Jonah Goldberg: What if most Americans aren't bitterly divided?A Michigan man now has a college fund for his children thanks to work by Iowa Treasurer Roby Smith and State Rep. Mike Vondran, who helped reunite him with more than $317,000 in lost property. Smith and Vondran marked the found funds with an event at the Scott County Treasurer's Office Tuesday morning. The connection was made as part of the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt . Rep. Mike Vondran and Iowa Treasurer Roby Smith stand together in the Scott County Administration building on Tuesday, Nov. 26, to present a $317,0000 check to a Michigan man named Robert. After Robert's aunt passed away, her assets were never claimed and instead went to the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt program, where Vondran and Smith worked together to find an heir to the money and return it to family. Each year, millions of dollars are turned over to the state treasurer for safekeeping after financial institutions and businesses lose contact with the owner. Every effort is made to return the assets back to the rightful owner or their heirs. Examples include dormant checking and savings accounts, uncashed checks, lost stocks and bonds, utility security refunds and insurance benefits, according to a news release. Smith said he gave Vondran a list of the top 100 people in his district with unclaimed property. This was by far the largest amount, Vondran said. "Mine range from a low of $12,000 to a high of $317,000. It's an amazing thing when you find these resources, these legacies have just kind of disappeared on people and they wind up here," Vondran said. "These dollars have to go somewhere, by law, so they wind up in this account, and many people just lose track of things." The check presented on Tuesday was a result of a family member passing and their assets getting lost in the process, he said. "This individual's legacy was sitting in the account without an attachment to family and heirs, and we were able to find the single heir," he said. But, there was a catch. When Vondran called the heir — a man named Robert who resides in Michigan — Robert thought it was all a lie. "(Robert) actually called me one day out of the blue, after me leaving repeated messages, and said, 'Hey, I'm so sorry. I thought it was a scam. I was actually traveling through the Quad-Cities ... visiting with family, and referenced this and said, 'You can't believe what just happened to me,''" Vondran recounted. "And his distant cousin said, 'Well, I know Mike. He's my representative.' And then we called and made the connection." Vondran sent over the proper paperwork and in less than two weeks, Robert, who was not present Tuesday, was united with the lost family money, which he plans to use for his children's college fund, Vondran said. "It's a great story, and it's one of the largest (returns) in the history of Scott County," Smith said. "We gave out a record number last year, almost $35 million was the record in the history of Iowa, that we've given back. And the top amount was around the $4 million but I can tell you, as part of the history, this is up there for Scott County." The state has more than $566 million it is looking to return to its rightful owners, Smith said.

The S&P 500 added 1.1% Tuesday. Trading closed early ahead of the holiday.

(AP Photo/Peter Morgan) Stocks closed higher on Wall Street ahead of the Christmas holiday, led by gains in Big Tech stocks. The S&P 500 added 1.1% Tuesday. Trading closed early ahead of the holiday. Tech companies including Apple, Amazon and chip company Broadcom helped pull the market higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.9%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 1.3%. American Airlines shook off an early loss and ended mostly higher after the airline briefly grounded flights nationwide due to a technical issue. Treasury yields held steady in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury was little changed at 4.59% THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Tech companies led a broad rally for U.S. stocks Tuesday, a boost for the market in a holiday-shortened trading session. The S&P 500 rose 0.8% in midday trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 273 points, or 0.6%, as of 12:18 p.m. Eastern time. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite was up 1%. Chip company Broadcom rose 2.9%, while semiconductor giant Nvidia, whose enormous valuation gives it an outsize influence on indexes, rose 0.8%. Super Micro Computer jumped 5.8%. Tesla climbed 5.1%, one of the biggest gains among S&P 500 stocks. Amazon.com rose 1.6% American Airlines slipped 0.1% after the airline briefly grounded flights nationwide due to a technical issue. U.S. Steel rose 1.1% a day after an influential government panel failed to reach consensus on the possible national security risks of the nearly $15 billion proposed sale to Nippon Steel of Japan. NeueHealth surged 68.9% after the health care company agreed to be taken private in a deal valued at roughly $1.3 billion. Treasury yields rose in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.61% from 4.59% late Monday. European markets were mostly higher. Markets in Asia mostly gained ground. U.S. markets will close at 1 p.m. Eastern and stay closed Wednesday for Christmas. Wall Street has several economic reports to look forward to this week, including a weekly update on unemployment benefits on Thursday. Tuesday’s rally comes as the stock market enters what’s historically been a very cheerful season. The last five trading days of each year, plus the first two in the new year, have brought an average gain of 1.3% since 1950. The so-called “Santa rally” also correlates closely with positive returns in January and the upcoming year. So far this month, the U.S. stock market has lost some of its gains since President-elect Donald Trump’s win on Election Day, which raised hopes for faster economic growth and more lax regulations that would boost corporate profits. Worries have risen that Trump’s preference for tariffs and other policies could lead to higher inflation , a bigger U.S. government debt and difficulties for global trade. Even so, the stock market remains on pace to deliver strong returns for 2024. The benchmark S&P 500 is up about 26% so far this year and remains within roughly 1.3% of the all-time high it set earlier this month — its latest of 57 record highs this year.

Shares of Meta Platforms Inc. and Snap Inc. rose over 2% on Friday afternoon after a U.S. appeals court upheld a potential ban on TikTok. The court rejected a petition from TikTok and its users that claimed the ban, or a forced divestment of the platform by its Chinese parent ByteDance, infringed on free speech rights. The ban could take effect as early as Jan. 19, 2025, but TikTok plans to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, which could delay its implementation. The U.S. government has raised concerns for years about TikTok’s data collection practices, while TikTok asserts it has invested billions to secure user data. The news sparked gains for both Meta and Snap, but retail sentiment diverged. Meta faced ‘bearish’ levels on Stocktwits, with some users doubting the sustainability of the current rally, with the stock hitting yet another fresh high on Friday. Some skepticism arose from comments made by President-elect Donald Trump during his campaign, where he hinted at a softer stance on TikTok despite pushing for restrictions in his earlier presidency. Snap, on the other hand, saw a surge in ‘bullish’ sentiment, with investors optimistic about its ability to capitalize on TikTok’s potential exit from the U.S. market. TikTok, which has 170 million active users in the U.S., is a major platform for free expression and income generation for many creators. However, Congress and successive administrations have argued that removing TikTok from Chinese control is essential for national security. If enforced, the ban could shift user engagement and advertising revenue to competitors like Meta’s Instagram Reels and Snap’s Spotlight. In a separate development, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced updates to the company’s AI initiatives, unveiling the Llama 3.3 70B text model and plans for a massive 2GW+ data center to support future AI developments. Meta’s AI products now have nearly 600 million monthly active users, contributing to the company’s record-high stock performance, which has surged 77.29% year to date. Snap, despite Friday’s rise, remains 85% below its mid-2021 pandemic-era highs. While Meta’s stock sizzles, speculation about a potential stock split grows, with a Stocktwits poll showing 49% of retail users expecting an announcement by 2025.

Gatineau, Que. police are warning drivers to keep a close eye on their vehicles if they need to be warmed up, after several idling vehicles were stolen in recent weeks. Police said they have investigated five reports since mid-November of vehicles that were stolen while being idled with the doors unlocked. The vehicles were eventually found and returned to their owners, and at least one person has been arrested. Police, however, are reminding drivers to be cautious. "When you have to start your vehicle's engine because it is affected by frost or ice, it is recommended that you stay close to it so that it remains under your constant surveillance," police said in a news release, originally in French. "Make sure to lock your doors when the vehicle is running. If your vehicle is not equipped with an ignition key and a push button, use a second set of keys to lock it." Police are also reminding drivers that Gatineau has an idling bylaw. "Remember that, according to the municipal bylaw of the City of Gatineau concerning traffic and parking, no one may let the engine of a road vehicle idle for more than three minutes in any 60-minute period, unless a vehicle is affected by frost or ice for the time required to make it safe to drive." If you witness or are the victim of a vehicle theft, call 9-1-1. Shopping Trends The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.
