Jimmy Carter, 39th US president, Nobel winner, dies at 100Prominent Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has thrown his weight behind President Bola Tinubu’s tax reform bills despite opposition from some northern elites and Islamic clerics. Speaking Tuesday during an interview, Gumi said the tax reforms are beneficial to Nigerians and could drive positive economic change if properly implemented. His stance comes at a time when notable northern figures, including some governors, traditional rulers, and Islamic clerics like Sheikh Adam Dokoro, Sheikh Bello Yabo, Sheikh Mansur Sokoto, Sheikh Sambo Rigachiku, Sheikh Salisu Zaria, and Sheikh Isa Pantami, have expressed reservations about the bills currently under consideration by the National Assembly. Gumi stated that after carefully reviewing the draft documents, he found the reforms generally favourable, although he highlighted the need to address concerns surrounding the Value Added Tax (VAT) component. “I believe the contentious VAT issue is the only part that needs to be reviewed, otherwise it is a good package for all,” he said. President Tinubu had argued that the four Tax Reform Bills aim to simplify tax administration, reduce the burden on low-income earners, and eliminate issues like double taxation. He also stated that the reforms would foster a fairer tax system, reduce Nigeria’s dependence on oil revenue and support local economic growth. While Gumi acknowledged the concerns raised by critics, he urged all stakeholders to focus on the broader benefits the reforms could bring to the country.
Ripple was among the most popular cryptocurrencies in November because of its legal issues with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission. It rallied over 400%, reaching a local peak of $2.84. However, before the election rally, an investor had predicted this breakout surge, setting the target around $2.80. Currently, XRP has fallen from that mark, trading around $2.40. While the investor believes XRP can reach $3 in 2025, he warns that it won’t be among the top gainers. He says two altcoins–Cardano (ADA) and Rexas Finance (RXS) can outperform Ripple. Here’s why. Cardano (ADA) The prominent investor who predicted Ripple’s surge believes it could overperform in 2025. He has set a high target of $7 for the token, and Cardano’s strong fundamentals and consistent innovations support his prediction. At press time, ADA is trading at $1.07. The token has demonstrated resilience by remaining above $1 despite a slight decline last week. Analyst Dan Gambardello supports the investor’s prediction and foresees a possible price supercycle for ADA. He believes that in 2025, the token could rise to $3, $7, or even $14. Crypto Whales Purchased RXS Token Additionally, Charles Hoskinson has stated ambitions to fully decentralize by 2025, beginning in January with activating the Cardano Improvement Proposal, CIP 1694. This initiative will enhance governance and community involvement, building on the success of a global Constitutional Convention that included over 50 nations. Cardano’s dedication to innovation and decentralization has also grown investor confidence. ADA’s performance in the past month was surprising. It rallied from below $0.32 to $1.30 in just a month—a 306% increase. This surge shows Cardano’s strong potential. With advancements like the Hydra scaling solution and growing adoption, Cardano is proving its potential as a long-term leader in the crypto market and its ability to surpass XRP’s performance by 2025. Rexas Finance (RXS) Rexas Finance (RXS) is rapidly gaining traction as a formidable competitor in the crypto market. According to the investor, RXS is poised to surpass XRP with the project’s potential to transform the real-world asset sector. Rexas Finance focuses on redefining how assets are viewed and handled. Asset management in the traditional space has posed issues like lack of liquidity, high cost, and inaccessibility. However, Rexas Finance fixes this problem with one major shift–tokenization. Tokenization converts real-world assets like real estate and commodities into digital tokens. This allows investors to trade them on Blockchains in smaller fractions and at lower cost. Tokenization provides liquidity and also breaks the cost barrier. It also allows anyone to trade and own these assets anywhere in the world and from the comfort of their home, increasing global accessibility and inclusivity. Rexas Finance’s focus on inclusivity doesn’t end with its vision for the RWA sector. The platform also chose a public presale to ensure its community benefits from its early-stage growth. The presale has already raised significant attention, with tokens now selling at $0.150 in stage ten, a sharp rise of 400% from stage one. This consistent growth demonstrates the confidence investors have in its unique proposition. It also displays a clear bullish path that could lead RXS to deliver explosive gains. Rexas Finance has also undergone a Certik Audit to assure its community of the project’s security. It has also been listed on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, giving investors first-hand information on the project’s performance. Rexas Finance also offers stand-out tools, such as the Rexas Token Builder, which facilitates asset tokenization, and the Rexas AI Shield, which secures blockchain interactions. These technological advancements are designed to be easy to use, making them accessible to anyone without technical knowledge. Rexas Finance’s listing of its token on three tier-1 exchanges, among others, has strengthened its growth potential and offered liquidity and visibility. Post-launch, RXS can indeed outperform XRP. According to the investor, Rexas Finance is bound to gain a strong foothold in the DeFi space as it plans to grow, helping it attract retail and institutional investors. With its bullish momentum, the token can quickly see a rally. He has pointed to the token launch at $0.20 as the catalyst for its rally. The launch will garner attention for Rexas Finance , and the token can spike rapidly in hours. In the following days, it will reach the $10 mark and reach $20 in 2025. Conclusion Cardano and Rexas Finance are poised to outperform Ripple in 2025 despite Ripple’s promising outlook. These two cryptocurrencies have more potential, making them better choices. However, Rexas Finance provides the best upside potential with a potential surge from $0.20 to $10. Thus, it’s still the most promising option for investors looking for the highest returns. The project is even running a giveaway for its presale. This giveaway will reward twenty random investors with $50,000 each. This presents an interesting opportunity for investors to make significant gains.

President-elect Donald Trump has named nominees for his Cabinet . Next month, Beltway operatives and private sector executives – and, maybe, you – will tune in that most Washington, D.C., show: Senate confirmation hearings. Here’s how to watch them. You’re not going to watch confirmation hearings for all executive branch and agency employees who require Senate confirmation. They number around 1,300, according to the Partnership for Public Service . (Even the Partnership only tracks about 800 of them!) Yes, someone, somewhere will be watching each one for clues about policy shifts, new regulation (or deregulation) and the like. Even the Deputy Undersecretary of Something Arcane might hold the keys to million-dollar opportunities. But you don’t need to. Republicans have 53 Senate seats. Democrats have 45, plus two independents who vote with them. The minority party cannot filibuster Cabinet nominations. So if you’re outcome-focused, the reality is that Trump choices who get approved by the relevant committees and get a floor vote will almost certainly be confirmed. The math is unforgiving. The most recent exception to that is President George H. W. Bush’s nomination of John Tower to be defense secretary. The Senate rejected him amid accusations of heavy drinking and what, by today’s standards, would be called sexual harassment. (Back then, it was placing “special attention on the secretaries,” including allegedly chasing one around his desk.) John Duricka | AP John Tower, Defense Secretary-designate, testifies before the Senate in 1989. Barring some political cataclysm, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida will easily get confirmed as secretary of state, becoming the first Cuban American to hold that job . It’ll almost certainly be by a solid bipartisan majority. I have heard no senator to date question his qualifications. Doesn’t mean he won’t get grilled. Confirmation hearings are an opportunity to turn the poetry (OK, maybe that’s overstated) of campaign rhetoric into the prose of governing.

Olivier Knox Dec. 4, 2024 We don’t condone drinking games. But count how many times a senator invites a nominee to promise they will always cooperate with, and inform, their relevant committee. The answer is always a “yes” of some kind.
Sindh govt rebuilds hope by improved infrastructure in flood-hit areasDonald Trump is set to receive the no-one-has-ever-heard-of-it "Patriot of the Year" award from Fox Nation on Thursday night. The Patriot Awards will be hosted by Trump buddy Sean Hannity. The event was originally supposed to be hosted by Fox News weekend host Pete Hegseth ... but he's busy trying his darndest not to answer hard questions about his past. Busy for now , at least. “I will be receiving the Fox Patriot of the Year Award—so nice! See you there,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. This shiny new piece of trash will sit nicely in Trump's various property bathrooms, where he used to store confidential documents , and alongside other so-called awards Trump has received. In this election cycle, Trump was given a Purple Heart by a military veteran in Georgia. His acceptance of the unearned award was widely criticized by veterans since the Purple Heart is a recognition of military members who are wounded or killed while serving. Worse, Trump's military service consisted of allegedly dodging the draft to serve under Sgt. Major Dr. Scholl . Trump also has two honorary doctorates from Liberty University, which is sort of like having two doctorates ... from Liberty University . It makes sense seeing as that school has a history of allegedly protecting sexual abusers and profiting off of COVID-19 . In January 2023, Trump announced that he had won his own Senior Club Championship at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. It was a preposterous fantastical feat for someone who reportedly missed the first round of play . Then there were half a dozen GOP House members who attempted to get Trump a Congressional Gold Medal . Like most of the moves by House Republicans, the move went nowhere fast. And lest we forget, before he was president, Trump was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame . It might be the only “honor” he sort of earned? x x YouTube Video Daily Kos is now on Bluesky—and we want to make it easy for you to join us! Click here for the Daily Kos Bluesky Starter Pack.

Aon PLC stock falls Thursday, underperforms marketPITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens was a full participant in practice on Monday, opening the door for him to return from a three-game absence on Wednesday when Pittsburgh hosts the Kansas City Chiefs. Pickens hasn't played since tweaking his hamstring earlier this month. The Steelers (10-5) have struggled to generate much in their passing game with their leading receiver watching from the sideline in sweatpants. Though Monday's practice was a walkthrough, Pickens said he felt good and hopes he'll be able to face the two-time defending Super Bowl champions. The 23-year-old was going through post-practice drills on Dec. 6 when he felt his hamstring tighten up, forcing him to miss the first games of his three-year career. Pittsburgh has gone 1-2 in his absence, including back-to-back losses to Philadelphia and Baltimore in which Russell Wilson passed for just 345 yards while missing one of the NFL's top downfield threats. Wilson is encouraged by the way the sometimes mercurial Pickens — who has been flagged and fined multiple times this season for infractions ranging from facemasks to unsportsmanlike conduct — has remained engaged. “He’s been great in the midst of his little trial here over the past few weeks,” Wilson said. “And so we’re excited to have him back if that’s the case fully and let him do his thing.” Safety DeShon Elliott (hamstring) and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi (groin) were also listed as full participants on Tuesday. Neither veteran has played since getting hurt against Cleveland on Dec. 8. While Pickens, Elliott and Ogunjobi could be available as Pittsburgh tries to hold off Baltimore for the AFC North lead, cornerback Joey Porter (knee) and WR Ben Skowronek (hip) are likely out after missing practice for a second straight day.
