Rep. Pat Fallon said the U.S. Secret Service could have fashioned a rudimentary fence made of caution tape, signs, posts and stakes around the AGR building on July 13 for roughly $410. The agency’s decision to unman the outside of the building and exclude it from an overall security perimeter around the Butler Farm Show Grounds that day has drawn much criticism from lawmakers on the task force assembled to investigate both attempts on Trump’s life, the second occurring at a Mar-a-Lago golf course in September. During a heated seven-minute exchange with Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr., the Republican congressman from Texas said the agency’s $2 billion funding increase seemed far in excess of what it would have cost to have functioning drones, more coordinated radio communications, agents on a nearby water tower and security deterrents available in Butler. “What sticks in our craw is when we report to our constituents, we have to say, ‘Hey, this federal agency failed epically, and then they wanted to almost double their budget,’” Fallon said. The conversation devolved into a shouting match after Fallon then accused Rowe of showing up at a 9/11 memorial ceremony in New York City for political purposes only. Rep.

The Centre for Convention on Democratic Integrity (CCDI), has said that the United Nations (UN) deserves commendation for its unwavering commitment against genocide. The group in a statement issued by the Permanent Representative of CCDI to the United Nations, Comrade Olufemi Aduwo, said the United Nations deserves commendation for its unwavering commitment to confronting this heinous crime. In the statement titled: ‘Honouring the Genocide Convention: A Call to Act’, CCDI said: “From establishing international tribunals to adopting the responsibility to protect doctrine, the UN has sought to hold perpetrators accountable and protect vulnerable populations. “Its efforts, though imperfect, have saved countless lives and fostered global awareness of the need to act. Seventy-six years ago, on a momentous Monday in 1948, the world took a stand against one of the gravest crimes imaginable with the adoption of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. “It was a solemn promise, an assurance to humanity that the horrors witnessed during the Second World War would never be repeated. Yet, decades later, the spectre of genocide still looms, casting a long shadow over a fractured world. “The atrocities in Rwanda, Bosnia, and Myanmar are grim reminders that the international community has often fallen short of its pledge. Genocide, a calculated and systematic attempt to destroy entire groups, remains a stain on humanity’s conscience. Division, hatred, and indifference have allowed such tragedies to fester. “The United Nations deserves commendation for its unwavering commitment to confronting this heinous crime. From establishing international tribunals to adopting the responsibility to protect doctrine, the UN has sought to hold perpetrators accountable and protect vulnerable populations. Its efforts, though imperfect, have saved countless lives and fostered global awareness of the need to act.” CCDI, however, said awareness must transform into decisive action, saying the international community must strengthen mechanisms for early warning, empower civil society, and foster unity across nations. “Education must become a tool for building empathy, dismantling prejudice, and promoting tolerance. Leaders must reject the politics of hatred and ensure that justice is served swiftly and without bias. “Genocide is humanity’s failure, but preventing it is humanity’s obligation. Let us honour the Convention by renewing our commitment to a world free from hatred and violence. Only then can we truly say, Never again.”

Hochul legislation to keep senior citizens warm

NEW DELHI: Manmohan Singh, the former Indian prime minister whose economic reforms made his country a global powerhouse, has died at the age of 92, current leader Narendra Modi said Thursday. India “mourns the loss of one of its most distinguished leaders,” Modi posted on social media platform X shortly after news broke of Singh’s passing. “As our Prime Minister, he made extensive efforts to improve people’s lives.” Singh was taken to a hospital in New Delhi after he lost consciousness at his home on Thursday, but could not be resuscitated and was pronounced dead at 9:51 p.m. local time, according to a statement by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences. Singh, who held office from 2004 to 2014, is credited with having overseen an economic boom in Asia’s fourth-largest economy in his first term, although slowing growth in later years marred his second stint. “I have lost a mentor and guide,” opposition Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said in a statement, adding that Singh had “led India with immense wisdom and integrity.” “Millions of us who admired him will remember him with the utmost pride,” said Gandhi, a scion of India’s powerful Nehru-Gandhi dynasty and the most prominent challenger to Modi. Mallikarjun Kharge, leader of the opposition in parliament’s upper house, said “India has lost a visionary statesman, a leader of unimpeachable integrity, and an economist of unparalleled stature.” President Droupadi Murmu wrote on X that Singh will “always be remembered for his service to the nation, his unblemished political life and his utmost humility.” Born in 1932 in the mud-house village of Gah in what is now Pakistan, Singh studied economics to find a way to eradicate poverty in India and never held elected office before taking the vast nation’s top job. He won scholarships to attend both Cambridge, where he obtained a first in economics, and Oxford, where he completed his PhD. Singh worked in a string of senior civil posts, served as a central bank governor and also held various jobs with global agencies including the United Nations. He was tapped in 1991 by then Congress prime minister P.V. Narasimha Rao to reel India back from the worst financial crisis in its modern history. In his first term Singh steered the economy through a period of nine-percent growth, lending India the international clout it had long sought. He also sealed a landmark nuclear deal with the United States that he said would help India meet its growing energy needs. Known as “Mr Clean,” Singh nonetheless saw his image tarnished during his decade-long tenure when a series of corruption cases became public. Several months before the 2014 elections, Singh said he would retire after the polls, with Sonia Gandhi’s son Rahul earmarked to take his place if Congress won. But Congress crashed to its worst-ever result at that time as the Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, led by Modi, won in a landslide. Singh — who said historians would be kinder to him than contemporary detractors — became a vocal critic of Modi’s economic policies, and more recently warned about the risks that rising communal tensions posed to India’s democracy.Struggling Syracuse looks to climb back above .500 when it hosts Albany on Tuesday night. The Orange (4-4) are coming off a conference loss to Notre Dame where they failed to make a 3-pointer in a game for the first time in more than 10 years, going 0-for-9 from behind the arc. They will be without leading scorer J.J. Starling, who broke his hand in practice last Monday. Orange coach Adrian Autry said there was "no timetable" for Starling's return after the loss to the Fighting Irish and lamented his team's struggles with turnovers and free-throw shooting in the defeat. "Too many blown opportunities," Autry said. "We're not shooting the ball well. We have to adjust and go game by game now. Our front court has been pretty secure, but we have to keep working and getting better." Starling was averaging a team-high 19.8 points before his injury. The Orange may need to lean more on freshman Donnie Freeman, who has been a standout for Syracuse this season. He's averaging 12.8 points and 8.8 rebounds and already has four double-doubles. He was co-ACC Rookie of the Week last week. Defensively, the Orange have struggled. They rank No. 329 in scoring defense, giving up 79.4 points per game. Albany is scoring 77.2 ppg so far this season. The Great Danes (6-4) were downed by Boston University 80-74 in overtime on Saturday. They started the season 5-1 but have lost three of their last four. Senior guard Byron Joshua, a transfer from Alcorn State, is the Great Danes' leading scorer at 13.6 ppg. Amar'e Marshall was an All-America East Conference pick last season after averaging 16.7 points, but his field goal shooting has dropped from 43.4 percent last season to 34.5 percent this season. He is scoring 11.7 ppg. "I think we're learning how to compete at the right level," Albany coach Dwyane Killings said after a loss to Georgetown on Nov. 30. "I think the one thing that troubles us a lot is that our identity and our energy comes when the ball goes in the basket. When it doesn't, I don't think we have the grit that we need right now." Albany has been one of the best teams in the country in terms of steals. The Great Danes average 10.2 steals per game, which is tied for No. 12 in the nation. Syracuse is 8-0 against Albany all-time with the teams last meeting in 2011. Syracuse is 4-0 at home and 4-0 against non-power-conference opponents. --Field Level Media

The Cleveland Cavaliers have steamrolled through the first third of their schedule and now face one of their toughest stretches when they open a four-game road trip at the Denver Nuggets on Friday night. The Western Conference swing is the longest road trip of the season so far for Cleveland, which has won five in a row. The Cavaliers are coming off a close win against Utah without forwards Dean Wade (knee) and Isaac Okoro (shoulder). Wade could be back Friday night, but Okoro is expected to miss a couple of weeks with his right shoulder sprain. Without those two available against the Jazz on Monday, the Cavaliers employed a smaller lineup at times but got good production from forward Evan Mobley, who had 22 points and 10 rebounds. The third overall pick of the 2021 NBA Draft, Mobley is averaging a career-best 18.5 points and pulling down nine rebounds a game. He has been a good compliment to guards Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell, who have led the Cavaliers' early success. Mitchell (23.3 points) and Garland (20.4) lead the team in scoring average, and center Jarrett Allen is averaging a double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds), with Mobley adding another layer to a deep team. "We've all said it, for us to be the team we want to be ... Evan had to take that step," Mitchell said recently. "And the best part about it is Jarrett Allen is his biggest cheerleader." Friday is the last of the two games between the teams, and Denver is trying to get even after losing 126-114 on Dec. 5 in Cleveland. Denver star Nikola Jokic recorded a triple-double in the loss, one of his NBA-leading 11 this season. He has 141 triple-doubles in his career, which ranks third all-time behind Nuggets teammate Russell Westbrook (200) and Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson (181). The Nuggets, who have won five of their last seven games, may not have forward Aaron Gordon available against Cleveland after he left Wednesday night's 110-100 loss at Phoenix with a right calf strain. Gordon missed 10 games earlier this season with the same injury. "Hopefully, Aaron is going to be ready to go for Cleveland, but we'll have to wait and see these next 24, 48 hours," Denver coach Michael Malone said. Gordon is fifth on the team in scoring at 13.7 points a game and he is the team's most versatile defender, with the ability to guard every position. If Gordon can't go, most likely Peyton Watson, the team's leading shot blocker (0.9 per game), would get the start. Jokic leads Denver in scoring (30.7 points), rebounding (12.6) and assists (9.4) and is putting together another MVP-worthy campaign. But the Nuggets will need production from Jamal Murray, who is second in scoring at 18.8 points a gain, despite battling injuries. Murray sat out Monday's win over Phoenix with a right ankle sprain and had only 13 points in his return Wednesday. "I'm just trying not to use (injuries) as an excuse. Not mention it," Murray told The Denver Post. "I know I get slack for it, but (I'm) just going out there, and if I'm good enough to play, I play. That's how I look at it." --Field Level Media

Their expectation levels may have been different, but neither Rutgers nor Seton Hall has had the most promising start to the season. New Jersey's two power-conference programs will try to author a signature win when the Pirates visit the Scarlet Knights for the Garden State Hardwood Classic on Saturday afternoon in Piscataway, N.J. Rutgers (6-4) endured a three-game losing streak before picking up its first Big Ten win of the season Tuesday, 80-76 over Penn State. The Scarlet Knights have enjoyed plenty of attention thanks to five-star freshmen Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey, but they've also put a loss to Kennesaw State on their resume. They'll try to assert their dominance over Seton Hall (5-5), which has lost to Fordham, Hofstra and Monmouth while fielding one of the weakest offenses in Division I. At 60.1 points per game, the Pirates rank sixth-to-last in the country, even as they limit opponents to 59.4 points per outing (the No. 11 scoring defense). Rutgers is 5-0 at home after leading by as many as 15 in the Penn State victory. Harper had 24 points, 12 rebounds and five assists and Bailey produced 15 points and 15 rebounds. "They're like a sixth defender for us," Harper said of the fans. "We've been on the road for 20 days so seeing all of our fans, and seeing how loud they were, it meant the world to us." The student section will be especially fired up to see the rival Pirates, which could make free-throw shooting an issue for them. They rank No. 350 in the country at 60.3 percent from the foul line entering Friday. However, Seton Hall pulled out a road win the last time the game was played at Rutgers. In a defensive rock fight in 2022, the Pirates prevailed 45-43. Rutgers got revenge last season at Seton Hall's place, winning 70-63. But most players on both rosters are new and will experience the rivalry game for the first time. "I don't have a Jersey player on my team, right?" Pirates coach Shaheen Holloway told NJ.com . "So I have to get those guys to understand rivalries." Seton Hall will lean on Chaunce Jenkins (11.8 ppg) -- who was limited in the team's 85-76 loss to Oklahoma State on Sunday due to a knee injury, but is cleared to face Rutgers -- and Isaiah Coleman (11.7 ppg), one of three returning players from last year's team. For Rutgers, Harper is excited about the rivalry having grown up in New Jersey and watched his older brother, Ron Harper Jr., play in the game. At 23.4 ppg, Dylan Harper is the third-leading scorer in the country, and he adds 5.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists per contest. Seton Hall leads the all-time series 42-32. --Field Level Media
