ph777 ios AP Business SummaryBrief at 1:35 p.m. ESTWhile Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath attributed the BJP’s victory in 7 out of 9 assembly by-polls to the voters’ faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav termed it a result of the BJP’s misuse of power. CM Yogi once again raised the slogan ‘Batoge to Katoge’ and asked the people to stay united. Addressing a press conference at the BJP state headquarters here on Saturday, alongside state president Bhupendra Chaudhary and Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Maurya and Brijesh Pathak, CM Yogi Adityanath claimed that the credit for winning seven out of nine seats goes to PM Modi. Advertisement “People have unwavering faith in the Prime Minister, and this victory is proof of it. We express our gratitude to the people. This marks the beginning of the end of the politics of loot and lies by SP and INDI alliance,” he said. CM Yogi said Kundarki exemplifies the public’s response to the SP’s baseless claims about the UP by-elections since the day of voting. “The SP wanted to cancel the elections in Sisamau, where they managed to win by only 8,000 votes. In Karhal, they secured victory by only 14,000 votes,” he taunted. The CM reiterated that if we divide we will be divided, if we remain united we will be safe. The people of the country have accepted this. On Kundarki, he said that the victory symbolises nationalism and cultural roots, with gotra embedded in everyone’s mind. Earlier, CM Yogi posted on his social media account ‘X’, stating that the BJP-NDA’s victory in the Uttar Pradesh assembly by-elections reflects the public’s unwavering faith in the leadership and guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This victory signifies the success of the double-engine government’s security, good governance and public welfare policies, along with the tireless efforts of dedicated workers. In his post, the Chief Minister expressed gratitude to the voters of UP, thanking them for supporting good governance and the state’s development. He extended hearty congratulations to all the winning candidates. Reiterating his message, he warned, “If we divide, we will be divided and if we remain united, we will remain safe.” Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav remarked that the tactics of those who have made ‘election’ synonymous with ‘corruption’ have been captured in photographs and exposed to the world during these by-polls. “The people of the country witnessed the most distorted form of electoral politics in this by-election. There may be a time for untruth, but not an era,” he commented. Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the BJP displayed a naked misuse of power during the by-elections. “The democratic rights granted to the people by the Constitution have been snatched away. BJP has crushed the Constitution and democracy, tarnishing them through its disgraceful misuse of power. It shows no regard for local issues and openly abuses its authority out of arrogance. By suppressing the democratic rights of the people to secure power, the BJP has committed an unpardonable crime,” the SP president said in a statement. Advertisement

Jimmy Carter, the longest-lived American president died on Sunday, the accolades flowed in emails from Connecticut lawmakers and elected officials, many of whom knew the former president. Carter, was a peanut farmer who won the presidency in the wake of the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, endured humbling defeat after one tumultuous term and then redefined life after the White House as a global humanitarian, has died. He was 100. He died more than a year after entering hospice care, at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died at 96 in November 2023, spent most of their lives, The Carter Center said. Connecticut Attorney General William Tong said Sunday, “President Carter leaves us just when we need his spirit more than ever. But as an American, and a kid who grew up during his presidency, I am ever grateful that Jimmy Carter showed us the way. A way forward for America that is just and fair, and takes care of each other. “A way for a human being to serve other people as completely and vigorously as he did. I am not sure we’ll ever see another Jimmy Carter in my lifetime. But for our sake, I desperately hope that we do,” Tong said. U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn, said Carter appointed him U.S. Attorney for Connecticut. “Jimmy Carter was a public servant for all seasons—leading by example, passionately and unstintingly, over deeply different and sometimes difficult phases of his life and the nation’s,” Blumenthal said. “The diversity and longevity of his public service is staggering—as a military officer, Governor and President, home builder, health care activist, and much more. He certainly showed that leadership in elected office is only one of many ways to give back to our great nation. He believed fervently in the opportunity and obligation of every single person to make a difference and better the lives of others. I’ll always be grateful for his appointing me as U.S. Attorney for Connecticut, which is how I first came to know him. U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2, said he spoke on the House Floor recounting Carter’s exceptional service, including in the U.S. Navy, and his connection to Connecticut. “America lost a great man today. President Jimmy Carter personified the highest form of public service, not just as Governor and President, but as an ensign in the U.S. Navy who rose to be one of Admiral Hyman G. Rickover’s select officers at the birth of the ‘Nuclear Navy,'” Courtney said. “In 2005, when the Navy sought to close Submarine Base New London, former President Carter stood by ‘Team Connecticut’ in opposition to a plan which would have moved the Base’s fleet to his home state of Georgia. His decision to support ‘Team Connecticut’ in the face of political pressure at home represents the integrity and honor he served with throughout his life. Today, eastern Connecticut maintains our proud role as Submarine Capital of the World thanks to former President Carter. I join the American people in sending my deepest condolences and gratitude to the Carter family for his lifetime of service.” U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes, D-5, said, “Today, our nation mourns the passing of Nobel laureate and former President Jimmy Carter. “During his presidency and in the decades after, President Carter served as an advocate for peace, human rights, and democracy,” she said. “His work with Habitat for Humanity inspired me to introduce my students to service and has helped build strength, stability and self reliance for so many through shelter.” “My thoughts and prayers are with the Carter family during this time and I thank him for his lifetime of service.” U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said, “Few people have modeled what it means to live a life dedicated to the service of others more than President Jimmy Carter. “He led with compassion, humility, and moral clarity even when it came at a political cost. Helping others was his calling, and President Carter didn’t need the White House to change millions of lives. From his work at the Carter Center to volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, he worked every day to build a more just world. “In a 1979 speech, President Carter warned the nation we have two paths to choose from – one toward fragmentation and self-interest and another toward common purpose. It’s a warning that rings true still today. “My heart is with the Carter family as the nation mourns the loss of a giant.” Gov. Ned Lamont said, “President Carter will be remembered in history as one of our nation’s most humble presidents, whose honorable service to the United States began when he enlisted in the Navy and was stationed for several years in Connecticut at Naval Submarine Base New London. “Upon being elected to office as governor of Georgia and continuing throughout his presidency, he championed many of the biggest and most notable causes of the era, including desegregation, human rights, early childhood development programs, prison reform, and more. He has one of the most noteworthy and prominent post-presidency careers of any U.S. president, volunteering his time on the international stage to provide diplomatic and peacekeeping efforts in places such as Israel, Palestine, North Korea, South Africa, and Syria, and maintaining an active level of involvement as an advocate for Habitat for Humanity to promote for the availability of housing for all. “President Carter’s style of leadership set an example that ought to be emulated by public officials nationwide, most notably his self-effacing and kind disposition. He carried himself with grace and integrity, treated others with dignity and respect regardless of whether they were a political ally or foe, and above all worked to implement policies that make our country a more equitable place for all to live and thrive. On behalf of the State of Connecticut, I extend my deepest condolences to the Carter family. Our hearts are with them at this time of mourning, and we thank them for everything they have given to our country.” Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz said, “Jimmy Carter represented the best of us. A man of generosity, patience – and above all, kindness. I had the privilege of witnessing those qualities firsthand when in 1978, President Carter joined Governor Ella Grasso in Hartford to fundraise for her second term. “As a student journalist for my high school newspaper, I met President Carter during that visit. He was very patient and took the time to answer my questions. The following year, his press secretary Jody Powell was kind enough to invite our high school newspaper to attend a presidential press conference at the White House. Experiences like these are what ultimately inspired me to pursue a career in public service, law, and advocacy. “Throughout his presidency, and even after he left office, President Carter was known for committing his time and talents to the service of others. He made democracy and human rights a central focus – consistently focused on peacekeeping and diplomacy efforts. As a former secretary of the state, I always appreciated his work to promote free and fair elections in our country and around the world. Led by his faith to help the less fortunate, President Carter dedicated countless hours to building homes with Habitat for Humanity. “Jimmy Carter was a man from humble beginnings who went on to change the world. He will be remembered for his unwavering commitment to his country, his steadfast belief in democracy, and ultimately his kindness and sacrifice. My heart goes out to his family.” The Associated Press Contributed to this post.

The Liberal candidate in a federal byelection in British Columbia says she is applying for Métis membership after a local group questioned her claims of Indigenous identity. Madison Fleischer says in a written statement that she self-identifies as Métis based on what she knows about her great-grandmother's heritage and is "collecting the necessary documentation to go through the application process" for citizenship with B.C.'s Métis Nation. In the meantime, Fleischer, who is the candidate in the Dec. 16 byelection in Cloverdale-Langley City, says she has removed "Métis" from her social media profile descriptions to ensure there is "no confusion" about her Indigenous status. Her response comes after the Waceya Métis Society — which describes itself as a chartered community representing Métis people in the Langley and White Rock regions of B.C.'s Lower Mainland — said in a release that it "wishes to distance itself from Madison’s claims of Métis identity." The society says it met with Fleischer over the weekend to discuss her claims of Métis identity but was "disappointed that she could not provide any evidence to support her Métis heritage." The attention on Fleischer comes after Edmonton Centre Liberal MP Randy Boissonnault left cabinet last week amid questions about his shifting claims of Indigenous heritage and his business dealings. In her statement, Fleischer says she has "always been vocal about not yet holding Métis Nation British Columbia citizenship." The Waceya Métis Society says it has asked Fleischer to "properly research and verify her Indigenous heritage before making any further public assertions." "In this meeting, Madison was unable to substantiate her claims with any documentation or historical connections to Métis communities," the society says about their Nov. 23 meeting with Fleischer. "The integrity of Métis identity is not to be taken lightly, especially in public office, where the representation of our community must be accurate, respectful, and legitimate." Cloverdale-Langley City was previously held by Liberal John Aldag, who resigned to run for MLA with the B.C. New Democrats. Aldag was defeated by B.C. Conservative candidate Harman Bhangu in the Langley-Abbotsford seat in the Oct. 19 provincial election. Fleischer, whose Liberal party biography calls her a small-business owner who operates a public relations firm in Langley, is going up against candidates including federal Conservative Tamara Jansen, who held the seat from 2019 to 2021 before losing a close race to Aldag.

Steve Harvey Fans Divided on Host's Etiquette Around Wife: 'Men Our Age Know Better'

Join our newsletter to get the latest military space news every Tuesday by veteran defense journalist Sandra Erwin. WASHINGTON — The vice chief of space operations for the U.S. Space Force, Gen. Michael Guetlein, issued a stark warning this weekend about China’s accelerating advances in space technology and its growing capacity to challenge the United States’ dominance in orbit. Speaking Dec. 7 at the Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley, California, Guetlein described the evolving space environment as increasingly hostile, marked by the erosion of longstanding norms and the emergence of new threats to U.S. space assets. “The adversary is quickly shrinking that gap, and we have got to change the way we approach space pretty rapidly,” Guetlein said. “Today that capability gap is in our favor, but if it goes negative on us, it’s going to be a really bad day.” While Guetlein refrained from specifying particular Chinese actions, he painted a picture of a dramatically altered strategic landscape. In the past, there was a tacit “gentleman’s agreement” not to interfere with each other’s space systems, Guetlein said. But today, that restraint has dissolved, giving way to increasingly bold tactics such as jamming GPS signals, spoofing satellite communications, conducting cyberattacks, and deploying unmanned surveillance aircraft. “This new norm of behavior is very unsafe and unprofessional,” Guetlein said, warning that such activities could escalate into major strategic crises if left unchecked. China’s space ambitions have been well-documented in recent years. Its military space program has developed anti-satellite weapons, advanced satellite jammers, and other capabilities designed to disrupt U.S. satellites critical to navigation, communication, and missile defense. Experts say such capabilities could undermine the United States’ ability to project power in a conflict. Guetlein emphasized that addressing the threat will require a fundamental shift in how the United States approaches space operations, especially given the Space Force’s relatively modest budget and size. Key to this strategy, he said, will be closer collaboration with international allies and commercial industry — a break from Cold War-era thinking when the Pentagon was largely self-reliant. “In the past, we didn’t believe we could count on our commercial partners and international partners during times of crisis,” Guetlein said. “That has completely changed.” Central to this new approach is the Space Force’s proposed Commercial Augmentation Space Reserve (CASR) program. Under CASR, private companies would contractually commit to providing satellite services to the military during emergencies, even if it means prioritizing military needs over commercial customers. Guetlein described this as a cost-effective way to ensure access to critical space capabilities during crises. “We’re trying, with very limited resources, to get after an enormous demand signal coming out of our joint force,” he said. However, the program has yet to award contracts, and details about its funding and scope remain unclear. Rep. Rob Wittman (R-Va.), who also spoke at the Reagan Forum, expressed strong support for CASR, emphasizing its importance in leveraging commercial and allied capabilities to maintain a strategic edge. “It shouldn’t just be about satellite services,” Wittman said. “We have to make sure it includes launch vehicles. We have to make sure that our reserve is there to where, if called upon tomorrow, we could respond at the speed of relevance.” Wittman urged the Space Force to ensure the program is comprehensive and prepared to respond to threats swiftly. He said the urgency is compounded by China’s growing willingness to challenge the U.S. in space. Beijing has launched a record number of satellites in recent years and demonstrated technologies like satellite grappling arms and orbital debris removal systems, which could be repurposed as weapons. Guetlein’s warning comes as the Space Force continues to advocate for more funding and resources to address these threats. “We must act now to ensure that the capability gap doesn’t shrink to zero — or worse, go negative,” Guetlein said.How to Watch Top 25 Women’s College Basketball Games – Monday, December 30 Published 8:28 pm Sunday, December 29, 2024 By Data Skrive The Alcorn State Braves and the Ole Miss Rebels hit the court for the only game on the college basketball schedule on Monday that feature a ranked team.

Drake eases by Stetson 49-10 to secure a second straight outright Pioneer Football League titleLOS ANGELES (AP) — Kendrick Lamar gave music listeners an early holiday present Friday with the surprise drop of a new album. The Grammy winner's 12-track “GNX” is his first release since 2022's “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers” and his sixth studio album overall. It also comes just months after his rap battle with Drake. Lamar first teased the album with a cover art and video snippet of “GNX,” which features multi-instrumentalist Jack Antonoff as a co-producer on every track except for “Peekaboo.” Other notable producers include Sounwave and DJ Mustard , who both contributed production on the hit “Not Like Us,” the ubiquitous diss track emanating from the Drake feud. Lamar's former Top Dawg Entertainment labelmate SZA appears on a couple songs including “Gloria” and “Luther,” which also features sampled vocals from Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn through “If This World Were Mine." On the opening track “Wacced Out Murals,” Lamar raps about cruising in his Buick GNX (Grand National Experimental) car with listening to Anita Baker. He brings up Snoop Dogg posting Drake's AI-assisted “Taylor Made Freestyle” diss track on social media and Nas congratulating Lamar for being selected to headline February's Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans. Lamar also shows admiration for Lil Wayne, who expressed his hurt feelings after being passed over as the headliner in his hometown. Lamar, 37, has experienced massive success since his debut album “good kid, m.A.A.d city” in 2012. Since then, he’s accumulated 17 Grammy wins and became the first non-classical, non-jazz musician to win a Pulitzer Prize for his 2017 album “DAMN.” The surprise release caps a big year for Lamar, who was featured on the song “Like That” with Future and Metro Boomin — a track that spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this year. Lamar is up for seven Grammys, fueled by “Not Like Us,” which earned nods for record and song of the year, rap song, music video as well as best rap performance. He has two simultaneous entries in the latter category, a career first: “Like That” is up for best rap performance and best rap song, too. 1. “Wacced Out Murals” 2. “Squabble Up” 3. “Luther” (feat. SZA) 4. “Man at the Garden” 5. “Hey Now” 6. “Reincarnated” 7. “TV Off” 8. “Dodger Blue” 9. “Peekaboo” 10. “Heart Pt. 6” 11. “GNX” 12. “Gloria” (feat.
