'Jesus is here for me.'Mac Jones threw two touchdown passes Sunday and the Jacksonville Jaguars earned a season sweep of the visiting Tennessee Titans with a 20-13 victory. Jones connected on 15 of 22 passes for 174 yards, finding Parker Washington and rookie Bryan Thomas Jr. for scores, as Jacksonville (4-12) left Tennessee (3-13) behind in the AFC South cellar. Cam Little booted field goals of 48 and 44 yards. Mason Rudolph hit 19 of 31 attempts for 193 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Titans, which dropped their fifth consecutive game. Tyjae Spears rushed for 95 yards on 20 carries, playing in place of Tony Pollard (flu/ankle). Jones' 11-yard scoring strike to Thomas with 7:05 left in the game gave the Jaguars a 20-10 lead but Tennessee responded with Matthew Wright's 28-yard field goal at the 2:02 mark. After getting a three-and-out, the Titans had a chance to force overtime and reached the Jacksonville 26. But Rudolph's fourth-down pass intended for Nick Westbrook-Ikhine was knocked down at the goal line with nine seconds left. The pregame storyline concerned which team could benefit most from a loss. Both entered a game behind the New York Giants for the potential No. 1 overall pick in April's NFL Draft. Jacksonville initiated scoring on the game's opening drive, needing to drive only 38 yards on nine plays to set up Little for his first field goal at the 10:46 mark. The Jaguars got into the end zone for the first time with 8:59 left in the half on Jones' 2-yard touchdown pass to Washington, coming five plays after Rudolph tossed a tipped-ball interception. Little's second field goal upped the margin to 13-0 with 2:02 remaining before Tennessee pieced together a two-minute drive that set up Wright for a 39-yard field goal as time expired, making it 13-3 at halftime. The Titans started the second half with their best drive of the game, chewing up 85 yards and eight minutes before Rudolph hit Nick Vannett with an 8-yard strike to cut the margin to 13-10. --Field Level Media
Incumbent Bob Casey concedes Pennsylvania Senate race to Dave McCormickNoneAn auto industry leader says U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's threat of tariffs on Canadian goods would have devastating effects for the sector, forcing both Canadian and U.S. consumers to pay higher prices. Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association, says it's unreasonable to apply such a tax to vehicle parts, which may cross the border up to eight times before ending up in a finished vehicle. Trump sparked backlash among Canadian business and political leaders after posting to Truth Social on Monday that he will sign an executive order imposing a 25 per cent tariff on all products coming to the United States from Canada and Mexico. Volpe says cars "would cease to be made by American companies" with tariffs that high, noting the auto industry works with single-digit profit margins. He says any cross-border tax would increase the cost of components and raw materials that go back and forth between the neighbouring countries, leading to a slowdown in production and higher prices at the dealership. Trump's social media post had said such a tariff would remain in place until Canada and Mexico stop drugs and people from illegally crossing the borders.

Prime Minister James Marape has officially released his 2025 address to the people of Papua New Guinea, highlighting the country’s 50 years of independence and reflects on the country’s achievements in the last five years. My Fellow Papua New Guineans, As the sun rises on 2025, we stand at a monumental juncture in our history—our Golden Jubilee. This year, we celebrate 50 years of independence, a journey that began in 1975 when Papua New Guinea became a sovereign nation. It is a time to honor our past, recognise our achievements, and recommit ourselves to the ideals that our founding fathers envisioned: unity, progress, and prosperity for all. Reflecting on 50 Years of Nationhood In 1975, a dream was realised as Papua New Guinea claimed its rightful place among the community of nations. Under the leadership of the visionary Sir Michael Somare and other courageous patriots, our country declared its independence, not through conflict, but with dignity, peace, and unity. Ours has been a journey marked by trials and triumphs. From the challenges of nation-building and the Bougainville Crisis to the global economic shifts of recent decades, we have risen to each challenge with resilience. Today, we stand united as a people of immense cultural diversity, with over 800 languages and traditions woven together into a rich tapestry of shared identity. This diversity is not a source of division—it is our greatest strength. It is the essence of who we are as Papua New Guineans and will continue to guide us as we move forward into the next chapter of our history. Acknowledging the Role of the Church As we commemorate this historic milestone, we must also acknowledge the pivotal role that the Church has played in shaping Papua New Guinea’s moral and social fabric over the past five decades. From education to healthcare, from fostering unity to providing spiritual guidance, the Church has been a cornerstone of our nation’s development. In 2025, the Church will lead key aspects of our Golden Jubilee celebrations. In August, churches across the country will host a Month of Prayer, Repentance, and Healing, culminating in the National Repentance Day on August 26. This will bring our people together in a spirit of humility and renewal. Furthermore, on August 30, 2025, Papua New Guinea and Bougainville will observe a Day of Reconciliation—a profound moment of healing and unity as we strengthen bonds and honor our shared commitment to peace and prosperity. Achievements of the Last Five Years As we reflect on our journey, we must also celebrate the significant progress made in the last five years under the Marape-Rosso Government. These achievements reflect the strength of our collective efforts and our commitment to building a better Papua New Guinea: Economic Growth: The national economy grew from K79.6 billion in 2019 to K122 billion in 2024, supported by resource projects like PNG LNG and reforms in agriculture, fisheries, and SMEs. Infrastructure Development: Through the Connect PNG Programme, over 2,400 kilometres of highways and 93 bridges have been completed, linking rural communities to essential services and markets. Education: We have made significant strides in transforming our education system to ensure no child is left behind. The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programmes and the establishment of Schools of Excellence are equipping our youth with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in a modern world. The expansion of Flexible Open Distance Education (FODE) has brought learning opportunities to students in remote areas, while the Higher Education Loan Programme ( HELP) has made tertiary education accessible for thousands of young Papua New Guineans. These initiatives reaffirm our commitment to leaving no child behind and empowering the next generation to build a prosperous Papua New Guinea. Health: As we celebrate 50 years of independence, our state-of-the-art facilities for heart and cancer treatment will be operational in Papua New Guinea for the first time, eliminating the need for our people to seek these critical services overseas. At the same time, we continue to expand access to modern basic healthcare by upgrading rural health centers and hospitals nationwide. These efforts underscore our dedication to providing quality healthcare for every Papua New Guinean, ensuring that no one is left behind. Climate Leadership: Papua New Guinea has emerged as a global leader in sustainability, pioneering initiatives in carbon trading, renewable energy, and environmental conservation. These achievements demonstrate what we can accomplish when we unite around a shared vision and purpose. Celebrating Our Golden Jubilee 2025 will be a year of reflection, celebration, and forward planning. To ensure that all Papua New Guineans feel included in this historic milestone, a range of events and initiatives will take place: Economic Growth and Jobs: Investments in infrastructure, agriculture, and SMEs to drive job creation and economic diversification. Strengthening Security: Enhanced funding for police, defense, and judiciary services to ensure safety and justice for all. Cost-of-Living Relief: Removing GST on essential goods like rice, chicken, and tinned fish to ease household pressures. Sustainability: Initiatives in renewable energy and climate solutions to protect our environment for future generations. Forging Ahead: A Clear Vision for the Next 20 Years As we look to the future, we must reflect on our journey and set clear goals for the next phase of our development. Within the framework of Vision 2050, we will focus on the period from 2025 to 2045 to lay the foundation for transformative economic growth. This phase will prioritise: Manufacturing: Ensuring our resources are processed locally, creating jobs and increasing export value. Special Economic Zones: Establishing zones that foster industrialisation and economic diversification. Workforce Growth: Expanding education and training to equip our people with the skills needed for a modern economy. Infrastructure Development: Continuing the Connect PNG Programme to provide markets, healthcare, and education to all communities. By catching up on missed opportunities from the first 15 years of Vision 2050, we will propel our nation from its 50th to its 70th anniversary with a visible, actionable blueprint for progress. A Call to Unity and Patriotism Fellow Papua New Guineans, this Golden Jubilee is not just a celebration—it is a call to action. It reminds us of the sacrifices of our ancestors and challenges us to honor their legacy by building a nation that is strong, inclusive, and prosperous. Let us unite as one people, one nation, with a shared vision for the future. Let the drumbeats of our kundu resonate across the land, and let the vibrant colors of our bilums reflect our pride and hope. Together, we will write the next chapter of Papua New Guinea’s history—a chapter of progress, unity, and opportunity for all. May God bless you all, and may God bless our beloved Papua New Guinea.
