Western Michigan beats Eastern Michigan 26-18 to become bowl eligibleWoman, 95, lies on freezing pavement with broken hip for five hours as ambulance chiefs say she 'is not a priority'Opinion editor’s note: Strib Voices publishes a mix of commentary online and in print each day. To contribute, click here . ••• Republicans already wield the gavel in the House. Soon, the Senate will also be led by the GOP. And with incoming President-elect Donald Trump and six of nine justices on the Supreme Court selected by GOP presidents, by Inauguration Day the federal government will be under full Republican control. But full control might not necessarily mean in control, as recently evidenced by brinkmanship budget negotiations between Capitol Hill and Mar-a-Lago (the current White House occupant, President Joe Biden, played a minor role in the melodrama that almost led to a meltdown). While the government did not shut down, Democrats were depended on for the third and final vote, taken just hours before the deadline, demonstrating the differences between governing and campaigning — something that veteran leaders like Trump, House Majority Leader Mike Johnson, and incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune should already know. But knowledge and wisdom are distinct. And Trump’s instinct for chaos instead of cohesion soon took precedence over presidential leadership. He scuttled earlier versions of the bill by trashing it on Truth Social, which he owns, and allowing Elon Musk, whose early emergence as the most prominent presidential influencer is already problematic, to trash it (often with immediately identifiable inaccuracies) on X, the social network he owns. A president-elect taking such a leading role in a congressional debate before taking office is clearly “unusual,” said Kathryn Pearson , a University of Minnesota associate professor of political science. Regarding Musk, “What’s happening now is unprecedented and alarming, because of course Musk was not elected by the voters.” The intervention did not serve Trump, Congress or, most profoundly, the country. And the worst may be yet to come. “A faction within the Republican Party is going to make governing difficult for a Republican speaker, even in the context of unified party control,” said Pearson. “It’s going to be particularly challenging on budget issues; tax cuts will be easier for Republicans than passing appropriation bills, continuing resolutions and increasing the debt limit.” And yet the very same tax cuts are likely to deepen the deficit and hasten the need to raise the debt ceiling yet again, something that about three dozen Republican representatives refused to do despite Trump’s popularity and public prodding. Don’t look for Democrats to rescue Republicans again. Which means that Johnson’s already tenuous, albeit tenacious, hold on the House may not last. Previous Speakers Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan and John Boehner were similarly squeezed, Pearson said, adding that while “the Republican Party is Trump’s party to a much greater extent than it was the first time he was elected,” that “still doesn’t mean that they were willing to vote with a bipartisan coalition to pass a continuing resolution.” Accordingly, what’s needed politically and fiscally isn’t just a continuing resolution but resolve to arrive at a permanent solution. One was proposed in the previous Congress: Establishing a bipartisan, bicameral commission on fiscal reform and responsibility. Unfortunately, the Fiscal Commission Act of 2023 languished in the House, just as the Fiscal Stability Act of 2023 did in the Senate. Both were based on previous successful models, including the mid-1980s Greenspan Commission tasked to stabilize Social Security, the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission in 2005 to right-size resources in the Defense Department, and even the ill-fated but well-intentioned National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reforms, known as Simpson-Bowles, in 2010. Congress may not be ready. But the people they represent just might be, according to a recently released poll from the nonpartisan Peterson Foundation , whose mission is “to increase public awareness of the nature and urgency of the key fiscal challenges threatening America’s future and to accelerate action on them.” Using both a Republican and Democratic polling firm, the foundation found that 55% of voters “oppose extending expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) if it would add to the debt.” That majority jumps to 64% after respondents heard that “borrowing for tax cuts could contribute to higher inflation.” Other poll data demonstrate more public resolve than is commonly considered, including 92% of Republicans and 86% of Democrats urging Trump and Congress “to begin addressing the $36 trillion and rising national debt in the first 100 days of the new administration.” For his part, Trump seemed more focused on the current administration, writing amid the wrangling that “If there is going to be a shutdown of government, let it begin now, under the Biden administration, not after January 20th, under ‘TRUMP.’ This is a Biden problem to solve, but if Republicans can help solve it, they will!” Actually, and ultimately, the debt, which was created under Democratic and Republican governance, is an American problem to solve. And while Democrats can and should play a constructive role, Republicans will soon have a complete governing majority. In other words, the gavel — which is shaped like a hammer, a tool that can be used to build or destroy. Now is the time to use that gavel to end the fiscal and political destruction and instead build an enduring solution to America’s unsustainable debt.
Advertising and marketing conglomerate Omnicom Group is in advanced talks to acquire Interpublic Group in an all-stock deal that is likely to value Interpublic at between $13 billion and $14 billion, excluding debt, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday. A transaction, would mark the biggest deal to date on Madison Avenue, could be announced as early as this week, the report said, adding that the exact terms of the deal being discussed could not be learned. Omnicom and Interpublic didn’t immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment outside of business hours. New York-based Omnicom competes with the Interpublic Group of Companies and UK’s WPP, and is one of the world’s biggest integrated advertising and communications firms with more than 5,000 customers. Interpublic, which has clients in sectors ranging from healthcare to retail, had a market value of around $10.9 billion as of Friday and its shares have fallen 10% year to date to $29.48.NoneThe new, 12-team College Football Playoff brings with it a promise to be bigger, more exciting, more lucrative. Perfect or 100% fair? Well, nobody ever believed that. The first expanded playoff bracket unveiled Sunday left a presumably deserving Alabama team on the sideline in favor of an SMU squad with a better record after playing a schedule that was not as difficult. It ranked undefeated Oregon first but set up a possible rematch against Ohio State, the team that came closest to beating the Ducks this year. It treated underdog Boise State like a favorite and banged-up Georgia like a world beater at No. 2. It gave Ohio State home-field advantage against Tennessee for reasons it would take a supercomputer to figure out. It gave the sport the multiweek tournament it has longed for, but also ensured there will be plenty to grouse about between now and when the trophy is handed out on Jan. 20 after what will easily be the longest college football season in history. All of it, thankfully, will be sorted out on the field starting with first-round games on campuses Dec. 20 and 21, then over three succeeding rounds that will wind their way through traditional bowl sites. Maybe Oregon coach Dan Lanning, whose undefeated Ducks are the favorite to win it all, put it best when he offered: "Winning a national championship is not supposed to be easy.” Neither, it turns out, is figuring out who should play for it. SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings passes the ball in the first half of the ACC championship game against Clemson on Saturday in Charlotte, N.C. The Big Ten will lead the way with four teams in the tournament, followed by the SEC with three and the ACC with two. The lasting memory from the inaugural bracket will involve the decision that handed the ACC that second bid. Alabama of the SEC didn't play Saturday. SMU of the ACC did. The Mustangs fell behind by three touchdowns to Clemson before coming back to tie. But they ultimately lost 34-31 on a 56-yard field goal as time expired. “We were on pins and needles,” SMU coach Rhett Lashley said. “Until we saw the name ‘SMU’ up there, we were hanging on the edge. We're really, really happy and thankful to the committee for rewarding our guys for their total body of work." The Mustangs only had two losses, compared to three for the Crimson Tide. Even though SMU's schedule wasn't nearly as tough, the committee was impressed by the way the Mustangs came back against Clemson. “We just felt, in this particular case, SMU had the nod above Alabama,” said Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel, the chairman of the selection committee. “But it’s no disrespect to Alabama’s strength of schedule. We looked at the entire body of work for both teams.” Oregon offensive lineman Iapani Laloulu celebrates after winning the Big Ten championship game against Penn State on Saturday in Indianapolis. Georgia, the SEC champion, was seeded second; Boise State, the Mountain West champion, earned the third seed; and Big 12 titlist Arizona State got the fourth seed and the fourth and final first-round bye. All will play in quarterfinals at bowl games on Dec. 31-Jan. 1. Clemson stole a bid and the 12th seed with its crazy win over SMU, the result that ultimately cost Alabama a spot in the field. The Tigers moved to No. 16 in the rankings, but got in as the fifth-best conference winner. Automatic byes and bids made the bracket strange The conference commissioners' idea to give conference champions preferable treatment in this first iteration of the 12-team playoff could be up for reconsideration after this season. The committee actually ranked Boise State, the Mountain West Champion, at No. 9 and Big 12 champion Arizona State at No. 12, but both get to skip the first round. Another CFP guideline: There’s no reseeding of teams after each round, which means no break for Oregon. The top-seeded Ducks will face the winner of Tennessee-Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Oregon beat Ohio State 32-31 earlier this year in one of the season’s best games. Texas linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. hits Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton during the second half of the SEC championship game on Saturday in Atlanta. No. 12 Clemson at No. 5 Texas, Dec. 21: Clemson is riding high after the SMU upset, while Texas is 0-2 against Georgia and 11-0 vs. everyone else this season. The winner faces ... Arizona State in the Peach Bowl. Huh? No. 11 SMU at No. 6 Penn State, Dec. 21: The biggest knock against the Mustangs was that they didn't play any big boys with that 60th-ranked strength of schedule. Well, now they get to. The winner faces ... Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. Yes, SMU vs. Boise was the quarterfinal we all expected. No. 10 Indiana at No. 7 Notre Dame, Dec. 20: Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti thought his team deserved a home game. Well, not quite but close. The winner gets ... Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. The Bulldogs got the No. 2 seed despite a throwing-arm injury to QB Carson Beck. But what else was the committee supposed to do? No. 9 Tennessee at No. 8 Ohio State, Dec. 21: The Buckeyes (losses to Oregon, Michigan) got home field over the Volunteers (losses to Arkansas, Georgia) in a matchup of programs with two of the biggest stadiums in football. The winner faces ... Oregon in the Rose Bowl. Feels like that matchup should come in the semifinals or later.

After 12 incredible years serving the people of California’s 21st Senate District and the 38th Assembly District, the time has come for me to say farewell as your state senator. Due to term limits, I’ll be leaving the state Legislature, marking the end of a chapter I will forever cherish. This moment is bittersweet: I’m filled with gratitude for the honor to serve, yet nostalgic for the work left to do. As I reflect on my journey, I’m reminded of how blessed I’ve been to represent this remarkable community. When I first took the oath of office, I made a commitment to represent our community with integrity, to stand up for our values, and to always put people above politics. It’s been a challenging but deeply rewarding path, and every day, I felt privileged to advocate for the issues that matter to the residents of the Santa Clarita Valley and beyond. Together, we’ve tackled big challenges and celebrated great achievements. My commitment to supporting those who are most vulnerable was a guiding principle throughout my time in office. From advocating for foster youth and championing the rights of disabled individuals to working for stronger protections for animals, I made it a priority to ensure every voice was heard, including those who often go unheard. Whether fighting for better access to resources for disabled individuals, addressing the unique needs of children in the foster care system, or working to strengthen animal rights, I was driven by the belief that compassion and justice must be at the heart of public policy. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to my family for the sacrifices they made to allow me to do this work. My wife, Vanessa, has been my rock, and our children have stood by us, despite the long hours, missed family gatherings, and countless weekends I spent on the road rather than at home. Public service is not a solo journey; it requires the understanding and support of loved ones who believe in the mission as much as you do. Without them, none of this would have been possible. Vanessa and our family have endured their share of sacrifices, but their faith in me and in the cause we were working for sustained me in the toughest moments. I am so grateful for their love, patience, and understanding. To the readers of The Signal, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for placing your trust in me. Representing you was the greatest honor of my life, and I am forever humbled by the confidence you placed in me. I hope I’ve lived up to the responsibilities you entrusted to me and that my work has made a meaningful difference in our community. I also want to thank The Signal’s owners and staff for their dedication to fair reporting and community service. Our democracy depends on a free and fair press, and in a time when news is often polarized, The Signal has remained a steadfast beacon of integrity. The Signal has kept our community informed, engaged, and connected to one another, and for that, we all owe them our gratitude. As I move on from this role, I do so with immense pride in what we accomplished together. We secured funding for vital projects, championed educational improvements, and created a new water agency, SCV Water. We addressed environmental issues and worked to bring jobs to the district through passage of the Film & TV Tax Credit and the Aerospace Tax Credit. Along the way, we faced obstacles, but with determination and the support of this community, we made a difference. There are, of course, many issues that still need attention, and I leave knowing that the work continues. I am so pleased Senator-elect Suzette Valladares will be our new senator. She will be an incredible advocate for our community. Our state and nation face unique challenges, but I am optimistic about the future. I believe that the spirit of the Santa Clarita Valley — a spirit of resilience, generosity, and collaboration — will continue to inspire leaders who will carry on the work of building a brighter future for us all. As I step back from public office, I do so with a deep and abiding love for this community. No matter where I am in the world, Santa Clarita Valley will always be home. Though I may no longer hold a title, I’ll always be your neighbor and your friend. Thank you for this incredible journey and for allowing me the honor of serving you. I am profoundly grateful for your trust, support, and friendship over these many years. Sen. Scott Wilk represents the 21st Senate District, which includes the Antelope, Santa Clarita and Victor valleys. “Right Here, Right Now” appears Saturdays and rotates among local Republicans.Jimmy Carter had the longest post-presidency of anyone to hold the office, and one of the most active. Here is a look back at his life. 1924 — Jimmy Carter was born on Oct. 1 to Earl and Lillian Carter in the small town of Plains, Georgia. 1928 — Earl Carter bought a 350-acre farm 3 miles from Plains in the tiny community of Archery. The Carter family lived in a house on the farm without running water or electricity. 1941 — He graduated from Plains High School and enrolled at Georgia Southwestern College in Americus. 1942 — He transferred to Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. 1943 — Carter’s boyhood dream of being in the Navy becomes a reality as he is appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. 1946 — He received his naval commission and on July 7 married Rosalynn Smith of Plains. They moved to Norfolk, Virginia. 1946-1952 — Carter’s three sons are born, Jack in 1947, Chip in 1950 and Jeff in 1952. 1962-66 — Carter is elected to the Georgia State Senate and serves two terms. 1953 — Carter’s father died and he cut his naval career short to save the family farm. Due to a limited income, Jimmy, Rosalynn and their three sons moved into Public Housing Apartment 9A in Plains. 1966 — He ran for governor, but lost. 1967 — Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter’s fourth child, Amy, is born. 1971 — He ran for governor again and won the election, becoming Georgia’s 76th governor on Jan. 12. 1974 — Carter announced his candidacy for president. 1976 — Carter was elected 39th president on Nov. 2, narrowly defeating incumbent Gerald Ford. 1978 — U.S. and the Peoples’ Republic of China establish full diplomatic relations. President Carter negotiates and mediates an accord between Egypt and Israel at Camp David. 1979 — The Department of Education is formed. Iranian radicals overrun the U.S. Embassy and seize American hostages. The Strategic Arms Limitations Treaty is signed. 1980 — On March 21, Carter announces that the U.S. will boycott the Olympic Games scheduled in Moscow. A rescue attempt to get American hostages out of Iran is unsuccessful. Carter was defeated in his bid for a second term as president by Ronald Reagan in November. 1981 — President Carter continues to negotiate the release of the American hostages in Iran. Minutes before his term as president is over, the hostages are released. 1982 — Carter became a distinguished professor at Emory University in Atlanta, and founded The Carter Center. The nonpartisan and nonprofit center addresses national and international issues of public policy. 1984 — Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter volunteer one week a year for Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that helps needy people in the United States and in other countries renovate and build homes, until 2020. He also taught Sunday school in the Maranatha Baptist Church of Plains from the mid-’80s until 2020. 2002 — Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. 2015 — Carter announced in August he had been diagnosed with melanoma that spread to his brain. 2016 — He said in March that he no longer needed cancer treatment. 2024 — Carter dies at 100 years old.
