Regardless of what the scoreboard says at the end of four quarters of football on Thursday, the Dallas Cowboys will get to have a delicious and substantial Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family. But that shouldn't be the only thing they get to feast on tomorrow when they face the New York Giants. Why? The Cowboys should be able to devour a weak Giants' offensive line that will be protecting third-string quarterback Drew Lock at AT&T Stadium. You see, the Giants are coming into this one with the 21st offensive line in pass block win rate. Pro Football Focus ranks them as the 23rd best pass blocking team in the league. Just last weekend, they allowed four sacks against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, looking particularly vulnerable versus the blitz, which they faced in over half of Tommy DeVito's dropbacks. With Micah Parsons back in the lineup, the Cowboys' pass rush has recovered some of its old form, as the star defensive end has been productive upon his return. Last Sunday, he was responsible for two sacks and stood out from a defensive tackle alignment in obvious passing situations paired with timely linebacker blitzes from Eric Kendricks and DeMarvion Overshown. Additionally, Zimmer wasn't afraid to send defensive backs after the quarterback, sometimes doing multiple at a time versus the Commanders. Jourdan Lewis and Donovan Wilson combined for six pass rush snaps on Sunday and they should be busy on Sunday as well. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were quite successful with nickel blitzes against the Giants, including the rep below where they sent two defensive backs after the quarterback. Mike Zimmer is going to get blitz-happy versus the Giants tomorrow. Expect some pass rush action for Cowboys DBs as well, worked out great for the Bucs several times. Here's a double DB blitz: pic.twitter.com/77ShebKtIg And it wasn't just the blitzes. The Giants got completely dominated by the Bucs upfront, which led to a lopsided game that ended 30-7. I am not sure it's fair to trust the Cowboys to get a blowout against a divisional foe but on Thursday, I expect the Cowboys' defensive front to be quite successful against the Giants OL. Additionally, it's hard to forget Mazi Smith's best game of his career came against the Giants, particularly when matched up against center John Michael Schmitz Jr., who had a bad time matched up against Bucs DL Vita Vea . One week after shutting down the Commanders offense for most of the game, I expect Dallas to devour the Giants offensive line. The question will be if a banged up secondary will be able to hold down Malik Nabers , who caught 12 passes for 115 yards in Week 4 against the Cowboys. Or if the Cooper Rush-led offense will be able to be successful. It should be a close one even if it's not the most exciting matchup of the day for NFL fans. Gobble, gobble!

Trump Cabinet picks, appointees targeted by bomb threats and swatting attacks
By ROB GILLIES TORONTO (AP) — Canada is already examining possible retaliatory tariffs on certain items from the United States should President-elect Donald Trump follow through on his threat to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products, a senior official said Wednesday. Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if the countries don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across southern and northern borders. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders. A Canadian government official said Canada is preparing for every eventuality and has started thinking about what items to target with tariffs in retaliation. The official stressed no decision has been made. The person spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly. When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term in office, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a tit-for-tat response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Many of the U.S. products were chosen for their political rather than economic impact. For example, Canada imports $3 million worth of yogurt from the U.S. annually and most comes from one plant in Wisconsin, home state of then-House Speaker Paul Ryan. That product was hit with a 10% duty. Another product on the list was whiskey, which comes from Tennessee and Kentucky, the latter of which is the home state of then-Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell. Trump made the threat Monday while railing against an influx of illegal migrants, even though the numbers at Canadian border pale in comparison to the southern border. The U.S. Border Patrol made 56,530 arrests at the Mexican border in October alone — and 23,721 arrests at the Canadian one between October 2023 and September 2024. Canadian officials say lumping Canada in with Mexico is unfair but say they are happy to work with the Trump administration to lower the numbers from Canada. The Canadians are also worried about a influx north of migrants if Trump follows through with his plan for mass deportations. Trump also railed about fentanyl from Mexico and Canada, even though seizures from the Canadian border pale in comparison to the Mexican border. U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border.

Canadian officials argue their country is not the problem and that tariffs will have severe implications for both countries. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US$2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing in for national security. “Canada is essential to the United States’ domestic energy supply,” Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said. Trump has pledged to cut American energy bills in half within 18 months, something that could be made harder if a 25% premium is added to Canadian oil imports. In 2023, Canadian oil accounted for almost two-thirds of total U.S. oil imports and about one-fifth of the U.S. oil supply. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is holding a emergency virtual meeting on Wednesday with the leaders of Canada’s provinces, who want Trudeau to negotiate a bilateral trade deal with the United States that excludes Mexico. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Wednesday that her administration is already working up a list of possible retaliatory tariffs “if the situation comes to that.”Chad Chronister, Donald Trump’s pick to run the DEA, withdraws name from considerationBrooklyn Pop Warner team scrambling for funds to play in league Super Bowl

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has promised to as soon as he gets into office to make good on campaign promises aiming and redefining what it means to be American. But any efforts to halt the policy would face steep legal hurdles. Birthright citizenship means anyone born in the United States automatically becomes an American citizen. It's been in place for decades and applies to children born to someone in the country illegally or in the U.S. on a tourist or student visa who plans to return to their home country. It's not the practice of every country, and Trump and his supporters have argued that the system is being abused and that there should be tougher standards for becoming an American citizen. But others say this is a right enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, it would be extremely difficult to overturn and even if it's possible, it's a bad idea. Here's a look at birthright citizenship, what Trump has said about it and the prospects for ending it: During an interview Sunday on Trump said he “absolutely” planned to halt birthright citizenship once in office. “We’re going to end that because it’s ridiculous,” he said. Trump and other opponents of birthright citizenship have argued that it creates an incentive for people to come to the U.S. illegally or take part in pregnant women enter the U.S. specifically to give birth so their children can have citizenship before returning to their home countries. “Simply crossing the border and having a child should not entitle anyone to citizenship,” said Eric Ruark, director of research for NumbersUSA, which argues for reducing immigration. The organization supports changes that would require at least one parent to be a permanent legal resident or a U.S. citizen for their children to automatically get citizenship. Others have argued that ending birthright citizenship would profoundly damage the country. “One of our big benefits is that people born here are citizens, are not an illegal underclass. There’s better assimilation and integration of immigrants and their children because of birthright citizenship,” said Alex Nowrasteh, vice president for economic and social policy studies at the pro-immigration Cato Institute. In 2019, the Migration Policy Institute estimated that 5.5 million children under age 18 lived with at least one parent in the country illegally in 2019, representing 7% of the U.S. child population. The vast majority of those children were U.S. citizens. The nonpartisan think tank said during Trump’s campaign for president in 2015 that the number of people in the country illegally would “balloon” if birthright citizenship were repealed, creating “a self-perpetuating class that would be excluded from social membership for generations.” In the aftermath of the Civil War, Congress ratified the 14th Amendment in July 1868. That amendment assured citizenship for all, including Black people. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,” the 14th Amendment says. “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.” But the 14th Amendment didn't always translate to everyone being afforded birthright citizenship. For example, it wasn't until 1924 that Congress finally granted citizenship to all Native Americans born in the U.S. A key case in the history of birthright citizenship came in 1898, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Wong Kim Ark, born in San Francisco to Chinese immigrants, was a U.S. citizen because he was born in the states. The federal government had tried to deny him reentry into the county after a trip abroad on grounds he wasn’t a citizen under the Chinese Exclusion Act. But some have argued that the 1898 case clearly applied to children born of parents who are both legal immigrants to America but that it's less clear whether it applies to children born to parents without legal status or, for example, who come for a short-term like a tourist visa. “That is the leading case on this. In fact, it’s the only case on this,” said Andrew Arthur, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports immigration restrictions. “It’s a lot more of an open legal question than most people think.” Some proponents of immigration restrictions have argued the words “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” in the 14th Amendment allows the U.S. to deny citizenship to babies born to those in the country illegally. Trump himself used that language in his 2023 announcement that he would aim to end birthright citizenship if reelected. Trump wasn't clear in his Sunday interview how he aims to end birthright citizenship. Asked how he could get around the 14th Amendment with an executive action, Trump said: “Well, we’re going to have to get it changed. We’ll maybe have to go back to the people. But we have to end it.” Pressed further on whether he'd use an executive order, Trump said “if we can, through executive action." He gave a lot more details in a . In it, he said he would issue an executive order the first day of his presidency, making it clear that federal agencies “require that at least one parent be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident for their future children to become automatic U.S. citizens.” Trump wrote that the executive order would make clear that children of people in the U.S. illegally “should not be issued passports, Social Security numbers, or be eligible for certain taxpayer funded welfare benefits.” This would almost certainly end up in litigation. Nowrasteh from the Cato Institute said the law is clear that birthright citizenship can’t be ended by executive order but that Trump may be inclined to take a shot anyway through the courts. “I don’t take his statements very seriously. He has been saying things like this for almost a decade," Nowrasteh said. "He didn’t do anything to further this agenda when he was president before. The law and judges are near uniformly opposed to his legal theory that the children of illegal immigrants born in the United States are not citizens." Trump could steer Congress to pass a law to end birthright citizenship but would still face a legal challenge that it violates the Constitution.

ASIA CX PHILIPPINES 2024 | Pioneering excellence in customer experience and innovationPure Storage and Kioxia Collaborate to Drive Scalability, Efficiency, and Performance in Hyperscale Data CentersDonald Trump asks Supreme Court to hold off TikTok ban so he can 'negotiate a resolution' By MELISSA KOENIG FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 23:14, 27 December 2024 | Updated: 23:51, 27 December 2024 e-mail 25 View comments President-Elect Donald Trump has made a last minute plea to get the United States Supreme Court to halt implementation of a nationwide TikTok ban. Congress had passed a law earlier this year banning the popular video-sharing app as of January 19 if it is not sold by its Chinese parent company by then. Executives at the platform then made an emergency plea to the Supreme Court earlier this month to block the federal law, and on Friday Trump's legal team filed its own request to delay the implementation of the law. 'President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute,' D. John Sauer, Trump's lawyer whom he picked for US solicitor general wrote in the filing, according to NBC News. 'Instead, he respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act's deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025 while it considers the merits of this case, thus permitting President Trump's incoming administration the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in this case.' 'President Trump alone possesses the consummate deal-making expertise, the electoral mandate and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns expressed by the government - concerns which President Trump himself has acknowledged,' Sauer continued. 'In light of these interests - including most importantly, his overarching responsibility for the United States' national security and foreign policy - President Trump opposes banning TikTok in the United States at this juncture and seeks the ability to resolve issues at hand through political means once he takes office.' Trump has previously voiced his opposition to the Protecting Americans from Controlled Applications App, which President Joe Biden signed into law in April, and vowed on the campaign trail to 'save TikTok.' He even met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew earlier this month to discuss the issue, after proclaiming, 'I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok because I won youth by 34 points.' President-elect Donald Trump has has made a last minute plea to get the United States Supreme Court to halt implementation of a nationwide TikTok ban Congress passed a resolution earlier this year banning the popular video-sharing app as of January 19 if it is not sold by its Chinese parent company by then 'There are those who say TikTok had something to do with that.' Friday's filing even touted the future president as 'one of the most powerful, prolific and influential users of social media in history. 'Indeed, President Trump's first term was highlighted by a series of policy triumphs achieved through historic deals, and he has a great prospect of success in this latest national security and foreign policy endeavor,' it says. Executives at TikTok have also pointed at Trump's sympathies in their own legal arguments, suggesting the trajectory may change when he takes office, The Hill reports. But the Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments both from the government and the platform at an expedited schedule, starting on January 10. It would then only have nine days after oral arguments for them to issue an opinion or indefinitely block the Protecting Americans from Controlled Applications App - despite Trump not taking office until January 20 - one day after the platform must be divested from its parent company, ByteDance, or be banned in the United States. In the meantime, the company seeks to argue that such a law violates the First Amendment to the Constitution. Yet the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit decided to uphold the law, concluding that the government's national security justifications for banning the app - including concerns that the Chinese government could access data about American users and manipulate content - were legitimate. The United States Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments both from the government and the platform at an expedited schedule, starting on January 10 Some wealthy Americans have since expressed an interest in buying TikTok's US business , including 'Shark Tank' star Kevin O ́Leary. Big tech companies could also afford to buy the platform, but would likely face intense scrutiny from antitrust regulators in both the US and China. Activision CEO Bobby Kotick - who helped broker the $69 billion sale of his company to Microsoft last year - may have the resources to buy the Chinese app and the technological know how in order to create a new algorithm for it. Kotick floated the idea of buying TikTok in March to numerous people at a dinner, the Wall Street Journal reported, with one of them being OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Beyond Altman's $2 billion net worth, he is an attractive partner in the bid to acquire TikTok because he could give the eventual US version of the app a head start in training its AI models. Yet even if an American company does buy the platform, the China's Commerce Ministry would have to approve ByteDance's divestiture from TikTok - which the Chinese government has strongly opposed.
