Former President Bill Clinton has been hospitalized after developing a fever. The former President was admitted Monday to Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington. The 78-year-old was admitted in the “afternoon for testing and observation," Angel Urena, Clinton's deputy chief of staff, said in a statement. Dad makes friend dig own grave and kill himself after raping his daughter, six US Congressman names 4 suspects behind mystery drones causing mass panic “He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” Urena said. A close source said the 42nd president "will be fine" and the situation is "not urgent," adding: "He developed a fever and wanted to be checked out. He is awake and alert." Clinton had a quadruple bypass operation in 2004 and another heart procedure in 2010, where two stents were inserted into a coronary artery. Then in 2021 he was hospitalized for six days in California due to an urological infection that spread to his bloodstream. Clinton, a Democrat who served two terms as president from January 1993 until January 2001, addressed the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer and campaigned ahead of November's election for the unsuccessful White House bid of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. Perhaps concerned about his health at the DNC in August, he said: "I want to say this from the bottom of my heart. I have no idea how many more of these I’ll be able to come to." He has attended every DNC since 1977. Clinton also took a swipe at Donald Trump's age during his speech at the DNC, saying at 78 he is "still younger" than the president-elect. He told the crowd he celebrated his birthday earlier this week, before ripping into Trump . “I actually turned 78 two days ago,” Clinton said. “The only personal vanity I want to assert is that I’m still younger than Donald Trump .”None

TORONTO — Canada's main stock index pushed higher to end Monday up almost 150 points on light trading action, while U.S. stock markets also gained ahead of the Christmas break. "Today is a quiet pre-Christmas Day of trading," said Kevin Burkett, a portfolio manager at Victoria, B.C.-based Burkett Asset Management. While markets in both Canada and the U.S. were mild, Burkett suggests watching the markets closely during the holiday season, a contrast to what's typically a sleepy period for markets. "We're continuing to watch markets very closely here because you've got some tectonic plate shifting in terms of the macroeconomic backdrop," he said. "It's all the political conversations both in Canada and in the U.S." Burkett added fiscal policy seems to be disconnected from monetary policy in the post-pandemic period. "The fiscal policy may shift and that shift absolutely has market implications both in the short and long term," he said. The S&P/TSX composite index was up 149.50 points at 24,748.98. Statistics Canada released its latest numbers on Canada's economic growth, up 0.3 per cent in October — driven by the mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction sector. The loonie continued its slide, trading for 69.47 cents US compared with 69.61 cents US on Friday. The telecom sector was the biggest loser at the closing on TSX, which Burkett attributed to "tax loss selling happening at the end of the year." Competition Bureau Canada announced on Monday it was suing Rogers Communications Inc. for allegedly making misleading claims about its infinite wireless plans. The stock price for Rogers, which is hovering near 52-week lows, fell 0.7 per cent on Monday. Meanwhile, BCE was down almost 1.4 per cent and Telus dropped 0.9 per cent. Burkett suggested the day's poor performance among telecom companies was likely tax loss selling since it's almost the end of the year. "It's been a tough year for the communication services sector," he said. South of the border, communications services was the top-performing sector, led by large-cap tech companies. Several big technology companies helped support the gains, including chip companies Nvidia and Broadcom. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 66.69 points at 42,906.95. The S&P 500 index was up 43.22 points at 5,974.07, while the Nasdaq composite was up 192.29 points at 19,764.89. The February crude oil contract was down 22 cents at US$69.24 per barrel and the February natural gas contract was down six cents at US$3.35 per mmBTU. The February gold contract was down US$16.90 at US$2,628.20 an ounce and the March copper contract was down one cent at US$4.09 a pound.

Coote was sacked earlier this month after the emergence of a video in which he made derogatory remarks about Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp. Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) said that a thorough investigation had concluded he was “in serious breach of the provisions of his employment contract, with his position deemed untenable”. “Supporting David Coote continues to be important to us and we remain committed to his welfare,” PGMOL’s statement on December 9 added. Coote had the right to appeal against the decision but PA understands the Nottinghamshire referee has decided not to. The video which triggered PGMOL’s investigation into Coote’s conduct first came to public attention on November 11. In it, Coote is asked for his views on a Liverpool match where he has just been fourth official, and describes them as “s***”. He then describes Klopp as a “c***”, and, asked why he felt that way, Coote says the German had “a right pop at me when I reffed them against Burnley in lockdown” and had accused him of lying. “I have got no interest in speaking to someone who’s f****** arrogant, so I do my best not to speak to him,” Coote said. Later in the video, Coote again refers to Klopp, this time as a “German c***”. The Football Association opened its own investigation into that video, understood to be centred on that last comment and whether Coote’s reference to Klopp’s nationality constituted an aggravated breach of its misconduct rules. The investigation by PGMOL which led to Coote’s contract being terminated is also understood to have looked at another video which appeared to show Coote snorting a white powder, purportedly during Euro 2024 where he was one of the assistant VARs for the tournament. European football’s governing body UEFA also appointed an ethics investigator to look into the matter.Percentages: FG .426, FT .667. 3-Point Goals: 3-13, .231 (Carmody 1-2, Fouts 1-2, Jones 1-3, Dancler 0-1, Owens 0-2, Mosquera 0-3).

Share Tweet Share Share Email Being charged with a crime can be overwhelming, and the actions you take immediately afterward will have a significant impact on the outcome of your case. What you don’t do is just as important as what you do . What Not to Do When Charged With a Crime While there’s plenty of advice about what to do, it’s just as important to understand what not to do. Missteps can damage your defense, jeopardize your rights, and even lead to harsher consequences. Here are seven critical mistakes you must avoid to protect yourself and build the strongest defense possible. Speaking to Law Enforcement Without an Attorney When you’re charged with a crime, law enforcement will likely want to question you. Even if you’re innocent, it’s vital to resist the urge to explain yourself or try to “clear things up.” Anything you say can and will be used against you in court. This isn’t just a warning – it’s a reality. You might think cooperating fully will demonstrate your innocence, but law enforcement officers are skilled at asking questions designed to trip you up. (In fact, that’s what they’re best at.) You could inadvertently make statements that seem inconsistent or suggest guilt. Instead of speaking, assert your right to remain silent and request an attorney. “There’s a misconception that only guilty people hire a lawyer. But this is a perception that law enforcement likes to continue pushing so that they have a better chance of tripping up suspects,” attorney Brian Walker explains . “Hiring a lawyer on day one is actually one of the smartest things you can do.” Protect yourself by letting your attorney handle communication with law enforcement from the start. Considering the circumstances (and what’s at stake), it’s the best investment you’ll ever make. Discussing Your Case on Social Media It’s very tempting to vent or share details of your situation on social media. However, this can be one of the most damaging mistakes you make. Prosecutors and law enforcement actively monitor social media accounts for evidence, and anything you post can be taken out of context and used against you . This doesn’t just apply to public posts. Private messages, comments, and even deleted posts can sometimes be recovered and presented as evidence in court. Avoid discussing your case online altogether. This includes avoiding vague posts that could be misinterpreted, like “Some people just don’t understand the full story” or “I’m so angry right now.” Assume that anything you post will be brought up on a TV screen for jurors to potentially see during a trial. Instead, keep all discussions about your case strictly between you and your attorney. They are the only ones who can offer guidance on what is safe to share. Talking About Your Case With Friends or Family You might feel the need to confide in loved ones for support, but sharing details about your case with friends or family can backfire. Unlike conversations with your attorney, conversations with others are not protected by attorney-client privilege. This means prosecutors could subpoena your loved ones to testify about what you said. Even well-meaning friends or family members might misunderstand or misinterpret what you share, unintentionally making statements that hurt your case. The best approach is to limit conversations about your case to your legal team. Destroying or Tampering With Evidence If you think hiding, destroying, or altering evidence will help your case, stop right there. Tampering with evidence is a separate crime that can escalate your legal troubles significantly. It’s also a red flag to prosecutors, who may argue that your actions demonstrate guilt. Whether it’s deleting text messages, erasing computer files, or throwing away physical items, any attempt to manipulate evidence can lead to additional charges. Even if the evidence seems incriminating, it’s better to let your attorney handle it. They can assess whether it’s admissible and determine the best course of action. Remember, your attorney is your ally in managing evidence. Be transparent with them about any concerns you have so they can strategize effectively. Missing Court Deadlines The legal process involves strict timelines, and missing deadlines for court appearances, filings, or other requirements can have serious consequences. Failing to appear for a scheduled court date can result in a bench warrant for your arrest. Ignoring deadlines for filing paperwork could weaken your case or lead to a default judgment against you. Your attorney will keep track of these deadlines, but you must stay engaged and proactive. Keep a calendar of important dates, set reminders, and communicate regularly with your legal team. Meeting deadlines shows the court you’re taking the charges seriously and can prevent avoidable setbacks. Ignoring Legal Advice You hired an attorney to guide you through this process, so trust their expertise. It can be tempting to rely on advice from friends, internet forums, or your own instincts, but your lawyer has the training and experience to navigate the legal system in ways others can’t. For example, you might think pleading guilty to a lesser charge is your best option to “get it over with,” but your attorney may recognize a stronger defense strategy that could result in a dismissal or acquittal. Similarly, they’ll know when it’s best to negotiate, file motions, or proceed to trial. By ignoring their advice, you risk making decisions that could undermine your defense. Stay in close communication with your attorney and follow their guidance, even if it feels counterintuitive. Panicking and Losing Focus Facing criminal charges is undeniably stressful, but panicking or making impulsive decisions will only hurt your case. Emotional reactions like anger, fear, or desperation can lead to poor judgment, such as arguing with law enforcement, making incriminating statements, or agreeing to unfavorable plea deals. It’s important to stay as calm and focused as possible. This doesn’t mean ignoring your feelings – it’s natural to feel overwhelmed – but channel that energy into working constructively with your legal team. The more level-headed you remain, the better equipped you’ll be to make decisions that serve your best interests. Lean on your attorney for support and rely on their expertise to guide you through the process. They’ve handled cases like yours and know how to navigate the challenges ahead. Adding it All Up When you’re charged with a crime, what you don’t do can be just as important as what you do. By avoiding the seven mistakes we’ve discussed in this article, you can put yourself in a strong position to have the best defense possible. Good luck!

Author and former presidential candidate Marianne Williamson announced Thursday she’s running to lead the Democratic National Committee. “I’m proud to announce I’m running for Chair of the DNC. In order to respond to the challenge of this moment, the Democratic Party needs transformation,” she posted on social media, with a link to a lengthy letter addressed to DNC members outlining her ambitions for the office. Williamson ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020 and 2024. In 2020, she dropped out in January before the Iowa caucus after failing to meet the polling qualifications for several debates. In 2024, her best performance was 4% in the New Hampshire primary, behind Joe Biden, who received 63.8% of the vote despite not officially competing in the primary, and outgoing Rep. Dean Phillips, who received nearly 20%. She ended her candidacy and reentered the 2024 race twice before ending her campaign for a third and final time in July. She joins a growing field to replace outgoing chair Jaime Harrison that includes former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who ran for president in 2016; Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Chair Ken Martin; Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler; and New York state Sen. James Skoufis.
