(KTLA) Some, like Juan Hernandez, wanted to pass along a message to the impending free agent. “I want to say we need you, stay with us, don’t go nowhere,” Hernandez, a Dodgers fan who got a wristband, said. While Hernandez got lucky, other fans struck out, including Brian Angel, who has Buehler’s name on his license plates. “I’m good friends with his dad, have everything you could imagine signed by him. Arguably his biggest fan,” Angel said. Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler throws against

About 24 states say they’ll send National Guard troops to DC for vote certification and inauguration

By LOLITA C. BALDOR, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — More than two dozen states have indicated they would be willing to send National Guard troops to Washington if requested in the weeks following the presidential election and in the runup to the inauguration, Guard officials said Monday. The District of Columbia has not yet made any formal requests for Guard troops, but officials across the government have been preparing for the possibility that the U.S. Capitol could once again be rocked by violence around the certification of the election by Congress on Jan. 6 and the inauguration two weeks later. About 25,000 Guard troops from around the country flooded into Washington in the days after the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, riot, when thousands of supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol in an effort to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s win. The troops, along with local and federal law enforcement, locked down the city for the inauguration, securing the Capitol, monuments, Metro entrances and the perimeter of the central part of the city.

San Diego man convicted of investment fraud, pandemic loan fraud schemes

A San Diego man charged with running an investment fraud scheme and taking millions in ill-gotten pandemic loan funds was convicted by a San Diego federal jury last week of more than two dozen counts of securities fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering. Denny Bhakta, 42, was first charged with soliciting investments for his companies, Fusion Hotel Management LLC and Fusion Hospitality Corp., then using investors’ funds on personal expenses — such as gambling and purchasing vehicles — and to pay off other investors, according to the San Diego U.S. Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors said that in one particular gambling outing that lasted 7½ hours, he lost $1 million. Prosecutors said investors were told Bhakta’s companies would purchase discounted blocks of hotel rooms from Hilton, then sell those rooms for a profit to United Airlines and other companies. Bhakta provided fabricated bank records and fake agreements with Hilton and United Airlines to make Fusion’s purported business dealings appear legitimate, according to prosecutors, who said Bhakta took around $35 million from investors. Among the investment fraud victims were Bhakta’s uncle, who lost $4.5 million, as well as

4 factors that could tilt a wild presidential race

By John T. Bennett, CQ-Roll Call WASHINGTON — Voters who have not yet cast ballots will head to the polls Tuesday, bringing one of the most wild and vitriolic presidential races in American history to an end — the campaigning at least, but perhaps not the legal battles. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, the Democratic and Republican nominees, continued campaigning Monday in a contest that the latest polls suggest could be among the closest outcomes ever. True to the tone of their truncated race since late July, they both continued to plead for votes by warning as much about their opponent as trying to sell their own ideas. “We want to go to Mars and all,” Trump said Monday at a rally in Raleigh, N.C., before minutes later slamming President Joe Biden over terminating a permit for the XL Pipeline on his first day in office. “What I want it for is defense. … You’ve got to be in space. … We were being lapped by China. They’ve got a lot of stuff up there.” It was the latest example of what Trump refers to as “the weave,” his

Dry, windy weather this week elevates fire danger across Southern California

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — The weekend rain won’t do much to suppress the elevated-to-critical fire danger taking over Southern California for the first week of November.  A Santa Ana wind pattern is setting up to bring us warm and dry conditions Monday through the rest of the work week. Northeasterly winds will particularly be concerning Monday afternoon for San Bernardino County and the inland empire up into the central coast of Santa Barbara County where Red Flag Warnings are in effect. If a fire were to break out, current conditions would allow for it to spread and grow rapidly. It is important to always be fire safe, meaning have an evacuation plan and be ready to leave at a moment’s notice.  Watch the video below to learn about wildfire emergency preparedness. A fire weather watch is in effect for San Diego from Wednesday evening into Thursday afternoon. Strong gusty winds and low relative humidity will take over portions of the San Diego mountains and eastern valleys, as well as the Riverside County mountains. Locally, north to northeast winds will gust 20 to 25 miles

Dodgers fans swarm to meet Walker Buehler and Kiké Hernández. Is this farewell?

Dodger mania was on full display Monday as fans, still riding high from the franchise’s eighth World Series victory, formed massive crowds to meet Kiki Hernández at Raising Cane’s in Alhambra and Walker Buehler at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Cerritos. The meet-and-greets may be one of the last chances to see the two beloved players celebrating their World Series victory. Hernández’s contract with the team expired at the end of the season, while the Dodgers did not extend a $21-million qualifying offer to retain Buehler. As free agents, both could still resign with the Dodgers — Buehler has expressed interest in remaining with the team. However, he and Hernández are now on the open market, and fans were quick to seize on the opportunity to meet the two players while they could. People began gathering at Raising Cane’s at 1300 E. Valley Blvd. around 8 p.m. Sunday so they could be first in line when Hernández arrived at 10 a.m. Monday, according to KTLA. Meanwhile, Los Cerritos Community News reported that at 7 a.m. Monday a long line could already be seen wrapping around Dick’s

Kike Hernández alienta a la afición a pedir una renovación de contrato para el boricua en Dodgers

Cientos de aficionados se reunieron el lunes por la mañana en un restaurante de Alhambra para saludar al ídolo de la afición y actual campeón en la Serie Mundial con los Dodgers, Kike Hernández. El boricua fue clave en el campeonato de la novena angelina, donde la semana pasada conquistó el segundo título en Los Ángeles. Durante su visita a Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, el pelotero boricua filmó un comercial, así como varios promos en los que fue un trabajador del restaurante de comida rápida. Luego, al ver a cientos de aficionados en el estacionamiento ubicado en el 1300 E. Valley Blvd, se dirigió a ellos con un encargo para el presidente de operaciones de los Dodgers, Andrew Friedman. “Los quiero, amo ser un Dodger. Me encanta ganar y es lo que hacemos aquí, ganamos”, expresó Hernández. “Espero realmente regresar el próximo año para que podamos volver a ganar, así que asegúrense de hablar con (Andrew) Friedman y los otros”. Hernández jugó con los Dodgers de 2015 a 2020, así como de 2023 a 2024. Al volver a los Dodgers este año, firmó un contrato

At end of a long campaign, Harris and Trump spend bulk of final day in crucial Pennsylvania

Former President Trump spent his last full day of campaigning Monday saying that only he can save America from an apocalyptic future dominated by out-of-control government, an “invasion” of criminal immigrants and amoral liberals — messages of dark foreboding much like the ones that have powered the Republican’s decade on the national stage. Vice President Kamala Harris ended her campaign for the presidency with a series of rallies in which she promised to turn the page and put the U.S. on a more stable and hopeful trajectory, pledging not to seek revenge but to “spend every day working on my to-do list on your behalf.” While the messages from the two presidential candidates diverged sharply, they nearly came together geographically, with both spending much of Monday in Pennsylvania, a state seen as critical by both sides in securing an electoral college victory. The Keystone State awards more electoral votes to the winner — 19 — than any of the other states that are being most closely contested this year. Polls showed Pennsylvania in an apparent dead heat and the six other battlegrounds — Michigan, Wisconsin

Do you need an ID to vote in California?

For those holding out to vote in person on Election Day, you may or may not need to show your ID. It all depends on where you live. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), more than 30 states have laws requesting or requiring voters to show some form of identification at the polls. Nine of those states have what are considered “strict photo ID” laws, and another three have “strict non-photo ID” requirements. What does this mean? It’s simple: some states require an ID with a photo verifying the voter, such as a driver’s license, state-issued identification card, military ID, tribal ID, and other forms. As explained by NCSL, other states accept non-photo identification, such as a bank statement with name and address or other document that does not necessarily have a photo. The states below require a photo ID, according to Ballotpedia: Alabama Arkansas Florida: The ID also needs to have a signature on it Georgia Idaho Indiana Iowa: Another registered voter could, however, attest to the voter’s identity, if they do not have an ID with them Kansas Kentucky Louisiana

Man dies after being buried under hot asphalt

A 41-year-old man died Monday morning after being buried under hot asphalt while trying to repair his dump truck in Mississippi, authorities said. The victim, identified as Darrell Sheriff, was a private contractor who was picking up a load of asphalt at AJ Materials in Jackson when his vehicle malfunctioned around 10:30 a.m. Sheriff was underneath the truck working on a hydraulic line when the tailgate opened and asphalt fell on him, the Jackson Police Department said in a statement. Police Chief Joseph Wade said some people at the scene tried to help him to no avail. “It’s very horrific. It’s very tragic,” Wade told reporters during a Monday afternoon briefing. The police chief also offered his condolences to the victim’s family. “I talked to some of his family here on scene. They said he was a good man, a hardworking man, just trying to make a living, and that’s just the synopsis of so many people here in the city of Jackson,” Wade said. “Let’s keep his family uplifted in prayer.” Wade said the investigation is ongoing, but Sheriff’s death appears to be accidental.
