‘Collaboration, Knowledge Sharing Essential in Addressing Nigeria’s Dairy Sector Challenges’
Despite this explanation, many questions still remain. Why did the woman choose to disappear in the first place? What led her to remain with her distant relative for so long, raising a family of her own in secret? These questions linger in the minds of those who have followed the woman's mysterious story, prompting speculation and debate about the true nature of her disappearance.If you’re reading this, you value a free press, and you should be alarmed by President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Kash Patel to head the FBI. Current FBI Director Christopher Wray, a Trump appointee, is about to be dismissed for perceived disloyalty after the FBI retrieved classified documents that Trump had kept at Mar-a-Lago. Wray would be the second FBI director to be sacked by Trump, after James Comey’s firing in 2017. Expect no independence of thought or action from Patel, known for unwavering loyalty to Trump. Patel has vowed to target government officials who leak information to reporters and to push for legal changes making it easier to sue journalists. He told Steve Bannon in a 2023 podcast, “We’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections,” as part of a comprehensive housecleaning of the Justice Department and the FBI. Patel will t urn the nation’s top law enforcement agency into a tool for Trump, punishing critics and dissenters while undermining the press. This approach threatens the independence of the FBI and the vital role of the Fourth Estate in defending democracy. Those who value a free and accountable government have every reason to be deeply concerned. Mervyn Turner, Scotch Plains Putin won’t drop nukes on Ukraine Regarding Paul Mulshine’s recent column, “World War III? Nukes don’t give you time to relax”: It’s Mulshine who should relax. Vladimir Putin wants to re-create the Great Russian Empire, including Ukraine, which is why he will not use nuclear weapons in his war there. The state of Kievan Rus , established in the ninth century, was Russia’s first great empire, and that is why Putin wants to control Ukraine. What is now modern-day Kyiv was the center of Kievan Rus, and has many historic and religious relics important to the Russian Orthodox Church. Kievan Rus was situated along the Dnieper River and traded with the Byzantine Empire, resulting in the conversion of many Russians to Orthodox Christianity. The Russians adapted this version to their own Russian Orthodox Christianity, which is practiced today, and of which Putin claims to be an adherent. The Mongols destroyed the state of Kievan Rus in the 13th century. If Putin wants to reassemble the Great Russian Empire, he cannot do it by nuking Ukraine, which would make Kiev and vicinity inaccessible beyond his lifetime. Shirley Allen, Hopewell Township No water-saving deed goes unpunished Once again, we are experiencing severe drought conditions and are being asked to conserve water. I remember the last time we had a problem and our politicians asked us to conserve water. Many of us did not shower or shave every day. We let our lawns burn out, and we used dirty washing machine water for our plants. A lot of us followed the toilet-flushing guideline popularized by then-New York City Mayor Ed Koch during a 1980s water shortage: “If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down.” We saved a lot of water. But, because the water companies did not sell enough water to make big enough profits, we were rewarded with surcharges on our bills. Hopefully, if we get into those dire straights again, the politicians will protect the people that they represent and not let this robbery occur once again. Robert E. Malinowski, Point Pleasant You can’t fix stupid I read the very sad recent article, “ 5 bears hit by cars in a week in Delaware Water Gap in ‘troubling’ trend,” about the five bears hit by cars in one week up in the Delaware Water Gap. Happily, the solution (?) to the problem was contained in another article a few days ago about proposed legislation to restrict homeowners’ use of bear-attracting bird feeders in New Jersey from April to November. Because if we outlaw bird feeders, the bears will ... go away? This is quite possibly the stupidest legislative suggestion ever. And, that includes Prohibition, which was pretty stupid. I also read about the cold snap we’re experiencing. Happily (?), according to U.S. Rep. Marjorie Tyler Green, R-Ga., the government — specifically President Joe Biden and the current Democratic administration — controls the weather. It’s obvious. Just look at the “evidence” of the Red-State areas where recent hurricanes struck. Unhappily, while the Democrats still have control, they’ll probably use the weather to punish the country for electing Donald Trump and Republicans congressional majorities. The evidence is going to be right in front of you. There’s a common thread running through these two episodes: You can’t fix stupid. John S. Rounds, Lawrence Middletown mayor wrong in Facebook feud Concerning the recent article “Facebook group shuts down after calling for boycott of N.J. businesses over MAGA support”: I read Middletown Mayor Tony Perry’s comments about this Facebook group that discouraged patronizing of businesses in the Monmouth County township, based on their alleged support of President-elect Donald Trump. Perry, a Republican, had called the Facebook group’s actions “outrageous,” and said that the targeted businesses are “important members of our community.” Perry’s simplistic explanation ignores that Trump’s issues go way beyond political differences. Trump’s genital-grabbing support, housing discrimination, business fraud, charity fraud and tax evasion should not be considered mere political issues. They are ethical and character issues. I, too, have concerns about the people and businesses that support such an unethical candidate, and the party that put him on the ballot. Andy Babij , Livingston MeMaw probably ate pawpaws When I read the article, “This American fruit could outcompete apples and peaches on a hotter planet,” about the U.S. resurgence of the pawpaw fruit, it reminded me of an old American folk song I learned as a child, “Way down yonder in the pawpaw patch.” The song described a group of children searching for one of their friends who was in the pawpaw patch, picking up pawpaws and putting them in her pocket. Pawpaw have been grown and eaten by Americans for a long time. Ellen Moxley, East Orange A holiday gift from felon, to felon Concerning President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to appoint New Jersey’s Charles Kushner as U.S. ambassador to France: Kushner, a property developer, spent two years in prison after pleading guilty in 2005 to tax evasion and witness tampering. Kushner’s son Jared is Trump’s son-in-law, married to Ivanka. Trump pardoned Charles Kushner in December 2020. What a sad thought it is that the choice for the best representative of American interests in France is a convicted felon, whose son is married to the daughter of another convicted felon, Trump himself.

Earning £300,000 a week for subpar performances has raised eyebrows and fueled the discontent surrounding his situation. Many believe that the money could be better spent on other players who are more deserving and can contribute positively to the team.
Biden's broken promise on pardoning his son Hunter is raising new questions about his legacy WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s decision to go back on his word and pardon his son Hunter wasn't all that surprising to those who are familiar with the president's devotion to his family. But by choosing to put his family first, the 82-year-old president has raised new questions about his legacy. Biden has held himself up as placing his respect for the American judicial system and rule of law over his own personal concerns. It was part of an effort to draw a deliberate contrast with Republican Donald Trump. Now, both his broken promise and his act of clemency are a political lightning rod. Some Democrats are frustrated over Joe Biden reversing course and pardoning his son Hunter ATLANTA (AP) — Already reeling from their November defeat at the polls, Democrats now are grappling with President Joe Biden's pardoning of his son for a federal felony conviction — after the party spent years slamming Donald Trump as a threat to democracy who operates above the law. The White House on Monday struggled to defend the pardon, claiming the prosecution was politically motivated — a page out of Trump's playbook. That explanation did not satisfy some Democrats who are angry that Biden’s reversal could make it harder to take on Trump. Hezbollah fires into Israel-held area after multiple Israeli strikes in Lebanon since truce began JERUSALEM (AP) — Hezbollah fired into a disputed border zone held by Israel after multiple Israeli strikes inside Lebanon since a ceasefire took hold last week. The militant group said the volley, its first during the truce, was a warning shot in response to what it called repeated Israeli violations. Israeli leaders threatened to retaliate, further straining the fragile U.S.- and French-brokered ceasefire. Israeli strikes in recent days, including a string of hits on Monday, have killed at least four people in Lebanon. U.S. officials said the ceasefire was largely holding. Key players in Syria's long-running civil war, reignited by a shock rebel offensive BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s long civil war has reclaimed global attention after insurgents seized most of its largest city and dozens of nearby towns and villages. The stunning advance on Aleppo by rebel forces came as several key players in the conflict have been distracted or weakened. That triggered the heaviest clashes since a 2020 ceasefire brought relative calm to the country’s north. Russian and Syrian forces have carried out dozens of airstrikes to try to limit the insurgents’ advances, inflicting heavy casualties. Syria’s civil war started in 2011 after an uprising against President Bashar Assad’s rule. Delaware judge reaffirms ruling that invalidated massive Tesla pay package for Elon Musk DOVER, Del. (AP) — A Delaware judge has reaffirmed her ruling that Tesla must revoke Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar pay package. The judge on Monday also rejected an equally unprecedented and massive fee request by plaintiff attorneys. The rulings came in a lawsuit filed by a Tesla stockholder who challenged Musk’s 2018 compensation package that carried a potential value of $56 billion. The judge ruled in January that Musk engineered the landmark pay package in sham negotiations with directors who were not independent. Tesla shareholders then voted for a second time to ratify Musk’s 2018 pay package, but the judge refused to revisit her initial ruling. Woman driving drunk who killed bride still in her wedding dress sentenced to 25 years in prison A woman who admitted to drinking and who was driving well over twice the speed limit when she smashed into a golf cart killing a bride who had just got married at a South Carolina beach has been sentenced to 25 years in prison. Jamie Lee Komoroski pleaded guilty Monday to reckless homicide and three felony driving under the influence charges. Police said the 27-year-old drank at several bars on April 28, 2023, and was driving 65 mph on a narrow Folly Beach road when she slammed into a golf cart leaving a wedding. The bride, 34-year-old Samantha Miller, died still wearing her wedding dress. Florida woman sentenced to life for zipping boyfriend into suitcase, suffocating him A 47-year-oldFlorida woman has been sentenced to life in prison for zipping her boyfriend into a suitcase and leaving him to die of suffocation amid a history of domestic and alcohol abuse. Circuit Judge Michael Kraynick imposed the sentence Monday in Orlando on Sarah Boone for the 2020 killing of 42-year-old Jorge Torres. A jury deliberated only 90 minutes Oct. 25 before convicting Boone of the second-degree murder of Jorge Torres after a 10-day trial. Boone had insisted she was herself a victim of domestic violence at the hands of Torres and had pleaded not guilty. Already buried under snow, Great Lakes region expected to see more stormy weather this week Some storm-weary residents of the Great Lakes region have seen continued snowfall and are facing the prospect of even more accumulations this week. Lake-effect snow continues to fall on parts of western New York that were already blanketed with a foot or more over the past four days. Lake-effect snow warnings are in effect through Tuesday night in parts of Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania. Snow fell in western Michigan overnight, and heavier, persistent snow of up to a foot was expected to follow into Monday. Meanwhile, Alaska's capital got more than a foot of snow over the weekend. The National Weather Service says the wintry weather is stronger than Juneau usually sees this time of year. Cyber Monday shoppers expected to set a record on the year's biggest day for online shopping Consumers in the U.S. are scouring the internet for online deals as they look to make the most of the post-Thanksgiving shopping marathon on Cyber Monday. The National Retail Federation coined the term for the Monday after Black Friday in 2005. Even though e-commerce is now part and parcel of many people’s regular routine, Cyber Monday continues to be the biggest online shopping day of the year, thanks to steady discounts and a fair amount of hype. Several major retails actually started their Cyber Monday promotions over the weekend. Consumer spending for the online shopping days between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday provides an indication of how much shoppers are willing to spend for the holidays.None
