Fighting against the USSR didn’t necessarily make you a Nazi

Keir Giles is an author and commentator. His most recent book, “Russia’s War on Everybody,” looks at the effects that Russia’s malign influence around the world has on ordinary people.Everybody knows that a lie can make it halfway around the world before the truth has even got its boots on.And the ongoing turmoil over Canada’s parliament recognizing former SS trooper Yaroslav Hunka highlights one of the most important reasons why.Something that’s untrue but simple is far more persuasive than a complicated, nuanced truth — a major problem for Western democracies trying to fight disinformation and propaganda by countering it with the truth, and one reason why fact-checking and debunking are only of limited use for doing so.In the case of Hunka, the mass outrage stems from his enlistment with one of the foreign legions of the Waffen-SS, fighting Soviet forces on Germany’s eastern front. And it’s a demonstration of how when history is complicated, it can be a gift to propagandists...

Chicago Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts backs manager David Ross as team finishes 83-79: ‘He’s our guy’

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 17:45:35 GMT

The Chicago Cubs will have plenty of time to ponder the “what ifs” of a season that fell short of their postseason goal.Adding to the sting of finishing one game out of playoff position: the Cubs received the help they had needed coming into the weekend with the Arizona Diamondbacks getting swept by the Houston Astros. The Cubs, though, didn’t take care of business by dropping two of three games to the Milwaukee Brewers, including a 4-0 loss in Sunday’s season finale.They closed the season by losing 15 of their last 22 games. Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts described the up-and-down 83-79 year as “four different seasons” from getting off to an OK start and the subsequent slump that nearly derailed the season to rallying back over .500 and the rough final three weeks in September.“It’s tough to not achieve your goal,” Ricketts said Sunday. “It’s tough when you’re just a couple of games away from making the...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 17:45:35 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas — The worst game of Mac Jones’ NFL career ended with a benching late in the third quarter.Its start was even worse.On his second possession, the Cowboys stopped Jones on a fourth-down quarterback sneak. Turnover on downs.The next drive, he took a strip sack that resulted in a Dallas touchdown.After an ensuing three-and-out, Jones fired a pick-six across the field in one of the early lowlights of the NFL season.Naturally, he took the blame for the Patriots’ eventual 38-3 defeat, the most lopsided loss of the Bill Belichick era.“I’m very competitive, and I put a lot into it and I feel really bad,” Jones said post-game. “I let my team down, let the coaches down, the whole organization. Everybody. We’ve got a great fan base, and I got to put a better product out there to beat good teams.”Jones finished 12-of-21 for 150 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions. His 39.9 passer rating registered as the third-lowest of hi...

NEW YORK (AP) — With control over some of his most prized real estate holdings in jeopardy, former President Donald Trump says he will make a rare, voluntary trip to court Monday for the start of a civil trial in a lawsuit that has already resulted in a judge ruling that he committed fraud in his business dealings.“I’m going to Court tomorrow morning to fight for my name and reputation,” Trump wrote Sunday night on his Truth Social platform.Trump lashed out in his post at New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is suing him, and Judge Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over the non-jury trial and made the fraud ruling last week.“THIS WHOLE CASE IS SHAM!!!” Trump wrote. “See you in Court – Monday morning.”The trial is the culmination of a yearslong investigation by James, who accused Trump and his company of habitually lying about his wealth in financial statements.Last week, Engoron resolved the lawsuit’s top claim before the trial even began, ruling that Trump routin...

CHICAGO — Three Chicago groups are coming together to help people with permanent housing, furniture, clothing and supplies.
