Trump hasn't even started yet and his new cabinet is fast collapsing. But, warns ANDREW NEIL, the biggest (and inevitable) resignations are still to come...TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Shaquil Barrett is rejoining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs signed the two-time Super Bowl champion on Saturday, while also announcing safety Jordan Whitehead was activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s home game against the Carolina Panthers. Barrett spent five seasons with Tampa Bay from 2019 to 2023. He led the NFL with a franchise-record 19 1-2 sacks in his first year with the Bucs, then helped the team win its second Super Bowl title the following season. In all, Barrett started 70 games with Tampa Bay, amassing 45 sacks, 15 forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and three interceptions. He was released last winter in a salary cap move, signed a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins in free agency, then abruptly announced his retirement on social media before the start of training camp in July. Barrett, who also won a Super Bowl during a four-season stint with the Denver Broncos, decided to unretire last month. He signed with the Bucs after clearing waivers earlier in the week. Whitehead has missed the past four games with a pectoral injury. His return comes of the heels of the Bucs placing safety Christian Izien on IR with a pectoral injury. On Saturday, the Bucs also activated rookie wide receiver Kameron Johnson from IR and elevated punter Jack Browning to the active roster from the practice squad. NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
Soup often comes to mind when summer gives way to sweater weather. It’s delicious, usually pretty easy to make, works well with whatever is lingering in your fridge and/or pantry, and warms both the body and soul as soon as a spoonful touches your lips. Remember how a big bowl of Campbell’s Chicken Noodle helped chase away a head cold when you convinced your mom or dad you were really, really sick and needed to take the day off from school? Such is the magic of soup. There’s another reason soup strikes a chord with so many home cooks. Even though inflation is easing, going to the grocery store can still be a gut punch. So any way we can get a good meal onto the table and not break the budget is a good thing. Soup is economical because it lends itself to cheaper cuts of meat and simple ingredients such as canned beans and dried noodles, no-nonsense veggies like carrots and cabbage and spices that most people already have in their spice rack. This warm and filling wonton soup that headlines our latest installment of “Dinner for Two” is a pretty good example. Honestly, it probably takes longer to shop for all the ingredients than it does to stir a pot together — about 20 minutes — though you can let it simmer longer if you’re not in a rush and want to deepen the flavor. And except for the (optional) white miso paste in the broth, it won’t have you running down any fancy ingredients. This soup requires only boxed broth, some everyday greens, carrots and a bag of Trader Joe’s Chicken Cilantro Mini Wontons, which was my biggest purchase. Total cost: $10.45 for two (and more likely three) generous servings. I used the whole 12-ounce, $3.49 bag in the soup, which is technically four servings instead of two, so it would have cost even less if I hadn’t been such a fool for dumplings and added half the bag. (Sorry, but I really like them, especially when they’re so cute!) Both the appetizer — a spicy cold cucumber salad — and the maple-kissed baked pears I made for dessert were even more economical. The salad cost just $2.21, and the pears $2.30 — just a little more than $1 per person per course. Once again, I was able to cut down on costs by using ingredients I already had on hand such as the honey and chili crisp used to give the cucumbers their sweet and spicy kick and the vanilla and cinnamon that sweetens the dessert. I also just happened to have some shiitake mushrooms in my fridge leftover from another dish that I happily threw into the pot so they wouldn’t go to waste. But that’s the thing with this particular soup recipe. It’s completely adaptable to personal taste and what you have in your kitchen. Total cost for the entire meal, which had leftovers: $14.46, or 54 cents under my $15 budget. Bon appétit! Spicy Cucumber Salad Serves 2 This recipe is so easy, and starts the meal off with a pleasant crunch. I added chili crisp because I always have it on hand and I can’t get enough of its spicy, umami flavor. But you could substitute soy sauce or leave it out altogether. INGREDIENTS: 6 mini cucumbers 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt 21⁄2 tablespoon rice vinegar 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 1 tablespoon chili crisp or garlic chili sauce, optional DIRECTIONS: Slice cucumbers into bite-sized disks and place in a large bowl. Toss with salt and set aside while you make dressing. In a small bowl, stir together rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil and chili crisp or chili sauce, if using. Strain the cucumbers (do not rinse) and place in a large bowl Pour dressing over cucumbers and toss to combine. — Gretchen McKay, Post-Gazette Dumpling Soup Serves 2 Soup is often an afterthought, a way to use up any stray veggies in your refrigerator crisper. But it also makes a great main dish, especially if you add a few (or a lot) meat-stuffed dumplings. The star that makes this dish so filling is Trader Joe’s Chicken Cilantro Mini Wontons, which are a budget buy at $3.49 for a 12-ounce package. The fragrant vegetable broth is flavored with fresh ginger and ground turmeric, two spices that don’t just add depth, but are also are great for chasing away colds. You may not want to buy white miso paste, a fermented paste made from rice, barley and soybeans that is on the expensive side (you’ll find it in the Asian section of most larger grocery stores). You can substitute a little soy sauce instead. Even a packet that comes with takeout Chinese is enough to add some umami flavor. Baby bok choy (a type of Chinese cabbage) and broccoli florets provide a healthy serving of greens. INGREDIENTS: — Kosher salt 1 tablespoon sesame oil 4 shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced 1 (2-inch) piece ginger, finely minced 2 garlic cloves, finely minced 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 32 ounces vegetable stock — Salt 2 medium carrots, julienned 2 tablespoon white miso paste or 1 tablespoon soy sauce 12- ounce bag frozen dumplings (not thawed) 1 baby bok choy, trimmed and each cut into 4 pieces through the stem, or a handful of fresh spinach — Handful broccoli florets — Handful of cilantro or chopped scallions, for serving DIRECTIONS: Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add ginger and garlic. Stir and cook for 30 seconds, until aromatic. Add turmeric and stir for 15 seconds, until fragrant. Pour vegetable stock into the pot and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Add julienned carrots, cover and cook for 8-10 minutes on medium heat to allow flavors to meld. Remove the lid and add miso paste, stirring constantly until it is dissolved. Taste, and season with more salt, if needed. Increase the heat to medium-high, and carefully drop the dumplings into the broth. When they float to the top, add baby bok choy and broccoli, and cook for about 2 minutes, just until the broccoli is crisp-tender. Ladle the broth, dumplings, baby bok choy and broccoli into bowls. To serve, top with cilantro or chopped scallions. — adapted from nyt.com Maple Baked Pears Pears are in season throughout fall, and are as easy to cook with as apples. In this simple recipe, they’re halved, scooped and then drizzled with maple syrup for a quick bake in the oven. My budget didn’t allow for a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but the pears were delicious without. INGREDIENTS: 2 large pears, ripe but still slightly firm — Pinch ground cinnamon 1⁄4 cup pure maple syrup — Dash of pure vanilla extract DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Cut pears in half. (Don’t worry about peeling.) Using a melon baller or spoon, scoop out the core and seeds. Arrange pears, facing up, on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with a dusting of cinnamon. Whisk together maple syrup and vanilla extract. Drizzle over the tops of the pears. Bake uncovered until the fruit is soft and lightly browned on the edges, around 25-30 minutes. (Firmer pears will take a little longer.) Remove from the oven. Serve warm with granola and yogurt, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired. — Gretchen McKayA look at the key moments, players and plays from the Nevada Wolf Pack men's basketball team's 66-63 loss to the Wyoming Cowboys on Saturday afternoon at Laramie, Wyo ... KEY NEVADA RUN The Wolf Pack only mustered enough consistency on Saturday to have one meaningful run. The Pack outscored the Cowboys 8-0 over a four-minute stretch to turn a 23-16 deficit with 4:34 left in the first half into a 24-23 lead with 27 seconds left before the break. A 3-pointer by Xavier DuSell started the run and a jumper by Kobe Sanders capped it off. But even that mini-Pack run was sprinkled with missteps and mistakes as Nick Davidson and Tyler Rolison turned over the ball and Tre Coleman missed a free throw and a layup. KEY WYOMING RUNS Wyoming, too, struggled to play solid basketball for more than brief moments on their own court. The Cowboys did go on a 9-0 run to turn a 9-8 deficit with 12:49 left in the first half into a 17-9 lead with 9:56 to go. An 8-0 Wyoming run midway through the second half turned a 36-33 Wolf Pack lead with 14:31 to play into a 41-36 Wyoming lead with 12:12 to go. Neither team led by more than three over the final 10 minutes of the game. KEY COACHING DECISION Nevada coach Steve Alford replaced Xavier DuSell and Brandon Love in the starting lineup with Daniel Foster and Justin McBride and watched his offense struggle to find any rhythm. Love, who played in the Pack's first dozen games, did not play at all while DuSell, one of the top 3-point shooters in the nation, was on the floor for just 12 minutes and produced just three points. Foster and McBride combined for 55 minutes and produced 14 points (11 by McBride), six rebounds (five by McBride), five fouls, two assists, three turnovers, two steals and three blocks (all by McBride). KEY LOSS OF IDENTITY The Wolf Pack was just 5-of-11 on threes against Wyoming. The success rate was impressive (46 percent) but the lack of attempts was disturbing considering how much the offense struggled. The 11 3-point attempts is the second fewest this season for the Wolf Pack, behind the 10 it took in the second game (63-53 win over Washington) of the season. The Pack was 13-of-33 and 18-of-36 on threes in consecutive non-league wins over South Dakota State and Texas Southern on Dec. 11 and 14 but followed that up by going 11-of-27 combined on threes in losses to Colorado State and Wyoming (Dec. 21, 28) to open the Mountain West season. Kobe Sanders, Justin McBride, Tre Coleman, Tyler Rolison and Xavier DuSell were just a combined 1-of-3 on threes on Saturday after going 79-of-188 (42 percent) combined over the first 12 games. KEY COWBOY STRATEGY The Wyoming defense basically suffocated the Pack offense and forced Nevada to play the Cowboys' methodical slow-paced style. The Pack shot well enough (45 percent on field goals, 46 percent on threes) but its offense seemed to be stuck in a blinding blizzard a few miles away out on Interstate 80 outside the Cowboys' Arena-Auditorium. The Pack put up just 47 shots the entire game, its second fewest (44 against VCU on Nov. 22) this season. The 21 successful field goals equals its season low (done three times before against Washington, VCU and Loyola Marymount). The Pack, according to the official stats, also did not have a single fast-break point (neither did Wyoming, which also seemed like it was digging out of a snowdrift the entire game on offense). KEY WYOMING STAT Wyoming's bench outscored the Pack bench, 30-12. It's difficult, though, to read much into those numbers because the Pack lineup was discombobulated and out of sync the entire game because of Alford's decision to start role players Foster and McBride. All of the points from the bench came from Tyler Rolison (five), K.J. Hymes (four) and Xavier DuSell (three) with none of them coming in the final 10 minutes of the game. KEY HIDDEN FACTOR The Wolf Pack missed 16 shots in the paint against the Cowboys. Nick Davidson was the biggest culprit, going just 1-of-7 on either layups or shots in the paint on his way to a 4-of-14 performance overall from the floor. Davidson, who also had a game-high six turnovers, missed back-to-back shots in the paint with the Pack trailing 54-52 with just under seven minutes to play and missed again in the paint with the Pack down 61-59 with 3:11 left. He also pulled down an offensive rebound and missed the layup with 13:16 to go in the second half. KEY PACK NEMESES The difference in the game might have been Wyoming reserves Touko Tainamo, Dontaie Allen and Scottie Ebube. The three combined to score 28 points over their 64 minutes off the bench on 8-of-13 shooting, 5-of-6 on threes and 7-of-8 from the line. Allen had a huge 3-pointer for a 58-56 lead with five minutes to play and also drained one for a 44-40 lead midway through the second half. Tainamo hit threes for leads of 49-46 (9:30 left) and 54-52 (7:19 left). KEY COWBOY Obi Agbim, a 6-foot-3 senior transfer who spent his first four college seasons at Fort Lewis College, Northeastern Junior College and Metro State, filled his role as team leader admirably on Saturday. Agbim, who has scored 20 or more points five times this year, finished with 18 against the Pack on efficient 7-of-12 shooting (4-of-7 on threes) without getting to the line once. He also had four assists and two steals. KEY NEVADA STAT The Wolf Pack defense had 16 blocks (seven) and steals (nine) combined against Wyoming. It is the second most blocks and steals combined the Pack has had in a game this year behind 17 (eight blocks, nine steals) it had in a 73-71 loss to Vanderbilt on Nov. 21. Justin McBride led the Pack against Wyoming with three blocks while Kobe Sanders led with three steals. Wyoming, by comparison, had just four steals and no blocks. The 6-8 McBride, a transfer from Oklahoma State, was making his first start of his two-year career. He now has eight blocks this year after getting just three in 24 games (roughly seven minutes a game) last year at Oklahoma State. KEY PACK CONCERN The Wolf Pack is now 0-2 in the Mountain West for the first time since 2012-13. That team finished 12-19 overall and 3-13 in the Mountain West for coach David Carter. So, yes, there should be a definite and obvious sense of urgency in the program right now. But there is no real reason for panic. If there are some serious concerns right now they all should belong to the offense. The Pack has scored 64 or fewer points in each of its last four losses. The defense still has not allowed more than 78 points in any game this year. The Pack team we saw on Saturday, with Foster and McBride starting, DuSell getting just 12 minutes and Love not stepping on the floor, will struggle offensively on most nights against anybody. Whether Alford had no choice to make those lineup changes or was just simply trying to make a point, well, point well taken. We don't need to see that again. UP NEXT The Wolf Pack (8-5, 0-2) will host the Utah State Aggies (12-1, 2-0) on Tuesday at Lawlor Events Center. Utah State will be coming off a 67-66 win over San Diego State on Saturday in San Diego. Utah State has won six of the last nine games in the rivalry against Nevada, though the Wolf Pack beat the Aggies in Logan, Utah (77-63) last season.Was 2024 indeed better than last year for the big boys of Indian IT?
Garrett Marchbanks’ 2024 season was a disjointed affair that featured a change in class and, ultimately, a change of teams, but when the dust settled, he nearly cracked the top 10 in SuperMotocross World Championship points. Marchbanks began the season strong. Racing for ClubMX in the 250 West division, he flirted with the top five in the season opener at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, before finishing seventh. While others struggled in Round 2 in San Francisco, Marchbanks earned his first podium in two years, having hit that mark most recently in the second race of the Orlando residency during the COVID-19-impacted season of 2021. Dan Beaver , Dan Beaver , Marchbanks is one of the larger racers in the 250 division, standing 6', 2" tall and weighing in at a little under 190 pounds, and that contributed to his control in the muddy conditions that marked the early rounds of the Monster Energy Supercross seasons. One week after finishing third in San Francisco, he took the lead of the San Diego feature from RJ Hampshire on a heavy track on Lap 8 and held it for four laps. A small mistake in traffic when he got stalled behind Robbie Wageman as he attempted to lap him allowed Nate Thrasher, another solidly built dirt bike rider, to close the distance and steal the victory. Undeterred, Marchbanks rinsed the mud off his bike and swept the top 10 in seven rounds. He rode well until injury kept him from making the final three races of the stadium season. Missing those rounds denied him the opportunity to finish in the top five in points 250 West, but his average finish of 5.14 marked him as one of the top performers. Dan Beaver , Dan Beaver , One season earlier, when it appeared he would have a difficult time qualifying for the 250 SuperMotocross playoffs, Marchbanks and ClubMX team manager Mike Bonacci decided to pivot and score Pro Motocross points on a 450 . The gamble paid off; Marchbanks qualified for the playoffs on the big bike and finished seventh in the standings. Since it worked once, Marchbanks and ClubMX were prepared to replicate the performance. Fate had different plans, and a hard crash on Press Day for the season opener at Fox Raceway in Pala, California, kept Marchbanks off the circuit for the first four rounds in the 4540 division. Marchbanks returned to action at Southwick, but he was unable to replicate his success from a year early and scored only one top-10 in three rounds. It was time to pivot again, but this time, Marchbanks had a bigger change in mind. Dan Beaver , Dan Beaver , Marchbanks renewed his contract with ClubMX at the start of the end of the 2023 season and was in the middle of a two-year extension . But dirt bike racing is a fraternity and ClubMX was not going to stand in the way of Marchbanks’ success. Pro Circuit Kawasaki was dealing with a rash of injuries and had an open seat in the 250 division — one that Marchbanks was more than happy to fill . He joined them for the Unadilla Nationals and added to his Supercross points. Marchbanks ended the Supercross season 11th in the combined 250 West and East standings, but after missing so many races in Motocross, he was not guaranteed to finish in the top 20 and get an automatic invitation to the features. A pair of fifth-place finishes in Unadilla’s motos helped, and he ended the season 19th in the 250 SuperMotocross standings once Supercross and Motocross were added together. Finishing 10th at zMax Dragway in Concord, North Carolina, 12th at Texas Motor Speedway, and 10th in the season finale at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway allowed Marchbanks to move up seven spots and finish 12th in the standings. The 2025 season promises much more. He will return to action with Pro Circuit and spend the entire SuperMotocross season on a 250. That organization has a history of excellence, and Marchbanks should easily contend for a top-10 points finish this year. 2024 Statistics Feature starts: 13 Average feature finish: 9.54 Podiums: 2 Top-fives: 5 Top-10s: 10 Best finish: Second (San Diego SX) SMX Standings/payout: 12th/$13,000 2024 News Garrett Marchbanks joins Pro Circuit beginning at Unadilla Marchbanks, ClubMX part ways Marchbanks crashes on Press Day at Fox Raceway Marchbanks sizzles in the mud, starts 2024 with two podiums 450 Countdown 11.

Country moving over to renewable energyThe GOP is tearing itself apart over a heated multi-day immigration debate, kicked off after President-elect Trump nominated Indian national Sriram Krishnan as a senior advisor on artificial intelligence. Trump appointed Krishnan on Dec. 22. While the tech community lauded the pick, many MAGA loyalists criticized it harshly. Chief among their complaints was Krishnan’s past advocacy to remove current country caps on skilled legal immigration. “Anything to remove country caps for green cards / unlock skilled immigration would be huge,” Krishnan tweeted in November. Anything to remove country caps for green cards / unlock skilled immigration would be huge. https://t.co/21toGtW5lS — Sriram Krishnan (@sriramk) November 14, 2024 Vocal Trump supporter Laura Loomer called the pick “disappointing,” and questioned to her 1.4 million X followers how his positions on immigration meshed with Trump’s America First agenda. “How will we control immigration in our country and promote America First innovation when Trump appointed this guy who wants to REMOVE all restrictions on green card caps in the United States so that foreign students (which makes up 78% of the employees in Silicon Valley) can come to the US and take jobs that should be given to American STEM students,” Loomer wrote Monday evening. Deeply disturbing to see the appointment of Sriram Krishnan @sriramk as Senior Policy Advisor for AI at the Office of Science and Technology Policy. It’s alarming to see the number of career leftists who are now being appointed to serve in Trump’s admin when they share views... https://t.co/pf0WiViy32 pic.twitter.com/nR0TkZpNK7 — Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) December 23, 2024 Her criticism ignited a heated debate that has ceaselessly raged on X since she wrote it, even leaking onto the cable news circuit in the following days. (RELATED: PATEL: How To Fix Big Tech’s Favorite Broken Immigration Policy) One notable Trump ally who supported Krishnan’s nomination was Elon Musk, who, after initially congratulating Krishnan on X, began tweeting his support for the H1B visa program. Musk argued that there is a “permanent shortage” of engineering talent in Silicon Valley and that the country needs double the current number of engineers. No, we need more like double that number yesterday! The number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low. Think of this like a pro sports team: if you want your TEAM to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent wherever... — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 25, 2024 However, others have argued that there is no shortage of American engineers and that the H1B program is nothing more than a cynical way for Silicon Valley and other corporations to exploit foreign workers for cheaper employees. “250,000 engineering graduates in the US every year from the best schools in the world. But this is about cost of tech labor and the ability to NOT higher American Engineers,” author Jarl Jensen wrote in a Thursday post on X. 250,000 engineering graduates in the US every year from the best schools in the world. But this is about cost of tech labor and the ability to NOT higher American Engineers. The wake up call is that they don’t want to higher American Engineers because they are mostly white. — Jarl Jensen (@JarlJensen) December 27, 2024 The H1B visa, the largest visa category in the U.S., allows employers to hire skilled foreign workers and “authorizes the temporary employment of qualified individuals who are not otherwise authorized to work in the U.S.,” according to the Department of Labor. In 2021, Facebook agreed to separate settlements with the U.S. Departments of Justice (DOJ) and Labor (DOL) totaling nearly $15 million after the government accused them of discriminating against American workers in favor of cheaper foreign employees. “Facebook routinely reserved jobs for temporary visa holders through the PERM process. Specifically, the lawsuit alleged that, in contrast to its standard recruitment practices, Facebook used recruiting methods designed to deter U.S. workers from applying to certain positions, such as requiring applications to be submitted by mail only; refused to consider U.S. workers who applied to the positions; and hired only temporary visa holders,” the DOJ announced in 2021. Facebook is not alone in manipulating the program for profit. An Economic Policy Institute report found that Google, Microsoft, Intel, Qualcomm and others hired 2,735 new H1B workers in 2022 while laying off close to 15,000 employees — “nearly five and a half times the number of H-1B workers they hired.” Silicon Valley is the dominant player in the H1B game, but the EPI found that Goldman Sachs and consultancy firm McKinsey & Company also collectively fired 5,000 employees while importing 1,000 H1B workers in 2022.

Musk’s Tesla ranked 27th in total approved H1B visas for 2022 with 337. The conversation reached a boiling point Thursday, when Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) co-head Vivek Ramaswamy weighed in with a lengthy screed, which some interpreted as an insult to American culture and work ethic. “The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture,” Ramaswamy wrote in an X post. He argued that American culture “venerated mediocrity” and argued for a greater influence of the immigrant culture that emphasizes hard work over leisure. “More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of ‘Friends.’ More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less ‘hanging out at the mall,'” he wrote.

Tough questions demand tough answers & if... — Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) December 26, 2024 While much of the tech community sided with Ramaswamy , many people in Trump’s base viewed the post as an attack on American culture. Ramaswamy’s note invited a swell of humorous memes about his references to popular TV shows of the 1990s like “Boy Meets World” and “Saved by the Bell,” however they also prompted fierce backlash and an organic movement of Americans standing up for their culture. “American jock + bro culture, which values the high school quarterback over the Math Olympiad contestant,” pollster Patrick Ruffini tweeted alongside a picture of D-Day.

Yup, I’ve long said the current H-1B system is badly broken & needs to be gutted. It shouldn’t use a lottery, it should be based on pure MERIT. It shouldn’t tether workers to just one corporation. Same principles I favor today. https://t.co/tcMSxAaw6W — Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) December 27, 2024 Trump appeared to come out in favor of the H1B program in comments he made to The New York Post Saturday. “I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” he said. “I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” he added. Trump has criticized the H1B program in the past, even admitting he exploited the program himself. “I know the H1B very well,” he said in a 2016 CNN GOP presidential debate in Miami. “It’s something that I frankly use and shouldn’t be allowed to use. We shouldn’t have it. It’s very, very bad for workers. And second of all, it’s very important to say, well, I’m a businessman and I have to do what I have to do. When it’s sitting there waiting for you, but it’s very bad. It’s very bad for business and it’s bad for our workers and unfair for our workers.”

In a surprising move, President-elect Donald Trump revealed his intentions to appoint Charles Kushner, a seasoned real estate developer and the father of Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as the ambassador to France. Trump's announcement, made on Truth Social, praised Charles Kushner as a 'tremendous business leader, philanthropist, & dealmaker.' Charles Kushner, who founded the real estate firm Kushner Companies, has a past tarnished by legal troubles. In December 2020, Trump pardoned him after he had previously pleaded guilty to tax evasion and illegal campaign contributions, stemming from a scandal involving an intimidation scheme against his brother-in-law. The proposed appointment comes amidst a backdrop of controversy, as Charles Kushner's legal issues have been a stain on his track record, even drawing harsh criticism from figures like Chris Christie, the former US attorney for New Jersey. Notably, Trump's connections to the Kushner family have long been cemented, notably through the marriage of their children, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, in 2009. (With inputs from agencies.)
Why 3D Scanning is Revolutionizing Customized Engineering DesignNEW YORK (AP) — No ex-president had a more prolific and diverse publishing career than Jimmy Carter . His more than two dozen books included nonfiction, poetry, fiction, religious meditations and a children’s story. His memoir “An Hour Before Daylight” was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2002, while his 2006 best-seller “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” stirred a fierce debate by likening Israel’s policies in the West Bank to the brutal South African system of racial segregation. And just before his 100th birthday, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize Foundation honored him with a lifetime achievement award for how he wielded “the power of the written word to foster peace, social justice, and global understanding.” In one recent work, “A Full Life,” Carter observed that he “enjoyed writing” and that his books “provided a much-needed source of income.” But some projects were easier than others. “Everything to Gain,” a 1987 collaboration with his wife, Rosalynn, turned into the “worst threat we ever experienced in our marriage,” an intractable standoff for the facilitator of the Camp David accords and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. According to Carter, Rosalynn was a meticulous author who considered “the resulting sentences as though they have come down from Mount Sinai, carved into stone.” Their memories differed on various events and they fell into “constant arguments.” They were ready to abandon the book and return the advance, until their editor persuaded them to simply divide any disputed passages between them. “In the book, each of these paragraphs is identified by a ‘J’ or an ‘R,’ and our marriage survived,” he wrote. Here is a partial list of books by Carter: “Keeping Faith: Memoirs of a President” “The Blood of Abraham: Insights into the Middle East” (With Rosalynn Carter) “Everything to Gain: Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life” “An Outdoor Journal: Adventures and Reflections” “Turning Point: A Candidate, a State, and a Nation Come of Age” “Always a Reckoning, and Other Poems” (With daughter Amy Carter) “The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer” “Living Faith” “The Virtues of Aging” “An Hour Before Daylight: Memories of a Rural Boyhood” “Christmas in Plains: Memories” “The Hornet’s Nest: A Novel of the Revolutionary War” “Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis” “Faith & Freedom: The Christian Challenge for the World” “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” “A Remarkable Mother” “Beyond the White House” “We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land: A Plan That Will Work” “White House Diary” “NIV Lessons from Life Bible: Personal Reflections with Jimmy Carter” “A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power” “A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety”
