(The Center Square) – U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has been appointed to lead a subcommittee dedicated to working with President-elect Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency. Known as a Republican firebrand and close ally of Trump, Greene has already set her sights on rooting out “every penny of waste and abuse.” “We’ll be looking at everything from government-funded media programs like NPR that spread nothing but Democrat propaganda, we’ll be going into grant programs that fund things like sex apps in Malaysia, toilets in Africa,” she said on a media appearance Sunday morning. The subcommittee will be under the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which is chaired by U.S. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky. “We want to make the government more efficient,” Comer said on a media appearance . “We want to work for the taxpayers, not the bureaucrats. We hate the deep state, we’ve dealt with the deep state, we’ve fought the deep state.” He added that Republicans are excited to implement the recommendations of DOGE, which, as an advisory committee, will have to work with Trump and Congress to change policies. “What Trump has ... are willing partners to make government more efficient,” Comer said of Congress. Elon Musk, CEO of X and Tesla Motors, and Vivek Ramaswamy are currently heading up DOGE. “Looking forward to working together with Congress,” Ramaswamy said on social media of Greene’s appointment . “Proper oversight of agencies and public transparency are critical.” DOGE has made it a key part of its plan to address the national debt of $36 trillion. That is $273,000 owed per taxpayer. “This trend must be reversed, and we must balance the budget,” DOGE posted . For her part, Greene has promised to “drain the swamp,” stating that “nothing is off the table” when it comes to holding government agencies like the Pentagon accountable. “Our government should steward every single cent of your hard-earned money,” Greene said. “The DOGE subcommittee will expose the waste and bring truth and transparency to the American people.” Bureaucrats and independent contractors will also be on the chopping block, in what Greene called a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make real transformational change to government to benefit the American people.” “In the private sector, if you’re not doing a good job, you get fired,” she said on social media . “But for some reason, in government, bad employees – whether they’re failing to do the job they were hired to do or working in roles that are no longer needed – never get fired. This is incredibly unfair to the hard-working taxpayers of our country, and it’s about to change.” Recently, an audit of the IRS found that its employees and contractors owe millions in taxes, all while the agency warned thousands of taxpayers that they could face jail time. “The same unelected IRS government employees and contractors, who owe $50 million in unpaid taxes, would throw Americans in jail for not paying their taxes,” Greene said of the audit . “Time to hold them all accountable.” Greene also addressed Democrats' accusations that the subcommittee will go after programs like Social Security. “No, Senator Warren, we are not going to take away a senior’s Social Security. That’s a lie,” Greene responded on social media . “We are going to investigate all areas of the federal government like CFPB, an ‘independent’ agency inside the federal government. Beholden to no one. Ran by unelected bureaucrats.”
Cleaning your log burner glass is not only essential for aesthetic reasons, but also so that it can properly heat your home. All good quality stoves are manufactured with air-wash technology, meaning the glass stays very clear for long periods. That being said, even if you are burning good quality wood fuel at optimum temperatures, it is inevitable that the build-up of stains on the glass will occur. Using the vast array of glass cleaning products available it is relatively easy to clean your glass. However, this can set you back some money. To avoid spending anything or using any chemicals, one cleaning fan took to the Mrs Hinch Army Cleaning Tips Facebook page to share “incredible” results after taking on advice from her fellow group members. Amanda Clark shared pictures of her filthy log burner glass covered in crusty black and brown stains before sharing another which showed spotless results. So how did she tackle the task? She revealed that ash left behind from the previous fires and newspapers she picked up free was the secret. Amanda said: “You guys are amazing, thank you so much! Five minutes using ash and a few pages of the newspaper I got free from the tube made the stains wipe off incredibly well. Honestly, I wouldn’t use anything else now.” Many group members suggested Amanda use ash and newspaper when she first asked for advice. Tracey Lampert said: “I got told by my chimney sweep to use ash with newspaper.” Kirsty Pearse commented: “Use damp crumpled newspaper or a paper towel, dip it in ash and use this to clean wood stove glass. If the glass has a lot of buildup, try burning a couple of high-temperature fires in the wood stove before attempting to clean the glass.” Jane Clark wrote: “Get some newspaper and water. Wet the paper, dip it in the cold ashes and run over the glass. “Wipe off with kitchen paper or cloth works a treat. Make sure you are using the correct wood and this should not happen. Usually happens if the wood you burn has too much moisture in it.” Skyla Annette said: “Scrunched up newspaper dampened with water then dip it in some ash then rub your glass.” Even the experts at Ignite Stoves & Fires are fans of this hack. They said: “Rather than using the stove glass cleaning products you’ve purchased, simply use the wood ash within the stove to clean the glass! “Yes, that’s right the ash byproduct from burning wood in your stove can be used to clean the glass. “We’d heard about this trick and for a long time, doubted its effectiveness. However a few years ago when we tried it, we couldn’t believe how well it worked.”Photo: The Canadian Press FILE - The OpenAI logo is displayed on a cell phone in front of an image generated by ChatGPT's Dall-E text-to-image model, Dec. 8, 2023, in Boston. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer, File) A 7-year-old rivalry between tech leaders Elon Musk and Sam Altman over who should run OpenAI and prevent an artificial intelligence "dictatorship" is now heading to a federal judge as Musk seeks to halt the ChatGPT maker's ongoing shift into a for-profit company. Musk, an early OpenAI investor and board member, sued the artificial intelligence company earlier this year alleging it had betrayed its founding aims as a nonprofit research lab benefiting the public good rather than pursuing profits. Musk has since escalated the dispute, adding new claims and asking for a court order that would stop OpenAI’s plans to convert itself into a for-profit business more fully. The world's richest man, whose companies include Tesla, SpaceX and social media platform X, last year started his own rival AI company, xAI. Musk says it faces unfair competition from OpenAI and its close business partner Microsoft, which has supplied the huge computing resources needed to build AI systems such as ChatGPT. “OpenAI and Microsoft together exploiting Musk’s donations so they can build a for-profit monopoly, one now specifically targeting xAI, is just too much,” says Musk's filing that alleges the companies are violating the terms of Musk’s foundational contributions to the charity. OpenAI is filing a response Friday opposing Musk’s requested order, saying it would cripple OpenAI’s business and mission to the advantage of Musk and his own AI company. A hearing is set for January before U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland. At the heart of the dispute is a 2017 internal power struggle at the fledgling startup that led to Altman becoming OpenAI's CEO. Musk also sought to be CEO and in an email outlined a plan where he would “unequivocally have initial control of the company” but said that would be temporary. He grew frustrated after two other OpenAI co-founders said he would hold too much power as a major shareholder and chief executive if the startup succeeded in its goal to achieve better-than-human AI known as artificial general intelligence , or AGI. Musk has long voiced concerns about how advanced forms of AI could threaten humanity. “The current structure provides you with a path where you end up with unilateral absolute control over the AGI," said a 2017 email to Musk from co-founders Ilya Sutskever and Greg Brockman. “You stated that you don't want to control the final AGI, but during this negotiation, you've shown to us that absolute control is extremely important to you.” In the same email, titled “Honest Thoughts,” Sutskever and Brockman also voiced concerns about Altman's desire to be CEO and whether he was motivated by “political goals.” Altman eventually succeeded in becoming CEO, and has remained so except for a period last year when he was fired and then reinstated days later after the board that ousted him was replaced. OpenAI published the messages Friday in a blog post meant to show its side of the story, particularly Musk's early support for the idea of making OpenAI a for-profit business so it could raise money for the hardware and computer power that AI needs. It was Musk, through his wealth manager Jared Birchall, who first registered “Open Artificial Technologies Technologies, Inc.”, a public benefit corporation, in September 2017. Then came the “Honest Thoughts” email that Musk described as the “final straw.” “Either go do something on your own or continue with OpenAI as a nonprofit,” Musk wrote back. OpenAI said Musk later proposed merging the startup into Tesla before resigning as the co-chair of OpenAI's board in early 2018. Musk didn't immediately respond to emailed requests for comment sent to his companies Friday. Asked about his frayed relationship with Musk at a New York Times conference last week, Altman said he felt “tremendously sad” but also characterized Musk’s legal fight as one about business competition. “He’s a competitor and we’re doing well,” Altman said. He also said at the conference that he is “not that worried” about the Tesla CEO’s influence with President-elect Donald Trump. OpenAI said Friday that Altman plans to make a $1 million personal donation to Trump’s inauguration fund, joining a number of tech companies and executives who are working to improve their relationships with the incoming administration.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix is back for a second year, and so is Brad Pitt . The 60-year-old actor was spotted in Sin City not to watch the event but to continue filming his upcoming movie F1 , in which he’ll play veteran race car driver Sonny Hayes, Daily Mail reported . Pitt, a well-known Formula One fan, attended the event in Nevada last year where he appeared to be doing field research for the role. This time around, he was shooting a scene on a hotel balcony with his co-star Kerry Condon who will star as Kate. Damson Idris, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia, and Samson Kayo have also joined the cast. The highly anticipated movie is set to premiere next summer in June 2025. The flick is being directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, the same duo who worked on the remake of the navy drama Top Gun: Maverick . Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton is also serving as a consultant for the movie. “Filmed yesterday, and it’s coming out next year,” Bruckheimer told Entertainment Tonight during the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix . “It’ll be very exciting, we have Brad Pitt racing, we did some background filming and we’ll be back here next year.” Last month, Pitt attended the Mexico City Grand Prix to film additional scenes for the movie. Not only did he show up to the event, but he could be seen exiting a car on the Hermanos Rodríguez racetrack wearing the suit and helmet of the fictional APX GP team, the British publication reported. Filming began at Silverstone back in July 2023 when Pitt hit the track at the British Grand Prix . The motion picture has made it a point to shoot scenes in real-time during several international F1 races including the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. In order to capture all the high-speed racing action, Oscar-winning cinematographer Claudio Miranda teamed up with Sony to develop custom cameras that could be mounted onto the cars. Apple Studios released a teaser trailer for the film just before this year’s British Grand Prix. In the movie, Pitt’s character retires from the sport after suffering a crash but is thrusted back into action when he’s recruited by F1 team owner (Bardem) to mentor the rookie phenom Joshua Pearce (Idris). “I’m a little giddy right now, I’ve got to say,” Pitt told Sky Sports while at Silverstone. “It’s the best time of my life...The vibe is amazing, but just to get to be a part of it in this way, and get to tell our story...All the teams have opened their doors for us. Everyone has just been really, really amazing, that we can do this.

Insufficient gas and power supply, increased fuel prices and inflation have escalated production costs in Bangladesh, making doing business here harder, said top business leaders at a discussion yesterday. Though the industrial sector pays the highest utility tariffs, it has been getting less than half of its demand for gas. The energy sector was one of the pillars of criminalisation of the previous government, said Commerce Adviser Sheikh Bashir Uddin at a discussion titled "Ways of Mitigating Energy Crisis in the Industrial Sectors" organised by the Bangladesh Chamber of Industries (BCI). "I had to stand in the rain in front of the residence of the former state minister for power, energy and mineral resources [Nasrul Hamid] to get a gas connection to my industry with my own expenses," said Bashir, the managing director of AkijBashir Group, which has concerns in ceramics, glass, steel and polymers. Besides, Bashir said he had to pay a bribe of Tk 20 crore to the road authorities for digging up the road to lay the 40km gas pipeline. "That will not happen now. It's an opportunity for you [the business leaders]. Come to us with business proposals and solutions and not just problems -- we will sort those out unitedly," he added. In the first nine months of the year, about 200 factories have shut their operations and another 300 factories are on the way to shutting shop within the next year, said BCI President Anwar-Ul-Alam Chowdhury. The industries were established in Bangladesh on the basis of the availability of local gas and fast-learning labour. "Except those, everything else is expensive here -- the land, infrastructure, development, bank financing cost and speed money. But now, we have learned that we don't have gas or the prices are very high as well. An uncertain situation has emerged." Chowdhury went on to blame the foreign currency devaluation, liquidity crisis in the banking sector, lower imports of liquified natural gas, restrictions on the opening of letters of credit and a lack of good governance in the National Board of Revenue for the situation. The industries' demand for gas is about 1,040 million cubic feet a day (mmcfd) while they are getting around 500 mmcfd, said Ijaz Hossain, former dean of engineering at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), in his keynote paper. "It is very alarming that energy consumption has not increased in the last two years." Due to the expansion of the power grid, energy consumption in the domestic sector has increased, which implies the industrial sector has shrunk, he said. Because of high energy prices and supply disruption, the cost of production is getting higher, thus triggering inflation, causing industries to become defaulters and to go out of business, Hossain added. There are power cuts four to five times a day, said Md Shamsuzzaman, vice-president of the Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers & Exporters Association. "There are huge illegal connections in industrial areas, but the distribution companies failed to monitor those," he said. The government once encouraged building factories but now those are being shut down, said Sk Masadul Alam Masud of the Bangladesh Steel Manufacturers Association. Syed Nasim Manzur, president of the Leather Goods and Footwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association of Bangladesh, said they have not been able to run a gas generator in the Savar tannery estate. "The system loss in the gas sector is nothing but theft. There should be exemplary punishment for those who are involved in theft," he said. It was a common practice to get the public works department officials to have a relationship with the ministers or to bribe officials, said Fouzul Kabir Khan, adviser to the ministry of power, energy and mineral resources. "As a result, the money was invested in unnecessary projects. It's a waste of money," he said, adding that that will not happen during the tenure of the interim government. Khan said they have taken measures to reduce the energy cost, which includes onshore-offshore drilling programmes to increase the supply. The gas supply will remain the same until February next year and will increase from March, said Petrobangla Chairman Zanendra Nath Sarker. "It was imposed on me by the previous government's higher-ups to increase gas supply to the power sector instead of industries. But the industrial sector pays the highest price to us. That will not happen in the coming days." He demanded speedy approval of development project proposals for the gas sector from the planning division to increase the gas supply from local gas fields. Gas should be supplied proportionately to all the sectors, said Rezaul Karim, chairman of the Bangladesh Power Development Board.Non-Rechargeable Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries Market Outlook and Future Projections for 2030 11-23-2024 11:11 AM CET | Business, Economy, Finances, Banking & Insurance Press release from: Dhirtek Business Research and Consulting Non-Rechargeable Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries Market The non-rechargeable lithium thionyl chloride batteries market represents a dynamic and continually evolving landscape, shaped by changing consumer demands and technological advancements.

Christian Cueva celebrated his birthday on November 23 in a special way, accompanied by his partner, the singer Pamela Franco. During one of the cumbiambera presentations, the soccer player took the opportunity to start his celebration, in an event full of music and romance. Those attending Pamela’s concert could see how the footballer enjoyed his beloved’s songs, showing his support. Pamela Franco surprises Christian Cueva with a romantic message The most emotional moment of the night came when Pamela, while performing her popular song ‘Simply Friends’, looked at Christian Cueva and, before continuing with the next verse, surprised the audience with a sincere “I love you, my love. So affectionate he”. This gesture, full of complicity, was quickly captured by attendees and went viral on social networks. Furthermore, a song that marked the night was ‘El cervecero’, a song that Pamela Franco and Christian Cueva recently recorded together. Despite a legal conflict related to the copyright of the song, both managed to reach an agreement with the composer to continue performing it in their presentations, which allowed them to share this song at their special celebration. Christian Cueva and Pamela Franco got permission to sing ‘El Cervecero’ After weeks of uncertainty, Pamela Franco and Christian Cueva managed to obtain authorization to sing ‘El cervecero’. The agreement was made official through a document signed by the author, José María Yzazaga. The text, spread on the platform Instarándula states: “I, José María Yzazaga Quispe (...) in full use of my mental faculties, authorize Pamela Cristle Franco Viera (...) to perform it in shows and musical productions that I see fit, as well as in audio and video, a song of my authorship whose title is ‘Cervecero’ (...)”. With this permission, Cave and Franco They will be able to include the song in live performances and other musical projects, thus consolidating their success. However, it has not been confirmed whether the composer’s initial demand, who had requested compensation of 200,000 soles due to previous use of the theme. Join our entertainment channelOpenAI's legal battle with Elon Musk reveals internal turmoil over avoiding AI 'dictatorship'TOPEKA — On Nov. 19, a Republican-led interim committee of the Kansas Legislature and out-of-state deregulation lobbyists endorsed the introduction of a new bill allowing exemption of businesses from state laws, rules or regulations hindering delivery of products or services. Under the proposal, Kansas would follow Arizona, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri by creating an innovation “sandbox” for businesses across the spectrum to operate for two or more years under a lighter regulatory framework. A state agency or official would be responsible for approving applications for exemptions. Core objectives would include giving businesses more maneuvering space, attracting entrepreneurial investment and identifying regulatory barriers to profitability. “A sandbox invites the business community to the table to highlight troublesome rules and regulations, prove they’re not working as intended and, as a result, the state is better welcoming to the innovations of tomorrow,” said Rees Empey of the Utah libertarian think tank Libertas Institute. “It’s a living and breathing approach to regulatory reform that possesses safeguards to protect consumers and the environment.” Americans for Prosperity policy analyst James Czerniawski, who previously worked for Libertas Institute, said government regulations often forced businesses to fit a square peg in a round hole. “Many regulations that are currently on the books were designed decades ago, and do not necessarily account for the new and emerging industries,” he told legislators. “It is fair to ask how many companies are crushed before they even get off the ground because regulations got in the way.” Only advocates of bringing the sandbox model to Kansas offered testimony to the interim committee. During the 2024 legislative session, however, the Kansas Sierra Club and Kansas State Board of Healing Arts raised objections to the concept. ‘Closer to a solution’ In the 2024 session, the Republicans’ sandbox bill died in the Kansas House due to questions about justification, and ramifications of reform. Issues were raised about the constitutionality of a program supervised by the state’s attorney general. Objections were made by health care regulators and environmentalists. There were questions about unfairness of state government picking which businesses could sidestep regulations. “It didn’t go anywhere,” said Rep. Sean Tarwater, a Stilwell Republican who chairs the House commerce committee. “There was a lot of confusion around that bill. I feel like we’re getting much closer to a solution.” Tarwater embraced the interim House and Senate committee’s recommendation to revamp the stalled bill and press ahead in the 2025 session. Instead of an industry-specific approach tied to insurance, technology or banking, the legislation wouldn’t exclude any type of business from Kansas’ sandbox. It didn’t make sense to forbid certain businesses from applying, he said. Wichita Democratic Rep. John Carmichael, among members of the committee opposed to the sandbox, said it was alarming the Republican majority was intent on creating two classes of businesses — those with regulatory exemptions and those without. “Do you find anything objectionable that under this scheme some businesses are subject to regulation and others aren’t?” Carmichael said. “Is that a fair and level playing field?” Dane Ishihara, director of the Utah Office of Regulatory Relief, told legislators that Utah’s system generally required at least two business applicants to step forward and apply for an exemption. If there was a single applicant, he said, the state was likely to deny the application unless it was the only player in that piece of the state’s economy. The Kobach factor In 2024, the Kansas House considered a bill placing Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach in charge of a division of regulatory overreach in which laws, regulations or rules could be suspended up to 24 months for the benefit of select businesses. The attorney general’s division also would be responsible for identifying regulations ripe for repeal by the Legislature and governor. Rep. Rui Xu, a Westwood Democrat on the interim committee, said he saw potential in state regulatory reform. However, the idea of placing Kobach in charge would alarm his constituents. “It’s harder to say, especially in my district, that ‘Oh, Kris Kobach has an agency that’ll review and he’ll make sure it’s okay.’ That’s a hard sell for my district,” Xu said. Robert Hutchison, deputy attorney general in the civil rights division of Kobach’s office, said the GOP attorney general was supportive of the deregulation initiative. He said Kobach didn’t want responsibility for the program because it could raise conflicts of interest. The attorney general’s office currently reviews about 1,000 state regulatory changes annually and provides lawyers who serve as general counsel to as many as 30 state government entities. It would be a problem for a member of Kobach’s staff to consult with a business fighting for a waiver from a state agency while another member of the attorney general’s staff represented the targeted agency. Hutchison said legislation placing the program within the attorney general would need to include “significant firewalling” provisions. At the suggestion of Wichita GOP Sen. Renee Erickson, the interim committee agreed to seek from the attorney general a nonbinding legal opinion about constitutionality of the sandbox model. She said the opinion should end speculation about the legal framework. “We’ve done a cursory review and didn’t initially identify any constitutional issues,” Hutchison said. Under last session’s bill, an 11-person advisory council would be appointed by Republican politicians to make recommendations on exemptions. That bill required Kobach to appoint the regulatory office’s director. That individual would appoint six members with business backgrounds and three from government to the council. The Kansas House and Kansas Senate leadership would fill the other two slots, leaving no voice for Democrats. Applications would be exempt from disclosure under the Kansas Open Records Act and deliberations of the advisory council would be conducted behind closed doors beyond reach of the Kansas Open Meetings Act.

A post shared by Gleyber Torres (@gleyberdavid) Remembering the Debut In a video posted to their Instagram, Topps asked Aaron Judge to name the lineup from his major league debut, and he showed that, well, he’s the Captain for the reason. Judge remembered every player from that day’s lineup with little difficulty, struggling only on the day’s DH (an admittedly embarrassing one to struggle on, since it was The Kraken during his insane 2016 rookie campaign, Gary Sánchez).

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks climbed Thursday after market superstar Nvidia and another round of companies said they’re making even fatter profits than expected. The S&P 500 pulled 0.5% higher after flipping between gains and losses several times during the day. Banks, smaller companies and other areas of the stock market that tend to do best when the economy is strong helped lead the way, while bitcoin briefly broke above $99,000. Crude oil, meanwhile, continued to rise. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 461 points, or 1.1%, and the Nasdaq composite edged up by less than 0.1%. Nvidia rose just 0.5% after beating analysts’ estimates for profit and revenue yet again, but it was still the strongest force pulling the S&P 500 upward. It also gave a forecast for revenue in the current quarter that topped most analysts’ expectations due to voracious demand for its chips used in artificial-intelligence technology. Its stock initially sank in afterhours trading Wednesday following the release of the results. Some investors said the market might have been looking for Nvidia’s revenue forecast to surpass expectations by even more. But its stock recovered in premarket trading Thursday, and Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said it was another “flawless” profit report provided by Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang, whom Ives calls “the Godfather of AI.” The stock meandered through Thursday as well, dragging the S&P 500 and other indexes back and forth. How Nvidia’s stock performs has more impact than any other because it’s grown into Wall Street’s most valuable company at roughly $3.6 trillion. The frenzy around AI is sweeping up other stocks, and Snowflake jumped 32.7% after reporting stronger results for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The company, whose platform helps customers get a better view of all their silos of data and use AI, also reported stronger revenue growth than expected. BJ’S Wholesale Club rose 8.3% after likewise delivering a bigger profit than expected. That may help calm worries about how resilient U.S. shoppers can remain, given high prices across the economy and still-high interest rates. A day earlier, Target tumbled after reporting sluggish sales in the latest quarter and giving a dour forecast for the holiday shopping season. It followed Walmart , which gave a much more encouraging outlook. Nearly 90% of the stocks in the S&P 500 ended up rising Thursday, and the gains were even bigger among smaller companies. The Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks jumped a market-leading 1.7%. Google’s parent company, Alphabet, helped keep indexes in check. It fell 4.7% after U.S. regulators asked a judge to break up the tech giant by forcing it to sell its industry-leading Chrome web browser. In a 23-page document filed late Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice called for sweeping punishments that would include restrictions preventing Android from favoring its own search engine. Regulators stopped short of demanding Google sell Android but left the door open to it if the company’s oversight committee continues to see evidence of misconduct. All told, the S&P 500 rose 31.60 points to 5,948.71. The Dow jumped 461.88 to 43,870.35, and the Nasdaq composite added 6.28 to 18,972.42. In the crypto market, bitcoin eclipsed $99,000 for the first time before pulling back toward $98,000, according to CoinDesk. It’s more than doubled so far this year, and its climb has accelerated since Election Day. President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to make the country “the crypto capital of the planet” and create a “strategic reserve” of bitcoin. Bitcoin got a further boost after Gary Gensler, the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, said Thursday he would step down in January . Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. Bitcoin and related investment have a notorious history of big price swings in both directions. MicroStrategy, a company that’s been raising cash expressly to buy bitcoin, saw an early Thursday gain of 14.6% for its stock quickly disappear. It finished the day with a loss of 16.2%. In the oil market, a barrel of benchmark U.S. crude rose 2% to bring its gain for the week to 4.8%. Brent crude, the international standard, climbed 1.8%. Oil has been rising amid escalations in the Russia-Ukraine war. In stock markets abroad, shares of India’s Adani Enterprises plunged 22.6% Thursday after the U.S. charged founder Gautam Adani in a federal indictment with securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud. The businessman and one of the world’s richest people is accused of concealing that his company’s huge solar energy project on the subcontinent was being facilitated by an alleged bribery scheme. Stock indexes elsewhere in Asia and Europe were mixed. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury inched up to 4.43% from 4.41% late Wednesday following some mixed reports on the U.S. economy. One said fewer U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week in the latest signal that the job market remains solid. Another report, though, said manufacturing in the mid-Atlantic region unexpectedly shrank. Sales of previously occupied homes, meanwhile, strengthened last month by more than expected.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — The first woman to command Canada's military called out a U.S. senator on Saturday for questioning the role of women in combat. Gen. Jennie Carignan responded to comments made by Idaho Republican Sen. Jim Risch , the ranking member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who was asked on Friday whether President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth , should retract comments that he believes men and women should not serve together in combat units . “I think it’s delusional for anybody to not agree that women in combat creates certain unique situations that have to be dealt with. I think the jury’s still out on how to do that," Risch said during a panel session at the Halifax International Security Forum on Friday. Carignan, Canada's chief of defense staff and the first woman to command the armed forces of any Group of 20 or Group of Seven country, took issue with those remarks during a panel session on Saturday. "If you’ll allow me, I would first like maybe to respond to Senator Risch’s statement yesterday about women in combat because I wouldn’t want anyone to leave this forum with this idea that women are a distraction to defense and national security," Carignan said. “After 39 years of career as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations across the world, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify the contribution of women to their defense and to their service, in their country. I wouldn’t want anyone to leave this forum with this idea that this is that it is some kind of social experiment.” Carignan said women have participating in combat for hundreds of years but have never been recognized for fighting for their country. She noted the women military personnel in the room. “All the women sitting here in uniform, stepping in, and deciding to get into harm’s way and fight for their country, need to be recognized for doing so," she said. “So again, this is the distraction, not the women themselves." Carignan received a standing ovation at the forum, which attracts defense and security officials from Western democracies. Hegseth has reignited a debate that many thought had been long settled: Should women be allowed to serve their country by fighting on the front lines? The former Fox News commentator made it clear, in his own book and in interviews, that he believes men and women should not serve together in combat units . If Hegseth is confirmed by the Senate, he could try to end the Pentagon’s nearly decade-old practice of making all combat jobs open to women. Hegseth’s remarks have generated a barrage of praise and condemnation. Carignan was promoted to the rank of general during the change-of-command ceremony this past summer, after being chosen by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government to become Canada’s first female defense chief. Carignan is no stranger to firsts. She was also the first woman to command a combat unit in the Canadian military, and her career has included deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and Syria. For the last three years, she has been the chief of professional conduct and culture, a job created as a result of the sexual misconduct scandal in 2021. Her appointment this year comes as Canada continues to face criticism from NATO allies for not spending 2% of its gross domestic product on defense. The Canadian government recently said that it would reach its NATO commitment by 2032. Risch said Friday Trump would laugh at Canada’s current military spending plans and said the country must do more.
