I watched Mom lock the door after the policeman left and ducked out of sight so she wouldn’t see me. I was supposed to be upstairs in bed, but when she went to the bathroom to take her shower, I came down to the kitchen to get a drink of grape Kool-Aid, my favorite. I was on my way back upstairs when he knocked on the door. I froze in the middle of the steps, thinking “Oh crap, I’m gonna get it.”

“Sara! Get the door please.” Mom yelled at me, thinking I was still in my bedroom. Before I could turn around to go back down the stairs to open the door, he knocked again.

“Sara! Open the door, I’m in the bathroom girl!” Mom yelled louder.

Recent breaking news alert after alert have all had the same devastating message: The United States, at President Biden’s direction, has bombed multiple sites across Yemen. Today, the risk of an all-out regional war in the Middle East is higher than it has been in years. Over the past several weeks, the Houthis, who form the de facto government in much of Yemen, have launched numerous attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea. They claim it’s in response to Israel’s deadly war in Gaza — and as violence like this continues to spill across the region, the U.S. government must be steadfast in its restraint and calls to see the violence end.  Unfortunately, another round of U.S.

Is Jake Johnson the most likable actor in Hollywood? It’s hard to argue against it. His memorable roles include Nick Miller in “New Girl” and the voice of Peter B. Parker in “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” Not only is he a talented actor, but he also showcases his skills as a writer and director in Hulu’s latest film, “Self Reliance,” in which he wears all three hats.

Jake Johnson is Tommy, a middle-aged man struggling with his career and coping with a recent breakup (he’s clearly not over) and lives with his mom. His life takes a bizarre turn when he’s recruited by Andy Samberg, playing himself, for a dark web game. The objective: survive 30 days and win a million dollars. However, there is a catch: hunters will actively try to kill him during that time. The only loophole is that he cannot be harmed as long as he is with someone.

Wednesday, January 24, 1-2pm, Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission [MORPC], 111 Liberty St.

All Aboard Ohio is thrilled to announce that the Whistle Stop Tour is coming to Columbus, Ohio! Join us and the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) for an informative session where we will provide updates on our progress in the FRA (Federal Railroad Administration) process, which is a crucial step in securing funding for passenger rail service. We are confident that we are making great strides in this area and will continue to do so. We will share our plans for the future and discuss the next steps in the FRA process and our efforts to bring passenger rail service to Ohio. We are confident that we can make this a reality and are excited to have you join us on this journey!

Additionally, we will discuss the outcomes of our 3C&D [Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton] Economic Impact Analysis, which was conducted to evaluate the potential economic advantages of initiating passenger rail service in Ohio. The analysis findings are positive, and we look forward to discussing them in detail.

Lies Exposed 

Detective Richardson sat in his unmarked black police car, watching Sheila and Sara walking towards their house. Sheila was about three feet in front of Sara, walking fast, hips swinging from side to side. Sara seemed to be almost running to keep up with her mother, looking back over her shoulder every few steps as if someone were following them to their home. When they got to their front stoop, Shelia stopped abruptly, and Sara bumped into her backside because she was looking backwards.

“Girl! Look where you going!” Sheila shouted at Sara as she continued up the steps, looked in the mailbox, took out some mail, glanced through it then unlocked her front door and entered with Sara behind. The door closed with a solid shut. Richardson made a note in his notebook, snapped it shut and put his pencil in his upper coat pocket. He had been sitting here, about three houses down from Sheila’s for about forty-five minutes. As he went over his notes while waiting, he refreshed his memory.
