Dean Kremer started perhaps the two most important games of the Orioles’ regular season, and he delivered both times.He’ll likely need to again for Baltimore to stay alive.Manager Brandon Hyde on Monday named Kremer as Baltimore’s starting pitcher for Tuesday’s Game 3 of the American League Division Series against the Texas Rangers.

Trump says war in Israel would not have happened on his watch

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:03:42 GMT

WOLFEBORO, N.H. — It’s hard to say what precisely was eating at the former president, but a speech he delivered in New Hampshire on Columbus Day lacked some of the vigor typically evident in a Trump campaign address.Even while making the bold assertion that the war Israel finds itself in against Hamas would not have occurred had he been left in the White House for a second term, he seemed more circumspect than might be expected from the famously bombastic businessman.The voters were as engaged as at any Trump rally. Indeed, hundreds waited outside or in the hallways of the at-capacity Kingswood Arts Center while the 45th president declared to a standing-room-only crowd of more than 800 that it was the weaknesses of Biden administration policies that led to the deaths in Israel over the weekend.“Can you imagine what this guy has done to us? That would have never happened, the attack on Israel would have never, ever happened,” Trump said early in his hour-and-a-half-long address, his ...
