155 insurance companies sue Xcel Energy over Marshall fire losses

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:56:46 GMT

More than 150 insurance companies are suing Xcel Energy over the Marshall fire in an attempt to reclaim money those insurers paid in settlements to the wildfire’s victims.The companies’ joint lawsuit comes less than a month after the Boulder County sheriff and district attorney named the utility as one of two entities responsible for the deadly Dec. 30, 2021, fire, which caused more than $2 billion in property damage.A 17-month investigation determined that the fire was started in part by a faulty Xcel Energy power line that arced and sent burning pieces of metal into dry brush at a county park. But the investigation also pinned blame on lingering embers from a debris fire that had been started a week earlier on property owned by the Twelve Tribes, a religious cult.The lawsuit, filed Thursday in Boulder County District Court, does not name the Twelve Tribes or its members as defendants. It also does not specify the amount of money the insurance companies are seeking from...

Iran and Russia are united in their denial of Azerbaijani and Ukrainian identities

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:56:46 GMT

In August 2022, Iran joined the Russian-Belarusian coalition fighting the genocidal war against Ukraine. By December of that year, Iran had supplied more than 1,700 drones that are capable of suicide attacks, surveillance and intelligence. This year Russia and Iran developed a plan to build a plant in the Russian Federation to build 6,000 Iranian drones each year, writes Taras Kuzio.Most Western analysts have focused on a common anti-American and anti-Western front as the main reason why Iran joined the Russian-Belarusian coalition. All three countries are hostile to what they describe as the US-led unipolar world which they seek to replace with a ‘multipolar world.’While there is no doubt Iran’s theocratic regime has always been virulently anti-American and anti-Western this does not explain why the most powerful potential member of such a coalition – China – has maintained a guarded neutrality and has not supplied military equipment to Russia. Indeed, at the UN, China has mainly a...

Elias: Judge-shopping a harmful American practice that should stop

Judge-shopping is commonplace in American courts, with lawyers constantly trying to get their cases heard by judges they consider predisposed to rule their way.Related ArticlesLocal Opinion | Elias: Solution to some of California’s housing problems at hand Local Opinion | Elias: California insurance chief mustn’t cave in to industry he regulates Local Opinion | Elias: Newsom should appeal decision to free Manson Family member It was carried to new extremes this spring, though, in at least two cases with the potential to affect millions of current and future lives. When one district judge ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to withdraw its approval of the orally-taken abortion drug mifepristone and another ruled that the drug must be kept available in 17 states that sued for it in his court, there was no doubt about the judge-shopping in play.Both courts lacked any semblance of the fairness and objectivity that citizens ...

Barabak: Don’t count on California being a presidential kingmaker in 2024

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:56:46 GMT

It’s summer in California, a time when thoughts turn to sandy beaches, sultry nights and, among a certain set, the significance of the state’s March 2024 presidential primary.More than half a century has passed since California played a decisive role choosing either a Democratic or Republican nominee.The last time was in 1972, when George McGovern’s defeat of Hubert Humphrey after a prolonged fight sent the South Dakota Democrat forth to a landslide defeat at the hands of President Nixon.Ron DeSantis hadn’t even been born.That’s a long, frustrating time for California to cede the spotlight to the likes of Iowa and New Hampshire — states that, respectively, have about as many residents as Los Angeles and San Diego.Clearly, size doesn’t matter. The Iowa-New Hampshire axis has been rooted at the front of the nominating calendar for the last several decades, giving voters there enormous sway over which candidates fall by the wayside and which advance to the many contests elsewhere aroun...

Michelle Chang thought the wind sound echoing through the car was just her imagination as she drove south on the 5 freeway toward Irvine. Her weekend duffel bag was in the trunk, alternative music filled the air and Coco, a Snowshoe Siamese, was resting atop her kennel as she approached Disneyland.Chang was 21 and almost home, excited to surprise her mother with Coco’s visit on Mother’s Day weekend in 2021. The UC Santa Barbara graduate had taken the family’s beloved 8-year-old feline up north so she could have company during the pandemic.After missing for two years, Coco relaxes in Michelle Chang’s Irvine living room on Saturday, July 8, 2023. She was reunited with her family after a Disneyland guest found the gentle cat wandering outside her hotel near the resort, became concerned for her safety, and called a cat rescue group who discovered she was microchipped.
