In its collaborative efforts with Nigeria to deliver high quality Medicare in Nigeria, an ultra-modern medical facility specializing in trauma-related ailments has been established in Lagos, Nigeria by the Indians. Nebula Care Hospital Limited with company number: RC-7133773, incorporated in Nigeria on Sep 12, 2023 is situated at Wilmer Street, Ilupeju, Lagos State. The chairman of Nebula Hospital Care Limited is Dr. J.G. Makadia. Nebula Care was opened on the 19th December, 2024, even as the management disclosed that the hospital has the latest high tech in medical delivery offerings and that it would handle general sickness, general trauma, joint replacement, spine, physiotherapy services, general surgery, gynaecology, Dentistry, radiology, x-ray, ECG, sonography, ultrasound, has pharmacy, and clinical laboratory, among others. Its specialty is in orthopaedic trauma, accidental trauma, related spine surgery, as a team of Indian medical specialists will be coming from India, to join their Nigerian counterparts to carry out major surgical operations as soon as the need arise.While declaring the hospital open, Consulate General of India/High Commissioner of India to Nigeria, Shri Chandramouli Kumar Kern, spoke glowingly about the hospital and the optimism it holds for Medicare in not only Lagos State but Nigeria in General. Makadia stated that Nebula is a very well-known name in the field of orthopaedic implant and related items. He said “I am very glad to open this facility, Nebula Care Hospital, it is going to be very significant in the health care system in Lagos and Nigeria. Nebula is a very well-known name in the field of orthopaedic implant and related items, they have many products which are very helpful in the rehabilitation of patients. “Modern day’s technology is evolving everyday so the health care system is also evolving, the most important this is the facilities are up to date and world class for the benefits of Lagosians. I am happy to note that this facility is wonderful. ”Shri Chandramouli Kumar Kern also spoke about the economic angle of the hospital to Nigerians as it is not only going to reduce medical tourism to India, it is going to bring down the cost of medical treatment. “It is possible to receive treatments for which Nigerians travel to India thereby saving millions of dollars on transportation. “This is possible, you see, I am going to give you an example, India is 9000 kilometers from this place, and still many people travel to India to obtain medical care, this facility is now right here in Lagos, it is going to be wonderful. You see people come to our Consulate for Visa and Visa is around a million, then after, the ticket is around a million, about N4million is spend without taking any medicine, without taking any medical care, but if you have the facility locally that would be more than enough for treating patients,He added that the hospital would br cost effective. “This is going to be cost effective also. This hospital can keep tracking people and when two, three patients are here, they could be operated here in their local Environment, they don’t have to eat Indian food, they would eat their own egusi soup, and get the treatment. You see, fantastic, I have come across many Nigerians, they said look, medical facility is wonderful but because of food I will not go to India. It is difficult, when you move to a place and you stay there for a month, it is difficult, the same thing if I have to go to America for treatment, it is going to be difficult for me. So it is a great thing that this facility is coming locally in Lagos and indeed Nigeria. ”I was at Java Moss they have started antibiotic factory, so they are going to be manufacturing antibiotics here, it is great. The local Indians are joining together with their Nigerian counterparts to create a better health care system that help to improve the health care ecosystem. “This is wonderful news, I congratulate the team of Nebular Care that this facility should be successful so that more value will be added in the health care system.Shri Chandramouli Kumar Kern who also commended other Indian investors in the healthcare system said the hospital is affordable. “If it is not cost effective this place will not grow, the local facility is certainly going to be cost effective, if they are bringing doctors from India or any other facilities, there would be five, ten, 20 people so that will spread the cost so it they charge you, it would be spread on 20 not on one person who is going to India. ”While stating that the facility is the only Nebula Hospital in Nigeria disclosed that India has very warm relationship with Nigeria. “Indian government has a very warm relationship with the Lagos State and Nigeria governments, you may be aware that the Indian Prime Minister was here and we had great engagement with the President, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the cooperation is vibrant, and we are happy to assist the Nigerian healthcare system in any way possible. “I am saying we are for even the local production of medicine, we are not just for supplying of medicine from India, no, the medical facility should grow in Nigeria locally. We have witnessed this when Covid was there, people were having money but they could not get medicine, if there was local production of medicine, you would have medicine any time. So that is important that local manufacturing facility grow, and we are here to support this cause, with the API, the technology, the machine, everything. We are ready to assist Nigeria, Lagos State Government as far as the hospital is concerned,” he said.General Manager of Nebular Care Hospital Mr Jay Ghosalkai, made it public that the hospital handles all types of general sicknesses, general trauma, joint replacement, spine, physiotherapy services, general surgery, gynaecology, Dentistry, radiology, x-ray, ECG, sonography, ultra sound, has pharmacy, clinical laboratory. ”Our specialty is in orthopaedic trauma, anything accidental trauma, related spine surgery, my team will be coming from India, they are specialists. They are specialising in trauma and joint replacement, also we have some of the Nigerian doctors who are one of the best in Nigeria today, who will also be coming for surgery here.Razaq Olusola Ajala, Chairman, Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye Local Council Development Area (LCDA) who was present at the inauguration of the hospital said he felt elated and happy. He acknowledged the contributions of Indians in Ilupeju where he is the chief host even as he averred that the hospital would be of mutual benefits to both the locals and the Indians. “This hospital in Idi-Olowo-Ojuwoye by extension, Lagos State will automatically reduce medical tourism, most of our people travel to India and other developed climes because of the belief that they have the capacity in terms of manpower and facilities to attend to their health challenges, so with the location of this facility given the number of experts that will be working within the facility, the equipment, our people need not look elsewhere, they will see this place as a destination of choice whenever they are challenged health-wise because the same treatment they are given in India and other climes, they can as well get it here. Why wasting your money traveling from here to India, if you even think of the attendant risks involved in travelling from here to those places, as I said earlier, it is a destination of choice,” Ajala stated.He said there is excellent relationship between his government and the Indian community and as the local government Chairman he would ensure his ward patronize the facility. “The truth is that we have excellent relationship with Indian community. You would agree with me that we have long history that is of mutual benefit to both parties, I mean Nigerians and Indians. When you are talking of communities with highest concentration of Indians, you would agree with me that Ilupeju happens to be one of that community, we have excellent relationship between the government of Idi-Olowo-Ojuwoye Local Council Development Area and the Indians here. “It is a symbiotic relationship, we are lucky the Indians are lucky, because we have used the instrumentality of our position to provide a conducive environment for them to sleep with their two eyes open, and for them to see our community as a destination of choice whenever they want to make investment decision. ”He said his government ensures the safety and well-being of everyone no matter the nationality or tribe. “My leadership platform ensures that everyone living within Idi-Olowo-Ojuwoye Local Council Development Area whether you are Indian, Briton, American, Nigerian, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, it is my responsibility as a government to ensure we have excellent relationship with all the security operatives of our people to be able to sleep with our two eyes closed, and to some extent, I think we have been able to achieve that.”You could call it a backlash, but perhaps the better term is cultural revenge. Following his resounding election victory, US President-elect Donald Trump wasted no time in showing Americans, and the world, that he was deadly serious about his plans. Given Trump’s volatility, and his tendency towards hyperbole, post-election political commentary had immediately focused on whether he would really do the things he promised during the campaign. Trump’s picks: Bobby Kennedy Jr for health and Elon Musk for government efficiency. Credit: Michael Howard Is Trump serious about military-assisted mass deportations of undocumented immigrants? About the imposition of trade tariffs and deep cuts to government budgets? Will he really “drain the swamp” and end “wokeness”? His highly publicised cabinet appointments – which have been rolling out over recent weeks like a series of jokes leading to a killer punchline – tell us that, yep, he’s for real. The United States – under the MAGAdministration – will do exactly what it promises on the tin. A brief tour through the collection of hacks, maddies, phoneys and sex pests Trump has picked to implement his agenda must begin with his nominee for attorney-general, Matt Gaetz, who late this week withdrew his bid for the job, following a torrid week of publicity over sexual misconduct allegations. Gaetz was the subject of a Justice Department investigation into his alleged relationship with a 17-year-old girl that might have violated federal sex-trafficking laws. The investigation was closed without charges, but meanwhile the US House of Representatives ethics committee conducted its own inquiry into his alleged misconduct. Matt Gaetz has denied allegations of sexual misconduct in a congressional investigation. Credit: AP US media reported that Gaetz pulled out because it looked like he wouldn’t get the votes required for his confirmation in the Senate. He was spectacularly underqualified for the job – he practised law for only about two years before he ran for Congress , handling small-time civil matters. Trump has nominated former Florida attorney-general Pam Bondi as his replacement pick. Next, we have Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News host Trump has picked as his defence secretary. He paid a financial settlement to a woman who alleged he raped her at a Republican women’s event (if it wasn’t true you couldn’t make it up) in 2017. He denies the allegation and says the sex was consensual. Hegseth is a veteran but has no senior military or national security experience . He wants to fire some serving generals, end diversity programs in the military and get women out of combat roles. He would like to rename the Department of Defence – he thinks it should be called the Department of War. He was also one of a number of National Guard members ordered to stand down from the inauguration ceremony of President Joe Biden for opaque reasons. He said he was banned because he has a tattoo that was considered “extremist” – it is of a Jerusalem Cross, a Christian symbol which has become a favourite among white nationalists. Billionaire businessman Elon Musk, of course, has been appointed Trump’s efficiency tsar, although he has no experience in government and will be presiding over the same regulatory authorities that have purview over his business interests. Robert F. Kennedy Jr, a vaccine “sceptic” and pathological oddball, will preside over the Health Department, with a key advisory role on health matters. A former babysitter has alleged Kennedy sexually assaulted her in 1998. He told her he didn’t remember the incident but apologised to her “for anything I ever did that made you feel uncomfortable”. This week The Lancet published an anxious editorial noting that Kennedy “has made many misleading or false health claims and says that several departments at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ‘have to go’.” It said Kennedy’s appointment risks weakening crucial public health institutions and further undermining public trust in science. “These are grave developments for one of the world’s scientific superpowers and can only harm US health and medicine,” it said. Trump rejects diversity picks, so we know he is not being tokenistic with his choice for education secretary – Linda McMahon, who co-founded World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) with her husband Vince McMahon. The couple are being sued by five unnamed men who allege Linda and Vince turned a blind eye to child sexual abuse (of “ring boys” as young as 13) by a former ringside announcer for their wrestling company. McMahon says the lawsuit is “baseless” and she will defend it. Separately, her husband is accused of sexual coercion – claims he denies. When it comes to qualifications in education, McMahon has what The New York Times calls “a short resume” . There are two threads that run through all these appointments. Firstly, almost all of them have been accused of sexual misconduct, just like their boss. Those who haven’t been accused personally, such as Musk and McMahon, are alleged to have presided over corporate cultures where sexual misconduct flourished. Far from being a liability, allegations of sexual assault seem of a piece with the central message of Trump’s campaign: the boys are back in charge now. The second thread is the utter lack of relevant experience among Trump’s picks. This deficiency is not a disqualification – on the contrary, it is a qualification for the job, which is to disrupt institutions and shun any notion of mutually agreed values. Tie these two threads together, and you have a revenge module that has been mandated by the 75 million Americans who voted for Trump. As Musk posted on X following the selection of Gaetz for attorney-general: “the Hammer of Justice is coming”. Justice is not supposed to be a hammer. It is conventionally represented by a set of scales and a sword, held by a blindfolded Lady Justice. But she is a woman, and the scales – well, there is less concern with balance now than rebalancing, a settling of scores that will begin with mass deportations (promised to commence on day one of Trump’s presidency) and will end in places unknown.

The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by January 19 while the government emphasised its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk. “President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute. 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,” said Mr Trump’s amicus brief, which supported neither party in the case. The filings come ahead of oral arguments scheduled for January 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. Earlier this month, a panel of three federal judges on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the statute, leading TikTok to appeal to the Supreme Court. The brief from Mr Trump said he opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office”.LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hannah Hidalgo scored 24 points and No. 6 Notre Dame defeated JuJu Watkins and third-ranked Southern California 74-61 on Saturday in a marquee matchup on the West Coast.

AP women’s college basketball: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-womens-college-basketball-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/womens-college-basketballBARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Tens of thousands of Spaniards marched in downtown Barcelona on Saturday to protest the skyrocketing cost of renting an apartment in the popular tourist destination. Protesters cut off traffic on main avenues in the city center, holding up homemade signs in Spanish reading “Fewer apartments for investing and more homes for living" and “The people without homes uphold their rights.” The lack of affordable housing has become one of the leading concerns for the southern European Union country, mirroring the housing crunch across many parts of the world, including the United States . Organizers said that over 100,000 had turned out, while Barcelona’s police said they estimated some 22,000 marched. Either way, the throngs of people clogging the streets recalled the massive separatist rallies at the heigh of the previous decade’s Catalan independence movement. Now, social concerns led by housing have displaced political crusades. That is because the average rent for Spain has doubled in last 10 years. The price per square meter has risen from 7.2 euros ($7.5) in 2014 to 13 euros this year, according to the popular online real estate website Idealista. The growth is even more acute in cities like Barcelona and Madrid. Incomes meanwhile have failed to keep up, especially for younger people in a country with chronically high unemployment. Protestor Samuel Saintot said he is “frustrated and scared” after being told by the owners of the apartment he has rented for the past 15 years in Barcelona’s city center that he must vacate the premises. He suspects that the owners want him out so they can renovate it and boost the price. “Even looking in a 20- or 30-kilometer radius outside town, I can’t even find anything within the price range I can afford,” he told The Associated Press. “And I consider myself a very fortunate person, because I earn a decent salary. And even in my case, I may be forced to leave town.” A report by the Bank of Spain indicates that nearly 40% of Spaniards who rent dedicate an average of 40% of their income to paying rents and utilities, compared to the European Union average of 27% of renters who do so. “We are talking about a housing emergency. It means people having many difficulties both in accessing and staying in their homes,” said Ignasi Martí, professor for Esade business school and head of its Dignified Housing Observatory. The rise in rents is causing significant pain in Spain, where traditionally people seek to own their homes. Rental prices have also been driven up by short-term renters including tourists. Many migrants to Spain are also disproportionately hit by the high rents because they often do not have enough savings. Spain is near the bottom end of OECD countries with under 2% of all housing available being public housing for rent. The OECD average is 7%. Spain is far behind France, with 14%, Britain with 16%, and the Netherlands with 34%. Carme Arcarazo, spokesperson for Barcelona’s Tenants Union which helped organize the protest, said that renters should consider a “rent strike” and cease paying their monthly rents in a mass protest movement. “I think we the tenants have understood that this depends on us. That we can’t keep asking and making demands to the authorities and waiting for an answer. We must take the reins of the situation,” Arcarazo told the AP. “So, if they (the owners) won’t lower the rent, then we will force them to do it." The Barcelona protest came a month after tens of thousands rallied against high rents in Madrid. The rising discontent over housing is putting pressure on Spain’s governing Socialist party, which leads a coalition on the national level and is in charge of Catalonia’s regional government and Barcelona’s city hall. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez presided over what the government termed a “housing summit” including government officials and real estate developers last month. But the Barcelona’s Tenants Union boycotted the event, saying it was like calling a summit for curing cancer and inviting tobacco companies to participate. The leading government measure has been a rent cap mechanism that the central government has offered to regional authorities based on a price index established by the housing ministry. Rent controls can be applied to areas deemed to be “highly stressed” by high rental prices. Catalonia was the first region to apply those caps, which are in place in downtown Barcelona. Many locals blame the million of tourists who visit Barcelona, and the rest of Spain, each year for the high prices. Barcelona’s town hall has pledged to completely eliminate the city’s 10,000 so called “tourist apartments,” or dwellings with permits for short-term rents, by 2028.

Invitada de Rodrigo Chaves a Casa Presidencial difundió falsedades sobre un golpe de EstadoNEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are closing lower as Wall Street ends a holiday-shortened week on a down note. The S&P 500 fell 1.1% Friday and the the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 333 points, or 0.8%. The Nasdaq composite dropped 1.5%. The “Magnificent 7” stocks weighed on the market, led by declines in Nvidia, Tesla and Microsoft. Even with the loss, the S&P 500 had a modest gain for the week and is still headed for its second consecutive annual gain of more than 20%, the first time that has happened since 1997-1998. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.62%. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. NEW YORK (AP) — Technology stocks are dragging down the market Friday as Wall Street closes out a holiday-shortened week. The S&P 500 fell 1.3%, with more than 90% of stocks in the benchmark index losing ground. The benchmark index was managing to hold onto a modest gain for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 418 points, or 1%, to 42,878 as of 1:43 p.m. Eastern time. The Nasdaq composite fell 1.8%. Technology stocks were the biggest weight on the market Friday. Semiconductor giant Nvidia slumped 2.7%. Its enormous valuation gives it an outsize influence on indexes. Other Big Tech stocks losing ground included Microsoft, with a 2% decline. A wide range of retailers also fell. Amazon fell 1.9% and Best Buy slipped 1.8%. The sector is being closely watched for clues on how it performed during the holiday shopping season. Energy stocks held up better than the rest of the market, with a loss of just 0.1% as crude oil prices rose 1.4%. The S&P 500 gained nearly 3% over a 3-day stretch before breaking for the Christmas holiday. On Thursday, the index posted a small decline. “There's just some uncertainty over this relief rally we've witnessed since last week,” said Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist for LPL Financial. Despite Friday's drop, the market is moving closer to another standout annual finish . The S&P 500 is on track for a gain of around 25% in 2024. That would mark a second consecutive yearly gain of more than 20%, the first time that has happened since 1997-1998. The gains have been driven partly by upbeat economic data showing that consumers continued spending and the labor market remained strong. Inflation, while still high, has also been steadily easing. A report on Friday showed that sales and inventory estimates for the wholesales trade industry fell 0.2% in November, following a slight gain in October. That weaker-than-expected report follows an update on the labor market Thursday that showed unemployment benefits held steady last week. The stream of upbeat economic data and easing inflation helped prompt a reversal in the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy this year. Expectations for interest rate cuts also helped drive market gains. The central bank recently delivered its third cut to interest rates in 2024. Even though Inflation has come closer to the central bank's target of 2%, it remains stubbornly above that mark and worries about it heating up again have tempered the forecast for more interest rate cuts. Inflation concerns have added to uncertainties heading into 2025, which include the labor market’s path ahead and shifting economic policies under incoming President Donald Trump. Worries have risen that Trump’s preference for tariffs and other policies could lead to higher inflation , a bigger U.S. government debt and difficulties for global trade. Amedisys rose 4.7% after the home health care and hospice services provider agreed to extend the deadline for its sale to UnitedHealth Group. The Justice Department had sued to block the $3.3 billion deal, citing concerns he combination would hinder access to home health and hospice services in the U.S. The move to extend the deadline comes ahead of an expected shift in regulatory policy under Trump. The incoming administration is expected to have a more permissive approach to dealmaking and is less likely to raise antitrust concerns. In Asia, Japan’s benchmark index surged as the yen remained weak against the dollar. Stocks in South Korea fell after the main opposition party voted to impeach the country’s acting leader. Markets in Europe gained ground. Bond yields held relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.61% from 4.59% late Thursday. The yield on the two-year Treasury slipped to 4.31% from 4.33% late Thursday. Wall Street will have more economic updates to look forward to next week, including reports on pending home sales and home prices. There will also be reports on U.S. construction spending and snapshots of manufacturing activity.

quarterback needs only one touchdown pass to reach 500 for his career, and his longtime friend and teammate, , wants to be the one to catch it. "Obviously, I'd love to," Adams said Friday after practice. "I got 200, I got 400, so it would be dope to get 500 as well." Rodgers is on the verge of joining Tom Brady (649), Drew Brees (571), Peyton Manning (539) and Brett Favre (508) as the only players in NFL history with 500 touchdown passes. He will try to join the club on Sunday against the at Highmark Stadium, where the weather is expected to be rainy and windy with temperatures in the 50s. "We've had some special connections in the past, so it'd be great," said Adams, who expects to play despite a hip injury from last week. "And, obviously, it would be a big, big thing for him. Not that he needs more accolades and more milestones, but you might as well keep racking them up while you can." Rodgers, 41, has said he's undecided on whether he will play in 2025, so this could be the final road game of his career. The Jets (4-11) finish the season at home against the . He and Adams were reunited in October, when the Jets acquired the wide receiver in a trade with the . After a slow start, Adams has elevated his game in recent weeks, becoming Rodgers' No. 1 target. In nine games with the Jets, Adams has 56 receptions, 719 yards and 6 touchdowns, bringing his yardage total to 928 for the season. "It would be a crying shame not to be able to get (1,000 yards)," said Adams, who has done it five times in his career, including the past four seasons. Adams never will forget his first NFL touchdown reception. It came in 2014, his rookie year with the , and it happened to be touchdown pass No. 200 for Rodgers. It took six years before they hooked up for No. 400. With no drama left in the Jets' season -- they were eliminated three weeks ago -- Rodgers' pursuit of individual milestones has become one of the top storylines. With 3,511 passing yards, he needs 497 yards to pass Joe Namath's single-season record (4,007), which has stood since 1967. Namath was the first player in history to reach 4,000, and he did it in a 14-game season. "It's been one of my great honors in my life -- not just football and this profession -- to be around him, to learn from him, to grow from him," interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said of Rodgers. "It's going to be so special to see that 500th ball caught. I'm so excited for him and what it means to his legacy and all that Aaron Rodgers is." On Friday, the Jets announced that kicker will be activated from injured reserve and will replace the struggling on Sunday. The Jets have used four different kickers. They began with Zuerlein, but he slumped and was placed on IR with a knee injury on Oct. 30.

Putin signs law letting Ukraine fighters write off bad debtsWall Street inches higher to set more records

Republicans are sucking up to Donald Trump in the best way they know how: by being cowards. The convicted felon has promised that when he takes office in January, he will pardon Jan. 6 insurrectionists and called for lawmakers who investigated the attempted coup to be punished. And GOP senators and Congress members, most of whom were hunkered down in the Capitol on that terrible day, are lining up to roll over for him. “As we found from Hunter Biden , the president’s pardon authority is pretty extensive. That’s obviously a decision he’ll have to make,” incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune told The Hill about Trump’s promised pardons. While he plans to let the rioters off scot-free, Trump recently told “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker that former Rep. Liz Cheney and other members of the Jan. 6 committee should “go to jail.” “I don’t have a comment really on those statements,” Thune said . Thune’s timorous stance on pardoning the rioters was parroted by fellow Republican senators. “We’ll see what he does. I mean it’s been four or five years [since the attack]. The ones that hurt cops, they’d be in a different category for me, but we’ll leave that up to him,” said South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham. Trump has repeatedly made false claims that the Jan. 6 committee destroyed evidence that would exonerate him. He has also publicly fantasized about committee co-chair Cheney facing a firing squad, and House Republicans including Second Amendment apologist Tim Burchett of Tennessee seem fine with Trump’s interest in political witch hunts. “If they broke the law, then they should [be imprisoned],” Burchett told The Bulwark . “Now we know that they’ve manipulated evidence, so—if that’s the case, then absolutely.” As always, some Republicans were eager to minimize Trump’s threats. “It was my understanding that he backed off that statement in a subsequent interview,” said Maine Sen. Susan Collins. “So I don’t really think that there’s—since he’s backed off on it, I don’t think there’s really any need for me to comment on it.” Other GOP leaders cheered Trump’s vendetta on—even if it means targeting their own colleagues. “With politicians, if you’ve used a congressional committee and you’ve lied and tried to set people up and falsely imprisoned people, then you should be held accountable,” said Rep. James Comer, who is no stranger to using House committees and scant evidence to attack political opponents. “I haven’t kept up with the January 6th stuff like other people,” Comer told The Bulwark. “I don’t know exactly what Trump was referring to. But I have two years of experience working with one of the January 6th committee members, and I can tell you he’s been nothing but completely dishonest,” Comer said, clearly referring to Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin. Every traitorous revelation from the Jan. 6 committee hearings was terrifying.

Politics live chat: the Star's Ottawa reporters take your questions on the year in politicsWe are living through a period of unprecedented species extinction due to human-induced changes to the planet's ecosystems . This is not the first time human activities radically changed relationships between land and life. Illustrated by a famous photograph of remains, the extermination of bison from the North American West in the 19th century is one key example of catastrophic species loss. As a visual studies researcher, I use photographs to analyze the impacts of colonization on human and non-human lives. Images of bison bones provide a window into the cultural and ecological relations that tie animal and human lives together . Through photographs, we can also think about bison extermination as part of a history of relationships . An iconic image The most famous photograph of bison extermination is a grisly image of a mountain of bison skulls. It was taken outside of Michigan Carbon Works in Rougeville, Mich., in 1892. This photo from 1892 shows two men with an enormous pile of American bison (buffalo) skulls. Originally numbering 30-60 million, commercial hunting and government campaigns aimed at destroying the Indian way of life ultimately reduced the total bison population to

Trump reportedly gives this loser a Cabinet post after costing her a Senate seatBy HALELUYA HADERO, Associated Press President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan. 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk. “President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute. 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,” said Trump’s amicus brief, which supported neither party in the case. The filings come ahead of oral arguments scheduled for Jan. 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. Earlier this month, a panel of three federal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the statute , leading TikTok to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. The brief from Trump said he opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.”CORVALLIS, Ore. — Everett Hayes kicked a 55-yard field goal with 20 seconds left and Oregon State snapped a five-game losing streak with a 41-38 victory Saturday night against No. 25 Washington State in what was essentially this season's Pac-12 championship. Ben Gulbranson, who missed last week's shutout loss at Air Force, threw for 294 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Beavers (5-6). Trent Walker Jr. caught 12 passes for 136 yards. It was the second straight loss for the Cougars (8-3), who were coming off a 38-35 setback last weekend to New Mexico that dashed the Cougars’ hopes of possibly earning an at-large bid to the 12-team College Football Playoff. Washington State was as high as No. 18 in the CFP rankings before the loss. The Beavers and the Cougars were the two teams remaining in the Pac-12 this season after realignment last year. While the two teams had a scheduling agreement with the Mountain West for this season, they did not figure into that league’s standings. With Oregon State in front 31-24 at the start of the fourth quarter, Cougars quarterback John Mateer ran for a 4-yard touchdown to tie the game. On Oregon State's next series, Taariq Al-Uqdah picked off Gulbranson and ran it back 26 yards for a touchdown to put the Cougars in front. The Beavers' subsequent drive ended with Darrius Clemons' 4-yard touchdown reception to tie it at 38 with 2:50 left. Oregon State got the ball back on the Cougars' series when Exodus Ayers recovered Kyle Williams' fumble on the Washington State 47. The Beavers went for it on fourth-and-6 to extend their final drive and Hayes nailed the winning field goal.

Credit: AP/Mark Ylen Mateer passed for 250 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for 85 yards and two more scores for Washington State. Oregon State opened the scoring with stand-in quarterback Gabarri Johnson's 15-yard keeper. The Cougars answered on the next drive with Mateer's 28-yard scoring pass to Carlos Hernandez. Washington State's Dean Janikowski added a 33-yard field goal in the second quarter. Salahadin Allah had a 1-yard touchdown run to put the Beavers in front 14-10. Mateer scored on a 3-yard keeper to give the Cougars the lead, but the touchdown was marred when left tackle Esa Pole spiked the ball for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

Credit: AP/Mark Ylen Oregon State finished the half ahead 21-17 on Gulbranson's 1-yard TD dive with 13 seconds left. The Beavers opened the second half with Hayes' 46-yard field goal. Williams had a 57-yard catch-and-run touchdown from Mateer that tied the game at 24. But before the end of the third quarter, Gulbranson hit Jermaine Terry II with for 43-yard TD. Since the Pac-12’s collapse, the Beavers and the Cougs have worked together to rebuild the conference. In 2026, five Mountain West teams — as well as Gonzaga for basketball only — will join a new Pac-12. The scheduling agreement with the Mountain West was not renewed for next season, so Washington State and Oregon State put together independent schedules with a twist — they will play each other twice, once in Corvallis and once in Pullman. In 2026, Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Colorado State and Utah State with join the Pac-12. Gonzaga, which does not field a football team, has also joined. The new conference must still add another football member to be recognized by the NCAA. The takeaway Washington State: Going into the game, Mateer had 26 passing touchdowns (tied for fourth in the nation) and he’d rushed for 12 more, a Washington State single-season record for a quarterback. Oregon State: Gulbranson, who missed the Beavers’ loss last weekend at Air Force, started. But the Beavers also used QB Gabarri Johnson situationally — including on Oregon State’s first touchdown of the game Up next Washington State: Hosts Wyoming next Saturday.

Bernie Sanders announced he’d be bringing his brand of populism to the powerful Senate Finance Committee next year, with a wide remit over tax, trade, Social Security, social safety net programs and health care policy. But no final decisions have been made, despite the Vermont independent’s assertion late Friday that he’ll be joining Finance in the new Congress.
