jili super ace tricks Qatar tribune A federal appeals court on Friday upheld a controversial law banning the US operations of TikTok — the massively popular video-based social networking app owned by Chinese company ByteDance — unless it finds a US buyer. That gives the company just six weeks to keep fighting before the ax falls. We have our issues with TikTok, but we won’t be cheering that outcome. This impacts a lot of Americans, as there are 170 million US users, about half the total population of the country and more than the combined numbers who voted for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. The most dangerous aspect of TikTok, a potential Chinese state weaponization, is speculative. Lawmakers and the Department of Justice are arguing that the platform could be compelled to share data on users with authorities in Beijing, or used to gather information on potential spies or any number of other schemes running the gamut from plausible to Tom Clancy novel. Yet there’s no public hard evidence that any of this has actually happened or even been attempted; we specific “public” because these officials have insisted that there is secret evidence to suggest that these are real and present threats, and are acting on that secret evidence. We understand that there are sensitive techniques and information that must be classified for reasons of national security and safety — a principle, by the way, that the incoming president does not himself seem to grasp, and is skirting consequences for violating— but this isn’t how we should be doing things in this country. Effectively banning the operation of an entire company based on secret evidence that our political leaders simply assure us exists is not really in keeping with our principles of due process and transparency. We present no defense of TikTok, which previously has been caught censoring views that Beijing doesn’t like, and it is undoubtedly designed to be addictive and appeal in particular to kids and teens, who can get sucked into the endless scroll. It has been used to push harmful content and misinformation around things like eating disorders and vaccines, and its sheer breadth and reach make this information often spread before it can be moderated. If you’re thinking that could just as well be true of Meta and its Facebook and Instagram platforms, or Alphabet with YouTube, then you can see what we’re driving at. But what makes TikTok different is that those parents aren’t foreign owned, and owned by an unfriendly country. There are plenty of things to be concerned about with TikTok, just as there are plenty of things to regulate around all of these social media companies. At least these are at least attempting some kind of even-handed moderation, unlike the platform formerly known as Twitter, which has become the cesspool of X under Elon Musk’s ownership. Moving to completely ban TikTok on what seem like thin and largely speculative national security grounds is a red herring drawing attention away from the fact that all these social media platforms have been allowed to run roughshod over our social and political fabric with a very light touch from regulators. We’d all be better served dropping this effort and taking aim at the broader system. Copy 13/12/2024 10

On Football analyzes the biggest topics in the NFL from week to week. For more On Football analysis, head here . Saquon Barkley has become the Shohei Ohtani of the NFL. There’s no better home run hitter playing football right now. Barkley had touchdown runs of 72 and 70 yards for the Philadelphia Eagles in a 37-20 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. He now has five runs of 50-plus yards this season and is on pace to break Eric Dickerson’s single-season record of 2,105 yards set in 1984. Barkley’s historic performance against the Rams — his 255 yards set a team record — captivated a national audience and turned him into a fan favorite for the AP NFL MVP award. He’s not the betting favorite, however. Josh Allen has the best odds at plus-150, according to Bet MGM Sportsbook. Two-time MVP Lamar Jackson is next at plus-250 followed by Barkley at plus-400. Running backs have won the award 18 times, including three-time winner Jim Brown, who was the AP’s first NFL MVP in 1957. Quarterbacks have dominated the award, winning it 45 times. Only three players who weren’t QBs or RBs have been MVP. It takes a special season for a non-QB to win it mainly because the offense goes through the signal caller. Quarterbacks handle the ball every offensive snap, run the show and get the credit when things go well and the blame when it doesn’t. Adrian Peterson was the most recent non-QB to win it when he ran for 2,097 yards and 12 touchdowns for the Minnesota Vikings in 2012. Playing for a winning team matters, too. Nine of the past 11 winners played for a No. 1 seed with the other two winners on a No. 2 seed. The Vikings earned the sixth seed when Pederson was MVP. Barkley is a major reason why the Eagles (9-2) are leading the NFC East and only trail Detroit (10-1) by one game for the top spot in the conference. Does he have a realistic chance to win the MVP award? Kicker Mark Moseley was the MVP in the strike-shortened 1982 season when he made 20 of 21 field goals and 16 of 19 extra points in nine games for Washington. If voters once selected a kicker, everyone has a chance, especially a game-changer such as Barkley. Defensive tackle Alan Page was the MVP in 1971 and linebacker Lawrence Taylor won it in 1986. Running back Christian McCaffrey finished third in voting last year and wide receiver Justin Jefferson placed fifth in 2022. The Offensive Player of the Year award and Defensive Player of the Year award recognize the best all-around players on both sides of the ball, allowing voters to recognize non-QBs if they choose. Wide receivers and running backs have won the AP OPOY award seven times over the past 11 seasons. McCaffrey was the 2023 winner. The AP’s new voting format introduced in 2022 also gives non-QBs a better opportunity to get MVP recognition. Voter submit their top five picks for each award, with a weighted point system. Previously, voters made one choice for each award. A nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league vote for MVP and seven other awards. The awards are based on regular-season performance. The Chiefs (10-1) and Bills (9-2) already are in position to lock up postseason berths right after Thanksgiving. Kansas City clinches a playoff berth with a win over Las Vegas on Black Friday and a loss by Miami on Thursday night, or a win plus a loss by Denver on Monday night. Buffalo can wrap up a fifth straight AFC East title with a victory over San Francisco on Sunday and a loss by the Dolphins. It’s not a given that the Dallas Cowboys will be looking for a new head coach after this season. Owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday on local radio that Mike McCarthy could end up getting a contract extension. “I don’t think that’s crazy at all. This is a Super Bowl-winning coach. Mike McCarthy has been there and done that. He has great ideas. We got a lot of football left,” Jones said. McCarthy led the Cowboys (4-7) to three straight 12-win seasons, but they went 1-3 in the playoffs and haven’t reached the NFC championship game since winning the Super Bowl 29 years ago. Injuries have contributed to the team’s struggles this season, but Dallas was just 3-5 before Dak Prescott was lost for the rest of the season. The Cowboys upset Washington last week and their next four games are against teams that currently have losing records. If they somehow end up 9-8 or even 8-9, Jones could make a case for keeping McCarthy. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflBiden's broken promise on pardoning his son Hunter is raising new questions about his legacy WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s decision to go back on his word and pardon his son Hunter wasn't all that surprising to those who are familiar with the president's devotion to his family. But by choosing to put his family first, the 82-year-old president has raised new questions about his legacy. Biden has held himself up as placing his respect for the American judicial system and rule of law over his own personal concerns. It was part of an effort to draw a deliberate contrast with Republican Donald Trump. Now, both his broken promise and his act of clemency are a political lightning rod. Some Democrats are frustrated over Joe Biden reversing course and pardoning his son Hunter ATLANTA (AP) — Already reeling from their November defeat at the polls, Democrats now are grappling with President Joe Biden's pardoning of his son for a federal felony conviction — after the party spent years slamming Donald Trump as a threat to democracy who operates above the law. The White House on Monday struggled to defend the pardon, claiming the prosecution was politically motivated — a page out of Trump's playbook. That explanation did not satisfy some Democrats who are angry that Biden’s reversal could make it harder to take on Trump. Hezbollah fires into Israel-held area after multiple Israeli strikes in Lebanon since truce began JERUSALEM (AP) — Hezbollah fired into a disputed border zone held by Israel after multiple Israeli strikes inside Lebanon since a ceasefire took hold last week. The militant group said the volley, its first during the truce, was a warning shot in response to what it called repeated Israeli violations. Israeli leaders threatened to retaliate, further straining the fragile U.S.- and French-brokered ceasefire. Israeli strikes in recent days, including a string of hits on Monday, have killed at least four people in Lebanon. U.S. officials said the ceasefire was largely holding. Key players in Syria's long-running civil war, reignited by a shock rebel offensive BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s civil war has exploded back onto the world stage after insurgents poured out of their main bastion in northwestern Syria and seized large parts of nearby Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, and dozens of nearby towns and villages.. The insurgents offensive triggered the heaviest clashes in the country since a March 2020 cease-fire brokered by Turkey and Russia, who back rival sides in the conflict. Five countries have military presence in Syria including the U.S. that has troops deployed in the country’s east, Turkey that controls parts of northern Syria, Israel that has presence in the Golan Heights and Russia and Iran that have been a main backer of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Woman driving drunk who killed bride still in her wedding dress sentenced to 25 years in prison A woman who admitted to drinking and who was driving well over twice the speed limit when she smashed into a golf cart killing a bride who had just got married at a South Carolina beach has been sentenced to 25 years in prison. Jamie Lee Komoroski pleaded guilty Monday to reckless homicide and three felony driving under the influence charges. Police said the 27-year-old drank at several bars on April 28, 2023, and was driving 65 mph on a narrow Folly Beach road when she slammed into a golf cart leaving a wedding. The bride, 34-year-old Samantha Miller, died still wearing her wedding dress. Florida woman sentenced to life for zipping boyfriend into suitcase, suffocating him A 47-year-oldFlorida woman has been sentenced to life in prison for zipping her boyfriend into a suitcase and leaving him to die of suffocation amid a history of domestic and alcohol abuse. Circuit Judge Michael Kraynick imposed the sentence Monday in Orlando on Sarah Boone for the 2020 killing of 42-year-old Jorge Torres. A jury deliberated only 90 minutes Oct. 25 before convicting Boone of the second-degree murder of Jorge Torres after a 10-day trial. Boone had insisted she was herself a victim of domestic violence at the hands of Torres and had pleaded not guilty. Great Lakes region gets yet more snow after a weekend of snarled Thanksgiving travel Some storm-weary residents of the Great Lakes region saw additional snow and faced the prospect of even more accumulations this week. Lake-effect snow continued to fall on parts of western New York that were already blanketed with a foot or more over the past four days. Lake-effect snow warnings were in effect through Tuesday night in parts of Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania. Snow showers fell in western Michigan overnight, and heavier, persistent snow of up to a foot was expected to follow Monday. Stock market today: Rising tech stocks pull Wall Street to another record NEW YORK (AP) — Technology stocks pulled Wall Street to another record amid mixed trading. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% Monday after closing November at an all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 1%. Super Micro Computer, a stock that’s been on an AI-driven roller coaster, soared after saying an investigation found no evidence of misconduct by its management or the company’s board. Retailers were mixed coming off Black Friday and heading into what’s expected to be the best Cyber Monday on record. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. Cyber Monday shoppers expected to set a record on the year's biggest day for online shopping Consumers in the U.S. are scouring the internet for online deals as they look to make the most of the post-Thanksgiving shopping marathon on Cyber Monday. The National Retail Federation coined the term for the Monday after Black Friday in 2005. Even though e-commerce is now part and parcel of many people’s regular routine, Cyber Monday continues to be the biggest online shopping day of the year, thanks to steady discounts and a fair amount of hype. Several major retails actually started their Cyber Monday promotions over the weekend. Consumer spending for the online shopping days between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday provides an indication of how much shoppers are willing to spend for the holidays.

onald Trump’s success with men—especially —has caused handwringing among Democrats. Some have charged that the party has abandoned male interests, or even taken to treating men derisively, with disastrous consequences. According to John Della Volpe, director of polling at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, these men are not radicals or incels. “They are your sons, or they’re your neighbor’s sons,” he the BBC in late October. “Many support equality for women, but they also feel their own concerns go unheard.” This critique is a continuation of a narrative that developed during the campaign. Commentators asserted that men’s , disillusionment, , , and by Democrats were driving them toward Trump, the GOP, and an almost caricatured embodied by pro-wrestler Hulk Hogan and UFC’s Dana White. Yet, while there is evidence to support some of these claims, it’s necessary to trace the discussion about marginalized men back to its roots: the men’s rights movement. For over 60 years, its activists have argued that men have drawn the short end of the stick, thanks in large part to what they characterize as feminist movements that purport to fight for gender equality but instead actually prioritize women over men. Understanding the links between the men’s rights movement and the current fixation on disillusioned young men is critical because men’s rights activists have used many of these claims to advance a political agenda that attempts to hold girls and women back. The men’s rights movement began spreading across the country in the early 1960s in response to what activists saw as a “divorce racket” that fleeced men and coddled women. Their complaints ignored the reality of divorce at the time: the restrictive limited access to divorce, and structural inequalities like unequal pay and pink-collar professions made it impossible for women to support themselves (and their children) after their marriages ended. Nonetheless, men’s rights activists bemoaned how family courts awarded women alimony at the expense of their ex-husbands, as well as usually granting them custody of children (and with it, child support payments) thanks to a decades-old that mothers were the more nurturing parents, particularly for younger children. This anger spawned men’s rights groups like the pertinently named Divorce Racket Busters, founded in 1960 in Sacramento, and the American $ociety of Divorced Men—pointedly using the dollar sign in its name to emphasize men’s perceived financial exploitation. These organizations to fight against divorce laws and provide emotional support for men, as well as connecting them with sympathetic attorneys willing to fight for the “male interest” in court. Much like the practice of consciousness-raising occurring in feminist circles during the same years, early men’s rights organizations offered social connection and a sense of political purpose to their members. Through these gatherings a broader argument began cohering: men faced systematic and fundamental discrimination in a changing world. This belief enabled aggrieved men to see themselves as a class and a constituency for the first time. While some of them yearned to turn back the clock, most men’s rights activists wanted to advance a new gender order—one that borrowed selectively from the burgeoning second-wave women’s liberation movement. If women wanted true equality, these men believed, including the right to leave their marriages, work in male-dominated industries, and earn equal pay, then they should also stand on their own two feet at the end of marriages. Some in the men’s rights movement claimed that just as women suffered from caricatured ideas about femininity and sexuality, so too did people mistreat and objectify men because of outdated conceptions of masculinity. For every female “sex object” diminished because of stereotypes, there was a male expected to excel at work, stifle his emotions, and financially support his wife and children. Feminist reforms that prioritized girls and women, such activists argued, ignored the plight of modern men. Figures like Farrell did admit that a power imbalance existed between men and women, and that misogyny had enduring and deleterious effects. Yet they claimed that women discriminated against men just as much as men oppressed women—and worse, that this “misandrist” mistreatment was normalized by family courts and the wider culture. Perhaps surprisingly, during the 1970s, these activists become enthusiastic promoters of the (ERA), which prohibited denying “Equality of rights under the law...on account of sex.” Second-wave feminists fought hard for the ERA, viewing it as a legal shortcut for achieving women’s equality. Men’s rights activists had similar ideas—except they wanted to level the playing field for what they saw as marginalized men. In their view, the ERA would abolish alimony and men’s disproportionate child support payments. Perhaps most importantly, men’s rights activists believed something primarily promoted by ERA opponents like Phyllis Schlafly: that the amendment would to serve in the military, a hypothetical and alarmist position given that the draft had in 1973. Unlike Schlafly, however, men’s rights activists cheered this possibility. They argued that the all-male draft had been an unfair outrage perpetuated on men—one so grievous that men’s rights leader Fred Hayward equated it with rape in 1981. As the feminist movement made gains, men’s rights activists began asserting that the political spotlight on violence against women was leading to false accusations of workplace sexual harassment, sexual assault, and domestic violence—something they hoped the ERA would correct. They argued that these claims ruined the lives of individual men and vilified masculinity as violent and predatory. They imagined that the ERA’s passage would lead to equal punishments for male and female “wrongdoers” in the workplace. Such wrongdoing, they believed, should not only account for male sexual harassment and assault, but also punish women for displaying “sexuality through application of makeup, mode of dress, and exposure of sexually alluring body parts.” Even after the ERA ratification deadline expired in 1982, some men’s rights activists kept hope alive, attempting to resuscitate it—paralleling the efforts among some Most men’s rights activists, however, turned their attention to laws at the state and local level during the 1980s and 1990s, along with academic understandings of gender violence. Increasingly, they falsely claimed that men, not women, were the primary victims of domestic violence. With the support of sociologists and , activists inaccurately that politicizing “battered wives” distracted from the problem of “family violence” that included a high proportion of . More broadly, men’s rights activists began pointing to a long list of poor outcomes affecting boys and men as proof that men were the ones being discriminated against. The claims spanned from lower rates of attainment in higher education and white-collar professions to higher proportions of mental health struggles and “deaths of despair,” including suicides and drug overdoses. Most of these efforts received scant attention and men’s rights activists achieved relatively little well into the 21st century. Yet, the era of social media and podcasts has expanded their reach in ways their forbears could only have dreamed of. They’ve also latched onto Trump as a defender of men’s rights, while cheering the misogynistic mockery of his two female opponents: Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Kamala Harris in 2024. The result is that the central premise of the men’s rights movement—that boys and men are being left behind—has gone mainstream. The movement’s longer history has largely escaped notice, but it provides crucial context for the burgeoning debate about whether poor outcomes and private struggles are changing the politics of young men. Men’s rights activists have long made many similar claims—and they’ve used them to push dangerous and radical “solutions,” which would harm girls and women in the name of fairness to men. For example, men’s rights activists have argued for abolishing the Violence Against Women Act, which they claim discriminates against male victims. They’ve gone so far as to sue state services to help female victims in , , Maine, and , efforts that drain already-overburdened agencies of their limited time and resources. Some men’s rights activists have even pushed for men having an equal say in cases of and adoption, which would give them control over women’s bodies. Some longtime men’s rights fantasies about —without reinstating men’s historic alimony obligations—have even made their way into conservative in red states like Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. Understanding this history is the key to enabling Democrats and the media to address the alienation of young men and their drift rightward without unwittingly empowering this movement—one that wants to restore “men’s rights” to unearned legal privileges, unfair economic and educational advantages, and, quite literally, to women’s bodies. .

As President Joe Biden's term comes to an end, social media users are falsely claiming that his administration spent billions of dollars on the construction of just a handful of electric vehicle charging stations. Multiple high-profile figures, including sitting members of Congress, have promoted the claims. The claims misrepresent funding set aside by the 2021 Infrastructure and Jobs Act , also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, for a national network of publicly available electric vehicle chargers . Biden has set a goal of creating 500,000 such chargers by 2030. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.
