'Jeopardy!' fans stunned after Lord's Prayer question stumps all 3 contestants

Published Mon, 17 Feb 2025 09:26:59 GMT

(WFLA) – Fans of the game show "Jeopardy!" were left reeling after a seemingly easy question about the most commonly recited Christian prayer stumped all three contestants. The perturbing puzzle popped up during Tuesday night's episode. The $200 clue — typically considered the easiest in its category — read, “Matthew 6:9 says, ‘Our Father, which art in heaven,’ This ‘be thy name.’”The three contestants — Suresh Krishnan, Laura Blyler and Joe Seibert — did not attempt to solve the puzzle. Host Mayim Bialik revealed the answer was “hallowed" and it didn't take long for the clip to go viral. ‘It was worth it’: Florida man who blocked Trump motorcade speaks after release from jail “None of them even took a guess," one Twitter user wrote.

Juneteenth: The story behind the federal holiday

Published Mon, 17 Feb 2025 09:26:59 GMT

Americans will soon celebrate Juneteenth, marking the day when the last enslaved people in the United States learned they were free.For generations, Black Americans have recognized the end of one of the darkest chapters in U.S. history with joy, in the form of parades, street festivals, musical performances or cookouts.The U.S. government was slow to embrace the occasion — it was only in 2021 that President Joe Biden signed a bill passed by Congress to set aside Juneteenth, or June 19th, as a federal holiday.And just as many people learn what Juneteenth is all about, the holiday’s traditions are facing new pressures — political rhetoric condemning efforts to teach Americans about the nation's racial history, companies using the holiday as a marketing event, people partying without understanding why.Here is a look at the origins of Juneteenth, how it became a federal holiday and more about its history.HOW DID JUNETEENTH START?The celebrations began with enslaved people in Galveston, ...

Here are the top allegations that led to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s impeachment

Published Mon, 17 Feb 2025 09:26:59 GMT

AUSTIN (Texas Tribune) — On a late-September Wednesday in 2020, several of Attorney General Ken Paxton’s highest-ranking deputies walked into the FBI’s Austin office to make an explosive accusation: Their boss, one of the state’s most influential Republicans, appeared to be dirty.Paxton, they said, had personally directed his powerful agency to take unusual and probably illegal actions to help a friend and campaign donor, Austin real estate investor Nate Paul, who was under federal investigation for fraud.Paxton’s interest in Paul’s plight was bizarre, obsessive and so far beyond normal operations at the attorney general’s office that the agency’s top officials struggled to convey their concerns during the hourslong meeting with two FBI agents.In addition to obstruction of justice, harassment and abuse of office, they added, Paxton had apparently accepted bribes from Paul.Back in the office the next day, seven of the agency’s top-ranking officials sent Paxton a text message saying t...

Denver weather: Heavy rain expected, raising flood risks from mountain foothills across saturated cities to the plains

Published Mon, 17 Feb 2025 09:26:59 GMT

The foggy, humid weather reducing visibility Friday morning in metro Denver will shift in the afternoons and evenings to stormier conditions, bringing waves of potentially intense rain and raising flood risks as saturated soil cannot easily absorb more water — a pattern expected to persist Saturday before a warming trend kicks in Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.Weather service officials issued a flood watch, effective from noon through 10 p.m., covering metro Denver and most of Colorado’s Front Range along with the southeastern high plains. Rivers and streams were running high and fast as rain adds to flows from melting mountain snowpack.The rain storms developing over the mountains Friday morning mean elevated flood risks in the canyons and foothills northwest of Denver where the Cameron Peak and East Troublesom fires ravaged vegetation, creating scars prone to erosion. Exceptionally heavy rain was expected in the Palmer Divide area between Denver and ...

California artists, chefs find creative ways to confront destructive 'superbloom' of wild mustard

Published Mon, 17 Feb 2025 09:26:59 GMT

While ripping out yellow blooms blanketing hillsides in Los Angeles, Max Kingery has been questioned about his fervor for killing flowers.But the clothing designer who used the plants to dye his spring and summer lines said he takes no offense at being accused of pillaging this part of California’s “superbloom.” Instead, he sees it as an opportunity to raise awareness about a destructive flower that proliferated in the state following an unusually wet winter: wild black mustard.Mustard was among the most prominent of wild flowering plants that seemingly popped up everywhere in California this spring. As temperatures warm it is starting to die, making it tinder for wildfires in a state that has been ravaged by blazes. Its stalks can act as fire ladders, causing flames to climb.Visitors walk on a pathway amid fields of blooming flowers at the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, Monday, April 10, 2023, in Lancaster, Calif.Mustard also smothers native plants, transforming the land...

Published Mon, 17 Feb 2025 09:26:59 GMT

An uncommonly large grouping of orcas for Northern California — roughly two dozen killer whales — was spotted by a whale-watching tour off the coast of San Francisco last month, likely gathered together to celebrate a successful hunt for sea lions or seals.“I screamed ‘orca!’” recalled Michael Pierson, an Oceanic Society naturalist leading the tour, after noticing “those distinct dorsal finds poking out of the water.”“It was really, really special,” Pierson said in an interview Wednesday.The big group of whales was seen on May 7 near the Farallon Islands, about 28 miles (45 kilometers) west of San Francisco. Killer whales are more commonly found around the deep ocean canyon beneath Monterey Bay — about 75 miles south of the city — and can be spotted anywhere from the coastline to just 5 miles offshore, according to Nancy Black, a marine biologist and owner of Monterey Bay Whale Watch.In this photo provided by Michael Pierson, an unusually large group of killer whales was spotted off...
