The incoming Trump administration’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services , Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. , has a history of scathing criticisms against the president-elect, including comparing him to Hitler and branding his supporters “belligerent idiots” and “outright Nazis.” The remarks, many of which were made on Kennedy’s “Ring of Fire” radio show in 2016, were uncovered by CNN . They mark the latest issue surrounding the Trump transition process, after Attorney General pick Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration , amid allegations of past sexual misconduct. During one broadcast, Kennedy read approvingly from an article that claimed the Trump coalition was made of a group of genuine Nazis bouyed by “a much larger group of opportunists and spineless fellow travelers whose primary function is to turn a blind eye to things.” “And, you know, he’s not like Hitler,” Kennedy added, arguing, “Hitler had like a plan, you know, Hitler was interested in policy ... I don’t think Trump has any of that. He’s like non compos mentis. He’ll get in there and who knows what will happen.” Elsewhere, Kennedy claimed that Trump was exploiting fear to gain political power during a time of national anxiety, comparing the Republican to dictators like Hitler and Mussolini, as well as Father Coughlin , a pro-Nazi U.S. radio host from the 1930s who commanded a large following. “And you can see that every statement that Donald Trump makes is fear-based,” Kennedy said in December of 2016, according to the report. “Every statement he makes. You know, we have to be fear of the Muslims. We have to be fear of the Black people, and particularly the big Black guy Obama, who’s destroying this country, who’s making everybody miserable.” In other comments, Kennedy, a longtime environmental lawyer, claimed Trump’s EPA leader was one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and accused Trump of pursuing a “pollution-based prosperity” that took aim at landmark environmental laws and climate accords like the Paris Agreement. “Like many Americans, I allowed myself to believe the mainstream media’s distorted, dystopian portrait of President Trump,” Kennedy said in a statement. “I no longer hold this belief and now regret having made those statements.” Kennedy isn’t the only member of the Trump inner circle who previously criticized the president-elect. JD Vance, prior to being chosen as Trump’s vice-president, called his fellow Republican a “cynical a**hole,” a “moral disaster,” a “total fraud,” an “idiot,” and suggested he might be “America’s Hitler.” Vance later explained that he was “wrong about the guy” and said he voted for Trump in 2020. “I was certainly skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016, but President Trump was a great president, and he changed my mind,” Vance said in July, explaining the shift. “I bought into the media’s lies and distortions.” In private messages in early 2020, Vance reportedly still thought Trump “thoroughly failed to deliver on his economic populism,” according to The Washington Post . Former Florida senator Marco Rubio, whom Trump has chosen to nominate for Secretary of State , also has a history of making barbed comments about Trump. He frequently branded his 2016 GOP rival an untrustworthy “con man” during the presidential primary campaign that year.Girls basketball photos: Rumson-Fair Haven at Westfield, Monday, Dec. 23bet365 dk 。

US-Bangladesh Relations: Ensuring Human Rights Amidst Transition

Congressional bicameral team pushes for insurance, pharmaceutical reformWASHINGTON (AP) — The chair of the Democratic National Committee informed party leaders on Monday that the DNC will choose his successor in February, an election that will speak volumes about how the party wants to present itself during four more years of Donald Trump in the White House. Jaime Harrison, in a letter to members of the party’s powerful Rules & Bylaws Committee, outlined the process of how the party will elect its new chair. Harrison said in the letter that the committee will host four candidate forums — some in person and some virtually — in January, with the final election on Feb. 1 during the party’s winter meeting in National Harbor, Maryland. The race to become the next chair of the Democratic National Committee, while an insular party affair, will come days after Trump is inaugurated for a second term. Democrats' selection of a leader after Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 loss will be a key starting point as the party starts to move forward, including addressing any structural problems and determining how to oppose Trump. Members of the Rules & Bylaws Committee will meet on Dec. 12 to establish the rules for these elections, which beyond the chair position will include top party roles like vice chairs, treasurer, secretary and national finance chair. The committee will also use that meeting to decide the requirements for gaining access to the ballot for those top party roles. In 2021, candidates were required to submit a nominating statement that included signatures from 40 DNC members and that will likely be the same standard for the 2025 campaigns. “The DNC is committed to running a transparent, equitable, and impartial election for the next generation of leadership to guide the party forward,” Harrison said in a statement. “Electing the Chair and DNC officers is one of the most important responsibilities of the DNC Membership, and our staff will run an inclusive and transparent process that gives members the opportunity to get to know the candidates as they prepare to cast their votes.” Two Democrats have announced campaigns for chair: Ken Martin, chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and a vice chair of the national party, and Martin O’Malley, the former Maryland governor and current commissioner of the Social Security Administration. Other top Democrats are either considering a run to succeed Harrison or are being pushed by party insiders, including former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke; Michael Blake, a former vice chair of the party; Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin; Rahm Emanuel, the U.S. ambassador to Japan and a former Chicago mayor; Sen. Mallory McMorrow, majority whip of the Michigan Senate, and Chuck Rocha, a longtime Democratic strategist. The next chair of the committee will be tasked with rebuilding a party demoralized by a second Trump victory. They will also oversee the party’s 2028 nominating process, a complex and contentious exercise that will make the chair central to the next presidential election. Harrison, of South Carolina, made clear in his letter to the rules committee that the four forums hosted by the party would be live streamed and the party would give grassroots Democrats across the country the ability to engage with the process through those events. He also said he intends to remain neutral during the chair election. ___ This story has been corrected to show that McMorrow is a senator, not a representative. Dan Merica, The Associated Press

Former industries minister Suresh Parulekar diesA New York man and former employee of the Social Security Administration confessed to his role in a scheme that targeted the elderly for payments to help family members with legal troubles, officials from the District Attorney’s office announced Wednesday. Victor Anthony Valdez, 39, of the Bronx, New York pleaded guilty in Newark federal court on Tuesday to charges of wire fraud conspiracy. Valdez previously worked as a claims specialist with the Social Security Administration and admitted to acting as a courier for the Dominican Republic-based “grandparent scam,” officials said in a press release. The scam operated from call centers in the Dominican Republic targeting elderly Americans, with callers claiming to be their grandchildren, attorneys representing their grandchildren in criminal matters, court personnel and other people associated with the legal system, authorities said. The callers told the victims that their grandchildren had been arrested and needed cash for bail or other expenses, and once convinced to provide cash, couriers collected money from the victims, according to authorities. Between August 2020 and August 2021, Valdez was accused of collecting or attempting to collect tens of thousands of dollars from victims at their homes in New York and New Jersey, officials said. Valdez’s sentencing is scheduled for April 9, 2025. An attorney for Valdez did not immediately return a request for comment Wednesday.

It was the fourth time this season they had conceded four or more and the performance showed why they have the Premier League’s worst defence. When O’Neil and the players went over to acknowledge the visiting supporters there were boos for a run of two wins in 14 league matches. “Whatever the fans think of me, there is definitely no-none working harder than me and I will continue to do so until someone tells me not to,” said O’Neil, who is under increasing pressure with his side second bottom of the table. “I go over there to see them because I appreciate every one of the Wolves fans. They have given me unbelievable support since I arrived at the football club,” he said. “We managed to produce some unbelievable stuff last season with a team that was heavily tipped by most of the nation for relegation. We managed to enjoy it together. “Now it is tough. I was happy to go over there and look them right in the face and take any criticism they want to throw at me. “I accept responsibility for my part in that. Whatever criticism they want to throw at me will not change how I feel about them. “Everyone at this football club needs to do more. We will get back to be ready to fight again on Monday (another crucial game against West Ham, whose manager Julen Lopetegui’s tenure is hanging by a thread). “I will work with everything I have. I will back myself to get the most out of the group. I understand the drive for change (but) you never know how much of a percentage of supporters it is.” Veteran Ashley Young ended Everton’s 370-minute wait for a goal with a 10th-minute free-kick, his first league goal for more than two years, and on-loan Lyon midfielder Orel Mangala blasted home his first for the club to establish a 2-0 half-time lead. Two Craig Dawson own goals secured Everton’s biggest home league win since April 2019, but manager Sean Dyche insisted their issues up front were far from sorted. He said: “It’s our fifth clean sheet in the last eight so the consistency has been there in one degree, we just haven’t been scoring goals. That’s been the hardest thing to find consistently and we haven’t solved it yet. “Goals change everything, they change opinions. That’s what football is like.” The victory was hugely important in a month in which, having been hammered 4-0 at Manchester United, they face top-six sides Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Nottingham Forest and undoubtedly eased some of the pressure on Dyche and his players. “I’ve told them how proud I am of them,” he added. “The challenges come thick and fast on and off the pitch and they just keep going. “It’s only a step and there are many more to go but it’s a good step and a positive step. “It’s a temporary moment in time because the next one is a big one (Saturday’s Merseyside derby).”No. 22 Xavier faces South Carolina St., eyes rebound from lone loss
