So now the world’s leading “fake news” site, a place where comedy carries the day every day, controls a brand that with a straight face told hurtful, harmful, corrosive lies. Allow yourself to smile. ADVERTISEMENT For those who need the whole story retold: Jones, over many years, built a media empire designed to make people believe the worst fever-dream conspiracies of their imaginations were true, concocted by nefarious always-out-to-get-them political enemies. He exalted in telling people that the attacks on New York City on 9/11 were an inside job, that the Boston Marathon bombing was staged, that a Washington, D.C., pizza parlor was a hub of human trafficking, and that government was putting chemicals in the water to manipulate humans’ sexuality. Along the way, he sold people dietary supplements, toothpaste, and more, falsely claiming they could cure diseases and bolster masculinity — disgusting lies sufficient on their own to make him a pariah. After a classroom of first-graders and a half dozen educators were murdered by a delusional young man armed with an assault rifle in Connecticut in December 2012, Jones went even lower: He called the children’s deaths faked and their families crisis actors, feeding his listeners the poisonous falsehood that mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers enduring the worst agony of their lives were cynical pretenders. When people who’d been fed this poison sent the families hate mail and death threats, the families didn’t sit down and take it. They sued Jones and Infowars for defamation, and ultimately, heroically, yielded a judgment that he would have to pay out nearly $1.5 billion. This required reducing his little empire to a rubble of bankruptcy— then selling the rubble at auction. Few stories about the news media have happy endings nowadays, as trust is systematically breaking down and disinformation is growing like black mold in every online crevice. This one does have a positive outcome. The Onion proclaimed it will now aim “to end Infowars’ relentless barrage of disinformation for the sake of selling supplements and replace it with The Onion’s relentless barrage of humor for good.” Everytown for Gun Safety, funded by Mike Bloomberg, will put advertising dollars into the new enterprise, spreading the important message about the dangers of firearms, a mission shared by The Onion, which highlights the absurdity of unnecessary gun deaths. The Onion aims its barbs every time the United States, a place where guns are the closest thing we have to a national religion, suffers a mass shooting: “‘No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.” ADVERTISEMENT So, soon enough the clever people who brought the world headlines like “World Death Rate Holding Steady at 100 Percent,” “Drugs Win Drug War,” and “Area Man Passionate Defender of What He Imagines Constitution to Be” will be putting Infowars to good use. Infowars is dead. Long live Infowars. — New York Daily News Editorial Board (nydailynews.com)

The Musketeers (7-2) were ranked No. 22 in the AP poll two weeks ago but fell out after a 25-point loss to Michigan in the Fort Myers Tip-Off tournament final on Nov. 27. Xavier then barely escaped with a 71-68 home win over South Carolina State on Dec. 1 before losing 76-72 at TCU on Thursday. Dante Maddox Jr. came off the bench to score nine points in 20 minutes on three 3-pointers against the Horned Frogs. He also grabbed six rebounds before fouling out. The Musketeers have been waiting for the Toledo transfer to add a punch to an underwhelming bench cast that many thought would be a strength for Xavier coming into the season. "I really feel like you can almost be baited into a false sense of how deep your team is because you're around guys every day and have a good, older group, which we do," Musketeers coach Sean Miller said. "You see the good in a lot of different guys. It's not until you get 8 to 10, 10 to 15 games in when you truly understand how deep your team is." Maddox hit a 3-pointer and started a fastbreak with a steal that gave Xavier a 60-54 lead with 7:28 remaining, but the Musketeers faded down the stretch and lost for the second time in three games. Maddox is averaging 4.7 points per game, while Ryan Conwell leads the team with 16.6. Tuesday's game will be the last chance for Xavier to straighten up before visiting No. 22 Cincinnati on Saturday for the teams' annual intense crosstown showdown. Morgan State (5-7) is coming off a 102-81 road loss at Bowling Green on Saturday. Preseason All-MEAC First Team selection Will Thomas led the Bears with 19 points on 8-of-15 shooting from the field, while Kameron Hobbs scored 12 points off the bench. Amahrie Simpkins made all five of his field-goal attempts to add 11 points and Wynston Tabbs had 10 points, six rebounds and six assists. Tabbs leads Morgan State in scoring this season at 16.8 points per game, while Simpkins (12.8) and Thomas (12.2) round out the Bears' double-digit scorers. The Bears have struggled away from home, losing all five road contests this season. --Field Level Media

At a time when the S&P 500 index is offering a tiny 1.2% yield and the average consumer staples stock 2.6%, British American Tobacco's yield is a lofty 8.1%. "Wow" is a fair response to hearing about that return, but that huge yield comes with risks and long-term income investors need to think about what the future might look like here. Will this company offer such an enviable return in five years? What does British American Tobacco do? British American Tobacco's name is fairly descriptive, given that it is one of the largest cigarette makers on the planet. Combustible products accounted for around 80% of revenue in the first half of 2024. That total includes both cigarettes and other things that, effectively, burn tobacco. Cigarettes accounted for roughly 98% of volume. So, while the company does other things, British American Tobacco is at its core a cigarette company. What makes British American Tobacco unique among its peers is that it has a truly global cigarette business. Its prime competitors Altria and Philip Morris International don't. Altria operates only in North America. Philip Morris International was spun out of Altria to operate Altria's brands in foreign markets. Being global is good and bad, however, because selling cigarettes is a tough business, particularly in North America where volumes have been falling for years. Essentially, consumers are turning away from smoking. The numbers are pretty daunting. In the case of British American Tobacco, cigarette volume fell 5.1% in 2022, 5.3% in 2023, and 6.8% through the first six months of 2024. If anything it looks like the declines are starting to pick up speed. Like its peers, British American Tobacco has been able to offset volume declines with price increases. Given the nature of tobacco, consumers tend to be fairly loyal to the product. The frequent purchases are why cigarettes are classified as a consumer staple . However, the declines continue largely thanks to health concerns. That said, price increases can only be pushed so far before they, too, start to negatively impact volume. The future is not bright here given the current volume trajectory. What does volume look like in five years? To be generous, and to make the math easy, assume that British American Tobacco manages to keep volume declines at 5% a year for the next five years. In the first half of 2024, the company sold roughly 250 billion units. British American Tobacco Cigarette Volume Estimates with a 5% Decline Rate Half Year Volume (in billions) 2024 (actual) 250 2025 238 2026 226 2027 214 2028 204 2029 193 Data source: British American Tobacco and author estimates. In five years' time, British American Tobacco's most important business could see volume decline from 250 billion cigarettes sold to less than 200 billion. That's a huge problem, and those estimates are based on a volume decline rate that is lower than the one experienced over the past three years. This is what investors are potentially buying into when they add British American Tobacco to their portfolio. If this were any other consumer staples company investors would likely be running for the hills. To be fair, given the lofty dividend yield , most investors are choosing to avoid British American Tobacco. Still, that yield is clearly attracting some aggressive investors to take a risk on the stock. Helping the story along for these income seekers is the fact that British American Tobacco is investing in what it calls new categories, which include things like vaping and smokeless tobacco pouches. There are problems here, too. Only the company's modern pouches business managed to see a volume increase in the first half of 2024. The huge 50%-plus volume jump, however, probably isn't a sustainable figure over the long term. And even with that increase, modern pouches are still a small contributor relative to cigarettes, with modern pouches accounting for less than 3% of total revenue. At this rate, it will be a long time before British American Tobacco has a business large enough to offset the troubles it is seeing in cigarettes. British American Tobacco is a big risk for dividend investors If you are trying to live off of the income your portfolio generates , then British American Tobacco's high yield will probably seem very attractive. But it comes with very large and very real risks, given the ongoing declines the company's most important business is experiencing. This is not a "set it and forget it" dividend stock. Only the most aggressive investors should own British American Tobacco. That list probably shouldn't include conservative dividend investors hoping to fund their retirement over the long term.

Goldman Sachs sees buying opportunity in oversold stocks. Trent, Shriram Finance are among 10 top buys - The Economic TimesThe Kansas City Chiefs saw their undefeated streak end in Week 11 with a loss on the road to the Buffalo Bills . Kansas City remains on the road again in Week 12 to face a Carolina Panthers team that's fresh off a bye. Kansas City struggled to run the ball against Buffalo after managing a season-low 57 yards on the ground in Week 10. But the run game looks set to get a boost with the imminent return of running back Isiah Pacheco , Kansas City's leading rusher last season. Pacheco's been out since September with a fractured fibula but was elevated from injured reserve last week, opening a 21-day window for him to take the field. Here's the latest on his status. Will Isiah Pacheco play this week? No. Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters Friday that Pacheco and defensive lineman Charles Omenihu will both miss Kansas City's Week 12 game against Carolina. NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more. With Pacheco out, the Chiefs have relied on Kareem Hunt as the primary ball carrier with Samaje Perine and Carson Steele handling carries as well. Pacheco did participate in practice this week, though, giving confidence he could be back in the lineup in Week 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders. When was Isiah Pacheco injured? Pacheco was injured in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals on a 1-yard carry on the final drive of the game. He was sandwiched by three Bengals defenders and Steele closed the game out at running back for the Chiefs. Pacheco was later seen with crutches and in a walking boot. A fractured fibula takes between four to eight weeks to recover, depending on the severity. His return date getting extended implies it was more severe. Chiefs RB depth chart The Chiefs signed Hunt three days after Pacheco's injury and he's led the way ever since. Here's how the full depth chart looks: The Chiefs also have running back Keaontay Ingram signed to the practice squad.

SpaceX and its investors have agreed to purchase as much as $1.25 billion of the company’s common shares at $185 apiece in a transaction valuing Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite maker at about $350 billion, according to an email to employees seen by Bloomberg. Share Market View All Nifty Gainers View All Company Value Change %Change That share price is up from the $112 established during a previous valuation as of September 30, said the memo, which was separately confirmed by people familiar with the matter. SpaceX alone is offering to purchase as much as $500 million worth of common stock out of the total $1.25 billion, the email said. The information confirms a Bloomberg report from last week and reflects the post-US-election gains across the billionaire chief executive officer’s business empire. A transaction of that magnitude would also cement SpaceX’s status as the most valuable private startup in the world, with a market capitalization rivaling some the largest public companies. The company, formally known as Space Exploration Technologies Corp., didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.Democratic Florida State Rep Switches Sides to GOP One Month After Election
