Girl fighting for life after being hit by car in Melbourne's north
Donald Trump's top issue next year is fixing immigration, and an MSNBC political panel thinks he set up his supporters for an internal civil war over it. Speaking to Ayman Mohyeldin, who is filling in for Nicolle Wallace, Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson said Trump has spent the past decade blaming immigrants for all that ails them. Meanwhile, Trump has welcomed the billionaire class , in stark contrast to the MAGA ideology. It presented itself in a very public fight between MAGA darling Laura Loomer and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has been on Trump's side for the past several months. Musk's Tesla company is the third largest user of H-1B visas, which allow immigrants to work in the United States. ALSO READ: How billionaires were buying the presidency for Trump This week, Musk and his ally Vivek Ramaswamy have expressed support for prioritizing skilled immigrants over American workers in online discussions. Musk even agreed with a user's controversial comment on his platform, which suggested — using offensive language — that Americans might lack the qualifications for certain skilled jobs. Ramaswamy went so far as to claim that Americans are lazy and care more about watching "Friends" and going to the mall. He complained Thursday that American culture prizes jocks over nerds in a world he said was run by the latter. Mohyeldin said everyone saw the clash coming, but it happened quickly. "It is an inevitability the non-college educated base, which is the majority, were always going to be preconditioned to believe that the word immigrant or visa means brown people bad," Wilson said. Many MAGA supporters believe they could have been millionaires working as software designers at Google if it weren't for immigrants or DEI, he said. "You see this conflict. It's going to be the hyper-populists," Wilson continued. "They don't care about the more sophisticated arguments about the visas. They care, brown people bad. That's the driving conditioning they have had from Fox for years." Writer and commentator Molly Jong-Fast agreed, saying Musk invested over $200 million in electing Trump and thought he'd gain something from it. "I think he thought, as a lot of billionaires thought , it would be transactional, and they could give him money and get what they wanted," she explained. "What they want is skilled workers for their companies." Skilled American labor crushed under the weight of college debt won't work for the bottom-dollar salaries in jobs that require more than 40 hours a week. "Donald Trump has a problem," Jong-Fast continued. "He has a base that has elected him on 'mass deportation now.' They had it on signs. Then he has billionaires who paid for this campaign and who want workers. I think this is going to come to a head pretty quickly."

Issues Sri Lanka should take up with New DelhiEmbiid scores 31 in triumphant NBA return for 76ersIt's rivalry week in college football and some of the participants are willing to bleed for their respective teams, literally. Senior defensive assistant coach Chuck Cecil of the Arizona Wildcats is the current leader in the clubhouse in terms of blood shed for his squad on Saturday, Nov. 30, after a perplexing interaction with one of his players on the sideline. Cecil, who played defensive back for the university between 1984-87, was so pumped up before the game that he headbutted current Wildcats defensive back Owen Gross several times before the game. In a video captured by Fox Sports and posted to social media, Cecil can be seen banging his bare forehead into Gross's helmet until he begins to bleed profusely. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Arizona allowed rival Arizona State to score 35 points in the first half of the in-state rivalry game, which led to some jokes made at Cecil's expense. If I made myself bleed by repeatedly mashing my head into a helmet and my defense proceeded to give up 35 in the first half I’m not sure I’m on the sideline for the second half https://t.co/EdNk6olDNj "If I made myself bleed by repeatedly mashing my head into a helmet and my defense proceeded to give up 35 in the first half, I'm not sure I'm on the sideline for the second half," Brad Spielberger, formerly of Pro Football Focus, posted to X . The Wildcats entered the contest 4-7 on the season and won't play in a bowl game this year. What was left for Arizona was to play spoiler to the 9-2 Sun Devils, who have a chance to make the 12-team field for the College Football Playoffs , though an upset doesn't appear likely now after a 35-0 first half score.

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli troops stormed one of the last hospitals operating in northern Gaza on Frida y, forcing many staff and patients outside to strip in winter weather, the ter ritory’s health ministry said. The army denied claims it had entered or set fire to the complex and accused Hamas of using the facility for cover. Kamal Adwan Hospital has been hit multiple times over the past three months by Israe li troops waging an offensive against Hamas fighters in surrounding neighborhoods, according to staff. The ministry said a strike on the hospital a day earlier killed five medical staff. Israel’s military said it was conducting operations against Hamas infrastructure and militants in the area and had ordered people out of the hospital, but said it had not entered the complex as of Friday night. It repeated claims that Hamas mil itants operate inside Kamal Adwan but prov ided no evidence. Hospital officials have denied that. The Health Ministry said troops forced medical personnel and patients to assemble in the yard and remove their clothes. Some were led to an unknown location, while some patients were sent to the nearby Indonesian Hospital, which was knocked out of operation after an Israel raid this week. Israeli troops during raids frequently carry out mass detentions, stripping men to their underwear for questioning in what the military says is a security measure as they search for Hamas fighters. The Associated Press doesn’t have access to Kamal Adwan, but armed plainclothes members of the Hamas-led police forces have been seen in other hospitals, maintaining security but also controlling access to parts of the facilities. The Health Ministry said Israeli troops also set fires in several parts of Kamal Adwan, including the lab and surgery department. It said 25 patients and 60 health workers remained in the hospital. The account could not be independently confirmed, and attempts to reach hospital staff were unsuccessful. “Fire is ablaze everywhere in the hospital,” an unidentified staff member said in an audio message posted on social media accounts of hospital director Hossam Abu Safiya. The staffer said some evacuated patients had been unhooked from oxygen. Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, an Israeli military spokesman, denied the accusations. “While IDF troops were not in the hospital, a small fire broke out in an empty building inside the hospital that is under control,” he said Friday night. He said a preliminary investigation found “no connection” between military activity and the fire. The Israeli military heavily restricts the movements of Palestinians in Gaza and has barred foreign journalists from entering the territory throughout the war, making it difficult to verify information. “These actions put the lives of all of these people in even more danger than what they faced before,” U.N. spokesperson Stephanie Tremblay told journalists, and noted colleagues’ reports of “significant damage” to the hospital. It should be protected as international law requires, she added.Buggs' 15 lead East Tennessee State over Austin Peay 79-57
