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 , who , 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. 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 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 , 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 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.”

Nearly eight and a half years after being confronted by federal authorities about his own wrongdoing, former Chicago Ald. Daniel Solis has taken the witness stand Thursday in the corruption trial of ex-House Speaker Michael Madigan to testify about his unprecedented turn as an FBI mole. Solis is the 34th prosecution witness — and arguably the most important — to be called in Madigan’s trial, which began Oct. 8. He’s expected to be on the stand for two weeks. Solis, 75, worked undercover for more than two years, making a series of video and audio recordings that prosecutors allege captured Madigan, his powerful Democratic counterpart, scheming to use his official duties to squeeze developers for tax appeal business for his private law firm. Solis, who represented the city’s 25th Ward and was the head of the City Council’s influential Zoning Committee, also testified last year in the corruption trial of former Ald. Edward Burke. But in that case, Solis was called by Burke’s lawyers in a Hail Mary attempt to win acquittal. This time, Solis is being called as one of the pillars of the prosecution’s case, adding import to how he comes across to the jury and also exposing him to a much more wide-ranging cross examination over his own alleged misdeeds. In his opening statement to the jury last month, Madigan attorney Tom Breen made clear there will be no kid-glove treatment of Solis, sarcastically calling him an “absolute beaut” and a morally bankrupt liar with a “decrepit personal and professional life.” Breen also called Solis a “braggart and a BS-er.” He told the jury Solis was given a script by the FBI and anything he said should be treated with suspicion. To be sure, Madigan’s legal team will have plenty of ammunition. Despite his own admittedly illegal acts, Solis was able to cut a deferred prosecution deal with the U.S. attorney’s office that many in Chicago’s legal community say is unprecedented for an elected official, especially one allegedly caught betraying the public trust. As part of the deal, Solis admitted to taking campaign cash from a real estate developer in exchange for official action as Zoning Committee chair. But instead of facing jail time, Solis will see all charges against him dropped next year, leaving him with a clean criminal record. What’s more, the deal could allow Solis to keep collecting his nearly $100,000 annual city pension, which could easily bring in a sizable sum from the taxpayer-funded system over the remainder of his lifetime. When the extraordinary leniency was made official in 2022, some in City Hall, including then-Mayor Lori Lightfoot, complained it was a travesty of justice. But the lead prosecutor on the case, Assistant U.S. Attorney Amarjeet Bhachu, told a federal judge Solis’ cooperation was perhaps “singular” even in the city’s long history of political corruption. “Some may view (Solis’ deal) as being with little precedent, but what Mr. Solis did also was with little precedent,” Bhachu said during a status hearing in Solis’ case two years ago. “He didn’t just talk. He took action. He worked with the federal government for six years to expose corruption.” Solis’ work as an FBI mole began in mid-2016, when he was confronted by investigators who had secretly listened in on hundreds of his phone calls over the course of nearly a year, including conversations where the alderman solicited everything from campaign donations to Viagra pills and sexual services at a massage parlor, court records show. He had already agreed to go undercover for investigators when he traveled to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia later that summer with the hopes of getting Madigan on tape, the Tribune has previously reported. Instead, Burke walked into the picture and the investigation took an abrupt turn. In testimony in Madigan’s trial last month, in fact, FBI Special Agent Ryan McDonald told the jury that Madigan didn’t resume as a focus until more than a year later. Burke was convicted of an array of corruption schemes last year in large part because of Solis’ cooperation and is now serving 2 years in prison. In her opening statement to the jury in Madigan’s case, Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Streicker outlined a series of schemes involving Solis, including one where Madigan allegedly pushed the governor’s office to place Solis on a six-figure state board position in exchange for the alderman’s help in landing legal business. She showed jurors a copy of a note on Madigan’s law firm stationery that signaled Solis would be interested in sitting on a state labor relations board or on the Illinois Commerce Commission. Madigan’s moves demonstrated how he operated in a “transactional” way, Streicker said. “When Madigan saw an opportunity to enrich himself, he took it,” she said. In another episode, Streicker said, Madigan specifically requested Solis to help connect the longtime speaker with Harry Skydell, the New York-based developer of the sprawling Old Post Office. In 2017, Madigan prepared to “exploit Solis’ power” over a proposed project called Union West in the West Loop, Streicker said. With the project being considered in the City Council where Solis oversaw zoning matters, Solis let Madigan know that the developer understood there was a “quid pro quo” that Madigan’s law firm should get the property tax business, Streicker said. Later, Madigan was recorded using “whisper tones” to give a “false explanation” to Solis and told him to steer clear of using the phrase “quid pro quo,” Streicker said. Breen, meanwhile, countered by playing the exchange that was captured on a shaky video recording Solis made of Madigan explaining that Solis should not use the term “quid pro quo” because what Madigan’s property tax appeals firm is offering high-quality work. jmeisner@chicagotribune.com

Chronic inflammation of the stomach, also known as gastritis, is another important factor in the development of stomach cancer. Infections with Helicobacter pylori, a type of bacteria that can cause gastritis, have been identified as a major risk factor for stomach cancer. The bacterium can induce chronic inflammation in the stomach lining, leading to cellular changes that promote the development of cancer over time. As younger individuals are increasingly exposed to risk factors such as H. pylori infection, the incidence of stomach cancer in this population continues to rise.WAGNER 81, SPRINGFIELD 46

However, the road to the Hall of Fame for Yao Ming is not as straightforward as one might think. In a recent press conference, a spokesperson for the Hall of Fame revealed that Yao Ming's induction will only move forward with his explicit approval. This requirement adds a new layer of complexity to the process, as it highlights the importance of Yao Ming's personal agency in determining the timing and manner of his entry into the Hall of Fame.The symptoms started out subtly – a mild headache that persisted for days, occasional dizziness, and a general feeling of fatigue. I brushed it off as stress or lack of sleep, never imagining it could be something more serious. That is until the pain in my head became unbearable, and I collapsed at home one evening.3.

Twitchy VIP readers, I'm BaaaAAAaack! I am so happy to be writing again. I have had a lot going on. My oldest daughter got married, and then I was quite sick for several weeks leading up to the election, plus the day after the election, I took a little trip to a little place across the pond we call London. For those of you who follow me on X, you know how exciting that is for me. It was like being at the NERD Super Bowl. I went to the Harry Potter Studio Tour and it was so cool! But I digress, Even though I could write 4 pages on my NERD dream vacation I want to tell you about what I noticed that the media does not tell us. From all of the media and entertainment I consume, I assumed people there would hate us just because we are American and I really thought they would hate us for electing Donald Trump. Surprisingly that was not the case. The first thing that is very different there is they all just think you will openly talk about who you voted for and why. Every shop owner, every Uber driver, even people just walking down the street would hear our accents and say: 'AMERICANS!! - What did you think of the election?' They were also very vocal about what they thought, and they were as divided as America. It was a 50/50 chance if they loved or hated Trump but even those who did not like Trump were not nearly as rabid and upset as the Left in the USA. This trip was a mother-daughter trip with my youngest, 2 of her oldest friends and their mothers. I did not know either of the mothers very well but before the trip, we all put out guidelines that we would not talk politics. We were evenly divided in our votes 3 Harris and 3 Trump but They did not know that. My daughter was a secret Trump vote, and they all thought I voted Libertarian as I had in a few past elections. When people would ask if we were happy about the election, the answer was usually 'We are split in this group so some of us are happy and some of us are not.' It was always tense though. Being an introvert, I did not want to deal with politics and people at the same time! I talk about politics regularly on the internet but I actually avoid talking about it IRL and on Facebook where I know people. I do not avoid it out of shame, I avoid it because I try to be a mostly polite human and it makes me feel like I am rude if I make people I know to be mostly decent humans look stupid, and we all know making Leftists look stupid is very easy! BACK TO LONDON! One gentleman heard one of us point out a vegetarian cafe to one of the friends and he yelled at the top of his lungs 'Don't be a vegetarian eat a pig! GO TRUMP!' and I had to laugh. Actually just about everyone in the vicinity laughed except for the Harris voters in the group. *SNORT* Another woman was selling jewelry at a street market and she had the girls captivated for a good 30 minutes while she told them why the Left is a bunch of hypocrites and why the USA is the only hope for the Western world. Watching them listen to her was kind of awesome. That talk moved at least two of the girls. My daughter who was the secret Trump vote came home from this trip saying she appreciated America and the blessings we have even more than she had before the vacation. The other young lady did not say much but she seemed touched and moved by the jewelry maker. The people who wanted Harris seemed to think it was obvious why they wanted her but they were not rude or acting like we were evil for not agreeing. It was really quite the opposite of what I had assumed would be the case. My daughter left London proud of her vote and actually chanted USA, USA, USA once we landed back in America. I love her. haha Anyway, all of that is to say, I learned that the Left in the United States is much worse than I thought. 80% of them do not seem to be able to have a normal conversation without pulling politics into everything, they can not seem to disagree with your politics but still be friendly. The people I traveled with were able to do that fine and I was happy about that, but I wish the Left in general could take a small lesson from the Londoners. They should be able to state their point but still be friendly and able to talk about something other than politics once they know we disagree. This used to be a skill we all had, but the Left has radicalized young people to the point where they are unable to even speak to their own family members without making a scene. Some to the point of posting on social media how they have officially stopped speaking to thier parents or siblings over a Trump vote. It is sad. Watching how they melted down while we were gone was wild. Shaving heads, crying, yelling. It is too much. The Left needs to get back to basics, allow people to disagree, and have normal discussions without the stunts and the hypocrisy. Anyway, I just wanted to say I am back, I had a wonderful time, and from my experience, the whole of England does not hate us, even those who disagree just dislike our politics but they do not seem to wish death upon us and our descendants for the next 100 years. I doubt they would ever try to get us fired from our jobs or SWAT our homes for our politics if they had the chance. It was quite an interesting trip. I am glad I got to see it, and I am VERY glad to be back home. AMERICA! Blessed to have been born here and so happy Kamala is not going to be our President in 2025. As my daughter said as we landed back home: USA! USA! USA! God Bless America!

By MICHELLE L. PRICE and ROB GILLIES NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s recent dinner with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his visit to Paris for the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral were not just exercises in policy and diplomacy. They were also prime trolling opportunities for Trump. Related Articles National Politics | Biden issues veto threat on bill expanding federal judiciary as partisan split emerges National Politics | Trump lawyers and aide hit with 10 additional felony charges in Wisconsin over 2020 fake electors National Politics | After withdrawing as attorney general nominee, Matt Gaetz lands a talk show on OANN television National Politics | What will happen to Social Security under Trump’s tax plan? National Politics | Republican-led states are rolling out plans that could aid Trump’s mass deportation effort Throughout his first term in the White House and during his campaign to return, Trump has spun out countless provocative, antagonizing and mocking statements. There were his belittling nicknames for political opponents, his impressions of other political figures and the plentiful memes he shared on social media. Now that’s he’s preparing to return to the Oval Office, Trump is back at it, and his trolling is attracting more attention — and eyerolls. On Sunday, Trump turned a photo of himself seated near a smiling first lady Jill Biden at the Notre Dame ceremony into a social media promo for his new perfume and cologne line, with the tag line, “A fragrance your enemies can’t resist!” The first lady’s office declined to comment. When Trudeau hastily flew to Florida to meet with Trump last month over the president-elect’s threat to impose a 25% tax on all Canadian products entering the U.S., the Republican tossed out the idea that Canada become the 51st U.S. state. The Canadians passed off the comment as a joke, but Trump has continued to play up the dig, including in a post Tuesday morning on his social media network referring to the prime minister as “Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada.” After decades as an entertainer and tabloid fixture, Trump has a flair for the provocative that is aimed at attracting attention and, in his most recent incarnation as a politician, mobilizing fans. He has long relished poking at his opponents, both to demean and minimize them and to delight supporters who share his irreverent comments and posts widely online and cheer for them in person. Trump, to the joy of his fans, first publicly needled Canada on his social media network a week ago when he posted an AI-generated image that showed him standing on a mountain with a Canadian flag next to him and the caption “Oh Canada!” After his latest post, Canadian Immigration Minister Marc Miller said Tuesday: “It sounds like we’re living in a episode of South Park.” Trudeau said earlier this week that when it comes to Trump, “his approach will often be to challenge people, to destabilize a negotiating partner, to offer uncertainty and even sometimes a bit of chaos into the well established hallways of democracies and institutions and one of the most important things for us to do is not to freak out, not to panic.” Even Thanksgiving dinner isn’t a trolling-free zone for Trump’s adversaries. On Thanksgiving Day, Trump posted a movie clip from “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” with President Joe Biden and other Democrats’ faces superimposed on the characters in a spoof of the turkey-carving scene. The video shows Trump appearing to explode out of the turkey in a swirl of purple sparks, with the former president stiffly dancing to one of his favorite songs, Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.” In his most recent presidential campaign, Trump mocked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, refusing to call his GOP primary opponent by his real name and instead dubbing him “Ron DeSanctimonious.” He added, for good measure, in a post on his Truth Social network: “I will never call Ron DeSanctimonious ‘Meatball’ Ron, as the Fake News is insisting I will.” As he campaigned against Biden, Trump taunted him in online posts and with comments and impressions at his rallies, deriding the president over his intellect, his walk, his golf game and even his beach body. After Vice President Kamala Harris took over Biden’s spot as the Democratic nominee, Trump repeatedly suggested she never worked at McDonalds while in college. Trump, true to form, turned his mocking into a spectacle by appearing at a Pennsylvania McDonalds in October, when he manned the fries station and held an impromptu news conference from the restaurant drive-thru. Trump’s team thinks people should get a sense of humor. “President Trump is a master at messaging and he’s always relatable to the average person, whereas many media members take themselves too seriously and have no concept of anything else other than suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome,” said Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director. “President Trump will Make America Great Again and we are getting back to a sense of optimism after a tumultuous four years.” Though both the Biden and Harris campaigns created and shared memes and launched other stunts to respond to Trump’s taunts, so far America’s neighbors to the north are not taking the bait. “I don’t think we should necessarily look on Truth Social for public policy,” Miller said. Gerald Butts, a former top adviser to Trudeau and a close friend, said Trump brought up the 51st state line to Trudeau repeatedly during Trump’s first term in office. “Oh God,” Butts said Tuesday, “At least a half dozen times.” “This is who he is and what he does. He’s trying to destabilize everybody and make people anxious,” Butts said. “He’s trying to get people on the defensive and anxious and therefore willing to do things they wouldn’t otherwise entertain if they had their wits about them. I don’t know why anybody is surprised by it.” Gillies reported from Toronto. Associated Press writer Darlene Superville contributed to this report.

Macy’s Struggles and Its Bold New Chapter: Can the Iconic Retailer Make a Comeback?In the midst of ongoing conflict and unrest in Syria, the capital city of Damascus has recently experienced a relative lull in large-scale clashes. While the city still remains a hotspot for sporadic violence and small-scale disturbances, the absence of major battles has provided a temporary respite for its residents.Unlike scores of people who for the blockbuster drugs Ozempic and Wegovy to lose weight in recent years, Danielle Griffin had no trouble getting them. The 38-year-old information technology worker from New Mexico had a prescription. Her pharmacy had the drugs in stock. And her covered all but $25 to $50 of the monthly cost. For Griffin, the hardest part of using the new drugs wasn’t access. It was finding out that the didn’t really work for her. “I have been on Wegovy for a year and a half and have only lost 13 pounds,” said Griffin, who watches her diet, drinks plenty of water and exercises regularly. “I’ve done everything right with no success. It’s discouraging.” In clinical trials, most participants taking Wegovy or Mounjaro to treat obesity lost an average of 15% to 22% of their body weight — up to 50 pounds or more in many cases. But roughly 10% to 15% of patients in those trials were “nonresponders” who lost less than 5% of their body weight. Now that millions of people have used the drugs, several obesity experts told The Associated Press that perhaps 20% of patients — as many as 1 in 5 — may not respond well to the medications. It’s a little-known consequence of the obesity drug boom, according to doctors who caution eager patients not to expect one-size-fits-all results. “It’s all about explaining that different people have different responses,” said Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, an obesity expert at Massachusetts General Hospital The drugs are known as GLP-1 receptor agonists because they mimic a hormone in the body known as glucagon-like peptide 1. Genetics, hormones and variability in how the brain regulates energy can all influence weight — and a person’s response to the drugs, Stanford said. Medical conditions such as sleep apnea can prevent weight loss, as can certain common medications, such as antidepressants, steroids and contraceptives. “This is a disease that stems from the brain,” said Stanford. “The dysfunction may not be the same” from patient to patient. Despite such cautions, patients are often upset when they start getting the weekly injections but the numbers on the scale barely budge. “It can be devastating,” said Dr. Katherine Saunders, an obesity expert at Weill Cornell Medicine and co-founder of the obesity treatment company FlyteHealth. “With such high expectations, there’s so much room for disappointment.” That was the case for Griffin, who has battled obesity since childhood and hoped to shed 70 pounds using Wegovy. The drug helped reduce her appetite and lowered her risk of diabetes, but she saw little change in weight. “It’s an emotional roller coaster,” she said. “You want it to work like it does for everybody else.” The medications are along with eating behavior and lifestyle changes. It’s usually clear within weeks whether someone will respond to the drugs, said Dr. Jody Dushay, an endocrine specialist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Weight loss typically begins right away and continues as the dosage increases. For some patients, that just doesn’t happen. For others, side effects such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea force them to halt the medications, Dushay said. In such situations, patients who were counting on the new drugs to pare pounds may think they’re out of options. “I tell them: It’s not game over,” Dushay said. Trying a different version of the new class of drugs may help. Griffin, who didn’t respond well to Wegovy, has started using Zepbound, which targets an additional hormone pathway in the body. After three months of using the drug, she has lost 7 pounds. “I’m hoping it’s slow and steady,” she said. Other people respond well to older drugs, the experts said. Changing diet, exercise, sleep and stress habits can also have profound effects. Figuring out what works typically requires a doctor trained to treat obesity, Saunders noted. “Obesity is such a complex disease that really needs to be treated very comprehensively,” she said. “If what we’re prescribing doesn’t work, we always have a backup plan.” ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.
