Tulsa fires coach Kevin Wilson after loss to South FloridaPatiala/Chandigarh/Amritsar: Amid chants of ‘Inquilab Zindabad’, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday took out a ‘Shukrana Yatra’ (thanksgiving procession) from Patiala to Amritsar as a gesture of gratitude to the people for the party’s victory at three of the four assembly seats where byelections were held recently. With this, the party also signalled the beginning of a focused campaign for the 2027 Punjab assembly elections, said a party spokesperson, adding that the yatra was a demonstration of AAP’s growing influence and people’s support to its vision. AAP Punjab volunteers will on Wednesday organise a similar procession from Amritsar to Batala. AAP Punjab president and state minister Aman Arora led the procession, which began after party leaders paid obeisance at Shri Kali Mata Mandir in Patiala at 9am. Arora said AAP had grown from strength to strength. “This journey, led by Arvind Kejriwal and supported by every AAP worker, has been one of integrity, transparency, and commitment to the people,” he said. The procession passed through Gobindgarh, Samrala, Doraha, Sahnewal, Ludhiana, Phagwara, Jalandhar, Kartarpur and Rayia. Earlier, in Patiala, a large number of workers along with local leadership reached the venue. In Amritsar, the procession made its way towards Harmandir Sahib, Durgiana Mandir, and concluded at Bhagwan Valmiki Tirath Asthan and Ram Tirath Mandir in Amritsar. In Amritsar, Arora said AAP is a family first and then a political party. During the procession, he was joined by AAP state working president Amansher Singh Shery Kalsi, ministers Harpal Singh Cheema, Harjot Singh Bains and Tarunpreet Singh Sondh, assembly speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan, AAP MLAs, chairpersons, and thousands of supporters. The procession also coincided with the foundation day of AAP. Sherry Kalsi said: “The Shukrana Yatra is a celebration of the trust the people have placed in us. As a party, we are dedicated to fulfilling the promises we’ve made to the people.” We also published the following articles recently Born on Constitution Day, AAP is a party of people: Kejriwal Celebrating its 13th Foundation Day, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) reaffirmed its commitment to honest governance and cleaning up the system. Arvind Kejriwal highlighted the 'Delhi model' as proof of their success, emphasizing its focus on public welfare and budget surpluses. He also lauded the party's resilience despite facing challenges and the imprisonment of key leaders. Minister Aman Arora replaces CM Bhagwant Mann as president of AAPs Punjab unit Aman Arora, a prominent Hindu leader, has been appointed as Punjab's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) president, replacing Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Batala MLA Amansher Singh Shery Kalsi will serve as working president. This strategic move aims to broaden the party's appeal, particularly among Hindu voters, and counter the BJP's growing influence. Delhi Congress chief targets AAP govt, BJP at Nyay Yatra Delhi Congress chief Devendra Yadav criticized the AAP government's decade-long failure to address fundamental issues like water quality, electricity bills, and ration card delays. During the 'Nyay Yatra,' Yadav interacted with villagers facing land acquisition and regularization challenges, echoing concerns about unfulfilled promises by both AAP and BJP.

Despite a resounding defeat at the hands of Ronald Reagan in 1980, the Democrat forged a new path promoting causes such as electoral probity abroad, social justice and drives to rid the world of medical conditions. His first foreign visit as president was to the UK where then prime minister James Callaghan, as well as the usual visits in London, took his guest to the North East with a visit to Newcastle, Sunderland and Washington – the village bearing the name of the first ever president. Mr Carter delighted crowds in the North East by saying “Howay the lads” during a speech to the assembled throng. He also received a miner’s lamp from 12-year-old Ian McEree in Washington. The 39th US president also carried out more traditional presidential duties, including meetings with western European leaders during his time in London while the Cold War was still ongoing. The practising Baptist continued his globetrotting ways after leaving power, even without Air Force One as his vehicle. He was also part of the Elders, a group of experienced statesmen and women drawn from all corners of the world.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It's DOGE time at the U.S. Capitol. Billionaire Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy arrived Thursday on Capitol Hill meeting with legislators behind closed doors about President-elect Donald Trump's plans to “dismantle” the federal government. Trump tapped the two business titans to head his Department of Government Efficiency , tasked with firing federal workers , cutting government programs and slashing federal regulations — all part of what he calls his "Save America" agenda for a second term in the White House. “We're going to see a lot of change around here in Washington,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson , as Musk, with a small child on his shoulders, breezed by and into the private meeting. Washington has seen this before, with ambitious efforts to reduce the size and scope of the federal government that historically have run into resistance when the public is confronted with cuts to trusted programs that millions of Americans depend on for jobs, health care, military security and everyday needs. But this time Trump is staffing his administration with battle-tested architects of sweeping proposals, some outlined in Project 2025 , to severely reduce and reshape the government. Musk and Ramaswamy said they plan to work alongside the White House's Office of Management and Budget, headed by Trump's nominee Russ Vought, a mastermind of past cuts . “DOGE has a historic opportunity for structural reductions in the federal government,” Musk and Ramaswamy wrote in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal . “We are prepared for the onslaught.” The duo, invited for what Johnson called a “brainstorming” session as they begin this “journey” together, face a first test in private with House and Senate lawmakers — some eager to hear what they have in mind. “I am fired up to go out and do something,” said Rep. Aaron Bean, R-Fla., who joined with Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, in launching what they are calling the DOGE caucus in the House, with more than 50 Republicans and two Democratic members. Bean said the DOGE caucus will unveil an email tip line where people can report wasteful spending. He also envisions a scoreboard of sorts that people can view on a website showing “how many positions we’ve cut, agencies we’ve cut, what the actual number is.” In the Senate, Sens. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa and Rick Scott, R-Fla., have launched a similar caucus. “I think that’ll be a great start to the whole process,” said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who will chair a House Oversight subcommittee in the new year as part of “building the bridge between Congress and DOGE.” While neither Musk nor Ramaswamy have much public service experience, they bring track records in private business — Musk's operations have vast government contracts — and enthusiasm for Trump's agenda, having campaigned alongside him in the final stretch of the election. The world's richest man, Musk poured millions into a get-out-the-vote effort to help the former president return to the White House. He is known politically for having transformed the popular social media site formerly known as Twitter into X, a platform embraced by Trump's MAGA enthusiasts. Despite its name, the Department of Government Efficiency is neither a department nor part of the government, which frees Musk and Ramaswamy from having to go through the typical ethics and background checks required for federal employment. They said they will not be paid for their work. One good-government group has said that DOGE, as a presidential advisory panel, should be expected to adhere to traditional practices of transparency, equal representation and public input — as happened with similar advisory entities from the Reagan to the Obama administrations. The Federal Advisory Committee Act “is designed expressly for situations like this," wrote Lisa Gilbert and Robert Weissman, the co-chairs of Public Citizen in a letter to the Trump transition team. "If the government is going to turn to unelected and politically unaccountable persons to make recommendations as grand as $2 trillion in budget cuts, it must ensure those recommendations come from a balanced and transparent process not rigged to benefit insiders.” The nation's $6 trillion federal budget routinely runs a deficit, which this year ran $1.8 trillion, a historic high, according to the Congressional Budget Office. It has not been balanced since the Clinton administration more than two decades ago. Republicans generally blame what they see as exorbitant spending for the deficit, while Democrats point to tax cuts enacted under Republican presidents Trump and George W. Bush as the major driver. Receipts last year as a percentage of gross domestic product came in just below the average for the past 50 years, while outlays were equal to 23.4% of GDP, compared to the 50-year average of 21.1% Some of the biggest increases in spending last year occurred with politically popular programs that lawmakers will be reticent to touch. For example, spending on Social Security benefits went up 8%, Medicare outlays increased 9%, spending on defense went up 7% and spending on veterans health care rose 14%, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said he would like to see Musk testify before the House Armed Services Committee on the “bloated defense budget.” “I’d like to see Elon recommend some cuts. Let’s have him testify,” Khanna said. He said he’s open to hearing proposals on non-defense spending, but was skeptical. “If they find waste, maybe, but in terms of big numbers, I mean, no one is going to allow for cutting education funding for special needs kids and for low-income schools, or for cutting Social Security and Medicare,” Khanna said. “If they want to do that, they’re going to hand us a landslide in 2026.”None
Westchester Soccer Club Debuts New Home Kit to Kick Off Upcoming SeasonRecession-Proofing Your Portfolio With Gold
NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Down by two shots with two holes to play, Jeeno Thitikul knew exactly what was needed to capture the biggest prize in women's golf history. And another eagle-birdie finish — for the second straight day — made it happen. Thitikul claimed the record-setting $4 million first-place check by winning the CME Group Tour Championship on Sunday. It's the biggest money prize in women’s golf history, bigger than even the winner’s shares in three of the four men’s major championships this year. Her plans for all that cash? “Definitely spend it,” Thitikul said. “That's an honest answer, for sure. Definitely going to spend it for a little while.” Thitikul shot a 7-under 65 on Sunday and finished the week at 22 under, one shot ahead of Angel Yin (66). Yin had a two-shot lead walking to the 17th tee, only to wind up settling for the $1 million runner-up check. Yin — who missed the start of the season after breaking her leg over the winter — hardly sounded defeated after finishing second and more than doubling her 2024 earnings in four days. “I’m pretty awesome. ... I’ve learned that I just need to believe my myself and that’s what I did," Yin said. Olympic gold medalist Lydia Ko (63) finished third at 17 under, her nine birdies coming in a 13-hole span. “I’m excited to be able to work hard this offseason and have another great 2025,” Ko said. The win and the massive check came down to the 18th hole, Thitikul and Yin tied at 21 under after a back-and-forth day atop the leaderboard — both knowing a mistake would likely come with a $3 million cost. They both hit the fairway on 18. Thitikul's approach was nearly perfect, stopping about 5 feet from the cup. Yin's response stopped maybe 15 feet away, giving Thitikul the edge as they walked up the fairway. Yin's birdie putt just missed. Thitikul's was dead center. And history was hers. She already had clinched a $1 million bonus this week through the Aon Risk-Reward Challenge, a competition based on how players score on a designated hole each week. In the end, it wound up as a whopping $5 million week for the 21-year-old from Thailand — and going 8 under over the four days on the Nos. 17 and 18 at Tiburon Golf Club made it happen. “All the hard work paid off,” Thitikul said. Yin and Thitikul were tied for the lead entering the final round at 15 under. It didn’t take long for Thitikul to jump in front, with birdies on two of the first three holes to grab a two-shot edge. Her lead vanished on the par-4 fourth; Yin made birdie, Thitikul bogey and just like that they were tied again. It seemed like Yin seized some sort of control on the par-3 16th. Her birdie putt from across the green — about 25 feet — rolled in for a two-shot lead with two holes to play. But her second shot at the par-5 17th missed the green right, and the door was opened for Thitikul. The eagle-birdie finish Saturday left Thitikul tied for the lead. The eagle-birdie finish Sunday made Thitikul a winner like none other in women’s golf. “Actually, I don’t know what’s happened to me on 17 and 18,” Thitikul said. “Having eagle is more than I can ask for.” Ruoning Yin (68) was alone in fourth at 16 under, and LPGA player of the year Nelly Korda (66) finished at 15 under along with Narin An (68). Ayaka Furue finished at 13 under, good enough to give her the Vare Trophy as the LPGA’s season-long scoring champion over Haeran Ryu. Lexi Thompson — a 15-time winner as a pro who plans to step away from full-time golf — finished at 2 under. It’s not clear how often Thompson plans to play in 2025 and beyond; that said, she returns to Tiburon the week of Dec. 9 for the Grant Thornton Invitational, where she’ll team with Rickie Fowler in the event featuring PGA Tour and LPGA Tour players. “I’m not going anywhere, guys.” Thompson said. “I’ll be back in two weeks.” There were two players who said they were retiring after Sunday’s round: Marina Alex, who shot 66 to finish at 12 under, and Ally Ewing, who closed with a 68 to wrap up the week at 11 under. “I’m happy to have ended on my best,” said Alex, a bottle of sparkling wine in her right hand, a bouquet of flowers in the other. Added Ewing: “I’ve been at peace with my decision. It’s just so nice to be able to share the walk with my family this week.” AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf
