Donald Trump gave his first major press conference since winning the November election at Mar-a-Lago on Monday morning. The president-elect answered questions from reporters for more than an hour, reiterating and expanding on some of his most notorious campaign promises, including his plans to implement widespread tariffs and carry out mass deportations. While the event was intended to bolster a planned $100 billion investment by SoftBank in AI technology, Trump covered a lot of ground while speaking with reporters, addressing everything from foreign policy, to the drones above New Jersey, to how he plans to handle the media in his second term. Here are five of Trump’s most eyebrow-raising answers. Trump’s decision to nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services has caused alarm over the famed vaccine conspiracy theorists plans for disease-prevention vaccines. Over the last few weeks, Trump has been waffling on vaccines and deferring to Kennedy — who has long pushed conspiracy theories about vaccines, including that they cause autism — on the issue. When asked on Monday if he believes there is a link between vaccinations and autism, Trump responded that there are “some very brilliant people looking at it.” “If you look at autism,” he added. “Thirty years ago we had — I’ve heard numbers of like 1 in 200,000, 1 in 100,000. Now I’m hearing numbers of 1 in 100. So something is wrong. There is something wrong. And we are going to find out about it.” Trump added that Kennedy is “going to be much less radical than you would think” in response to a question about Americans who might be worried that putting him in charge of vaccines might make their children less safe. “But there are problems,” Trump continued. “We don’t do as well as a lot of other nations and those nations use nothing. We are going to find [out] what those problems are.” Editor’s picks The 100 Best TV Episodes of All Time The 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time Trump was asked directly if he would consider pardoning embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams. “Yeah I would,” Trump told reporters. “I think that he was treated pretty unfairly [...] so I would certainly look at it.” In September, Adams was indicted on federal charges related to campaign corruption, including bribery; solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national; wire fraud; and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Since his indictment, Adams, a Democrat, has been playing nice Trump and his allies. He refused to call Trump a “fascist” ahead of the election, breaking with other Democrats, prompting Trump to praise him during a rally at Madison Square Garden. “I have to tell you he’s been really great,” Trump said. “He said, ‘They shouldn’t be calling Trump a dictator because it’s not true.’ That was nice. Very nice. So, we want to thank Mayor Adams, he’s going through a hard time with these people.” Rolling Stone reported earlier this month that the president-elect has openly joked about how that mayor seems to “really like” him all of a sudden. After ABC News agreed to pay $15 million to Trump’s presidential library as part of a defamation settlement last week, the president-elect repeatedly indicated his desire to bring litigation against outlets who criticize him.

One newspaper Trump has it out for in particular is the Des Moines Register and its longtime pollster Ann Selzer — who published a poll shortly before the election giving Vice President Kamala Harris a three point lead in Iowa. Trump wound up winning the state by 19 points. “In my opinion, it was fraud and it was election interference,” Trump said on Monday. “We’ll probably be filing a major lawsuit against them today or tomorrow.” “Do you believe Ukraine should cede territory to Russia?” one reporter asked Trump . The president-elect avoided the question, responding that he’s “going to let you know that after I have my first meeting.” “But a lot of that territory when you look at what’s happened to those — there are cities that there is not a building standing. It’s a demolition site. There’s not a building standing,” Trump continued. “People can’t go back to those cities. There’s nothing there. It’s rubble.”. “It’s nice to say they want their land back, but the cities are largely destroyed,” he added. NBC News reported on Friday that Trump’s incoming national security team is engaged in talks with the Biden administration and Ukrainian leaders over pathways to end the war with Russia. It’s unlikely his comments on Monday will fuel confidence amongst Ukranians. Reports of an unusual amount of drones flying over New Jersey have unleashed a wave of speculation about their origin — and why the government hasn’t been able to provide an explanation. Trump said on Monday that the government knows what’s up, and is keeping it secret from the American public. “The government knows what is happening. Look, our military knows where they took off from — if it’s a garage they can go right into that garage — they know where it came from and where it went,” Trump said .

Even if they were late, they’d blast it. Something strange is going on. For some reason they don’t want to tell the people.” When asked whether he’d received an intelligence briefing on the drones himself, Trump said he didn’t want to comment.

2 Reasons to Buy British American Tobacco Stock at the End of 2024 and 2 Reasons to Avoid It for NowA MAN has revealed that he spent £1,000 and took eight hours of his time to give his home a festive makeover. But now, Harvey Wallace, who is from Shropshire , UK, has been left gutted, after Storm Darragh wreaked havoc with his Argos and B&Q display. Clearly very upset, Harvey took to social media to share his frustrations, leaving many open-mouthed. Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range , a public Facebook group with 608,600 members, Harvey shared a snap of his once stunning Christmas display, complete with lights, wreaths, a reindeer and three huge lit-up trees. However, he also shared images and a video of the damage caused by Storm Darragh - a rare red weather warning for strong winds, which have not only battered the UK but have even been fatal . Harvey cried: “There goes the outdoor display.” Alongside a crying emoji, he added: “Bear in mind everything was fully zip tied and floor pegged down. “This storm has still somehow managed to ruin everything and snap all the lights. “Such a shame after spending eight hours doing it all.” Not only have Harvey’s lights been broken, but his trees have fallen down on the pavement too. Harvey tried to look on the bright side of things, but opened up to Fabulous about the effort he put in to light up his home for the festive season. He told Fabulous: “We’ve built up a few items over the past couple of years adding to the collection of decorations. “I would say we’ve spent around £1,000 roughly.” He explained that he nabbed three eight foot trees, an archway garland and five smaller garlands, all from B&Q. This storm has still somehow managed to ruin everything and snap all the lights He also bought two wreaths from a local garden centre and purchased his large reindeer from The Range. He splashed the cash on 4,000 lights from Tesco, also nabbed a pack of icicle lights from B&Q and even stocked up on 1,000 lights from Argos.

One person said: “Oh no. It looked beautiful as well.” I wasn’t asking for sympathy and I totally get that there are many different issues in the world that are occurring at the moment Another added: “Terrible, has to be the worst yet.” A third commented: “This is awful, such a shame.” That's such a shame, I was going to decorate outside today but obviously not now the storms here At the same time, one angry woman penned: “So fed up with this weather. It spoils everything.” Whilst someone else chimed in: “Oh that's such a shame, I was going to decorate outside today but obviously not now the storms here.” Harvey later penned: “Fortunately, some things will be fixable but others aren’t. “1,000 lights on each tree isn’t a cheap replacement. “I think the large reindeer is possibly broken too.” Charlotte Harrington, the manager at Summerhill’s garden centre in Basildon, Essex, explained: “For many, many years now, we’ve opened our Christmas department on the August bank holiday. "The stock comes in early and we gradually start putting it out on the shop floor. This is just a small fraction of what we have. “But our Christmas displays are so spectacular it takes time to get everything set up, so we have to start early . “It may seem a little odd putting them out now — especially with the hot weather. “But we have to plan so far in advance.” He also added: “We were told it would be mild here but unfortunately they were wrong. “If we knew it was going to be this bad then we would’ve taken [them] down instantly, even though they took me over eight hours to put up. “It’s absolutely horrendous, the wind blowing is treacherous. “Hopefully tomorrow we’ll be able to salvage some items, can’t bear this wind.” Not only this, but Harvey further claimed: “I wasn’t asking for sympathy and I totally get that there are many different issues in the world that are occurring at the moment. “I was just simply sharing my experience of how our decorations have held up during this terrible weather.”
Shohei Ohtani wins 3rd AP Male Athlete of the Year award, tying Michael Jordan for 1 shy of record LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani has been named The Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for the third time. That ties the two-way superstar with Michael Jordan, an athlete Ohtani followed while growing up in Japan. He trails only Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods and LeBron James, who each won the award four times. Ohtani received 48 votes in balloting by 74 sports journalists from the AP and its members. He earned his third National League Most Valuable Player award after helping the Dodgers win their eighth World Series title. Ohtani hit 54 home runs and stole 59 bases as the first player with a 50-50 season. His dog, Decoy, became a celebrity, too, helping Ohtani deliver a ceremonial first pitch at a game. On Football: Falcons and Buccaneers flip spots atop the NFC South and playoff races tighten up The 49ers, Cowboys and Cardinals are out of the playoff race. The Falcons took control of their hopes and the Colts, Dolphins and Bengals kept slim chances alive. The NFL’s playoff picture became clearer Sunday. With two weeks remaining, three of eight division titles are secured, eight teams have wrapped up playoff berths and 11 more are competing for the six remaining spots. The biggest change in the standings occurred in the NFC South with Atlanta reclaiming the top spot from Tampa Bay. The Chiefs have the inside track for the AFC's No. 1 seed and the NFC's top spot could likely come down to the Vikings-Lions matchup in Week 18. Tennessee and Auburn remain 1-2 in AP Top 25 poll featuring 10 SEC teams Tennessee and Auburn remained Nos. 1-2 atop The Associated Press men’s college basketball poll. They were the headliners among the Southeastern Conference's haul of 10 ranked teams. Iowa State, Duke and Alabama rounded out the top five. Kentucky had the week's biggest fall, sliding six spots to No. 10 after a loss to Ohio State. Mississippi State, Arkansas, Illinois and Baylor rejoined the poll after stints in the rankings earlier this season. They replaced Memphis, Dayton, Michigan and Clemson. The Big 12 and Big Ten were tied for second with five teams each in the AP Top 25. USC up to No. 4 in women's AP Top 25 after win over UConn. UCLA, South Carolina, Notre Dame stay 1-3 Southern California jumped to No. 4 in The Associated Press women’s college basketball poll on Monday after edging UConn. The Trojans moved up three spots after beating the then-No. 4 Huskies 72-70 in a rematch of last season’s Elite Eight game that UConn won. UCLA, South Carolina and Notre Dame remained the top three teams. The Bruins received 30 of the 32 first-place votes from a national media panel. The Gamecocks and the Fighting Irish each got one first-place vote. UConn fell to seventh behind Texas and LSU. Maryland, Oklahoma and Ohio State rounded out the top 10 teams. Former NFL great Michael Vick introduced as Norfolk State’s football coach NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — Michael Vick has been introduced as Norfolk State’s football coach, a homecoming for the former NFL star and a splashy, attention-grabbing hire for a program that has struggled in recent years. Vick donned a Norfolk State letterman’s jacket and cap in front of a crowd of supporters that included fellow Hampton Roads, Virginia, sports greats Allen Iverson and Bruce Smith. Vick led Virginia Tech to the national championship game as a redshirt freshman and was selected No. 1 overall in the 2001 NFL draft by the Atlanta Falcons. His career was derailed by his conviction in 2007 for his involvement in a dogfighting ring. No. 1 Oregon and No. 8 Ohio State gear up for rematch of thriller won by Ducks Oregon and Ohio State have already produced one heck of a game this season. Now, the top-seeded Ducks and eighth-seeded Buckeyes are gearing up for a rematch more than 10 weeks later in a College Football Playoff quarterfinal game at the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. Of course, both teams have had ample time for evolution since that 32-31 Oregon win on Oct. 12. But they also have that game and players’ familiarity with each other, not to mention common opponents in the Big Ten. Penn State preparing for hard-charging Jeanty and Boise State in CFP quarterfinals STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State players have watched Ashton Jeanty make opponents look silly all season. They don’t want to be the next defenders Boise State’s star posterizes with jukes, spin moves, stiff arms and heavy shoulders. But they also know that slowing down Jeanty, who finished second in Heisman Trophy voting, will be their toughest task yet when the two teams meet in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31. Texas sues NCAA in latest push to block transgender athletes in women's sports AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued the NCAA to block the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports, arguing that it tricks and misleads fans. The lawsuit filed in state district court argues the NCAA violates the Texas Trade Practices Act. The law is designed to protect consumers from deceptive business practices. The lawsuit is the latest attempt by conservative politicians to target transgender athletes and push the NCAA into banning them from competition. NCAA President Charlie Baker recently told Congress he was aware of fewer than 10 active transgender athletes.

Sean Manaea to re-sign with Mets for $75 million over 3 years, AP source says NEW YORK (AP) — Sean Manaea is set to return to the New York Mets on a $75 million, three-year contract, according to a person familiar with the agreement. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was subject to a successful physical. Manaea blossomed into New York’s top starting pitcher this year during his first season with the team, going 12-6 with a 3.47 ERA in 32 starts. Then he became a free agent for the third straight offseason. The reunion with Manaea, who turns 33 on Feb. 1, gives New York a much-needed frontline starter to help complete its reconstructed rotation. Mets owner Steve Cohen has committed $916.25 million to five free agents this offseason — four of them starting pitchers.The Indiana Office of Technology and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) are expanding their partnership with Purdue University and Indiana University (IU) to safeguard an essential utility for state residents: water. The agencies and universities are broadening the scope of their program, adding utilities that manage water and wastewater services to help address vulnerabilities in these local government systems. Through the partnership, cybersecurity experts and students from and IU’s will evaluate the digital defenses of water and wastewater facilities. After conducting assessments, the team will provide a detailed road map for improving security, personalized to each facility’s needs. With the expansion, the program is now open to other non-local government agencies in the state. “Our partnership over the past two years with Purdue University and Indiana University has been incredibly beneficial to the nearly 100 local governments that have taken part in the cybersecurity assessments,” Tracy Barnes, Indiana state chief information officer, said in a . “Water facilities are frequently being targeted, and it’s important that we provide them with clear direction on how to improve their cybersecurity.” The initiative addresses : smaller utilities often lack the resources to develop and maintain comprehensive cybersecurity measures. With , the consequences of a successful breach could disrupt clean water access for entire communities, posing financial and public health risks. IDEM Commissioner Brian Rockensuess emphasized the importance of safeguarding public utility systems in a statement, calling on all water utilities to participate in the program. “We strongly encourage Indiana drinking water and wastewater utilities to take advantage of this opportunity. Safeguarding the integrity of public utility infrastructure is vital to ensuring safe, clean water for Hoosiers,” he said. The Cybertrack program was originally launched in 2022. It was designed to support local governments by originating a cybersecurity assessment methodology for them that incorporated frameworks like those from the and the . To date, nearly 100 assessments have been done on behalf of locals; plans are to complete at least 342 through 2026.

Western pressure drives Iran and Russia closerHumble ISD trustees will consider naming a lone finalist for the district’s vacant superintendent position on Dec. 17—less than a month after terminating former Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen’s contract. The details The specially called meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Dec. 17 at the district’s Board, Business & Technology Center, located at 20200 Eastway Village Drive, Humble. How we got here The meeting is coming roughly three weeks after trustees voted 6-1 in favor of formally terminating Fagen’s contract . In May, trustees voted 4-2 in favor of placing Fagen on paid administrative leave before voting 4-3 in July to propose the termination of her contract . Fagen initially appealed the board’s decision to the Texas Education Agency , which resulted in a three-day hearing held on Oct. 31, Nov. 1 and Nov. 6. While her initial appeal was unsuccessful, Fagen said she will now appeal the matter directly to TEA Commissioner Mike Morath. Deputy Superintendent Roger Brown has been serving as acting superintendent since Fagen was placed on paid leave. What’s next HISD Chief Communications Officer Jamie Mount said the board will need to wait at least 21 days after naming a finalist before trustees can vote to formally appoint a new superintendent.

Vaccines, Drones, and Suing the Media: Trump’s First Post-Election Presser Was WildPodcast powerhouse Joe Rogan says he is “genuinely concerned” about recent drone sightings in the tri-state area after an expert theory emerged. “This is the first video about these drones that has got me genuinely concerned,” Rogan said in reaction to a video posted by John Ferguson — the CEO of Saxon Unmanned, a Kansas-based company specializing in unmanned and autonomous remote system technologies — who shared his theory. “As a professional, as a subject matter expert, I wanted to give you all my opinion on what I think could be going on with these drones,” Ferguson said in his video posted to TikTok on Saturday, adding, “I don’t particularly believe that these have a nefarious intent.” Ferguson went on to remind viewers that “back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan had dismantled the nuclear program with Russia, and there were countless nuclear missiles that were disarmed and disposed of.” “Well, I believe there were over 80 nuclear warheads that were in Ukraine that came up missing,” the CEO added. “We don’t know where they are — and I speak with some pretty high-level government officials on this stuff.” Watch Below: A post shared by The JRE Companion (@thejrecompanion) “So, I spoke to a gentleman a few months ago who was trying to raise an alarm to the highest levels of our government — which, they had their ears closed — about this one particular nuclear warhead that he physically put his hands on,” Ferguson revealed. “He physically touched this warhead that was left over from Ukraine.” “He knew that that thing was headed towards the United States,” he added. “And everyone knows that the United States government — this administration — is pushing to get into a war with Russia.” Ferguson elaborated: Well, back up a few years: Do you all remember when those drones were mysteriously flying across the Interstate 70 corridor from Colorado, and up into Nebraska, down here into Kansas, and out into Missouri? Well, it was believed that those drones were looking for radioactive material, because there had been some material that came up missing here in the United States, and they felt like it was a high probability that the nuclear or the radioactive material would be taken along the Interstate 70 corridor, heading east or west or south. “So from what we understand, they were out there trying to find this radioactive material,” Ferguson said, adding that drones “have no reason to be in the air at night, unless you’re doing some type of ISR [intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance] work.” “There’s no reason for a drone to be flying at night, because they don’t see shit,” the CEO added. Ferguson went on to claim that the drones could be trying to “smell” a “gas leak” or “radioactive material” on the ground. “The only reason why you would ever fly an unmanned aircraft at night is if you’re looking for something,” he said. Ferguson said the if these are U.S. drones, “they are not nefarious intent,” and “the only reason why they would be flying, and flying that low, is because they’re trying to smell something on the ground.” “That’s it. There’s no other reason for a drone to be flying around the air [at night]. So my belief is they’re trying to smell something on the ground — gas leaks, radioactive material, whatever,” Ferguson stated. Elsewhere the CEO noted that the man he spoke with who was trying to “raise the alarm” that a “deadly weapon was on its way to the United States” had never received a response from the U.S. government. “This government did not do anything at all,” he said. “It left Europe, it’s out there, and now it’s gone.” Ferguson clarified to Breitbart News that his company is “not a government-backed agency for the USDOD [U.S. Department of Defense].” “We simply build aircraft for a larger defense contractor,” Ferguson said. “My message was just simply to provide a technical response to some of the concerns out there.” Alana Mastrangelo is a reporter for Breitbart News.
