As President-elect Donald Trump promises to take immediate action on a number of fronts once he returns to the White House, he and House Speaker Mike Johnson will continue their talks about the upcoming agenda Saturday at the Army-Navy Game in Landover. The Republican congressional leader, whose son is a plebe at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, is a key Trump ally expected to help push the president’s plans through Congress. “American families are ready to see an American First agenda and we’re excited about that,” Johnson said at a news conference Tuesday. “You hear a lot of talk about the agenda and how it will be formulated and come together right out of the gates in early January. We’re working on that right now. In fact, House Republicans are already working to enact that agenda.” The football game could be one of a few Maryland-based conversations for how that agenda comes together. While the lawmakers have not officially announced other meetings, House GOP leaders are expected to meet for a daylong retreat in the days after Congress begins its next session Jan. 3 — a retreat that is likely to be in Baltimore, the political news organization Punchbowl News reported. Johnson said he and Trump would be talking “in-depth” about their “playbook” this weekend. The top priority, he said, is curtailing the flow of undocumented immigrants at the southern border and tax reform, both of which could be addressed early in 2025. Some of the work is already underway, he noted, began last week with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy visiting with House and Senate Republicans about their plans to significantly cut the federal budget. Trump has named the two wealthy businessmen to run a new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Trump also attended the storied Army-Navy Game as president-elect in 2016, when the 71,600-person crowd greeted him with chants of “USA, USA.” Johnson said Tuesday some of his son’s Naval Academy classmates had recently visited the Capitol. “I guess I got to say ‘Go Navy,’ because my son’s there,” Johnson said. “But President Trump is coming to the game and others, and we’ll all be there together. It’ll be a lot of fun.” Have a news tip? Contact Sam Janesch at sjanesch@baltsun.com , (443) 790-1734 and on X as @samjanesch .

Amid a rocky start to the season, Villanova coach Kyle Neptune saw his team's defense strengthen during Tuesday's 93-49 home win over Pennsylvania. "I thought we were way more cohesive than we've been," Neptune said. "Guys were together, they were talking. I thought our switches were better." The improved chemistry comes at a critical time for the Wildcats (3-3), who face a high-powered Maryland squad at the Empire Classic on Sunday afternoon in Newark, N.J. Villanova stymied the Quakers to 26.9 percent shooting from the field and allowed its fewest points in a game this season. That came after the Wildcats let Virginia hit 14 of 25 3-pointers (56 percent) in the Cavaliers' 70-60 win on Nov. 15 in Baltimore. Neptune's squad also enjoyed a strong game on Tuesday from Tyler Perkins, who tallied 12 points, nine rebounds and three steals in a spot start. The Penn transfer has averaged 8.3 points across six games (two starts), but Neptune said the guard's impact extends beyond the box score. "(He's) the ultimate competitor," Neptune said. "From the first second he got on campus, he's set the tone. No matter what team he's on, you know he's gonna bring it." Tuesday's 44-point margin was Villanova's most lopsided win this season, but the Terrapins (4-1) were even more dominant in their game Tuesday by blasting visiting Canisius by 71 points. All four of Maryland's victories have come by at least 30. Like the Wildcats, the Terrapins benefitted from a lineup change in their last game. Coach Kevin Willard moved DeShawn Harris-Smith to the bench in favor of fellow guard Rodney Rice, who delivered 13 points and made three 3-pointers as Maryland rolled to a 108-37 win. Rice has hit 12 of 27 from 3-point range this season to complement the post production of big men Derik Queen (15.0 points per game) and Julian Reese (12.2), a dynamic that has made the Terrapins tough to defend. "I think we're able to space the floor out a little bit better (with Rice)," Willard told Maryland's student newspaper. "You have three (guards) who are ready to pull the trigger." Backcourt mates Ja'Kobi Gillespie (11-for-28) and Selton Miguel (5-for-20) are the Terrapins' three most frequent 3-point shooters along with Rice. --Field Level Media REUTERSHail Flutie: BC celebrates 40th anniversary of Miracle in Miami

Wintrust Financial Co. (NASDAQ:WTFC) Shares Purchased by Natixis Advisors LLCAlex Enumah in Abuja A financial expert, Dr. Kingsley Chibuzor has warned against the approval of cryptocurrency in Nigeria, stressing that its usage would contravene Nigeria’s existing financial regulations. This was just as he declared support for the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN’s) decision to prioritise the eNaira over decentralised cryptocurrencies. Aguoru, who is an expert in technology and digital security with extensive experience in financial systems, including the development of the 3WiDentity authentication system, emphasised that the eNaira offers a safer and more reliable digital currency option for Nigerians. Speaking with journalists in Abuja, Aguoru noted that unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies are not backed by any government authority, which introduces unique financial risks. He said that the eNaira, by contrast, is backed and regulated by the CBN, and provides Nigerians with a digital currency that aligns with national financial standards and ensures stability. “The eNaira functions as a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), which provides Nigerians with the benefits of digital payments while adhering to regulatory frameworks. Its value is pegged to the naira, making it a stable and secure means of transaction,” Aguoru explained. According to him, cryptocurrencies, though innovative, exhibit high volatility and unpredictable value swings, adding that Bitcoin and other decentralised currencies have demonstrated price fluctuations that limit their effectiveness as a reliable store of value. While highlighting critical challenges in using cryptocurrencies as a standard currency, he argued that effective currency must function as a store of value, a unit of account, and a medium of exchange. “In order for a currency to fulfil these functions, it must have a stable value, consistent pricing metrics, and facilitate efficient transactions. Cryptocurrencies struggle to meet these standards,” Dr. Aguoru stated However, Aguoru acknowledged that one significant reason why many Nigerians are turning to cryptocurrencies is the perception of the Nigerian naira as an isolated currency, observing that at present, it is challenging for Nigerians to move funds directly from naira to other currencies and across borders, with many encountering difficulties in making transactions to Europe, the Americas, or even other African countries. He noted that this restriction, while protecting Nigeria from some sophisticated international fraud schemes, also limits financial flexibility and ease of cross-border transactions. Aguoru is a UK Chartered Engineer, certified European Engineer by FEANI, and an expert in Information Security with a keen focus on security of financial services and payment systems. Having both a BSc Business Computing from Teesside University UK, Master of Science in Information Security from University of Liverpool, and Doctor of Information Security from the University of East London. With over 20 years of experience in software engineering and cybersecurity, Aguoru has become an advocate for strengthening Nigeria’s financial regulatory infrastructure. Recently, he submitted a petition to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), highlighting the need for an independent regulatory body to supervise Nigeria’s financial market infrastructure and payment systems.

UN General Assembly calls for 'unconditional' Gaza ceasefireVincenzo Italiano was ‘very happy’ with the Bologna performance to earn a point away to high-flying Benfica, when they edged possession. ‘We now have a clear identity.’ The Rossoblu knew their chances of extending the Champions League campaign beyond January were slim, but they put in a strong performance at the Estadio da Luz This was only their second point in six games, the other being another 0-0 in the opening fixture against Shakhtar Donetsk, and again goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski deserved much of the credit for his heroics. “I am happy with what the lads did tonight. It was difficult, arriving here in our current form against a team that regularly wins and scores lots of goals, we deserve credit for causing them so many problems,” “We actually hoped for more than a point, but the performance – especially in the first half – was of a high level. They raised the tempo after the break, were more aggressive, but we still got a handle on them and could’ve done more in our attacking situations with two on two and three on three.” Bologna actually dominated possession in the first half in Lisbon and eventually just sneaked it overall with 51 per cent, also completing 363 passes to 340. The problem for Italiano’s side is always the same, that they struggle badly to convert their possession and chances into goals. “Dallinga had a similar situation in the most recent game and put it in the corner, he had an identical chance today and should’ve done more. “We had several situations where we got the finish or the last pass wrong. We created chances, caused huge problems for a great side like Benfica.” It was particularly impressive considering the number of injuries that Italiano had to deal with, missing Riccardo Orsolini, Charalampos Lykogiannis, Juan Miranda, Michel Aebischer, Oussama El Azzouzi and Niccolò Cambiaghi. “I saw players who hadn’t done as much and really stepped up today, like Urbanski playing wide, Moro in midfield, Holm who had to adapt as a left-back, Casale getting minutes in his legs. “It really was not easy here and the lads are very happy, also as they prepare for the next games. I am very happy too, as I saw a response from many lads, we now have a clear identity and our approach does not change even when we rotate the squad. “I saw what I wanted to see tonight.” Bologna are not guaranteed elimination from the Champions League yet withGovernor Umar Namadi of Jigawa state and his predecessor, who is a minister of defence, Badaru Abubakar, have begun to experience a strained relationship between themselves This is similar to the growing rift between Nyesom Wike, another minister of President Tinubu and his successor in Rivers state, Siminalayi Fubara The rift in Jigawa reportedly started with the choice of the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, where the governor reportedly went against his agreement with Abubakar CHECK OUT: Education is Your Right!

The relationship between Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa State and his predecessor, Defence Minister Badaru Abubakar, has become increasingly strained. The tension between them started with the choice of the House of Assembly Speaker, where the governor backed a different candidate despite initially agreeing to support the minister's preferred choice. The rift between the Jigawa governor and his predecessor is similar to that between Nyesom Wike, another of President Bola Tinubu's ministers of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the ex-governor of Rivers state , and his successor, Siminalayi Fubara.

Abubakar vs Namadi: Tension in Jigawa Despite efforts to maintain a cordial relationship, the tension between the two camps has continued to escalate. The minister's camp feels that the governor has not accorded him enough respect, given that he brought the governor into politics .

Kelly Loeffler nominated by Trump to lead Small Business Administration

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks climbed Thursday after market superstar Nvidia and another round of companies said they’re making even fatter profits than expected. The S&P 500 pulled 0.5% higher after flipping between gains and losses several times during the day. Banks, smaller companies and other areas of the stock market that tend to do best when the economy is strong helped lead the way, while bitcoin briefly broke above $99,000. Crude oil, meanwhile, continued to rise. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 461 points, or 1.1%, and the Nasdaq composite edged up by less than 0.1%. Nvidia rose just 0.5% after beating analysts’ estimates for profit and revenue yet again, but it was still the strongest force pulling the S&P 500 upward. It also gave a forecast for revenue in the current quarter that topped most analysts’ expectations due to voracious demand for its chips used in artificial-intelligence technology. Its stock initially sank in afterhours trading Wednesday following the release of the results. Some investors said the market might have been looking for Nvidia’s revenue forecast to surpass expectations by even more. But its stock recovered in premarket trading Thursday, and Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said it was another “flawless” profit report provided by Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang, whom Ives calls “the Godfather of AI.” The stock meandered through Thursday as well, dragging the S&P 500 and other indexes back and forth. How Nvidia’s stock performs has more impact than any other because it’s grown into Wall Street’s most valuable company at roughly $3.6 trillion. The frenzy around AI is sweeping up other stocks, and Snowflake jumped 32.7% after reporting stronger results for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The company, whose platform helps customers get a better view of all their silos of data and use AI, also reported stronger revenue growth than expected. BJ’S Wholesale Club rose 8.3% after likewise delivering a bigger profit than expected. That may help calm worries about how resilient U.S. shoppers can remain, given high prices across the economy and still-high interest rates. A day earlier, Target tumbled after reporting sluggish sales in the latest quarter and giving a dour forecast for the holiday shopping season. It followed Walmart , which gave a much more encouraging outlook. Nearly 90% of the stocks in the S&P 500 ended up rising Thursday, and the gains were even bigger among smaller companies. The Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks jumped a market-leading 1.7%. Google’s parent company, Alphabet, helped keep indexes in check. It fell 4.7% after U.S. regulators asked a judge to break up the tech giant by forcing it to sell its industry-leading Chrome web browser. In a 23-page document filed late Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice called for sweeping punishments that would include restrictions preventing Android from favoring its own search engine. Regulators stopped short of demanding Google sell Android but left the door open to it if the company’s oversight committee continues to see evidence of misconduct. All told, the S&P 500 rose 31.60 points to 5,948.71. The Dow jumped 461.88 to 43,870.35, and the Nasdaq composite added 6.28 to 18,972.42. In the crypto market, bitcoin eclipsed $99,000 for the first time before pulling back toward $98,000, according to CoinDesk. It’s more than doubled so far this year, and its climb has accelerated since Election Day. President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to make the country “the crypto capital of the planet” and create a “strategic reserve” of bitcoin. Bitcoin got a further boost after Gary Gensler, the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, said Thursday he would step down in January . Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. Bitcoin and related investment have a notorious history of big price swings in both directions. MicroStrategy, a company that’s been raising cash expressly to buy bitcoin, saw an early Thursday gain of 14.6% for its stock quickly disappear. It finished the day with a loss of 16.2%. In the oil market, a barrel of benchmark U.S. crude rose 2% to bring its gain for the week to 4.8%. Brent crude, the international standard, climbed 1.8%. Oil has been rising amid escalations in the Russia-Ukraine war. In stock markets abroad, shares of India’s Adani Enterprises plunged 22.6% Thursday after the U.S. charged founder Gautam Adani in a federal indictment with securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud. The businessman and one of the world’s richest people is accused of concealing that his company’s huge solar energy project on the subcontinent was being facilitated by an alleged bribery scheme. Stock indexes elsewhere in Asia and Europe were mixed. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury inched up to 4.43% from 4.41% late Wednesday following some mixed reports on the U.S. economy. One said fewer U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week in the latest signal that the job market remains solid. Another report, though, said manufacturing in the mid-Atlantic region unexpectedly shrank. Sales of previously occupied homes, meanwhile, strengthened last month by more than expected.

Canadian Press Nov 23, 2024 7:13 AM Nov 23, 2024 7:20 AM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message MONTREAL — Police say they've arrested several people following an anti-NATO protest that included two car fires and left some businesses with smashed windows. Montreal police say they made at least three arrests following a demonstration that began late afternoon Friday. Police say that during the march, smoke bombs were deployed, metal barriers were thrown into the street and windows of businesses and at the convention centre were smashed. Delegates from NATO member states and partner countries are in Montreal this weekend to discuss issues including support for Ukraine, climate change and the future of the alliance. The protest was planned by the groups Divest for Palestine and the Convergence of Anti-Capitalist Struggles, who did not immediately respond to requests for comment Saturday. Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly condemned the protests in a Saturday morning post on social media platform X, saying that "rioting is not peaceful protest and has no place in Montreal or anywhere in Canada." "Those who spread hate and antisemitism, use violence, loot and destroy property must be condemned and held accountable," she added. Police spokesperson Manuel Couture says the demonstrators were completely dispersed at around 7 p.m. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 23, 2024.
