In the wake of a successful effort to kill a year-end spending bill and replace it with more limited legislation to keep the government open, Elon Musk declared victory on X (formerly Twitter), the social media platform he owns: “Your actions turned a bill that weighed pounds into a bill that weighed ounces!” he crowed. “You are the media now. VOX POPULI VOX DEI.” The stopgap funding measure will largely delay major spending decisions until after Donald Trump’s inauguration, keep the government open through the holidays and at least temporarily delay the most indefensible spending that was crammed into the scale-tipping bill. But those who believe the indefensible spending won’t end up back in the budget are endearingly optimistic. The most interesting political takeaway from the drama is that the Republican Party now has two masters with different goals. Musk’s stated mission was to impose fiscal restraint and greater efficiency on government (though his unstated motives are a matter of speculation). Trump’s objective was to avoid the hassles of a debate over raising the government borrowing limit early in his term, freeing him to rack up more debt through spending and tax cuts. Based purely on the political result, Musk won and Trump lost. While the bill does spend less than the earlier version, it does not raise the debt ceiling. A case can be made for both goals. I think Musk is indisputably correct about the need to cut spending. And although I don’t want Trump to be able to amass more debt, fights over the borrowing limit are reckless because they put the full faith and credit of the United States in doubt. The challenge for Republican legislators is that they are caught between the agendas of two figures who are very popular on the right, and those agendas — and perhaps others — are in conflict. We’ll have to wait to see how the politics play out. In the meantime, I want to address the more philosophical problems with Musk’s position. First of all, literally weighing the value or profligacy of a piece of legislation by the ounce, as Musk proposes, is not exactly logical. The National Industrial Recovery Act — the foundational legislation of the New Deal — comes in at an economical 18 pages, but that hardly gives one a sense of its massive impact on the economy. Then there’s the idea that Musk’s minor budget victory proves his X followers are “the media now.” Huh? The standard conservative complaint about traditional national media is that they mislead the public in the service of an ideological or self-serving agenda. Musk rallied his virtual mob with a host of false claims about the bigger-spending bill. Now he is suggesting that misleading the public in the service of the agenda of the owner of a media platform is a glorious triumph. It’s certainly a triumph for if-you-can’t-beat-them-join-them hypocrisy. Lastly, Musk’s oft-repeated motto “Vox populi, vox dei” — “The voice of the people is the voice of God” — is theological nonsense. Its use by British Whigs to challenge monarchical power in the 18th century was politically defensible, but it doesn’t take a divinity degree to understand that, taken literally, the phrase argues that God is subservient to the passions and vicissitudes of public opinion. It’s very difficult to find anything in the Old or New Testament to back up that idea. If a poll were all it took to change God’s mind, Sodom and Gomorrah would have been fine, Noah wouldn’t have needed a boat, and Jesus wouldn’t have had to ask God to “forgive them, for they know not what they do.” One of the earliest mentions of the Latin phrase is found in the writings of Alcuin of York, an adviser to Charlemagne. Alcuin told the first holy Roman emperor to ignore such declarations of public godliness “since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.” Musk started using the phrase “Vox populi, vox dei” to validate the verdicts of his own Twitter polls. When users voted to reinstate Trump’s account two years ago, Musk declared that the result he clearly wanted amounted to a divine statement. We can only guess what this says about Musk’s God complex and its compatibility with his role as Trump’s Alcuin. But my main objection to Musk’s assertion is that it’s a dangerous lie. The idea that the largest mob has God on its side is even more pernicious than the notion that legislation should be measured in pounds.

BOSTON — Forty years ago, Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie rolled to his right and threw a pass that has become one of college football’s most iconic moments. With Boston College trailing defending champion Miami, Flutie threw the Hail Mary and found receiver Gerard Phalen, who made the grab while falling into the end zone behind a pair of defenders for a game-winning 48-yard TD. Flutie and many of his 1984 teammates were honored on the field during BC’s 41-21 victory over North Carolina before the second quarter on Saturday afternoon, the anniversary of the Eagles’ Miracle in Miami. “There’s no way its been 40 years,” Flutie told The Associated Press on the sideline a few minutes before he walked out with some of his former teammates to be recognized after a video of The Play was shown on the scoreboards. A statue commemorating Doug Flutie's famed "Hail Mary" pass during a game against Miami on Nov. 23, 1994, sits outside Alumni Stadium at Boston College. Famous football plays often attain a legendary status with religious names like the "Immaculate Reception," the "Hail Mary" pass and the Holy Roller fumble. It’s a moment and highlight that’s not only played throughout decades of BC students and fans, but around the college football world. “What is really so humbling is that the kids 40 years later are wearing 22 jerseys, still,” Flutie said of his old number. “That amazes me.” That game was played on national TV the Friday after Thanksgiving. The ironic thing is it was originally scheduled for earlier in the season before CBS paid Rutgers to move its game against Miami, thus setting up the BC-Miami post-holiday matchup. Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie rejoices in his brother Darren's arms after B.C. defeats Miami with a last second touchdown pass on Nov. 23, 1984, in Miami. “It shows you how random some things are, that the game was moved,” Flutie said. “The game got moved to the Friday after Thanksgiving, which was the most watched game of the year. We both end up being nationally ranked and up there. All those things lent to how big the game itself was, and made the pass and the catch that much more relevant and remembered because so many people were watching.” There’s a statue of Flutie winding up to make The Pass outside the north gates at Alumni Stadium. Fans and visitors can often be seen taking photos there. “In casual conversation, it comes up every day,” Flutie said, when asked how many times people bring it up. “It brings a smile to my face every time we talk about it.” A week after the game-ending Flutie pass, the Eagles beat Holy Cross and before he flew off to New York to accept the Heisman. They went on to win the 49th Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day. Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie evades Miami defensive tackle Kevin Fagan during the first quarter of a game on Nov. 23, 1984, in Miami, Fla. “Forty years seem almost like incomprehensible,” said Phalen, also standing on the sideline a few minutes after the game started. “I always say to Doug: ‘Thank God for social media. It’s kept it alive for us.”’ Earlier this week, current BC coach Bill O’Brien, 55, was asked if he remembered where he was 40 years ago. “We were eating Thanksgiving leftovers in my family room,” he said. “My mom was saying a Rosary in the kitchen because she didn’t like Miami and wanted BC to win. My dad, my brother and I were watching the game. “It was unbelievable,” he said. “Everybody remembers where they were for the Hail Mary, Flutie pass.” Mike Tyson, left, slaps Jake Paul during a weigh-in ahead of their heavyweight bout, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, in Irving, Texas.

German auto supplier Bosch to cut 5,500 jobs in further sign of auto industry woes

Shares of diversified insurance services provider Kemper Corp. have risen 2.2% in the past week, with the firm receiving a price target revision from analyst firm Raymond James on Thursday, lifting retail sentiment. Raymond James raised the firm's price target to $82 from $75 with a Strong Buy rating as part of its 2025 outlook note for the insurance firm, the Fly.com reported. According to the firm, the near-term outlook of increasingly stable inflationary pressures, economic growth, and slowing price increases in the property and casualty industry will temper organic revenue growth rates for most companies over the next 24 months. The firm also expects most companies to continue to report elevated returns despite potential negative near-term pricing headlines. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits was ‘extremely bullish’ compared to ‘bullish’ a month ago. Message volumes increased to ‘extremely high’ zone. In November, its board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.31 per share, payable on December 4, 2024, to its shareholders of record as of November 18, 2024. For its third quarter, the firm reported net income of $73.7 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $146.3 million, or $2.28 loss per share, for the third quarter of 2023. Kemper provides specialized insurance services, including life and health insurance, operating through its specialty property and casualty insurance and life insurance segments. With approximately $13 billion in assets, its Kemper Auto and Kemper Life brands, serve over 4.8 million policies, represented by 22,200 agents and brokers, and 7,500 associates.

PRESIDENT Joe Biden's final freebie vacation of his term in office has sparked outrage as he prepares to leave the White House an unpopular and diminished statesman. The outgoing Commander-in-Chief, 82, arrived on Thursday in the Caribbean resort of Saint Croix - part of the U.S. Virgin Islands - for a last vacation before he prepares to leave office. Biden , First Lady Jill Biden, and daughter Ashley were filmed disembarking Air Force One for a post-Christmas sunny getaway. From the tiny airport, they were whisked away in a presidential motorcade to the beachfront villa of Bill and Connie Neville, two wealthy business managers and prominent Democratic donors. Biden previously spent New Year's Day at the couple's Caribbean home in 2023 and also hosted them at a state dinner in 2022. Wearing a black baseball cap, the outgoing president appeared stony-faced as he made his way to his waiting vehicle. READ MORE ON JOE BIDEN The Nevilles run the US Viking software company, which makes an online content platform called ENPS marketed by The Associated Press and used by various news outlets. It is the latest of Biden's stays at the home of wealthy backers, drawing accusations of ethics violations. Previously, the Bidens reportedly asked Maria Allwin, the widow of a prominent hedge fund operator, if they could use her vacation mansion in Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Biden also spent four Thanksgiving-week stays at billionaire private equity titan David Rubenstein’s compound in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Most read in The US Sun This September, President Biden spoke at a lunch hosted by Rubenstein in Washington. The previous month, Biden’s family spent five days for free at the sprawling California ranch of medical technology billionaire Joe Kiani. Kiani has received substantial government contracts during the Biden administration and has been appointed by the president to an advisory board. Both moves have sparked outrage from Republicans. Biden has also been slammed for avoiding the media or scrutiny from opposition as he brings an end to his 50-year political career. “He’s been disappeared for a long time," GOP strategist Doug Heye told The Hill . "We saw him go to Africa, didn’t take any questions that anybody could see, and was largely shielded from the press." Democrats have also expressed frustration as Biden's term looks to go out with a whimper. "There’s just such a great level of sort of disappointment on the way this presidency is ending," one Democratic lobbyist said. "It’s almost like a resignation at this point." Read More on The US Sun Instead, Trump has been able to dominate the media spotlight, through a series of colorful cabinet appointees as well as some high-profile public appearances. As Biden's legacy looks tarnished forever, attention has shifted to Trump who is making presidential statements weeks before he takes office.The iPhone 16 still feels fresh, but there are already rumblings and whispers about what to expect from the iPhone 17. Apple may shake up its iPhone lineup yet again next year with the introduction of a new type of iPhone referred to as the iPhone 17 Slim , according to analysts and reports from tech business news outlet The Information and Bloomberg . If true, the shift would be the latest design change Apple has made to its smartphone family in the last four years, coming after it introduced the now-extinct "Mini" and " Plus "-sized iPhones in previous years. Apple also may not be alone; Samsung is rumored to be developing a thinner version of the Galaxy S25 next year too, according to ETNews . With the rumored iPhone 17 Slim, Apple appears to be focusing on aesthetics above all else, reports and rumors indicate. As the name implies, the iPhone 17's thinness is expected to be its main draw, unlike the Pro models that rely more heavily on camera quality and processing power to distinguish themselves from Apple's standard iPhones. Apple took a similar approach with the 2024 iPad Pro, which the company flaunts as being its thinnest product ever . The iPhone Plus variants, which Apple launched with the iPhone 14 lineup as a larger-sized base model option, may be phased out in favor of this new iPhone 17 Slim in 2025, says TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo . This suggests Apple is looking for new ways to get generate hype around its non-Pro iPhones, coming after its premium Pro options have been outshining sales of the regular iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, according to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners. "The once flagship, now base iPhone 15, is no longer the leading-edge choice, as the Pro and Pro Max models take that role," wrote CIRP's Michael Levin and Josh Lowitz in a report shared with CNET in May, before the iPhone 16 launch. Apple did not respond to a request for comment regarding reports about the iPhone 17 Slim when this story was originally published. With the absence of a foldable phone , the iPhone 17 Slim could be a clever way for Apple to get customers excited about the iPhone's design again. Here's what we know about it so far. Read more : Apple Intelligence Early Review: Don't Expect Your iPhone to Feel Radically Different iPhone 17 Slim release date and price If Apple does release a slimmer new iPhone, it will likely do so in 2025 as part of the iPhone 17 lineup, say reports from Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu and co-founder and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants Ross Young (as reported by 9to5Mac ). Kuo , Bloomberg and The Information have reported similar findings. Bloomberg predicts this model could essentially be the iPhone version of the original MacBook Air. Even though Apple may cut the iPhone Plus from its lineup, don't expect the iPhone 17 Slim to be a direct replacement, says Kuo. Instead, it's meant to be a new variant entirely rather than another flavor of the base iPhone. The Information reports that it could even be more expensive than the $1,200 iPhone Pro Max. iPhone 17 Slim to get smaller display with higher refresh rate The iPhone 17 Slim may have a 6.6-inch screen, which would make it slightly smaller than the iPhone Plus and iPhone Pro Max, according to the analysts Pu and Kuo . But it will reportedly have Apple's ProMotion technology for boosting the refresh rate up to 120Hz, which makes scrolling smoother, MacRumors reports , citing Pu. Korean tech news site The Elec also reported that the display technology used for the entire iPhone 17 series, which would presumably include the base model and the rumored Slim, will be capable of supporting higher refresh rates like the current Pro devices. Both analysts also foresee changes to the iPhone 17 Slim's materials too, with Pu saying the iPhone 17 Slim (along with the base and Pro model) will be made of a "more complex" aluminum material and Kuo reporting the iPhone 17 Slim will have a "titanium-aluminum alloy metal frame." Apple introduced a new polished aluminum finish for the Apple Watch Series 10 , so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to see a fresh type of aluminum for a new style of iPhone. The cutout for the Dynamic Island is expected to remain the same size, say both analysts. Read more: I Tried the iPhone 16's New Visual Intelligence, and It Feels Like the Future iPhone 17 Slim may have just one main camera Apple might make a bold choice with the iPhone 17 Slim's camera. The company's superslim iPhone may only have one main wide camera, reports Kuo , meaning it would lack the ultrawide and telephoto lenses that have been staples within Apple's premium iPhone lineup for years. The only device in Apple's current crop of iPhones to come with one rear camera is the $429 iPhone SE . If true, the move would further underscore that Apple is truly focusing on design above all else with the iPhone 17 Slim, hoping to attract users that want an iPhone that feels new and different rather than one with a souped-up camera. The choice to include just one rear camera would also likely help Apple maintain a trim build without raising the price too high. After all, camera modules, with their sensors and lens elements, can take up quite a bit of space. All iPhone 17 models, including the Slim, will get an upgraded 24-megapixel selfie camera, Pu reports . Read more : Apple and Samsung Have Different Visions of AI for Our Phones iPhone 17 Slim processor and other specs The iPhone 17 Slim will likely get other upgrades you'd expect with a new phone, such as a new version of Apple's mobile processor. Pu's report suggests Apple could put an A18 or A19-branded chip in the iPhone 17 Slim, which would reportedly match the chip inside the regular iPhone 17. Other internal components for the iPhone 17 Slim could include 8GB of RAM and an Apple-developed 5G modem, which has been the subject of speculation ever since Apple acquired the majority of Intel's smartphone modem business in 2019. What I'm most curious about, however, is the iPhone 17 Slim's battery. Sleeker designs mean less space for internal components, so I'm hoping that battery life isn't the consequence of a significantly thinner design. However, Apple may not have room for a physical SIM slot, according to The Information. That likely won't impact US buyers since Apple removed the SIM tray starting with the iPhone 14 lineup, but it could be critical for other markets like China. Either way, it's all speculation until Apple announces the iPhone 17 Slim -- if it does at all. But if the reports turn out to be true, the iPhone 17 Slim could signal a turning point for the iPhone, indicating that camera upgrades may no longer be the most exciting or significant annual change.

AP Trending SummaryBrief at 6:06 p.m. ESTTony Osburn scores 23 points to lead Omaha past Lamar 65-59 in Akron Basketball ClassicLSU outlasts UCF 109-102 in triple-OT affairBy Stephen Culp and Alden Bentley NEW YORK (Reuters) -Wall Street closed mixed on Thursday and the U.S. benchmark Treasury yield eased after scaling the highest level since May in light, directionless post-Christmas trading. The dollar was flat, crude oil fell, and gold rose. The three U.S. stock indexes were all nearly unchanged, paring mild early declines and interrupting what looked early this week like a nascent “Santa Claus rally,” in which shares get a seasonal boost from low liquidity, tax-loss harvesting and investment of year-end bonuses. With only a handful of trading days remaining in the year, the Nasdaq, S&P 500 and the Dow have scored respective gains of 33%, 26% and 14% in 2024. The major concerns for 2025 are the extent of the Fed’s monetary easing, Trump’s tariffs and other policies, and various geopolitical tensions. New U.S. claims for unemployment benefits dipped to the lowest in a month last week, consistent with a cooling but still-healthy U.S. labor market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.07% to 43,325.80, the S&P 500 fell 0.04% to 6,037.59 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.05% to 20,020.357. “It’s light volume and now we are recovering some earlier losses due to some profit taking from Tuesday’s rally,” said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York. “I think we’re in the Santa Claus rally, with a little bit of a bump in the road here today, and it’s probably safe to say the year-end rally will continue.” MSCI’s gauge of stocks across the globe rose 0.06%, appearing on course to wrap up the year with a second consecutive annual gain of more than 17%, unfazed by escalating geopolitical tensions and economic headwinds. Japan’s Nikkei rose 1.12%. MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 0.14% lower but remained on track for a weekly gain. European markets were closed for a second straight day on Thursday while London traders got Boxing Day off. The Federal Reserve’s less dovish messaging about lowering rates further next year, weighed on Treasuries and helped elevate the 10-year yield to its highest since early May. It peaked at 4.641, gaining steadily from around 4.10% early this month. “We’re probably on the way to 4.75% to 5.0% on the 10-year note and the reason for that is that the bond market is full of uncertainties, while the stock market is full of enthusiasm,” Cardillo said. “The bond market is projecting a hawkish Fed going into probably the first half of the year.” Strong interest in a Treasury auction of seven-year notes spilled over in the afternoon, nudging the benchmark yield back down to 4.581%, down 0.6 basis point from late Tuesday. The 2-year note yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations, was flat at 4.33%. Likewise the dollar index, a basket of six currencies heavily weighted by the euro and yen, loosely tracked bond yields to stand unchanged late Thursday. The euro went up 0.15% to $1.042 and dollar/yen was up 0.38% at 158.00, having hit the highest since mid July at 158.08. Oil gave up earlier gains due to China stimulus hopes and an industry report showing lower U.S. inventories. U.S. crude fell 0.7% to $69.61 a barrel and Brent fell to $73.22 per barrel, down 0.49% on the day. Gold advanced on safe-haven demand as investors awaited further signals on the U.S. economy’s health. Spot gold rose 0.79% to $2,633.77 an ounce. U.S. gold futures rose 0.3% to $2,627.90 an ounce. In cryptocurrencies, bitcoin fell 3.14% to $95,334.00. Ethereum declined 4.42% to $3,311.70.

Membership of Britain's upstart anti-immigration Reform UK party has overtaken that of the centre-right Conservative Party for the first time, the party said Thursday, as Tories disputed the numbers. Party leader and Brexit figurehead Nigel Farage hailed the figure as a "historic moment". Immigration was a major issue at the ballot box at the UK's July general election which saw the Conservatives ousted after 14 years in power. The digital counter on the Reform website showed a membership tally ticking past the 131,680 figure declared by the main opposition Conservatives during its leadership election earlier this year. "The youngest political party in British politics has just overtaken the oldest political party in the world," wrote Farage on X. "Reform UK are now the real opposition." Party chairman Zia Yusuf said the milestone showed the long "stranglehold on the centre-right of British politics by the Tories has finally been broken". The last declared Conservative Party tally was the lowest on record and a drop on 2022, when there were around 172,000 members. New Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch, however, questioned the figures, accusing Farage of "fakery". She said Reform's counter was "coded to tick up automatically". Farage responded by saying he would "gladly invite" a firm to "audit our membership numbers" if the Tories did the same. Reform won five seats in the 650-seat UK parliament in July, though it received roughly 14 percent of total votes cast. Reform maximised the damage to the Conservatives by splitting the right-wing vote and picking up former Tory supporters in key constituencies. The Labour Party won by a landslide although Prime Minister Keir Starmer has had a bumpy first five months in power. An Ipsos opinion poll this month found that 53 percent of Britons said they were "disappointed" in what the Labour government had achieved so far. British politics has been dominated by the two main parties -- Labour and the Conservatives -- for decades but commentators have warned that major parties have seen irreversible downturns in their popularity in the past. In the years after World War I, a divided Liberal Party found itself supplanted by the Labour Party as the main opposition. The party of 19th-century political giant William Gladstone and World War I leader David Lloyd George never again regained its status as a party of government. Farage, a supporter of US President-elect Donald Trump, said earlier this month that he was in talks with tech billionaire Elon Musk about donating to his hard-right party. har/jsCharles Schwab Investment Management Inc. boosted its position in shares of Range Resources Co.
