acegame888.con CNN panelist's embarrassing takedown after praising Biden's Middle East 'accomplishments' By EMMA RICHTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 22:54, 29 December 2024 | Updated: 22:56, 29 December 2024 e-mail View comments A panelist was embarrassingly taken down by CNN pundit Scott Jennings after she praised President Joe Biden for his 'accomplishments' in the Middle East. Karen Finney, a US political consultant and Hillary Clinton's former spokesperson during her 2016 campaign, told Jennings that those 'accomplishments' will 'also stand the test of time.' As she said this, Jennings, who has become known for his dissonance from the network's progressive stance, quickly shot her down and corrected her statements. In reference to Biden, Finney said: 'I think he still, look, he showed up for the job. He got the work done. 'I think some of the accomplishments also, in the Middle East and foreign policy will also stand the test of time,' she added. 'You think the Middle East is in better shape today than when he took office?' Jennings asked Finney as he smirked toward the camera. 'Well, I think he got our hostages home. I think that's a big deal. I think it's important..' Finney said as Jennings cut her off and looked at her in awe. 'I'm sorry, which hostages?', he questioned. Finney then said Biden 'has gotten a number of people home,' as she stumbled on her words. Karen Finney, a US political consultant, was quickly shot down by CNN pundit Scott Jennings after she hailed President Biden has 'accomplishments' in the Middle East Jennings corrected Finney as she said that Biden has 'gotten a number of people home' from the war, as he butted in and said that 100 people are still trapped in Gaza 'There's still 100 people over there,' Jennings said, referring to the hostages still trapped in Gaza as the Israeli-Palestinian war continues more than a year later. In an effort to save herself, Finney told Jennings: 'Well, there were more than that,' just before he makes it clear that some of the hostages are Americans. Jennings quickly changed the subject and looked away from Finney as he discussed his predictions for Biden after he's booted from the White House in a couple weeks by President-elect Donald Trump. 'Look, I think he's gonna leave office in disgrace. The Hunter Biden pardon was disgraceful. 'He's going to be remembered largely for inflation and for the disastrous Afghanistan pullout,' Jennings noted, adding that the 'massive cover-up' reportedly made by Biden's administration has led him to a 'diminished presidency.' Jennings also highlighted his rage with the 'massive cover-up' that reportedly went on by Biden's family and administration 'But as we continue to learn about the massive cover-up that went on, not about his health, but about this mental acuity, to cover that up - the efforts that were undertaken by the White House staff, by his [Biden's] family - not in the last couple of months, but for all four years, I think it's gonna be a really ugly chapter. 'It's a diminished presidency because of it,' Jennings said, adding that 'we don't know the full extent' of what Biden's team did to 'try and hide what they've been doing over in the west wing.' A recent bombshell report by The Wall Street Journal revealed that the White House tried to hide from the public Biden's rapidly diminishing mental condition for his entire presidency. Biden's team hired a vocal coach, put other officials into roles usually occupied by the president, scrapped meetings on his 'bad days', and kept him at arm's length from his own Cabinet members, the outlet reported. The explosive investigation has exposed an extensive, deliberate and years-long cover-up that also saw the administration gaslighting those who dared to claim Biden's abilities had deteriorated since he was Barack Obama's vice president. Despite the efforts of 'eager beaver hand-holders', Biden's decline became increasingly obvious, especially after Special Counsel Robert Hur last year released a report depicting a forgetful and frail then-81 year old. Hur decided not to charge Biden for keeping classified documents in his Delaware garage because he 'would likely present himself to a jury' as a 'sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.' Among the many struggles Biden has faced as president, inflation and the Middle East conflict reflect Jimmy Carter's time in the White House. President-elect Donald Trump has often compared the Democratic presidents, and has even labeled them two of the worst. 'Jimmy Carter's happy because he's had a brilliant presidency compared to Biden,' Trump joked on the campaign trail in April. Carter only served one term due to losing his 1980 reelection bid to Republican President Ronald Reagan. The former president died on Sunday, at the age of 100. Biden dropped his reelection bid in July after a disastrous June debate performance with his successor, Vice President Kamala Harris, losing to Trump in the general election last month. As Biden nears the end of his term, his poll numbers are closing in on Carter's as well. Biden's approval rating stands at 37 percent but is trending downward, so he's likely to leave with the same - or worse - numbers than Carter. What's more, is that a couple weeks ago, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 267 points or .6 percent down for the ninth straight day in a row - something that hasn't happened since February 1978, when 100-year-old President Carter was in office, CNN reported using FactSet data.

A snowball fight at Kidd Brewer Stadium ? There were elements of that Saturday in Boone, North Carolina, when JMU football stood in the tunnel waiting to enter the field in its game against Appalachian State . In a snowy stadium, fans standing by the visitors tunnel hurled snowballs and other objects at the Dukes while they stood in the tunnel. The players had pads and helmets on, but not everyone in the tunnel did. JMU football coach Bob Chesney said even after coming out of the tunnel before the game, snowballs kept falling. He thought there were a few instances during the game. @SunBelt when do your officials plan on stopping the snowballs being thrown on the field at JMU players lined up for the snap? The warning should have been made at the beginning of the game with a penalty for this. pic.twitter.com/4vPADFgAf9 "I thought at one point on the PAT, a snowball hit our long snapper," Chesney said. "It's just what they're doing and who they are and it's exciting." JMU and Appalachian State have developed a rivalry since the Dukes moved to the Sun Belt. In 2022 — during the Dukes' transition year before they were officially part of FBS — JMU came back to win after being down 28-3. In 2023, the Mountaineers beat the Dukes at home in overtime with College GameDay in town. It was JMU's first game at Kidd Brewer Stadium since that comeback win two years ago. The Dukes were greeted with snowballs, among other projectiles. Chesney said he appreciated the fanfare, but was concerned for his staff members who had to go back and forth through the tunnel without protection. "You didn't love going up and down the ramp with ice (thrown) at you," Chesney said. "Especially with coaches and everybody else in there without helmets on. "I think they need to do a little bit of a better job of making sure they protected those people." Those staff members included JMU coaches, support staff and athletic trainers among others. At one point, Chesney's son was out there as well. I mean ... is this not a penalty? Kind of insane the Sun Belt threatened JMU fans for throwing streamers with penalties yet this goes unnoticed https://t.co/w3A1D744Uq As of Monday, Chesney hadn't received official word from the Sun Belt about what happened. He has not heard anything from JMU athletic director Mark Roan, either. "It was interesting coming up through that tunnel," Chesney said, "the unprotected areas with the ice being thrown over, that was an interesting moment, especially with the coaches and our trainers and everybody else. "It was not the greatest situation, but I think we all survived. I thought they could have done a better job, especially with the security people watching them. I think there could have been a little more done to protect those people, especially without the helmets on."

Egypt’s Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Ayman Ashour, has announced a significant investment of EGP 10bn to upgrade the digital infrastructure of public universities. Among the groundbreaking initiatives is the launch of Egypt’s first generative AI integration pilot at Ain Shams University, developed in collaboration with Microsoft. This pilot program is designed to enhance students’ market-relevant skills by integrating AI tools into course curricula, with plans to expand the initiative to other academic disciplines across Egyptian universities. Minister Ashour emphasized the Ministry’s commitment to leveraging technology to transform education, improve content delivery, and boost student engagement. Central to these efforts is the “Digital Transformation and Future Vision” initiative, part of the Ministry’s broader strategy for 2024. This strategy aligns with the National Strategy for Higher Education and Scientific Research, built on seven key principles: integration, interdisciplinary collaboration, connectivity, active participation, sustainability, international benchmarking, and fostering leadership and innovation. These efforts aim to build a robust digital foundation, equip graduates with future-ready skills, and develop modernized, efficient institutions. The year 2024 has been a pivotal one for digital transformation in higher education, highlighted by the Ministry’s active participation in the Cairo ICT 2024 Exhibition and Conference for the Middle East and Africa. The Ministry has focused on embedding artificial intelligence and digital tools across the higher education ecosystem, supporting initiatives such as smart campuses, electronic exams, digital platforms, and updated learning management systems. A joint study conducted by UNESCO and UNICEF praised the Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB), a national digital learning platform, for its contributions to lifelong learning and innovation. The EKB has become a comprehensive educational resource, offering extensive content for learners, educators, and institutions, along with capacity-building programs to maximize its use. It is recognized as a cornerstone of Egypt’s knowledge-driven society, expanding access to education and fostering a culture of innovation. Another milestone for the sector was the digitization of university aptitude tests, conducted under the e-Government system. The Supreme Council of Universities introduced an enhanced admissions platform, enabling high school graduates to register and pay test fees online, ensuring convenience, security, and confidentiality. Sherif Keshk, Assistant Minister for Smart Governance, detailed efforts to integrate advanced technologies into academic and administrative functions. Over 800 faculty members have been trained in cutting-edge technologies, including cloud computing, data analytics, and AI, while 70 IT staff from various universities have received advanced cloud training. A new cohort of faculty training programs, in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), is underway, and 500 administrative staff have completed the first phase of a digital safety initiative in collaboration with the National Telecom Regulatory Authority and regional tech firms. To prepare students for emerging job markets, particularly in AI and data science, the Ministry has organized workshops with leading tech companies. These sessions equip students with the skills required to excel in the future workforce. Keshk stressed the importance of utilizing technologies like AI and cloud computing to modernize educational processes, enhance infrastructure, and build a generation of innovators aligned with global trends and Egypt’s Vision 2030 development goals. Adel Abdel Ghaffar, the Ministry’s Media Advisor and Official Spokesperson, reiterated that digital transformation remains a cornerstone of the National Strategy for Higher Education and Scientific Research. Significant progress in 2024 underscores the Ministry’s dedication to achieving full digital integration, with advancements expected to bolster the global competitiveness of Egypt’s higher education and research institutions.Gisele Bündchen and ex Tom Brady are celebrating Vivian Brady reaching the endzone of another year. The pregnant supermodel and former New England Patriots quarterback—who divorced in 2022 following 13 years of marriage—rang in their daughter's 12th birthday with adorable tributes on social media. For Tom's part, the NFL Hall of Famer—who also shares son Benjamin Brady , 14, with Gisele, as well as son Jack Brady , 17, with ex Bridget Moynahan —gave a special shout to his "forever baby girl" alongside a carousel of images, including one snap of the two posing together in front of the Eiffel Tower at the 2024 Olympics . "Watching you grow and chase after your dreams are the proudest moments of my life," Tom continued in his Dec. 5 Instagram post . "Your love, compassion, and joy fill up every room that you’re in, and will always make your daddy smile. You light up my life!" He added, "Here’s to a great day filled with all the laughter and love that you deserve. I love you infinity x infinity!!!" And Gisele—who is currently expecting a baby with boyfriend Joaquim Valente —paid tribute with her own series of photos showing her and Vivian basking in the sun on the beach, riding horses and enjoying a sweet embrace at sunset. Atop the trio of Dec. 5 Instagram Stories, she wrote, "Happy birthday to my ray of sunshine." "You are the best daughter a mom could ever ask for," the 44-year-old continued, "and I'm so blessed to be your mama!" Of course, her daughter isn't the only one hitting new milestones in the family. Gisele recently showed off her bumpin' baby belly while hitting the beach with Joaquim amid their babymoon in Costa Rica . And as for how Gisele and Tom feel about their kids coming into their own? As long as they maintain their family's values, Tom's happy to watch them gain more independence. "I'm trying to raise them—we all are, myself and their mom—in a very loving way toward one another," Tom told E! News last year, "to be very kind, to be empathetic and to have great perspective." For more heartwarming moments between Tom and his kids, read on... Gisele Bündchen shared this family photo on Instagram on Tom Brady 's son Jack 's 14th birthday, writing, "Happy birthday Jack! We are all so lucky to have you in our lives. Thank you for being the best big brother in the world. We love you soooo much!" While wearing his Christopher Cloos x Brady sunglasses, Tom celebrates his Super Bowl win with daughter Vivian during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers boat parade. After winning his seventh Super Bowl, the Tampa Bay quarterback celebrated with his daughter Vivian. Tom snuggled with his kids John "Jack" Moynahan (with ex Bridget Moynahan ), Vivian and Benjamin in this adorable photo snapped by Gisele on Father's Day. Brady went from quarterback to coach with his son on the beach, writing on Instagram that he's "#dadsfavoriteworkoutpartner." Gisele shared this adorable photo on Instagram of Tom giving his son a kiss on the forehead. The whole Brady-bünch posed together at the Mercedes-Benz in Atlanta ahead of the Super Bowl LIII, which the Patriots later won . Tom lurked as Pennywise the Dancing Clown in a window behind his family as they celebrate Halloween in 2018. As Tom geared up for another football season, he stopped to give his daughter a little love and clearly this one has her dad's full attention. In July 2018, the Brady bunch headed out of town for a family vacation and they couldn't look any happier on their horseback riding adventure. Tom celebrated Father's Day with a family dinner and lots of silly photos with his younger son, Ben. There's nothing sweeter than seeing the greatest quarterback of all time (he has seven Super Bowl rings) get smothered in love by his three kids. Even though it was springtime, Tom bundled up with Ben for a fun day outside...complete with a little training. Tom Brady as the Easter bunny? Who would've guessed?! The super sweet family was all smiles during one of Brady's episodes of Tom vs. Time . After playing in another Super Bowl, Tom took a little break with his family, complete with burger time and selfies. Even though the Patriots lost the 2018 Super Bowl, Tom had his support squad ready and waiting to cheer him up. Ahead of Super Bowl LII, the Patriots QB posed for pictures with his whole family including Gisele and oldest son Jack, second-born Ben, and daughter Vivian. The New England Patriots quarterback showed his second oldest son a little love on his birthday in December of 2017, writing , "Happy Birthday to the sweetest 8 year old boy a mom and dad could ever ask for! So filled with love and joy! We are so proud of you Benny! And you shine a light that brightens our lives every day! We love you." Vivian was the ultimate sous chef as her dad made her biscuits before Thanksgiving and really, what can't Brady do? The dynamic duo of Tom and Ben spent a November day swinging in a hammock together and we really wish we had some R&R like this in our near future. Leave it to Tom to teach his son more than just football. The Brady crew rolled around in the grass and enjoyed spending time together in June 2017 and it really does look like they are having a blast. Who says you're too old to make funny faces? When the Patriots headed back to Boston for their parade celebration after their 2017 Super Bowl win, Tom brought Ben along for the ride making him the coolest dad around. Winning the Super Bowl in 2017 was great, but getting to celebrate with your daughter on the field is priceless. In 2017, Vivian gave her dad a big good luck kiss before he headed out for a game. Seriously, these two are so stinking cute. Tom's fans span near and far, but his biggest fans are his three kids and their "Brady" jerseys continually make us love them even more as a unit. Decorating the Christmas tree is twice as fun when you have your precious daughter helping you out...especially when she's dressed as a fairy! The football player loves to spend his off time with his adorable kiddos at the beach and we totally approve.
