A plurality of Americans believe President-elect Donald Trump will bring down the cost of food and groceries, a recently released CBS/YouGov survey found. The survey revealed that 44 percent believe Trump will make food and grocery prices “go down.” Another 35 percent believe they will go up, and 21 percent said they will “not change”: In other words, as CBS News puts it, there is “net optimism” about the effect Trump and his incoming administration will have on the price of groceries. This comes as the economy emerged as a top issue time and time again ahead of the presidential election. The survey also revealed that registered voters already have a more positive view of the economy post-election. In October, just 36 percent rated the economy as “good.” Now, that figure has risen to 42 percent. As CBS News reported: The percentage of Republicans who call the U.S. economy good, while still low, has gone up, as the percentage who call it very bad has dropped. That pushes voters’ overall evaluation of the economy slightly higher than it’s been this year — and further spotlights how much partisanship , along with optimism, always plays into these evaluations. The entire survey was taken November 19-22, 2024, among 2,232 U.S. adults. It has a +/- 2.3 percent margin of error. It coincides with a recent survey from the Economist /YouGov, which found a plurality, 37 percent, admitting that their Thanksgiving plans are affected by price increases. As Breitbart News detailed : A plurality of Republicans, 47 percent, said their plans are affected by price increases, and a plurality of independents, 35 percent, said the same. Three in ten Democrats, 29 percent, also admitted that their Thanksgiving plans have been affected by price increases. However, 47 percent of Democrats said their plans have not been affected — a sentiment shared by 32 percent of independents and 30 percent of Republicans. Notably, one quarter of voters for Vice President Kamala Harris acknowledged that price increases are affecting their holiday plans. Forty-eight percent of Trump voters said the same. All of these realities coincide with a Pew Research survey showing that 53 percent approve of Trump’s plans for the country. RELATED — Trump: MAGA Saving, Not Threatening Democracy

We take this matter very seriously and cannot ignore its implications. Consequently, we will begin removing all content featuring Mr. McGregor from our storefronts starting today." The Disruptor character was also featured in a downloadable content (DLC) pack, which has been removed from the "Hitman" online store. McGregor, a former UFC two-division champion, has been ordered to pay Hand a total of €248,603.60 ($261,246.63) in damages as a result of Friday's verdict. It's possible other McGregor products could disappear from store shelves, both online and in person. Cliona Saidlear, the executive director of Rape Crisis Center Ireland, has called for a boycott of McGregor's alcohol brands, Forged Irish Stout and Proper Twelve Whiskey. McGregor sold his whiskey brand in 2023, but remains the spokesperson. "The companies making money from his alcohol and other products need to look at whether they want to align themselves with a man found by a civil jury to have sexually assaulted a woman," "They need to stop promoting him and distance themselves... €250,000 won't dent his finances, but the public can play a role here in expressing disapproval for anyone that tries [to] make money with a man who engaged in that despicable behavior." A solidarity march for Hand took place Monday in Dublin's city center. McGregor, 36, has not competed in the UFC since a July 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier, during which he suffered a broken leg. UFC has yet to comment on McGregor being found liable for sexual assault.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Creighton point guard Steven Ashworth likely won't play Tuesday in the No. 21 Bluejays' game against San Diego State in the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas. Ashworth sprained his right ankle late in a loss to Nebraska on Friday, and coach Greg McDermott said he didn't know how long he would be out. “He stepped on a guy's foot on a 3-point shot and you're defenseless in that situation," McDermott said after the game. "He torqued it pretty good.” An athletic department spokesman said Monday that Ashworth's status was doubtful for the game against the Aztecs. Ashworth is Creighton's second-leading scorer with 16 points per game and leads the team with 6.4 assists per game. He also is 23 of 23 on free throws.

Their union earned them a Guinness World Record as the oldest newlyweds. Bernie Littman and Marjorie Fiterman set the record for the oldest couple to marry (combined age) when they exchanged vows on May 19 at the residence they both call home, confirmed by Guinness World Records. Littman and Fiterman met at a costume party at the facility and later discovered they had both attended the University of Philadelphia at the same time, but never crossed paths as students. Sarah Sicherman, Littman’s granddaughter, told the Jewish Chronicle the pair were “so lucky to have found each other and be a support to each other, especially during the pandemic”. She wrote on social media that Littman and Fiterman “both had 60-plus years of marriage to their first spouses and found love again at 100 years old!” Adam Wohlberg, who officiated the ceremony, told Fox News the couple had “eventually reached the point where being not just close friends – but husband and wife – felt like the right step to take.” Littman credited his long life to reading and staying up-to-date on world events, while Fiterman attributed her longevity to buttermilk. “They both love each other’s humour and intellect,” Sicherman told Guinness World Records, “they keep each other young”.
His recent beef with Drake ended in a resounding victory, he was awarded a coveted performance slot at the Super Bowl halftime show, and, earlier this month, he was nominated for seven Grammys. Yet on his surprise-released LP GNX , Kendrick Lamar seems mad as hell. A closer look at the lyrics offer some clues to his reasoning: People he cares about are dying and getting locked up; others he looked up to are either disappointed by him or disappointing him. Also, he’s clearly still sour about the entire feud with Drake. Even when he slips into standard rapper braggadocio (private jets, etc.), it feels like his heart isn’t in it. GNX Kendrick feels like someone trying to convince himself that all of this is still worth it. Being lonely at the top, of course, is nothing new; Drake himself expertly — if a bit cynically — commodified the successful sadboi schtick. And while it’s possible Kendrick saw the success of “Not Like Us” and leaned into indignance for commercial purposes, it’s also unlikely. Kendrick has been called many things, but a cynic is not one of them. What follows are 11 moments on GNX that force us to consider: After all the wins, what is Kendrick Lamar still so bitter about? Yesterday, somebody whacked out my mural That energy’ll make you niggas move to Europe But it’s regular for me, yeah, that’s for sure The love and hate is definite without a cure” — “wacced out murals” From the first bar on the first track, Kendrick wants us to know that, despite near universal acclaim, he’s not immune to hatred — even in his hometown. The mural in question, on the exterior of a Compton restaurant, was vandalized earlier this year with an “OVO” tag, among other verbal detritus. Snoop posted “Taylor Made,” I prayed it was the edibles — “wacced out murals” This bar is the facepalm emoji in lyric form. During their recent beef, Drake released a song called “Taylor Made Freestyle” that used computer-simulated voices emulating Tupac and Snoop Dogg. Snoop posted the track to Instagram , which Kendrick is clearly still sore about, but chalked it up to Uncle Snoop’s love for weed. (Snoop clearly still finds all of this hilarious .) Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down” — “wacced out murals” Won the Super Bowl and Nas the only one congratulate me — “wacced out murals” After Kendrick was announced as the headliner of the Super Bowl LIX halftime show in New Orleans, the typical praise chorus was far quieter. In its stead came (loud) doubts, with Birdman, Master P, Nicki Minaj, and others openly questioning the snub of hometown hero Lil Wayne. So while Kendrick will still get the benefits of the largest promotional vehicle in music, the fact that it comes at the cost of disappointing an artist he looks up to has clearly tarnished the experience. For his part, Wayne appears plagued by hurt feelings and short-term memory loss, wondering “ Man Wtf I Do ?!” just two months after admitting the snub “broke” him. Okay, fuck your hip-hop, I watched the party just die Niggas cackling about— while all of y’all is on trial Niggas thought that I was antisocial when I stayed inside of my house — “wacced out murals” It’s hard to tell which specific death or trial Kendrick is referring to here. What’s clear is that he’s hyperaware of the dangers that rappers face. Whether it’s prosecution by the government or violence from other gang members , Kendrick is fearful enough for his freedom and safety to simply stay inside. More money, more power, more freedom Everything Heaven allowed us, bitch I deserve it all — “man at the garden” Kendrick sounds like he’s trying to convince himself that he deserves his success and accolades. The doubt is coming from inside the house... How annoying, does it angers me to know the lames can speak On the origins of the game I breathe? That’s insane to me— “man at the garden” Certain levels of fame and fortune invite criticism from, well, everyone. Including “the lames.” It seems Kendrick has yet to accept this. I got this fire burnin’ in me from within Concentrated thoughts on who I used to be, I’m sheddin’ skin Every day, a new version of me, a third of me demented, cemented in pain Juggling opposing kinds of fame I don’t know how to make friends, I’m a lonely soul — “reincarnated” “Reincarnated” is a fascinating exercise in exploring the concept of reincarnation, imagining a spiritual connection to the ancestors. But before his trip through the past, he sets the emotional stage by reflecting on his painful growth as a remedy for his struggles with loneliness and self-doubt. He seeks not pity but salvation, searching for the fire to fuel his personal growth. It’s commendable, if a little sad. To all my young niggas, let me be the demonstration How to conduct differences with a healthy conversation If that’s your family, then handle it as such Don’t let the socials gas you up or let emotions be your crutch— “heart pt. 6” “Heart pt. 6” is a full-on nostalgia trip, with Kendrick reminiscing on a time when TDE was underground, Jay Rock was about to be the major label star, Ab-Soul was the genius lyricist, and Schoolboy Q wasn’t even rapping. But there’s a clear undertone of regret in how his relationship with TDE and Black Hippy dissolved, evidenced by this attempt at wise words directed at those who may follow in his footsteps. He’s achieved nearly everything someone in his position can achieve. But mans still misses making music with his best friends. Nigga feel like he entitled ’cause he knew me since a kid Bitch, I cut my granny off if she don’t see it how I see it, hm Got a big mouth but he lack big ideas — “tv off” Play that opp shit around me, I’ma tell you, “Turn it off” Heard what happened to your mans, not sorry for your loss — “peekaboo” True bitterness transcends even death. #RIPBOZO .Ball Corp. stock falls Tuesday, underperforms market

Investor Contact Greg Chodaczek [email protected]Special Counsel Jack Smith on Monday moved to dismiss the case against US President-elect Donald Trump for allegedly conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election he lost to Joe Biden. Smith, in a filing with the judge in Washington presiding over the historic case, said it should be dropped in light of a long-standing Justice Department policy not to prosecute a sitting president. The special counsel asked District Judge Tanya Chutkan to dismiss the case “without prejudice” — leaving open the possibility it could be revived after Trump leaves office four years from now. Possibilty of revival after Trump leaves office Smith paused the election interference case earlier this month after Trump defeated Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election. “The Government’s position on the merits of the defendant’s prosecution has not changed,” Smith said in the filing with Chutkan. “But the circumstances have.” “It has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President,” Smith said. ALSO READ: WATCH G20: Ramaphosa promises to carry on ‘good work’ done by Brazil “As a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated.” Trump’s communications director Steven Cheung welcomed the move to dismiss the case, calling it a “major victory for the rule of law.” “The American People and President Trump want an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and we look forward to uniting our country,” Cheung said in a statement. ‘Major victory for the rule of law’ Trump is accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding — the session of Congress called to certify Biden’s win, which was violently attacked on January 6, 2021, by a mob of the then-president’s supporters. Trump is also accused of seeking to disenfranchise US voters with his false claims that he won the 2020 election. Smith charged Trump with mishandling top secret documents after leaving the White House, but that case was tossed out by a federal judge in Florida, a Trump appointee, on the grounds that Smith was unlawfully appointed. ALSO READ: JD Vance’s rise through Trump’s unpredictable orbit Smith had appealed that dismissal but is now expected to drop the appeal. Trump also faces two state cases — in New York and Georgia. He was convicted in New York in May of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election to stop her from revealing an alleged 2006 sexual encounter. Trump’s cases Judge Juan Merchan has postponed sentencing while he considers a request from Trump’s lawyers that the conviction be thrown out in light of the Supreme Court ruling in July that an ex-president has broad immunity from prosecution. In Georgia, Trump faces racketeering charges over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election results in the southern state, but that case will likely be frozen while he is in office under the policy of not prosecuting a sitting president. – By: © Agence France-Presse
