Fantasy Football Playoffs Championship Start 'Em & Sit 'Em Quarterbacks: Baker Mayfield expected to remain hotEric Trump shares Donald's 'Amazon shopping list'... and Justin Trudeau won't like it Sign up for the latest with DailyMail.com's U.S. politics newsletter By SARAH EWALL-WICE, SENIOR U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER Published: 17:58 GMT, 24 December 2024 | Updated: 18:09 GMT, 24 December 2024 e-mail View comments Eric Trump trolled neighboring Canada as well as Greenland and Panama with a recent social media post about his father's Amazon shopping cart, but some do not see it as a laughing matter. President-elect Donald Trump has been making declarations about U.S. expansion ahead of his return to the White House next year including turning his focus on both counties and the territory. In a post on X, Trump's middle son shared an image that appeared to be an image that looked like an Amazon shopping cart. In the online cart were Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal. The image next to it he shared was the 78-year-old smiling down at the shopping cart on on his phone. The younger Trump captioned his post 'We are so back!!!' But while the president-elect may be trolling other foreign leaders at times with his talk of expanding the U.S., some of his recent declarations appear to be serious including threats aimed at Greenland and Panama. Eric Trump shares post of what looks like an Amazon cart with Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal in it as his father the president-elect declares he wants to expand U.S. control Trump first turned his ire on Canada and Mexico last month when he accused the neighboring countries of unfair trade with the U.S. and threatened they need to do more to address the border. At the time he threatened both countries with 25 percent tariffs on all imports into the U.S. when he returns to office if they don't take action. It's a move that economists warned would raise costs on American consumers and could be economically devastating to all three countries. In response, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traveled to Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida to meet with the president-elect in person where Trump suggested according to reports that Canada could become a U.S. state. Since then, the 78-year-old has been trolling Trudeau with social media posts including one of him looking into Canada. He has also referred to the Canadian leader as 'governor' and called for Canada to be the 51st state. Just days ago, he repeated a suggestion in a Truth Social post, even referring to it mockingly as the 'Great State of Canada.' Canadian Prime Minister Justice Trudeau in West Palm Beach, FL on November 29 to meet with Trump after the president-elect threatened tariffs. Since then, Trump has referred to Trudeau as 'governor' and Canada as a 'state' But Trump has gone further with his talk of expansion in just the past few days. The president-elect has also set his sights on the Panama Canal and Greenland with a series of social media posts that do not poke fun but make direct demands for U.S. control. In a post announcing his pick for U.S. ambassador to Denmark, Trump reignited his interest in buying Greenland. 'For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity,' he wrote on Truth Social. Trump, 78, made the stark declaration Sunday night in announcement about his nominee for U.S. ambassador to Denmark that the U.S. feels 'ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity' Trump first expressed interest in buying Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, during his first term. While the president-elect has repeatedly floated the idea, he has not gone into any detail on how the U.S. would go about making the purchase with the people there or paying for it. The Prime Minister of Greenland Mute Egede responded to Trump's post stating that the territory is 'not for sale.' At the same time, Trump has threatened the country of Panama in recent weeks with the demand that the U.S. take control of the Panama Canal . Over the weekend, the president-elect wrote the canal in Central America which connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans is 'considered a VITAL National Asset for the United States, due to its critical role to America's Economy and National Security.' He vowed the U.S. would never let it fall into the wrong hands and wrote 'we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us.' Trump reiterated his demands over the canal an criticism of fees to use it to a group of supporters on Sunday during a speech in Phoenix, Arizona. But Panama's president José Raúl Mulino rejected Trump declaring 'every square meter of the Panama Canal belongs to Panama.' In a message released by Panama's President Mulino (pictured December 19, 2024) on Sunday afternoon, the nation's leader said that Panama's independence was non-negotiable and that China had no influence on the canal's administration Mulino said in his statement, which was released on X: 'Every square meter of the Panama Canal and the surrounding area belongs to Panama and will continue belonging (to Panama)' He added that the sovereignty and independence of the country is 'not negotiable.' The Panama Canal was built by the U.S. in the early 1900s, but it turned control over to Panama in 1999 under a treaty signed by President Jimmy Carter back in 1977. Trump responded to Panama's president writing 'We'll see about that!' He and allies have not indicated how the U.S. would seize control without cooperation.

On Dec. 17, she surprised students at Edisto Primary, Mellichamp, and Sheridan Elementary Schools with Christmas presents. Edwards and her community partners—Paragon Builders, Bowleggin Consulting LLC, Accent Consulting Group, Paragon Development, and Orangeburg County Councilwoman Deloris Frazier— treated OCSD students to gift cards. Mellichamp Elementary School Principal, Dr. Latoya Glen, expressed appreciation for the kindness shown to Mellichamp. "We are incredibly thankful to Chair Edwards and her generous partners for bringing such joy to our students during this magical season,” she said. “We are truly blessed to have dedicated leaders and community partners who give so selflessly to uplift our Champions at Mellichamp." During the presentations, Edwards encouraged the students and celebrated the role of community partners in the event. “We feel incredibly lucky to bring happiness to some of OCSD's children during this wonderful time of year,” Chair Edwards exclaimed. “This is my seventh annual Christmas celebration in District Six, and just the look of joy on one student’s face makes all the effort worthwhile!” Meanwhile, during their Dec. 17 holiday celebration, the Orangeburg County School District’s (OCSD) Communication and Technology Division members donated coats, hats, socks, and toys to the Orangeburg Salvation Army. Rather than exchanging gifts among colleagues, members of the department were encouraged to purchase items that could bring comfort and joy to local families in need. “Our work as a school district doesn’t stop at the classroom,” said Dr. Erica S. Taylor, Assistant Superintendent of Communications, Business & Community Partnerships. “This initiative reminds us all that it’s better to give than to receive. By stepping outside of ourselves and giving to others, we not only bring smiles to families but strengthen the bond between our district and the community we proudly serve.” Get our local education coverage delivered directly to your inbox.
Palantir Technologies ( PLTR 4.87% ) is one of the hottest stocks of 2024, but I think there is another hot artificial intelligence (AI) software stock that investors should consider as well. AppLovin 's ( APP 4.74% ) stock price is up more than 650% so far this year, far outpacing the stellar 250% gain seen in Palantir's stock (all returns are as of this writing). While Palantir is getting plenty of attention because its data collection, analytics, and AI platform are being used successfully by the U.S. government as well as several commercial entities, AppLovin's business has flown under the radar. The company owns a legacy gaming app business, but its core business involves advertising technology used by mobile gaming companies and others to attract and better monetize users. Let's take a closer look at why investors should consider investing in this stock even after its huge gains this year. AppLovin is seeing huge growth AppLovin has generated spectacular revenue growth since the launch of its new AI-powered adtech platform Axon-2 (introduced in Q2 2023). That growth continued last quarter, when its software revenue surged 66% year over year to $835 million, while its overall revenue climbed 39% to $1.2 billion. Just as important as the revenue growth, the company has also seen a lot of operating leverage in its business as well, which is leading to even stronger profitability growth. Last quarter, gross margins improved to 77.5% from 69.3% a year ago, while it lowered its sales and marketing spending by 3%. This led AppLovin's earnings per share (EPS) to more than quadruple from $0.30 a year ago to $1.25, while its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ( EBITDA ) soared 72% to $722 million. Eventually, the company expects to settle into long-term revenue growth of between 20% to 30% from just its gaming customers, although if it can move its adtech platform beyond its core gaming vertical, there is certainly an opportunity for its growth to continue to exceed its long-term target. The company has also said that it can grow beyond 30% a year in the gaming segment if it can start to implement more than one major enhancement to its adtech platform a year. Outside gaming, AppLovin just started piloting its adtech platform within the broader e-commerce sector. It said results thus far are good, and it thinks e-commerce can be a meaningful contributor as early as next year. It will open a broader self-serve platform in the coming quarters. If the company can innovate quickly and move beyond gaming, it should still see continued outsized revenue growth for years to come. Attractive valuation In addition to the continued growth opportunities, AppLovin still trades at an attractive valuation despite the huge gains in its stock this year. Based on next year's analyst estimates, the stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) of just over 45 times, while it has a price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) of 1.1 times. A PEG ratio of under 1 is typically viewed as undervalued, but growth stocks will often have PEG multiples well above 1. Thus, I would say that based on its long-term growth prospects, AppLovin still trades at an attractive valuation. Meanwhile, compared to Palantir, AppLovin's valuation is much lower. Palantir trades at 40 times next year's revenue, while AppLovin trades at 45 times next year's earnings. Meanwhile, AppLovin has also been growing its revenue at a faster clip. Last quarter, it grew its overall revenue by 39%, while Palantir grew its revenue by 30%. APP PE Ratio (Forward 1y) data by YCharts In December 2022, investors could have scooped up AppLovin stock for under $10, so investors could have turned a $35,000 investment into over $1 million in less than two years if they had held on to the stock. I would not expect that type of return from AppLovin moving forward, but I continue to think the stock could be a good option to consider for investors looking to build out a millionaire-making portfolio. I first wrote favorably about the stock back in April , when it was up 375% over the past year at the time, and the stock has not slowed down one bit. While its valuation has risen since then, its growth opportunities remain in place, and the stock is still not pricey.One day after enjoying a laugh at the expense of New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, quarterback Aaron Rodgers offered an unusually curt response Tuesday when asked about Johnson -- boosting the perception of a rift between them. Rodgers, discussing his future, said he must be "in the plans of multiple people, starting with the ownership" for the Jets to retain him in 2025. The future Hall of Famer sidestepped a question on whether he believes Johnson wants him back. "You should ask Woody," Rodgers said tersely. Has he had any conversations with Johnson about his future? "No." Editor's Picks Rodgers muses on 'being released by a teenager' 1d Rich Cimini Jets WR Garrett Wilson wants more targets, but says 'people see it differently' 1d Rich Cimini Week 17 NFL Power Rankings: 1-32 poll, plus every team's rookie of the year 10h NFL Nation Rodgers, 41, is preparing for what likely will be the final two games of his Jets' career -- and perhaps his NFL career. Despite an MCL injury to his left knee, Rodgers said he's planning to play Sunday against the Buffalo Bills , insisting, "There is no way I'm not playing." Earlier Tuesday, interim coach Jeff Ulbrich was noncommittal. With the Jets (4-11) closing out their most disappointing season in recent memory, the game is the secondary storyline to Rodgers, who continues to make headlines. On Monday, he poked Johnson during his weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," saying he's never been released by a teenager -- a reference to a recent story by The Athletic that said Johnson is influenced by his teenage sons, Brick and Jack. A source told ESPN recently that he'd be "shocked" if Johnson, 77, brings back Rodgers, who is under contract for 2025 but hasn't played up to expectations. In Week 6, Johnson suggested benching Rodgers, sources said. That didn't sit well with Rodgers, who has battled through various leg injuries to stay on the field. In recent days, Rodgers has talked openly about the possibility of being released, perhaps as soon as Jan. 6 -- the day after the season ends. He doesn't think that's likely, but he wouldn't rule it out. "I don't think it's a high percentage," he said. "I think this is probably a conversation to be had, but I'm just not naive to that being a zero [percent chance]." Rodgers, who said he will take time after the season to mull his future, expressed gratitude to the Johnsons for bringing him to New York in 2023 -- meaning Woody and his younger brother, Christopher, the vice chairman. Rodgers and Christopher are known to have a good relationship. Rodgers said it would be "special" to be asked back because it would mean they "see me as an important part of helping the culture, the changeover, whatever they do at head coach and helping the next wave of New York Jets. ... But if they don't, again, no offense at all will be taken." The four-time MVP also responded brusquely when asked about wide receiver Garrett Wilson , who has expressed frustration over his role in the offense. Rodgers didn't seem interested in explaining why Wilson's numbers have slipped. "I've talked to him throughout the season about some of [his frustrations]," Rodgers said, adding, "Not this week. No, not in the last couple of weeks, but it's not the first time. So, there's been conversations about it." After being a non-factor for most of Sunday's game, a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams , Wilson said he wants more targets, but "people see it differently." He didn't mention Rodgers by name, but the reference seemed obvious. On Monday, Ulbrich said Wilson needs to be more involved. "We have to find ways to get Garrett the ball more often," Ulbrich said. "He's one of the best players on our team, if not one of the best players in this league, especially at his position." Wilson has 90 receptions and is the fourth most-targeted player in the league (139), but his chances have declined since the arrival of Davante Adams in Week 7. Since the trade, Adams -- a longtime Rodgers friend -- has 93 targets and 56 receptions. Wilson has 74 and 49, respectively. Rodgers said he understands that receivers always want the ball, but he added, "There's a ton of plays in the plan for both him and Davante. That's how you usually you scheme out plays for your top players." He said coverage dictates where he throws the ball. "We've moved him around a bunch," Rodgers said of Wilson. "We give him a lot of plays where he's number one or two in the progression." In injury news, rookie left tackle Olu Fashanu suffered a plantar fascia injury on his left foot and was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. He won't need surgery, according to the Jets.
Upon apprehension, the suspect did not resist arrest and was taken into custody without incident. He is currently being held in police custody pending formal charges and a court hearing. The motive behind the shooting is still under investigation, and authorities are working to piece together the events leading up to the tragic incident.

(The Center Square) – Paula Scanlan is hopeful the narrative around gender ideology is shifting, especially as Republicans prepare for majorities in both chambers of the 119th Congress and a seat in the White House. “I am hopeful that with the majorities now that we will be able to get across the finish line,” Scanlan told The Center Square on Thursday, speaking of more legislation on the way to protect women's spaces. “Obviously, this goes beyond sports ... So ideally, I think that the biggest thing would be to federally pass something that says this is what a woman is.” Scanlan a day earlier was part of a panel where U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., announced that Republicans plan to soon introduce legislation to “protect children from transgender medical procedures.” A report from the advocacy group Do No Harm released four weeks before Election Day included documented evidence of such activity being performed on a 7-year-old . “We’ll be introducing the STOP Act soon,” said Marshall . “We are going to use the Commerce Act to punish people who perform any type of surgery, or who use any type of medications on minors.” STOP is an acronym for Safeguarding the Overall Protection of Minors. The panel said that the legislation is an important and necessary step to protect children. Scanlan and Marshall, a host with the American Principles Project, were on the panel alongside U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala.; U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill.; Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project; and Sarah Parshall Perry, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation. “We all know by now that so-called gender affirming care is anything but caring,” Tuberville said. “It is pure insanity and has caused irreversible damage to countless children. This isn’t about politics, this is about good and evil.” Scanlan is an ambassador for Independent Women's Voice and a former collegiate swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania. Swimming for the Quakers, she and teammates endured being not only on the same team but in the same locker room as a swimmer who for the first three years swam on the men's team. “I was a swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania and the administration, the university and the NCAA said , ‘Here's a man who wants to swim on your team, please accept him,’” she explained during the panel. “This entire situation really made all female athletes feel isolated and alone, and like they know where to go.” Scanlan said that it wasn’t just competing that isolated the female athletes. “Eighteen times per week, my teammates and I were forced to undress next to a 6-foot-4, fully-intact male,” Scanlan said. “As a female athlete, this was just something I couldn't even imagine. It was something I never imagined would happen to me when I went off to college.” The STOP Act is one of a few beginnings. U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., has proposed legislation seeking to protect women’s spaces on all federal property nationwide. This would include bathrooms, locker rooms and prisons. Scanlan said this shows that public opinion is on the side of her and the panel. “This is really the first time we're seeing more of these people in power stepping up and actually doing the right thing and saying enough is enough” she said. “Now, we are looking at entire teams that are feeling empowered to be able to boycott ... or object to competing against males. It's widespread.” A notable case of that is San Jose State, where Blaire Fleming's participation has led to seven opponents forfeiting rather than playing a women's team that includes a man saying he is a woman. Tuberville and Marshall emphasized they believe the majority of Americans would agree with the proposed legislation. "The American people are sick of this nonsense," Tuberville said . "It’s time we restore some sanity and get common sense back in this country." Scanlan said that while she supports the national legislation Republicans are considering, it is important for states to also continue to pass legislation. “I always remind people who are really excited about having a presidency that we don't know what might happen in four years," she said. "So, of course, it's also important to codify this in states. We are going to continue our efforts. There's still a lot of work to be done, and I don't really see it as a win until we've finished this on the state level.”'I'm doing it for her': Tatum's US family visit Hawks coach for Christmas
