A surge in mysterious drone sightings across New Jersey has sparked widespread concern, with former CIA operations officer Laura Ballman offering a chilling theory about their origin. During an interview with Fox News Live on Saturday, Ballman suggested the drones might be part of a “classified exercise” authorized by the Biden administration. Ballman questioned the lack of transparency from federal authorities and urged the government to provide more clarity. “Deducing the statements from [National Security spokesman] John Kirby that these drones are not operating illegally, coupled with several op-eds about the need to examine detection systems, makes me think perhaps this is actually a classified exercise to test either evasion technology or detection technology in urban areas,” she said. About the mysterious sightings The sightings began in mid-November, with drones reportedly hovering over critical establishments in northern New Jersey. Despite public concern, federal officials have downplayed the situation. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby confirmed that the drones were not operating illegally, and an FBI official called the fears “a slight overreaction” during a Saturday briefing. The FBI has reportedly received 5,000 tips related to drone activity, but only 100 have warranted investigation. Meanwhile, New Jersey Senator Andy Kim joined local police in investigating the sightings. Kim revealed that many reported drones were likely small planes, citing flight tracking data. Ballman acknowledged that if the drones were related to the CIA, it would be surprising, as the agency is not authorized to operate within U.S. borders. She stressed the need for the federal government to be more transparent about the incidents. Federal authorities, however, have dismissed the hysteria, stating they are working to trace the origin of the drones. For now, the mystery behind the sightings remains unsolved.

With the election of three new members this year, the Kansas State Board of Education is expected to focus more on conservative issues like the recognition of Trans students, books in the school library, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. Yet for all the publicity these issues receive, they do not really capture what the Kansas School Board does most of the time. There seems to be a bipartisan near-consensus behind the “career readiness” focus in schools. Such a focus undoubtedly has its advantages, but today it has become single-minded. Career readiness is crowding out vital civic education and extracurricular activities, to the detriment of students. It started out well. Curricula like the Olathe School District’s 21st Century programs have been designed to keep students focused, connecting their coursework to intended careers. These programs offer internships and other opportunities so students can make connections and experience a typical workday in their intended field. Such programs can be useful, keeping students motivated and equipping them with valuable skills. Unfortunately, today, things are running off the rails. Consider college preparation. Not all students wish to attend college, and they should not be pressured to do so. Yet many do set their sights on college, and today’s high school environment bombards them with opportunities — and expectations — to take college courses while still in high school. These include Advanced Placement (AP) courses, in which students prepare for standardized tests, and dual enrollment courses, in which the high school teacher is also an adjunct faculty member at a local community college or university. Another option is Early College Admission (ECA), in which students are bussed from high school to an area college or university. Cramming in as many of these early college courses as possible displaces vital high school experiences like civic education and extracurricular activities. With students’ anxiety already running sky-high, adding this additional pressure only makes things worse, throwing the students’ lives out of balance and crowding out opportunities to do things they enjoy, like sports, debate, and drama. It also limits their opportunities to make friends face to face, so they turn to social media instead.Hindi played important role in development of India: Om Birla
President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan. 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk.

Stock futures were calm on Sunday evening, with Dow riding a seven-day losing streak into a week highlighted by a key central bank meeting. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average ticked up 31 points, or less than 0.1%. S&P 500 futures were also up less than 0.1%. Nasdaq 100 futures dipped by less than 0.1%. The stock market is coming off a sluggish week. The Dow lost 1.8% last week and has lost ground in each of the last seven sessions. The S&P 500 dipped 0.64%, and has retreated in four of the past five sessions. The Nasdaq Composite outperformed, grinding out a gain of 0.34% for the week. After a broad rally following President-elect Donald Trump's November win, the stock market appears to have reverted to a narrow tech-led move in recent days. "The breadth that we're seeing is really starting to dissipate a bit. It's becoming a much more concentrated rally within a few names. And I don't know how long that can sustain, but there's a chance that carries forward through at least the end of the year," Joe Mazzola, Charles Schwab's head trading and derivatives strategist, said on Friday's " Closing Bell: Overtime ." The main draw of this week is the Federal Open Market Committee's meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, when Federal Reserve officials are widely expected to lower the benchmark interest rate again. On Monday, investors will get some updated economic data, with preliminary purchasing managers index readings due out before the bell. And on the individual stock level, shares of MicroStrategy could be on the move after the bitcoin proxy was announced as a new addition to the Nasdaq 100 index.

Central Committee on Counter-Terrorism meeting 2024 heldNEW YORK , Dec. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of ordinary shares of ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ: ASML) between January 24, 2024 and October 15, 2024 , both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important January 13, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. So what: If you purchased ASML ordinary shares during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. What to do next: To join the ASML class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31159 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 13 , 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the issues being faced by suppliers, like ASML, in the semiconductor industry were much more severe than defendants had indicated to investors; (2) the pace of recovery of sales in the semiconductor industry was much slower than defendants had publicly acknowledged; (3) defendants had created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to customer demand and anticipated growth, while also downplaying risk from macroeconomic and industry fluctuations, as well as stronger regulations restricting the export of semiconductor technology, including the products that ASML sells; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about ASML's business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
