"Because I was

A South Carolina death row inmate has chosen to be executed by a firing squad, which would make him only the fourth inmate in the U.S. to die by this execution method.Brad Sigmon, 67, who is scheduled to be killed on March 7, informed state officials on Friday that he wishes to die by firing squad rather than by lethal injection or the electric chair, citing, in part, the prolonged suffering the three inmates previously executed in the state had faced when they were killed by lethal injection.Sigmon was the first South Carolina inmate to choose a firing squad.

Hamas freed two hostages on Saturday in exchange for more than 600 Palestinian prisoners as part of the fragile ceasefire agreement with Israel.The men were identified as Tal Shoham, 40, and Avera Mengistu, 39.

It is actually astonishing watching Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass twisting in the wind (the Santa Ana winds, I guess). Just when you think this clueless, calamitous excuse for a "leader" can’t make it any worse, she does. Just look at her execrable performance this week. First she told us her new, expedited timeline for people who lost their homes in the wildfires to be able to rebuild and return: "three years would probably be the fastest, but, probably, it would be more like five." Five years! We built the Golden Gate Bridge from scratch in four.LOS ANGELES MAYOR KAREN BASS SACKS FIRE CHIEF WHO
