OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed confidence Wednesday that Elon Musk would not use his proximity to Donald Trump to harm business rivals, calling such actions "profoundly un-American." Speaking at the New York Times DealBook conference, Altman addressed concerns about Musk's announced role heading a new Department of Government Efficiency in the incoming Donald Trump administration, and whether he might use it to favor his own companies. "I may turn out to be wrong, but I believe pretty strongly that Elon will do the right thing," Altman said. "It would be profoundly un-American to use political power to hurt your competitors and advantage your own businesses." Even if there are "lots of things not to like about him... it would go so deeply against the values I believe he holds very dear to himself that I'm not that worried about it." Musk, an OpenAI co-founder who later departed the company, is currently suing Altman's firm and Microsoft, claiming they shifted from the project's original nonprofit mission. He has since launched xAI, reportedly valued at $50 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable startups. Altman said that the court battle was "tremendously sad" and that he once saw Musk as "a mega hero." Musk became a close ally of Trump during his campaign, spending over $100 million to boost his presidential bid and joining him at rallies. Since the election victory, he has been a frequent presence in the Trump transition and was reportedly on the line when Google CEO Sundar Pichai called the president-elect to congratulate him on winning the election. The tycoon's businesses have deep connections with governments -- both in the United States and elsewhere -- and his new position has raised concerns about conflict of interest. During the interview, Altman also lowered expectations for the importance of OpenAI's models achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), a benchmark of human-level intelligence the company has long set as the goal for its technology. "My guess is we will hit AGI sooner than most people in the world think, and it will matter much less," he said. "A lot of the safety concerns that we and others expressed actually don't come at the AGI moment... AGI can get built. The world goes on mostly the same way," he said. arp/ahaBy Anna Helhoski, NerdWallet The battle to get here was certainly an uphill one, but people are generally feeling better about the economy and their finances than they once did. On top of that, the economy has been easing into an ideal, Goldilocks-like position — not running too hot or cooling too quickly. Throughout 2024, consumer sentiment data showed people were fairly positive about the economy and their own finances, even if there’s remaining frustration over elevated prices compared to four years ago. Looking ahead, households are feeling more optimistic about their personal finances in the next year, as the share of those expecting to be in a better financial situation a year from now hit its highest level since February 2020. Combine positive personal vibes with a strong economic picture and it looks like 2024 wasn’t so bad for consumers, after all. But that doesn’t mean there weren’t bumps in the road or potential roadblocks ahead. To cap off the year, NerdWallet writers reflect on the top trends in personal finance and the economy this year — and what they think might be ahead in 2025. The economy steadily grew Elizabeth Renter, NerdWallet’s economist What happened: In 2024, U.S. consumers have proven resilient following a period of high inflation and ongoing high interest rates. Wage growth has been strong, owing in part to rising productivity. This has driven robust spending throughout the year, which has kept the economy growing at a healthy pace. The labor market has remained steady, though cooler than 2023, and price growth continues to moderate towards the Federal Reserve’s 2% inflation goal. What’s ahead: Barring significant changes to economic policy and significant shocks, the U.S. economy is expected to grow at a moderate rate in the coming year. Inflation will continue to moderate and the labor market will remain relatively healthy, all due in part to continued slow and deliberate rate cuts from the Fed. However, there are risks to this path. Higher tariffs and tighter immigration policies are likely, but the extent of these changes are yet unclear. The potential policy scenarios are many, and the economic outcomes complex. Increased tariffs are generally inflationary, and stricter immigration policies could impact the labor supply and economic growth. Consumers and small business owners with their eyes to the new year should focus on the things within their control. Savings accounts offered high rates and returns Margarette Burnette, consumer banking and savings writer What happened: High-yield savings accounts and certificates of deposit offered elevated rates in 2024, rewarding savers with strong returns. Following the Federal Reserve rate cuts in the second half of the year, high-yield accounts had modest rate decreases, but they continued to outperform traditional savings accounts and CDs. What’s ahead: We’re watching for further Federal Reserve rate cuts, which could lead to more decreases in savings rates. Credit card debt hit a high Sara Rathner, credit cards writer What happened: Credit card debt levels hit record highs, with consumers turning to credit cards to pay for necessities. While the economy is doing well, many individuals have struggled to make ends meet, as incomes haven’t kept up with certain costs. What’s ahead: We may see some policy and regulation changes with the incoming administration that could affect folks when it comes to credit cards, debt and consumer protections. Small business boomed Ryan Brady, small business writer What happened : New businesses continued to blossom in 2024 as business applications remained well above pre-pandemic levels. Confidence in the future state of the U.S. economy also spiked after the presidential election, but that optimism was tempered by concerns over rising costs and labor quality. What’s ahead: All eyes are on the incoming administration as small-business owners brace for turbulence resulting from potential tariffs, tax policy changes and dismantled government regulations. We’re also watching the possibility of interest rate cuts in 2025 and small-business owners’ growing reliance on new technologies, such as AI. Home buying remained challenging Holden Lewis, mortgages writer What happened: Home buyers struggled with elevated mortgage rates, rising house prices and a shortage of homes for sale. On top of that, a new rule required buyers to negotiate their agents’ commissions. What’s ahead: The Federal Reserve is expected to cut short-term interest rates, but mortgage rates might not necessarily fall by a similar amount. Buyers will probably have more properties to choose from, and the greater supply should keep prices from rising a lot. Interest rates on home equity loans and lines of credit should fall, making it less expensive to borrow to fix up homes — either to sell, or to make the home more comfortable and efficient. The markets were a boon for investors Sam Taube, investing writer What happened: The stock market had a great year. The S&P 500 is up more than 25% due to falling interest rates, fading recession fears, AI hype, and the possibility of lighter taxes and regulations under the new administration. Cryptocurrency also saw big gains in 2024; the price of Bitcoin crossed the $100,000 mark for the first time in December. What’s ahead: A lot depends on how fast the Fed reduces rates in 2025. Another key unknown is Trump’s second term. Regulatory rollbacks, such as those he has proposed for the banking industry, could juice stock prices — but they also could create systemic risks in the economy. His proposed tariffs could also hurt economic growth (and therefore stock prices). Finally, it remains to be seen whether trendy AI stocks, such as NVIDIA, can continue their momentum into next year. It’s the same story with crypto: How long will this bull market last? Premiums went up for home and auto insurance Caitlin Constantine, assistant assigning editor, insurance What happened: Many people saw their home and auto insurance premiums skyrocket in 2024. In some states, homeowners are finding it harder to even find policies in the first place. Meanwhile, life insurance rates have started to decrease post-pandemic. We also saw more insurers offering online-only policies that don’t require a medical exam. What’s ahead: Auto and home insurance costs will likely continue to rise, although auto premiums may not rise as dramatically as they have over the past few years. And if you’re in the market for life insurance, expect to see competitive life insurance quotes and more customizable policies. Lawsuits and uncertainty over student loan relief continued Eliza Haverstock, student loans writer What happened: Borrowers received historic student loan relief, but lawsuits derailed an income-driven repayment plan used by 8 million whose payments are indefinitely paused. Uncertainty will carry into 2025 as a result of the presidential administration change. What’s ahead: Trump has pledged to overhaul higher education and rein in student loan relief. The fate of the SAVE repayment plan, student loan forgiveness options, FAFSA processing and more remain in the balance. Traveling in style was all the rage Meghan Coyle, assistant assigning editor, travel What happened: People are willing to pay more for big and small luxuries while traveling, and airlines and hotels are taking note. Many airlines raised checked bag fees early in 2024, credit card issuers and airlines invested in renovated airport lounges, and major hotel companies continued to add luxury properties and brands to their loyalty programs. What’s ahead: Southwest will say goodbye to its open seating policy and introduce new extra-legroom seats, a major departure for the airline. Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines will unveil a unified loyalty program in 2025. Spirit Airlines may attempt to merge with another airline again after its 2024 bankruptcy filing and two failed mergers under President Biden’s administration. Travelers will find that they’ll have to pay a premium to enjoy most of the upgrades airlines and hotels are making. Dynamic pricing expanded its reach Laura McMullen, assistant assigning editor, personal finance What happened: This year, dynamic pricing expanded beyond concerts and travel to online retailers and even fast-food restaurants. This practice of prices changing based on real-time supply and demand received plenty of backlash from consumers and prompted the Federal Trade Commission to investigate how companies use consumers’ data to set prices. What’s ahead: Beyond an expansion of dynamic pricing — perhaps with added oversight — expect subscription models to become more prevalent and demand for sustainable products to grow. The car market came back for buyers Shannon Bradley, autos writer What happened: New-car prices held steady in 2024 but remained high after a few years of sharp increases — the average new car now sells for about $48,000, and for the first time ever the price gap between new and used cars surpassed $20,000 (average used-car prices are now slightly more than $25,000). Overall, the car market returned to being in the buyer’s favor, as new-car inventories reached pre-pandemic levels, manufacturer incentives began making a comeback and auto loan interest rates started to decline. What’s ahead: The future of the car market is uncertain and depends on policies implemented by the incoming administration. Questions surround the impact of possible tariffs on car prices, whether auto loan rates will continue to drop, and if federal tax credits will still be available for electric vehicle buyers. Buy now, pay later grew in popularity Jackie Veling, personal loans writer What happened: Buy now, pay later continued to be a popular payment choice for U.S. shoppers, even while facing headwinds, like an interpretive ruling from the CFPB (which determined BNPL should be regulated the same as credit cards) and Apple’s discontinuation of its popular Apple Pay Later product. Large players like Affirm, Klarna and Afterpay continued to offer interest-free, pay-in-four plans at most major retailers, along with long-term plans for larger purchases. What’s ahead: Though more regulation had been widely anticipated in 2025, the change in administration suggests the CFPB will play a less active role in regulating BNPL products. For this reason, and its continued strength in the market, BNPL will likely keep growing. Inflation eased, finally Taryn Phaneuf, news writer What happened: Easing inflation was a bright spot in 2024. In June, the consumer price index fell below 3% for the first time in three years. Consumers saw prices level off or decline for many goods, including for groceries, gas and new and used vehicles. But prices haven’t fallen far enough or broadly enough to relieve the pinch many households feel. What’s ahead: The new and higher tariffs proposed by the Trump administration could reignite inflation on a wide range of goods. Rents were still high, but price growth slowed Taryn Phaneuf, news writer What happened: Rent prices remain high, but annual rent inflation slowed significantly compared to recent years, staying around 3.5% for much of 2024, according to Zillow, a real estate website that tracks rents. A wave of newly constructed rental units on the market seems to be helping ease competition among renters and forcing landlords to offer better incentives for signing a lease. What’s ahead: If it continues, a softening rental market could work in renters’ favor. But construction is one of several industries that could see a shortage of workers if the Trump administration follows through on its promise to deport undocumented immigrants. A shortage of workers would mean fewer houses and apartments could be built. Trump won the election, promised tariffs and deportations Anna Helhoski, news writer What happened: After a contentious presidential campaign, former President Donald Trump declared victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. While on the campaign trail, Trump promised to lower inflation, cut taxes, enact tariffs, weaken the power of the Federal Reserve, deport undocumented immigrants and more. Many economists have said Trump’s proposals, if enacted, would likely be inflationary. In Congress, Republicans earned enough seats to control both houses. What’s ahead: It’s unclear which campaign promises Trump will fulfill on his own and with the support of the new Congress. He has promised a slew of “day one” actions that could lead to higher prices, including across-the-board tariffs and mass deportations. Most recently, Trump pledged to enact 20% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, as well as an additional 10% tariff on China. He has also promised to extend or make permanent the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; many of its provisions expire by the end of 2025. Congress squabbled while consumer-first, antitrust efforts won Anna Helhoski, news writer What happened: Fiscal year 2023-2024’s funding saga finally came to an end in March, then six months later, the battle to fund the fiscal year 2024-2025 began. The Biden Administration waged its own war against junk fees . Antitrust enforcers pushed back against tech giants like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Meta; prevented the Kroger-Albertsons merger; nixed the Jet Blue-Spirit Airlines merger; and moved to ban noncompete agreements. The Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the constitutionality of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, as well as a challenge to abortion pill access. SCOTUS also overruled its landmark Chevron case, which means every federal regulatory agency’s power to set and enforce its own rules are now weaker. What’s ahead: The election’s red sweep means the GOP will control the executive and legislative branches of government. They’ll face the threat of at least one more potential government shutdown; a debt ceiling drama comeback; and the beginning of the debate over extending or making permanent provisions of the expiring 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

DETROIT (AP) — Detroit and Green Bay , longtime rivals and current contenders, will have much at stake when they meet Thursday night in the Motor City. The NFC-leading Lions (11-1) are aiming to stay ahead of Philadelphia (10-2) in the race for the conference's best record and Minnesota (10-2) in the NFC North with a win against the Packers. Detroit can also clinch a spot in the playoffs with an 11th straight victory that would set a franchise record. “We’re in playoff football right now,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said. “This is the type of stuff that you live for and it’s also the type of stuff that gets you ready for the tournament.” Green Bay (9-3) also has a lot to play for because it can pull within a game of the Lions if it can split the season series with a slight upset as 3 1/2-point underdogs, according to BetMGM. “This game is going to be important for us moving forward toward the end of this thing and we’re going to treat it as such,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. Green Bay’s ability to slow down Detroit’s run game might be pivotal. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, the first teammates in league history to run for at least 10 touchdowns in consecutive seasons, have combined to average more than 140 yards on the ground per game. The Packers limited San Francisco's Christian McCaffrey to 31 yards on 11 attempts and held Miami to 39 yards rushing in their past two games. It was the first time since 1995, and just the second time since 1950, that they gave up fewer than 45 yards rushing in two straight weeks. Montgomery ran 17 times for 73 yards and Gibbs had 65 yards rushing and a touchdown on 11 carries last month at Green Bay. “They played Montgomery the whole first half and then the second half they came with Gibbs,” McKinney recalled. “They got a good 1-2 punch.” Home field has not been an advantage in the series lately. The road team has won four straight games, going back to Detroit closing the 2022 regular season and Aaron Rodgers' career with the Packers in a 20-16 win at Lambeau Field. Green Bay has won five straight NFC North road games, including last year at Detroit on Thanksgiving. McKinney and Lions safety Kerby Joseph each have an NFL -high seven interceptions, leading the rest of the league by at least two. Joseph had a pick-6 in the most recent meeting against Green Bay and has picked off four passes in four games against the Packers. “He’s a ballhawk,” Packers quarterback Jordan Love said. “He’s going to make the plays when the ball’s in the air, so he’s definitely a guy you’ve got to know where he’s at.” Lions coach Dan Campbell was taken aback at a news conference recently when a reporter informed him Gibbs had a post on social media showing some of the team's strategy. “I'd rather our stuff not be out there,” Campbell said. Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur feels the same way, though he said it doesn't provide a competitive edge to see another team's terminology on a whiteboard. “Guys understand that nobody wants their information out there for the whole world to see, so we try to keep everything in house here,” LaFleur said. “But I don’t think it’s like the end of the world, either.” Both teams will play a third game in 12 days. “How the whole organization has handled this has been really impressive,” said Packers defensive lineman Lukas Van Ness, who had a sack in each of his past two games. After the game, each team will get a break. The Lions will host the AFC East champion Buffalo Bills on Dec. 15 and Green Bay plays at Seattle later that night. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLNEW YORK (AP) — Chuck Woolery, the affable, smooth-talking game show host of “Wheel of Fortune,” “Love Connection” and “Scrabble” who later became a right-wing podcaster, skewering liberals and accusing the government of lying about COVID-19, has died. He was 83. Mark Young, Woolery's podcast co-host and friend, said in an email early Sunday that Woolery died at his home in Texas with his wife, Kristen, present. “Chuck was a dear friend and brother and a tremendous man of faith, life will not be the same without him,” Young wrote. Woolery, with his matinee idol looks, coiffed hair and ease with witty banter, was inducted into the American TV Game Show Hall of Fame in 2007 and earned a daytime Emmy nomination in 1978. In 1983, Woolery began an 11-year run as host of TV’s “Love Connection,” for which he coined the phrase, “We’ll be back in two minutes and two seconds,” a two-fingered signature dubbed the “2 and 2.” In 1984, he hosted TV’s “Scrabble,” simultaneously hosting two game shows on TV until 1990. “Love Connection,” which aired long before the dawn of dating apps, had a premise that featured either a single man or single woman who would watch audition tapes of three potential mates and then pick one for a date. A couple of weeks after the date, the guest would sit with Woolery in front of a studio audience and tell everybody about the date. The audience would vote on the three contestants, and if the audience agreed with the guest’s choice, “Love Connection” would offer to pay for a second date. Woolery told The Philadelphia Inquirer in 2003 that his favorite set of lovebirds was a man aged 91 and a woman aged 87. "She had so much eye makeup on, she looked like a stolen Corvette. He was so old he said, ‘I remember wagon trains.’ The poor guy. She took him on a balloon ride.” Other career highlights included hosting the shows “Lingo," “Greed” and “The Chuck Woolery Show,” as well as hosting the short-lived syndicated revival of “The Dating Game” from 1998 to 2000 and an ill-fated 1991 talk show. In 1992, he played himself in two episodes of TV’s “Melrose Place.” Woolery became the subject of the Game Show Network’s first attempt at a reality show, “Chuck Woolery: Naturally Stoned,” which premiered in 2003. It shared the title of the pop song in 1968 by Woolery and his rock group, the Avant-Garde. It lasted six episode and was panned by critics. Woolery began his TV career at a show that has become a mainstay. Although most associated with Pat Sajak and Vanna White, “Wheel of Fortune” debuted Jan. 6, 1975, on NBC with Woolery welcoming contestants and the audience. Woolery, then 33, was trying to make it in Nashville as a singer. “Wheel of Fortune” started life as “Shopper’s Bazaar,” incorporating Hangman-style puzzles and a roulette wheel. After Woolery appeared on “The Merv Griffin Show” singing “Delta Dawn,” Merv Griffin asked him to host the new show with Susan Stafford. “I had an interview that stretched to 15, 20 minutes,” Woolery told The New York Times in 2003. “After the show, when Merv asked if I wanted to do a game show, I thought, ‘Great, a guy with a bad jacket and an equally bad mustache who doesn’t care what you have to say — that’s the guy I want to be.’” NBC initially passed, but they retooled it as “Wheel of Fortune” and got the green light. After a few years, Woolery demanded a raise to $500,000 a year, or what host Peter Marshall was making on “Hollywood Squares.” Griffin balked and replaced Woolery with weather reporter Pat Sajak. “Both Chuck and Susie did a fine job, and ‘Wheel’ did well enough on NBC, although it never approached the kind of ratings success that ‘Jeopardy!’ achieved in its heyday,” Griffin said in “Merv: Making the Good Life Last,” an autobiography from the 2000s co-written by David Bender. Woolery earned an Emmy nod as host. Born in Ashland, Kentucky, Woolery served in the U.S. Navy before attending college. He played double bass in a folk trio, then formed the psychedelic rock duo The Avant-Garde in 1967 while working as a truck driver to support himself as a musician. The Avant-Garde, which tourbed in a refitted Cadillac hearse, had the Top 40 hit “Naturally Stoned,” with Woolery singing, “When I put my mind on you alone/I can get a good sensation/Feel like I’m naturally stoned.” After The Avant-Garde broke up, Woolery released his debut solo single “I’ve Been Wrong” in 1969 and several more singles with Columbia before transitioning to country music by the 1970s. He released two solo singles, “Forgive My Heart” and “Love Me, Love Me.” Woolery wrote or co-wrote songs for himself and everyone from Pat Boone to Tammy Wynette. On Wynette’s 1971 album “We Sure Can Love Each Other,” Woolery wrote “The Joys of Being a Woman” with lyrics including “See our baby on the swing/Hear her laugh, hear her scream.” After his TV career ended, Woolery went into podcasting. In an interview with The New York Times, he called himself a gun-rights activist and described himself as a conservative libertarian and constitutionalist. He said he hadn’t revealed his politics in liberal Hollywood for fear of retribution. He teamed up with Mark Young in 2014 for the podcast “Blunt Force Truth” and soon became a full supporter of Donald Trump while arguing minorities don’t need civil rights and causing a firestorm by tweeting an antisemitic comment linking Soviet Communists to Judaism. “President Obama’s popularity is a fantasy only held by him and his dwindling legion of juice-box-drinking, anxiety-dog-hugging, safe-space-hiding snowflakes,” he said. Woolery also was active online, retweeting articles from Conservative Brief, insisting Democrats were trying to install a system of Marxism and spreading headlines such as “Impeach him! Devastating photo of Joe Biden leaks.” During the early stages of the pandemic, Woolery initially accused medical professionals and Democrats of lying about the virus in an effort to hurt the economy and Trump’s chances for reelection to the presidency. “The most outrageous lies are the ones about COVID-19. Everyone is lying. The CDC, media, Democrats, our doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust. I think it’s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I’m sick of it,” Woolery wrote in July 2020. Trump retweeted that post to his 83 million followers. By the end of the month, nearly 4.5 million Americans had been infected with COVID-19 and more than 150,000 had died. Just days later, Woolery changed his stance, announcing his son had contracted COVID-19. “To further clarify and add perspective, COVID-19 is real and it is here. My son tested positive for the virus, and I feel for of those suffering and especially for those who have lost loved ones,” Woolery posted before his account was deleted. Woolery later explained on his podcast that he never called COVID-19 “a hoax” or said “it’s not real,” just that “we’ve been lied to.” Woolery also said it was “an honor to have your president retweet what your thoughts are and think it’s important enough to do that.” In addition to his wife, Woolery is survived by his sons Michael and Sean and his daughter Melissa, Young said.

VP pick and roll. Former Kamala Harris campaign surrogate and “Shark Tank” mogul Mark Cuban believes he can win the presidency by choosing an NBA legend as his running mate, the NY Post reports.

During an appearance on “The Steam Room” podcast, hosted by NBA TNT television personalities Ernie Johnson and Charles Barkley, Cuban answered whether his recent turn as a political pundit would result in seeking elected office. Cuban first said “hell no,” about running for higher office, but said one thing could possibly change his mind. “Would your feeling on a run for office change if it were, say, a ticket of you and the Chuckster,” legendary basketball announcer Ernie Johnson asked, referring to his co-host as the potential running mate. “Yes, absolutely,” Cuban replied with relish. “We’d win running away. No question about it.” “We’d win,” Barkley said in matter-of-fact agreement. “We’d definitely win. Yes absolutely, running away.” MORE: Ivanka reveals ‘hurtful toll’ behind Trump snub Cuban heaped praise on Barkley, all but calling him a role model for civility and personability. “Charles can talk to anybody and put himself in any circumstance and get along with everybody, and I think that’s what we need,” Cuban said. Moments before, the Round Mound of Rebound himself asked Cuban whether he “seriously considered” seeking an elected office. “I did a little bit,” Cuban said with a wince. “I even talked to a pollster. But then I talked to my family and we took a family vote and they said, “hell no.” Cuban further elaborated that he believes today’s politics is “meaner” and that the “hate on social media” serves as a legitimate deterrent to his civic impulses. “If your kids live on social media, why would I put them through that?” Cuban asked rhetorically. Cuban, who was an active surrogate for the Harris campaign, said he was disappointed with Trump’s election victory in November —- but he is more focused on the future than the past. MORE: High roller Trump kids’ multimillion dollar digs “What’s your first, initial reaction to the election going forward,” Barkley asked the minority owner of the Dallas Mavericks. “It’s like losing the last game of the season. You know? It’s a horrible feeling; walking off the court is awful. But, you know, you’ve got to look forward to next season,” said Cuban. “You can’t dwell on it, you’ve got to think what you can do going forward, and I care about this country, I love this country, and that’s important to me. It’s not about “I hate this person” or “I hate that person.” No. It’s about what can we do going forward,” he stated. The billionaire turned political pundit made news throughout the election cycle, oftentimes due to high-profile flubs. Cuban faced backlash after claiming Donald Trump doesn’t surround himself with “strong, intelligent women.” “They’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them, and, you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women. I mean, he just can’t have her around. It wouldn’t work,” Cuban said on “The View” at the time. He later apologised for the comments that were seen as dismissive and disrespectful to conservative women. The billionaire was also roundly mocked in online conservative circles during the campaign — with many suggesting that his new black-rimmed glasses bring out a resemblance to liberal MSNBC talk show host Rachel Maddow.

Platforms like the ://vital-mag.net blog demonstrate how consistent, high-quality content can build trust and foster brand loyalty. By addressing readers’ needs and offering valuable insights, blogging remains one of the most powerful tools in your content arsenal. For small business owners, digital marketers, and content creators, understanding the potential of blogging in an AI-driven world is a must. Whether you’re looking to reach new customers or strengthen relationships with existing ones, this guide will walk you through why blogging matters, how it builds trust, and how to get the most out of it, even with AI in the mix. What Is Blogging in the Digital Age? At its core, blogging is about sharing valuable, engaging content with your audience. A blog is far more than just a corner of your website; it’s a platform for communication, education, and connection. Blogs give your brand a voice. They allow you to tackle questions, share insights, and showcase your values in a way that resonates with your audience. And in an era where consumers crave authenticity and transparency, blogs deliver that personal touch better than most marketing tools. Why Blogging Matters Here’s a statistic to consider 53% of consumers conduct online research before purchasing. Blogs tap into this behavior by providing answers, guidance, and reassurance. They serve as a friendly hand during customer decision-making, building trust at every stage. Over time, blogs don’t just improve your SEO or drive traffic they solidify your authority, making you the brand your audience turns to repeatedly. Building Trust Through Authentic Content Create Value, Not Just Words There’s a big difference between blogging for content volume and genuinely connecting with your audience. Authenticity is key. Focus on creating blog posts that solve problems, answer questions, or entertain your audience. Every post should provide value, leaving readers feeling informed, inspired, or understood. The Role of Storytelling Never underestimate the power of a good story. Sharing personal anecdotes, customer success stories, or behind-the-scenes glimpses into your brand humanizes your business, making it relatable. Whether it’s how your product helped a customer overcome a challenge or the passion that brought your vision to life, storytelling fosters connection. Personalization Makes All the Difference Blogs that feel personal are far more engaging. Use conversational language, address your readers directly, and tailor content to their interests or needs. A blog post that feels like a one-on-one chat is incredibly effective for building trust. Leveraging AI for Better Blogging AI is not here to replace human creativity but to enhance it. Small business owners and content creators can use AI to make their blogging process faster, more efficient, and more impactful. AI Writing Tools Platforms like Jasper and Grammarly can streamline everything from grammar checks to keyword optimization, helping you craft polished, professional posts every time. AI tools also analyze readability, ensuring your content resonates with your audience. Maintain the Human Touch While AI can optimize your blogs, never forget the importance of the human touch. Consumers connect with people, not algorithms. Pepper your AI-optimized content with personal anecdotes or tailored messaging to keep your blog authentic and relatable. Engaging Your Audience Spark Conversations Engagement isn’t just about getting clicks; it’s about starting conversations. Ask questions at the end of your posts, encourage readers to comment, and make it easy for them to reach out or share their thoughts. Build a Community Your blog isn’t just a repository for content it’s the foundation of a community. Successful projects such as the Fappening blog demonstrate how sharing user-generated content, featuring customer spotlights, or running interactive polls can foster a sense of belonging. These elements transform a blog into a shared space, creating a two-way conversation that keeps audiences engaged and connected. Measuring Success and Adjusting Strategies Key Metrics to Watch To ensure your blog is hitting the mark, regularly monitor performance metrics. These might include: Traffic – How many visitors are reading your blog? Engagement – Are readers staying on your page, commenting, or sharing? Conversions – Is your blog driving newsletter signups, product purchases, or other actions? Refine Based on Data Use analytics to identify what’s working and what isn’t. If specific topics get consistent engagement, create more of that content. If bounce rates are high, evaluate whether your post meets reader expectations. Case Studies: Blogging in Action Case Study #1: A Specialty Coffee Brand An artisan coffee brand used blogging to share stories about sustainable sourcing practices. By writing about their farmers and the bean-to-cup process, they built a loyal following who appreciated the brand’s commitment to ethics and quality. Case Study #2: A Fitness Equipment Startup A fitness startup launched a blog on workout tips, nutrition advice, and home gym setup ideas. Over time, they improved their SEO rankings and became a go-to resource for fitness enthusiasts, directly boosting product sales. Why Blogging Is Your Secret Weapon Blogging isn’t just content creation it’s trust creation. It’s an opportunity to establish your expertise, resonate with your audience, and set your brand apart in an increasingly competitive landscape. Consistency and authenticity are your greatest assets if you’re just starting. Treat your blog as a long-term investment, and its value will grow .

Comments( MENAFN - Amman Net) During Bashar al-Assad's years in power, Syria became a major hub for the production and trafficking of Captagon, a synthetic stimulant that has spread widely across the Middle East. This illicit trade has caused catastrophic effects on neighboring countries, particularly Jordan, which has suffered greatly from drug smuggling across its borders with Syria. With increasing discussions about the potential fall of Bashar al-Assad's Regime due to the Syrian revolution and shifting power dynamics in the country, questions arise about the fate of the Captagon empire and its impact on Jordan and the wider region. Captagon: A Trade Backed by the Regime During the Syrian war, Captagon trade emerged as one of the primary sources of funding for the Assad regime and its allies. International reports indicate that Syria, under Assad's rule, became the world's largest producer of Captagon. The regime exploited the chaos of war to manage drug smuggling networks in cooperation with local and regional militias, turning the country into a global center for the production of this substance. Captagon factories were spread across regime-controlled areas, including regions near the Jordanian border, where drugs were smuggled to Gulf countries through complex trafficking routes. This was not merely a criminal enterprise but a massive trade generating billions of dollars annually for the regime, helping it finance its military operations and suppress opposition. Jordan's Suffering from Drug Smuggling Jordan, as Syria's neighbor, has been one of the most affected countries by this illicit empire. The border between the two countries stretches over 375 kilometers, making it difficult to fully control smuggling operations. During the war years, attempts to smuggle Captagon into Jordan doubled, with traffickers using innovative and dangerous methods, including drones and booby-trapped vehicles carrying drug shipments. Jordan faced several challenges due to this phenomenon: 1. Crisis in public health and society: The number of drug addicts in Jordan rose significantly, putting pressure on the country's healthcare and social systems. 2. Security threats: The Jordanian border became a constant battleground with smuggling gangs supported by Syrian militias, leading to casualties among Jordanian security forces. 3. Economic impact: The Jordanian government incurred significant costs to bolster border security, including deploying additional forces and using advanced technologies to monitor smuggling operations. The Fall of Assad's Regime: The End of the Captagon Empire? With the increasing likelihood of Bashar al-Assad's regime falling due to the renewed popular revolution and the regime losing control over large parts of the country, it is essential to consider the future of Captagon trade. Many analysts suggest that the regime's collapse will disrupt the smuggling networks it supported, but this alone will not be enough to eradicate the trade entirely. Several factors will determine this: 1. Dismantling production networks: There must be international and local efforts to dismantle Captagon factories and prevent their reactivation by other militias or terrorist groups. 2. Rebuilding security institutions: After the regime's fall, Syria will need to rebuild its security institutions to ensure border control and prevent the country from being used as a base for drug trafficking. 3. Regional cooperation: Collaboration between neighboring countries such as Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Turkey will be essential to stop drug smuggling and ensure regional stability. What Will Change After the Revolution? The fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime presents an opportunity to improve security in the region, especially for Jordan. Several positive changes could occur after the revolution: 1. Enhanced border security: With a new Syrian government committed to combating organized crime, security coordination between Jordan and Syria could improve to control the borders. 2. Reduced drug flow: If Captagon factories and smuggling networks are dismantled, this could significantly reduce the flow of drugs into Jordan and Gulf countries. 3. End of militia support: The fall of the regime would end the support Damascus provided to militias involved in drug smuggling. 4. Rebuilding economic ties: With stability in Syria, economic and trade relations between the two countries could resume, easing economic pressures on Jordan. Expected Challenges Despite optimism about eradicating Captagon trade after the regime's fall, there are significant challenges that Jordan and the region may face: 1. Security chaos in Syria: Armed or terrorist groups may exploit the security vacuum in Syria to reorganize drug smuggling networks. 2. Ongoing demand for Captagon: The high demand for this drug in Gulf countries makes it difficult to completely eliminate the trade. 3. Reconstruction challenges: The focus on rebuilding Syria may make combating drug trade a secondary priority for the new government. Jordan's Role in the Next Phase Jordan will play a pivotal role in ensuring regional stability after Assad's regime falls. Jordan's efforts should focus on: 1. Enhancing security cooperation: Working with the new Syrian government and neighboring countries to coordinate anti-drug smuggling efforts. 2. Increasing international support: Seeking international assistance to secure its borders and bolster the capabilities of its security forces. 3. Community awareness: Launching awareness campaigns within Jordan to reduce drug demand and address the effects of addiction. Conclusion The fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime represents a historic opportunity to end the Captagon empire that has harmed Syria and its neighbors, particularly Jordan. Despite the many challenges the region may face during the transitional phase, regional and international cooperation could ensure stability and eradicate the drug trade. The hope remains that nations and their people can overcome crises and build a better future free from wars and organized crime.

DETROIT (AP) — Detroit and Green Bay , longtime rivals and current contenders, will have much at stake when they meet Thursday night in the Motor City. The NFC-leading Lions (11-1) are aiming to stay ahead of Philadelphia (10-2) in the race for the conference's best record and Minnesota (10-2) in the NFC North with a win against the Packers. Detroit can also clinch a spot in the playoffs with an 11th straight victory that would set a franchise record. “We’re in playoff football right now,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said. “This is the type of stuff that you live for and it’s also the type of stuff that gets you ready for the tournament.” Green Bay (9-3) also has a lot to play for because it can pull within a game of the Lions if it can split the season series with a slight upset as 3 1/2-point underdogs, according to BetMGM. “This game is going to be important for us moving forward toward the end of this thing and we’re going to treat it as such,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. Green Bay’s ability to slow down Detroit’s run game might be pivotal. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, the first teammates in league history to run for at least 10 touchdowns in consecutive seasons, have combined to average more than 140 yards on the ground per game. The Packers limited San Francisco's Christian McCaffrey to 31 yards on 11 attempts and held Miami to 39 yards rushing in their past two games. It was the first time since 1995, and just the second time since 1950, that they gave up fewer than 45 yards rushing in two straight weeks. Montgomery ran 17 times for 73 yards and Gibbs had 65 yards rushing and a touchdown on 11 carries last month at Green Bay. “They played Montgomery the whole first half and then the second half they came with Gibbs,” McKinney recalled. “They got a good 1-2 punch.” Home field has not been an advantage in the series lately. The road team has won four straight games, going back to Detroit closing the 2022 regular season and Aaron Rodgers' career with the Packers in a 20-16 win at Lambeau Field. Green Bay has won five straight NFC North road games, including last year at Detroit on Thanksgiving. McKinney and Lions safety Kerby Joseph each have an NFL -high seven interceptions, leading the rest of the league by at least two. Joseph had a pick-6 in the most recent meeting against Green Bay and has picked off four passes in four games against the Packers. “He’s a ballhawk,” Packers quarterback Jordan Love said. “He’s going to make the plays when the ball’s in the air, so he’s definitely a guy you’ve got to know where he’s at.” Lions coach Dan Campbell was taken aback at a news conference recently when a reporter informed him Gibbs had a post on social media showing some of the team's strategy. “I'd rather our stuff not be out there,” Campbell said. Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur feels the same way, though he said it doesn't provide a competitive edge to see another team's terminology on a whiteboard. “Guys understand that nobody wants their information out there for the whole world to see, so we try to keep everything in house here,” LaFleur said. “But I don’t think it’s like the end of the world, either.” Both teams will play a third game in 12 days. “How the whole organization has handled this has been really impressive,” said Packers defensive lineman Lukas Van Ness, who had a sack in each of his past two games. After the game, each team will get a break. The Lions will host the AFC East champion Buffalo Bills on Dec. 15 and Green Bay plays at Seattle later that night.

The delegation included Olivia Toderean, the Romanian Ambassador to Cairo, and Horatiu Horatiu Sebastian Calugar, chief executive of CIS GAS. Yassin Mohamed, managing director of the Egyptian Natural gas Holding Company (EGAS), and other officials also attended the meeting, as well as the ministry's official spokesperson. During the meeting, Minister Badawi emphasised the potential for local manufacturing of equipment and supplies for the petroleum industry. He affirmed the ministry's commitment to providing full support for enhancing this cooperation, aiming to attract further investment from Romanian companies to the Egyptian market. Badawi also highlighted the promising opportunities within Egypt's petroleum sector, particularly in exploration and production, which he noted have seen considerable activity recently. Ambassador Toderean noted that the relationship between Egypt and Romania is based on a long-standing friendship. She highlighted Egypt's numerous promising petroleum projects, which offer opportunities for continued cooperation between the two countries. The ambassador also pointed out that Romanian companies possess significant expertise and advanced technologies applicable to the oil and gas industry. Calugar presented his company's successful projects in Romania and Eastern Europe. He noted the existing cooperation between CIS Gaz and the Egyptian company Town Gas. This collaboration involves manufacturing and assembling gas pressure reduction stations in Egypt using Romanian components. Calugar highlighted that Town Gas has been accredited by the Romanian Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) as a contractor for natural gas connection projects. This makes it the first Egyptian company to work in this field in Europe through its Romanian branch. Calugar expressed a desire for further collaboration with Egyptian firms ENPPI and Petrojet, aiming to implement projects together in Romania. CIS Gaz is also seeking to offer its expertise in exploration and production services within Egypt. In October, Egypt's natural gas distribution company, Town Gas, secured contracts to manufacture and deliver natural gas pressure reduction stations in Egypt and to connect homes and other facilities to the gas grid in Romania. The contracts, signed during the Romanian-Egyptian Joint Committee for Economic Cooperation and the Business Forum in Bucharest, mark the first time an Egyptian company will work in this field in Europe. Mohamed Fathi, Chairperson of Town Gas, and Calugar, chief executive of CIS GAS, signed the agreements.
