A new report says Canada needs to rethink its approach to health care to help manage rising costs as people age. CSA Group, an organization that helps policymakers develop standards around health and safety, says health care currently costs about $12,000 per year for each person 65 years and older, compared to $2,700 for each person younger than 65. Today’s report says seniors make up about 18 per cent of Canada’s population but account for about 45 per cent of health-care spending by provincial and territorial governments. The group projects costs will continue to increase significantly, with seniors making up 22 per cent of the Canadian population by 2040. Jordann Thirgood, manager of CSA Group’s public policy centre, says that will coincide with more retirees and therefore less income tax revenue to pay for health costs. Thirgood says governments need to put more resources into illness prevention, including addressing factors such as housing, mental health and loneliness, which affect people’s overall health as they age. “The Canadian health-care system is often described as a ‘sickness treatment’ or ‘illness treatment’ system, (where) our public health-care system is primarily focused on doctors and hospitals,” she said in an interview Tuesday. That means “less focus on preventive care, wellness, and increasingly urgent needs in uninsured areas such as mental health,” says the report, which is called Aging Canada 2040: Policy Implications of Demographic Change. Thirgood said focusing on social determinants of health and addressing people’s health needs over the course of their lives to help them age well is critical to reducing illness and the associated health-care costs. She said that can have a big impact on improving people’s overall health as they age. ”There’s strong evidence that correlates social isolation and loneliness with serious health risk,” Thirgood said. “Research shows that (it) is similar to or even exceeding risks such as smoking, obesity and physical inactivity.” Homelessness is another factor that puts people at higher risk of chronic illness, she said — and many seniors are affected. ”We are increasingly seeing older adults that are unhoused as a result of increasing cost (and) financial insecurity,” Thirgood said. “Given ... the context of the housing crisis, I think we can imagine that that’s going to remain an urgent issue for the years to come.”
President-elect Donald Trump said on Saturday that he wants real estate developer Charles Kushner, father of Mr Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, to serve as ambassador to France. Mr Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post, calling Charles Kushner “a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, & dealmaker”. Mr Kushner is the founder of Kushner Companies, a real estate firm. Jared Kushner is a former senior Trump adviser who is married to Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka. The elder Mr Kushner was pardoned by Trump in December 2020 after pleading guilty years earlier to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations. Prosecutors alleged that after Charles Kushner discovered his brother-in-law was co-operating with federal authorities in an investigation, he hatched a scheme for revenge and intimidation. Mr Kushner hired a prostitute to lure his brother-in-law, then arranged to have the encounter in a New Jersey motel room recorded with a hidden camera and the recording sent to his own sister, the man’s wife, prosecutors said. Mr Kushner eventually pleaded guilty to 18 counts including tax evasion and witness tampering. He was sentenced in 2005 to two years in prison – the most he could receive under a plea deal, but less than what Chris Christie, the US attorney for New Jersey at the time and later governor and Republican presidential candidate, had sought. Mr Christie has blamed Jared Kushner for his firing from Mr Trump’s transition team in 2016, and has called Charles Kushner’s offences “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted when I was US attorney”. Mr Trump and the elder Mr Kushner knew each other from real estate circles and their children were married in 2009.The 70+ best Black Friday Amazon deals still live: Apple, Roborock, Kindle, and more
NORMAL — Heartland Community College has been recognized by the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge as a 2024 Most Engaged Campus for college student voting. “By supporting student voter participation, we reinforce our commitment to service-learning and civic engagement,” said Sarah Diel-Hunt, vice president of enrollment and student services at Heartland, in a statement. “As part of our mission to promote student success, it is vital to assist our students with the tools of civic and social responsibility that will help empower them and bring their informed voices to the community we serve.” Heartland joins a group of 471 colleges and universities recognized by ALL IN for participating in the ALL In Campus Democracy Challenge, sharing their campus voting data from the 2022 National Study of Learning, Voting and Engagement reports, creating a democratic engagement plan and having a current signatory to ALL IN's Higher Education President's Commitment to student voter participation, according to a news release. The ALL IN challenge is a national nonpartisan initiative of nonprofit organization Civic Nation, the news release said. It engages 10.8 million students from more than 1,075 institutions in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. “The research is clear: colleges and universities that make intentional efforts to increase nonpartisan democratic engagement have higher campus voter registration and voter turnout rates. This year we saw more colleges than ever before step up their efforts to ensure that their students were registered and ready to make their voices heard at the ballot box," stated Jennifer Domagal-Goldman, executive director of the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge. “These Most Engaged Campuses are setting the standard for nonpartisan civic engagement work for colleges and universities across the country.” Local officials from the community and college as well as with the company joined together Thursday at Country Financial headquarters, 1701 Towanda Avenue, in Bloomington, to announce the mile-long trail project which will be called the Country Financial Trail at Heartland and extend the Constitution Trail.

Barnes was inserted into the Toronto Raptors starting lineup ahead of tonight's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He broke his right orbital bone in the fourth quarter of Toronto's 121-119 overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets on Nov. 4. Barnes was expected to be out at least three weeks with the injury but came back slightly ahead of schedule. Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic would not say who would be moved to the bench to make space for Barnes. The 23-year-old all-star forward was averaging 19.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and six assists per game before the injury. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 21, 2024.
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Jahmal Banks let out deep breath that would have been visible a few minutes earlier on the Kinnick Stadium field as the pom-pom atop his red stocking cap bobbed. What’s left? The Nebraska senior receiver hadn’t really considered it yet. His spirits — not to mention body temperature — were too down in the moments after another walk-off loss to Iowa. Regular season over, with this fifth defeat in six games stinging more as the numbness began to wear off. “Get better,” Banks said finally. “Craft. At the end of the day, it’s still football. For the people who are going to be with us, we’ll give everything we have. And just keep going.” The day after the Iowa game has been Blacker Saturday for Nebraska for most of the last decade. It usually marks the end of games and beginning of an offseason of reflection and roster change while other teams play in December and January. These Huskers will be busier. Early signing day moved up even earlier this cycle from mid-December to Wednesday and NU — at 19 known commits into the weekend and potential targets still in the balance — will try to close better than it did in Iowa City. The transfer portal opens Dec. 9 and coach Matt Rhule has said he expects upwards of 50 players to enter as the program begins to trim its roster from 150-plus on the way to next year’s mandated maximum size of 105. Of course, Nebraska will be an active shopper in the free-agent market, too. Unlike the past seven seasons, though, bowl season will also include a Nebraska bowl game. A year ago the matchups for possible bowls the Huskers are contenders for now — including the Music City, Guaranteed Rate, Pinstripe, GameAbove Sports and Duke’s Mayo — were announced the Sunday after conference championship weekend. That gives NU a full week to chew on yet another one-score loss before it has an opponent for which to prepare. While a crowd of Iowa players reveled in boisterous extended postgame interviews, only a few Huskers spoke. Those brief sessions — for just a few minutes each as the team hurried to pack up and return to Lincoln — were more about the future than the painful immediate past. Quarterback Dylan Raiola — like his new offensive coordinator, Dana Holgorsen — said he knew he would take at least a day or two off. “I’m not really sure what’s going to happen next, what bowl we’re going to or what’s going on,” the freshman said. “We’ll figure that out soon.” Senior defensive lineman Ty Robinson wore a straight face as he considered that his sixth and final college season would last longer than any of the others. Even with a likely NFL future coming, don’t count him as part of the modern trend of postseason opt-outs “Come back on Monday,” Robinson said. “It’s new for me so I don’t really know what to expect. I’m excited to be a part of it, though. I love this program. I love that I get to be able to practice and play football for the next few weeks and get to go to a bowl game.” Rhule — as angry as he was upset late Friday — said the Iowa result should “probably bother people” for a while. It should fester with younger players who will be back in red inside Kinnick Stadium in 2026. At some point, he said, Nebraska needs to finish. Chasing three points was the program’s season-long motto and ultimately the Hawkeyes were the ones who caught the triple. “It’s just where we’re at, you know what I mean?” Rhule said. “As dumb as that sounds, we have to get better. Have to get better.” Nebraska has objectively improved in areas from the beginning of the year. The defense was dominant save for one disastrous sequence on the 72-yard touchdown that began with a swing pass to Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson and included five missed tackles. The offense under Holgorsen moved and controlled the ball. But the shortcomings were on display, too. The Huskers forced no takeaways for a second time in November. Too many potential big plays on offense went unmade or unseen. Special teams featured another catastrophic moment on the muffed punt and a series of lesser miscues that consistently tilted field position toward the Hawkeyes. Friday wasn’t the season finale this time. Even it felt like it in the cold. “Losing this game doesn’t do justice to see all the success and the strides we’ve made as a team,” Raiola said. “But that’s what it is right now.” Get local news delivered to your inbox!6 Anti-Aging Hand Creams to Soothe Cracked, Dry Skin This Winter
Ruben Amorim warned “the storm will come” eventually as Manchester United’s head coach tried to temper expectations ahead of the trip to Arsenal. The 39-year-old has been a breath of fresh air since succeeding Erik ten Hag, with his personality and approach, coupled with promising early performances, bringing hope back to Old Trafford. Amorim has been touched by his warm welcome but repeatedly urged fans to avoid jumping the gun, having followed a draw at Ipswich with home wins against Bodo/Glimt and Everton. Wednesday’s trip to Arsenal is comfortably his biggest challenge yet and victory would see United move within three points of the Premier League title contenders. Put to Amorim it will be hard to manage expectations if they won in the capital, the head coach said: “I would like to say different things, but I have to say it again: the storm will come. “I don’t know if you use that expression, but we are going to have difficult moments and we will be found out in some games. “And I know that because I’m knowing my players and I know football and I follow football, so I understand the difference between the teams. “We are in the point in that we are putting simple things in the team, without training, and you feel it in this game against Everton, they change a little bit the way they were building up. “They are very good team, and we were with a lot of problems because we cannot change it by calling one thing to the captain. A midweek trip to the capital awaits 🚆 #MUFC || #PL pic.twitter.com/1e6VrILJW3 — Manchester United (@ManUtd) December 3, 2024 “So, we don’t have this training, so let’s focus on each game, on the performance, what we have to improve, trying to win games. And that is the focus. “I know it’s really hard to be a Manchester United coach and say these things in press conferences. We want to win all the time. No matter what. “We are going to try to win, but we know that we are in a different point if you compare to Arsenal. “So, it is what it is and we will try to win it and we go with confidence to win, but we know that we need to play very well to win the next football match.” The trip to Arsenal is the second of nine December matches for United, who are looking to avoid suffering four straight league defeats to the Gunners for the first time. The Red Devils have not won a Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium since 2017, but Amorim knows a thing or two about frustrating Mikel Arteta’s men. Arsenal thrashed Sporting Lisbon 5-1 in the Champions League last week, but in 2022-23 he led the Portuguese side to a Europa League last-16 penalty triumph after a 1-1 draw in London made it 3-3 on aggregate. “Arsenal this year, they play a little bit different,” Amorim said. “They are more fluid. “For example, two years ago when we faced them with Sporting, you knew how to press because you can understand better the structure. “Now it’s more fluid with (Riccardo) Calafiori and (Jurrien) Timber in different sides. One coming inside, the other going outside. Also (Martin) Odegaard changed the team, and you can feel it during this season. “So, you can take something from that game, especially because I know so well the opponent so you can understand the weakness of that team. “But every game is different, so you take something, but you already know that you are going to face a very good team.” This hectic winter schedule means Amorim sidestepped talk of January transfer business ahead of facing Arsenal, although he was more forthcoming on Amad Diallo’s future. The 22-year-old, who put in a man of the match display in Sunday’s 4-0 win against Everton, is out of contract at the end of the season, although the club holds an option to extend by a year. Diallo has repeatedly spoken of his desire to stay at United and it has been reported an agreement is close. Amorim said: “I think he wants to stay, and we want him to stay. So that is clear and we will find a solution.”
Arsenal’s BIG win sends stern message; striker’s record-breaking hat-trick: EPL Wrap
Musk issues approval of Fetterman after complimentsNEW DELHI: Election Commission , in its interim response Saturday to concerns raised by Congress regarding "arbitrary deletion and additions of voters" and increase in voting percentages between 5pm and 11.30pm on polling day in the recent Maharashtra and Jharkhand elections , reiterated that electoral roll updation is a transparent process conducted with the involvement of all political parties. The commission also agreed to meet a Congress delegation to hear the party's concerns regarding the polling process, EC sources said. While ruling out any discrepancy in turnout data, EC clarified - just as it had when similar doubts were raised by Congress during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections - that the gap in the 5pm data and the final voter turnout was on account of procedural priorities, as presiding officers perform statutory duties near the close of polling before updating voter turnout data. EC underlined in the letter sent to Congress's law, human rights and RTI department, that the poll panel has, starting with the 2024 general elections, made it a standard practice to put out a press statement with updated voter turnout figures as of 11.45pm on polling day, as an "additional disclosure measure". Congress had flagged the twin concerns despite the varied results in Maharashtra and Jharkhand - while the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance won a landslide in Maharashtra, UPA recorded a spectacular win in Jharkhand. Even as EC, in its response, tried to allay the concerns raised by Congress, it agreed to get the issues regarding the addition and deletion of voters examined. It not only agreed to convey its detailed and final reply to the issues raised but also granted an in-person hearing to the party delegation at 5pm on Dec 3. EC sources said the commission has agreed to meet a Congress delegation as it would like to hear what the party has to say on the concerns raised, in wake of the EC's repeated clarifications. In its letter to Congress, EC recalled its last letter to the party dated May 10, 2024, wherein it recorded the reasons for deviation in voting percentage at 5pm and at the close of polling day (around 11.45pm). It reiterated that total votes polled at each polling booth were given by the presiding officer, before leaving the polling station, to authorised agents of candidates in Form 17C Part 1, at the end of polling in Maharashtra and Jharkhand. "This cannot be changed...This number aggregates to final voter turnout which all political parties and candidates can verify," stated EC. EC said that it takes employees on poll duty from state govt departments. "The presiding officer, near the completion of polling at polling stations, performs multiple statutory responsibilities like filling up of various statutory forms, record keeping of activities in the presiding officer's diary, sealing of the machines, etc. The data feeding from polling stations into the turnout app, at this stage, thus takes time," it stated.
MaineHealth Healthy Community Coalition in Farmington has been selected as a recipient of a five-year $625,000 federal grant from the Office of National Drug Control Policy under the Drug-Free Communities support program to prevent youth substance use in Regional School Unit 73 based in Livermore Falls. Seen Tuesday, from left, are Jayde Couture, Healthy Community Coalition program coordinator; Holly Richards, Healthy Community Coalition project manager; Lorri Brown, Healthy Community Coalition senior program manager; LeeAnna Lavoie, Healthy Community Coalition director; Scott Albert, RSU 73 superintendent; Michael Blanchet, advertising director at Sun Journal; Heidi Sage, parent and business owner; Kat Whitney, Healthy Community Coalition program manager; Robyn Raymond, director of Spruce Mountain adult education; and Paula Keller, Spruce Mountain high school social worker. Picasa FARMINGTON — MaineHealth’s Healthy Community Coalition in Farmington has been selected to receive a five-year $625,000 federal grant from the Office of National Drug Control Policy under the Drug-Free Communities support program. The program, managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, represents an opportunity to strengthen ongoing efforts in preventing youth substance use in the community. Key focuses of the grant include: • Establishing a community coalition in Regional School Unit 73 to guide the grant’s implementation and build community capacity around substance use prevention. • Increasing community knowledge and communication about youth substance use and local prevention efforts. • Reducing youth substance use among middle and high school students in RSU 73 through evidence-based programs and practices. The Drug-Free Communities support program is the nation’s leading effort to mobilize communities to prevent and reduce substance use among youth. It provides federal grants to community coalitions to identify and respond to the issues unique to their community and change community conditions tied to youth substance use. With the grant, the Healthy Community Coalition will be able to continue building a safe, healthy, and drug-free community. “Preventing substance use today is critical, so that today’s youth don’t become tomorrow’s overdose victims. We are thrilled to award this grant because we know the outcomes (Drug-Free Communities)-funded coalitions are capable of achieving when implementing evidence-based prevention strategies at the local level.” said Helen Hernandez, administrator of the Drug-Free Communities program. Through the program, the CDC is empowering community coalitions to implement local solutions to unique, local conditions, with the common goal of preventing youth substance use,” Allison Arwady, MD, MPH, director of the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at CDC, said. The Health Community Coalition is grateful for the support of and partnership with the Office of National Drug Control Policy and CDC, LeeAnna Lavoie, Health Community Coalition executive director, said. “We are proud to share this mission and effort to prevent youth substance use and protect the well-being of our community,” she said. “Furthermore, this grant will allow us to better collaborate with our partners, including area youth sports, Jay Police Department, Maine CDC, Spruce Mt. Adult Education, MaineHealth Franklin Hospital, and Tri Valley United Way, among others. By focusing our collective expertise and resources on this critical issue, we will ensure a positive impact on our youth and community,” she said. RSU 73 Superintendent Scott Albert said he’s looking forward to working together on a serious issue that affects a great deal of people in our community. Over five years, the consortium aims to achieve short-term outcomes such as increased capacity in addressing youth substance use and improved parent knowledge. Intermediate outcomes include improved school climate and decreased youth access to substances, while long-term goals involve reducing rates of binge drinking, cannabis use, and vaping among youth, as well as decreasing substance use among adults.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Game turned into The Fight. As Michigan celebrated a 13-10 win over No. 2-ranked Ohio State , some Wolverines players made their way to midfield in an attempt to plant a Block M flag. Predictably, chaos ensued and a fight broke out.

Clips emerged on social media of Michigan players squinting and trying to clear their eyes . Eventually, Ohio State’s Jack Sawyer got his hands on the Michigan flag and ripped it from the pole. It still was a lengthy delay before the teams could be separated. Police ended up forming a wall between them. The aftermath pic.twitter.com/OHz4vaUo1W For Michigan, it’s a fourth straight win the rivalry. Running back Kalel Mullings was interviewed by FOX right after the brawl. “For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game,” Mullings said . “That’s just bad for the sport, bad for college football. But at the end of the day, some people gotta — they gotta learn how to lose, man. You can’t be fighting and stuff just because you lost a game. We had 60 minutes, four quarters to do all that fighting. And now they want to talk and fight. That’s wrong. That’s just bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion.

Further testing confirmed the second-year receiver tore the ACL in his left knee in addition to dislocating his kneecap, leaving him unavailable to the Texans for the rest of the season. When the news of the ACL tear came out, though, it was made clear Dell’s knee suffered other injuries as well. Providing specifics on that front, KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson reports the 25-year-old is dealing with MCL and LCL tears, along with meniscus damage. As a result, Wilson adds Dell will require multiple surgeries to repair the issues. That means a situation similar to that of Browns running back Nick Chubb will be in store. Chubb went down with his knee injury in Week 2 last year and was sidelined through the beginning of the current campaign. He returned in October before suffering a broken foot (which has left him out of the fold for the rest of the year). Given how late in the season Dell’s injury took place, though, his surgery schedule and recovery timeline could leave him on the sidelines deep into next season. Taking that point further, Wilson writes it is “regarded as an extremely unlikely scenario” the former third-rounder will be able to play at any point in 2025. If that were to be the case, it would add considerably to his missed time early in his career. Dell was limited to 14 games as a rookie after suffering a fractured fibula , an injury which ended his encouraging year. Expectations were high for 2024, during which he averaged 48 yards per game and scored three touchdowns. The final year of the Houston product’s rookie contract is 2026, which might be the next time he is available. The Texans did not add at the receiver position after Stefon Diggs suffered an ACL tear, but losing Dell prompted action. Houston claimed Diontae Johnson off waivers Monday , and he will have the opportunity to move past his short-lived Ravens tenure as a result. Johnson was a non-factor in Baltimore’s offense after arriving via trade from Carolina, but he could take on a notable workload in Houston down the stretch. Providing a consistent complementary presence would be welcomed on a Texans offense which is notably shorthanded. Houston’s attention will be on the final two games of the regular season in preparation for the second straight playoff appearance of C.J. Stroud ‘s career. Dell’s absence will be felt, though, and his recovery process will be a key storyline during the offseason. This article first appeared on Pro Football Rumors and was syndicated with permission.

FAQs For the most part, no, you do not need to be a Prime member to shop Black Friday and Cyber Week savings. Unlike Prime Day events, Cyber Week is not a members only sale event, and is open to non-Prime members. However, keep in mind that there may be some exclusive Prime-member only offers and perks you won't have access to without a membership, but the vast bulk of Amazon's sale is open to all. Amazon Prime costs $14.99 per month, or you can purchase an annual membership for $139, which will save you a few dollars. Also: These 5 new Amazon features make finding the products you need even easier College students and those aged 18-24 can get a discount and pay $7.49 per month or $69 per year. In addition, those with qualified government assistance (which may include select seniors) can receive a Prime membership for just $6.99 after their free trial. Black Friday always falls the day after Thanksgiving in the US. This year, Black Friday is today, Nov. 29, 2024. Cyber Monday is the Monday following Thanksgiving weekend and the end of the "Cyber 5" savings week. This year, Cyber Monday falls on Dec. 2, 2024. Black Friday certainly brings seasonal savings and, of course, some artificial deals you need to be aware of. But for the most part, it is a good time to score savings on a majority of products across tons of categories, from tech to home, to name a few. Perhaps the best part about Black Friday is the enormous amount of sales occurring at nearly every major retailer, both in-store and online, giving you the best opportunity to find savings at basically everywhere you like to shop. And while Amazon has great deals year-round, just like any other retailer, they're looking to maximize their sale traffic, too, meaning you can definitely expect savings. Semantics, mostly. Black Friday traditionally refers to the day of savings that follows Thanksgiving, which at one point was an in-stores-only event. Over the years, Black Friday sales have expanded and lengthened to include online retailers, hence "Cyber Week" and "Cyber Monday." Cyber Monday refers to the Monday following Thanksgiving weekend, and originally referred to online savings on lots of products. These days, both Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer similar savings in-store and online. While Amazon has some excellent deals live now, it isn't necessarily the "best" place to shop Black Friday. For many individuals (myself included), Amazon is just the most convenient retailer, especially if you already have a Prime membership and receive free shipping, since the retailer tends to drop their prices to match any other retailers offers. There's lots of great offers at other retailers like Walmart, Costco, Best Buy, Target, and more, and often they're all the same deals being offered, especially on top products like Apple Watches, laptops, tablets, and more. So really, where you purchase from is really up to you -- most of the time the deals are the same anyway. Amazon does not price match for individual customers, not even during Black Friday. You can submit a lower price to the retailer in hopes that they reflect that offer, but they will not honor another stores price after you've purchased elsewhere. However, while the retail giant doesn't price match for customers, it does tend to blanket price match other retailers, especially during peak sale periods. Right now during Cyber Week, Amazon pretty much always drops their prices on top products to match deals offered at other retailers in an effort to compete for customers. So while you may not be able to purchase an item at once price and have Amazon refund the difference, a lot of the time Amazon is already doing the price matching for you. Each holiday season, we carefully select the range of products we focus our coverage on, so we can be sure we're bringing you the best deals and the most information on products we're experts on. ZDNET also only writes about deals we want to buy -- devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we're recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing -- in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter. You can find Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals pretty much anywhere (that means in store and online). Popular retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Macy's, and more will all be offering holiday savings online and in their brick-and-mortar stores. Yes, Amazon sells tons of different gift cards of different monetary amounts for a plethora of stores and places. They sometimes will offer select gift cards on sale during Prime Day or Black Friday, usually for about 10% less than the value of the card. We'll be sure to include any top gift card offers in our Cyber Week coverage, but you can also check out Amazon's dedicated gift card tab .

Mr Kushner is the founder of Kushner Companies, a real estate firm. Jared Kushner is a former senior Trump adviser who is married to Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka. The elder Mr Kushner was pardoned by Trump in December 2020 after pleading guilty years earlier to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations. Prosecutors alleged that after Charles Kushner discovered his brother-in-law was co-operating with federal authorities in an investigation, he hatched a scheme for revenge and intimidation. Mr Kushner hired a prostitute to lure his brother-in-law, then arranged to have the encounter in a New Jersey motel room recorded with a hidden camera and the recording sent to his own sister, the man’s wife, prosecutors said. Mr Kushner eventually pleaded guilty to 18 counts including tax evasion and witness tampering. He was sentenced in 2005 to two years in prison – the most he could receive under a plea deal, but less than what Chris Christie, the US attorney for New Jersey at the time and later governor and Republican presidential candidate, had sought. Mr Christie has blamed Jared Kushner for his firing from Mr Trump’s transition team in 2016, and has called Charles Kushner’s offences “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted when I was US attorney”. Mr Trump and the elder Mr Kushner knew each other from real estate circles and their children were married in 2009.
