NoneBy JOSH BOAK WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Tuesday he was “stupid” not to put his own name on pandemic relief checks in 2021, noting that Donald Trump had done so in 2020 and likely got credit for helping people out through this simple, effective act of branding. Biden did the second-guessing as he delivered a speech at the Brookings Institution defending his economic record and challenging Trump to preserve Democratic policy ideas when he returns to the White House next month.

As Biden focused on his legacy with his term ending, he suggested Trump should keep the Democrats’ momentum going and ignore the policies of his allies. The president laid out favorable recent economic data but acknowledged his rare public regret that he had not been more self-promotional in advertising the financial support provided by his administration as the country emerged from the pandemic. “I signed the American Rescue Plan, the most significant economic recovery package in our history, and also learned something from Donald Trump,” Biden said at the Washington-based think tank. “He signed checks for people for 7,400 bucks ... and I didn’t. Stupid.” The decision by the former reality TV star and real estate developer to add his name to the checks sent by the U.S. Treasury to millions of Americans struggling during the coronavirus marked the first time a president’s name appeared on any IRS payments. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris , who replaced him as the Democratic nominee , largely failed to convince the American public of the strength of the economy. The addition of 16 million jobs, funding for infrastructure, new factories and investments in renewable energy were not enough to overcome public exhaustion over inflation, which spiked in 2022 and left many households coping with elevated grocery, gasoline and housing costs. More than 6 in 10 voters in November’s election described the economy as “poor” or “not so good,” according to AP VoteCast, an extensive survey of the electorate. Trump won nearly 7 in 10 of the voters who felt the economy was in bad shape, paving the way for a second term as president after his 2020 loss to Biden. Biden used his speech to argue that Trump was inheriting a strong economy that is the envy of the world. The inflation rate fell without a recession that many economists had viewed as inevitable, while the unemployment rate is a healthy 4.2% and applications to start new businesses are at record levels. Biden called the numbers under his watch “a new set of benchmarks to measure against the next four years.” “President-elect Trump is receiving the strongest economy in modern history,” said Biden, who warned that Trump’s planned tax cuts could lead to massive deficits or deep spending cuts. He also said that Trump’s promise of broad tariffs on foreign imports would be a mistake, part of a broader push Tuesday by the administration to warn against Trump’s threatened action. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also issued a word of caution about them at a summit of The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council. “I think the imposition of broad based tariffs, at least of the type that have been discussed, almost all economists agree this would raise prices on American consumers,” she said. Biden was also critical of Trump allies who have pushed Project 2025 , a policy blueprint from the Heritage Foundation that calls for a complete overhaul of the federal government. Trump has disavowed participation in it, though parts were written by his allies and overlap with his stated views on economics, immigration, education policy and civil rights. “I pray to God the president-elect throws away Project 2025,” Biden said. “I think it would be an economic disaster.” Associated Press writer Fatima Hussein in Washington contributed to this report.

8 Things to Remember About Dexter’s Childhood Before ‘Original Sin’Hisense, a global leader in consumer electronics and home appliances has partnered with Modern Home, Hisense’s strategic partner and official distributor in Qatar, to open its new brand store in Al-Rayyan on Sunday. The event was attended by Chinese ambassador Cao Xiaolin, Darwish Holding chairman and managing director Bader al-Darwish, senior management from Hisense and Modern Home, and other guests. In a press statement, Hisense Middle East and Africa president Jason Ou said: “We are delighted to open our second dedicated brand store in Qatar in collaboration with Modern Home. This milestone reaffirms our dedication to strengthening our presence in the Qatari market, where we see significant potential for growth and innovation. “This new store offers customers an opportunity to experience Hisense’s latest AI-driven solutions firsthand, from smart home appliances to premium televisions, all thoughtfully designed to enhance modern living”. Hisense’s new brand store on Al Shafi Street brings its innovative, AI-powered technology and smart home appliances directly to consumers in Qatar. The store features a wide selection of products, including premium televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners. Addressing the partnership, al-Darwish said: “Our partnership with Hisense reflects a shared vision of bringing world-class technology and innovation closer to our discerning customers. Following the success of our first store in Lagoona Mall, this new location further enhances our mission to provide unparalleled access to cutting-edge products that elevate everyday living and redefine the smart home experience”. The opening marks a significant step in Hisense’s regional expansion, furthered by initiatives including a Dubai research and development centre, an Egyptian factory, and partnerships with major global sports organisations. Highlighting Hisense’s broader regional growth strategy, Hisense Marketing and E-Commerce director Fazalur Rahman told Gulf Times that the company’s strategy in the MEA region focuses on expanding its network of exclusive brand stores. This, he pointed out, is driven by Hisense’s comprehensive product range – covering televisions, washing machines, cookers, air conditioners, and more – and a goal of penetrating the premium market segment. According to Rahman, Hisense plans to open approximately 45 brand stores across MEA this year to capitalise on the region’s high GDP and strong purchasing power, further solidifying its premium brand positioning. About the Qatar market, he said: “It’s quite significant because there are only few markets in the GCC region, apart from, say Kuwait, UAE, where the consumer’s buying power is pretty good”. Rahman noted that other markets such as the UAE have a higher expat population. However, in the Qatar market, locals are significant consumers who value high-quality products and established brands that deliver tangible benefits and positive experiences. He said Hisense’s global strategy now is shifting towards higher-tech products, particularly AI-based offerings. Several AI products, he added, will be unveiled at the CES in the US in January. It will launch a 136-inch high-end television and a unique line of laser TVs ranging from 88 to 300 inches, catering to customers with larger homes seeking premium viewing experiences. Hisense, a leading technology and sports brand, further solidified its global presence by becoming the first Official Partner of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, renewing its UEFA Euro 2024 sponsorship, and continuing its strategic alliance with Real Madrid.

MAA Announces Increase to Quarterly Common Dividend

MAA Announces Increase to Quarterly Common DividendA focus group for emergency services on Monday packed the Effingham City Council chambers with police officers, firefighters, the dive team and more emergency response team members. A lengthy discussion ensued about the various services and challenges each emergency service has. “This planning process that we’re going through, both for emergency services and then the other components of the city as well, is really essential to planning for the next several years for our city,” said Deputy City Administrator Dennis Presley. The biggest need for emergency services is more people, specifically in the police department. The police need non-sworn officers to help organize, manage and regulate data and technology. The department currently has six automatic license plate readers to look for things like stolen vehicles, violent felons and missing people. They also have body camera footage they need help managing and organizing from whenever a police officer is acting during “official capacity as a police officer,” according to Effingham Police Chief Jason McFarland. However, according to the Comprehensive Plan survey results, roughly 60% of people believe the city should be spending the same amount of money on the police department. Twenty three percent of residents believe the city should spend more. The Effingham fire department communicated their needs and future goals at the meeting, as well. These include a third fire station on the north side of the city, a new training facility, replacement plans for new apparatus and equipment (like radios and extrication tools), upgrades/expansion to Station 1, new services (like EMS coverage and a hazmat team) and more staffing. Despite this, survey results show that roughly 70% of both residents and non-residents want to spend the same amount of money on the fire department. Twenty one percent of residents and 22% of non-residents want to spend more money on the fire department. “These ideas will be massaged into goals, objectives and action steps to be brought before the Steering Committee for further review,” said Chastain & Associates LLC urban planner Stephanie Brown. “The focus group will also be sent drafts of these goals to be reviewed and commented upon prior to be reviewed by the Council and eventually adopted by Council in the final Comprehensive Plan update.” The next focus group will meet on Monday, Dec. 16 at 5:30 p.m. in Effingham City Hall located at 201 East Jefferson Avenue to focus on transportation and mobility in Effingham. “There’s always room for improvement, and that’s what we’re looking to do,” said Miller.
