By DAVID BAUDER Time magazine gave Donald Trump something it has never done for a Person of the Year designee: a lengthy fact-check of claims he made in an accompanying interview.

Described as a “12 minute read,” it calls into question 15 separate statements that Trump made. It was the second time Trump earned the Time accolade; he also won in 2016, the first year he was elected president. Time editors said it wasn’t a particularly hard choice over other finalists Kamala Harris, Elon Musk, Benjamin Netanyahu and Kate Middleton. Time said Friday that no other Person of the Year has been fact-checked in the near-century that the magazine has annually written about the figure that has had the greatest impact on the news. But it has done the same for past interviews with the likes of Joe Biden, Netanyahu and Trump. Such corrections have been a sticking point for Trump and his team in the past, most notably when ABC News did it during his only debate with Democrat Kamala Harris this fall. There was no immediate response to a request for comment on Friday. In the piece, Time called into question statements Trump made about border security, autism and the size of a crowd at one of his rallies. When the president-elect talked about the “massive” mandate he had received from voters, Time pointed out that former President Barack Obama won more electoral votes the two times he had run for president. The magazine also questioned Trump’s claim that he would do interviews with anyone who asked during the campaign, if he had the time. The candidate rejected a request to speak to CBS’ “60 Minutes,” the magazine said. “In the final months of his campaign, Trump prioritized interviews with podcasts over mainstream media,” reporters Simmone Shah and Leslie Dickstein wrote.

Manchester City let a three-goal lead slip at home to Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday to cap another disastrous episode in a worrying spell. ( More Football News ) Pep Guardiola's side came into the match having lost each of their last five matches in all competitions, although cruised into the lead. Erling Haaland bagged a brace for the hosts either side of an Ilkay Gundogan goal, which had them on course to end their disappointing run before huge defensive mistakes saw them implode in the final 15 minutes. Feyenoord's reply began through Anis Hadj Moussa, who made the most of a mistake from Josko Gvardiol in the 75th minute. Santiago Gimenez then got their second seven minutes later, cheating in Jordan Lotomba's cross after another wayward Gvardiol pass. David Hancko completed the barely believable comeback in the 89th minute after Ederson was beaten by Igor Paixao, who crossed for the goal. Following the draw, Manchester City dropped to 15th in the 36-team league, five places and one point above Feyenoord. 75 - Manchester City are the first team in UEFA Champions League history to be leading a match by three goals as late as the 75th minute and fail to go on to win. Unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/QFkxrMUEbN Data debrief: Sorry City slump to new low While Manchester City ended their losing run here, that does not tell half the story for a previously all-conquering side that look devoid of confidence. Guardiola's side have now gone six matches without a victory in all competitions. They are also the first team in Champions League history to be leading a match by three goals at the 75-minute mark and fail to win.
NEW YORK (AP) — Top-ranked chess player Magnus Carlsen is headed back to the World Blitz Championship on Monday after its governing body agreed to loosen a dress code that got him fined and denied a late-round game in another tournament for refusing to change out of jeans . Lamenting the contretemps, International Chess Federation President Arkady Dvorkovich said in a statement Sunday that he'd let World Blitz Championship tournament officials consider allowing “appropriate jeans” with a jacket, and other “elegant minor deviations” from the dress code. He said Carlsen's stand — which culminated in his quitting the tournament Friday — highlighted a need for more discussion “to ensure that our rules and their application reflect the evolving nature of chess as a global and accessible sport.” Carlsen, meanwhile, said in a video posted Sunday on social media that he would play — and wear jeans — in the World Blitz Championship when it begins Monday. “I think the situation was badly mishandled on their side,” the 34-year-old Norwegian grandmaster said. But he added that he loves playing blitz — a fast-paced form of chess — and wanted fans to be able to watch, and that he was encouraged by his discussions with the federation after Friday's showdown. “I think we sort of all want the same thing,” he suggested in the video on his Take Take Take chess app’s YouTube channel. “We want the players to be comfortable, sure, but also relatively presentable.” The events began when Carlsen wore jeans and a sportcoat Friday to the Rapid World Championship, which is separate from but held in conjunction with the blitz event. The chess federation said Friday that longstanding rules prohibit jeans at those tournaments, and players are lodged nearby to make sartorial switch-ups easy if needed. An official fined Carlsen $200 and asked him to change pants, but he refused and wasn't paired for a ninth-round game, the federation said at the time. The organization noted that another grandmaster, Ian Nepomniachtchi, was fined earlier in the day for wearing sports shoes, changed and continued to play. Carlsen has said that he offered to wear something else the next day, but officials were unyielding. He said “it became a bit of a matter of principle,” so he quit the rapid and blitz championships. In the video posted Sunday, he questioned whether he had indeed broken a rule and said changing clothes would have needlessly interrupted his concentration between games. He called the punishment “unbelievably harsh.” “Of course, I could have changed. Obviously, I didn’t want to,” he said, and “I stand by that.”Chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen returns to a tournament after a dispute over jeans is resolved‘We didn’t have a good day’: Greens set to suffer significant election losses
Sun Communities, Inc. (NYSE:SUI) Shares Sold by Natixis Advisors LLC
Investors worried about a stock market sell-off may feel the urge to sell out of their positions and run for the exits. But long-term investors know that it's a mistake to overhaul your investing strategy based on emotion. A better approach is to ensure you are invested in companies that suit your risk tolerance and can help you achieve your investment objectives. Dividend stocks are a great way to generate passive income without the need to sell out of a position. Particularly safe options include companies like Lockheed Martin ( LMT -0.21% ) , American Water Works ( AWK -0.69% ) , and Kenvue ( KVUE -0.88% ) , which have recession-resistant business models and emphasize dividend raises. Here's why all three dividend stocks are worth buying in 2025. 1. Lockheed Martin After its stock price reached an all-time high earlier this year, Lockheed Martin and its defense contractor peers have sold off considerably over the last few months, possibly due to valuation concerns. Lockheed's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is now back down to 17.6 -- right around its 10-year median P/E of 17.9. Despite a broad portfolio of segments spanning aeronautics, missiles and fire control, rotary and mission systems, and space (mainly satellites), Lockheed Martin tends to have a relatively low valuation because of its mediocre growth prospects. With the vast majority of sales going to the U.S. government, Lockheed's top customer is unlikely to make sweeping changes to the defense budget overnight. However, investors can pencil in slow and steady growth for Lockheed over time, making it a reliable dividend stock. Lockheed just raised its dividend for the 22nd consecutive year and features a yield of 2.7% -- which is considerably higher than the S&P 500 's yield of just 1.2%. Investors worried about a stock market sell-off in 2025 can rest easy knowing that Lockheed has an extensive order backlog and can do well no matter what the economic situation might be. Lockheed finished the quarter ended Sept. 29 with a $166 billion order backlog spread across its four segments. For context, Lockheed is guiding for 2024 sales of $71.25 billion. Add it all up, and Lockheed is a safe dividend stock at a good value to buy in 2025. 2. American Water Works The regulated water utility provides drinking water and wastewater services to customers in California, Hawaii, the Midwest, the Mid-Atlantic, and parts of the South. The business model is fairly straightforward. American Water Works delivers essential services to a growing population and works with regulators and government agencies to set prices so customers aren't overcharged. Still, American Water Works earns enough to maintain operations and invest in new infrastructure. The investment thesis is centered around a growing, healthy dividend. The company targets an annual growth rate of 7% to 9% per year while keeping a payout ratio of 55% to 60%. By keeping a lid on its payout ratio, the company maintains a healthy balance sheet and still has money left over to reinvest in the business. Shares of American Water Works have sold off about 13% in the past three months, bringing the yield back up to 2.5%. American Water Works isn't the type of company that will gush growth. Still, it can do well no matter what the economy or broader stock market are doing, making it a reliable dividend stock to buy in 2025 for risk-averse investors. 3. Kenvue Consumer healthcare company Kenvue is about as boring as American Water Works. However, nothing is boring about the passive income opportunity for Kenvue investors, who can get a 3.8% yield from the stock. The company's brands include recognizable names like Aveeno, Band-Aid, Listerine, Neutrogena, and Tylenol. There's not a lot of new innovation at Kenvue; rather, the idea is to maintain industry leadership of existing brands to foster moderate volume and price increases over time. Kenvue spun off from Johnson & Johnson in August 2023, inheriting J&J's Dividend King streak. Kenvue's first dividend raise as an independent company came on July 25, when it announced a modest 2.5% increase to the quarterly payout. It's not sizable by any means, but Kenvue already has a high yield, even compared to other consumer staples stocks . Activist investor Starboard Value acquired a stake in Kenvue , believing there's value to unlock from its top brands. It remains to be seen if Kenvue will enter a faster pace of dividend growth and buybacks in the future. But Starboard's stake is an encouraging sign that Kenvue has more potential than meets the eye. Kenvue is a high-yield stock worth buying for passive income investors. Demand for Kenvue's products should hold fairly steady no matter what the economy is doing, making it a good choice for folks focused on dividend income and capital preservation rather than capital appreciation.Trump nominates Charles Kushner, who he pardoned in 2020, as US Ambassador to France
