago

CINCINNATI — Left tackle Joe Staley is arguably the most indispensible player on the 49ers roster, and he now faces a two-month recovery from a broken leg. The 49ers? They face a dark dilemma: How do they replace their 13th-year veteran? Staley presumably could return around Thanksgiving, perhaps for the Green Bay Packers’ first visit to Levi’s Stadium on Nov. 24; the Packers are off to a 2-0 start, as are the 49ers. San Francisco 49ers’ Joe Staley (74) sits on the bench during their game against the Los Angeles Rams late in the fourth quarter at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Oct. 21, 2018. (Nhat V. Meyer/Bay Area News Group)  It is not a stretch to say this ultimately could define the 49ers fate in a season that’s started with back-to-back road wins for the first time since 1989. The 49ers have improved their depth since Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch shredded Trent Baalke’s roster. That includes offensive tackle, where they used last year’s first-round draft pick on Mike McGlinchey and traded for Shon Coleman a year ago. No option sounds…

The Deets: The 49ers need to make a trade after Joe Staley’s injury — if only it were that easy

By CaliNews 2 hours ago

Welcome to The Deets — three thoughts on the world of sports, with an effort to focus on the things that might fall through the cracks in this convoluted Bay Area scene, three times a week. If you have something you’d like me to hit, just holler. I’m on Twitter @dieter or you can email me at dkurtenbach@bayareanewsgroup.com 1. The Niners need to make a trade for a left tackle (Randy Vazquez/ Bay Area News Group)  For the last 13 years, you could count on No. 74 being on the field for the 49ers and playing well enough to where you forgot what number he wore. Since 2011, Joe Staley has missed four — count ‘em, four — games out of 128. But he’s going to be on the shelf for a while now, after he broke his left fibula late in the Niners’ blowout win over the Bengals Sunday. The expectation is that Staley will miss six to eight weeks, which puts the 2-0 Niners in a precarious spot. Long story short: they need to go outside the building for a replacement ASAP. The…

43-Year-Old Woman Facing Charges For Allegedly Throwing Blood On Senate Floor

By CaliNews 3 hours ago

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A bloody and bizarre attack on state lawmakers on the Senate floor has one woman facing serious charges. State Senator Steve Glazer was one of the lawmakers hit with fluid the California Highway Patrol said appears to be blood. The woman who threw it — 43-year-old Rebecca Dalelio — said it was her own menstrual blood. “One hit me on the head, covered my suit and my desk,” Glazer said. Glazer showed photos of the bloody looking drops that hit him while he was sitting at his desk on the Senate floor. “I have gone through health check-ups to make sure I have not been infected with anything,” he said. Dalelio is facing assault and vandalism charges for the attack that came as lawmakers were voting on the Senate floor. In recorded audio from Cal Channel, you can hear a woman shout “That’s for the dead babies.” As the chamber was cleared by the CHP, a video showed Dalelio in a Capitol hallway — surrounded by officers wearing protective gloves — shouting the fluid she allegedly threw is her own menstrual blood.…
