UN Resolution 1701 is at the heart of the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal. What is it?
The left-wing media and their political allies have developed a new strategy in their eternal quest to oppose Donald Trump, this time seeking to drive a wedge between him and Elon Musk. Musk’s instrumental efforts in getting Trump elected have both endeared him to the right and put a target on his back from the left. Most recently, leftist luminaries like MSNBC’s Joy Reid have taken to mockingly referring to the Space X founder as “President Musk” in an attempt to get under Trump’s skin. Reid’s lead prompted a number of Democratic lawmakers to steal the line. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin and Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro are all amongst a group of politicians who parroted Reid. The accusations stemmed from Musk’s vocal opposition to an early version of the House’s continuing resolution to fund the government. The version Musk initially opposed was over 1,500 pages long and included what many GOP politicians referred to as “ pork barrel ” spending inclusions such as a “ Feral Swine Eradication ” program and an earmarked fund to provide juvenile delinquents with driver’s licenses. Musk was hardly the only person to speak out against the bill. Scores of Republican lawmakers voiced their opposition, ultimately leading to the quadruple-digit page bill being scrapped in favor of a much shorter resolution. DeLauro, and others, however, credited Musk with influencing the GOPers who did not want a 1,500 page bill to pass before anyone could read it. “They got scared because President Musk told them, President Musk said ‘don’t do it! shut the government down!'” DeLauro told House members while the body debated the bill Dec. 19.

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes described Trump and Musk as engaged in a “co-presidency,” a term New York Rep. Dan Goldman took issue with, claiming Musk is the sole President. “Elon Musk has Donald Trump in a vise.” Rep. Dan Goldman says “we need to face the reality: right now we have President Elon Musk”.

He addressed them in a Sunday speech at Turning Point USA’s AmFest in Phoenix, Arizona.

Chief among the concerns splitting the two sides is a raging online debate about H1B visas. The H1B visa, the largest visa category in the U.S., allows employers to hire skilled foreign workers and “authorizes the temporary employment of qualified individuals who are not otherwise authorized to work in the U.S.,” according to the Department of Labor. Musk appeared to take the pro-H1B side, replying “correct” to a user’s assessment that a slowdown in skilled immigration could lead to a decrease in American innovation. Correct — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 26, 2024 Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) co-head Vivek Ramaswamy co-signed the viewpoint Thursday, defending the implementation of H1B’s and claiming they’re necessary because native-born Americans participate in a culture of mediocrity. “Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG. A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math Olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers,” Ramaswamy tweeted. The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if... — Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) December 26, 2024 The tweet echoed sentiments Musk eloquated on Christmas day, when he wrote “The number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low.” Musk appeared to call for “ double ” the number of foreign-born engineers. MAGA loyalists like radio host Jesse Kelly pushed back.

During his chat with reporters Tuesday, Pitt running backs coach Lindsey Lamar was quick with an answer when the question made it obvious. Is Desmond Reid playing through pain? “All season,” Lamar said, “like everybody in college football. I’m sure Kyle Louis (Pitt’s All-American candidate linebacker) is banged up, but he’s playing through it. “Des is a tough kid. He’s going to be banged up. He just plays through it because that’s what football players do.” Those who have followed Pitt through the first 11 of the 12-game season – the regular-season finale is Saturday at Boston College – might wonder where the Panthers might be if the transfer portal did not deliver Reid from Western Carolina this year and wide receiver Konata Mumfield from Akron before the 2022 season. At 5-foot-8, 175 pounds, Reid leads Pitt in rushing (797) and receptions (47). His pass-catching total (564) is second to Mumpfield, but tops among all ACC running backs. His average all-purpose yardage (150.9 per game) is second in the ACC to North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton and fifth in the nation. His total yardage (1,509) is eighth in the FBS. After opening the season with rushing totals of 145 and 148 yards against Kent State and Cincinnati, Reid reached triple digits only once more (120 against California). His average in the past four games is 64 per game. But possibly his most couragenous play came in the Clemson game when, with a sore ankle, he dived toward the pylon and missed scoring by 2 yards. The trick for Lamar is to give Reid enough rest without compromising the offense by leaving its most productive player on the bench. “When he’s tired and he needs a break, we keep a close eye on it and we get the next guy up,” Lamar said. “When he’s ready to roll, we roll him back in. We stay on top of it.” It’s important for Reid to be honest with Lamar and let him know when he needs a break. “I do trust him for the most part. He’ll let me know when he’s tired,” Lamar said. “It’s not just a situation where he goes until he can’t go (anymore). I have a system. It all depends on what (offensive coordinator Kade) Bell is thinking.” Mumpfield (6-1, 185) has matched his reception total from 2023 (44), with 669 yards and four touchdowns. With two solid games at Boston College and a bowl, he could approach his career high in yards (751 at Akron in 2021). Reid, Mumpfield and Bell have helped Pitt’s offense recover from a dismal 2023 season. Pitt is fifth in the ACC in points (359), thanks in part to the defense scoring five touchdowns. Still, the offense’s 39 touchdowns and an average of 413.9 yards per game is far superior to its 2023 numbers (28 and 317.9). Of course, none of that has been good enough to put Pitt in late-season contention for a berth in the ACC championship game. Injuries along the offensive line, wide receiver and quarterback have contributed to a four-game losing streak that followed the season-opening seven-game winning streak. Part of Mumpfield’s success can be traced to how he tries to keep “negativity out of everybody’s brain.” One of Pitt’s four co-captains, he said breaking the losinsg streak Saturday will require the team to “just be positive, focus and lock onto the little details.” “Come in with the mindset to dominate.” Mumpfield, who might be Pitt’s No. 1 NFL Draft prospect, could have been a candidate to transfer at any point during his three-yeard stay, but he said he never gave it thought. In his mind, loyalty matters. “I’m not going to lie. Once I go somewhere, I don’t really like to leave,” he said. “Even when I was at Akron, I really didn’t want to leave. They fired my whole coaching staff.” At Pitt, he set goals such as the Biletnikoff Award and All-ACC honors, but what he also wanted was “to be the best version of myself. “ “Guys across the building (Steelers coaches and scouts), they look at film, tape and the things you’re doing off the field,” he said. In the end, the quest was just as important to Mumpfield as the result. “Obviously, I want to be the best,” he said. “Sometimes, it doesn’t work out like that.”Biden will decide on US Steel acquisition after influential panel fails to reach consensus WASHINGTON (AP) — A powerful government panel has failed to reach consensus on the possible national security risks of a nearly $15 billion proposed deal for Nippon Steel of Japan to purchase U.S. Steel. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States on Monday sent its long-awaited report to President Joe Biden, a longtime opponent of the deal. Some federal agencies represented on the panel were skeptical that allowing a Japanese company to buy an American-owned steelmaker would create national security risks. That's according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter. Both Biden and President-elect Donald Trump opposed the merger and vowed to block it. Nippon Steel says it is confident the deal will go ahead. Nissan and Honda to attempt a merger that would create the world's No. 3 automaker TOKYO (AP) — Japanese automakers Nissan and Honda have announced plans to work toward a merger that would catapult them to a top position in an industry in the midst of tectonic shifts as it transitions away from its reliance on fossil fuels. The two companies said they signed an agreement on integrating their businesses on Monday. Smaller Nissan alliance member Mitsubishi Motors agreed to join the talks. News of a possible merger surfaced earlier this month. Japanese automakers face a strong challenge from their Chinese rivals and Tesla as they make inroads into markets at home and abroad. What a merger between Nissan and Honda means for the automakers and the industry BANGKOK (AP) — Japanese automakers Honda and Nissan will attempt to merge and create the world’s third-largest automaker by sales as the industry undergoes dramatic changes in its transition away from fossil fuels. The two companies said they had signed a memorandum of understanding on Monday and that smaller Nissan alliance member Mitsubishi Motors also had agreed to join the talks on integrating their businesses. Honda will initially lead the new management, retaining the principles and brands of each company. Following is a quick look at what a combined Honda and Nissan would mean for the companies, and for the auto industry.

Heavy travel day starts with brief grounding of all American Airlines flights WASHINGTON (AP) — American Airlines briefly grounded flights nationwide due to a technical problem just as the Christmas travel season kicked into overdrive and winter weather threatened more potential problems for those planning to fly or drive. Government regulators cleared American flights to get airborne Tuesday about one hour after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a national ground stop, which prevented planes from taking off. American said in an email that the problem was caused by an issue with a vendor technology that maintains its flight operating system. Aviation analytics company Cirium said flights were delayed across American’s major hubs, with only 37% leaving on time. Nineteen flights were cancelled.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury was little changed at 4.59% An analyst looks ahead to how the US economy might fare under Trump WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump won a return to the White House in part by promising big changes in economic policy — more tax cuts, huge tariffs on imports, mass deportations of immigrants working in the United States illegally. In some ways, his victory marked a repudiation of President Joe Biden’s economic stewardship and a protest against inflation. It came despite low unemployment and steady growth under the Biden administration. What lies ahead for the economy under Trump? Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics spoke recently to The Associated Press. The interview has been edited for length and clarity. American consumers feeling less confident in December, Conference Board says American consumers are feeling less confident in December, a business research group says. The Conference Board said Monday that its consumer confidence index fell back in December to 104.7 from 112.8 in November. Consumers had been feeling increasingly confident in recent months. The consumer confidence index measures both Americans’ assessment of current economic conditions and their outlook for the next six months. The measure of Americans’ short-term expectations for income, business and the job market tumbled more than a dozen points to 81.1. The Conference Board says a reading under 80 can signal a potential recession in the near future.

Utah Hockey Club walks to arena after bus gets stuck in Toronto trafficEdmonton Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse was majorly in the news the last few weeks after he got rocked by Ryan Reaves, and now hockey icon Don Cherry is shoring his opinion. Nurse was very critical of Reaves' hit after the fact, even going as far to say that Reaves intended to hurt the Oilers defenceman. This prompted a passionate rant from the 90 year old Don Cherry on his Grapevine Podcast . In Cherry's opinion, Reaves did deserve to be suspended for the hit, but Darnell Nurse put himself in a brutal position to be lined up for a hit like that. Not only that, but Cherry went after Nurse's insinuation that Reaves was indeed trying to injure the Oilers defender with the dirty hit. Cherry said that hurting people is a fair part of hockey. Even Ryan Reaves' brother, Jordan, joined in on the controversy by calling out Nurse's criticism in a comment on social media . However unpopular his comments are, Nurse's criticism of Reaves and the hit are entirely true. Reaves' role on the Leafs isn't really to play hockey, it's to bring physical intimidation to their roster. It brings up the debate of whether there's still a place for pure enforcers in the modern day NHL. Nobody wants to see star players get injured by depth players, but that's exactly what their role is. Of course Don Cherry would be on the sode of the old school, blaming Nurse for putting himself in a vulnerable position - but the reality is, the NHL should stop allowing players to get away with exploiting those vulnerabilities.
