Prince Harry probably revealed drug use in visa application, report says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:47:14 GMT

As questions simmer over Prince Harry’s ability to remain in the United States, due to his public statements about using cocaine, cannabis and hallucinogens, people close to the Duke of Sussex suggest he probably revealed his drug use when he applied for a visa.The sources told The Telegraph that he was truthful on his visa application, meaning he probably disclosed his drug use, which has apparently continued since he moved to the United States in 2020.U.S. Immigration law says that any visa applicant who is determined to be a drug abuser or addict is inadmissible, though immigration officials can use their discretion to waive the rule.It’s likely that Harry must renew his visa this year, given that he arrived in the United States three years ago, eager to escape what he said was the repression of life in the British royal family. He and his American wife, Meghan Markle, settled in a mansion in Montecito and have been busy raising their children and building financially...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:47:14 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Coach Steve Kerr has mulled all the possible scenarios for the last few games of the regular season.Donte DiVincenzo has also caught himself earlier in the week doing the math to see how the Warriors could secure a top-six seed in the Western Conference to steer clear of the feared play-in tournament.Both have come to the same conclusion.“The easiest thing to do is just to win two games,” Kerr said Thursday after practice. “Otherwise we’re going to need some help.”But nothing has been easy for this Golden State team that has struggled mightily outside the Bay.The Warriors have the third-worst away record in the West at 9-30. They will close out their 82-game slate this weekend, playing in Sacramento on Friday before heading to Portland for the regular-season finale on Sunday.If the Warriors win out, they could climb to fifth place but would certainly finish no lower than sixth.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:47:14 GMT

The newts of Tilden Regional Park now have a few extra days to make their way out of woods, free from the threat of getting flattened by passing car tires.The East Bay Regional Park District announced this week that South Park Drive, which is closed from November through April 1 each year because so many newts cross it during their annual wet-weather migration, will be re-closed through April 14, after the Bay Area News Group wrote about a park ranger’s fruitless attempts to keep the 1.5-mile roadway free from automobile traffic for one more week.The news comes just in time, as more rainy, cool weather — the newts’ preferred conditions for migration — is forecast to hit the Bay Area again.In an email to EBRPD staff, General Manager Sabrina Landreth said the delayed opening will allow more time for the small tributary streams within the upper Wildcat Creek watershed to dry up.Landreth added that their operations and stewardship departments will continue to refine road closure protoco...
