Israel strikes kill 52 in Lebanon as Hezbollah targets south IsraelGun found on suspect in killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO matches shell casings at scene, police say ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) — New York City’s police commissioner says the gun found on the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO matches shell casings found at the crime scene. Commissioner Jessica Tisch also said Wednesday that lab results matched suspect Luigi Mangione’s prints to a water bottle and a snack bar wrapper found near the scene of the killing. Police had said earlier that they believed the gunman bought the items at a nearby coffee shop while awaiting his target. Mangione is jailed in Pennsylvania on weapon and forgery charges, but he also has been charged with murder in Brian Thompson's death. Arguments over whether Luigi Mangione is a 'hero' offer a glimpse into an unusual American moment Memes and online posts in support of 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, who's charged with killing UnitedHealthcare's CEO, have mushroomed online. Some cast Mangione as a hero. That's too far, says Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a rising Democrat who was almost the Democratic vice presidential nominee this year. CEO Brian Thompson's death touched off off these ripples. They offer a glimpse into how so many different aspects of 21st-century life can be surreally connected, from public violence to politics, from health care to humor, or attempts at it. The Trump and Biden teams insist they're working hand in glove on foreign crises WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump doesn’t think much of Joe Biden’s foreign policy record. He frequently casts the outgoing Democratic president as a feckless leader who shredded American credibility around the world during his four-year term. But the Trump and Biden national security teams have come to an understanding that they have no choice but to work together as conflicts in Gaza, Syria and Ukraine have left a significant swath of the world on a knife’s edge. It’s fuzzy how much common ground Biden and Trump’s teams have found as they navigate crises that threaten to cause more global upheaval as Trump prepares to settle back into the White House. FBI Director Wray says he intends to resign at end of Biden's term in January WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI Director Christopher Wray says he plans to resign at the end of President Joe Biden’s term in January. The announcement Wednesday comes a week and a half after President-elect Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate loyalist Kash Patel for the position. At a town hall meeting with the bureau workforce, Wray said he would be stepping down “after weeks of careful thought.” Wray had previously been named by Trump and began the 10-year term. a length meant to insulate the agency from the political influence of changing administrations — in 2017, after Trump fired then-FBI Director, James Comey. Syrians flock to morgues looking for loved ones who perished in Assad's prisons DAMASCUS (AP) — Many bodies have been found in Syrian detention centers and prisons since President Bashar al-Assad's government fell. Now Syrians around the world are circulating images of the corpses in hopes that they will see slain loved ones whose fate had been a mystery. At the morgue visited by The Associated Press on Wednesday in Damascus, families flocked to a wall where some of the pictures were pinned in a haunting gallery of the dead. Relatives desperately scanned the images for a recognizable face. Some of the prisoners died just weeks ago. Others perished months earlier. US warns Russia may be ready to use new lethal missile against Ukraine again in 'coming days' WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon says Russia could launch its lethal new intermediate-range ballistic missile against Ukraine again soon. Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh cited a U.S. intelligence assessment in telling reporters on Wednesday that an attack could come “in the coming days.” She says the U.S. does not consider the Oreshnik missile a game changer on the battlefield. But that Russia is using the weapon to intimidate Ukraine as both sides wrestle for an advantage that will give them leverage in any negotiations to end the war. The Russian Defense Ministryalso is warning it may retaliate against Kyiv for an attack on a military base in the Rostov region in southern Russia on Wednesday. Israeli strikes on Gaza kill at least 33 including children, Palestinian medics say DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Palestinian medical officials say Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip have killed at least 33 people. One of the strikes hit a home where displaced people were sheltering in the isolated north, killing 19. A separate strike outside nearby Kamal Adwan Hospital killed a woman and her two children, and another strike in central Gaza killed at least seven people. Israel's military says it tries to avoid harming civilians and accuses militants of hiding among them, putting their lives in danger. Local health officials say Israel’s retaliatory offensive after the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023 has killed over 44,000 Palestinians in Gaza. Only about 2 in 10 Americans approve of Biden's pardon of his son Hunter, an AP-NORC poll finds WASHINGTON (AP) — Only about 2 in 10 Americans approve of President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter after earlier promising he'd do no such thing. That's according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The survey found that only a small share of Americans “strongly” or “somewhat” approve of the president's decision. About half “strongly” or “somewhat” disapprove of it, and about one-quarter said they neither approve nor disapprove. Nevertheless, about 4 in 10 Americans said they approve of the way Biden is handling his job as president. That's roughly where his approval rating has stood in AP-NORC polling since 2022. Malibu wildfire grows, thousands remain evacuated but firefighters get break from improving weather MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — Weather conditions are forecast to improve this week in Southern California and aid firefighters in their battle against a wildfire that’s forced up to 20,000 people from their homes.

Biden admin proposes new cybersecurity rules to limit impact of healthcare data leaks
President-elect Donald Trump will be Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” for the second time. The prestigious award is given to the individual or group who has most affected the world, for good or ill. Time will make the official announcement on Thursday, December 12, marking a big milestone in Trump’s political career. Trump’s selection as Time’s Person of the Year in 2024 comes after a political resurgence that has captured the attention of the nation. His rise to prominence, which saw him clinch the presidency in 2016, has been followed by a remarkable return to the political stage. This time, his selection for the honor highlights the significant impact he has had on American politics and global affairs. The announcement of his selection is expected to be a celebratory moment, as Trump is scheduled to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. This year, Trump’s selection is just like the first recognition in 2016 when he was named Person of the Year following his unexpected victory in the presidential election. That year, Time recognized his ability to defy expectations and disrupt the political establishment. However, in 2024, Trump’s selection reflects the continued influence he wields in American politics as well as the ability to shape global events even after leaving the White House. Trump’s Obsession With Time’s ‘Person Of The Year’ Title Despite the decline of its circulation, Time magazine continues to hold onto the ‘person of the year’ designation as one of its great cultural markers. Trump long has obsessed over that privilege. The former president once publicly expressed his incredulity at the prospect of Time ever anointing him Person of the Year again. Yet now, less than a decade on, he will be so named again. In 2009, a Trump Person of the Year cover was reproduced in several of his golf clubs, although a copy was never actually printed out. This is a defining moment in Trump’s life, and it has etched his name into the history books. Though Trump is the Person of the Year, Time has other honorees for the year. The basketball player Caitlin Clark has been named Athlete of the Year for her great performances in sports. Elton John: The renowned singer is deemed an Icon of the Year through his ever-lasting impact on both music and culture. In further recognition, Lisa Su-the CEO at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)-is this year’s CEO of the Year based on her own leadership, achievements in her field. The Time “Person of the Year” award is considered one of the most honorable titles; and it has been given to such people who have significantly molded global events. It identifies people whose actions had steered history in a year. Winston Churchill, for instance, Queen Elizabeth II, and Vladimir Putin had made an indelible mark in world affairs while being in the list of person of the year. Time’s spokesperson confirmed to Politico that the magazine would not comment on the 2024 selection prior to its official announcement on December 12. The choice of Donald Trump, however, is going to dominate headlines once again and affirm his role in shaping the political landscape of the 21st century.

Matt Gaetz says he won't return to Congress next year after withdrawing name for attorney general WASHINGTON (AP) — Matt Gaetz is not coming back to Congress. The Florida Republican said Friday he has no intention of serving another term in the House now that he is no longer President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. Gaetz withdrew as the nominee this week amid growing fallout from the allegations of sexual conduct against him. Gaetz denies the allegations. Gaetz didn't lay out his plans now that he's out of office, saying only, “I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch." After Gaetz's withdrawal on Thursday, Trump named former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi to lead the Justice Department. Vance takes on a more visible transition role as he works to boost Trump's most controversial picks WASHINGTON (AP) — After several weeks working behind closed doors, Vice President-elect JD Vance returned to Capitol Hill this week in a new, more visible role. He's been helping Donald Trump’s most contentious Cabinet picks try to win confirmation in the Senate, where he has served for the last two years. Vance spent part of Wednesday at the Capitol with Rep. Matt Gaetz sitting in on meetings with Trump’s controversial choice for attorney general. On Thursday, Vance was back, this time accompanying Pete Hegseth. Vance is expected to accompany other nominees for meetings over the coming weeks as he tries to leverage the two years he has spent in the Senate to help push through Trump’s picks. Beyond evangelicals, Trump and his allies courted smaller faith groups, from the Amish to Chabad Donald Trump’s lock on the white evangelical vote is legendary, but he didn't focus exclusively on large religious voter blocs. He and his allies also wooed smaller religious groups, away from the mainstream. He posted a tribute to Coptic church members on social media and met with members of Assyrians for Trump — two smaller Christian communities with Middle Eastern roots. He visited the grave of the revered late leader of an Orthodox Jewish movement. His allies sought votes from the separatist Amish community. While Trump won decisively, the outreaches reflected aggressive campaigning in what was expected to be a tight race. NATO and Ukraine to hold emergency talks after Russia's attack with new hypersonic missile KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — NATO and Ukraine will hold emergency talks Tuesday after Russia attacked a central city with a hypersonic ballistic missile that escalated the nearly 33-month-old war. Ukraine's parliament canceled a session Friday over the security threat. In a stark warning to the West, President Vladimir Putin said in a nationally televised speech Thursday that the attack with the intermediate-range Oreshnik missile was retaliation for Kyiv’s use of U.S. and British longer-range missiles capable of striking deeper into Russian territory. Putin said Russia is launching production of the Oreshnik, saying it's so powerful that several of them fitted with conventional warheads could be as devastating as a strike with strategic — or nuclear — weapons. Texas education board approves optional Bible-infused curriculum for elementary schools AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas’ education board has voted to allow Bible-infused teachings in elementary schools. The approval Friday follows other Republican-led states that have pushed this year to give religion a larger presence in public classrooms. The curriculum adopted by the Texas State Board of Education is optional for schools to adopt, but they’ll receive additional funding if they do so. Parents and teachers who opposed the curriculum say the lessons will alienate students of other faith backgrounds. Supporters argue the Bible is a core feature of American history and that teaching it will enrich learning. 2 convicted in human smuggling case after Indian family froze to death on US-Canada border FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (AP) — A jury has convicted two men of charges related to human smuggling for their roles in an international operation that led to the deaths of a family of Indian migrants who froze while trying to cross the Canada-U.S. border during a 2022 blizzard. Harshkumar Ramanlal Patel and Steve Shand each faced four charges related to human smuggling before being convicted on Friday. Patel is an Indian national. Shand is an American from Florida. They were arrested after the family froze while trying to cross the desolate border during a 2022 blizzard. Northern California gets record rain and heavy snow. Many have been in the dark for days in Seattle FORESTVILLE, Calif. (AP) — A major storm with heavy snow and record rain that's moving through Northern California has toppled trees, closed roads and prompted evacuations in some areas after knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of people in Washington and Oregon. Forecasters warn that the risk of flash flooding and rockslides will continue through Friday. The National Weather Service has extended a flood watch for areas north of San Francisco as a plume of moisture known as an atmospheric river inundates Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. Up to 16 inches of rain is forecast in Northern California and southwestern Oregon. The storm system unleashed winds earlier this week that left two people dead and hundreds of thousands without power in Washington. Archaeologists discover 4,000-year-old canals used to fish by predecessors of ancient Maya WASHINGTON (AP) — Using drones and Google Earth imagery, archaeologists have discovered a 4,000-year-old network of earthen canals in what’s now Belize. The research published Friday in Science Advances shows that long before the ancient Maya built temples, their predecessors were already altering the landscape of Central America’s Yucatan peninsula. The ancient fish canals were used to channel and catch freshwater species such as catfish. These structures were used for around 1,000 years — including during the “formative” period when the Maya began to settle in permanent farming villages and a distinctive culture started to emerge. California case is the first confirmed bird flu infection in a US child Health officials are confirming bird flu in a California child — the first reported case in a U.S. minor. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced confirmatory test results on Friday. Officials say the child had mild symptoms, was treated with antiviral medication and is recovering. The child’s infection brings the reported number of U.S. bird flu cases this year to 55, including 29 in California. State officials have said the child lives in Alameda County, which includes Oakland, and attends day care, but released no other details. Giants release quarterback Daniel Jones just days after benching him EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Daniel Jones era in New York is over. The Giants quarterback was granted his release by the team just days after the franchise said it was benching him in favor of third-stringer Tommy DeVito. New York president John Mara said Jones approached the team about releasing him and the club obliged. Mara added he was “disappointed” at the quick dissolution of a once-promising relationship between Jones and the team. Giants coach Brian Daboll benched Jones in favor of DeVito following a loss to the Panthers in Germany that dropped New York's record to 2-8.BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. (WV News) - Bridgeport's Carson Currey didn't mind the pressure that came with either pitching role he was given last spring. He not only got the start on the mound but pitched in relief as well. And now he will have the opportunity to pitch at the next level. On Thursday, Currey, joined by his teammates, assistant coach and family members, signed his letter of intent to play baseball for Glenville State University. "It really came down to it not that long ago, I went on a visit and the coach reached out to me after a tournament," Currey said. "(The) coach reached out to me, I went on a visit and honestly, I fell in love with the facilities and their campus. It's a really nice place and it's not too big, so I feel like I could really get to know my professors and have a good time with the fellas over there." He credits Bridgeport in helping him to prepare for the next level. "I'm excited for (the future)," Currey said. "Obviously, Bridgeport's done so well for me, I love it here, but I'm really excited for starting the next chapter and I think Glenville's a great place for that." Since he has pitched in both a starting and a relief role, he is familiar with the mindsets associated with each role. In Bridgeport's 1-0 victory over University last spring, he pitched a two-hit shutout. "It's really just (two different mindsets)," Currey said. "(Bridgeport baseball) coach (Robert) Shields will tell me, 'Hey, you're going to close today or you're going to start today.' Starting in that morning, you have to get yourself in a starter's mindset, so be prepared to go a full day. You have to get your recovery ready, and then closing, you have all day to prepare and then all game, so it depends what the game's like and who we're playing as well." He is already acquainted with some of his soon-to-be teammates, one of which he has played against. "One of my buddies, JD Ford from (Robert C.) Byrd, he just signed there, and I got to meet a couple of them - one of them is from Canada (that I met) whenever I got to go on my visit," Currey said. "It's cool because they have a lot of guys from all around the world, so I'll get to meet a bunch of new people, learn a bunch of new things." He is planning to major in psychology with a minor in criminal justice. "I love it," Currey said. "I think I'm going to do psychology and get a minor in criminal justice. I want to be a police officer once I graduate, so I really, really like it up there. I take psychology right now through Fairmont State and I love that class."

Short-rested Chiefs, Steelers gear up for Christmas Day clashA Look at Potential Trudeau ReplacementsThe US stock market saw an impressive boost, primarily driven by gains in semiconductor stocks like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Broadcom, and NVIDIA. As investors evaluate the impacts of financial regulatory updates and trade tensions, market dynamics are rapidly shifting. Inflation Insights and Fed Decisions Although inflation appears to be cooling, it remains above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, leaving decision-makers cautious. The core PCE price index—the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge—logged its smallest increase since May, rising just 0.1% from the previous month. This tepid rise indicates closer alignment with targets but also highlights ongoing inflationary challenges. Despite lowering interest rates last week, the Fed plans minimal rate cuts before 2025. Trade and Technology Under the Spotlight In a move with potential ripple effects, the US Trade Representative announced a 301 investigation targeting Chinese-made semiconductors. The outcome leaves the possibility of imposing tariffs to future administrations, keeping trade relations in flux. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is set to overhaul annual “stress tests” for major banks, aiming for enhanced transparency and robustness. Mixed Fortunes for Tech Titans Tech giants experienced varied results. Meta made strides with a 2.49% jump thanks to new smart glasses innovations, while Microsoft saw a marginal dip. Qualcomm, however, celebrated a 3.50% rise after securing a patent lawsuit victory. Analysts are optimistic about the prospects of a “Santa Claus rally” that could uplift markets before the year closes, historically a period of gains. Market Closure Reminder For traders eyeing holiday breaks, remember that the US stock market will shutter early on December 24. Keep this date in mind as you strategize for year-end moves. Sizzling Stock Market Secrets Unveiled Unpacking the Latest Stock Market Surge The recent surge in the US stock market has been noteworthy, particularly fueled by significant gains in the semiconductor sector. Stocks like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Broadcom, and NVIDIA have led this upswing, reflecting broader shifts in investor sentiment amidst evolving financial regulations and global trade tensions. The Innovation Behind Semiconductor Peaks The growth in semiconductor stocks isn’t just a fleeting trend; it’s fueled by groundbreaking innovations and increased demand for high-performance computing and artificial intelligence. The sector continually surprises with cutting-edge advancements, underscoring its pivotal role in technology and the broader economy. For those interested in a deeper dive into semiconductor technology, consider exploring Intel’s website where you can explore more about the latest microchip advancements. Understanding Federal Reserve Strategy As inflation shows signs of cooling, it’s not quite in the clear yet. The core PCE price index, a key measure under the Federal Reserve’s scrutiny, exhibited the smallest rise since May, highlighting a complex economic landscape. Despite recent interest rate cuts, the Fed maintains a cautious stance, planning minimal additional cuts until 2025. This suggests a measured approach to balancing economic stability with growth. Trade and Technology: A Closer Look Significant developments are underway in US trade policy, particularly a new 301 investigation of Chinese-made semiconductors. This could have long-term implications for global trade relations and technology markets. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve’s upcoming overhaul of bank stress tests seeks to enhance financial transparency and resilience. Tech Industry: Wins and Woes Tech giants are navigating varied fortunes. Meta’s 2.49% climb, powered by innovations in smart glasses, contrasts with a minor downturn for Microsoft. Qualcomm’s triumphant 3.50% rise, post-patent lawsuit victory, indicates positive momentum. Analysts predict the potential for a “Santa Claus rally,” a historical trend of market gains fulfilling investor hopes for a strong year-end. Remember Important Market Dates Investors should note that the US stock market will close early on December 24, a critical detail for strategizing year-end financial maneuvers. This nuanced market landscape offers intriguing insights and opportunities for both seasoned investors and newcomers to explore potential gains heading into the year’s final stretch. Understanding these shifts can provide a strategic edge in this rapidly changing environment.
